around the town square Of Siena. The

naped. The horses are taken into the
chapels and blessed.
Other scenes shown included the
colorful tarantula dancers at Portofino,
floats in the carnival at Viareggio, and
concerts and foot ball game in me-
dieval costume at Florence.
Emphasizing Mussolini's interest in
the physical development of italian
youth, Weerth also showed pictures of
Romes new athletic center which is
said to have the largest swimming pool
in the world. The movies showed hun
dreds of athletes at practice.
Modern Italy has invaded even the

RAILROADS EMBARGO
SCRAP IRON CARGO
Loaded Cars Already Backed Up
at Many Ports From Maine
to Texas.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A jam in scrap iron trafic, attrib-
uted partly to Europe's vast rearma-
ment, has prompted the Association OF
American Railroads to apply stringent
regulations to shipments of the metal
The association, broadening previ-
Gus orders, laid embargoes against
such shipments to all Atlantic and
Gulf ports from Portland, Me, to
Houston, Tex. Shipments can be
made only on specific authorization
by association representatives at vari-
Gus ports
Cars loaded with scrap are standing
idle at many ports. Transfer OF the
iron to vessels had been impossible
because most outgoing ships were fully
cargoed.
Although rail authorities declined
to assign a reason for the heavy move
ment abroad, Commerce Department!
ofhcials said rearmament in foreign
countries probably is factor.
Armaments manufacture In Great
Britain has necessitated increased
scrap imports and Japan also has been
a heavy purchaser in recent months.
