Insurgents Bent On Recapturing S t r a- tegic City. ~

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

IIENDAYE. France, Jan. 21- Thc lnaurgent army drove down the banks of the Alfambra River toward Government-held Teruel

today in a renewed offensive of Spain's civil war. Military advices said General

Franco's forces were staking every- thing on recapture of the city. The battle was described as equall- Ing many of those of the Great War.

Teruel, strategic provincial cap- ltal wrestcd from thc insurgents by Government troops in a sur- prise attack a month ago, was rc- pcrted under fire of insurgent

I15.

Insurgent advices said Franco's troops were cleaning up river posi- tlons north of Teruel where the Government fighters had been strongly entrenched. '

Government counter-attacks were reported repulsed.

The major operations at Teruel. 100 miles east of Madrid, over- shadowed. activity elsewhere. There appeared to be a lull in aerial forays by the insurgents on coastal cities of eastern Spain.

LONDON, Jan. 2l-—Great Brit- ain today instructed its Amrbaaca dor to Tokyo to find out if Jap- an was secretly building battle- ships of more than 35.000 tons.

Conservatives R a I ly To Support 0f Pop- ular Front -— Social Reforms Pledged.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

PARIS, Jan. 21—Conservatives united with the Popular Front parties in the Chamber of Depu- ties today to give the new Radical- Socialist Government of Premier Camille Chautempe its first pledge of confidence by a. vote of 501 to 1. .

The vote came after the Prem- ier announced a drastic reorgan- ization of France's national de- fence and pledged his new Gov- ernment" to defend the franc and carry out the Popular Front pro- gram of social refonn.

The deplfizs shouted approval as Chautenips read his Cabinet's declaration of policy and asked the formal vote of confidence.

Conservatives as well as Social- ists and Communists made no promises. however, Ilia? their sup- port would continue.

Chauiemps himseT-said he ac- onpted the possibility that his gov- ernment might be only a “transi- tion ministry.“

The four moderate Conservative HD1105 Supporting the ne-w gav- ernment‘ were the Democratic Lei t. Democratic Alliance, Popular Democrats and Popular Action.

The only dissenfng vote was cast by Gaston Bergery, Indepen- dent Leftlst leader.

The ministerial declaration of policy also drew majority applause in the Senate where It was read by Edouard Dalaciier, vice-premier and defence minister.

Before the Government canted its program to parliament, all army, navy and air forces were centralized under Daladier.

The ministerial dedaration ask- ed for “an atmosphere of indus- try, voluntary ‘discipline and civic accord" to end the lab-or. financial "nd diplomatic troubles which brought tihe downfall of fliau- temps‘ previous government a week ago today.

After five days of crisis, Chau- tomps reformed his Government Tuesday, excluding Communists and Socialists, the IIWO parties which with the Radical-Socialists had fonned the Popular Fran-t. coalition that ruled France from June 4. 1930 until last Friday.

"We call on all the nation at once to take cognizance of the too real perils which menace it." the ministers declared, “and to feel the invincible force it possesses t0 overcome them."

Specfiically, the Chautemps Gov- ernment pledged: '

!. A foreign policy ‘based on fidelity to the League of Nations" as the "best guarantee of the peaw of the worldf’

2. A national defence policy "faithful to the common ideals which bind ft to the great demo- oracles," particularly Great Brit- sin;

3. Social reforms as outlined by the Popular Front which would "assure respect for the legitimate authority of the employers and the right of the worker to the

security and dignity of his work,

and which will permit just arbi- tration of inevitable labor con- flicts and the peaceful settlement of strikes?’

4. A financial policy based on a balanced budget and "energetic defence of the national currency”

through the tri-partito accord: Mth Greet Britain and the Uni- ted States.

The extent of the Government's financial worries was shown by a stiatetment in banking quarters that the fund to maintain the franc. originally 10,000,000 francs, was

foes will be increased 50 cents to $2.50 for the fiscal year starting April 1, it was announced tonight by Transport Minister Howe.

The new regulations also provide that a separate license wi‘l be re- quired for each receiving set, the present arrangement permttlng a license to cover a house and a car radio, being cancelled.

