small group Of local politicians
named delegates to represent the
District at national conventions

people, the Friendship Citizens AS
sociation, last night unanimously
Endorsed Representative Jennings

local representation.

compulsory block booking and blind
selling in leasing Of motion pic
ture films, whereby exhibitors, it
was asserted, were compelled, in
many instances, to contract for
pictures unsuitable to their patrons.
Unanimous Endorsement was
given the recent action of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations in
appointing a special committee to
investigate District milk costs. The
investigation by Congress failed Of
results, it was declared.
It was voted to continue the
boys club movement by enlisting
the cooperation of other civic and
business groups in territory ada
cent to Friendship.
Nearly 100 members of the
American University Park Citizens
Association attended a special
meeting last night in Hurst Hall

mission proposal to change the
routing of the American Uni
versity bus line.
After prolonged debate, it unani
mously was voted to oppose any
change. It was pointed out that
the area had been developed
around the present line, after
many conferences with Capita,
Transit Company officials, ano
the proposed change would be
detrimental.
L. T. Savage, president; Thomas
E. Lodge, Henry A. Donovan and
w. Carr we're named a COMMITTEES

CONTROL PLAN
IS AIMED AT
MEXICO
Fascist Group Hints
Action Would Bar
Arms to Reds

LONDON. March q GN.S),-
The United States may be asked
to cooperate with the interna-
tional naval patrol established to
prevent foreign intervention in
Spain. it was learned today.
The chalrman's subcommittee Of
the international committee for
non-intervention decided to recon.
mend extension of the control sys-
TEN to include ships bound for
Spain from American and other
non-European ports.
If the recommendation is
adopted by the full committee, the
United States Government may I've
asked to permit American ships
proceeding to Spain to submit to
the control system.
Aimed at Mexico
The move to include America
and other European nations,
it Is understood, is aimed chiefly
at Mexico. Fascists in the sub
committee sponsored the step,
claiming Mexico is one of the chief
sources of war supplies for the
Spanish government.
If the full committee adopts the
recommendation, its chairman,
Lord Plymouth, may dispatch a
note to the United States and
other non. European nations, re-
Questing acquiescence.
American ships proceeding to
Spain, should the control scheme
be applied to America, would be
asked to take aboard a neutral OBJ
server at some European port. The
observer would continue with the
ship to its Spanish destination
and watch whether supplies were
included in the cargo.
Observers Work
If so, the observer would notify
the non-intervention committee,
which would call Washington's at
tention to violation of the spirit
Of non-intervention."
American ships going to Spain
without an observer would be
hailed by the International Naval
Patrol. which, while unable to halt
an American ship. might follow it
to its destination, watch it unload,
and report the cargo.
The subcommittee recommend
alton is likely to be discussed at a
full committee meeting tomorrow
Large supplies of war materials
are being rushed to Spain by Ger
many and Italy to provide insur'
gent Gen. Francisco Franco with
adequate reserves before the non.
Intervention control scheme takes
effect, according to charges re.
ceived by British government quar-
ters today.
In a dramatic race against
time, ship loads OF tanks, rifles,
machine guns. military planes,
bombs and munitions are arriving
almost daily at Cadiz, Seville and
other Spanish ports controlled by
insurgents. according to the
charges.
The supplies mostly consist of
munitions, which General Franco
is said to fear will run short once
control becomes effective.
The goods shipped to Spanish
Morocco are transferred from the
italian ships to Spanish insurgent
craft. it was stated, and the latter
then carry them across the Medi-
terranean to rebel ports.

Northern Securities is the hold

The company's formation i'm
