Madrid, March 25, lUP) Mortar and gunfire shattered a fortnight of silence along the front in Uni¬ versity {.'ity late tonight, awaken¬ ing the sleeping capital which had hoped to see the end of thc .Spanish civil war wilhin a few hours.
There was no explanation for the firing in the University City sector, which is the oldest of the Madrid fronts.
Meanwhile all members of the Loyalist national defense council dined tonight with two "distin¬ guished guests from abroad." Their identity was nol revealed. Rumors Fill Capital
Earlier Jose Conicz Osorio, civil governor of Madrid said thsl Loyalist .Spain wants peace "bul not sny sort of peace."
Wild rumors filled the lapital. No one except those actually nego¬ tiating peace knew how or when it would occur.
Commenting on Ihe many rumors, Osorio ssid the "actual facts con- Irsdict everything contained in these reports."
"I expect to continue at my post tomorrow and also to be in this olflce Monday," he said. "We all desire peace but not any sort of r>*»rf. We want the honorable and worihy peace which the defense council advocated. Impatient people stste that peace is an accomplished fact withoul meditating."
The nationalists repeatedly an¬ nounced by radio that food con¬ voys were outside the city only awsiting the moment to enter and feed hungry thousands. The Mad- rllenos, who have endured so murh In this civil wsr, listened tn the broadcasts contrasting the prom¬ ised abundance with the few len¬ tils and beans available to them.
Hear.ses passed through the citv ill day and night accentuating the zhnstllness of the once gay capi¬ tal In which hotels are now wlth- nut service, cafes and bars without drink' and yet  sll remain open.
Looking back on their hard ¦ilrugsle the general opinion of the Msdrilenos seems to be one of re- ir.'t that it hss come to this, mingled with thankfulness that it is all over.
"H«"y Days" More
Rome,  March  2fi.    Sunday    lUP)
A Burgos dispatch to the news¬ paper Mesagcros stated today that the fall of Madrid is not expected for "many days" and that "inter¬ vention of arms appears neces- nsry."
The dispatch pointed out that rumors the capital soon would sur¬ render continued lo circulate but were impossible of confirmation. Oencral Francisco Franco, it said, 'till demands unconditional surren¬ der.
The newspaper reiterated that Nationalist troopa were ready to attack Madrid.

EFFORT 10 CHANGE LABOR ACIIHREAI 10 CIO-AFL PEACE
Manufacturers also Seek to Eliminate 'One-Sided' Methods
Washington, March 25. (UP) - N'ew demands of the American Federation of Labor anri .N'ational A.ssociation of Manufacturers for Immediate congressional action on Wagner Act amendments tonight threatened to wreck President Roosevelt's atlempt lo reunite the AFL and Congress of Indu.strial Organizations.
AP'L President William Green charged that Ihe CIO and the Na¬ tional Labor Relations board were "working oul the destruction of the AFL." He appealed lo dissident AFL unions for supporl in seeking major changes in the act. Would Curb ImUot Powers
The National Association of Manufacturers simultaneously call¬ ed for action on amendnienis which would curb certain powers now ex¬ ercised by organized labor. The .NAM said that "the demands for amendments al the presenl session lo correct thc obviously one-sided and prejudiced operation of the Wagner Labor Relations Act has now reached the proportions of a nation-wide public clamor which no fair minded person can any longer ignore."
CIO peace committee member Philip Murray declared, however, "that hearings at this lime would definitely hamper whatever chances there are lo work out a solution lo the CIO-AFL controver.sy."
The CIO. which opposes both thc .\FL and .NAM proposed amend¬ ments, was understood to feel Ihat "it cannot co-operate In seeking peace with the AFL with on hand, and fight against amendments they propose to the Wagner Act with the other." Hope for (lariflcation
The AFL executive council re¬ torted that it believed immediate hearings in Congress would "tend largely to clarify the present situa¬ tion and aid rather than injure cur¬ rent negotiations for an adjustment of exi-itiuc differences.'
An NAM pamphlet declared that "there can bc no permanent solu¬ tion of labor problems so long as the lav,- places restraints upon one party lo thc employer-employee re¬ lationship, but leaves the other partv  free  of all restraint."
It was believed that the AFL and CIO would present a solid front In fighting thc NAM proposals, al¬ lhough they differ on many other NLRB questions.

