Weymouth, Mass, Oct. 9.-(AP)-
Stirred by the Identification of Mrs.
Grace Asquith, 41-year-old widow, as
the woman whose severed legs were
hauled from Boston harbor four days
ago, detectives today held one man
for questioning and sought a miss
ing World War aviator.
While police grappled in the har-
Dor for the head and torso of the
victim, a woman's tip sent detectives
scurrying last night to a lonely cot
tage on the Weymouth shore, IL miles
from Boston.
There Mrs. Isabel Murphy, of Bos-

quith, who disappeared" September

She said the widow resembled the

Civil War Threaten

Paris, Oct 8 (AP) } French COM
munists openly defied government
efforts to restrict their meetings in
historic Alsace-Lorraine today.
Amid threats of virtual civil war
in the border provinces, the commun-
list party declared it was proceeding
with plans to hold widespread de-
monstrations there.
Fears of open strife Immediately
were current.
A party communique flatly repudi-
ated previous semi-official reports
to the effect only ten meetings would
be held in Alsace-Lorraine It stated
the original number planned-127-
had been reduced to Sc by regional or
CARNATIONS, not by the central COM
mittee.
Claiming $4,000 followers in the Dor
der provinces, the party asserted it
refused to curtail it's activities 'fbe-
cause such is the desire of Fascists
acting on orders from Berlin"
The abrupt party statement block
ed the efforts of Roger Salengro, min
lister of the interior, to reduce poten-
tial dangers of the weekend CAM

In the tense atmosphere of contin-

nations met secretly at London's for
eign office today to thresh out sharp
Russian and Spanish government
charges of t1oke pledges and Fascist
military aid to SPANS insurgents.
The basic problem before the group
and more particularly for England
in the role of Leace-maker-was how
TO stop an open rush by Fascist and
communist nations to aid opposing
belligerentS in Spain.
That might mean European war.
Soviet Russia, fatty accusing Ger
may, Italy and Portugal, wanted the
committee to send an investigating
committee to Portugal, alleged gate
way for arms shipments to Spanish
insurgents.
There were concrete evidences as
the gathering opened that Portugal
would not consent to an investigating
body.
On the military front Fascists
smashed through rugged terrain west
of Madrid in three powerful columns
to capture three strategic cities. Mad
rid hailed the prospect Of Russian
help and rejoiced at what appeared
to be almost complete victory for
loyal Asturian miners who long have
besieged the Fascist city of Oviedo in
