FAIRBANKS, Alaska. July 10 R.-
Fair weather. Mrs. Wiley Post and
an excited city were ready today to
greet Howard Hughes, flying sports
man, on his world-girdling fight.
Civic omcials, headed by Mayor
Leslie Nerland, labored shoulder to
shoulder with airport workers in
marking out the much-used field anew
and preparing it for the big silver
monoplane.
The Weather Bureau promised con-
tinued clear, warm weather, which
should improve from the Bearing Sea
area eastward here and into interior
Alaska. A moderately low ceiling"
over the sea and near Nome, 500
miles west of here, should give way to
high ceiling and broken clouds.
Weather Observer r. L. Frost said.
BY a coincidence, Mrs Post, who
left Lubbock, Tex, several weeks ago
on a trip to Barrow, Alaska, to dedi-
cate a memorial there to her late
husband and Will Rogers, arrived
here yesterday from Juneau by plane,

LONDON, July 13.-Pr1me Minister
Neville Chamberlain told the House
of Commons today Britain was mot
prepared to acquiesce in repetition of
attacks Of a certain character" on
British shipping in Spanish waters.
He also disclosed that the govern
ment's effort to form an international
commission to investigate bombings
Of civilian cities in Spain had been
unsuccessful. Another announcement
was that Sir Robert Hodgson. British
agent in insurgent Spain, would stay
in London for "the present"
AlmeriA Unacceptable"
Mr.. Chamberlain said Britain had
rejected as unacceptable" inslrgent
Gen. Frances suggestion that Almeria
be made an immune" port for Brit
ish merchantmen in government
Spain.
Disclosing q new note from Gen.
Franco insisting that his flyers had
not bombed British ships deliberately.
the prime minister reiterated that
ships trading in ports in the war zone
must accept the risks which are an
inevitable result of war"
He went on to say. however, that
while any military action in such cir
cumstances is thus precluded, hts
majesty's government are not prepared
to acquiesce in repetition of attacks
of certain character.
Discussing the international COM
mission to investigate bombings OF
civilians, he said the scheme. in which
the United States, France, Norway,
Sweden and later the Netherlands had
been invited to Join, had been found
impossible"
Instead, he said, Britain would send
q British mission of two men to Spain.
The United States declined Britains
invitation and Sweden followed suit.
Franco Leading Valencia Attack.
HENDAYE, France, July 13 (R.-
Insurgent Generalissimo Franco was
reported today to have taken personal
command of unified army OF 20O,-
900 men for a grand offensive against
Valencia from three directions.
During a comparative lull in the
fighting yesterday he was said to have
effected coordination between Gen.
Miguel Aranda's corps on the eastern
flank near the Mediterranean coast,
Gen. Garcia Valino's central CORPS in
the Espadan Mountains and Gen. Jose
Varela's western-flank corps south
and north Of Teruel.
Opposing these, Government Gen.
Jose Miaja was said to have massed
more than 250,000 men, with 200, 900
concentrated along the strategic high
way and railroad from Mora de Ru-
bielos to Sagunto, junction of the
Castellon-Valencia and Teruel-Medi-
terranean highways IA miles north of
Valencia.

