nounced Britain is willing to i'm
pose an embargo on shipments
of arms and civil airplanes to
Spain provided the nations Of
Europe reach an agreement for
non-intervention in the Spanish
conflict, as proposed by France.
The British Foreign Office an
nounced the government had
reached full agreement with
France on the text of French pro.
posals to prohibit export Of arms
to Spain.
The ban will become effective
as soon as Italy, Portugal, Ger
many and Russia assent, it was
announced.
Despite the Governments state
ment regarding civil planes. In
ternational News Service learned
definitely that three De Haviland
Dragon type machines left Croy-
don airport today for Barcelona.
Air Dispatch. Ltd, late owners
of the planes, said they had been
sold to a Barcelona company and
were not piloted by Air Dispatch's
pilots.
Four FOkkers Sold
Four Fokker airplaneS left Cat
wick airport, piloted by aviatorS
with foreign names. The air COM
pany said these planes were in
tended for Poland, and denied
they had been sold to either side
in Spain.
The communique stated:
"It should be realized that
maintenance of . strict, i'm.
partial attitude of nOn-inter-
ventiOn is essential If the un-
happy events in Spain are to
be prevented from having seri-
Gus repercuSSiOns elsewhere.
British subjects who assist
either side are not only run
ming grave risks for them
selves, but are rendering it more
difficult to arrive at the pro-
posed non-interventiOn agree
ment.
"They must not expect to re-
ceive any assistance or support
whatever in the difficulties
which they may meet in such
enterprises which run counter
to the objects which His Maj
esty'S government is seeking to
obtain"
WILL PREVENT SALES
Britain, it was added, will also
take "every measure open" to the
government to prevent this coun-
try from supplying civil aircraft
to Spain.
"a dispatch from Edward Hun
ter, International News Service
correspondent at Tardienta, Spain,
today stated that a number of Eng
lishmen, including two young Lon

Merida, which rebels captured
Thursday, was reported to have
been heavily damaged during to-
days fighting, particularly as a
result of the aerial bombardment.
It is a town of about 10000

The Northern insurgents were
advancing from Plasencia, in
Caceres province, and the Southern

Both were moving in an area close
to the friendly Portuguese border.

Heavy flying clothing is definite ly handicap. Captain Armstrong said and protests the flyer only from freezing temperature down to about 10 degrees above zero. Most pilots lose some degree of confi- dence while wearing winter flying clothing, being conscious of the fact that they are not then so able to control the airplane, operate equip ment. or bail out in an emergency.
 NetD Planes Covered
 In contrast, it was recalled that on the first flight of Admiral Rich ard E. Byrd's party over the south pole the group wore comparatively light clothing in their cabin plane and Pilot Bernt Balchen flew the ship without gloves or mittens
 Many planes purchased by both the Army and Navy recently have retained the old open-cockpit con- struction, but the new high speed heavy bombers and many observa- ton ships are cabin type or are constructed with transparent cov- CTS over machine gun compartments and cockpits to provide good visi7 bility and warmth.

 Mud to Make
 Clean Movies

HOLLYWOOD, oct. g. You have to be good mudder" to get around the movie lots when the rainy season lives up to its name.
 You may find yourself marooned, very effectively, in one corner of lot while lakes and streams cut off all but wading escape. Rain-water collects rapidly in these parts.
 And curiously, the sound stages offer no surcease from the mud and slush that is the wanderers trial outside. Some pictures being filmed now are as wet and muddy as the weather.
 Even such clean enterprise as "The Green Pastures" makes one feel no better inside stage after muddling through the moisture out side. They are shooting-very fit- tingly-the flood that floats Noah's Ark
 The ark is built on a real dirt mound, where all the animals, from two aardvarks" to two alli cats" have been doing their patient emot- ing in cages or on the hoof for days. On this strange scene the gushets of artificial rain have been turned and the result is pretty quagmire
 Mud In Your Eye
 Heres mud in your eye!" is Hol- lyWood's toast to many of it's actors in muddy films. This war picture, Zero Hour" for instance. There are trenches, nice raine -on trenches, in which Warner Baxter, Fredric March, Lionel Barrymore and other French poilus to spend their working hours.
 When they emerge-they and the scores of extras who are likewise uniformed in mud-streaked blue they go to an interior set which rep resents a front-line hospital im- provised in huge wine-cellar. The floor is of real dirt. Dirty, muddy soldiers loll about on cots, generous ly streaked with Fuller's earth. It matters not that this is the makeup equivalent to real mud-the effect is the same.
 Dirt, but at least dry dirt, is the keynote on another set, for Under Two Flags" Here it is sand, dirty tan sand, that is the stages "car- pet inches deep. A few tall palms are being erected, and workmen are putting up tent, floored with oriental rugs. But there is water even here-a small pool near the palms, as if Hollywood needed an oasis.

 WASHINGTON, Oct. g. = Fear and panic generated in military pi- lots by extreme cold when flying at high attitudes is forcing abandon ment of the old open cockpit type of airplane.
 Captain Harry G. Armstrong, di- rector of the Army's psychological research laboratory at Wright Field, writing in the Military Surgeon, de- clared that as cold increases the heavy winter flying suits used by service fliers become ineffective and i've find progressive mental dis tress, loss of morale, indifference or distaste for the mission. a tendency to panic and finally stupor and death.'
 Lose Nineteen Per Cent
 For this reason, he declared, tests on 35 pilots and observers have shown that the higher efficiency of planes with open cockpits is more than offset by a loss of efficiency in the man who handle them, the net loss in efficiency being about 19 per cent.
