BRITAIN
TO MAINTAIN
NEUTRALITY
Hoare Maps Program
Of Non-lntervention;
Arms Ban Set
By KINGsBURY SMITH

LONDON, Aug. 10 G.N.SO.-In
the hope of foreStalling a gen
eral conflagration," Great Britain
will remain steadfastly aloof from
interference in Spain, Sir Samuel
Hoare, first lord Of admiralty, de-
clared in a speech at Cromer
today.
In the first concrete act of this
policy, the Board of Trade revoked
all existing licenses for export of
arms and ammunition to Spain,
including airplanes and airplane
engines, assembled and dismantled.
Sir Samuel's declaration, the
strongest exposition of British
policy yet voiced since outbreak
of the bloody Spanish civil war,
was made shortly after the Foreign
Office sought to prevent the
United States from being dragged
into the controversy now raging
over PRONUNCIATION of an interna-
tional non-intervention pact.
u. S. Safeguarded
An official spokesman had said
the United States would not be
considered as one of the arms
producing nations which Germany
has insisted must subscribe to the
agreement before it can be made
effective.
Sir Samuel told his hearers in
his dry, pedantic tones:
"Great Britain has no inten-
ton of interfering in N1e il
ternal affairs Of Spain or of en-
brOiling Britain in a grim deteSt-
able struggle that is not our di-
rect concern.
eff we attempted to impose
our will upon the Spanish fac
tons, we might involve Europe
In . general cOnflagration."
He added:
eve are strengthening our
defenseS to prevent a world war.
If there's any country so foolish
or so criminal as to want war,
/ say we are rearming because
we are determined to make q
world war impossible"
FLEET TO SPAIN
Meantime, the governor an
nounced extensive fleet exercises
in Spanish civil war waters.
Sir Samuel will leave Villerfran-
che Saturday aboard the cruiser
Enchantres to watch the exercises
and visit Gibraltar and Malta.
Although the admiralty charac-
terized the maneuvers AS routine,
the presence Of Sir Samuel added
to their Importance, and it was
pointed out that Britain is much
concerned over reports that the
insurgents have offered conces-
sions to Italy in the Mediter-
ranean in return for assistance.

Poison gas, openly announced
over the Madrid radio, will be used
against 10000 Moors brought into
Spain from Africa in foreign air
planes to fight with insurgents.
Only tear gas will be employed in
fighting the other inSurrectos.
Moorist troops, alleged by the

many and Italy, apparently con-
doned by the governments of those
Fascist countries, is becoming a
major factor in the struggle.
Dismantled Junkers and Ca
prom airplanes from Germany

Seville, where they are assembled
under the direction of foreign ex-
pertS in inSurgent uniforms.

craft guns were mounted in Sc

the Germans and Italians when
Madrid finally faces an air attack.
Surprising those who thought
Britain'S unofficial sympathieS
were with the insurgents, Gen.
Queipo de Llano, inSurgent COM
mandant at Seville, broadcast to-
day the charge that bombs of
English make were being dropped
by government airplanes.
He declared:
81 have two of them on my
deck before me, where they may
be seen by anyone who wishes"
The general also asserted that
the BritiSh-owned telegraph COM
pany is preventing the insurgents
communicating with the Canary
Islands, which are in inSurgent
hands.
In Madrid the 10 p. m. curfew,
which kept the city in complete
darkness at night for two weeks,
was abandoned last night because
of asSaSsinations and terrorism &C.
curing in the streets.
The government denied French
reports today that San Sebastian
and Irun, scene of one Of the most
mercilesS struggles of the war,
were about to surrender to the in
SurgentS.
so Believed Slain
Foreign estimates placed the
dead in the naval bombardment
of San Sebastian at more than
so and the wounded at 100. The
fate of the 700 rebels held as
hostage there. and of the 200
in the dynamite-undermined Fort
Guadalupe near Irun still is a
mystery, but French reports told
of mass executions with the
bodies piled high in the streets.
Shells from the insurgent war
ships started a huge fire in one
end of San Sebastian that
threatens to spread through the
whole city.

rotary Count Galeazzo Ciano,
Premier Mussolinis son-in-law.
An indignant denial Of a story
cabled from Rome and widely cir
culated in the United States,
falsely alleging Premier Mussolini
had modified Italy'S air forces to
fight with Spain's insurgents if
French aid to Madrid continues,
was issued here this afternoon
by Count Ciano.
Ciano, closer to Mussolini than
any other living man. gave the fol-
lowing as Italy'S official refuta-
ton of the article:
"The story cabled by an
American press association mot
International News Service) is
utterly absurd and without
foundation"
Due to ever-present tension in
Europe, Italy has never really re-
duced her army and air force
from a war basis since the Ethio-
plan conquest, but official quar-
tiers today denied foreign reports
that any new orders had been
given to aerial pilots to be ready
for action. One official said:
''NO such step is necessary at
this time"

