Rebel rear guards, the government said, were so severely damaged that in their haste to retreat they had placed their fronts in grave danger. One of the strongest air drives was against Pozoblanco, key point of the Loyalist attack on Cordoba in the South. Attacks also were launched against Jaen and Granada. Fra~nco's Troops Routed Four loyal bombing planes leading the attack on Pozoblanco dropped large quantities of bombs, the aviat- ors reported, and completely demor- alized the rebels. Cutting deep into southern rebel territory, the loyalists captured Ada- muz, seized two pieces of artillery and several machine guns, then marched on the important rebel town of Cor- doba, 21 miles further south. To all appearances, the government forces were fast disorganizing the WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-(") -A spectacular airplane rescue of four American women from Granada today topped a series of swiftly moving develompents in the Spanishrevolution of espe- cial significance to the United States..

Francisco Franco's troops, intent on the cap- ture of Madrid. Bombardment of Granada, also in the South, was con- tinued by the loyalists. Rebel claims to Santander on the northern frontier and Badajoz, near Portugal in the South, were denied by the war Ministry here. Loyalists Capture Villages (Capture of Santander and Bada- joz was announced by fascists yes- terday. They occupied Tolosa on the road to San Sebastian today and ap- parently met with marked success in the drive to win a seaport on the Bay of Biscay. (Government leftists asserted To- losa was evacuated voluntarily to lead the rebel fascists into a trap. The situation was critical, however, with San Sebastian faced by severe food shortage). Loyalists announced capture of three small villages, Gels, Pina and Osera, near the Zaragoza rebel con- centration northeast of the Spanish capital. (Capture of a dozen other small communities in the area was claimed yesterday). Bitter fighting continued in the Guadarrama Mountain chain outside Madrid, but loyalists continued to ad- vance there and contended the cap- ital now was safe from attack by that route. Enlistment of volunteernsoldiers continued in the capital and fresh troops were dispatched to aid in the (Continued on Page 3) League Holds Final Tea Dance Today The final tea dance of the Summer Session will be held from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. today in the League ballroom.

Charles A. Lindbergh, in his first public appearance as a scientist, and Dr. Alexis Carrel today displayed their mechanical heart 'to eager, ex- cited members of the International Congress of Experimental Cytology. In groups of ten, the scientists pushedintothe small room to learn intricacies of the apparatus by which organs of the body can be kept alive indefinitely for observation and study. Dr. Carrel, who supplied technical knowledge for construction of the heart, answered questions in French. Col. Lindbergh, who developed the Seek Pensions In 4,308 Cases Now On Relief State Relief Commission Strives For Agreement With Old Age Bureau LANSING, Aug. 11.-(P)-The State Emergency Relief Commission bargained with the Old Age Assist- ance Bureau today to remove 4,308 cases from direct relief and support them with pensions. Dr. William Haber, state relief di- rector, told the commission it has been paying $43,000 monthly to sup- port the cases, all of which are el- igible for old age assistance. Com- missioners agreed to turn $200,000 of its funds over to the bureau if it ac- cepts the aged cases. Haber explained the Federal gov- ernment will match the $200,000 with a like amount under the Social Se- curity Act. He estimated if the bu- reau accepts the proposal, both it and the commission will have sufficient funds to meet requests for aid until after January. Opposes Fitzgerald The commission has $6,163,824 left from the $9,000,000 state appropria- tion for the present fiscal year after making its allocation for August. The relief director pointed out the legis- lature will be in session when funds are exhausted and may make an emergency appropriation. Chairman William J. Norton, of Detroit, voiced a commission policy indirectly in opposition to the opin- ion of Governor Fitzgerald when he said industrial strikers will be fed if they are hungry. Governor Fitz- gerald recently told representatives of a group of upper peninsula laborers he could not promise them support for their famiiles if they struck. "We previously passed on that question," Norton said when the is- sue was discussed today. "We have no right, when a person is hungry, to ask him the cause." The commission agreed to advance relief clients who are occupying homes they are buying with HOLC loans an amount not to exceed norm- al rent to apply on the interest or principal of the loans. Haber ex- plained the procedure would entail no extra expense. The commission approved today the reorganization of 10 county relief commissions. It postponed decision on the commission suggested for Hillsdale County. The commissions approved today include: Approved Commissions Gogebic County: Harry Culver, Bessemer ,Chairman; John E. Mc- Nicholas, Marenisco, and Raymond E. Garvey, Ironwood. Osceola County: George W. John- son, Hersey, chairman; Fred Joslin, Marion, and David Rorrison, Evart. St. Joseph County: Clarence Brody, Constantine, chairman; Joseph D. Sturgis, Sturgis, and Ray Mohoney, Three Rivers. Crawford County: Alfred Hanson, Grayling, chairman; S. A.

