Rebels Plan
Fresh Drive
On Madrid
25,000 More Men
Pledged for Cam
paign; Government
To Resist Them
(By The Associated Press.)
With determined rebel vanguards
11etching out toward Madrid, Spain’s
Fascist commander-in-chief, General
Francisco Franco, today was reported
to have pledged 25,000 more men to
the Talavera march on the capital.
This report came from a Fascist de
serter, who said the insurgent chief
’s ins, with headquarters at Talavera,
had told Franco:
"The militia is braver than we are.”
The Socialist government contended
it was successfully checking advances
both on Madrid and on Toledo, and
coined a new watchword:
"They shall retreat.”
In Nthe north the Fascists drove
"ii toward Orio, ten miles west of the
fallen city of San Sebastian in a gen
eral push on the seaport of Bilbao.
The United States consulate was
abandoned at Bilbao, and foreigners
were hastily evacuating the city.

Ocean Fliers Forced Down
In Newfoundland on Re

New York. Sept. 15. —(AP) —Rescue
wa.s near at hand at noon today for
the trans-Atlantic fliers, Harry Rich
man and Dick Merrill, grounded in a
Newfoundland hog at Musgrave Bay.
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, vet
eran airman, flying a plane with
supplies and spare parts for the round
trip ocean fliers, was sighted over
Bay Roberts, near Harbor Grace,
Newfoundland, at 10:07 a. m., eastern
standard time.
From Harbor Grace, officials at
Floyd Bennett airport, Brooklyn said
the distance to Musgrave Bay is only
70 miles or so. Rickenbacker, they
said, could probably land on the beach
•.here.
Richman, night club entertainer,
and Merrill, transport and air mail
pilot, came to earth near rockbound
Musgrave harbor yesterday afternoon
and spent, the night at a private home
a short distance away.
Reports from the lonely coast town
were meagre as a solitary girl tele
graph operator sought unsuccessfully
to keep abreast of the heavy influx
of messages inquiring about the fliers.

Business Is
Now Normal,
Babson Says
Many Lines Th i s
F'all to Exceed 1929;
Outlook Rosy for
Next Few Years
Boston, Mass., Sept. 15. —(AP) —
Roger W. Batson said today business,
after six years of depression, has at
last reached normal, and that “for
the next two or three years I am bul
lish on everything except democracy.”
“Os course, I am bullish on demo
cracy on the long pull,” the business
statistician told the Adevtrising Club
of Boston. “Democracy will be the
ultimate form of government. But to
day, due to unprinpipalled and sel
fish politicians, Democracy has col
lapsed throughout pretty much of the
entire world. Only a spiritual revival
can prevent such a collapse in
America.”
For the fourth time since he began
studying business curves, 35 years
ago, Babson said the cycle had cross
ed the normal line and is back again
to the average of 1925, 1926 and 1927.
“If the heavy industries and gen
eral buildinging construction were ac
tive, business would be far above the
normal line, approaching 1929 highs,”
he added.
He said 1936 will be the best since
1929 for automobiles and steel, and
among lines equalling or exceeding
1929 peaks he cited retail trade, pow
er production, cement and electrical
appliances.
He predicted a sharp advance in
the price of real estate, commodities
and stocks, wages and interest rates,
larger farm crops and a rise in rail
road traffic.
Legion Men Deny
Planning Killing
Detroit, Mich., Sept. 15 (AP)—
Four of the 12 men charged with
the Black Legion killing of Chas.
A. Poole, in statements read to
day at their trial, said they were
told iast May 12 that Poole beat
his wife and he was to be flogged
—not murdered—that night.
Detective Lieutenant John
Machiink read Urgan “Lipps’
statement taken by police after
his arrest, which said he lured
Poole from a beer garden on the
pretext he was going to a “base
ball meeting,” on orders of Harvey
Davis, named as the “ring leader”
by Dayton Dean, confessed “exe
cutioner” in the shooting.
Lipps told of riding in the back
seat of an automobile with Poole
and Dean to a lonely road near
surhurban Dearborn, where Poole
was killed.
“We got out of the car,” Lipps’
statement said. “I heard shots.
Then Harvey Davis came back
and said for me to keep my mouth
shut” ’

Portland, Maine, Sept. 15. —(AP) —
Republicans swept Maine offices to
day in a State election featured by a
5,000-vote victory of Senator Wallace
H. White, Jr., for a second term over
Governor Louis J. Brann.
The record balloting in the tradi
tionally Republican State also saw the
party’s candidates for governor and
three United States representatives
win by much larger margins.
The Republican victory, which ob
servers studied closely for possible
portents in the nationwide Novem
ber poll, ousted the Democrats from
four years of State control. Demo
crats had held two of the congres
sional posts, besides the governor
ship.
Senator White, a Republican vet

rural districts and small towns to
overturn Brann’s margin in 12 of the
State’s municipalities.