Washington, March 25, (UP) - Chairman Robert L. Doughton, D„ N. C, of the Hou.sc ways and means committee charged tonight that Re¬ publicans are playing "political football" with administration pro¬ posals for revision of the social security  program  to  aid  business.
Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau's proposal to place old age assistance plans on a "pay-as- you-go" basis and freeze payroll taxes at their present one per cent level as a measure for business re¬ covery, won support from the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, spokesman for big business. A special committee on the chamber, however, said that a "deci.'sion on whether or nol under the pay-as-you-go system there will be a need of advance in the tax rate from one per cenl to one and one-half per cent on January 1, 1940, should be postponed until dala necessary for a conclusion can be reached." Woilld  Postpone  Increases
Morgenthau, testifying before Doughton's committee, suggested that the scheduled increases in the payroll taxes might be postponed until 194.1 to give business a breath¬ ing spell. In line with this sug¬ gestion, he proposed that thc so- called "full reserve" which eventu¬ ally might total $47,000,000,000 be abandoned for a contingency re¬ serve of $2.,^00,000,000 (B» lo $3,000,- 000,000 (B» and the system be placed on the pay-as-you-go plan.
The proposals, however, devel¬ oped political connotations. Dough¬ ton, who will confer with President Roosevelt Monday or Tuesday on the suggested revisions, was in¬ censed al a statement signed by Republican members of hi.s com¬ mitlec. asserting Ihe proposal "is in (Continued on  Page A-18)
Tokyo, March 25 (UP) Premier Baron Kiichiro Hiranuma advised Emperor Hirohito tonight that a bitter conflict over adherence to a military alliance wilh Germany and Japan threatened a new Japanese cabinet crisis.
Coincident wilh the closing par¬ liamentary ceremonies, an influen¬ tial military bloc in the govern¬ ment, along with 106 members of parliament and part of the Tokyo press, urged conversion of the Jap- anesc-Germany-Italian anti-Com¬ munist treaty into a broad military pact intended as a reply to the efforls of the democratic powers to form a united front. The three totalitarian nations have probably 3,500,000 men under arms at pres¬ ent, j Alliance Oppocsed
A majority of the cabinet mem¬ bers were understood to be opposed lo entering the military alliance until all hope was lost of recon¬ ciling the western democracies, especially Great Britain and the United States, to acceptance of Japanese hegemony In East Asia on Japan's tenns.
Advocates of drastic action, in¬ cluding part of the general slaff, appeared however to be gaining ground.
(Hungary also is an adherent to the anti-Communist pact snd diplomats in London reported that Nationalist Gen. Francisco Franco in Spain had agreed to join the alliance soon, allhough his adherence may be kept se¬ cret for the time being, Lon¬ don press reports also said that Japan planned to offer to re¬ turn the mandated Caroline Islands lo Germany as a "ges¬ ture of good will and an ex¬ ample" to olher nations from which the Reich hopes to re¬ gain   pre-war  colonies.)
The minor parlies in the Diet presented a memorandum la Hira¬ numa urging him lo conclude the military alliance wilh Germany and Italy "against Britain and France which are obstructing Japan's sa¬ cred aim.s" in China. Permission to introduce a resolution to the same effect in parliament was re¬ fused. Thc signers included 106 out of 466 members of the diet. Financial Aid Needed
Allhougii the majority of min¬ isters was reluctant to go ahead, it was understood that they do nol want to lurn down the proposition in the present circumstances. One of the main factors involved is the necessity of obtaining financial aid for recon.slriiction in China, which would be most likely lo come from Great Britain if that nation can be   reconciled  lo  Japan's   conquest.
Arita also was urging that a mil- itar.v alliance be proposed that would be applicable only against .Soviet Russia, but it wa,s believed that would be turned down by Germany, which wants to assure the support of the Japanese navy against  Britain  in  event of wsr,
Arita is working for some sign that Britain and the United States will take a more favorable attitude toward Japan's dominance In China but so far has received no en¬ couragement, which Is one of the chief factors pressing Japan to¬ ward closer ties wllh the totalitar- ians,
,Iapan Is willing to icn|icii Ibe Yangtse    River    to    British    snd

Reports from Paris, however, in¬ dicated Premier Neville Chamber¬ lain mipht try to soften this blow to the French by endeavoring to introduce "obligatory national ser¬ vice" as a vague fnrm of disguised militar.v conscription.
The British cabinet reportedly decided it would be impossible to adopt naiional conscription without dissolution of Parliament and gen¬ eral elections. Dissension Feared
The cabinet, in view of thc op- position of labor and trade union leaders, could only reconfirm this decision when the premier consult¬ ed It after receiving French and Polish recommendations that Eng¬ land act without delay to augment the country's armed  forces.
Chamberlain took the matter to his cabinet for final decision. The majority of his colleagues agreed it would be unwise to act without the country's approval. Likewise il was decided imprudent to take the Issue to thc electorate because it would cause  Internal  dissension  in
