It is also reported that other insurgents have erossed the Manzares River between Toledo and Sego- via bridges, occupying streets in the Yesertas District, but that they are advancing with the greatest caution, fearing traps.--Reuter.

Political Leaders Will

I

Tokyo, Nov. 9. Rapidly maturing military plans to introduce dictatorship, is welding the political parties of Japan into a united opposition front, according to reports.

The Army aims at controlling capital and industry and establishing a sort of military communism.

Mr. Chuji Machida, President of the Minseito, the largest political party in Japan, and Mr. Masazumi Ando, the Chief Secretary of the Seiyukai, the extreme Right party, both have delivered speeches denouncing Fascism and promising to uphold Parliamentarianism at all costs.

The military leaders disavow any intention of seeking a dictatorship like those in. Germany and Italy, but declare they desire the members of both Houses to be precluded from holding Cabinet portfolios in order to avoid unreasonable intervention in the administra-. tion of affairs.
