Non Intervention Committee Is Called
Into Session.

LONDON, January 18 P.-The
Intervention Committee to iso-
late the Spanish civil war was re-
ported today to be considering re-
vived plan to blockade the conflict
torn peninsula.
AS irsurgent Fascists and Socialist
government forces increased their
efforts with the end of the first six
months Of the war, the non-i1ter-
vention group was called into session
to act on a subcommittee compli-
Gated proposal for halting all aid to
the combatants.
Observers felt. however. the COM
mittee faced blank wall arising from
the apparent reluctance Of the major
European powers to take positive
action.
Situation Summed Up.
Authoritative sources summed up
the stalemated situation as follows:
Great Britain has enforced firm
ban on volunteers snd asked other
nations to follow her lead. France
and Russia have agreed in principle,
but declined to act until joined by
Italy and Germany who have delayed
answering until they formulated q
joint policy.
Informed circles noted an increas-
ing tendency to divide Europe into
three political camps with Britain
standing alone and holding the bal
ance Of power between Franco-Rus
sian and 1talo- German understand
ings.
Attention was focused on the prob
able answers from Germany and Italy
to the British demand for non inter-
vention. Authoritative sources con-
sidered their attitude, believed to have
been developed last week in confer
ences between Premier Mussolini and
Nazi Air Minister Hermann Wilhelm
Goering. would mean success or failure
for the committee plan to check aid
to Spain.
The subcommittee plan was said to
be based on four features:
l. Neutral observers in all Spanish
ports.
2. Issuance Of clearance papers at
neutral ports for all shipping bound
for Spain.
8. A neutral six-power naval patrol
to check the papers Of vessels in Span
1sh waters.
4. Neutral commissioners at high
way and railroad points Of entry on
the French and Portuguese borders.

section of Madrid, kept up desperate
rifle and machine gun fire
The Madrid forces maintained their
new positions, however, and a detach-

hospital.
The dynamite blast was set of yes
terday after lengthy preparations by
the government militiamen. who tried
to storm all the scattered hospital
buildings at once.
When the mine blew out the stair
way. their only means Of escape, the
Fascists mounted machine gun nests
on an upper floor.
The operating room and theater Of
the hospital, where powerful machine
gun nests had been concentrated, were
reported destroyed.
For more than nine hours guerrilla
fighting spread through the ruined
halls as the insurgents sniped at So

John T. Sadler, 80-year-old native

seeing his seventeenth consecutive in
Augural parade Wednesday more be-
cause of President RooSevelt's happy

Mr.. Sadler doesn't like gloomy pa

the attitude of the President who has
just taken the oath Of office and is
riding slowly back Pennsylvania ave-

House.
President Roosevelt will smile that

like he really means it. and I know
this parade will be q gay one"

depressed by the great responsibility

at the Capitol, Mr.. Sadler believes. He

II believe Teddy Roosevelt took his

for postponing enforcement OF the

leve that immediate favorable action
by Congress on this resolution on the
one hand would remove an obstacle
that now makes more difdcult the

1T also would provide sufficient
time for Congress to consider the
