(AP. By Guardian's Special Wire)

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5 — Presl- dent Roosevelt sslred the United States Congress today for record peacetime national defence appro- priations of $90,300,000 and simul- taneously began shaping a request for even greater funds.

While his annual budget message. asking nearly 51.000.000.000 for the army and navy in the 1939 fiscal year. was being rend tn the Senate Ifitl liouso of Representatives, he conferred at the White ilouse with legislators and naval officinls about. a special message asking a supple- mental outlay for a bigger navy.

Chairman Taylor (D-Coio) of the House Appropriations Commit- tee. one oi the confcrees, said the message would be dispatched "as soon as convenient."

The Presdenfls budget message advised Congress that "world con- ditions over which this nation has no oontroi" and "future events which today cannot definitely be foretold," might make it necessary for him to ask additional defence funds.

Hidden Government Batteries Rake Foes At Point Blank

Range.

(By Ignacio Barrsdo) (Copyright, i938. By The Haves News Agency)

WITH GOVERNMENT FORCES ON THE TERUEL FRONT. Jan. 5 --I-lugo Spanish Insurgent forces seeking to recapture Teruel faced disaster today as Government ar- t‘llery cut through communications west and north of the town with severe barrages.

Government forces today held mastery of the strategic Mueia de Teruel heights. dominating the city from the southwest. In the snow- bianketed Sierra Corbaian, about five miles north of the town. Gov- emment lines remained intact after violent Insurgent attacks were shat- tered by artillery. i

DEADLY FIGHTING

From a vantage point on the Cor- baian Heights this correspondent witnessed some of the deadliest fightng of the civil war, waged in knee-deep snow and fog at temper- atures hovering near zero.

Shortly before 8 a. m. yesterday the Insurgents attempted a. strong surprise attack against the ‘Cor- balan mountain positions.

From a hill position near Concud this correspondent witnessed the de- velopment of the attack and its dis- astrous culmination. The Insurgent Navarre and Tercio Brigades ad- vanced bravely through snow un- aware they were in the drect line of fire of heavy and light artillery hidden behind snowbamks.

HUMAN’ SLAUGHTER

It was about ti a. m. when they come within good firing range and the hidden artillery batteries open- ed up.

The effects were frightful. Shells cwploded in the Insurgent ranks, sending bodies flying skyward amid chunks of earth and clouds of snow. Relentiessiy the Government inten- sfied the barrages. Finely the In- surgents began to waver and full back, leaving the ground littered with dead.

Reinforcements hurried into the fray. but they were obliged to with- draw to the positions originally held by the Insurgents.
