Miojo Reported Ready
For Immediote Peace

HENDAYE, France, March 13
R.-Gen. Jose Miaja was reported
ready today to make immediate
peace with Generalissimo Francisco
Franco to forestall a threatened
Nationalist offensive to take the
rest of Spain by force.
After five-holr session in Madrid
last night tine Defense Council,
headed by Gen. Miaja, announced
that. with the six-day Communist
uprising suppressed, the government
would go ahead with the plan
drawn up before the rebellion"
That plan, border observers believed
would mean the end of the civil war
by virtually unconditional surrender.
Border observers. however, were
skeptical of the Defense Councils
announcement that the Communist
revolt against, the peace plan finally
had been suppressed. They pointed
out that the same announcement
had been made twice before and
that after each bitter fighting con-
tinued in Madrid.

DR.. Mendelson, middle-aged and
vigorous. stocky man with spec
tacles and pointed mustache, re-
turned to Washington and home
only a month ago with his wife, Mrs.
Anne Mendelson, formerly president
of the Tientsin Women's Club, and
their children, Janice, 16, and DON
aid, 13. The doctor is past presi-
dent of the Tientsin Medical Society.
Their home is at 1921 Fourteenth
street NV,
Back in 1917 DR.. Mendelson, who
had come here from New York in
1905, joined the Army as medical
officer, acquired the rank of major,
and went to France. where he won
the Victory Medal, the Purple Heart
and the British General Service
| Medal.
japanese Take Over.
Both DR.. Mendelson and his wife,
| who is co-author of book giving
an easy way to learn Chinese, found
their greatest joy in going places,
seeing things and meeting people,
SO for many years he remained an
Army medical officer.
In 1929 he was sent to Tientsin
on a four-year tour of duty with
American forces there. In 1888 his
tour was over and it was with great
regret that the Mendelsons left the
fascinating atmosphere of the Chi
nese city.
The fascination was so great that
few months later, in 1884, Maj.
Mendelson retired from the Army
Medical Corps and the family moved
back to Tientsin, where he entered
the private practice of medicine,
serving chiefly the foreign popula-
ton and wealthy Chinese, but often
answering calls into the poorer ma
tive quarters.
Everything went we'll with the
Mendelsons, the parents with their
work and hobbies, Janice and Dom
aid with their school work and
Janice with her own girl hobbies.
That is-everything went we'll until
the japanese came.
Tientsin changed hands and the
Japanese took charge Mrs. Men
delson told how Japanese soldiers
rule the city, how japanese mer-
chants and manufacturers are TAX
ing over all the business. how Japa-
nese ships are carrying the freight,
in fact. how the invaders have taken
over everything.
City Loses Fascination.
'The Japanese" said Mrs. Men,
delson, "are very patient people and
they are seeking to drive out the
foreigners by wearing them down.
They miss no opportunity to show
their authority. For example, they
take over railroad and keep the
British. Scotch or American officials
at full salary, but give them no work
to do. Foreign ships are delayed
everywhere by japanese authorities.
But japanese ships go through with
out delay"
China lost its fascination for the
Mendelsons under these conditions,
and back to America they came.
They stopped off in San Francisco
for a brief period and then returned
to Washington. where they are re-
newing a number of friendships in
Army and medical circles.
Their Fourteenth street home has
an Oriental atmosphere 1t is full
Of scores of Chinese objects, pieces
of furniture, pictures, fine tapestries
and ornaments, including the finely
carved teakwood seat once occupied
by the Emperor of China's personal
courier in the old royal palace at
Peiping.
Thoughts and stories of China
still fascinate the Mendelsons.

5000 Prisoners Freed.

Three thousand Republican
prisoners who had been in the hands
OF the rebels were reported freed
when the revolt collapsed. These
included the Socialist civil governor
OF Madrid, Jose Gomez Osorio.
Five hundred prisoners had been
locked in the basement of the former
royal country palace at Ell Pardo,
northwest Madrid. 1t was there that
the revolt started under Col. Jose
Ascano, who was still at large.
Forty persons were reported killed
and more than 100 injured in a Ma

MURPHY. WAR HORSE NEVER
SOUGHT STATE JOB BEFORE

Raleigh, Dec 8.-Walter Murphy
("Pete" to practically all Tar Heels),
of Salisbury, announced today he will
be a candidate for secretary Of state.
In view of his record of service to
the party, it was unnecessary for him
to add subject to the Democratic
primary next May" He has spoken
for the Democrats in every campaign
since 1894
The dean of all Tar Heel legisla-
tors issued no written statement
Just told news men to say he is in
the race to stay and to win. He added
that he sees no point in making
long declaration Of principles in a
race for the office ne seeks.
Everybody in North Carolina
knows me and my record. If there is
any one who does not believe that
l will at all times be guided by what
| believe is right, it's too late to tell
him that now" he said.
Beyond that, Mr.. Murphy had lit
tie to say of himself or his career;
but the simple announcement will be
conceded everywhere to be the start
Of what should be one of the States
one of the sO-called minor" state
wide Offices
1t puts on the one side veteran
of many campaigns, real war horse
who has carried the Democratic ban
ner in days when his party was a
minority one (and that's back fur
Their than the younger generation can
remember), but man who has
never before sought elective state
wide office.
On the other side it puts the in
cumbent Thad Eure, young, hand
some, ambitious and aggressive; a
chap who has already won a state
wide race at surprisingly early
stage of his career
There is no present way to evaluate
the Murphy chances nor to make
even a tentative prediction about the
course Of the campaign; but there's
no gain saying it ought to be an in
teresting affair.
Murphy's record of service to his
party is longer than that Of any other
man in North Carolina still active
in the States affairs. His first cam
paign for the party was made in 1884,
and there has not been a race since
in which pete" has not unfurled the
banner of Democracy and charged
desperately against the enemy front.
Every such campaign, he says, has
been made wholly at his own. ex-
pense. He has spoken in every one Of
the 100 counties.
His first legislative experience was
IS far back as the General Assembly
of 1897, which was controlled by the
Fusionists (Populists and Republic
cans). He therefore had the now
practically unique in North Carolina
senation of belonging to a Democrat
ic minority. His vigorous battle a.
gainst Governor Daniel RusselPS rail-
road policies, and his refusal to ad-
dress Negro members of the legisla-
tllre as "the gentleman from sucn and
such county" led to an attempt to
impeach him; an attempt which fail
ed even in the C. O. P.-domnated
