The change of color in chAneleonS
and certain frogs is very interest
ing phenomenon in nature. Many
complicated factors enter into these
color changes, but in general, they
are caused by the expansion and
contraction Of the pigment cells
in the superficial layers Of the
skin. The cells are linked up with
the sympathetic and central nervous
system by means of nerve fibers,
and they all act in harmony as the
result of common stimulus, which
may be due to moisture, light, or
temperature conditions, cerebral ex-
element, food, or the creatures
physiological condition; or the sur
roundings acting through its eyes.

PARIS, July 6-Generalissimo
Francisco Franco was reported today
by the Spanish government news
agency to have sent the italian and
German governments a secret memo
randum asking 125,000 more troops
for renewed attack on Madrid
The purported document, published
by the Agence Espagne, the gov
ernment news agency, was addressed
to German Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and
italian Duce Benito MuSsolini.
The agency said Franco asked Ger
many and Italy, both of which coun-
tries have recognized the insurgent
regime, for "125, 900 more men, 500
airplanes, so artillery batteries and
. considerable number of tanks"
Plans Two Drives.
Franco told Hitler and Mussolini,
the agency alleged, he was planning
q simultaneous offensive against
Madrid and on the Teruel front
northwest of the temporary capital
ut Valencia.
The drive against the Teruel line
would be an attempt to sever Valencia
from Barcelona. the capital of au-
tonomous Catalonia.
Such an offensive would have no
chance of success unless very con-
siderable assistance were sent from
the outside" Franco was quoted by
the agency as admitting.
The new aid, the agency said the
memorandum reported to Hitler and
Mussolini, was made necessary by a
loss of 10000 men and 20 per cent
of the insurgent war materials during
the just completed siege of Bilbao
on the northern coast.
Aims at Recognition.
Franco was quoted as declaring he
had undertaken a political cam
paign" aimed at gaining recognition
for his regime and, failing that, claSsi-
dcation as belligerent.
Recognition as a belligerent would
give the insurgent chief the legal
right to halt and search foreign ship
ping off Spain for contraband of war.
The alleged memorandum was said
to have expressed Frances belief sew
eral South American countries were
only awaiting "the fall of Santander'
to accord his regime full recognition
Santander is the present major objec-
tive of the insurgent northern army.

Rights In Spain.

PARIS, July (P)-Persons close to
the French foreign ministry predicted
today that Great Britain and France
might agree to give the Spanish in
surgents limited" Pelligerent rights
in return for Italo-German co-opera-
ton in "hands-of1 Spain" sea patrol

dangerous tension in Europe over the
Spanish situation. caused by with
drawal Of the Italian and German
ships from the original sea patrol and
related events.
The Belgian representative on the
Non-1ntervention Committee probably
will introduce the proposal at the
groups next meeting, it was indicated.
The limited" belligerent rights in
Spanish territorial waters would give

FRANCOIS stronger fleet the right to
blockade government ports and con-
troll shipping, government or foreign,
within the 3-mile limit
