GENEVA, September 20. - The
League OF Nations Assembly refused
today to grant loyalist Spain 4
seat in the League Council for the
next three years, to the jubilation OF
member nations sympathetic with the
insurgent regime of Generalissimo
Francisco Franco.
The Madrid Valencia government
failed by nine votes to obtain the two
thirds majority necessary for a new
term of the council. Spain's present
three-year term expires this year.
Spain remains, of course, q mem

BOSTON, September 20.-Forecast-
ing an economic or military blow-up
IN Europe unless economic readjust-
ments arc made during the next two
years, Secretary Hull today followed
this with plea for the return OF a
reign Of law" in the world.
Even in the event Of war abroad,
however, the Secretary of State ex-
pressed confidence the United States
would not become involved.
Joining Hulrs plea for liberaliza-
ton Of trade policies, President Roose-
welt, in a letter to the Boston Confer
ence on Distribution. declared that
proper economic distribution is "fac-
tor in safeguarding the peace Of the
world"
No Immediate Threat Seen.
Hull told the Conference on Distri-
button that an end to unlicensed force
In the world was necessary. A short
while earlier, at a press conference,
the Secretary said that regardless OF
his views on what might happen two
years hence unless adjustments were
made, he saw no immediate threat Of
war in Europe.
An active proponent Of reciprocal
trade pacts as a pathway to peace,
Hull lashed out at critics Of his trade
program. He asserted the critics Of
his program were the same people who
assured business and labor just before
the 1929 depression that there would
be perpetual prosperity in this country.
THE world needs q return to be-

law rather than unlicensed force, in

 Sport Shots Of Keen Interest

 Boston, April 23-(UP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 As far as basebalrs schedule makers are concerned, even Ma Na- ture seems to be on one of them thar Sitdowns ... Start of the 1887 campaign was moved back a week to avoid the usually raW-mid- April weather that necessitates dou- le-headers later in the season. |.
 "Now, however, it appears that 1t would have been a smart move if the boys had started the pennant chase back in February-when the weather really was hot
 As this is written (and we a1- ways manage to hear the crack of dawn), baby blizzard and chill ing winds are bowling through town So the chances are very good that the Red Sox won't be able to make their home debut against the world champion New York Yankees this afternoon as scheduled-unless the players are equipped with ski boots, ear muffs and pontoons which is a danged shame because some 25,000 customers, including the governors of Maine, New Hampshire, Massa- chusetst and Rhode Island, were all set to spend the afternoon at Fen way park ...
 If the weather doesn't start act- ing up Sunday, a delegation of Dartmouth undergrads. headed by Baseball Coach Jeff Tesreau, tke former Giants man mountain pitcher, will mush down from Han- over, N. H., to do honor to couple of wah-hoos who have made the big time .. they'll present nifty travelling bags to Red Rolfe, the Yankee third sacker who explained the 1881 Dartmouth nine, and Ted Olson, Red Sox rookie hurler, who was captain of last years Big Green team.
 Connecticut sports enthusiasts are burned up about the treatment Albie Booth got in his quest for the Hamden high school athletic QlrecCOrS post Ineyre say ing the former Little Boy Blue didn't get the job because he was a victim of politics
 During the past winter, the Har- yard student body started move ment that resulted last week in elevating basketball to the rank of major sport now they're trying to do the same thing for swimming. :.
 It looks as if the boys have got something there there ought to be some reward for snapping Yale's 13-year winning streak .. |. besides. the Harvard swimmers ap- pear to have enough power and ma- terial to rule the intercollegiate waves for some time to come. :.

ROSE AND.
 RED DRAGON IN +ONE MAIN BOUT
POdubny and Brown Also on Top Gordon to
 Meet Stills

Lithuanian lovers of wrestling, and there are reputed to be some 10000 of them in the Brooklyn section of the city are expected to have a large-sized delegation of fans on hand tonight for the express purpose of seeing Andy Bruzauskas, or Brown, as he has been named by the promotorial geniuses who have hired him to show his wares. In this instance his job will be to scramble the ears of the Rough house Russian, Ivan (the Terrible) Podubny in one of the two main bouts listed by Jumping Joe zon- sin, who has made wrestling pay its way in this city after four others had failed.
 Rose vs Dragon
 The other main bout is even more attractive, inasmuch as the ability of the participants is a known quantity in these parts though the men have never met on a local mat before. Steve Rose the Maine woodchopper. is to meet the Red Dragon, funniest of mat men, who also combines strength and graphing ability with his com edy when occasion requires and has done very well during his lo- cal appearances to date. Both main bouts are signed on a two out of three fall basis or to a 90- minute time limit.
 Promising
 Ace Gordon who has won much local favor in two appearances, will have a Tartar on his hands in the person, of Stanley Stills, ex-B. U. athlete, who is an able nathan capable of pinning the shoulders of the up and coming protege of Karl Pojello. This bout figures to be one of the best of the five ar- ranged for the evening with every indication of lively action from start to finish.
 James J. McMullen will make an- other appearance at Buckingham hall this time against Chick Rae an instructor in the American In- ternational College of Wrestling, wherever that is. The men will meet for a half hour or less, fol- lowing the opening bout which brings together Lucien Rondeau and Shorty Cavanaugh in a 30-min- ute test.

