LOYALISTS HINT
 AT REPRISALS
ViscOunt Halifax Informed Last Night-May Mean
 Move Against Italy

London, June 25-UP)-Loyal- ist Spain has threatened drastic re- prisals unless the Nationalists stop bombing open cities and has hint ed that the reprisals may extend to points outside Continental Spain, it was said today in usually re- liable quarters.
 The warning was conveyed by Pablo De Azcarate, Spanish Loy- alist ambassador, to Viscount Hali- fax, foreign secretary, last night.
 Azcarate visited Halifax at the foreign office unexpectedly. Ac- cording to responsible informants he conveyed warning in grave terms that if the airplanes operat- ing in behalf of the Nationalists did not stop bombing open cities that is, cities which are not prim- arily of military importance-the Republican government would or der immediate and severe reprisals.
 Informants said that Azcarate hinted guardedly that the Loyal ists in executing any reprisals might not confine themselves to such Ma tionalist cities as Burgos and Sala- manca but extend the reprisal zone to include points from which the raiding planes were believed to come.
 The Loyalists have made no se- cret of their belief that Italian airplaneS have taken leading part in the bombing of Mediter- ranean cities and that the planes come from the Balearic Islands. The Balearics, in turn, lie between Spain and Sardinia, where Italy has a great airplane base. The Loyalists have frequently bombed military objectives in the Balearic Islands, Hence, the question was left open whether Azcarate meant to invite the inference that any re- prisal raids might be extended not only beyond Continental Spain but beyond the Balearics. The Balearic Islands lie ITO miles off the East ern coast of Spain. Sardinia is 500 miles away from the coast.

Legion Comrades Make Pilgrimage To Seeger's
 Rendezvous With Death

Seeger answered through his teeth. Have you any water?"
 Keep calling, I'll throw you my canteen in the direction of your voice. I'm paralyzed and can't move my legs" Delpeuch an- swered.
 Seeger called:
 God, Mother. God how I suf- fer"
 Delpeuch threw his canteen in the direction, but, paralyzed, his movement failed and the water fell short between the two. The movement caused Delpeuch to faint. "
 "As I came to at intervals dur ing the night I heard the shells still falling and I heard Alan," Delpeuch recalled.
 When morning came I called to him again, but got no answer. He must have died. I crawled on my elbows for 200 yards through the wheat, being helpless with my legs. I heard Germans and was picked up by German prisoners and Arab stretcher bearers behind the French lines. The legion had taken Belloy, but a hundred were killed"
 Signal for Aid Unseen
 Records show that Delpeuch was actually "A hours in the field before he dragged himself to help. Seeger was found the next day by a burial party. He was half undressed and had tried to bind his wound. His rifle was stuck in the ground by its bayonet and around the butt was tied a strip of cloth to attract aid.
 It was by night, by the light of a pocket electric light that he was hastily recognized. He was lying on his side dead, with his knees drawn up. Stretcher bearers buried the body in the one big grave made for the regiment where lie hundreds of bodies. It was on the side of Hill 76 to the south of Belloy- -Santerre.
 The Hill has disappeared, but another ASsevillers has risen from the hamlet outside Belloy where the legion fought off the attack. Starting at Assevilliers, Delpeuch will attempt to follow the line of action, across the ravine, through the wheat fields. He will try, with the aid of old farmers of the re- zion, to reconstitute the terrain and find the spot where the grave yard on the hill should be

The men and women of 1858 Will be representative of all that is best in Swedish life and of all classes of society, from Crown Prince Gus tav Adolf and the Grown Princess to notable delegates of the Trades Union Congress. Their vessel will be the luxury liner Kungsholm. Their only danger will be the pos sibility of fatigue from the eager hospitality that will be lavished upon them.
 Sweden is participating in the tercentenary of the first Swedish colonies in the United States in a big way. First, popular subscrlp- tion was taken up for a fund with which to build an enduring monu- ment at Wilmington, Del. The celebrated Swedish sculptor, Carl Miles, was given the task of pro- ducing the permanent memorial. It will be of black granite representing the Calmar Nyckel. Around the pillar will be depicted scenes from the life of the first Swedish col onists in the New World.
 To dedicate this monument del- egation of 26 will be sent. Be- sides Crown Prince Gustav Adolf, who will head it, there will be among others, Arthur Engberg, Minister of Education; Janne Nils son, Minister of Defense; Johan Nilsson, President of the upper chamber of the Riksdag; A. Sav- strom, President of the lower chamber of the Riksdag; Owe Ols- son, representing the Trades Uni on Congress; Gunnar Myrdal, Pro- lessor of Economies in the Univer- sity of Stockholm; Knut Landmark, Professor of Astronomy in the Uni versity of Lund and a number of bishops of the established church of Sweden.
 In addition to the regular dele gates, the Kungsholm will have on board hundreds of prominent SWedes who are coming over for the celebration. The ship will sail from Gothenberg June IT and will move in as close to Whining ton as possible. The delegation will be greeted at Wilmington on June 27 by President Roosevelt.
 After the unveiling of the me- morial monument and the conclu- sion of the Wilmington festivities, the delegates will board the Kungsholm and travel up to Philadelphia, which the Swedes also originally settled. A program has been fixed there for June 28, 29 and 30. Trips to Illinois, Wis consin, Minnesota and the Dakotas where so many men and women of Swedish blood have settled and prospered, may also be undertaken

