Plan to Surround Spain

LONDON, March 6 1N.S0-An
elaborate plan for an international
land and sea ring around warning
Spain was finally adopted last
night, after several weeks Of bick-
ering, by a technical Subgroup of
the non-intervention committee.
The plan will be submitted to
the full committee for approval
Monday. 1t probably cannot go
into effect before two weeks.
Under the scheme, the British,
French, Russian, German and
Italian governments will form an
international board to administer
supervision of Spain's coasts and
borders in behalf of the 81 sigma
tories Of the nonintervention pact.
The plan worked out by the
technical committee calls for the
dispatch of 130 British observers
to the Portuguese-Spanish border
to supervise traffic across the from
tier. One hundred and thirty OBJ
servers will patrol the Pyrenees
frontier between France and
Spain, while five will be stationed
along the Gibraltar boundary.
The naval patrol of Spain's
coasts, in which Britain. France,
Germany and Italy will partici-
pate, provides for the supervision
of the unloading of cargoes from
any ships of any of the 27 nations
bound by the nonintervention

NaMs servical

NEW YORK, March 6.-Mayor
F. H. LaGuardia, Of New York.
declared today he's glad he lives
in a democracy.
Flashing a big smile the Stocky
little mayor indicated he wasn't
the least bit disturbed over the
hullabaloo his slashing attack
upon Chancellor Adolph Hitler, OF
Germany. had created here and
abroad.
He said:
"Thank God, 1 live in q coun-
try where you can say your say
and continue to say it without
being in danger Of being mug
zled, imprisoned or shot,"
Mayor LaGuardia created an in
ternational incident when, speak
ing before a gathering Of Jewish
women in this city, he asserted
that the effigy Of "the brown
shirted fanatic who is menacing
the peace Of the world" would be
a fitting exhibit in chamber Of
horrors" for the New York Worlds
Fair Of 1899.
U. S. Sends Apology
The upshot was a barrage Of in
vective leveled at LaGuardta by
the press of Germany. This was
soon followed by an apology from
the United States Government,
through the State Department, for
the mayors attack. The American
government, citing the freedom Of
speech in vogue in this country,
stated, nevertheless, the mayors
remarks did not represent the atti.
tude Of the Government.
He added:

women here / was pointing out
the history Of the World War.
/ stated that American women
had rendered great aid to the
women Of Germany in their &C
tivitieS in this country in the
movement to avert another war.

of Europe.
II was saying what many Of
my friends in Germany know
to be the truth and cannot say

LaGuardia asked if Hitler had o
guilty conscience, remarking:
HE says, that's me-"
NAZI PRESS MUST ATTACK
The mayors attention was
called to the bitter barrage Of
criticism his remarks had drawn
in the German press. He merely
laughed at this, saying:
They've got to attack me in
the press over there"

Madrid Filters Attack
Las Rozas as Foes

By THOMAS A. LOYAZA

MADRID, March 6 QN.S)
thirty government planes staged
an air raid on the insurgent lines
at Las Rozas early today.
In the capital, at the same time
search lights picked out a number
of insurgent aircraft flying over
the city, but no explosions from
bombs were heard.
At Valencia the loyalist air and
marine ministries announced the
insurgents had carried out II air
raids in February and the govern
ment IS. Nine loyalist and 80 in
surgent planes were shot down, it
vas claimed.
Heavy Losses Cited
Insurgents at Salamanca issued
a communique denying loyallst
claims on various fronts and par
ticularly in the Asturias, where
they said government losses were
5000 in the last battle.
Insurgents at Pontavedra broad
cast a report they alleged had
come from Madrid to the effect
that Gen. Jose Miaja, commander
in-chief of the loyalist forces de-
Tending the capital, was keeping
a number of lorries near the
Madrid royal palace ready for
flight if insurgents enter the
capital.
An Estonian vessel, the York
Brae, allegedly carrying a cargo OF
war materials for the insurgents,
was reported captured on the north
coast of Spain by government
destroyer and taken to Bermeo
harbor.
Attacks Repulsed
Madrids loyaliSt commanders
claimed today that violent inSur-
gent attacks on the Jarama sector
around Morata and PeraleS de
Tajuna had been beaten off.
Reports from Barcelona said an
insurgent plane bombed Palamos
and nearby coastal towns.

