SENIOR CRESP0
IN ROMANCE

It was love at first sight; there
seems to be no question about
that.
And so, after a courtship of a
week. Senior Don Manuel Crespo,
attache of the Ecuadorean Lega-
ton, and Miss Sallie Hunter,
Pittsburgh school teacher, will be
married either tomorrow or the
next day.
The weeks delay in their we'd
ding plans, however, is due to no
fault of their own. Had they had
their own way, they would have
been married the day after they
met.
1t happened-not in Monterey,
but at Rehoboth Beach, Del,
where both had gone for a vaca-
ton.
Last Wednesday or Thursday
Senior CreSpo, in his excitement,
was not sure which-they met.
And, again by his own admission
lover long-distance telephone to
Rehoboth), it was "first-Sight
love-"
And so he popped the question
and, the day after, Miss Hunter
said yes.
Together they went to the Rev.
j. R. Barber, Philadelphia clergy
man, who is staying at one of the
Rehoboth hotels, and asked him to
do the honors. The clergyman,
strangely enough, asked them how
long they had known each other,
and, without embarrassment, they
replied:
"Since yesterday"
Imagine the clergyman's sur
prise! He suggested delay of at
least a few days and, after much
persuasion, convinced them.
So they are waiting. But not
long.
The wedding will take place
either tomorrow or the next day.
Senior Crespo was not sure which;
neither was he sure where the
ceremony would take place. Miss
Hunter today is in Pittsburgh.

The Republican nominee

recommendations for relief of the
drought areas. He will present
these recommendations to the
President only if they are re-
queSted.
The Landon program was re-
ported to be in line with recon-
mendations he submitted to the

REPORT FRENCH
WOMAN SLAIN
-VnTE AMERICAN-
By THOMAS A. LOAYZA


MADRID, Sept. 3 G.N.SD.-A
French newspaper woman was
shot and killed today when she
encountered insurgents near Villa
Franco, on the Cordoba front, &C.
cording to a message received here
today.
Loyalists were besieging Cor
doba, insurgent-controlled, and
civilians were evacuating the city
to Seville, the government said.
The French woman, unnamed in
the report, was accompanied by a
radical militiaman, who also was
slain, the report stated.
Government planes bombarded
Cordoba and the insurgents posi-
ton was made worse by armed
farmers of Lora Del Rio, who stub
bornly resisted an inSurgent relief
column attempting to reach the
city.
While the bitterest fighting ap-
parently was taking place on
the Irun front, the government
claimed advances in fighting on
the Estremadura front, in the
west, and at Oropesa, in the south
west near Toledo.
The war ministry announced
radicals at Oropesa stemmed an
insurgent advance after sharp
fighting in which artillery and
aviation units were used de-
ciSively.
