 The Identification was made by the victims brother, Vincent, who said he was called to the telephone yesterday and told If you're look ing for Angelo you'll find him Ill trouble in New Haven"
 Vincent and a friend came here from New York and informed police of the anonymous call. Taken to a morgue, Vincent collapsed after viewing his brothers body.
 Before the Identification was made, Samuel Frank, Bridgeport recalled Angelo as one of three ban dits who held up a Bridgeport ath- letic club on January 8, and robbed 12 men of $50.
 The slain bandit, police said, was on parole from a New York state penitentiary where he served five years of a 10-year term for rob- bery.

Republican Troops Fire Upon Loyalists
.(Continueo from Page l)

 Despite the purge" of Communists whom members of the council blamed equally with Negrin for con- tinuance of the war, both Madrid and Valencia were quiet and fairly normal, though strong troop guards were stationed at all key points.
 A special decree forbade driving of automobiles outside Madrid without special authorization signed by the general staff and the new director of interior and security.
 Old General in Command
 Blunt old General Miaja who won the love of republicans and the re- spect of the Nationalists by assum- ing command in Madrid in Novem- Der, 1886, when the cabinet had fled and Nationalist troops had reached the city suburbs, last night accepted supreme command of the new de- fense council, which consolidated it's position as an emergency govern ment of all republican territory.
 Immediately after last nights meeting General Miaja made his speech, following up the assertion of General Casado the previous night that the new defense council wanted pease as soon as possible.
 We will bring tranquality to Spanish homes, with peace" he said, but a peace as worthy as was the war, for during the struggle the honor of the republican arms was demonstrated"
 He continued with a reference which, it was indicated, was aimed against the Communists and Soviet Russia.
 We want the peace which coun- tries that called themselves friends of Spain wanted to postpone, thus prolonging this fratricidal fight in which thousands of our brothers have fallen due to delayed un- derstanding.
 We hope that after this war Spaniards will think of the peace and prosperity of our country and will not be drawn into another fight in which, whoever might De the con queror, it would be this country which will be the loser. Viva Espana!"
 Why Negrin Is Ousted
 Explaining the overthrow of the Negrin government, Miaja said that the defense council had simply taken charge without violence, since no section opposed the councils aims.
 we loyally interpreted the wishes of the Spanish people, who for a long time had been without a gov- ernment." he said.
 Here, again, he struck at the Con- munists.
 T know that people ask why we did not act before" he continued | Tt would have been possible for us to do so. But the attitude of cer- tain political artt made it impos- sible to effect the change without bloodshed, and this obliged us tc wait in order to avoid an interna war among the political parties. l "As it is, we betrayed nobody There was no government we coulc have betrayed. inasmuch as the so- l.called republican government toi Negrin) was not supported by the president.

LOYALIST FLEET
 GIVES UP BATTLE

 It was planned to intern the crews for the present.
 In the inner lake, the French sheltered the White Russia" fleet of Baron Wrangel, the Russian czarist general who fought the Bol- shevilzs in the civil war which fol- lowed the 1917 revolution. Fleeing from the Black sea, the fleet sought shelter at Bizerte, where it rusted away during the years.
 It was believed that some Repub- lican ships had surrendered them selves direct to the Nationalists at Mehlla, Spanish Morocco, and two Republican oil tankers from Mar seilles surrendered to the National ists at Barcelona yesterday.
 Included in the fleet which came here were three cruisers, six de- stroyers and two small mine sweep CTS. The cruisers were believed to be the Miguel de Cervantes, Liber- tad and Mendez Nunez.
 Erik Labonne, French resident general in Tunisia, postponed an in- spection trip of French defenses to receive the fleet today. He had taken all police and sanitary meas ures to receive both ships and men.
 Civilian refugees, as well as the ships were in French North Africa. Thirty officers and non-commis- stoned officers who had joined in the fleet revolt but had failed to reach their ships came by airplane Sunday Dolores Ibarrubi, the fiery Communist leader and vice presi- dent of parliament known as La Pasionara, arrived by airplane at Gran yesterday. Six Russians, pre- sumably Communists, were with her.
 Would Mediate
 London. March 7-UP)-Both Great Britain and France were re- ported today to have indicated their readiness to mediate in the Spanish civil war, but it was feared that Italy and Germany were urging the Nationalists to attack Madrid at once.
 The French government was un- derstood to have advised the new Madrid defense council that it was willing to act if desired.
 Diplomatic circles reported that Britain also had indicated readiness to act as mediator if both Republi- cans and Nationalists desire to use British channels to expedite peace m Spain.
 The Madrid defense council was believed eager to speed negotiations with Britain's aid but it was uncer-

