JAMES A. FARLEY
 ANSWERS STEEL
(Continued from Page D


 Farley denied the assertion in Republic Steel's petition filed last week before Justice James Proctor that the Niles, O., postmaster told a Republic Steel official that an agreement existed between the post office department and the commit tee for Industrial Organization not to deliver mail to the strike bound plant.
 Was No Agreement
 Republic had attributed the agreement to Jesse M. Mcdonald, first assistant deputy postmaster general. No such agreement ex- isted or would have been entered into under any circumstances, Far ley said.
 Farley denied that there was "any duty imposed upon him under the constitution or laws of the United States to accept and deliver pack ages under existing circumstances and conditions"
 He said Republic Steel had not been deprived of any legal rights.
 Prior to initiation of the strike it was no part of the usual or reg ular business of the Republic Steel to house and furnish subsistence to its employees in the plants" Barley said.
 Prior to the strike the Republic Steel had not offered for mailing any package containing food or clothing, Farley said.
 He charged Republic Steel had offered such packages for mailing only after attempts to deliver food and clothing by other means had failed because of fear of violence.

More Judges Named
 By Gouernor Cross
(Continued from Page D

Bridgeport still awaits his excel- lencys selection of judges. Hart- ford and Waterbury figured in judiciary appointments recently in which the republicans and demo- crats shared honors.
 It was somewhat confidently ex- pected in certain political quarters of the state that National Commit teeman David E. FitzGerald would have his say and that the judge ships in his own home town would be given exclusively to democrats, possibly one of the positions going to his son. MT. FitzGerald during the recent session of the legisla- ture disagreed on several essential points with Governor Cross. For mer National Committeeman Thom- as J. Spellacy, mayor of Hartford, went along with the governor, which was a surprise feature to ob- servers But MT. Spellacy failed to obtain exclusive court privileges for democrats in his city. His wishes were respected in the selection, but there was generous portion of dessert for the republicans.
 New Realignment
 It is becoming evident to a num- Der of political experts that the judgeships might prove the medium of effecting new realignment of party leaders in Connecticut. There are some, however, who are inclined to believe that a definite rift has

E., of the 145th Infantry, Cleveland, also arrived. They were assigned to Warren.
 Tickets Were Jubilant
 The nine mile long picket lines had been strengthened to resist the reopening o. the plants, but strikers received the military rule announce ments with shouts.
 They slapped each other on the back, dropped their clubs and went home to sleep. Skeleton picket lines were maintained until the troops took over.
 On the other side, Ray Thomas, head of the back-to-work move ment, condemned Governor Davey's proclamation but added that the march on the picket lines was called of.
 There isn't a thing I can do," Thomas said. T can't let the men go in now. This is just like game of checkers. I've got to wait for an opening. We're not giving up."
 A few minutes after the troops arrived at the Campbell entrance into the Sheet & Tube mill, the ' o'clock whistle blew a shrieking blast but no gates were opened and there was no demonstration by the crowd of pickets and spectators. Campbell is union stronghold.

GERMANY MAKES
 THREAT TO SPAIN

Gcontinued From Page D

(Continued From Page D on the German cruiser Leipzig, was the center of this new and danger ous situation.
 Germany made a series of de- mands for satisfaction which, though they were kept secret, obviously were muchSt ronger than any Brit ain and France could approve. It was reported that Germany wanted an armed naval demonstration of Valencia, the loyalist emergency capital, by warships of Britain, France, Germany and Italy. The powers which operate the neutral ity patrol of the Spanish coasts in the name of the 27 non-inter- vention powers.
 Four Power Warning
 It was understood that Germany also sought 8 four-power warning to the loyalists that attacks on for eign warshipS must be ended now and that in the future any attack would mean the seizure or sinking OI the atCacklug SnIpS.
 German newspapers, closely under Nazi government control, went even further and hinted that Germany wanted some seizures now in re- venge for the alleged attack on the Leipzig.
 Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, for Britain, countered with 8 suggestion that the four control powers join in 8 strong note to the loyalist government, demanding an explanation of the Leipzig incident and an apology.
 Britain's threat to leave the aon- intervention committee an act which would break up the commit tee-was made at 8 ub-committee meeting of the non-intervention group.
 Barrage in Commons
 During the afternoon, in the house of commons, the speaker had been forced to intervene to end a barrage of angry questions to For eign Secretary Eden on the number of German and Italian ariplanes used in the conquest of Bilbao.
 One factor in the Leipzig situa- tion is that the ioyalist government spiritedly denies that any loyalist submarine was in the sea at the time-June IS and 18-of the all legged attacks on the German cruiser. It offers to prove this to the British government.
 Scepticism as regards the Ger man allegations was made plain, too, in the house of commons yesterday.
 "Is the foreign secretary absolute ly certain that the facts are as stated?" asked the Duchess of Atholl, conservative, of Eden. Sure ly there should be an inquiry"
 Investigate Attacks
 "I should like to press that pro- posal," said David Lloyd George, liberal leader. Surely some inves- tigation should be made of these alleged attacks in view of the state ment that Spanish Qoyalist) sub- marines were in port"
 Has the German ambassador produced any evidence who was re- sponSible for these attacks?" asked Arthur Henderson, labor.
 To these revealing questions Eden replied that he was in the middle of negotiations, that he was unable to reveal the secrets of his diplomatic talks, and that he was trying to ob- tain the best possible solution of a difficult situation.
