NEW YORK, August 20.-Returning

rioting in Palestine. Edward j. Neil
Associated Press staff reporter, arrived
today on the liner Conte di Savoia, en-
visioning a continuing Italian CAM

Italy, spurred by her African con-
quests" Neil said, rs looking to
broader conquests. Some of her high
officers told me that conquering of
Ethiopia is only the beginning Of q
plan for an unlimited empire"
Palestine, Neil Said, is a mael-

militaristic front I saw in Ethiopia" +"
I'm Ethiopia there was real war;"
the newspaper man continued, while
the trouble in Palestine was spas
modic rioting between the Jews and
Arabs, resembling the neighborhood
gang wars of large American cities" a"
Neil, for several years a star re-
porter for the Associated Press, was
sent to Ethiopia last November. Early
in the Spring he was rushed into Pal

plank today, he limped from injuries
received when he crashed in an Ital-
ian bombing plane at Macalle.

sand and we rolled over and over
across the field" Neil said in describ-
ing the crash. I'VE were catapulted
through the side of the plane and
ended with our own noses buried in

Stopping in Italy. France and at
Gibraltar on his return, Neil found all
these edges of the European scene

major conflict.
Civilian populations everywhere
are trained as diligently against air

Spanish Submarine Watches Near
Rebel Cities

Rebel Cities
BY Radio to The Star
GIBRALTAR. August 20. - The
Madrid government today warned
Garman cargo ships not to enter
Spanish ports controlled by insurgents,
including Cadiz on the mainland and
Ceuta and Mellila in Spanish Morocco,
a government submarine following in
the wake of German ships for the
purpose of seeing that the warning Is
obeyed. Cadiz, an important seaport
in the hands of the insurgents, Is
blockaded, with Madrid cruiser and
two submarines standing miles
off the harbor, according to authentic
reports here.
This warning Is mainly aimed
against German vessels, since Madrid
suspects that vessels flying the swaS-
tika are landing war material for
Gen. Francisco Frances insurgent
forces.
The government suffered a serious
defeat in its new attempt to capture
Palma, in Mallorca, according to re-
ports received here. Conveyed by three
warships. three transports and one
sailing ship effected a landing Of
troops on the island, near Palma. In
surgents permitted the landing and
then turned their rifles and machine
guns into the advancing columns,
Staying 5000.
During the height of the battle two
insurgent planes bombed the warships,
compelling their retreat and leaving
the city in rebel hands.
Gen. Gonzalo Queipo de Llano,
commander of rebels at Seville. broad
cast the claim that the insurgents
hold 81 provinces in Spain and the
Madrid forces 18. The lull in the
advance upon Madrid from the south

MADRID, August 20.-Impetus to
the demand of IA other Spanish re-
kions for autonomy was predicted to-
day as the sequel to Catalonia's step
toward independence.
Spain, divided into Is regions
rather than the so provinces now
comprising the republic, was pictured
as the eventual result Of the Catalan
governments step toward collect
ivized state.
The Barcelona government council
yesterday decreed confiscation of all
private property and announced that
henceforth Catalonia will be inde-
pendent of Madrid in maintaining
public order.
Catalonia until now had operated
under semi-autonomous restrictions.
Socialist newspapers pointed out the
advisability of measures similar to
that of the Barcelona generalitat, pro-
viding for the regulation of produc-
ton and conscription of big indus
tries and transport under syndicalist
control by workers.
The autonomous region of Cata-
lonia has given all Spaniards. espe-
cially the central government, an ex-
ample of energy and foresight" the
newspapers asserted.
This is the way of annihilating
eascism."
The program of permitting various
regions to assume responsibilities for
their individual welfare comedies to
q great extent with that of the gen.
eral workers national and the con-
federation of labor.
If the Loyalist government crushes
the present Fascist military upris-
ing, one of the principal concessions
to these two powerful groups. 1t Is
expected here, will be permission tc
proceed with the autonomy idea and
collectivization.
