dent Roosevelt, with - -
whom Mr. Mellon
has been in CORE -,
spondence and con- n,,
ference on the mat
ter. 1t will be submitted to con-
gress with the Presidents favorable
recommendation.
The Mellon collection, part of
which is stored in the Corcoran art
gallery in Washington, includes
many paintings of highest impor-
tance and some fine works of sculp-
ture. Lord Duveen of Milbank, head
of celebrated art firm, says that
its actual value is more than $780,
100000 and that it is the greatest
collection ever assembled by any
individual collector"
Tally sent note to the French
and British governments offer
ing to withdraw her support from
the Spanish Fascists provided all
other nations withdrew their sup
port from the loyalists This was
Mussolini's reply to the Franco
British note urging that no more
volunteers be permitted to go
to Spain. Evidently it would call for
long negotiations before noninter-
vention became effective.
Hitler had not answered the non
intervention note, but the German
authorities indicated that their
"war" of reprisal on the Spanish
loyalists for seizure of a German
steamship had ceased.
Probably realizing that his hope
of final victory was slim unless he
was ably seconded by Mussolini
and Hitler or could speedily cap
ture Madrid, General Franco di-
rected renewed and violent attack
on the capital Both Madrid and
Malaga suffered severely from
Fascist air bombardment.
The Spanish government at Val
encia filed with the League of Ma
tions a protest against alleged vio-
lation of its territory and its waters
by Germany and Italy. But Ger
many isn't in the league, and Italy
defes it, so the protest seems
futile
ROWN PRINCESS JULIANA of
~ the Netherlands and Prince
Bernhard zu Lippe-B Chesterfield were
made man and wife at The Hague,
and all the Dutch people rejoiced
exceedingly. There were two cere-
monies, a civil one conducted by
the burgomaster in the town hall
and religious one in St. James
church. The tall, plump bride wore
a silver robe over her wedding
dress and Bernhard was in the full
dress uniform of the Blue Hussars
Before the wedding there had
been a series of disturbing Incl
dents, including 'insults" to the
Nazi flag of Germany and protests
by Reichsfuehrer Hitler. But apol-
ogies and explanations cleared ev-
erything up and Hitler sent to
Queen Wilhelmina a cordial tele-
gram of congratulations on the mar
riage of her only daughter.
The only other wedding permit
ted in Holland on that day was that
of "the other Juliana," a peasant
girl who was born at the same hour
on the same day as the crown prin-
cess.
CUBMISSION, conviction and par
~ don of Marshal Shang Hsueh- |
Chang Kai-shek of China, appar-
emily hasn't ended the trouble start
ed by him. Dispatches from Sianfu |
said a majority OF Chang's former
army, numbering 250,-
000 troops, had joined red troops of
Shensi and Kansu provinces in open
revolt against the central govern
ment to establish a vast communist
empire in northwest China.
Reliable sources said that be- /
tween 5000 and 10000 persons were
killed during the Shensi rebellion
while Chang was held captive, and
the Sianfu authorities feared re-
newal of the slaughter there. Sand
bag barricades and trench fortifca-
tons were constructed around the
city.
