up.
Meantime Chairman Randolph OF
the House District Committee sent
a copy of the reorganization report
to the White House for President
Roosevelt to review, and Representa-
tive Ambrose j. Kennedy, Democrat,
of Maryland made preparations to
start public hearings on the reor-

Mr.. Kennedy is chairman of a spe-

President Studies Report.
Mr.. Randolph sent the Presi-

of his interest in District gov
ernment reorganization plan. Sew
eral weeks ago the President told
Mr.. Randolph he would like to see
the District government modern
lied and indicated his preference for
q "single administrator" setup SIM
liar to the Griffenhagen plan.
Mr.. Kennedy originally had in
tended to begin hearings on the
reorganization plan as soon as it
was completed. Subsequent devel-
opments, however, forced a delay.
First Mr.. Kennedy discovered lie
could not start hearings until the
reorganization report is formally
turned over to his subcommittee
by the full District Committee, and
that cannot be done until tomor-
row, when the committee holds its
regular weekly meeting. Second,
he said, the Reorganization Sub
committee may want the reorgan-
ization plan put in the form Of a
bill prior to the hearings.
Washington business, civic and
patriotic organizations were being
called on meanwhile to support set
ting up of an elective municipal
legislative body in the District to
meet specifications for a "commis-
sion or assembly" contained In the
Griffenhagen report.

Gayda Insists Franco
Will Continue 10 Get
Aid Despite Denial
British Envoy Reportedly
Told by Ciono ItoIy Won't
Keep Troops in Spain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Feb. 7.-Virginio Gayda
insisted today that the Spanish in
surgents would continue to get Ital-
ian and German support until they
had won a political as we'll as a
military victory, despite reliable re-
ports Of an ofi1cial reputation OF
his earlier statement that Italian
troops would remain in Spain even
after the end Of the war.
The usually authoritative Fascist
editor, who often reflects Premier
Mussolini's views, did not, however,
repeat specifically his assertion that
troops would remain in Spain.
Reliable sources said the British
government had been assured by
Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo
Ciano that the Sunday statement
on troops did not represent Fascist
policy.
Italy's Prerequisites.
In his editorial today in II Gior-
male dItalia Gayda set forth four
prerequisites for complete insur-
gent victory:
l. Demobilization of Spanish Re-
publican government forces which
had found refuge in France.
2. Resignation and dispersal of
the government.
3. Unconditional surrender by the
republican army with no armistice
negotiations.
4. Return of the bank of Spain's
gold stock which the government
had deposited abroad.
Gayda said British Prime Minis
ter Chamberlain's announcement
yesterday of an Immediately func-
tioning military alliance between
Great Britain and France" caused
no surprise in Italy.
The question in Fascist minds,
Gayda said, was whether Britain
Internationally swallows the in
transigent and one sided policy of
France against Italy and Germany
and their claims"
British Accept Denial.
The British Ambassador to Rome
Lord Perth, called on Count Ciano
late yesterday to ask how Italian
leaders reconciled intentions at
tributed to them by Gayda with the
British-Italian friendship agree
ment which went into effect No.
vember 16.
The agreement provided that
Italian troops would be withdrawn
from Spain as soon as the civil war
ended, if not earlier.
The British were reported to have
accepted Ciano's denial that in this
matter the Italian press had been
inspired by. or reflected, Premier
Mussolini's views.
The Fascist Grand Council Sum
day served notice that Italian vol
unteers will not abandon" the
Spanish war before it is ended, as
it must end. with Frances victory"
To this Gayda added an indica-
ton that victory could mean only
political domination as well as mill
tary control by the insurgents.
Gayda charged that new pres
sure and diplomatic Intervention"
were being planned against the in
surgents, and added:
Therefore. German and Italian

surgents) cannot be reduced.
ITO military victory, complete po-
litical victory must be added. Ex-

The State Department has re-

from time to time. The latest was
by letter from Representative Nc
Cormack, Democrat, of Massachu-

Secretary Hull at press confer

,Moslem Uorld on a Disit to Libyd
in 1887
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. Prime Minister
Chamberlain urged Arab delegates
to the Palestine conferences today
to settle their ancient feud with the
Jews "by personal contact after
the manner of the foreign policy he
has pursued in seeking European
appeasement with Premiers Hitler
and Mussolini.
Opening the conferences at st.
James Palace with welcoming adj
dress to the Arabs, Chamberlain
said:
MY policy is one of peace.
You will be aware that my par
ticular method of approach to peace
is through understanding, and the
first essential step to understanding
is personal contact"
Seeks Wise Settlement.
Addressing the Arabs representing
the exiled grand multi of Jerusalem,
who quarreled among themselves
and refused to sit in the same room
with the Jewish representatives, the
Premier said that Britain was
seeking a wise settlement Of the
present difficulties which will safe
guard the rights and position OF the
Arabs (who oppose Jewish immigra-
tion) in Palestine"
The carefully guarded Arabs were
ushered into the palace by one en-
trance. the Jews by another for their
welcome which followed that to the
Arabs. At no time were the two
groups permitted to meet.
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New
York and Chain Weizmann, presi-
dent OF the World Zionist organiza-
ton, answered for the Jewish dele
cation.
The grand mufti's delegates, in a
dispute over representation. pre-
vailed upon the opposition Arab Ma
itional Defense party delegation to
withdraw.
Aware Of Obligations.
Chamberlain indicated Britain's
Ipolicy was one of compromise by
telling the Arabs: at is a task of
craftsmanship when faced by what
may appear to be a deadlock be-
tween two peoples to achieve COM
promise on the basis of justice"
The Arabs were told they could
put forward any proposals they
liked. Chamberlain added, however,
that the government was aware of
its obligations under the League
mandate, the duty to Parliament, to
members of the League of Nations
and to the United States.

Btates and Britain on December 3,
1924, recognized American rights in
Palestine and provided that the

-Four Soviet Russian destroyers

The movement was interpreted in

to be caught unawares by any de-
