EXPLAINS DETENTION
OF HITLER'S FRIEND
Czechs Declare Lord Redesdale's
Daughter and American Given
Routine Inspection.

BY the Associated Press.
PRAHA, Czechosloyakia. June O.
Czechoslovak authorities explained to-
day the five-hour detention of Miss
Unity Freeman Milford, daughter of
Lord Redesdale of England and a
friend Of Chancellor Adolf Hitler, was
but a part Of the routine inspection
OF all travellers passing through mill
tary defense zones.
Miss Freeman Milford was stopped
yesterday when she drove through a
military protection area en- route to
Karlovy Vary. Her companions were
an American whose name was given
as William F. Ruff of Chicago, a
Sudeten German deputy in the Czecho-
slovak Parliament named Wollner and
an unnamed British journalist.
Although Miss Freeman Milford
was subjected to a thorough examina-
tion by Czechoslovak road patrols in
the wee hours of the morning, the
authorities denied reports she was
suspected of espionage and said she
was not arrested. They said cameras,
IA films and 4 notebook were con-
hscated.
Ruff. whose occupation was not
known here, complained to the Amer
ican Legation in Praha, but was told
Czechoslovak officials were entitled to
enforce control measures they con-
sidered necessary.

the situation, were not even built in
the countries in which they are reg

to their homes. They are shipped to-
this country to join the ships.
1t was because these Scandinavian
seamen found their home stations
were virtually in United States ports
that the situation was revealed, there.
by moving the executive departments
and the Maritime Commission to ac-
ton. The Scandinavian seamen found
they could not live under their present
wages in American ports and sought to
get their wages raised to that paid
American seamen. They protested 50
vigorously that operators sent to the
home countries for replacements.
While waiting here the seamen were
given transit visas. until the issuance
Of the Presidents order wiping out
this requirement. When the ships
came into port, the wage-protesting
Seamen were discharged, and having
been brought here under agreement,
they refused to leave and demanded to
be returned home.
But, here is where the United States
pays again. When they refused to
leave the ships, American municipal
police were called aboard and the men
taken ashore and charged with being
trespassers. And being illegally in the
United States, the latter had to fur
nish the cost of deportation, includ-
ing the fare back home.
The Maritime Commission Is seri-
ously concerned because it is real
lied that If this system Is allowed
to continue, the fleet now being built
to operate in this trade will not be
on equal grounds of competition and
will be baked from the start from
getting the business which by all
rights belongs to American ships.

this trade was carried in American

Scandinavian ships do not even have

At the present time, it was said
there are 1000 unemployed seamen

ENGLAND PUSHES
TRUCE FOR SPAIN.
I
Non-lntervention Group Is
Spurred on Troops
Withdrawal.
Bv the Associated Press.

Nv the Associated Press.
: LONDON, June Great Britain
urged the Nom intervention Sub
committee to greater speed today on
her proposal for Withdrawing foreign
troops from Spain, hoping to pave the
way quickly for truce in the Spanish
civil war.
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
was reported to have ordered fresh
diplomatic activity by Britain's rep-
resentatives in Spain, Czechoslovakia,
Germany and France to safeguard
Europe's peace.
Britain has made no actual moves
either toward government or insur-
gent Spain for q truce, but informed
sources disclosed she was considering
the possibility of bringing represent
atives from Barcelona and Burgos to-
gether.
Obstacle TO Plan Removed.
One obstacle to the Chamberlain
program was removed today when
Soviet Russia, receding from her pre-
vious position, agreed to the British
plan for withdrawal OF foreign troops
from Spain on condition that "effec-
tive sea control" be enforced.
Samuel Kagan. Russian member of
the Non-interveption Subcommittee.
announced this concession. but added
that "the Soviet government must
reiterate It's proposal that inter-
national observers be permanently
stationed in Spanish ports"
The subcommittee adjourned to
meet again June 10.
General agreement on withdrawal
Of foreigners from the Spanish armies
would simplify Britain's task in ar
ranging an armistice.
Spanish Was Near 3 Years Old.
Her decision to make the attempt was
influenced largely by the belief that
Spain's war, now. almost two years
old. was the major threat to peace
and other issues could be wiped clear
II 1t were settled.

cisco Franco to London's protest over

The reply expressed regret and
promised d full investigation, but
declared It was "misapprehension
for London to believe British shipping
was picked deliberately as targets for
attack.
The cabinet was understood to hove
approved Chamberlain's two-fold
plans:
y /. To bring the Spanish government
and Spanish Insurgents together in .
round-table peace conference, a course
which uriconiirmed reports said Premier
Benito Mussolini Of Italy already has
approved.
2. Negotiation Of solution OF the
difnculties between the Czechoslovak
governments and its minority Of SUI
detan Germans who have the pledged
protection" Of Chancellor Adolf Hit
Ter Of Germany.
Hope Based on Two Factors. 3e
The governments hope OF mediating
the Spanish civil war was based on
two factors.
/. The belief In influential quarters
that many Spsniards ON both sides OF
the conflict are sick of war and would
welcome q peace parley.
2. Dsnnite signs Of progress toward
obtaining withdrawal Of foreign vol
unteers fighting in the war.
Soundings on a peace conference
were understood already to have been
made both at Burgos, seat of General
issino Frances insurgent government,
and at Barcelona, Spanish government
capital.
Foreign Minister Viscount Halifax
was reported to have reviewed the
question with the Spanish Ambassa-
dar, Pablo de Azcarate Florez, last
night.
The French foreign minister, Georges
Bonnet, was said to have discussed the
same question with the Spanish Am
bassador in Paris.
Some quarters said Britain favored
as possible basis for a peace parley
the f3-point program for the Spain
of the future advanced May l by
Premier Juan Negrin of the Spanish
government.
This program included a guarantee
OF civil, social and religious liberty,
assurance Of absolute independence OF
Spain from foreign powers. riddence
OF foreign military forces, agrarian
reforms to eliminate feudal aristo-
cratic landowners, guarantee Of
workers rights through social legisla-
tion and full amnesty for all Span
iards who co-operated In reconstruc-
ton.
The British government, in order to
work out its plan, was prepared to
advocate formation of a postwar
Spanish government from among men
who have taken no active part in the
bitter conflict.
