WASHINGTON, April 31. Politico

surveys showing Postmaster General

I Perhaps that old
idea is founded on

the suppo s 1 1 1 o n
that candidates must always be sin
less, while their managers are expect
Ml to be capable of Indiscretions.
Never the twain have, met, but do
not be too sure they will not this
time.
For one thing. Postmaster General
Farley has not missed reading those
two surveys suggesting him as- the
people's man.
There are Inner Indications that he
has not taken the matter as lightly as
the old-time politicians here, who,
after all, are merely thinking that,
because it has never been done be
fore, it cannot be done now. He has
moved so genially and quietly they
do not realize the extent of his per
sonal friendships and the fact that
'ie Is closer to the president than any
other possible candidate yet suggest
ed. Lately he has made more speeches
fir the president's court plan and has
otherwise done more to put It over
than anyone else.
A phase of the scope of Mr. Faxley'e
superior possibilities la revealed In a
bill wiilch recently passed the house
almost unnoticed. It has been on
the general's desk during the last few
days, awaiting hte suggestions before
the senate takes It up.
The bill Is a remodeled one from
iast session, known as an act to put
postmasters under civil service, but
It really puts them under Farley., It
gives him power in the future to
name postmasters without confirma-
tlon by the senate. Zn general it

Spanish Capital's Gran Via
Made Major Front of War
Subways and Base
ments Jammed by People
By George C. Jordan
MADRID. April 21. The tenth
day of Incessant Insurgent shellflre
rolled up a total of 150 dead within
Madrid today and forced a grave test
of the city's fatalism under nearly a
half year of siege.
Thirty-two bodies were hauled to
morgues this evening, the grim har
vest of today's Insurgent cannonade
from the besiegers' gun emplacements
in the city a suburbs i
At least 100 more were Injured to-;
day. a third of them gravely. The 1
fatalities made the toll approximate- i
ly 150 for the ten days of bombard
ment. Lasts All Iay
The newest phase of the bombard- j
ment began before dawn and lasted, !
with the briefest of lulls, all day.
Something like 250 shells were pour-;
eo into this city of a million peo
ple; Madrid's Gran Via. her "Broad
way." was made a major front of war.
As this was being telephoned, big
shells were falling, one every two or
three minutes, in the Oran Via.
I saw one strike a street car. A
woman with shattered legs was pull
ed out. Fourteen other passengers
were wounded.
The ones who were not hurt ran
pell-mell for a subway entrance.
One man lay In a gutter. From
where I watched In the big tele
phone building he aeemed badly
hurt. He dragged himself toward us.
Suddenly, he Jumped trp and ran, '
A little boy fell in the street. A
passing auto hustled him away.
Other autos tried to speed by. but
militiamen, waving their pistols,
halted them and drafted them as
ambulances.
Subway jammed
Glass flew about us from our own
windows in the "Telefonica." Every
shell hit brought the sickening roar
of falling debris.
Subways and basements were Jam
medthey had been Jammed for
hours by refugees, afraid to go home.
It was the worst of all Madrid's
shell logs.
Some of the shells hit high In the
buildings: others fell square In the
streets, spraying shrapnel: sending up
showers of stone and plaster.
It seemed as If downtown Madrid
was literally destroyed before our
eyes. '
In the basement of the "Telefon
ica", doctors and nurses worked over
the wounded. Militiamen, In a steady
stream, bore in the Injured, some of
them on stretchers made out of
coats.

On Committee Proposal
for Special Election to
Ballot Upon Bond Issue
The city council last night defer
red action on a special committee re
port recommending a public vote on
a aso.OOO revolving fund for the re
pair of atreeta.
M. N. Hogan expressed the oplnton
that a limit should be set for the
total amount of bonds that might be
issued, saying he did not believe the
citizens would approve a charter
amendment unless there was a def
inite limitation.
C. C. Furnaa, member of the spe

was a limit of $50,000 In the amount
of bonds that might be outstanding
at any one time and that additional
bonds could be Issued only to the
extent by which the original aso.OOO
had been retired. The committee's
proposal provided for the retirement
of the 50,000 Issue over a five-year
period. i
Permanent Fund Needed
Mr. Furnas emphasized thst a per

and to avert a repetition of the pres

a provision for a email tax levy to
