NEUTRALITY LAW REPEAL URGED
Ex=President Hoover Says Prospect of European
 War Not Immediate

New York, March 29-(UP) - Former President Herbert Hoover returned today from an extended tour of Europe and recommended that the neutrality law be repealed and that the president be given authority to determine Americas s relationship with warning nations.
 MT. Hoover returned on the French liner Normandie. He said he believed that th,re was no immedi- ate prospect of any European war.
 "The spirit I found after visiting IA countries was one of defense and not offense," he said.
 No country that I know of is ready in the way of military prepa rationS, and the development of arms has favored defense on land in the past 20 years so that any country would hesitate to move an army on the offensive"
 Commenting on affairs of the United States during his absence, the former president said he de- plored the senates passage of the governmental reorganization bill.
 T do not share the belief, how ever, of some critics who think that it is equivalent or nearly equivalent to dictatorship" he said. q think it is too bad that this bill has been passed, especially in regard to the change in the comptroller-general's office and in the civil service, and also in giving the president more

 HELPING HAND
Mexico to Feel Pressure for Its Oil Properties
 Appropriation

Washington, March 29-(UP)- The United States today withdrew the helping hand which for years has assisted Mexico in solving her political, financial and economic troubles.
 The United Press learned from an unimpeachable source that until the Mexican government offers a satis- factory solution to questions created by it's appropriation of foreign oil properties, increasing financial economic pressure will be applied from this side of the border.
 The discontinuance by the United States of it's silver agreement with Mexico, and the reduction of it's New York purchasing rrice for Sil- yer from 45 to A cents an tunce, is merely first step in application of this pressure, responsible off. cial said.
 The entire United States good neighbor" program with regard to Mexico, which included plans for settlement of all outstanding dis putes and problems between the two countries, has been suspended pending the outcome of the oil problem, it was said.
 The Mexican governments action in applying the appropriation law to foreign-o oil properties. valued at $450,000,000, was described. as the Hast straw" insofar as the admin

UTILITIES ACT
 ON REGISTRATION
SEC Completing Program for Regulation of Hold
 ing Co. System

Washington, March 29 - (UPo- The Securities and Exchange Con- mission backed by a favorable su- preme court decision, moved today to complete it's program for regula- tion of the $l5,500,000 public utility holding company system.
 Although it's path has been clear ed by the courts ruling upholding the registration provision of the public Utility Holding Company Act of 1885, the commission planned to advance slowly at first in anticlpa- ton of voluntary compliance with the law by companies still unregis- tered.
 Up to March l, there were 43 pub lie utility holding company systems registered with the secretary. These organizations, according to thtNr last balance sheets, had consolidated as- sets totaling $6,805, 100000, repre- senting approximately A per cent of the aggregate assets of all pub lie utility holding companies.
 Within two hours after the deci- sion, three companies, representing total assets of $l,406, ,287 ,00O regis tered. They were the Commonwealth and Southern Corporation, United Corporation, and the United Tele- phone and Electric Corporation. The Commonwealth and Southern, with assets of $1,162,O 100000 is the second largest holding company in it's field, being exceeded only by the N orth American Company. which register ed with the SEC several months ago.
 Among the major firms which the commission expects to register shortly, are the Associated Gas and Electric Company, with Consolidat- ed assets of $1 ,038, ,600,275; Standard Gas and Electric Company, with assets of $899,668, ,102; American Power and Light Company, $844,- 8O3, 1856; United Gas Improvement Company. $817,491, TSP: Electric Power and Light Company. $70O,- 73l,742; National Power and Light Company, $615,519,469: American Gas and Electric Company, $463,- 924,055 and Consolidated Electric and Gas Company $138,979. .963.

