Spanish Embargo
Conflict Ends
Hull Collects Doto
Before Deciding on
Franco Recognition

Now that the Spanish war is
over. the administration is prepar-
Ing to do something it refused sew
eral times to do in the face Of great
pressure-lift the embargo on Ship
ment OF arms to Spain.
With Madrid in the hands of Gen.
Franco, official said today that lift
ing the embargo need not await
American recognition of the Franco
regime, since it would take account
solely of the state of fact and not
the legal situation.
Secretary of State Hull made
known yesterday he was collecting
information on the Spanish question
before deciding on recognition of
the victorious regime. However. Of
flcials have expressed the opinion
that President Roosevelt has power
to end the embargo Immediately
after he finds the war is over.
The Spanish refugee question
was discussed by the President yes
terday with DR.. Fernando de los
Rios. Ambassador of the Spanish
loyalist government. The President,
except to say there were a lot of
such refugees, would not go into
detail when asked about the con-
ference.
Ambassador de Los Rios has rent
ed an apartment in New York City
1t was learned today-an indication
of his future course. He has made
arrangements to take two servants
from the Embassy to the home III
New York which he will occupy as
an exiled Spaniard
First enforced following a Joint
resolution of Congress of January
8, 1887, the Spanish embargo even
tually became the target of vigorous
campaigns both in and out of Con-
gress when it appeared that the
loyalists were losing and needed
American arms.

March. 1888. when the agitation for
lifting the embargo started.

posed the lifting of the embargo.

BY the Associated Press,


MEXICO CITY, March 29.-Pres-
ident Lazaro Cardenas was quoted
yesterday as saying that Gen. Joa-
quin Amaro, who recently attacked
the governments policies, had "au-
tomatically discharged himself from
the army"
The Presidents words were pub
lished by commission of the Cham
ber of Deputies, which called on
President Cardenas to ask that Gen.
Amaro be ousted. The commission
said the President commented that
Gen. Amaro had dictated his own
sentence IN attacking intemperately
and without justice the institutions
he served"
Gen. Amara, former war min
lister, had said the government had
"Communistic and Fascist" tenden-
cies and had abused the expropria-
ton law in seizing the oil industry
year ago.

Germany Taking
Greater Hold on
Evangelical Church
Modification Advanced
By Members Right to
Have Own Pastor
By the Associated Press.

D. the Associated Press.
BERLIN. March 29-Nazification
of the Evangelical German Protes-
tanD Church was advanced an
other decisive step today on the
orders of Friedrich Werner, presi-
dent of the Supreme Church Coun-
Gil
1t was ordered that any church
member has the right to choose
some pastor other than the regular
pastor for performance of "the in
dividual duties of his office, for re-
ligious instruction or even for his
entire churchly ministration."
The regular pastor must in sucn
case turn over the use of the churcn
and its appurtenances to pastor
chosen by the parishioner.
The orders further provided that
members of the congregation who
find their conception of religion
deviates from that of the regularly
ordained pastor may demand that
a minister whose views correspond
to theirs be appointed at least as
assistant pastor.
There are church members in each
parish who wish the congregation
to conform to Nazi-ism Wherever
these have been in minority, how
ever, their efforts so far have proved
to no avail
The orders also provide that a
pastor may be removed from his
church against his will if it seems
desirable to redistrict parishes or "if
he can no longer conduct his Office
within his congregation in an ad-
vantageous manner or if the pres
ervation of order in his congregation
so demands.

anxiety obvious on every face and
in the tones of every conversation

was worried but resigned.

Approves Da|adier
Reply 10 Il Duce
Address Today Will Be
Rebroodcost in Five
Languages

