GIBRALTAR, Jan. 13.-()-In-
creasing desertions and uneasiness in
Insurgent territory, following the
Spanish government's capture of
strategic Teruel, were reported to-f
night by impartial foreign sources.,
The Insurgents have installed an
armed cavalry patrol in the no-man's-
land separating British Gibraltar
from Insurgent-held La Linea in an
effort to check the desertions from
Generalissimo Francisco Franco's
army.
Coast Guard Reinforced
At the same time Coast Guard de-
tachments were reinforced by ma-
chine gun equipped units to prevent
further escapes by sea from Algeciras.
Persistent reports of a mutiny
among the Insurgent forces in south-
ern Spain have been denied by re-
liable authorities. Scores of Insur-
gent deserters, however, have been
crossing into British territory day and
night to fight for the government.
The majority of deserters have
escaped by going in small fishing
boats from neighboring Insurgent
towns direct to, the internationalized
city of Tangier, North Africa. From'
there the Spanish consul sent them
to Valencia.
Deserters Arrested
The deserters who enter Gibraltar'
are arrested and fined'in police courti

Zone without permission. The Span-
ish consul, however, pays their fines;
and sends the deserters to Tangier

Japanese Are Said To Have
Control Only Of Railway
In PeipingTerritory
PEIPING, North China-(Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press)-
The Chinese Red Army is on the loose
in North China.
Beyond the Japanese control of the
railway zones, which seldom extends
more than a few miles, the Com-
munist forces and allied bands of
armed Chinese are said to control
everything.
They fade into the rugged hinter-
lands upon the approach of Japanese
warplanes and tanks, but when these
have returned to their bases, the Ir-
regulars resume control.
Persistent reports state these forces
are penetrating all districts just be-
yond reach of the Japanese. They
are well armed with machine-guns
and rifles, and have been known as
the Eighth Route Army since the
reorganization of last summer.
The Red Army has found almost
unlimited material. Armed and un-
paid remnants of the 26th, the 29th
and 53rd armies were scattered
among the inland towns of Hopeh.
While not necessarily communistic,
these soldiers readily fall in with
anti-Japanese plans.
Working with typical Communist
technique, they inoculate each com-
munity with a "cell" composed of one
or more organizers who proceed to
build up an "anti-Japanese defense
corps."
They held up the Japanese advance
n North Shansi for a month last fall,
which Japan admitted was the stiff-
est resistance encountered in North
China. American missionaries said
there are 30,000 of these troops in
northeastern Shansi near Wutaishan,

Lecturer Tells Experience
While Filmnig Thrills
For Moving Pictures
Two thousand persons heard Capt.
John Craig commence his lecture last
night in Hill Auditorium and two
thousand persons remained to hear
him finish it.
Brought here by popular request
for the second successive season, Cap-
tain Craig regaled his audience last
night with tales of thrill-movie
shooting in Africa as he explained
that Hollywood completely misses the
humor and anecdote of life on the
dark continent by insisting on sen-
sational instead of regular-life scenes.
The speaker told of spending six
months and $38,000 to get one picture
of a large-maned lion drinking at a
water hole, ostensibly for the picture
"Trader Horn," but never used; of
shooting polar, bears in Alaska which
had been shipped up for the scene
from American zoos, and of cuddle
dances among the African natives
borrowed from America's "Harlem."
The talk was accompanied by
movies depicting "the everyday life"
of an African native and "the every-
day life" of African animals.
Propose Third Try
To End Ford Strike
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 13.-(A')-The
Ford Motor Co., which had rejected
two preious peace proposals, was
asked today to consider a third plan
for settlement of a strike called by the
United Automobile Workers of Amer-
ica at its St. Louis assembly plant.
"Let's get together and get the men
off the picket line," John L. Sullivan,
union attorney, said to the company's
counsel, Thomas F. Muldoon, at a
National Labor Relations Board hear-
ing.
He suggested that the company
dismiss all employes who were not on
its payroll at the time of a seasonal
layoff last Sept. 15 and then refill
their jobs with union men on the ba-
sis of seniority. In return, he said
the union would end its strike.