Youngsters Complain of Illness-Father Calls It
 Spring Sickness

 GAS STOVE BLAMED
River St. Home Scene of Close Call-Youngster
 Sent From School

Their father, Anthony Tata, of Fl River street, thought that the boys didn't want to go to school. They said they felt sick just after breakfast today at the Tata home, and MT. Tata, who has raised thirteen children, thought he knew the symp- toms, a warm, sunshiny day in spring, and so forth. It was 8::30 o'clock. But the boys, Anthony, Jr., II, and Fred, 9, were suffering from the effects of carbon monoxide gas, which soon permeated the Tata home and af- fected other members of the family, MT. and Mrs. Tata and little Rich ard, 3.
 Hrs. Tata had been heating water in large washboiler placed over two jets on the kitchen stove. The gas was burning, went on auto- matically, in fact, but the secondary air could not reach the flames and the dangerous carbon monoxide fumes formed.
 Fred Tata fell to the ground out siGe the house as he started for school. Anthony returned from sckool, sent home when he com plained of being sick.
 The gas company was called and the service department employe ex- plained to the family about the smothering of the flame which caused the deadly fumes, more com- monly formed by gasoline motors in automobiles.
 Dr. Rudolph Damiani also was called and prescribed for the three Tsta children. The boys huddled in coverings out in the bright sun light, recalling how sick they had been.
 q thought they just didn't want to go to school" MT. Tata, an en- ploye at the Scovill Mfg Co.,, re- marked later. You know how boys are"
 Mrs. Tata demonstrated how the accident had happened with the washboiler and members of the family expressed thankfulness that the gas had not formed during the night when they were all asleep and when the scentless gas might have proved fatal to everyone in the family.
 Besides the children overcome, there are several more living at home: Louis, 23; Josephine, 22;; Henry, 20; Nancy, 19; Edward, IT.; Walter, IA; Rosemarie, '; and ThereSe, 6.

NEW DEAL GAINS
 BY 2 OPINIONS
Broad Interpretation of In= terstate Commerce Law
 Believed Attained

Washington, March 29. - CUP)- The New Deal objective of a broad judicial interpretation of the con- stitution's interstate commerce clause was believed accomplished today.
 Students of jurisprudence saw in the two opinions delivered yesterday by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes proof that the objective had been reached. One upheld the reg istration provisions of the 1885 Pub lie Utility Holding Company Act; the other broadened the authority of the National Labor Relations Board.
 It was believed that the two rul- ings paved the way for future judi cial approval of such measures as the proposed wages and hour bill and the recently enacted farm aid bill. Some observers even felt that if the old agricultural adjustment act, invalidated by the court in 1886, was reviewed again, the court would uphold it.
 Observers generally believed that Ille CIldllBeu dlClGuuC O1 Cllc SOul toward the interstate commerce clause had been brought about by two factors substitution of Justices Hugo l.. Black and Stan ley F. Reed for retired Justices Willis Van Devanter and George Sutherland and sentiment result ing from the administrators three year campaign to "liberalize" the court.
 That campaign, it was agreed, be- gan with President Roosevelts now famous morse and buggy" press conference after the court had in- validated the NRA. and reached It's climax in last years battle over the Presidents plans to enlarge the courts membership.
 Whether or not these events had any effect upon the court, it was pointed out that the administration has not lost a major legal battle since January l. 1887.

Two Fierce Units Battle as NatiOnaliSts Rush Into
 Catalonia

Hendaye, Franco-Spanish F'ron- tier, March 29 - (U.P0 - Dyna- miteros, savage units from the min- ing regions Of Northern Spain, were thrown today into the path of the Nationalist's equally fierce fighting Moroccans on the road to Lerida, a key city in the Nationalist drive into Catalonia.
 Reports received on the border said that the miners were contest ing every inch of the way with their dynamite SlingS, which were used with such costly effect on the NatlonaliSts in the Sieges of B.l- bao and Oviedo. But the National ists pressed on toward the walled city.
 Although Loyalists resistance was stitfening, the Moroccans were re- ported to have advanced to point on the Lerida highway from which they could see the towers of the an- cient city.
 Working with great haste, the dy-
 
 culverts along the road.
 The Nationalists renewed their drive from AlZarraz, only 8 miles from Lerida, according to National ist sources on the border.
 Nationalist reports from the front radiated confidence that with the astonishing advance the National ists had made in the northeast-7O miles in four days-the civil war was in its final phase.
 Nationalist aviators were reported to have observed white flags flying all over the Lerida and the Nation alist radio asserted that urgent or derS had been given for evacuation of all civilians from the city.
 A report published by the Daily Express in London alleged that General Sebastian Pozas, Loyalis. commander in chief in the north east, had been relieved of his con- mand.
 The Loyalists, however, reported a stiffening of their line and ad- mitted no loss of ground in the last 24 hours. It was admitted that positions changed hands frequently in ferocious hand to hand fighting. But confidence was expressed that the main lines would hold.
 These reports from the Loyalists did not necessarily conflict with Nationalist reports of occupation of number of villages, as these were now really behind the Nationalist lines, having been left for mopping up units while shock troops moved ahead as fast as possible at selected points on the 120-mile battle line.
 Though infantrymen had been able to cross the Cinca river into Catalonia in force in the Fraga sector, the Loyalists had blown up bridges behind them here and at other points and the Nationalists at some points had to build pontoon bridges for their artillery. This necessarily slowed the advance.
 Loyalists asserted that their strongest forces were massed in the Alcaniz sector toward the south of
