Nationalist Armed Vessel Wrecks Loyalist Steamship

London, Nov. 3.-(UP)-A report was circulated today that Spanish Nationalist armed auxiliary vessel which attacked and wrecked the Loyalist steamship Cantabria off the east coast yesterday, was seeking politically important" members of the crew. Comdr. Edward w. Har- rison, honorary agent of the Ship wrecked Mariners society, said he gathered from talking to Capt Manuel Arguelles, the Cantabria's master, that the ship was chased deliberately because certain mern- bers of its crew were politically im- portant to the Nationalists.
 Jose Lopez, an English speaking member of the crew, said:
 Tt was a fascist plot. Someone disloyal to us must have given secret information to Nationalist spies. The ship which attacked us, the Nation alist Auxiliary Nadir, was lying in wait for us and obviously knew when we would be passing along the Norfolk coast" The Cantabria was drifting in the North Sea today, g derelict and 2 menace to naviga- ton.

San Angelo, Tex, Nov. 3-(UP)- Two men and @ woman, captured by a West Texas posse and charged with armed robbery, were identified today as relatives or followers of the old Hamilton and Barrow brothers gang-the worst of the southWeSt'S modern outlaws.
 Authorities believed that the cap- lures had ended new alliance of the old gangs survivors at its outset.
 The prisoners were Joe Carson, "A, brother-in-law of the late Ray mond Hamilton; Ollie Miner Smith, a police character and once a fol- lower of the Hamilton Barrow gang, and a 21 year old woman believed to be Marie Barrow Francis, sister of the late Clyde and Buck Barrow.
 All three had been living lately in Dallas. There had been no indica- tions that they had teamed up and headed into the western part of the state, preying ground for generations of outlaws, until the posse of 40 men brought them to jail.
 The posse was hunting bandits who took 8 car from 8 ranch woman after abandoning one stolen at Dal- las. They caught the three suspects near Eden, in Concho county. Will Fritz, Dallas police inspector, said that Mrs. Francis, the ''baby" of the Barrow family, and wife of a law-abiding Dallas man, apparently raA away with Carson when he re- turned to Dallas after completing a prison term for robbery. Carson had been divorced by Audrey Ham,

FRANK 'THEEEL'
 HASSURRENDERED
Walks Into Police Station at New Haven Very Early
 This Morning

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 3.-(UP). Frank "The Eel" Bednarczyk, 20, who escaped county jail while await ing transfer to states prison to serve IS to 20 year term for armed rob- bery, walked into police headquar- terS early today and announced to the desk sergeant:
 T believe you are looking for me-"
 Since he fled through an unbolted door at the jail last Saturday, Bednarczyk said he had been to To- ledo, Ohio, in a stolen automobile, and he decided to return because he feared he might be shot by po- lice.
 T know when I'm licked" he told detectives. Besides, also had some good advice on the matter"
 The youth was an alleged accom- plice of Thomas Coyne who last week was sentenced to life imprison- ment for staying a police officer.
 His escape from jail started con- troversy between High Sheriff J. Ed- ward Slavin and the county com- miSsionerS as to whether sufficient guards were maintained at the in- Stitution.
 When Bednarczyk fled, another prisoner, James Buteau, g, Meriden, followed him but was found hiding in the doorway of nearby house.
 The jail brake added another 1 to 3 years sentence today to the IS to 20 years Frank "The Eel" must serve in states prison for arm ed robbery.

Mrs. Fran cis had no police record but authori- ties had been hunting her for week as a witness against S. J. (Baldy) Whatley, charged with attempt to murder.

British people the incident was only a portent Hardly a month after the Munich agreement, the Spanish .NationaliStS had taken their war to near-BritiSh waters and BritonS ashore had heard the sound of guns in action for the first time since the World War.
 Of the 36 persons aboard the Can- tabria, the captain, his wife, their two children and @ steward were landed by a British lifeboat at Cromer. Eleven men were taken aboard the British steamship Pat tersonian, which was passing the scene of the sinking, and landed at Yarmouth. The remaining 20 were believed aboard the National ist ship. <
 The Cantabria was owned by the Loyalist, government. It was under charter to the Mid-Atlantic Ship ping company of this country, but it flew the Loyalist flag and there was nothing for British authorities to do. However, the British navy escort vessel Penzance was sent to the scene yesterday to see that both ships kept out of British waters. It was an incident in which the Loyalist ship could not fire a shot. Its crew abandoned the ship when 1t was in sinking condition.

 Washington, Nov. 3-CUP)-New Deal issues or pensions plans domi- nate the most spectacular state cam paigns today in the final burst of general election activity.
 In such states as Ohio, New York, Michigan and Pennsylvania the New Deal issue is on top and voting Nov. 8 will be referendum on off-year Roosevelt administration popularity.

LIQUOR
 DEALERS TO ACT
Appeal to Supreme Court or Ask Leniency of State
 Commission

Two courses of action were avail able today to the three liquor deal- CTS whose appeals from license re- vacations were denied yesterday by Superior Court Judge Earnest C.. Simpson. Both were under con- sideration by Attorney Thomas F. McGrath, counsel for the Connec- ticut Liquor Dealers Association, who represents the Waterburians in the litigation.
 Either an appeal to the supreme court of errors or motion to the liquor control commission for modi- fication of the revocation may be made in behalf of the three men: George F. Mulligan of Phoenix ave- nue; Philip Becker of Bishop street and Hubert c. Kennan of Cherry street.
 Can Still Go On
 Pending the filling and disposition of either of these methods, the three liquor dealers will retain full privileges to continue operations, and sales.
 In view of the fact that the ap- peals from revocations were taken to the superior court with the sanc- tion of the liquor control commits sion, it is possible that special con- sideration would be given in the event the three dealers filed mo- tions with the commission for mod ification of the revocation.
 Commissioner Agreed
 The commission agreed that the appeals should be taken, in order that the courts might answer the

 States, Britain, France
BY RAY MARSHALL United Press Staff Correspondent


 Tokyo, November 3. = (UP) = Prince Fumimaro Konoye, the premier, in a speech broadcast to the nation today demanded a world new deal to establish peace on the principle of a fair balance of power. Inter preting and simplifying a previous government state ment of Chinese policy, Prince Konoye announced that if necessary Japan would extend its conquest to southwestern and northwestern China to crush resistance and pre- pare the way for Far Eastern sta- bility
 He reaffirmed the governments intention to insist on tripartite relationship of mutual aid and CO., ordination between Japan and Man. chukuo and China in the political, economic, cultural and other fields, 7 as the government statement had put it, and went on:
 "The world now needs establish ment of peace on a fair balance of power"
 Various principles in the past had forced maintenance of the status quo in an unbalanced state, he. said.
 That international treaties like the co, enant of the League of Ma tions have lost their prestige, is fundamentally due to this irration- ality.
 New Peace Fabric
 Without making international justice a written code, new peace fabric must be formed which can keep pace with the progress of his- tory, with a comprehensive view point concerning all phases of hu- man life = commerce, emigration, natural resources, culture.