The license increase will repre- sent a net revenue of $650,000 a year to the Ca-iiarlian Boardcasting Corporation, boosting to $2,575,000 its income from this source.

The uiiuistcr said the increased revenue “is required to enable CBC to carry out its program of ex- pauson, particularly in the direc- tion of better programs and more complete coverage."

The Corporation, Mr. Howe said. had improved its services during the year "sufficient to indicate that further worth-while better- ments, made possible by increased revenue, will fully justify the new regulations." ,

Urrre Extension Of Hospitaljgation

OTTAWA, Jan. 21- (CP) —The Canadian Hospital Council today laid before thc Rowell Commission a brief in which it asked that the state make provision for financial assistance to cover extension of hospitalization services.

The brief asked that relief hos- pitalization be extended not only to indigents but also to transients, immigrants with less than three years‘ residence in Canadmold-age pensioners and their dependents. “burnt-out" pensioners, recipients of mothers’ allowances, tho blind and to all groups concerning which. responsibility for payment of hos- pital care is either not clear or not provided for.

Such relief should be adjusted so that a direct grant. equivalent to public ward charge, be made to the hospital caring for the patient.

In the event that unemployment insurance and relief should be- come federal responsibilities, the Council urged that hospital medi- cal care be included under its pro- visions.

Urge Broader Powers For Ii o m i n i o n

By cam. RIEINKE Canadian Press Stafl Writer OTTAWA, Jan. 2l—-Broadeni!'l8 of Dominion powers ovcr social and labor legislation, to give Par- liament complete legislative and administrative authority in those fields. was recommended to the Powell Commission today by the

Trades and Labor Cougres of Canada. To provide increased revenue

required by that added responsi- bility, the Congress suggested in- come and inheritance taxes should be made federal.

"A unified plan of social and labor legislation if adopted by the Parliament of Canada would bring new hope to our less fortunate citizens.“ said P. M. Draper, Con- gress president.

“It would improve employer- cmployee relations _in the interests of thc public and of industry and its employees. It. would equalize competition and taxation interim!- vincially and in general it would follow the world tendency of ad- vancing the welfare of the masses in proportion to the increased pro- duction of workers in a. machine age."

The Congress, speaking for its 100,000 members and 36.000 mem- bers of international railroad bro- therhoods, proposed that Canada should have power amend its own constitution but that amendments should be neither too easy nor tou difficult and that minority rights should be fully protected. It urged periodic examinations of Domin- ion-Iprovincfal relations.

Proposed Plan Would Re - establish T h e Single Protestant Church.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON, Jan. 2l-A uuitcci Church of England, embracing Anglicans and non-conformisls, is envisaged in a draft plan made public tonight.

The reunion plan was drawn up by a joint conference of represen-

tatives of the Church of England 1 of the >

and the Federal Council Evangelical Free Churches (rep- resenting Methodists. Presbyterians, Baptists and others.»

It foresees a church in which the various bodies might "find themsleves united, without loss of what ls especially valuable in their distinctive traditions."

Resolutions commending the plan to the attention of church- men were passed yesterday and to- day by both houses of the cou-

vocation of Canterbury and by the Free Church Council.

Keen controversy Ls expected over the plan. Such a reunited church would have a combined active membership of more than

7.000.000.

The Church resulting, {r3111 the union would reestablish the single Protestant Church of England as

it was before the non-conforming ,

denominations broke away from it, in the 17th century and later.

The draft plan stated that the United Church would have {ree- dom from the control of any secular authority in its spiritual actions and deciticus, but added that this does not exclude some form of state recognition of the church as an expression of the nation's religious allegiance.

The plan suggests priests and ministers in charge of congre-

yfationa be known as "presbytcrs,"

that bishops who assent to union accept office as bishops of the United Church and that Presby- ters of all uniting churches may be consecrated a. bishops.

A “college of bishops" represent- ing the constituent churches was proposed for each diocese during the_initial stages of reunion.

It further was proposed that An- glicans should not inust on adop- tion of the sign of the cross at baptism, the wearing of surprces and kneeling to receive commun- ion.

Non-confonnists in return should "let bywncs be bygones" on the subject of episccpacy (government of the church by bihops), rlogod abuses of which led them to dis- sent from the Church of England, the plan suggested.
