Embassy Reveals.
BY the Associated Press.

.
ROME, November 26.-Italians have
made two apologies to two American
physicians and their wives who said
they were menaced by a Fascist stu
dent mob in Padua last Saturday, 1t
was said at the American Embassy
today.
The embassy added, however, it still
may make representations to the Ital-
ion government regarding the incident
Flags Torn From Car.
The Americans-Dr. and Mrs. Fred
erick P. Moersch and DR.. and Mrs
]. L. Bollman of the Mayo Institute,
Rochester, Minn.-said the students
in the university town ripped Ameri-
can flags from their automobile. which
bore British license plate.
The prefect of Padua, the embassy
said, offered an apology to the Amer
ican consul, sent from Venice to in
vestigate. The prefect and other au-
thorities said the students who par
ticipated in the demonstration had
apologized on the spot, through an in
terpreter, to the Americans. Their
superior ordered the apology, it was
said
The apology was followed by the
students cries Of Long live Amer
ica!" according to report from the
Venice consul to Breckenridge Long
United States Ambassador.
Protests Considered.
The Ambassador is considering
whether the case should be presented
to the italian foreign Office.
Normally il such cases the embassy
would file a protest or make repre-
sentations to the government in the
expectation of bringing an apology
In this case the apologies were made
by the local authorities before repre-
sentations were made.
Nevertheless, it was said at the en-
bassy, ''it still may be necessary to
present the matter to the govern
ment."

English Source-League
Action Uncertain.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 26.-Hlgn
British quarters showed concern today
over what effect the League OF Ma
tons delay in action on oil sanctions
against Italy might have on public
opinion in the United States.
A British source made the terse OBJ
servation that the United States is
left holding the bag"
What action the League will take on
the project for shutting off oil from
Italy-as the United States has recon-
mended from both Italy and Ethiopia
still had not been determined.
Although American diplomatic and
trade officials were watching the stu
alton closely, it was authoritatively
stated that there had been no ex-
changes between the two governments.
Duce Seen Successful.
At the same time British sources
expressed suspicion that Premier Mus
solini of Italy had at last succeeded in
driving wedge between Premier Laval
Of France and Great Britain.
1t was officially stated in Whitehall
that "the British policy on oil sane
tions remains unchanged"
Pressed for a full definition and
Qualification of the policy, however,
officials refused to say whether Great
Britain would demand action at
Geneva as soon as Premier Laval's
status in the situation was cleared up.
1t was pointed out authoritatively
that Great Britain had agreed in prin-
ciple to the Canadian proposal that
oil should be added to the embargo
against-Italy list if the other nations
on the League Sanctions Committee
agree and if such sanctions could be
made effective.
Britain Has One Vote.
However, it was stated that such
action only could be taken at Geneva
and that Great Britain has only one
vote on the committee.
Although obviously worried by the
repercussions in the United States due
to the delay at Geneva, authorities
said no assurances had been conveyed
to the United States on the matter
and that the British regarded the delay
as only temporary.

Observers viewed the Nanking reso-

nominal-and simultaneously making
a harmless gesture against autonomy

Of WAR;DEATH
TOLL NOW 8
Ex-Mendieta Cabinet Chief
Arrested; Strike Snags
Peace; Guard Streets

HAVANA, March II G.N.S).
Two unidentified persons were
killed today in the suburb Of
Mariana as all Cuba labored un-
der a "state of war" decreed a
few hours earlier by President
Carlos Mendieta.
This brought the death toll in
the nationwide crisis to at least
eight. Scores were wounded, many
seriously.
Outwardly Quiet
The capital was outwardly calm
today, but intermittent shots and
bomb explosions rang through the
dark, deserted streets during the
night.
Two persons were wounded by
bombs and a two-year-old child
was badly hurt when a bus,
manned by soldiers, was fired on.
Scores were added to the hun
dreds already under arrest.
Only troop trains wer? running
on the railways, and street cars,
buses and taxicabs, heavily
guarded by police or soldiers,
rolled through the streets only
at wide intervals.
Soldiers, sailors and policemen,
armed with rifles, vigorously en-
forced Military Governor Pc
draza's decree forbidding the con-
gregation of more than two per-
sons in public.
Meanwhile, the central strike
committee, bending all its efforts
towards completing the general
strike, had plastered Havana with
posters calling on all workers to
walkout today.
Officials Arrested
The unions, however, had the
opposition of business and in
dustrial men, who called on
President Carlos Mendieta, offer
ing their support.
PRESIDENT Mendleta, against
whom the strike is aimed, re-
iterated the governments de-
termination to suppress the walk
out, calling it movement
against the wealth, peace. and
integrity of the Cuban family,
not inspired by honest motives"
Rodolfo Mendes Penate, for
mer secretary of labor in Presi-
dent Mendieta's cabinet, and
Arrange Herrero, director of the
national lottery, were among
those arrested.
Rumors that numerous soldiers
and students had been killed in
fighting during the night could
not be confirmed.
