WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. A heavy
lull has developed lately among the
government's prying 6quads. The
young hawksaws in many of the fed
eral services seem
to have lost much
of their zest for
their business.
Some have sus
pected It Is only
campaign quiet.
Others accopt It
as a natural re
action to Treas
ury secretary
Hoigint hau's
public demotion
of two s e o r e t
service agents
who spied on O-
Men. Both of
' these guesses may
be close, but a more Impressive ex
planation is accredited on the Inside.
Some weeks before Mr. Morgen
thau's decisive action, an Investigat
ing genius in another government de
partment wss invited to take a Job
outside the executive branch of the
government, and he accepted. The
news of bis departure was msde pub
lic, but no excuse was over offered.
The inside explanation is that this
genius also made the mistake of in
vestigating another government offi
cial outside bis department, this time
a friend of Vice-President aarner and
Chairman Parley. The investigated
official left Washington In a huff and
bss not returned. Messrs, Darner and
Parley are supposed to have engin
eered the subsequent offer which led
the investigating ex-genlus Into other
fields.
Thus, a salutary peace haa come to
Washington.." " - - .'"
The question of whether"- Father
Coughlln has been put under good
behavior restrictions for the presiden
tial campaign is still an open one,
despite the whoopee made at his
Cleveland convention.
Several conflicting storlea are being
spread about what he will do. The In
side consensus here is that he will go
ahead with what he has started, but
in a much calmer tone or voice.
His radio manager has announced,
without explanation, the cancellation
of his fall and winter series of Sun
day afternoon broadcasts, until
"sometime after the first of the year."
The assumption is he will reserve a
schedule on the mutual network for
the Lemke-O'Brtcn ticket, but the
trade publication, "Broadcasting." re
ports thst he has announced no time
reservations yet.
Meanwhile, the communist party
has budgeted Itself for $60,000 worth
of radio time, wherever it got the
money.
President Roosevelt's board of cam
paign strategy is not unanimously In
favor of his coming trip to the North
Dakota drought area.
More than two are supposed' to
have advised tho President not . to
make the trip, on the ground that It
would not do him much good and

MADRID, Aug. 18. (Via Gibraltar,
Uncensored) Leaders of the Spanish
socialist government, fesrlng fall of
the capital, were reliably reported
today to be holding three airliners In
readiness to speed their flight at a
moment'a notice. .
. Insurgents In the Guadarram
mountains north of Madrid are firmly
established and have only to await
reinforcements coming from other
sides of the capital before opening a
forceful attack.
There Is opinion here the rebels
then would have the capital at their
mercy. ,
The crucial moment, It Is believed,
will come within the next 10 days.
In a land attack on San Sebastian
and Iruu, the rebela tried a new ad
vance over the hills from the direc
tion of Enderlaza In the face of heavy
machine gun tire and air attack.
Reporta that rebel troops from
Oyarzun had cut off communications
between Irun and San Sebastian were
discredited by government forces.
At the same time, Insurgents ope
rating out of Tolosa attempted a
westward advance toward Azpeua, jo

Other deliveries of corn advanced
about two cents a bushel In sympathy

Hogs, on the crest of the sharpest