The exhibit was closed after two and one-half hours but will open daily the remainder of the week. The pro- gram was held up for a time because the Colonel could find no thyroid gland necessary to make the heart work. Finally a cat was located, de- prived of the thyroid, and the show went on. The scientists asked questions ex- citedly, and peered intently through the glass doors of the apparatus as they watched pumps send a blood serum through the heart with rhyth- mic pulsations. The action auto- matically introduced an oxygen sup- ply and expelled carbon dioxide, much in the manner of a living heart. Observed one scientist, who watched Dr. Carrel extract the cat's thyroid before setting the heart in action : "All instruments were sent from1 America for the delicate task of put- ting the apparatus in operation. The doctors were in black blouses and wore rubber gloves. "It was a thrilling moment when these two blackclad scientits with; black masks sat down at the black; table to perform the operation. Thei whole scene reminded me of Rem-I brandt anatomical paintings. Dr. Carrell himself put the gland in the apparatus. "Everybody held his breath. Would the artificial heart beat? It did-I slowly but regularly." Tigers Takeii By Cleveland In Eighth, 6-5 Indians Gain One Game On Yanks As Becker Triplest With Vosmik On Base CLEVELAND, Aug. 11.-()-The Cleveland Indians strengthened their hold on second place and gained a game today on the New York Yankees, leaders in the American League, by defeating the Detroit Tig- , ers, 6 to 5. Joe Becker's triple with Joe Vosmik on third base in the eighth inning gave the Indians the winning run of the game. The victory put the Indians three and one half games ahead of the Chicago White Sox in third place and reduced the first place margin of the Yankees to ten and one half games. Gehringer Hits Homer The Tigers took the lead in the1 third inning when Gehringer hit a home run, scoring Burns ahead of him. The Indians got one run back in the fourth inning when Hal' Trosky hit his 33rd home run of the season. The Indians scored four runs in the sixth inning. Singles by Averill, Trosky and Weatherly and a sacri- fice by Vosmik accounted for two of them. Becker then forced Weather- ly and Knickerbocker followed with a home run, scoring Becker ahead of him. Detroit evened the score in the seventh with a walk, two singles and a double, setting the stage for Beck- er's decisive triple in the eighth. Young Jake Wade, Tiger rookie, started on the mound for Detroit and held the Indians to four hits in five innings, but he collapsed in the big sixth when he was touched for four more blows and as many runs. Roxie Lawson replaced him after he was lifted.for a pinch hitter in the sev- enth. Lawson was charged with the defeat because the Tigers had tied the score in their rally. White Starts Rally The victory was Dennis Galehouses' seventh of the season. The Tigers touched him and Lee, who replaced him in the ninth for 12 hits, two more than the Indians got from Wade and Lawson. In addition to his home run, Gehr- inger blasted out two doubles for three hits in five trips to the plate. Walker, Burns and Myatt each got two safeties, one of Walker's being a two-bagger. Jo-Jo White, pinch hitting for Wade, started the seventh-inning rally that wiped out a three-run Cleveland lead. He worked Galehouse for a walk. Walker singled and after Burns flied out, both runners scored on Gehringer's double to center field. Goose Goslin brought Gehringer- Indicted On Spy Charges Two Japanese Naval Men Named Conspirators In EspionageTrial Conspiracy Lasted For Three Years Attorney To Attempt Proof That $500 Given Each Month To Farnsworth WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-(P)- Naming two Japanese naval officers as conspirators, a federal grand jury here today indicted former Liteuten- ant-Commander John S. Farnsworth for plotting to betray American mil- itary secrets. Assistant United States Attorney Samuel F. Beach said he had not sought the indictment of the Jap- anese officers, Yosiyuki Itimiya and Okira Yamaki, because they were pro- te.eted by diplomatic immunity. In an earlier indictment Farns- worth, who was ousted from the serv- ice in 1927 for "scandalous conduct" was accused of delivering a confiden- tial naval publication to unnamed Japanese agents. Claiming that both Itimiya and Yamaki, had served as Japanese naval attaches at the embassy here, Beach said he believed they had left the United States "some time ago." Conspiracy Charge Made The jury charged that Farns- worth had "corruptly and feloniously conspired" with the two officers and other persons to turn over secret doc- uments, "with reason to believe" that they would be used "to the injury of the United States and the benefit of Japan." The indictment listed code and signal books, sketches, models, blue prints, maps, photographs, instru- ments and appliances as the "docu- ments" Farnsworth was accused of delivering. The conspiracy continued, the grand jury charged from Jan. 1, 1933, until a few days before Farnsworth's arrest last, month. Paid $500 Monthly Beach said Itimya had been ap- pointed naval attache in 1933 and that Yamaki had succeeded him in Nov., 1934. He added that he would try to prove at a federal district court trial in Oc- tober that Farnsworth was paid $500 a month during the period of the conspiracy, and that he also received "an entertainment fund and several bonuses." Evidence intended to show that Farnsworth met the attaches in the hope of a Japanese newspapers cor- respondent also will be presented at the trial, Beach said. He explained that the men used this house as "their customary rendezvous." Rome Prelates Say Cougllin Was Discussed VATICAN CITY, Aug. 11.