THUMB PRINT
PUZZLED FBI
ENTERTAINER BENSON SET
EXPERTS BACK ON
THEIR FEET"

There's one bureau of the u. S.
Government that usually is pretty
sure of itself in all of its trans
actions, and that is the Bureau
of Identification. The public is
repeatedly told that no ones
finger or thumb prints are the
same, and millions of files are
produced to prove their point.
Further, the bureau says that
every person has distinguishing
thumb prints-whorls, as they are
called.
1t took Herb Benson, feature
entertainer and producer now ap-
pearing at Sloppy Joe's Famous
Bar here in Key West, to set the
experts back on their heels" as
it were, and it came about in this
wise:
AS an applier for a license at
a northern cafe, Mr.. Benson was
Obliged to have his fingers and
thumbs printed for identified
ton. The deed was performed,
and that was that. But, when Of
ficials examined the right thumb
print. they were puzzled, for
nothing like a right thumb print
showed on the print
Investigation brought out the
fact that Herb has what is called
"a Siamese mating of thumb
lines. His thumb is really two
thumbs with two distinct nails
and double bones from the first

MARCH OF GENERAL FRANCO Is
NOW BEING ANXIOUSLY WATCHED
By MORGAN M. BEATTY
APP Feature Service Writer

run the country better than his
chief.
3 Franco would pay back"
Mussolini and Hitler for the
many thousands of volunteers
and the millions of dollars
worth of equipment they have
! sent him.
The Insurgent leaders first step
in foreign policy might be to pro-
claim the independence of Spain
and emphasize her friendship for
Germany and Italy.
This presumably would bolster
the prestige of European dictator
ships by increasing their num-
Der, but, for popular Spanish con-
sumption, deny that Franco had
traded Spain's independence for
Italian and German assistance in
his war against the republic.
Next Franco presumably would
make economic concessions to the
dictator nations, probably allow
ing them to exploit some of
Spain's natural resources, and
throwing their way as much trade
as war-drained nation could
give the "have-not" nations.
Franco is expected to make Sc
cret military treaties with Ger
many and Italy to cover eYentu-
alities in case of a general Euro
pean war. He might permit troops
to pass through Spain and let
Germany and Italy establish Sc
cret naval bases on SPANS Med
iterranean coast.
Such concessions would men
ace France in two ways. Troop
passage would force her to patrol
three borders-the Spanish, Ital-
ian and German. Naval bases in
the Spanish Mediterranean would
threaten to cut off communica-
ton with her north African
colonies.
4. AS the inevitable penalty
of civil war. Franco would
have to turn to an outside
power 10 get money TO re-
habilitate his country and run
his new government. and the
! natural spots for credit would
be London and New York.
British and American observers
seem to think those nations hold
trump card in an economic
game with Mussolini and Hitler
in Spain. After all, Hitler and
Mussolini are clamping down to
! keep money in their countries. AT
! the same time, London is looking
: for places to invest money and
the United States is willing to
/ pay cash for Spain's cork and
olive oil. Franco will be sorely
tempted to carry water on both
shoulders.

WASHINGTON, April T.
Heads of governments all over
the world are anxiously watching
General Francisco Franco
march to the sea and asking their
experts-confidentially-to guess
the train of events in the wake OF
a final nationalist victory In
Spain. 80"
The guesses are confidential
because mo- government is willing
publicly to count other peoples
chickens before they're Matched.
Naturally, the guessers don't
agree on details, but enough of
their opinions have leaked out in
democratic capitals to make a
composite of the scene after
Franco wins-if he does.
Possible Developments
Here are four big developments
the guessers expect in the wake
of Insurgent success:
l. Methodical. red sashed
General Franco would scrap
the seven-Year- old republic
that succeeded the Bourbon
monarchy in 1891. and himself
assume absolute control of
New Spain.
- Franco has indicated he's not
set on any one form of govern
ment, so long as he holds the
reins. Most interpreters think,
however, he probably favors res
toration of a Bourbon king as a
veneer for his own dictatorship.
2. Firm suppression of re-
publican remnants.
Since the world flung Spanish
empire crumbled 200-odd years
ago. SPANS history has been one
page after another of intrigue and
revolt. Her several classes range
from out-and-out royalists to an
archists who want as little gov
eminent as possible, and that in
the hands of labor. In between
are the militant Catholic party,
the Masonic groups, socialists,
communists, and others, none of
which has much in common with
the rest.
Successful rulers of modern
Spain have been men who ruled
with an iron hand, like Dictator
Primo de Rivera who modernized
the country in the prosperous
nineteen twenties. If Franco
would rule, he must suppress the
so-caIled red" opposition, some
of which is composed of moder-
ates, much like members of the
democratic and republican par
ties in this country. He also must
watch for revolt within his own
ranks. 1t is automatic in Spanish
politics that a military dictator is
in serious danger from some lieu
tenant or other who thinks he can