 HOODED ORDER
Banned Rightist Group, Cross of Thunder, Was
 Tricked By Pig

Riga, Latyia, June g - (UP) - Court proceedings will begin soon against B members of the illegal ultra rightist and Chauvinist or- ganization, The Cross of Thunder.
 This organization, after being suppressed by the government, continued its activities underground despite the arrest of many active members and the leader, Gustav Zelmin.
 Thus, to prove to the public that the last had not been heard from it, the Cross of Thunder deposited an internal machine next door to the foreign ministry. A passerby was injured severely by the explo- sion.
 Pig Featured in Case
 Last year on Latvia's national holiday, May 15, the Cross of Thunder enlisted the aid of pig, upon whose sides and trump Sub- versive slogans had been painted. in the continuation of its propa- ganda. The pig was turned loose on Riga's main street, but with no desire to abet political demonstra- tions, the animal disappeared into the nearest doorway. The grunting agitator was apprehended in the courtyard.
 By tracing the pigs ownership police were put on the trail of the leading members of the society and were able to surprise them in their headquarters.
 Oath Signed in Blood The Cross of Thunder made use of all the panopoly and ritual of the dime novel to assure faithful ness of its members. The uniform consisted of black mask and black hooded cloak. The oath uf loyalty was signed in blood on the photograph of the leader and the secret sign was branded on the forearms of the members, each of whom carried card in his pocket testifying that he had committed suicide"
 The Cross of Thunder employed secret radio station and an ex- pert on explosives and pyrotech- nics, who built the internal ma chimes in the furtherance of its schemes.
 Investigation of the society con- tinued for a year and the states attorney has assembled 54 wit nesses and eight experts for the trial.

LEADING LIGHTS OF SWEDEN TO SHINE IN U. s. PAGEANT
Grown Prince and Other High Officials Join Wilmington and Philadelphia
 In HOnoring 3OOYearOd Memory of Americas Swedish Coonsts
BY MILTON BRONNER

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 London, June 25-This summer, just 300 years after a small band of Swedish emigrants sailed for what is now the United States and founded colonies, first in Delaware and later in Pennsylvania, another band of Swedes will leave their native country to set foot on Amer ican soil.
 The men and women of 1638 were hardy folk who left their na- tive land to build a new home for themselves and, as they hoped, a new Sweden for their Queen. Their vessel was a little sail boat, the Calmar Nyckel. They faced the dangers of an unknown country and the possible menace, not only of disease and famine, but of h. dians.

Do You Know

Do you get the full value of your porterhouSe steak or is the end-piece unpopular - leftover for hash, perhaps There is a way to prevent this needless waste of expensive meat. Next time you buy 8 porterhouse, tell your butcher to remove the end or Hang section, leaving the fatty strip still at- tached to the steak; have him grind the end-piece, then form 1t into a outlet and place 1t in its original position, securing it with skewer. Broil as you would the whole steak and every bit of the porterhouse will be enjoyable.
 And do you know the differ ence between porterhouse, T.bone and club steaks? The T-bone is a continuation of the porterhouse, but smaller; the club steak has no ten- derloin, as found in T-bone and porterhouse, and also is slightly smaller than either.
 The pin-bone steak is a sirloin cut from the loin end of roundd of beef after the pin bone is reached. It may be Tt eated in much the same way as the porter house by having the butch CT remove the bone and fill the cavity with ground beef.
 The top-round is the best to buy when ordering roundsteak. The bot tom round is usually larded and used for pot roast.
 Refrigerator ice cream recipes usually differ from the old-fash- toned freezer type made by stirring in that whipped cream, condensed milk, eggs, gelatin, custard, corn starch or some other pudding powder is added to help along the smooth texture.
 A better texture is also obtained by removing the mixture once or twice during freezing and whipping air into it.
