HAMBURG, May 31-Several
thousand German soldiers who
fought for Generalissimo Franco in
Spain came home today to STIR
ring Nazi welcome at this German
gateway to the world"
,As five strength through joy"
ships bore them slowly up the Elbe,
after several hours of delay by fog,
the soldiers of the Condor Legion
were saluted by Field Marshal Her
mann Wilhelm Goering on behalf
Of Reichsfuehrer Hitler.
Marshal Goering stood on the
bridge of the yacht Hamburg,
beaming eXpansively and obviously
proud of the men of his air force
who were being hailed by the press
as Gen. Frances mightiest arm 'in
the defense of Europe against Boil
shevism"
Torpedo Boats Lead Parade.
Six torpedo boats led the sea
, parade into Hamburg harbor. The
homecoming troops, in gray-green
uniforms, were lined up in precise
military formations on the decks.
Most of the men were of the air
force which the German public was
just learning had been used to ferry
at least $4,000 Moors into Spain
from Africa in the first days of the
civil war which ended two months
ago. Others were technicians and
instructors.

man forces which started going to
Spain in July, 1896, the month the
war started, but Hitler's newspaper,
. Voelkischer Beobachter, said the
legion was kept at strength of
5000.
Hamburg was almost delirious
tors from all parts of Germany had
flocked to the port, many of them
to embrace sons and brothers among
the troops.
They and sightseers sWarmed to
the port and river banks. After the
morning fog, the sun shone brightly
on a city bedecked with f1ags-the
red, white and black of Germany
and the red and gold of Nationalist
Spain.
Decentralization Delayed.
The transport ships were soon
brought to their docks but the dis
embarkment was delayed until this
afternoon. The program called for
the men to march past Marshal
Goering at 3 pm. and for the field
marshal to address a meeting of
soldiers and citizens at Hamburg's
Moor Weide.
Marshal Goering came here by
special train this morning, accom-
panied by most of Germanys high
air force officers. He wore his flying
officers uniform.
The return of the soldiers COIN
cided with the 23d anniversary of
the battle of Jutland, the greatest
World War naval engagement, which
the Germans have set down as a
! victory over the British.
The ceremonies here were only a
foretaste of the honors scheduled
for Friday, when they will parade
in Berlin before the Fuehrer and
Prince Paul, visiting regent of
Yugoslavia.

Townsend
Continued From First Pag,

and Means Committee for further
consideration. This strategy, some
sources declared, was calculated to
appeal to members who might not
wish to 60 on record for or against
the measure.
The bill would provide:
l. Pensions up to 5000 month for
persons so years old and over who
are not gainfully employed or in
prison. Some statisticians have esti-
mated it probably would pay about
$50 a month at the start.
a 2. A graduated gross revenue" or
transactions tax, ranging from one
half OF per cent on producing
manufacturing, wholesaling and
jobbing businesses up to per cent
on "other business including re-
failing.
3. Beneflciaries would have to
spend their pensions within the first
flve days OF the next month.
4. AS far as possible, beneficiaries
would have to buy United States
goods and use the services of United
States citizens.
While the House debate was get
ting under way, there were rum
blings of Senate sentiment for
liberalizing old-age pensions.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida, who has proposed a huge
made work. program to increase
the circulation of money, said he
was doubtful such a plan would be
approved at this session of Con-
gress. Instead he said, he was turn
Ing to increased pensions as a busi-
ness recovery move.
Senator Pepper told reporters he
or some other Townsend backer
would attempt first to attach the
Townsend plan to social security
amendments which the House is
expected to approve next week.
If that fails. he said he would trv
to increase the monthly Federal
contribution for old-age assistance
to $40 for single persons and $50 for
married couples, without the re-
. striction of States matching the
amounts sent from Washington.
Present law provides for Federal
oollar-for-dollar matching of State
old-age assistance up to a total
Federal contribution of SIS.
