(By The Associated Press4
UNDATED, Sept. 21, — Govern
ment militiamen retreated today
before a relentless charge of
Moorish legionnaires at Maqueda
a junction on the vital highway
to Madrid, which is only 40 mil
es from the capitol.
Thousands of other government
soldiers, organized into bomb
ing squads, surrounded shell
scarred Alcazar in Toledo, for a
decisive assault.
Moorish troops, recruited from
Spanish Morocco, drove forward
half way from Talavera and Dela
Reina, to Maffueda, behind a
shield of machine gun bullets
which left many bodies of gov-!
ernment troops in their path.
Government bombing planes
sought vainly to scatter the ad
vances, but most of the shells
went wide in tne murK oi a nriv
ing rain.
More American fugitives board
ed the U. S. destroyer “Quincy”
at Alcante, after emigrant officials
had delayed their departure by
forcing them to appeal to the civ
il authorities to save their per
sonal jewelry from confiscation.
Didn’t Like Publicity
Private sources in Havana,
Cuba quarters suspected Spanish
residents, angered over the pub
lication of war news which was
unfavorable to the Spanish gov
ernment, detonated the blast
which killed four persons and
wrecked two buildings yester
day.

J. N. Garner
Real Person
His Position
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, —
While Vice-President John N.
Garner describes himself as the
“spare tire of the government”,
the busy-*browed, ruddy-faced
Texan with the big grin and
twinkling eyes is regarded in
Washington as one of the most
powerful figures in the Roosevelt
administration.
“Cactus Jack” would be the
last to admit such a distinction.
He would probably laugh at the
suggestion as he did once when
a circus clown greeted him in
the senate office building.
“I am head clown of the Hag
enbeck circus”, said the visitor.
“And I am Vice President of
the United States”, Garner replied
solemnly—then added: “Stick ar
ound a while. You might pick up
some new ideas.”
Again On Ticket
A loyal supporter of the ad
ministration but a “silent critic”
of some New Deal policies, he
^ was selected without opposition
as Roosevelt’s teammate for re
nomination.
Garner is essentially the same
‘‘homespun statesman” who came
up through the ranks as a mem
ber of the House to become his
party’s leader and speaker in
that body on his way to the Vice
Presidency.
He still goes to bed at 9 o’clock
and rises with the dawn, refuses
to don a dress suit except on for
mal state occasions and enjoys
fishing and baseball games.
Kink Cramps Fishing
A kink in his right shoulder
now prevents him from tossing
plugs with his old accuracy at
bass in the rivers around his
home at Uvalde.
‘‘I just row the boat now,” he
says.
He has a way of his own for salv
ing his conscience for leaving
the senate for the ball park.
“I always take two Republicans
and one Democrat along with
me, so that if any votes come up
while I’m away, we Democrats
have a little the best of it.”
He admits he saw the hilarious
travesty on Washington politics,
the prize-winning play, "Of
Thee I sing”, as many times as
he could. He particularly liked
the part where Victor Moore, as
Vice President Throttlebottom,
had to join a sightseeing party to
get into his own offices. He and
Moore became great friends, ex
changed pictures and autographs.
Entering public life as a coun
ty judge, he served two terms in
the Texas Legislature before he
came to Washington in 1903 as a
member of the House.
“When I first came to Con
gress”, he says, “the autocratic
leaders of the party thought I
was just another cow thief from
Texas. They rolled me on the
committees, giving me minor as
signments. When I kicked, they
put me on the foreign affairs
committee and I was forced to
HEARST OFFERED TO
SHOW PRESIDENT IS
RECEIVING SUPPORT
(By The Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Sept. 21, — Wil
liam Randolph Hearst published
a “reply to the President” saying
he’d show that Roosevelt re
ceives “support of enemies of the
American system of government.
The thousand word statement
was issued by Hearst from Am
sterdam, where he is visiting, the
day after the White House said:
“A certain notorious newspap
; er publisher” is attempting “to
make it appear that President
Roosevelt is accepting support
from alien organizations hostile
to the American form of govern
ment.” The memorandum said
“such articles are conceived in
malice born of political spite.”
sit beside Nick Longworth.
We tried to outsmart each oth-:
er for 30 years after that.”
Sixty-three when he became
Vice-President, Garner lives at a
Washington hotel with his wife,
for years his secretary and poli
tical ally. Until his death, Will
Rogers always was a guest at
their annual dinners for the Pres
ident.
The Garner’s only son, Tully,
lives in Texas.
Hearst’s reply followed his
newspaper’s publication of an art
icle asserting that Russia and
the Communist party in the Un
ited States, are taking part in
the presidential campaign on the
side of the New Deal.
The White House made no fur
ther comment but Earl Browder,
communist presidential candidate
said:
“The Hearst-Landon campaign
must indeed be weakening if it
needs such desperate lies to bol
ster it up’’.
Hearst declared:
Roosevelt was no sooner elect
ed than he adopted Marx social
ists in almost every word and
letter. He compelled the recogni
tion of the bloody dictatorship of
Stalin in Moscow.
“Roosevelt must know that
Bolshevist tyranny openly pur
poses to secure, and overthrow
the American system of govern
ment by boring from within—
the gospel which Professor
Frankfurtser preaches—the surg
ing forward of workers and farm
ers which Tugwell advocates—
and the active and actual revolu
tion which Richberg hails as
here.”

HAVANA NEWSPAPER BLOWN
UP. FOUR WERE KILLED &
CHURCH WAS DESTROYED
(By The Associated Press)
HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. 21, —
Copyrighted—Dynamite wrecked
the plant of the newspaper “El
Pais” Sunday, and demolished
a Catholic Church, forty-five min
utes before the First Mass was
to be read, and killed four per
sons.
A resulting riot spread rapidly
throughout the city’s metropoli
tan area, and at least twenty per
isons were injured. Police ar
rested twenty members of the
Spanish socialist circle, and raid
ed other organizations.
The El Pais expressed sym
pathy through editorials, with
the Fascists in the Spanish civil
war. The paper circulated wide
ly among Spanish residents.
The police prevented the dyna
miting of the conservative news
paper “Diaro de la Marina,” by
breaking the wires attached to
a thousand sticks of dynamite.
The Catholic church “Nuestra
Senora de Monserrate” across the
street from the El Pais, was re
duced to ruins.
The dynamite which blew up
the newspaper was cached in a
truck parked in front of the
newspaper offices. The truck was
blown to bits—the front fenders
were found eight block away
from the tires.
While socialists or anarchists
are suspected in some quarters,
the real motive for the dynamit
ing was not immediately discern
able.
