(A.P. By Guardian's Special Wire) MADRID, April 8—The heaviest
fighting in months broke out on
the outskirts of Madrid tonight.
Madlleuos, hardened as they are by the long siege, ‘IOISGOK their iato dinners and huddled in dark- ened doorways as they listened fcarfuily to the roar of artillery and the rattle of machine guns for an hour and a half.
Government military headquart- ers declared the Insurgents were beaten back with heavy losses us they attacked along the whole front from tho Carabanchcl region, just south oi‘ Mruirid, to University uty, the war-scarred district of north- western Madrid.
The fighting seemed to be in the war-scarred University City district on the norlhwestem cage of Ma- drid, or in the Carahanohel region to the south, or in both. It began at 8:30 p. m. and had sthrted to die down at l0 p. m.
The new battling around Ma- drid came just after the govern- mcni achieved a success in South- ern Spain with the union of two main columns some 70 mile! Iwflll of the highly important insurgent- held city of Seville.
CLOSE‘ GAP
The union of government force: north of- Seville was accomplished by troops driving west from the Cordoba province mining region to make contact with troops in neigh- boring Badajoz province and close a gap which had existed for many months.
The manoeuvre materially strengthened government positions in that section of the country 150 miles southwest of Madrid, where the struggle has been going on for months to control some of Spain's richest coal fields and mercury mines.

UITAWA. April 8 -- The House today marched toward a week-end prorogation but was checked, after pushing nine bills through third readings, by a vigorous and poten- tially lcng debate on proposals to increase the tariff on United States furniture.
Western Liberals rose against a budget resolution seeking to in- crease the tariff on American fur- niture from 27 i-2 to 33 per cent on recommendation of the Tariff Board which conducted a consider- able investigation into the industry. It was considered almost a cer- tahity that the debate would last long enough to carry the ‘ over till next week.

PRICE 0F FARM IMPLEMENTS Sill] T00 HIGH
Committee Reports Price Increase I11 January, 1936, Was Unjustified.
OTTAWA. price increases in farm imlflfimfi-‘nw
-in January 1936 were found’ un-
justified in the report of the House of Commons Committee which for the past two sessions has been studying this branch of industry. Chairman J. Fred Johnston (Ub- Lake Centre) today presented the Committee's report.
In the Committee’s opmion dis- tribution costs of the impement companies were too high, so also was the cost of credit to the far- mer. At the same time excessive profits had been made by the com- panics on the sale of replacement
arts
With regard to cream separators the Committee recommended they be placed on the free list, while, as a measure of assistance to Prairie farmers, freight rates on imple- ments should be reduced. '
36 Recommendations
Thirty-six findings and recom- mendatiors were appended to the report. Among these was one which ectimated at $230,000,000 the value of farm machinery which _. Canadian farmers at present need, but which for economic reasons they have been unable to purchase.
However, with prospect of in- PYPB-Wd prices for farm products the Committee saw possibility of greater purchasing power {faced in the hands of farmers. This was bound to reflect itself in increasing busness for the implement com. panics
The Committee believed the wmpfl-nies had been able to sworn most of the bad debts incurred during the depression. This as an item of cost, would disappear shortly and the benefit of its difiappegr- unce should be to lower the price of implements.
