Until Italy States Exactly Just What She Is
After; Claim Mussolini Was Not Specific


Paris, March 28.-(AP)-France
will refuse to negotiate if Italy adj
vances claims for French territory,
sources close to the government said
today. Furthermore, the French are
disinclined to open any negotiations

The Italians premier's references
to problems with France in Djibouti,

Lucky Although Well Played

When overcalling with very
weak hand it is well to bear in mind
that your overcall may eventually
give the opponents clue as to how
to make slam. However, in todays
hand West was really unlucky, since,
when he overcalled, he had no rea-
Son to expect that a slam could be
made against him.
