QUEEN MARY DONS MAKEUP FOR DEBUT
New Superliner to Sail for U. s. May 27; Artistic
 Effect Achieved

The new superliner Queen Mary is having her makeup" put on for her debut.
 The stately ocean giantess will look her best when she casts of for Southampton, England, May 27, to make her bow in transatlantic travel.
 And so her complexion is being touched up as she lies in drydock at Southampton. The beauticians deft- 1 ly working on the hull of the Queen Mary number over 200. They are tEe scrapers and painters, pygmies along side the towering sides of the 80,773-tone vessel.
 The basic job of providing the Queen Mary with an attractive com- | plexion already has been done. It was accomplished as the liner lay in her fitting out basin at Clyde- bank, Scotland, and before they brought her down the River Clyde into the open sea and to her home | port aG SOuLnampCOn.
 Finishing Touches
 Now, as the day she sails on her maiden voyage to New York rapid ly draws near, the finishing touches are being applied.
 The expansive hull of the ship is being vigorously scraped to remove every trace of barnacle. Outside and inside of the huge liner the last coats of paint are being smoothly, evenly spread by hum dredS of paint brushes.
 No ordinary task is this work (: beautifying Great Britain's big gest and proud maritime master piece.
 Seventy thousand gallons of paint black, white and red-comprised the materials used in painting the outer hull alone. When the job is completed two solid months of steady toll will have been devoted to 1t. The contract for this work was declared to be one of the larg- est ever awarded in the history of the painting industry. With an overall length of l,0l8 feet, the Queen Mary confronted her paint CTS with the assignment of cover i-y 50 acres of surface.
 No less than three complete coats of white were applied to the outer hull before the painters began put- ' ting on the final coat of glowing black. Thus, permanence of the ships surface beauty is assured to match the beauty of her interior.
 On the waterline the hull's black ness is relieved by a strip of red and aboye where the l2 decks be- gin . belt of pure white surrounds the vessel extending upward to the white of the superstructure and the bridge.

US. REJECTS
SPANISH PLEA
FOR BLOCKADE
Cannot Recognize Govern
ment Demand to Shun
Ports
ONLY POSSIBLE If
ENFORCED BY MADRID
By JOHN A. REIcHMANN


WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. (UP)
The United States last mig int re-
iected as illegal an attempt by the
Spanish government to keep
American ships out of ports held
by Spanish rebels, and notified
Spain it could not recognize such
a move unless it declared and
maintained San effective block
ade" of such ports.
The action was Americas an
swer to a warning from the Span
ish government that it considered
the ports held by rebels as war
zone" into which it could not per-
nit merchant ships to go with sup
plies for rebels.
The Spanish government gave
the warning to other countries at
the same time, it was reported.
In reply, the state department
last night instructed its ranking
official in Madrid, Eric G.. Wan
delin, to advise the Spanish gov
eminent that the U. S. acted with
the friendliest feelings toward the
Spanish government" but could
not "admit the legality of any &C
ton on the part of the Spanish
government in declaring such
ports closed unless that govern
ment declares and maintains an
effective blockade of such ports"
"In taking this position my gov
eminent is guided by long line
of precedents in international law
with which the Spanish govern
ment is doubtless familiar" the
instructions stated.
The Spanish governments aim
in warning off foreign vessels was
to stop supplies of arms, NUM-
tions, airplanes and gasoline which
were allegedly being landed at
certain southern Spanish ports to
aid the rebels in their drive to-
ward Madrid in the center of the
country.
No charges stand against Amer
lean vessels, but Spanish warships
already have stopped German and
British boats which they suspect
ed of carrying supplies to rebels.
They also stopped an American
vessel, the Excambion, but allow
cd II to proceed when they learn
ed it's identity.
British and German officials
have taken a position similar to
the American.
The Spanish warning was de-
livered to Wendelin on August ~
in a note verbale from the Span
ish foreign office which asked that
he transmit it to American ships
so that possible incidents may be
avoided" -, .,
The United States reply that it
could not admit legality of clos
ing of the ports unless an "effec-
tive blockade" is maintained was
said not to change this govern
ment's position in regard to the
Spanish civil conflict.
1t was emphasized that the note
did not put the U. S. in the posi-
ton of recognizing Spanish hos
tilities. The situation, it was said,
hinges about an intricate question
of international law involving an

SIlAI Ch
Smart and trim in her new
spring outfit, Judith Howard
stepped briskly from an eleva-
tor of the towns tallest office
building and made her way thru
the noon-hour crowd to the
wide entrance. There she took
up an unobtrusive spot beyond
the main stream of pedestrian
traffic, and waited.
There were other girls walt
ing in the shadow of the big
entrance, and there were scores
of them passing hurriedly on
their way to lunch. But none
was more pert, more honestly
attractive, than Judith Howard.
She had the assurance that
comes only to those who have
made, and are making, their
own way in the world. An as
surance that is, different from
poise, and somehow more genu-
ine-because poise is something
which can be acquired in ldle7
ness and so has nothing at all
to do with character.
She was medium tall, rather
slender in build, and while per-
haps none of her features were
classic in themselves, neverVne-
less they formed a composite
whole which was the very es-
sence of beauty. Judith's eyes

Most local people, he said, have
the idea that the projects are

ter of fact, he said, these, projects
are community enterprises and

State authorities are dissatis-
fed with the lack of. interest on
the part of local governmental di-
visions in supplying projects on
which relief labor maybe worked.
