PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1937 Madrid Attacks ' News of The World As Illustrated Iu Associated Press Pictures From Air Aret1 Made In Fleets Y 'Dog-Fights' Which Were Feature In Last War Are Gone Forever MADRID, Aug. 9.-(R)-You can't name a hero on the fast-flying loy- alist air force. For one thing, the government scrupulously guards the names of its flyers, many of whom are still in their teens. For another, air battles no more are the glorious affrays of the World War, when a Rickenbacker or a Rich- thofen could single out an enemy and send him crashing to the ground. As seen from Madrid, they re- semble naval combats. Squadrons of from half a dozen to as many as 50 planes go against enemy squad- rons. They maneuver for position. When a ship is brought down it is not so much the prowess of the individual pilots as the swift intervention of other planes at the right moment. But although residents of this be- sieged city have no air heroes, they have formed attachments for planes. Having stood open-mouthed watch- ing, time after time, that most thrill- ing spectacle of modern warfare, an air battle,stheyshave become acutely plane-conscious. In Madrid, the populace has given pet names to air battleships. Their favorite is a snub-nosed, fast fighter with retracable landing gear. What makes it a favorite is the fact that the daily bombing of the capital in the dark days of last Nove ber ended abruptly when this snub-nosed bird first appeared. The Spaniards immediately dubbed it a "chato." That's Spanish for any snub-nosed thing. Chatos are made under American patents. So is the next in rank, the "1mosca." "Mosca" means "fly." Any- one who has seen these tiny, speedy craft in 'action, buzzing around an- noying the enemy until the more deadly chatos can get into action will know they are well named. So popular have the pet names be- come that even official government bulletins use the terms freely. Inquiry Being. Made Into Sale Of Yearbooks Snell Terms Letter From Attorney General 'Inane' And Asks Investigation WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.--()-Rep. Snell (Rep., :N.Y.) made public today what he termed an "inane" letter from Attorney-General Cummings stating that the Justice Department is "making an inquiry" into the sale of Democratic yearbooks autographed by President Roosevelt. Snell ,who is demanding a con-' gressional investigation, had asked Cummings for an opinion as to the legality of the sales. The New Yorker contended the books were sold to corporations for $250 each in viola- tionrof the law governing campaign contributions. "As you are aware, under existing statutes, the Attorney General is per- mitted to render opinions only to the President and to heads of the executive departments of the govern- ment," Cummings wrote. "However, you are informed that the depart- ment is making an inquiry with re- spect to this matter." Calling the letter "inane in every respect," Snell said it "doesn't mean anything." He asserted, however, he would continue to press for the congres- sional investigation. The House Rules Committee, to which his resolution was referred, is to hold a hearing on the measure Thursday morning. Snell expressed doubt, however, that it would recom- mend the inquiry. How To Teach Science, Subject Of Curtis Talk In the teaching of science, nothing has been taught if the student just learns facts, Prof. Francis D. Curtis of the education school yesterday told a group in the auditorium of the University high school. "There are three things to teach in science instruction," he said, "prin- ciples of science, methods of science and attitudes of science." Prof essor Curtis pointed out that "The skillful teacher makes tonight's hnmewomdr vner tora's work in StudentForesters Punish Four Practical Jokers In Mock 'Trial BEECHWOOD .Aug. 9.-(Special to sides he wears short pants to the The Daily) -Four would-be prac- dances."

Two Ansaldo Brothers Famous As Flyers In Spanish Conflict By CHARLES S. FOLTZ WITH THE NATIONALISTS IN SPAIN, Aug. 9.-(A)--The flying An- saldo brothers are as famed on the nationalist side of Spain's war as the Dean brothers are in American base- ball. Juan Ansaldo, slim and dark- haired, is the family's "Dizzy" Dean, the flyer about whom a host of leg- ends have been told. Brother Pablo is more quiet, but his flying prowess is none the less famed. There's a third brother, but he's on the government side so Fran- co's followers have little to say about him. But the brothers are not all. There is a host of relatives, all bearing the name Ansaldo, who have become fly- ers. "The air practically belongs to the Ansaldos," Juan is quoted as saying. The Babe Ruth of the nationalist air force is Lieutenant Pombo, who flew to Mexico for a girl and married her. Now he is a proud father fighting in Franco's air fleet. Pombo's part in the war has not been spectacular, however. Juan Ansaldo's latest stunt gave his mechanic, a portly and long-suf- fering sergeant named Jiminez, a bad case of jitters. On June 7 flyers at the Vitoria airport were informed that land troops had captured the International airfield northeast of Bilbao and were ordered to proceed there in the morn- ing. There was a race for the honor of being the first to land. Of 12 Spanish pilots in the race five were Ansaldos. Juan got there first and landed. A THOROUGHBRED will carry more weight fur- ther and faster than an ordinary horse. All blooded race horses trace their descent from three Arabian Studs, Byerly Turk, Darly Arabian, and Godolphin Barb. Crossed with English mares these stallions produced horses vastly superior to FROM THESE THREE STALLIONS originated the superb racing strains of Eclipse, Herod and Matchem, known wherever men discuss fine horses. Strange to say, the Thoroughbreds thus developed proved far fleeter than the horses by whom they were sired, and today it is common knowledge that a medium Thoroughbred will any before known. The strain proved so fine h iii 1 Buy Shoes This Week at that it was kept carefully intact and resulted in the fleet Thoroughbred. OF THESE THREE HORSES, perhaps, the history of Godolphin Barb is the most romantic. Dis- covered in 1728 hitched to a hackney cab on the streets of Paris, he was purchased by an English- man, Mr. Coke, and given by him as a present to a friend, Mr. Williams, who in turn presented the stallion to the Earl of Godolphin.
