SpQin Bans
Education
By Nuns

MADRID, May 18 U.NS0.-
More than 100000 Spanish Chill
dren today faced deprivation of a
Catholic education following pas
sage by the Cortes of a measure
prohibiting monks and nuns from
engaging in teaching activities.
BY an overwhelming vote, 278
to so, Republicans in the legisla-
ture gagged all opposition to force
through their program embodying
restrictions of church activity.
The 10000 monks and nuns will
be ouSted as teachers before the
end of this year.
Property and treasures of the
church, valued at $50O,0O0, 900, are
seized by the government under
the measure, which claps a ban
on religious orders by forbidding
them to function.
AS for monks and nuns, they
are left without lawful religious
activity. The government plans to
take measures aiding them to re-
nounce their VOWS.
Leaving no chance for evasion,
the new bill is far more sweeping
than steps taken for limitation of
the church under the monarchy,
which had given official sanction
Ito but three religious orders.

If your brother were Secretary

dismissal to save the Government
money, what would you do about
it?
That's the problem facing John
M. Roper, engineering craftsman
in the Bureau of AeronauticS,
Navy Department, today and
strangely enough he isn't going
to do anything about it.
Roper is half-brother to Dan
iel C. Roper, Secretary of Com

with Mr.. and Mrs. Emery j.
Thompson in the 5000 block of
Fourteenth st. N. w.
Along with other Navy Depart
ment civilian employees being
given hearings by o. C. Murray,

Roper yesterday was given an
opportunity to protest against
his dismissal. but declined to do
so, saying:
Naturally 1 don't like to
lose my present position, but
if I am one of those chosen to
go, I won't complain. 1 will
get along somehow"
Roper'S dismissal is one Of ap-

SIN O-JAPANESE
TRUCE NEAR

SHANGHAI, May 18.-Ground-
work has been laid for an armis-
tice in the Sino-Japanese con-
flict, in which the Peiping-T -Tient-
sin area Of China is now threat
ened by Japanese forces, accord
ing to reports here today.
Recommendations to both gov
ernments for an end Of the fight
ing, it was stated, have followed
informal conferences between rep
reseatatives of the embattled ma
tionS.
These reports, closely following
the mission of General Hwang
Flu to North China, have strength
ened the belief the hostilities may
soon come to an end.
Under the tentative peace terms
now being considered, it is under
stood, China would promise to
keep her troops south of the
Ivan River, while Japan would
withdraw hers north of the Great
Wall.
In some circles, however, it is
believed that General Hwang's
arrival in the north was too long
delayed. yand that all efforts to
halt thef Japanese Manchukuo ad-
vance will be fruitleSs.

The utilities and the rails domi-

900 Landed From Trinidad in
Santa Clara Province,
Attack Two Towns

HAVANA, May 18 (via tel
ephone to New York;,
(I.N.S.) 1.-THE most serious
revolutionary movement since
the Inauguration Of the Ma
chado regime broke out today
in Santa Clara province.
An insurgent force estimated to
number between 900 and 1000
men landed on the south coast
from Trinidad and were imme.
diately joined by other insurrec-
tionary bands. Between rs and
100 men have been killed in the
preliminary skirmishes.
Attack Immediately
The rebels Immediately attacked
the towns of Sancti Spiritus,
where insurgents were active ear
lier in the week, and Moron, as
we'll as the town of Ell Acuepagos.
Col. Arsenic Ortiz, commanding
Federal forces in Santa Clara
province, stronghold of the revo-
lutionary movement, telegraphed
to Havana for reinforcements.
Troops were rushed to the
scene under command of Col.
AraSmo Delgado.
"Take No Prisoners"
Ortiz is stationed in Sancti Spir-
titus with 400 men. His original
instructions from President Ge-
rardo Machado were to take no
prisoners.
Meanwhile, a member Of the
Cuban secret police named Bal
was fired on while driving
in Central Park here. Unidenti-
fled assailants poured a hail Of
shotgun slugs into his car. Bal
escaped uninjured, but
two passersby were wounded.
Desertions were reported occur
ring at a rate which seriously
alarmed military authorities. More
than 100 Federal soldiers in Santa
Clara were reported to have gone
over to the rebel side.
Reports from hospitals where
wounded and dying federal soldiers
we're taken indicated the insur-
gents were resorting to the use of
poison bullets.

veterans were entertained by a

The wide open breach between
the two factions came yesterday
after the convention had voted for
all three planks of the conVen-
tion's platform.
The first point calls for
immediate cash payment of the
soldiers bonus, the second for
restoration Of privileges curtailed
under the economy program, and
the third for immediate relief for
farmers and the unemployed.
Right Wing Voted Down
The fright wing" veterans
opposed the last named plank but
were voted down by the larger
group amid terrific disorder that
was followed by a stampede Of
the men.

Douglas Offers Four Taxation Programs

World opinion today COM
mended Chancellor Adolf Hitler
of Germany for his speech in be-
half of peace and equality before
the Reichstag yesterday.
Only a few notes Of SkepticiSm
crept in as government spokeSmen
and newspapers in the capitals OF
Europe discussed his proposals.
The Italian press hailed the ad-
dress as "unequivocal proof" that
European peace, will be main
tanned.
In London, where the stock mar
ket reacted favorably as result
Of the address, newspapers pre-
dicted the speech would create a
"better atmosphere" at Geneva.
Some sections of the French
press saw an attempt to shift the
blame to France in the event the
disarmament conference fails.
Meanwhile, International News
Service learned in Paris that Nor
man H. Davis, special American
ambassador, would announce
willingness to cooperate
in an all-embracing consultative
pact when the disarmament con-
ference reaSSembles tomorrow, and
also to waive neutrality rights in
bringing an aggressor nation to
terms.

Davis to Tell Arms Farley of
Roosevelt Idea for Peace
and Armament Cuts

PARIS, May IS (I.N.S.).
The United States is agree
able to a consultative pact
embraced by all countries,
Norman H. Davis, American
ambassador r-at-large, will tell
the Disarmament Conference
when it re-assembles tomor-
row, International News Ser
vice learned today.
Davis will leave for Geneva
tonight to be present at the re-
convening of the full conference,
at which he is scheduled to be
third speaker.
Unanimity Insisted Upon
While Davis worked hard to
complete the text Of the speech
he will make before the confer
ence, it became known that, un-
der the consultative pact to be
outlined by Davis, if a nation is
branded an aggresSor by unar1i'
nous decision of other nations,
the United States will be willing
to forego the neutrality rights
Of her citizens.
The pact will further state that
action against an aggreSsor ma
ton, under the pact, could be
either economic or military, but
the United States will insist upon
an agreement beforehand, because
decisions relative to an aggressor
will have to be unanimous rather
than by a majority.
Virtual Boycott
Waving of neutrality rights
by the United States would vir-
tually amount to an economic
boycott of an aggreSsor nation,
inaSmuch as this country would
cease to protect Americans who
traded with the aggreSsor.
Members of the American
floating embassy, headed by
Davis, pointed out that the pro-
posed consultative pact would
merely legalize and summarize
what is already in effect by vir-
tue of international treaties, and
that it has already been utilized
by the United States in the Japa-
neSe crisis.
Commenting on the pact, a
spokesman for the French For
ei,yn Office indicated France
would be more satisfied if it's
terms were more sweeping. He
said:
"While France is pleased
with the consultative pact, the
question is whether it would go
far enough"