for reorganization. Valencia dis

Mr.. Lodwick said the flyers would

say. To the question about the re-
organization bill, he replied that the
answer was the same.
Nevertheless there was strong IN
direct light on Mr.. Roosevelt's MOOD.
He was in a mood. quite definite
one. Throughout the press confer
ence he repeatedly answered ques-
tions with one short word, the two
letter negative He spoke the word
emphatically. loudly, almost explo-
sivelv. To one question. about story
in the newspapers. Mr.. Roosevelt's
reply was the traditional euphemism
for a short and forceful word-he
used the familiar phrase "out Of the
whole cloth"
Mr.. Roosevelt was truculent at this
press conference-and that is likely
to be his continuing mood so long
as the tension between him and Con-
gress lasts. If he does not let the
public see this mood, in his future
speeches and otherwise, 1t will be be-
cause he, on the urging of advisers,
will have achieved apparent equa-
nimity.
Let the Cattle Fatten.
Many of the questions at the press
conference were about printed stories
that President Roosevelt had passed
words" with Vice President Garner.
One of the stories had said that Mr..
Garner had given Mr.. Roosevelt ad-
vice about business-advice in the
form of an allegory. in which busi-
ness was likened to herd Of cattle
on the range. The cattle had been
SO harried and driven about that they
were nervous. jittery. lean. Mr.. Gar
ner. according to the story had adj
vised the President to give the ami
mails some peace, take on little fat.
The story has now been denied.
But if that story really was invented
by some newspaper man, that news
paper man ought to be elevated to
"pronto," as the Vice President would
say. Rarely has allegory ever been
so pat Rarely has a country's need
been expressed so wildly. The real
importance here lies not in the ques-
ton whether Mr.. Garner is the au-
thor Of that allegory but in the fact
that Mr.. Roosevelt resented the allie
CORY.
RooSevelt's Manner UnreveaIed
AS respects the relations between
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. Garner, one
new fact was brought out. Mr.. Roose-
welt said that he questioned Mr.. Gar
ner about the story, asked him wheth-
er he had seen it. He said that Mr.
Garner replied. Yes. damn it!' Mr..
Roosevelt said that Mr.. Garner denied

Roosevelt or to any newspaper man.
What was Mr.. Roosevelt's manner
with Mr.. Garner-whether he smiled
or whether he let Mr.. Garner under
stand he was being called on the car
pet-about that Mr.. Roosevelt did not
tell us.
But let us get away from this trivia
OF personal relations. The publicly
important fact is that Mr.. Garner-I
hope I won't get in trouble for this-is
gravely disturbed about the course of
this Government For saying this I
have no direct authority. I have the
information from sources that ought
to know Mr.. Gamers mind. They
say that Mr.. Garner is especially dis
turbed about the sit-doWn strikes, and
the extravagant spending. with it's La
bility of national disaster. About
these two things Mr.. Garner is even
more disturbed than he was about the
Presidents proposal to change the su-
preme Court.
Others Disturbed, Too.
Mr.. Garner is disturbed and other
Democratic leaders are disturbed.
They try not to let it be known that
they are as disturbed as they are They
wish to keep their disquiet within the
family. Primarily their concern is
for the country. Secondarily 1t is for
their party.
They are punctilious about Mr..
Roosevelt's personal feelings and about
his public prerogatives. AS respects
the latter, they wish nothing more
than to confine the President to being
President. They wish to get back for
Congress its proper function and dig
nifty. If Texas allegories had not be-
come dangerous. one might say the
Democratic leaders would like to per.
suade Mr.. Roosevelt to stop galloping
around loose on the range. and come
in and work in double harness with
Congress.
In this respect, the Democratic
leaders have made some progress. Mr.
Roosevelt no longer sends measures to
Congress- as he did his court measure,
written out to the last comma He
no longer has toward Congress the
manner of a man clapping his hands
to call page and saying urgently,
Here, boy, pass me bill
Leaders Consulted.
The attitude of the Democratic
leaders in Congress, including Mr..
Garner. has brought about in recent
months system in which the leaders
call at the White House each Monday
forenoon to discuss legislation and
policies. 1t was at one OF these con-
ferences that Mr.. Garner was said to
have told the now-denied allegory
about letting the animals take on a
little fat. At another occurred the
likewise now denied objection of Mr..
Garner to heavy spending policy.
A function of Mr.. Roosevelt which
greatly troubles the party leaders is
the headship of the Democratic party.
That President in Office is head of
his party is time-honored rule. The
Democratic leaders do not like to ques-
ton it, for they rest their whole posi-
ton on conformity to rule Yet they
know that many of Mr.. Roosevelt's ac-
tions and policies are as distant as
possible from Democratic principles
and traditions. If they could have
their wish, they would probably like
to put the Democratic leadership un-
der what might be termed a friendly.

Whether Mr.. Roosevelt will adjust

The answer can hardly be in much

dealing with equals, or with men who

prefers to take the suggestions of, per-
