versed a District Court ruling hold
Ing former Attorney General Homer
S. Cummings responsible for s88.-
$50 in Commercial National Bank
bonds. which were liquidated by

It held further that he did not
receive the funds and thus cannot
be held liable personally in an ac-
ton to recover the money, and that
he could not be sued in his official
capacity as he did not possess the
proceeds of the bonds at any time.
Suit against Mr.. Cummings was
brought by Cary A. Hardee. receiver

to recover the $88,556 with interest
from December /, 1887.

BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Jan. 23.-Germany's

that German female beauty must
become even more beautiful-while
Germany's manhood is to be kept
to high pitch of physical perfec-
ton by the decree Saturday for all
able bodied men to join the Storm

Nye Indicates Move
To Lift Embargo
Against Spain
Agrees With Stimson in
View President Has
Right to Act

Senator Nye, Republican, Of North
Dakota today urged the lifting of
the embargo against Spain and indi-
Gated he would introduce resolu-
ton requiring such action unless
President Roosevelt declares the en-
barge at an end.
Il concur in Henry L. Stimson's
view that the President has the legal
right to lift the embargo" Senator
Nye said, referring to the former
Secretary of States letter to Secre-
tary Hull favoring the embargo's
termination.
Certainly he has as much power
to lift it as he has exercised in
failing to place an embargo on the
other two nations in the dispute,
Italy and Germany, which continue
to purchase arms in the United
States"
Meanwhile, the National Red
Cross here explained reports, COM
ing from Toulouse, France, news
parer, that Spanish insurgents
traded American wheat flour, in
tended for relief purposes. to Ger
many for munitions. Chairman
Norman H. Davis and Vice Chair
man Ernest J. Swift, vice chairman
in charge Of foreign operations, said
the circumstances were these:
Flour which is destined for IN
surgent territory in Spain is shipped
from the United States to the
French port of Bordeaux. Because
insurgents are unable to use their
own ships to handle the flour from
Bordeaux, they have employed Ger
man ships. Reports that German
freighters had American relief goods
aboard led presumably to belief
that a trade" had been made for
German munitions.
The Red Cross said the Society
of Friends, Quaker organization in
charge of distribution Of relief goods,
had received word that the flour
was delivered and distributed in In
surgent Spain.

PERPIGNAN, France, Jan. % (P.
-Reports reaching the French
Spanish border today said the Bar

Official Spanish sources declined to

Yugos|avia Refuses
To War on Italy,
Goyda Declares
Possibility Of Actual
Aid Envisioned by
Fascist Editor
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
ROME, Jan. 23-Virginio Gayda,
Fascist editor close to Premier
Mussolini. announced today that
Yugoslavia would refuse to fight
against Italy in any Mediterranean
war.
The authoritative editor of II
Giornale d'Italia indicated that
Italy counted at least on Yugo-
slavia's benevolent neutrality in
event of a conflict with France.
Actual Aid in Prospect.
He raised the possibility, however,
Of Yugoslavia's actual aid by say
ing that Europe must take into
consideration new relations between
Italy and Yugoslavia which bring
together 100000 Of men in high
national spirit and war efficiency"
Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian
foreign minister, visited Belgrade
last week and conferred at length
with Yugoslav Premier Milan Stoy-
adinovich.
Most concrete results of the visit
were believed in Belgrade to be
Italian financial aid to Yugoslavia
and friendship agreement be-
tween Yugoslavia and Hungary, from
whom Italy already has won friend
illness.
Views on Spain Shared.
Gayda said that Rome and Bel
grade shared the same views on the
civil war in Spean, communism and
Italy's territorial claims against
France.
Collaboration on which Ciano and
Stoyadinovich agreed, Gayda said
naturally did not specify promises
of active mutual assistance but it
means that on no problem and in nc
eventuality will Italy and Yugo-
,, slavia find themselves in differing
positions or even opposed in COM
bat"
New Submarine Strength.
Meanwhile, Italys principal mill
tary periodical, lie Forze Armate
indicated Italy had built up hel
navy to new strength, including 2e
heavy submarines.
The publication did not give the
cruising range of the submarines
but said they were Of more than
1000 tons, which would place them
in the long-range category.
Since the last Italian naval year.
book showed only 8 long range
submarines, the new list indicated
18 would be built within year. One
year ago Italy was believed to be
building 20 new, heavy submarines

chen, terminus Of the Peiping Sui
yuan Railway, and at Pailingmiao,
westernmost Japanese bases in
Inner Mongolia.
Claiming he had repulsed explor-
atory attacks by the Japanese, Gen.
Flu Tso-yi, chairman of the Sui
yuan provincial government and
commander in chief Of the Chinese
northern army, reported to Chung
king that defenses were ready and
that morale was excellent.
The Chinese concern is to pro-
tect their munitions route from
Mongolian Urga across the Cobb
Desert.
The Japanese grasp on Inner Mon
golia now is along the railway from
Peiping through Nankow Pass to
Kalgan, city of 10000 population;
Tatung, Kweihua and Paotowchen.
Japan's Control Nominal.
The surrounding area, with an
estimated half-million population,
is nominally under Japanese con-
troll, with 10000 Japanese civilians
following the army in an effort to
take over rich coal, iron and wool
industries.
The Japanese Kwantung Army
clique, which controls Manchukuo,
is playing a leading role. Foreign
military observers believe the Jap
anese hope to use Inner Mongolia
as a major base for an offensive
against the Russian Influenced
Outer Mongolia-with a Japanese
controlled Mongol buffer state ad-
joining the Soviet as the ultimate
objective.
The Japanese already have estab-
lshed three governments in the
area, with the Mongol Prince Teh
heading a federated government at
Kalgan. Maj. Gen. Sakai of the
Japanese Army special service Sec
ton is the chief adviser"