FLINT, Mich. Aug. 10 G.N.S).
A towering factory worker and
his 20-year-old wife were held by
police today in connection with
fantastic plot to tunnel from
a sewer into the vault of a bank
here.
Authorities marveled at the
perseverance of the giant, Floyd

confessed digging the tunnel.
Num- decided to reveal the plot
when he suspected my wife was
having a good time" while he
spent hours underground, he
said.
Num- implicated his wife, say.
ing she went with him when
they sought to determine prog
ress made in the tunneling.
Skeptical police descended into
the sewers after hearing Nunn'S
story and found 20-foot tunnel
leading toward the bank.
Num-, working in three-hour
shifts each night, tunneled from
a sewer toward the bank for
three months. The last night he
worked, he said. part of the
tunnel caved in.
Nightly, Num- burrowed his way
through the 54-inch sewer with
water up to his knees, carving a
hole about two feet square.
Every shovelful Of earth had to
be taken back toward the sewer

A police court jury today was
celebrating the fate of George
Robinson, colored barber shop
owner. charged by Health Depart
ment inspectors with keeping a
shop, 14OO block New York Ave.
N. W., open seven days a week
in violation of District regula-
tions.
Assistant District Attorney Ar
thur Mclaughlin brought out the
fact that Robinson had secured
two occupancy permits for his
shop, which contains barber chairs
on both sides of the room. One
permit entitled him to operate a
beauty shop, while the other gave
him the right to run a barber
shop.
Thus, the prosecution commended,
customers were shaved on the
beauty shop" side of the shop on
Sundays while the barber shop
side was technically closed. De
spite the beauty shop angle, Gov
eminent witnesses said, no women
patronized the establishment.
Fourteen witnesses testified dur
ing the trail, which consumed
four hours.

NORTHERN SPANISH IN
SURGENT ARMY HEADQUAR
TIERS, BURGOS, Aug. 10 G.N.SO
The reds use Of poison gas
against the whites, as reported by
Insurgent General Emilio Mola in
an official declaration to the
press, may change the entire as
pect of the civil war, and today the
white armies made speedy prepa-
rations to equip their front-ltne
troops with 10000 gas bombs
available in Burgos.
The use of gas in a European
civil war has never before been re-
ported, not even in BolShevik Rus
STA, where it was not available.
Only in China has it been used in
civil conflict, and the announce
ment here that it is now being
employed by the Madrid forces
aroused bitter indignation.
Flame Car Stopped
At the same time another white
dispatch from Asturias reports the
capture of a red flame-throwing
armored car which. with several
other armored cars, had at
tempted to take Gijon.
Thus, with flames and gas, the
lethal weapons of SPANS inter
necine struggle now comprise
everything known to science.
Meanwhile, the international
aspects of the Spanish civil war
became more critical as news
reached here that the French
radical government, growing i'm
patient at the delay of the powers
in signing an agreement for all to
remain neutral, has indicated that
it will soon begin delivering arms
and airplanes openly to Madrid.
Nazis, Italians Visit
This is countered by the public
visit of officers of the German
cruiser Koeln to the white COM
mander at Coruna, with a SubSe-
quent football match between the
German sailors and a garrison
team.
Paralleling this episode is the
visit of an Italian warship to
Seville, where the Spanish Fas-
cists sang the italian Fascist
anthem, while the mayor Of
Seville entertained the COM
mander and officers of the
Italian vessel.
Europe's front is definitely
aligned. and the sound of the
guns of SPANS civil war echoes
in every capital of the continent.

LOUISIANA LESS
EXCITING SINCE
LONGS MURDER
His Influence Still Exists,
But His Dictatorship
Is Gone.
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES
Times Special Writer

NEW ORLEANS, March 3-Liv-
ing here is less exciting-and far
less anxious for some-than a few
months ago when Huey P. Long
ruthlessly exercised the first dicta-
torship imposed upon one of the
United States.
The tension among the solid citi-
zenry noted on visit IA months
ago, when the dictatorship was at
its height and supine legislature
was binding chains upon the cleo
torate at Senator Longs bidding,
has relaxed.
New Orleans again swarms out to
It's race track, and dances into the
nig.-t, in the gay and nonchalant
fashion which has earned the city
an international reputation for
gracious living and cordial hospital
ity.