By HENRY McLEMORE tUnited Press Stan Correspondent,

New York, April B. (UP)-I sup pose I really should write about baseball today, being as the season is only few days old and millions of, fans are almost mad for informa- tion on the doings of their heroes in flannel. It's downright selfish of me, guess, to withhold from them such vital facts as that Charlie Grimm loves to have his shoes fitted by salesman with toupee; that Bob Teller gets nervous if he has to wear Spanish shawl while warming up: that Connie Mack never has owned 8 diving bell, and that Mickey Cochrane has forbidden the Tigers to duel during the regu- lar season.
 But I can't help it. I must write on bicycling today, and if that makes you mad you have only Mon- sieur Pierre Dubois, constructeur, 49, avenue Rosny, Le Perreux, Paris, France, to blame. Because it was his chure-advertising his hand made, built-to-measure bicycles which arrived today, that made my subject imperative.
 I am right now in the midst of measuring myself for one of M. Du- bois' tailored machines which, &C., cording to his literature, fit as snug ly as glove, and have air-cooled handlebars and grips, and are fully equipped with pump, bell, and car rier.
 M. Dubois gave directions for proper measuring. Here they are:
 stand in your stocking feet and with distance exactly 12 inches be- tween them, measure the exact per- pendicular distance from the bones on which you sit to the floor. GET TT RIGHT. THIS IS MOST, MOST IMPORTANT.
 State your sex.
 "State your weight with clothing.
 "State sex of bicycle"
 Then this note:
 Bring suede jacket or sweater, knickers or shorts and lisle golf hose with you. Ladies should order mans cycle unless they intend to wear skirt with ample pleats, knickers are most practical. Bring your camera France is beautiful"
 Yes, France is beautiful, M Bu- bois, but it wouldn't be with me whirling down the roads in lisle golf hose and pleated skirt. Not even if the machine on which I whirled was one of your male bikes. With its gorgeous plumage flying in the wind from the air-cooled hardlebars. And you say, M. Dubois, that with one of your hand stitched, embroid- cred machines ITS to 150 miles may be covered in a, day without undue fatigue. Don't give me that, my dear Dubois. At the end of 75 miles l would be "unduly fatigued, :" even if the measurements of the distance from the bones on which I sit to the floor were accurate to ten one- thousandths of an inch. As for 150 miles mot even one of your nine speed, Deluxe, long distance tour- ing tanderns," would enable me to

SLOW TRACK AT PENN RELAYS .BALKS SPEEDERS
Group of 1000 Athletes Started Record As-
 sauIt Today
By ROBERT vERMILLION United Press Stan Corrcspondent)

L United Press Stan COrrcspondentl
 Philadelphia, April 23-(UP)--A crack field of international titlists and Olympic stars among 5000 col- lege and Schoolboy athletes start a mass assault on the record books to- day in the 43d annual University of Pennsylvania relay carnival.
 Intermittent showers yesterday and throughout the night dan1pened hopes of startling speeds from the record holders who will compete in the 74-event, two-day program.
 First event, scheduled for p. n1., exhibits a fancy field of timber-top- pers in the 400-meter hurdles, one of the two metric events retained on the program. Other races will be run over the linear distances, with the exception of the 3O00-meter Steeplechase.
 Second collegiate event to be de- cidede today will be the quarter mile college relay championship in which Occidental college, only Cali fornia entry, will attempt to justify a 3,000-mile cross country trip from Los Angeles. Occidental will run against Army, Fordham, George town, Syracuse, Duke. Yale, Prince ton. Pennsylvania and other eastern colleges.
 Forrest tSpec) Towns will shoot at his worlds 12O-yard high hurdle record of Al when. he competes against such competent murders as Dave Albritton, Ohio State, Allan Tomlich, Wayne university, and Bill Rossiter of Cornell.
 Luigi Beccali, little Italian Olym- pic 1900 meter champion in 1892 and third in 1886, will run in a special invitation mile against Gene Venzke, New York A. C.. Don Lash, Indiana, and Ernie F'ederoff of the Millrose A. c. Saturday in the top-notch contest of the two-day program.
 Beccali holds the worlds indoor title in the 1,000-yard run and is considered the class of the mile field. He must better Glenn Cum ningham's mark of 4 minutes, 67 for the world record, and Cunningham's mark of 4:11.8 for the carnival title.
 Bill Harding of Yale will defend his pole vault championship. High Jumper Dave Albritton and Javelin Thrower Gene Taano, Pittsburgh are the remaining title defendants on the program this year.
 The invitational 100-yard dash, most popular event of the carnival, will give Eulace Peacock, Temple University Negro, an opportunity to take up where he left off last year when he pulled a tendon during a trial heat. Peacock will run against Martin Glickman, Syracuse, Allan Tolmich, Wayne, Bobby Packard, Georgia member of the Olympic worlds champion sprint relay team, and other aces.
