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.

tnree distinct types of planes on com
mercial schedules. One. Is the long
range type, like the new Douglas
ships, another Is the Intermediate
type like the present Boeings and the
third la a type for the exclusive
transportation of freight. The third
type he thought would be In opera
tion In a few years.
The company now has under con
struction at the Douglas plant a new
type passenger plane whose Interior
U a foot wider than the interior of
a Pullman car Mr.,Patterson related.
The plane has sleeping accommoda
tions for 28 passengers at night and
will carry 40 passengers In the day
time, he said. It will carry a crew
of five.
Airport Satisfactory

span of San Francisco to Chicago. It
is to be put Into trial operation about

only to tfhe firms and persons In
volved, cannot be announced at pres
ent. 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.
