MEDFOKD MATL TRIBTTITE, MEDFOftP OKEGpy. fOyD'AT. "APHTTj 26. 1937 PXGE EIGHT SPANISH CITIZEN IN NATIVE LAND In an Inform! and priTat talk befor member of th American As sociation of University Women here turd ay, Jose Pedroso. Spanish cltl ho traveling In th United States, presented his views on the present Spanish civil war. As a member of what 1 commonly trrmed the rebel party Pedroeo con demned the defending government party a attempting to Impose a communistic Jictatorahlp on Spain. The speaker stressed he represents no party or faction and the purpose of his visit to the United States is to look after private business Inter ests. He makes no public appearances. Pedroso explained events leading up to the rebellion, claiming that the present government is made up of extreme leftists, anarchists, com munists and republicans and that their purpose Is to set up a prole tarian dictatorship. The speaker described the period between February 16 and June 20 of 1938, Immediately preceding the rebellion, as one of terrorism pro mulgated by government powers dur ing which churches were burned and hundreds murdered. At that time, he said, It was not safe to venture out of cities for fear of assassination, rconomlo life of the country was completely paralyzed by such condi tio said. The army presented the only fac tion well enough organized to op pose the existing government, he re lated, and It was at this time that General Francisco Franco rose, to lead the rebellion, following the assassin ation by police of Calvo Sotelo, lead er of the moderate faction. Pedroso stated that almost every article of Spain's very liberal constitution adoptedwln 1032, had been broken by the government before Franco's ac tion. Refuting the charge of fascism as applied to the rebel faction, Pedroso stated that although It Is true his party adopted a few fasclstlc tenden cies In order to defend themselves against the extremist government, true fascists make up a very small minority of the group. He stated that citizens having the true Inter est of their country at heart make up 'the rebelling party,, no matter wbat their political or religious tag may be. Concerning foreign Intervention. Pedroso reported that Russia was Che first country to enter Into the Span ish trouble following an appeal from the leftist government, with France following soon after. He described the Moorish contingent as colonial Spanish troops, rather than foreign soldiers, as he characterised them as being so closely allied to people of southern Spain, both physically and as to racial characteristics that they cannot be termed outsiders. The Moors, he said, entered the war In defense of religion and because of patriotic feeling. Pedroso has been visiting In the United States since January of this year and plana to return to Spain soon. He was here at the time of the outbreak of the war last , year and has spent most of the Intervening time In Spain.

True Indication The present building activity Is a truer Indication of the actual return to "good times" than has been any other construction era since 1929 Rogers pointed out. Total value of building activity In 1931 and 1932 was high, he said, because of the con struction of the courthouse, the high school, and the Washington school; depression projects that were no cri terion of the general and actual busi ness conditions of Medford. . "Construction In 1931 and 1932 did not reflect the true condition of the city," Rogers said, "but building this year so far and that anticipated has been made because of necessity." , Building Needed Increased business activity In all lines has made It Imperative that stores and ' companies enlarge and build to meet the demands, the building superintendent explained. At the present- time, two Important remodeling programs are : under way, the largest of which Is on the Fluhrer building, East Main street and Cen tral avenue. The entire building is being modernized, both Interior and exterior, and while no cost has been announced, - the sum Is expected to run Into thousands of dollars. The Hotel Allen at East Main and Front streets 'Is having Its exterior rebuilt at a stated cost of $5000. Remodeling of the lobby will be done In the near future. Since the first of the year, major remodeling projects haVe . Included the . Montgomery .Ward and company building and Kidd's Shoe store. The New Craterlan theatre after weeks of having Its Interior redecorated and remodeled at a stated cost of 836,000, opened Its doors December 27, so can be practically classed as a 1937 enter prise. Smaller moves and remodeling pro grams, none the less Important be cause of the money Involved, Include the moving and complete remodeling ol the Smokehouse Bowling alleys, moving and remodeling of the Med ford school of beauty culture; build ing of an addition to the Medford Ice A Storage company; moving and re modeling of Emll Peon's butcher shop; building of a pickle room at Buber's Packing plant; and the leas ing of the building at East Main street and Riverside avenue by the Rogue River Chevrolet company. Airport on List Although not actually In the city, the Medford airport Is a city project and rightfully takes Its place with local building programs. Included in the expansion program at the fine port Is the complete new lighting sys tem, made necessary because of the length of the main runway and the Increased area of the field. Already, 10,000 feet of underground cable has been Installed, and 30 000 more feet will be put In during the next two weeks, Rogers said. The lightng system program calls for new border lights and the removal of about 800 feet of telephone lines on the Owen-Oregon right-of-way. The lines will be placed underground.