Plus XII may say no softly. almost diffidently. But he knows how to say it, and once it is said it does not change into ''yes."
 While the late pope always spoke in a bold, fortnight manner in protest against totalitarian en- croachments, Plus XII who has spent half his life as a diplomat charged with the foreign affairs of the church, will speak in more deli cate terms but no less firmly.
 Far from lacking moral or physi- cal courage, churchmen here say, the new pope possesses the burning zeal with which martyrs are made.
 Plus XII is six feet tall and gaunt. His face is that of an ascetic.
 He never has smoked, and rarely sips at a glass of wine. He eats frugally-mainly eggs, fish and fruit --and is uninterested in new foods.
 He will feel keenly his confine- ment to the Vatican grounds. Be- fore he was elected Pope he. was accustomed to take long, vigorous walks in the Borghese Gardens where he was a familiar figure to thousands of Romans doing the same thing.
 Some time ago, when Pacelli - then Cardinal-was returning from the Castel Gandolfo to the Vatican in an automobile, the chauffeur swerved to avoid hitting child on the road. The auto struck en- bankment. Pacelli was unhurt save for a badly bumped head.
 Asked by friend whether the experience was not frightening Pacelli replied, T didn't know it was happening. I was engrossed in A book. I always read when I ride or walk in the Borghese Gardens. Hhere is so much to do and so little Iime to do it that I have to make opportunities to read.'
 = Perhaps it may seem superfiuous 10 say of any Pope that he is a de- Eoutly religious man. Yet it is rec Nrded of Plus XII that after he hnd become a famous figure in the Ellurch, had handled for the Holy See diplomatic matters of the high Est importance and had been given great honors, his deepest personal Hesire was to retire entirely from Hflese lofty activities and fulfill pure 5y and simply the functions of F.jestly ministry. He even wished Io renounce the honors of his car- 1inalate, it is said, in order to at Nain his end.
 2 Throughout his career, it is recall Ed, despite his pressing obligations,

he always found a way to devote some time to priestly duties. After he had become secretary of the Sa- cred Congregation of Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs in Rome-the first section of the papal secretariat of state-he preached and heard confessions in various colleges and churches about Rome. He also gave courses of religious instruction.
 The present Pope always has dis played the marked abilities that were to carry him to his present position. He was not strong as a child - he had to withdraw from college in Rome because of delicate health, and was obliged to complete his education as day-pupil, with study at home-but it was not long after he had entered the priesthood, in 1899, that his qualifications at tracted the attention of his supe- riors.
 Almost immediately, he. was nam ed a substitute professor of law at the Roman Seminary Simultaneous ly, he was made an apprendista, or apprentice, in the Congregation of Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs. It was not long before he had been made full professor of canon law, and had been advanced in the Con- gregation to the grade of minutante or official of the first class.
 Cardinal Gasparri, then an arch bishop, headed the Congregation and discerned the young mans cap abilities. During the early part of the World War, when Cardinal Cas- parri was secretary of state, the present pope was at his side as his right-hand man. It was Gasparri who sent him to Germany as Papal Nunicio to Bavaria, and it was Cas- parri whom he succeeded as secre- tary of state.
 It is doubtful if any Pope has been as widely travelled as Plus XII. In addition to his long so- journ in Germany, he visited South America in 1884 as papal legate to the International Euharistic Con- greSs at Buenos Aires, visiting Rio de Janeiro and Montevideo. His visit to the United States two years later has already been mentioned.
 He is gifted linguist, and has a good command of English, French German, Spanish and Portuguese in addition, of course, to Latin and Italian.

 Miaja and Besteiro joined Casa dos radio talk to the people, both calling upon the population to re- main calm and to oppose the Com munists.
 Maija made tour of the city on foot during the morning, waving to cheering crowds and stopping to shake hands with hundreds of per- sons.
 !, One old woman on Alcala street rushed up to the general and em- praced him. There were repeated cheers for the defense council.
 "Let us all return to sense" Miaja declared in his radio plea, and I assure you this will soon end, Some want to fight or plan to fight for the non-existent Negrin government. You know it is now fled to France.
 Want To End War
 'sThe sole reason for formation of the council is to end the war in "a humane and honorable manner It is not directed against any party You owe allegiance to the council. 8 Besteiro told the people by radio that the defense council desires ito prevent the government of republi- can Spain from falling definitely into the power of communism, which tyrannizes the people in a struggle Carried on under the Communist party operating from the heights of power"
 Y He said that the army should not sbe mislead by agitators.
 N "Anti-FasciSts! Men of the repub- lican militial" he cried. Do not be deceived by equivocations. Be pre- pared to defend the council which will guarantee your salvation against any attempt to enslave the people pr establish terroristic despotisn among us.'
 The council, which overthrow tht Juan Negrin government on "peac, with honor" program, asserted tha certain elements of the Communis party had tried to provoke disor ,ders in Madrid and that the neces lsary measures" to prevent an out break had been taken. .i Arrests at Valencia