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 29.-The French
cabinet today approved Frances
answer to Italian colonial demands
which Premier Daladier will broad
cast to the world tonight.
Extraordinary precautions were
taken to prevent any leak of the
contents of the Premier's speech
before it is delivered at 7:45 pm
(2:45 pm. E. S. t.. Aside from
cabinet members and confidential
experts, the only person believed
to have seen copy was the British
Ambassador, Sir Eric Phipps.
(Premier Daladier's speech will
be carried over the network Of
the National BroadcaSting Co.,
and heard in Washington over
Station WMAL)
Tow Hours Devoted to Speech.
Sources close to the government
said that the more than two-hour
cabinet meeting was devoted almost
entirely to the speech and its pos.
sible effect on the international
situation.
Deputies said the general line of
the speech was drafted last night at
conference between the Premier
and Foreign Minister Georges Bon
net, which at times became so bitter
that M. Bonnet threatened to re-
sign.
These sources said M. Daladier
had planned,a much stronger speech
particularly with regard to Italian
claims, than M. Bonnet wanted
After M. Daladier persuaded M
Bonnet to remain as foreign min
lister, 1t was stated, a compromise
formula for the speech was devised.
Rebroadcast in Five Languages.
Arrangements were made to re-
broadcast the speech in five foreign
languages-German, Italian, Eng
lish, Arabic and Spanish. The ad-
dress was regarded as an answer
to Germany, as we'll as to Italy
The Arabic translation was intended
Tor the Mediterranean and Near
Eastern area to which French in
f1uence extends, and the English
for her democratic partner.
In the speech, M. Daladier had
an opportunity to meet Premier
Mussolini's Sunday address or
Italian force and Italian demands
with a reference to French force
and Erepch demands
II Duce spoke of the problems
between France and Italy as Dji-
bouti, Tunisia and the Suez Cana
and said that with Nationalist vic.
tory In Spain barricade between
France and Italy could be consid.
cred sufficiently demolished" How.
ever, France has contended thai
Italian troops must leave Spain a,
soon as the war is over.
Speaks as Dictator.
NJ. Daladier speaks as a premier
welding dictatorship power anc
with great majority of the natior
behind him. His address is against
background of repeated French
assertions that France has no COL
onies to give away and will discuss
other matters only if Italy states
them clearly and without threats.
Just as Mussolini Sunday empha-
sized the strength of the Rome
Berlin axis NJ. Daladier could cite
the strength of the London Paris
entente.
Frances own war power has been
bolstered by the steps M. Daladier
has taken since he was given decree
powers by Parliament March 10
Reservists have been called up for
the army, navy and air force. Work
in armaments factories and other
industries has been speeded, and
the government has been enabled to
bring Frances frontiers to a war;
time footing at any time it deems
such action necessary.

With good baseball at a minimum, Washington Hills, outhit 17 to 12 by the North End Thomas Club, out scored the city league leaders Sum- day afternoon at Hamilton Park, forcing the Tommies to "move over" and share the top spot in the league standing with the Brooklyn A. c. whose baseball nine had no trouble setting back the Overlooks 16 to 1. The Hills hung 1t on the Tommies, 10 to 8 while the Sacred Hearts and Tribunes, the two tail-end teams played the best baseball of the day as the Hearts scored 10 shutout each team being>held to four hits.
 Seven runs in the second inning gave the Washington Hills flying start against the Tommies but they needed them, and more as the north enders came to life in the latter inn- ings scoring three runs in the sixth, 3 in the seventh and three more In the ninth. The Hills, however, got one in the seventh and another in the eighth, and those runs proved to be their margin of victory. The teams made 20 hits. the Tommies Danny O'Leary getting A for 6" while the Hills Bobby Ray got 3 out of 5. Brooks started for the Tom mics, was hit hard, replaced by Wal ly Berg, who also had his troubles, as Art Haas was not rid of his arm trouble which began a week ago. Summary:

Battle of Proxies at Mar. ragansett Shifts Back
 to Court

Boston, July 10-(UP)-The scene of the battle of proxies for control of the Narragansett Racing associa- ton shifted from the track at Paw tucket, R. l., to U. s. district court here today.
 Federal Judge George 0. Sweeney was expected to hear the petition of busted General Manager Walter r. O'Hara for the court to pass upon the validity of proxies instead of two inspectors appointed by the management headed by Judge James F. Dooley, who seeks reelec- ton as president and general man. ager.
 The associations annual meeting was halted after two days when Att torney Ernest Cuneo, counsel for O'Hara, produced a restraining or- der issued by Judge Sweeney. The order restrained the association from acting on O'Hara's proxies and from conducting any meeting or ad- journed meeting at which proxies are to be voted upon until Q decision was made on O'Hara's application.
 The management must show cause today why the O'Hara petition should not be granted. O'Hara charged that the inspectors were dominated by the Dooley forces and were unfair and prejudiced" in checking proxies.
 When the meeting adjourned, proxies of only 779 of the 1927 stock holders had been counted.
 O'Hara. who resigned under fire as $75,000-a-year president and general manager of the lucrative track in February 1888, has been en- deavoring to gain enough proxies to again control the track.
