regime as belligerents would give the nationalists the right under interna- tional law to conduct a formal block ade of the Spanish coasts and nat urally would elevate his junta in in- ternational prestige, thus making his path easier in seeking diplomatic recognition for the nationalists as the real government of Spain.
 'If other nations, forgetting their future convenience, refuse satisfac- ton to the demands of nationalist Spain and answer its friendly atti- tude with injustice and unfriendli- ness, they should not be surprised if tomorrow our international economic policy closes its doors to those who in the days of our country's need proved their enmity," Franco's note to principal foreign powers said.
 The concluding paragraph con- tained a direct threat to Great Bri- tain's important mining and other interests in Spain and to all coun- tries which have bought a share of Spain's important mercury, copper. iron, coal. Ignite and other minerals essential in armaments making.

 in Pacific
BY PHILLIPS ,. PECK

Copyright 1897 by United Press)
 JaSonville, Ind. July 7-(UP)-- Retired Naval Officer otis Stantz, who once drifted for nine days in a plane in the middle of the Pacific ocean. said today that he thought Amelia Earhart and Navigator Fred Noonan probably are all right and have more confidence than anyone else in their ultimate rescue"
 Everything hinges on the assump- tion that they made a successful langing," Stantz said. "If they got a good break in landing-and sig- nais from the plane indicate they did-then Miss Earhart and Captain Noonan probably are all right"
 Took Off in 1925
 In September, 1925, Stantz and four other naval officers took off from San Francisco in a seaplane for Honolulu-2,300 miles away. It was one of the first trans Pacific flights. Twenty-Five hours from San Francisco the plane was forced down-100 miles short of its goal.
 The men had little food or water. They had been able to flash an sos going down, but after they hit the water they had no power to send radio signals.
 Nine days they drifted, listening to-ships and land stations direct the search, turn in discouraging reports, finally agree that the party probably had gone to its death.
 On the ninth day a submarine discovered the plane 10 miles from Honolulu and rescued Stantz and his companions, Commander John

Circulation Department of Newspapers May Belong
 to Teamsters' Union

Seattle, Wash, July 7-(UP)- The American Newspaper guild, which called Q strike against the Seattle Star because of a dispute over whether circulation department employees should belong to the guild or the teamSters' union, sought a conference with the publishers to- day.
 The guild went on strike satln day. The paper did not suspen publication until Monday. The Star has no Sunday editions.
 Mayor John Francis Dore, Se- attle's labor mayor" branded the guild strike illegal because it had not been approved by the Central Labor council. He offered to dis perse the pickets with police.
 Stand of Editor
 Rodney L.. Brink, editor -in-chief of the Scripps league of newspapers, of which the Star is a member, said, We have a lot of talking and de- batting to do before the police move in. We don't want any picket line dispersed at this time"
 Mayor Dore has refused to put police on strike duty during the walkouts on the waterfront and has not offered to move out pickets dur ing other strikes, but he said he was following a new policy of opposing Illegal" strikes.
 William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor called upon organized labor to supp port the teamsters' union as the rec ognized bargaining agency for news paper circulation department asn- plyoyes.

 "The supreme court is playing pol- itics and everyone knows it." Guffey said opening the second day of de- bate on the bill. And when the chief justice of the United States persists in campaigning politically against the administrations reor- ganization program, I intend to place that fact upon the records.

Judge Ernest A. Inglis Heard Testimony Yesterday That Presentation of Pictures Might Cause Trouble
 Here-Judge Makes Pertinent Queries
Special to The Democrat)

Middletown. July 7.-Having in- dicated yesterday that injunctions sought by the Waterbury local North American Committee to Aid Span ish Democracy, to make possible the showing of the banned Spain in Flames" in Waterbury, would, if interpreted literally, interfere with constituted law and order, Judge Ernest A. Inglis of superior court was today considering whether or not a substitute man. datory injunction should be granted. The judge is to announce late this afternoon whether or not he will accept an offer to view the film himself at a private showing in New Haven Friday. Of the in- functions sought, the first would restrain Police Superintendent Will liam J. Roach from refusing to issue a permit, while the second would restrain him from otherwise inter- fering in any way with the showing of the picture.
 Pertinent Quefies
 Speaking of the first, Judge In- glis asked Attorney Ralph o. Wells, counsel for the North American committee, How is it going to do you any good to get that injunction? The superintendent would just have to stand mute, and you'd still be without your license" The second, the judge pointed out, would make it impossible for Superintendent Roach to take action If there should be any trouble or open violation of the law at the showing of the pie ture. Corporation Counsel Charles S. O'Connor and Claims Attorney Vincent Scully, appearing for the superintendent agreed to an amended prayer for relief, calling for a mandatory injunction forcing Superintendent Roach to issue 8 permit for the display of the film at Temple hall the 22d.

Why should the Bridgeport WPA symphony be kept intact while Waterbury loses its band?" was a general question. washington" :" came the whispered answer from WPA headquarters of recreation projects at New Haven.
 Some Amazement
 Amusement was expressed by many here that washington" should be held answerable for a discrimination which finds musi- clans not on relief holding jobs in a symphony orchestra while musi- clans dependent on relief work are disnnisserd. That, however, is the case, as reported by the New Haven headquarters, Mrs. Ethel Edwards, supervisor.
 Waterbury is to have an orches- tra of 10 members, Hartford a similarly-sized aggregation, and New Haven an orchestra of five But at New Haven the band num- bered approximately eighteen mem- bers.
 The Stamford WPA band is moi to be cut one member. Reason given by New Haven headquarters is that the band is paying it' way" with concert SC h c dulles planned through the summer.
