Explanation of Eskimo
Message.

Rockwell Kent. artist, who created
stir with the peculiar Eskimo mes
sage on painting Just hung in the
Post once Department has been
called on for an official interpreta-
ton of what he means by the
wording.
This was disclosed today at the
Treasury Department, where it was
learned that Rear Admiral c. J. Peo-
Piles, director of the Procurement Di-
vision. has written to Kent demand
ing an explanation
The picture has been attracting
much attention from photographers,
departmental employees and curiosity
seekers. 1t has not vet been sc-
cepted by the Government. nor will
it be until a thorough investigation
and inspection, officials said.
Kent has received only part pay
ment for his work, and no more pay
ments will be forwarded to him unless
and until the picture is finally ap-
proved and accepted.
The storm over the picture broke
yesterday when it was disclosed that
the inscription on a mail service

an appeal by the Eskimos to the peo-
pie of Puerto Rico to throw off Ameri-
can rule.
Vihljamur SteffanSson. Artic ex-

as meaning: ITO the people of Puerto

us change chiefs. That alone can
make us equals and free"

to the Spanish insurgent government.
(2) Too loosely constructed to wipe
out the attacks on Mediterranean
shipping.
The British spokesman said his
delegation does not believe the ques-
ton of belligerent status for the
Spanish insurgent chieftain, Francisco
Franco, would prevent complete ac-
cord at Nyon
He argued also that the patrol plan
would be effective on the practical
problem of ending the piracy.
Thus was answered the criticism in
iected by the Soviet Unions dele
gate and foreign commissar, Maxim
Litvinof.
The problem of belligerent status for
Franco-an old international head
ache-revolves around how the Medi-
terranean patrol would treat Franco's
submarines engaged in warfare
against the Madrid-Vale govern
ment-whether an exception would be
made in their case on the grounds
they were waging a war
Pirate Subs Defined.
The Frsnco-British plan, accepted
already in its main points by the
seven other powers represented at
Nyon. including Russia. fundamentally
defines pirate submarines as those
violating the 1886 London protocol for
the humanization of undersea warfare.
This pact, signed by most of the
naval powers of the world, including
Germany and Italy, requires that sub
marines Of country engaged in war
halt vessels before torpedoing them
and save the crew or permit their
escape in lifeboats.
1t was pointed out that up to now
the mysterious submarines in the
Mediterranean have ignored these
rules.
Furthermore, it was pointed out it
is difficult for submarines to save the
crews of the vessels attacked
Under the Nyon plan Russia would
have the right TO police the Eastern
Mediterranean If she wishes, together
with the warships Of Turkey and
Greece. Airplane carriers would be
available to catapult swift pursuit
planes into attack on any marauding
submarine

ference by Soviet Russias charges

weeks have terrorized Mediterranean
shipping lanes with their torpedoes.
has not had the patrol question put
| up to her.
The "anto- piracy" talks moved
swiftly toward a conclusion in which
the grave choice would be put I'D to
the Facist government. It was con-
ndently hoped the protocol would be
agreed to by tonight.
Both the British and French rep-
resentatives at Nyon announced their
governments had telegraphed Rome
and Berlin expressions of regret that
the Fascist states had not seen fit to
accept invitations to Nyon.
tMussolini's mouthpiece, II Po-
polo dItalia of Milan, said today
that Italy still stands ready to
collaborate in the efforts to quiet
the troubled Mediterranean. The
newspaper insisted, however, that
the 27-Nation Spanish Non-inter-
vention Committee in London was
better fitted to deal with the sub
marine warfare than the Nyon
gathering)
The Nyon delegates were prepared
for a private discussion of technical
difficultieS still to be smoothed out in
the anti-piracy pact. The gathering,
streamlined by the gravity of the
situation, promised to set q post war

CLUB TOLD OF
WILDFLOWERS
Regular Meeting Dates Are
Set; Visitors Comments
Are Heard

