 Gen. Franco Waits
 Diplomatic advices received in Paris showed that Gen. Francisco Franco was maintaining an unoffi- cial truce as he stood by during the inner revolution in Madrid. Resist ing pressure from Hitler and Mus solini to open a carefully prepared grand offensive ot crush the Repub- lican army, the Nationalist leaders on the contrary ordered his troops to "ceaSe fire" until the outcome of the rebellion becomes apparent.
 Franco apparently believes Madrid will surrende virtually on his terms and therefore di dnot want to throw int oaction the planes, artillery and hundreds of thousands of men Wait- ing at the city's gates.
 According to apparently we'll founded reports, Hitler and Musso- lini would prefer to see the Republi- can army wiped out, because if it surrenders, elements of it would be incorporated in Spains peace time army, forming the nucleus of anti Fascist resistance which might ob- struct totalitarian hegemony in Spain.

 Plans Proposed By CIO
 The CLOS plan calls for new labor organization which would in- clude the AFL, the CIO, and the Independent Railroad unions. It was denounced by AFL committee members as "fanciful" and proposed for headline purposes" They said they were convinced 1t was not even designed for serious consider ation."

REGULAR OAR. IS

Newly Organized Group Has as Leader Recog=
 ized Reds Says Official

Boston, March B. (UP) - The Daughters of the American Revolu- tion chose today to remain aloof" to supposed revolt in it's ranks.
 In explaining that her organiza- tion would take no formal action, Mrs. Frank L. Mason of Scituate, D. A. R. registrar-general, said the leadership of the newly-formed descendants of the American Revo- lution had the general reputation" of being red"
 However, it's perfectly all right for group of men and women to organize a patriotic society with 8 platform to suit themselves" Mrs. Mason said.
 A call for organization of a Bos- ton unit of the descendants" group, formed two years ago in New York by Haywood Broun, Stuart Chase and Stark Young, was issued yester- day by Mrs. J. Anton de Haas of Belmont, wife of a Harvard profess sor, and Mrs. Edward Sohier Welch, wife of a Boston lawyer. The first meeting will be held at Mrs. Welch's home March 16.
 Mrs. de Haas resigned from the D. A. R. recently in protest against its refusal to permit Marian An- derson, Negro contralto, to use Constitution hall in Washington. Though Mrs. Welch never was D. A. R. member, she said she was eligi- ble but instead would apply for membership in the new group. Eligi- bility requirements in the descend ants" are the same as those in the D. A. R. and the Sons of the Ameri- can Revolution.
 Mrs. Welch said the organization of Boston unit of the new group was "symptomatic of the growing dissension in the D. A. R." which has become "too hide-bound and re- actionary."

 Controversy between unions and operators dating back to last Sep- tember became acute 10 days ago. It reached a deadlocx yesterday af- ternoon.
 Right to Hire, Fire
 The unions said the hotels de- manded an unqualified right to hire and fire without review and contest by the locals. At yesterdays con- ference the operators offered as a final concession" preferential shop" by which union workers would