Society Say,
A. N. A. Is Seekinq
Medical Monopoly
Doctors Aims Held
Detriment to Health
Of the Public

The American Chemical Society
charged today that the American
Medical Association and the Amer
lean Society of Clinical Pathologists
are seeking a monopoly for the
medical profession in the clinical
laboratory field Ito the detriment
of the health of the public"
The charges were made public by
DR.. Charles L. Parsons, secretary Of
the chemical society, by authority
Of the society's directors. He as
serted the two medical organiza-
tions were fostering monopoly by:
81. Taking the stand that a di-
rector of a clinical laboratory must
be licensed physician.
%. Advocating boycott Of clinical
laboratories conducted by nom
medical scientists.
"3. Opposing legislation to insure
the competence Of laboratory d.
rectors and workers."
AS result, Mr., Parsons charged,
most chemical information OBJ
tanned for physicians comes from
workers with little or no chemical
knowledge and even lacking trained
chemical supervision, while even
Pasteur could not direct a clinical
laboratory under the requirements
set up by the pathologists."
He urged as necessary for the
protection of both the public and
Of the physician" that all those
making chemical determinations
for factual data which are to be
used as adjuncts to the diagnosis
or treatment of disease by physicians
shall be licensed by the State"
In addition, he said the chemical
society maintains that every direc-
tor Of clinical laboratory should
be we'll educated and thoroughly
equipped IN pathology, bacteriology
or chemistry, but that no degree
in itself. is a guarantee of specific
knowledge and efficiency in this
branch of endeavor."
He protested the unsurpassed
arrogance" of the assumption by the
medical organizations that the find-
ings of other learned professions
such as chemist in a clinical lab
oratory-must be made sacrosanct'
by the seal Of an M. D. as director
of the laboratory.

YarneII and Gauss
Find Yangtze Safe

No Reason for Longer
Ban, They Declare
After Trip
b. the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Jan. 23-Admiral
Harry E. Yarnell, commander Of the
United States Asiatic fleet, and
Consul General Clarence E. Gauss
declared today they saw no reason
why the lower Yangtze River should
not be opened to trade Of all nations.
They returned aboard the patrol
boat Isabel from an inspection tour
begun January 18, the first joint
voyage Of ranking American naval
and diplomatic officials up the river
since the Japanese occupation.
The cruise showed the river quiet,
at least to Wuhu, so miles above
Marking, with most Of the booms
the Chinese erected against the in
vaders done away with. A large
section Of the one at Kiangyin re-
manned, but Japanese warship was
at hand to conduct all ships through
the barrier.
Japan's Traffic Heavy.
This appeared to be unnecessary
since there was sufficiently broad
opening to permit skirting the boom.
Japanese transports and cargo
ships traversed the river busily but
the foreign flags Of other nations,
so numerous in the past, were absent.
There were no signs Of guerrilla
activity as far as Muhu but sharp
engagements inland were reported.
A census by the officials showed
that 16 Americans were at Chin
kiang, go at Marking and 80 at
Wuhu, almost all missionaries. Since
Japanese dominance Of the area,
few American businessmen have re-
turned to Yangtze ports.
Reinforcements in Mongolia.
Japanese are reinforcing their
Mongolian garrisons, possibly In
preparation for the long-expected
offensive against the vast area to

Notifications around Barcelona as
the insurgents approached.
The critical hour became more and
more imminent for Barcelona. The
insurgent fleet attempted a naval
blockade in the Mediterranean. Air
raids continued. A food shortage
grew.
The insurgents acknowledged that
Cataionian militiamen were putting
up a fight for the disputed ground.
But the insurgent war machine
forced the defenders back all along
the front line.
Rebels Block Of Highway.
: In the central sector east of
1gualada, 80 miles west of Barcelona,
the insurgents were blocking off the
Lerida- Barcelona highway on the
outskirts of Piera.
The fear of renewed bombings led
many business places in Barcelona
to close, although the city was re-
ported calm. Foreign residents were
making preparations to follow those
who already had left.
j Border observers believed the oc-
3cupation of Barcelona would mean
the collapse of government resist
ance and an end of the civil war,
which has cost more than 1,000,0 900
lives IN Its two and one-half years.
The Barcelona government was
reported to have asked France to
authorize an exodus of 10000 refu-
gees from Catalonia if it should
become necessary.
British Ships Bombed.
1nsurgent air raiders bombed five
British ships, sinking one and killing
two officers, in attacks apparently
intended to choke off Barcelona S
food supplies.
The five vessels were the freighters
Dover Abbey, Stanbrook, African
Mariner, Thorpe Bay and Huntress
The African Mariner, which had
been in an earlier air raid, sank.
The Stanbrook was attacked miles
off shore, the others in Barcelona S
harbor.
William Mcclellan, second mate of
fhe African Mariner, and the second
mate of the Thorpe Bay. whose name
was not given, were killed.
