Carney reconstructed the suicide
as follows:
"Variell apparently put his studio
couch mattress in the kitchenette,
almost filling the floor space. He
then folded a sheet on top Of the
mattress, turned on the gas, and
left the room.
TN another room he undressed
and got into his pajamas. At some-
time he stripped off his valuables-
a ring and watch given him by his
father-and put them with other
items in the bottom drawer Of q
dresser.
Then he went back into the
kitchenette, closed the door, shut off
the gas, lay down and pulled the
sheet over him."
Died Friday, 18th
Carney said DR.. BOWS report in
dicated that Variell died last Friday
the 18th.
DR.. BOWS finding was based In
part on report from state police
toxicologist Joseph Walker who an
alyzed the vital organs.
Investigators expected to talk
later with Miss Helen M. Lambert
81, of New York who failed to ar
rive yesterday as scheduled. Ar
uncle. William D. Lambert of Brook
line, promised she would come to-
day. He explained she had changed
plans because of publicity attend
ing the case.
Miss Lambert was one of severa
friends who attended Thursday
night monograph concerts given BY
Variell.
Two others who we're at the las
such concert, Theodore Sprague ane
Claude Richards, quoted Variell a!

position to transport troops to
Morocco while the British Mediter-
ranean fleet retains its power. Gra-
ziani could move an army backward
into Algeria from Libya and SO to
Morocco, but such maneuver would
be difficult and would surely in
terrupt this Egyptian campaign
plans.
Spain, however, has a considerable
force in North Africa, well equipped
and trained in local combat condi-
tons. The French are disorganized
for the present and it would require
time for any pro-British French
colonial force to prepare for military
action, especially since the French
Colonials are divided in their
opinions.
With this condition prevailing,
the Spanish North Africans might
well be able to halt reorganization
Of French combat units seeking to
aid Britain. If Spain were COM
missioner by Germany and Italy to
take this step, it could be inter-
preted as acknowledgement action,
since it would not involve hostilities
against the formally constituted
French government. It might fall
within the category of police meas
ures to prevent rioting in territories
bordering Spanish possessions, be-
yond the power of local authorities
to suppress.
To Stem Revolt
General Weygand has been or
dered to go to North Africa by the
Petain government to stem the
growth of revolt. If he undertakes
the mission and can rely on Span
ish assistance, his authority might
be increased. There Is the uncer-
tainty. however, that Spanish inter-
vention might have the opposite
effect of uniting the Colonial
Frenchmen against Spain and so
against Germany and Italy. This
possible development must be given
consideration in Berlin, Rome, and
Vichy.
General Franco recently expressed
SPANS desire to expand her North
African empire. II Germany and
Italy now feel the necessity for
Spanish aid, as they may well do,
SPANS opportunity may be at hand
to obtain promises contingent on the
Axis powers winning the war.
Italy, too, is ambitious for French
North African Spoils. which, how
ever, may not complicate the Span
ish claim. italian Colonial Minis
ter Teruzd went to Rome this week
to confer with Senior Suner, which
implies the Italians do not wish to
rebuff Spain.
If severance of the North African
colonies from France forms part of
the Nazi-Pascist plans for post
war settlement, there is enough ter
ritory to meet both italian and
Spanish claims. ~ $nr Gibraltar.
its great defensive strength Is we'll
known to General Franco. He can
see much less difficulty cooperating
with Germany and Italy in North
Africa than by risking domestic i'm
| poverishment through going to war
against Great Britain over the rock
fortress.

Hitler.
Last Time They Met
The last time Won Ribbentrop and
Ciano got together-at Vienna last
month-Rumania ceGed territory to
Hungary and Bulgaria and King
Carol abdicated as the result.
(The authoritative newspaper Ma
tional zeitung at Essen, Germany,
said of today's conference: whoever
follows the history of the German
italian meetings Knows that these
discussions are Immediately followed
by the common action of all forces
of both allies" The newspaper in
dieated that this conference con-
cerned: Cd joint German-Italian
plans for a final offensive against
Great Britain; 90 problems likely
to arise if and when Britain were
defeated.
Some quarters here said that the
foreign ministers would discuss the
Axis powers relations with other
world powers, including the United
States, but that it was highly I'M
likely that they would spend much
time talking about the deal whereby
the United States traded Great
Britain so destroyers for air and
navy bases in the western hemis-
phere, since that deal is completed
and nothing can be done about it.
1t May Be Spain
The general belief was that Spain
was the main subject and it was
pointed out that Suner had made an
outspoken statement to German
newspapers this week that Spain
wanted back her former territory In
Europe Some observers pointed out
that although Spain was i'll prepared
for clash with Britain over Gibral-
tar, she was in good position to gel
supplies from Germany for such q
venture now, since the Germans
have occupied western France dowr
to the Spanish frontier. Others
doubling that Spain would fight now
pointed out that she might be ready
to give the Axis powers passive aid
such as air and naval bases on the
Spanish coast, from which German
and Italian forces could assai

Historic Conference

H1SLOflC OOn1eTc0CC
Rome, Sept. 19-CUP)-Axis plans
for important political and terri
torial" changes in the Balkans
brought Nazi Foreign Minister
Joachim Won Ribbentrop to Rome
for consultation with Premier Benito
Mussolini, the authoritative Virginia
Gayda indicated today in Giornale
d'Italia.
Ribbentrop, who arrived on an ar
mored train, was generally expected
to discuss war problems involving
SPANS position toward the Axis
powers and the campaign against
the British empire in north Africa.
But Gayda put special emphasis on
the Axis program for a new order in
Europe, as it affects the Balkans.
"a press campaign against Greece
recently aroused speculation as to
possibility of a Fascist move toward
the Aegean sea-.
"Since the strong attacks against
the British Isles and the British en-
pire are continuing as scheduled, the
Axis powers already are in a posi-
ton to think about the construction
of a new Europe, freed from the
weight of defeated hegemonies,"
Gayda said.
"The Ribbentrop visit occurs at q
moment when important southeast
ern European problems have been
settled but naturally not all prob
lens can be considered solved as a
result of the Vienna conference Gre
sulting win partitioning Of Ru-
manla). The results, however, prove
the possibility of obtaining specific
solution for important political and
territorial problems:
Ribbentrop came here to talk with