-(P)- The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin's po- litical activities were discussed of- ficially by Pope Pius XI and Bishop Michael Gallagher of Detroit, Vatican prelates disclosed today, but were ex- plained satisfactorily. They disagreed with Bishop Gal- lagher's assertion that the matter had not been reviewed in high Vati- can circles. But they said the doughty, white-haired champion of Father Coughlin had "accomplished his mission." The bishop, Father Coughlin's ec- clesiastical superior, explained the radio priest's activities and his "priestly qualities," they said, to the Vatican secretariat and the state consistorial congregation-in a word, to the "Holy See" itself. The visit, they added, ended any possible doubt concerning Father Coughlin's political activities in the minds of Vatican officials and bore out Bishop Gallagher's insistence the matter warranted neither action nor censure by the Holy See. Fitzgerald Intalls First Civil Service Employes JACKSON, Aug. 11.-(P)--Gover- Germany And Japan Share Swim Honors Except For Diving Event, United States Fails To Take Firsts Japan Tops Record In 800-Meter Relay German Oarsmen Deal Out 'Bitter Medicine' To All Their Competitors BERLIN, Aug. 11.-(P)-With Ger- many and Japan sharing honors both in and on the water the United States, except for her divers, was relegated to the "also ran" class today as the 11th Olympiad approached the three- quarter mark. The lone bright spot, from the American standpoint, was the sweep of medals in the springboard diving championship with Dick Degener, Detroit; Marshall Wayne, Miami, and Al Greene, Chicago, finishing in that order and giving the United States her second straight diving blanket triumph. Degener finished third in the 1932 sweep. Japan Wins Relay Otherwise Uncle Sam's representa- tives got allwet taking the back- wash of their rivals. Despite Japan's triumph in the men's 800 meter relay final in world record-breaking time of eight minutes 51.5 seconds with the American quartet a distant second, the Nipponese and the Americans stood on even terms in the fight for the men's team swimming title with 25 points each as the result of the divers' exploits. Hideko Maehata gave Japan an- other swimming gold medal, captur- ing the 200 meter breast stroke championship after a spirited stretch duel with the German girl, Martha Genenger, who was beaten by a foot. The husky daughter of Nippon's time was 3:03.6-one and seven-tenths of a second slower than the new Olympic mark she set in the trials. Some distance away at Grunau, on the ruffled waters of "der Lange See," Germany's oarsmen dealt out bitter medicine to Americans, as well as other rivals. U. S. Last In Skulling The Teuton four-oared with Cox- swain Shell, defending the title won at Los Angeles four years ago, rowed the fastest heat, 6:41.1, in the trials while the best the American could could do in the same heat was tie Poland for fourth and last place. The German pair-oared without coxswain combihation likewise reg- istered the best time of the prelimi- naries, covering the 2,000 meters in 7:12.6. In this event the American duo finished last behind Hungary, Denmark and Uruguay in that order. The most disappointing develop- ment of all, however, was the per- formance turned in by Dan Barrow, Jr., of Philadelphia, national cham- pion, in finishing fifth and last in the single sculls trials. His heat was won by Germany's European champion, Gustav Schaefer, with Austria's Has- enoerl taking second, Canada's Charlie Campbell, third and Aus- tralia's Cecil Pearce, fourth. The winners of heats in the four and two-oared events qualified for Friday's finals and the single scull (Continued on Pae :' Ethel Barrymore Is To Quit Acting NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-(AP)-Ethel Barrymore, veteran' aartess and sis- ter of John and Lionel Barrymore of the movies, announced tonight her retirement from the stage. MissBarrymore made her an- nouncement in a radio broadcast ap- pearance with Ben Bernie, orchestra leader. She planned, she said, to retire to her home at Mamaroneck, N.

"I have made up my mind that I'm never going toappear in another play again," she said. "I live in the country and I never want to live any- where else."

Evelyn Cohen, the costumiere, who was most concerned about answering this riddle so that she might design the costumes appropriately, decided that it must have been 1870 accord- ing to the leap-year arrangement. "I preferred to date the costumes," Miss Cohen said. "I decided that it would be best to give them a certain amount of shape." Accordingly, when Miss Cohen toured to Detroit with her assistant, James V. Doll, having exhausted Ann.