The Hendersonville Garden club
in semi-monthly session heard
Mrs. Lila Ripley Barnwell discuss
wild flowers, designed to second
and fourth Tuesday nights as de-
finite meeting dates, enjoyed the
hospitality Of the home of Mrs.
B. F. Station in Flat Rock and
heard the comments Of visitors
Tuesday night.
Miss Lane Of Winter Park, Fla,
was there as a visitor and COM
mented on the garden club work
of her home city. G.. F. Chaple,
grocer at 1875 First avenue west,
of his extensive gardening efforts
in the neighborhood of his store.
Last fall Mr.. Chaple sowed down
a corn field to peoples and lark:
spur. The poppies have passed
their prime and have been fol-
lowed by the larkspur in varie-
ty of shades. He has done extern
sive planting on the banks Of a
nearby ditch that was quite an
eyesore. He says his garden is
admired by many residents and
tourists as something quite out
of the ordinary in a negro resi-
dental section.
Tie mass display of peoples
and larkspur, possibly the largest
in the community, has been very
striking because of its extensive
ness. Mr.. Chaple says the effect
has been so great he believes that
some organization should employ
a person for a period in the fall
and again in the spring for cul-
tivating some of the unsightly lots
in Hendersonville.
Mrs. Barnwell showed great
familiarity with wild flowers, de-
scribing scores Of them with their
many characteristics. Her talk
was an extension Of one recently
made on the same subject to the
Woman's Club. Mrs. Barnwell
confined her interesting remarks
to the second division Of her
paper on Towering weeds and
vines. She has another paper on
native Towering shrubs and trees,
covering 81 or more varieties.
Mrs. BarnwelPs talk revealed
that many of the native wild flow
ers were cultivated to splendid
advantage here and that visitors
delighted in taking them to diff
ferent parts of the country for
their gardens.

SPANISH DESERTERS REPORT
LOYALISTS LAY PLANS FOR
INTERPRETATION OF BILBAO
Rebel Sympathizers Make
Tenure OF Basque City
Difficult

HENDAYE, Franco Spanish
Frontier, June 10. - (UP) -.
Basque dcSertcrs said today that
elaborate arrangements were be-
ing made in Bilbao to evacuatc
the shell-shattercd capital if the
nationalist advance gets much
closer, according to rebel reports.
The 100000 civilians in Bilbao
and the republican government Of
President Jose Antonio Aguirre
would be moved to Santander,
leaving the troops to resist to
the last. the deserters said.
Both soldiers and civilians were
reported by nationalist dispatch
es to have slipped out of isolated
Orduna south of Bilbao and come
over to the insurgent lines.
The Basque defenders were re-
ported removing everyone from
Orduna and preparing to burn
the city, key to the fertile Ner-
Won valley leading up to Bilbao.
The government felt there were
too many nationalist sympathiz-
crs in the city to defend it sue
cessfully, the deserters said.
Both armies waited for let
up in the torrential rain that has
washed out all activity during the
last "a hours. Generalissimo
Francisco Franco sent 10000 new
troops from Spanish Morocco to
the Basque front. General Jose
Fidel Davila will use them in his
imminent offensive.
Nationalist dispatches said that
the attack on the Cordoba front
south of Madrid was succeeding
and that loyalist losses were
heavy as a result Of hand-ro-hand
fighting, particularly around Pc
narroya.
Twenty thousand insurgent
troops were reported ready to
march in Corka province, north
westernmost part of Spain.

ALLECE ARSON
ATTEMPT HERE
Police Probe Effort To Fire
Wooden Portion OF
Garage

Investigation into an alleged
attempt to fire the wooden por-
ton Of Shipman's Garage, at the
corner of Seventh avenue and
Main street, during the early
hours Of Wednesday morning was
being continued today by the po-
Ice department.
Chief Otis Powers today de-
clared that he was convinced that
an attempt had been made to set
the building on fire, and that he
was following several leads in
the case. The police department
has fairly good idea as to the
identity of the person responsible
for the fire, Chief Powers said.
The fire was discovered about
2:3O a. m. Wednesday. Chief
Powers said that a quantity of
waste, soaked in oil, and bound
with wire, was found at the scene
of the fire.
The fire occurred at the rear
of the wooden portion of the ga
rage, used for storage. The blaze
burned a path about a foot wide
from the ground to the edge of
the roof of the building, but dam
age was practically negligible.
