CLEVELAND, July 21.-(P)-Dr.
Francis E. Townsend staged another
"walk out" today but in an auto
chase a deputy sheriff brought him
back to resume a deposition hearing
about the Townsend old age pension
organization.
The pension leader walked out of a
hearing being conducted by Benjam-
in F: Sacharow, attorney. It was a
scene reminiscent of the day he ab-
ruptly left a hearing by a Congres-
sional committee investigating the
Townsend movement.
"It's none of your business," Dr.
Townsend replied to one of Sachar-
ow's questions. He picked up his notes
and abruptly departed.f
'Another Walkout,' Boys
"It's another walkout, boys," said
Sheridan" Downey, his counsel. To-
gether they left the hotel room in
which the hearing was conducted.
Dr. Townsend immediately an-
nounced he was leaving for Erie, Pa.,
to keep a speaking engagement.
Sacharow obtained a citation for con-
tempt of court from a notary public.s
Deputy Sheriff Joe Pdseday armed
himself with a body attachment.
Sacharow and the deputy, accom-
panied by Sacharow's brother, set out'
from the hotel in a taxicab, following'
Dr. Townsend's limousine.
They sped through side streets and
in East Cleveland headed off and
stopped Dr. Townsend's car on a
main route. With Dr. Townsend
were his wife and Harry Maines.
Have To Hurry
"We had to use plenty of speed to
head off Townsend's high powered
limousine," said Sacharow. He
charged Townsend was in flight.
The deputy escorted Dr. Townsend'
to common pleas court. There, the
doctor said "I am not at all dis-
pleased. It will probably resultdin
5,000 more clubs being organized the
country over. It is all very high-
handed, but since it is to my advant-
age, why should I care?"
Sacharow recited his story to Judge
Samuel E. Kramer. He had been
conducting the hearing in connection
with a suit by Dr. Alfred J. Wright,
reently removed as a regional
Townsend leader. The suit asked that
Dr Townsend and Trustees of Old
Age Revolving Pensions, Ltd., be oust-
ed, and that the court require an ac-
counting of more than $1,000,000 in
organization funds. Sacharow is
counsel for Wright.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-(IP)-An-t
xious for the safety of 1,582 Ameri-
cans in bloody Spain, the Unitedl
States government tonight directedj
two warships to move immediately in-
to Spanish waters to evacuate this
country's citizens if necessary.
The action was decided upon by
Secretary of State Hull after a'
lengthyrconference with Admiral Wil-
liam H. Standley, acting Secretary of
the Navy, who issued orders diverting
the two ships.
They are the battleship Oklahoma,
now at Cherbourg, France, as a unit
in the midshipmen's training squad-
ron, and the U. S. S. Quincy, the
navy's newest 10,000 ton cruiser, now
on a shakedown cruise to Europe.
The added safety measures were
decided upon despite diplomatic re-
ports pouring in upon the State De-
partment which carried no word of
any injury to Americans during the
recent days of strife.
The same reports, however, told of
a bloody battle yesterday between
government and rebel forces in front
of the American consulate at Vigo;
of the hoisting of American flags over
United States buildings in Madrid as
a safety measure; and of British war
vesselststanding by at two Spanish
ports to aid British and American
nationals if necessary. It was noted
also that some towns at which Amer-
icans are residing had not yet been
heard from in diplomatic dispatches.
It was presumed that the midship-
ien aboard the Oklahoma would be
transferred to the other two vessels

Actor-Director To Portray
Role In Galsworthy Play
Made Famous By Him
Whitford Kane, distinguished Eng-
lish actor who is guest director of the
Michigan Repertory Players, will
make his first appearance of the
summer in his most famous role,
Christopher Wellwyn, in John Gals-
worthy's "The Pigeon," which will
oen a four-day run at 8:30 p.m. to-
day at the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre.
The role of Wellwyn was written
especially for Mr. Kane after Gals-
worthy had seen his work as Roberts
in "Strife." He and Galsworthy be-
came the best of friends during the
first production of "The Pigeon" in
1910.
Still Has Original
Mr. Kane still has the origina
manuscript of the play, several pages
of which are now on display in the
theatre lobby. It was after this pro-
duction that the famous playwright
wrote to Mr. Kane, saying that hi
performance as Wellwyn in "Th
Pigeon" had been so excellent that h
had been quite spoiled for the idea o
anyone else in that part.
Mr. Kane has also 'been very activ
in the theatre in the United States
Among the many plays he has ap
peared in are "Prunella," "Trelawne

MADRID, July 22.-(Wednesday)
-(AP)-Unofficial estimates early to-
day placed the death toll in Spain's
bloody revolt at more than 900, as
the government claimed success
against rebels in important provincial
cities.
The greatest casualties were re-
ported in Barcelona, Spain's largest
city on the northeast coast where
500 were said to have been killed
and 3,000 wounded. Government ac-
counts said the city was in the hands
of loyal forces after bitter fighting.
In the capital itself, 300 more were
estimated to have been killed dur-
ing an uprising Monday. Most of
the victims were rebels.
Attempts by revels to land at Alge-
ciras, in the south, were said to have
brought death to at least 100.
VERA, Spain, July 2.-(A)-Vic-
torious rebel troops which set up mil-
itary headquarters in San Sebastian
were 'eported tonight to have occu-
pied most of Northern Spain.
Large forces of Communists and
Socialists, drafted as reinforcements
to loyal guards, failed to halt the in-
surgent march after the rebels pro-
claimed martial law in the Provinces
of Guipuzcoa and Navarre.
The rebels recruited young peas-
ants in the fields around Vera. From
San Sebastian the revolutionary ad-
vance continued toward Bilbao. In-
vaders and defenders clashed on the
front between Vera and Behobe,
IFrance.
Many rebels from Navarre Hill re-
gions declared they were Carlist Roy-'
alists who were issued arms by the
women of Pampgona while enthusi-
astic townspeople cheered the revel
drive.
Spanish frontier guards and cus-
tom agents quit their posts to help
fight off the rebels ,leaving the border
open to newspaper correspondents
who followed closely behind the in-
surgent forces.
A rebel colonel was found installed
in the mayor's office at Vera.
Routed Spanish officials fled in
terror to France. Jose Iratche, lead-
er of the popular front detachment
at Irun, rode through Hendaye,
l France, toward the interior without
s being stopped.
