DAWES IN NEW BOOK
CHICAGO, May 10. AP) Oeneral
Charles G. Dawes predicted today
prosperity's return would be inter
rupted In the summer or fall of 1939
with another stock market collapse
and a minor bualnesa recession.
The slump, he wrote In a book re
leased today, will last one or two
years and will be followed by a "pe
riod of prosperity" the duration of
which he did not predict.
The book, "How Long Prosperity,"
reviewed the end of the depression
forecast made In December, 1934, by
the 71 -year-old Chicago banker and
vice-president in tbe "Coolldge boom"
era. . At that time hp predicted that
the summer of 1038 would bring
sustained, demand for durable goods,
signalising recovery. The' upturn
started in July.
Dow re wrote the theory he ad
vanced then that the major depres
sions of 1873, 1893 and 1039 had sub
stantially the same history waa the
basis of his latest analysis.
"I predict that barring wars or
Inflation of the currency, that a high
degree of prosperity will maintain In
this country Into 3939," he wrote.
"That beginning In the latter part
of the year October. 1938-October,
1939 (the tenth year after the market
collapse of October, 1939) to-wlt: In
the summer or fall of 1939 there will
be a stock market collapse.
"Tli a t there will then ensue In the
United States a minor depression of
business of one or two years."

Imllio Mola's Insurgent army met
stiffened resistance today as Basque
and Austrian troops, aided by the
women of Bilbao, dug new trench ea to
strengthen battered defenses of the
Blacayan capital on Spaln'a northern
coast.
Preparing for a fight to the finish
In defense of Bilbao, government bat
talions blocked Insurgent attacker
north and east of the capital on the
road to Begona and Oaldacano, two
principal gateways to the Basque sea
port. Soldiers and women rushed work
on the city's defenses to the north,
east and south, remembering the de
ficiency of fortification at Malaga,
southeastern seaport, which fell be
fore an Insurgent advance months
ago.
Desperate fighting raged on Mount
Soli u be, northeast of the city, where
the Basques reported an Aaturlan
brigade remained moat of the ground
lost In a retreat Saturday, (The Insur
gents, however, claimed possession of
Mount Sol lube's summit.)
The rocky heights of Orduna, south
of Bilbao, formed a natural fortress
against Gen. Mola'a troops. Govern
ment forces retired east of Rigoltla
and Muglca to a position considered
more easily defensable against a pos
sible Insurgent attempt to join forces
for Ouernlca with those battling on