President To Qutit
NEW YORK, Jan. 13.--(1)-Frank
B. Noyes, one of a little band of men,
who made a journalistic revolution
half a lifetime ago that formed the
the sacred mountain. One group, said
to number 10,000 men, moved east-
ward into Hopeh and organized 20,-
000 more peasants and remnant
troops as they marched.
Red 'Army forces have spread
southward over the plain lying be-
tween Peiping and Tientsin.
Irregulars occupy the mountainous
regions west of Peiping to within 20
miles of the city. They captured a
Japanese airfield and destroyed sev-
eral bombing planes at Hantan,
southern Hopeh, according to the re-
port of a Japanese aviator who re-
turned here by rail.
Japanese abandoned the Paoting-
Tientsin highway and the Tatung-
Taiyuan highway in North Shansi be-
cause of the danger.
Every railway station in North
China has a guard of Japanese sol-
diers. Trains do not run at night.
Both armies levy heavily on the
peasant's produce. Peasants who re-
main face famine. "We can harrass
the Japanese for years to come," an
Irregular said to a foreigner.
Meanwhile, Japanese planes and
tanks dart out to attack any report-
ed concentrations. The Red Army
continues to reorganize, recruit peas-
ants and lay in supplies for an ex-
tended fight.
Treasury Head
Holds Tax Rise
Untimely Now
Morgenthau Says Present
Revenue Should Suffice
For Government Needs
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-W)P-This
is no time to impose additional taxes,
Secretary of Treasury Henry Mor-
genthau advised Congress in testi-
mony made public today.
Testifying recently at a closed ses-
sion of the House subcommittee which
considered the Treasury's appropria-
tion for the next fiscal year, he said:
"With the business situation as it
is now, we do not feel like recom-
mending additional taxes over and
above the present tax structure.
"I think it is most important that
we keep the revenue that we have on
the present tax basis. ,
Asked by Representative Ludlow
(Dem., Ind.) for his opinion as to
how much longer the government
could operate with a deficit and still
maintain its credit, the Secretary of
the Treasury replied:
"I do not know. ...Of course, we
think we should balance the budget
just as fast as we can, always keeping
in mind that we may have an unem-
ployment situation ... The Adminis-
tration will not let anybody starve.
Barring that situation, the chances of
balancing the budget are excellent."
U.S. Ships iSail
To Visit Orient
British Invite Fleet To See
Inauguration Of Docks
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-(A)-
rhree United States cruisers received
orders today to proceed to Singapore
to attend the inauguration of new
naval docks at Great Britain's power-
ful Far Eastern naval base.
Naval observers saw in the visit a
sign of increasing friendliness be-
tween the fleets of the two nations.
Officials said the visit was not in
reference to the troubled Far Eastern
situation, but oper informed persons
felt it was a symbolic gesture for the
benefit of Japan.
The cruisers are the Memphis, Mil-
waukee and Trenton, each 7,500 tons,
commanded by Rear-Admiral Julius
C. Townsend. They must be in Sing-
apore by Feb. 14.
They left Honolulu day before yes-
terday, in company with the 10,000-
ton cruiser Louisville, en route to Syd-
ney, Australia, to attend the cele-
bration of the founding of Australia.
They departed from San Pedro, Calif.
Jan. 3.
Officials said the visit to Singapore
was being made during the cruisers'
return trip to the United States. Ob-
servers pointed out, however, that
Singapore was far off the return route
unless the cruisers returned by way
of Europe.

Expect Deposed
Premier To Return
PARIS, Jan. 14.-Friday)-()-.
Defense Minister Edouard i;aladier
today announced the resignation of
Premier Camille Chautemp's People's
Front cabinet.
Chautemps, a Radical Socialist,
formed the second People's Front
government June 22, 1937, after the
ministry of Socialist Leon Blum fell
because a conservative Senate re.
fused him decree powers over troubled
French finances.
Radical Socialists and Socialists
were in the cabinet. The govern-
ment was supported in parliament by
the Communists.
The crisis in the government de-
veloped quickly this morning, after
the fate of the cabinet had wavered
back and forth, when Chautemps
told the Communists to vote as they
pleased on the confidence motion.
Communists Rubbed Wrong Way
Some Socialists were angered at
his abrupt treatment of the Co-
munists while others who were par-
tisans of exchange control decided a
statement by the Premier in fiat op-
position meant they were unable to
support him.
Socialists left the Chamber and a
delegation went to awaken Vice-
Premier Blum.
The decision of the Socialist min-
isters to resign followed.
The Chamber still had before it
the question of confidence which
Chautemps demanded to reinforce
his government in the fight against
the falling franc.
The political crisis in the midst of
the financial and labor troubles led
deputies to demand that a, new gov-
ernment be formed quickly.
Chautemps M4'ay Return
Somehbelieved Chautemps might
get the call while others mentioned
as possibilities Edouard Herriot, pres-
ident of the Chamber, and Albert
Sarraut, both former Premiers.
The order of the day voted by the
Socialists laid the blame for their-
resignation both on the Communists
for stating they would not vote with
the People's Front and on Chau-
temps for giving his consent to. the
Communist refusal.
Deputies said the differences within
the People's Front were that Social-
ists and Communists wanted ex-
change control and no stern action
against strikes while Radical Social-
ists backed the premier in seeking ac-
tion to end strikes and in opposition
to exchange control.
The Premier in seeking a vote of
confidence attributed weakness of the
franc to strife between workers and
employers and declared it had no jus-
tification in France's financial posi-
tion.
Progressives
Hold Debate
Panorama has suspended publica-
tion.
Hailed as a country-wide innova-
tion in collegiate publications, Pano-
rama gave promise of developing a
new fad in campus magazines. Press-
ing financial difficulties, however, cut
short its career and forced the Board
in Control of Student Publications to
announce its discontinuance yester-
day.
Panorama was the brain child of
Robert Lodge, 39, and. Joan Hanson,
40, its business manager and editor-
in-chief respectively. Announcement
of the new publication was made last
Spring and the first issue appeared in
September. It has published six is-
sues.
Emphasizing that they had no
quarrel or criticism with the charac-
ter of the magazine, the Board called
the publication a creditable job and
pointed out that financial difficulties
were solely responsible for its collapse.