MAN, DEATH
Threat on Teed's Life
Spurs G-Men to Act
On Poison Penner

POPLAR BLUFF, MO-, March s
G.N.SO.-Federal agents today
sought the author of a letter which
threatened the death that came
suddenly to DeloiS F. Teed, Butler
county relief administrator, on
the date set down in the note as
his Judgment day."
Although Teed's death was be-
lieved the result of an unexpected
heart attack, Coroner Grover
Greer indicated today that a post
mortem examination may be held
to definitely determine cause Of
death.
A copy of the letter which Teed
received week before was found
IN his pocket when his body was
found in the administrators office
late yesterday. The note read:
leave town for good in seven
days or it will be judgment day
for you. If you stay we will get
you or the boy Jackie Teed, .
1O-year-OId SOM, if it takes .
year \
The original note had been
turned over to Federal agents sew
eral days ago for investigation.
Teed was carrying a facsimile Of
the letter made by himself. InVes-
tigators said they had no clue to
the identity of the sender as yet.
Coroner Greer said the relief
administrator had been worried
over the death threat and ex-
pressed the opinion hat this may
have induced a heart attack.
Teed's administration of relief
affairs was criticized recently in
a petition signed by a group Of
men who had been dropped from
Federal relief jobs in the county.

Community Institution.

In a certain Western diocese some
years ago stranger one day called upon
the bishop. Il don't care anything about
your plan to build a cathedral" the
visitor explained, "but 1 want to make
a contribution because I believe other
people care. Personally, I suppose I'm
only heather, yet appreciate what the
church means to our town and that is
why wish to help"
Doubtless, a similar attitude of mind
distinguishes a considerable number of
residents of Washington with regard
to the current campaign for the en-
dowment of the National Symphony
Orchestra. The Capitals premier mu-
sical organization has two circles of
friends-those who attend its concerts
and enjoy them more than words can
tell, and those who 1Iever profit directly
from its efforts but who realize that
programs of the type 1t offers are a
community service.
The former class probably does not
need to be urged to subscribe; the latter
perhaps is waiting for an invitation.

cannot be held. The rapid expansion of
new municipal government service in
itself demands some air-tight form of
personnel selection under the merit
system, with local residents possessing a
preferred status, as in the case of the
Police and Fire Departments.
One of the great problems with which
the District government is now faced is
the constantly rising cost of mainte-
nance and operation. This item has
increased from s17,378,359 in 1920 to
$36,377,256 in 1886, an increase of more
than a million dollars a year. Sal
aries, of course, account for most
of it. And while great part of it
can easily be shown as justified and in
escapable, the effect has been to cut
drastically the amount of revenue avail
able for capital Improvement. Any step
taken to increase efficiency and economy
is worth while, and one of the logical
steps is the strict application of the merit
system.

Sit-DOwn Strike a
Form of Revolution

To the Editor of The Star
Is the "sit-down striker" justified in his
conduct? If so, under what circum-
stances? This may sound like debate,
but to my mind it is hardly debatable
No employe is justified in refusing to
work and at the same time refusing to
leave the premises of that employment
regardless of the circumstances under
which he is laboring In refusing to
leave he commits the act of trespass.
1t Is certainly against the employers will
and without his consent. The employer
or owner has the right to throw out the
intruder, by physical force if he can.
In this case he is obliged to call local
authorities for help. OF course, the en-
ploye IS within his rights to refuse to
work if dissatisfied, but leave he must.
The employer or the other hand cannot
force his employe to stay except where
there is binding contract.
The Shutdown strike" situation is a
mild form of revolution If and when
the employers become as stubborn as the
employees, we will then witness a COM
mercial bloody revolution. Something
similar to the recent Spanish revolt.
am not defending the employer, but
rather objecting to the sit down strike"
method. l know. as every other Amer
ican knows, that the employees are
underpaid, with unreasonable working
hours attached. Every thinking person
should know that the "sit-down strike"
proposal is not the proper solution.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt saw
this impending situation a few years
ago when he conceived the N. R. A. as
proper solution. 1t doesn't take an econ
omist to know or to tell you that there
is certain type of big businessman
who would work a dog to death, and
without compensation. For this type of
men the N r. A. was framed. For this
type of men the "sit-down strike" is
aimed. Let the President handle the
situation in his own way-"by the proc
ess of elimination"
