Later. Nerbonne went to Sgt.
Harris to take the boys into Gus
tody. But. the youths were not to
be found.
Still later. a man and boy ap-
pesred at police headquarters. The
man proved to be the father of
one OF the boys Nerbonne had
handcuffed. The lad explained he
and his companion had left the
park, obtained a file and severed
the cuffs from their wrists.
The name OF the other lad
was obtained. and. he likewise.
was brought TO the police sta
ton. He confirmed his part
ner's story about the file and
the handcuff seyering episode.
Both boys, however, were at
loss to recall where they abandoned
the wrist shackles.
Nerbonne was out his handouts,
but he had the three flashlights.

ers by calling at juvenile quarters
at the police department and
identifying them.
The two boys were lodged in the

SPAIN

A plain intimation that Spain
expects to get back Gibraltar and
its former possessions on the Medi-
terranean and Atlantic coasts of
Africa were made by Generslissimo
Francisco Franco, chief of state.

ating the fourth anniversary of the

Gen. Franco said that the 500. 600
dead of the civil war demanded
that the country forget the COM
forts of life in order 10 carry out
in unity the imperial destiny.
Two million soldiers. he said.
were ready to face whomever it

rights of Spain.
He recalled the testament of
Queen Isabella that Spain must
never lose Gibraltar and then men,

left Spain a mission which after
four centuries still ruled and or

Undoubtedly VIII Accept
Party leaders at Chicago and
the few remaining in Washington
were unanimous in predicting that
Mr.. Roosevelt would accept the
nomination. They pointed out
that when he rejected the oppor-
tunity 10 refuse nomination in
the statement read to the con-
vention by Sen. Alben w Barley
Tuesday night, he passed up his
final opportunity to head off the
certain convention drive to desig-
nate him as the party candidate
for the third time.
The president already has in
dicated the outlines of the basis
upon which he might accept the
nomination. In the statement
which he asked Barley to read
to the convention Tuesday night,
he informed his party that he had
no personal ambitions for con-
tnuation in the office, and &C.
cordingly could not be considered
presidential aspirant.
That declaration, it appeared,
set the mold for whatever Mr..
Roosevelt will say in response to
the conventions precedent-shak-
ing nomination. Basing his reply
on that statement, Mr.. Roosevelt
could say that he has not sought
the office and wishes to retire to
private life, but feels that he can
not refuse the call to service from
his party and his country.
Mr.. Roosevelt still expects to
visit his Hyde Park, N. Y, home
over the weekend, and it was con-
ceivable that he might defer his
response to the draft" until he
arrived there. But the imminent
of the convention and
urgency of the party problem
posed by the nomination combined
to indicate that he would not wait
that long.
Before the president replies,
however the Chicago convention
probably will nominate a vice.
presidential candidate to run with
him on the 1910 ticket. The
open telephone circuit" to Chicago
undoubtedly will inform new deal
leaders there sometime today of
his final preferences for a run
ming mate.

Traffic Officer Bill Nerbonne
was singing new words to an old
song around police headquarters
Thursday that went something like
this.
Brother. can you spare a pair
Of handouts ,"
The new words to the old song
originated following an episode at
Athletic park Wednesday night
which involved two boys, one IS
and the other Is years old. who
were caught for awhile, anyway
with three flashlights in their pos
session which sssertedly had been
taken from parked cars outside the
ball park.
Nerbonne was busy directing
traffic, when a motorist called his
attention to activities of the two
youths. The tall, muscular officer
abandoned his traffic directing and
left his post to nab the boys. On
their persons he found the flash
lights.
In order that traffic would
not become congested, Ner-
bonnie snapped his pair of
handouts around the wrist of
each Of the boys and in
structed them to report to the
main gate at the park and
present themselves TO Police
Sgt. f. +. Harris. Nerbonne
then went back TO his traffic
post.
The two lads obeyed part of the
order. They went to the gate, but
kept close together. hiding the
handouts, and walked into the ball

An Expert
Appraises
The War
BY J. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

General Frances pro-
nouncement that it is SPANS
mission to recover Gibraltar
and expand territorially in
North Africa is significant in
that it does not make the re-
turn of Gibraltar an immedi-
ate essential of any revival of
Spanish imperialism. BY as
sociating Spanish ambitions
in Africa with claims to Glib
raltar General Franco may be
tentatively feeling for a way
to hold off a declaration of
war against Great Britain.
II would be too serious an
undertaking for Spain to attempt
to conquer Gibraltar and begin
simultaneously colonial cam
paign in North Africa. To con-
centrate on one or the other as
an initial effort would be better
strategy, and more in keeping
with Spanish strength.
General Franco is understood to
be aware of the hardships that
would result to the Spanish people
if Spain were to become an active
belligerent. Spain is very short
of food reserves and it has been
claimed that if British began a
close blockade of Spanish ports
the Spanish people would begin
to. feel the pinch within a month.
Communist Revival
There have been recent indi-
cations of a revival Of Communist
sentiment in Spain. Any mis-
carriage in Spanish military plans
coupled with semi-starvation for
the populace might lead to a Sec
ond revolution as the consequence
of SPANS entrance into the war.
General Franco understands this
possibility very well.
At the same time there is con-
slant pressure by Germany and
Italy for Spain to declare war,
the prize of Gibraltar being DAM
gled before the eyes of the Span
ish people. A group within Spain
having considerable influence, has
joined the German and Italian
propaganda movement.
Franco has now succeeded. how
ever, in adding African expansion
to the discussion, thereby causing
some diversion from the insisteni
Gibraltar propaganda. A Spanish
campaign to gain territory in
North Africa would be a less diff.
ficult undertaking than an at
tempt to force the capitulation OF
Gibraltar
Aimed At Morocco
An African expedition would be
aimed at French Morocco which is
adjacent to SPANS North African
possessions. France is in no posi-
ton to offer resistance to such a
Spanish enterprise and it would
seem that fairly easy conquest
could be anticipated.
Germany and Italy, however
have no desire to see Spain take
predominant part in determining
the future of any French colony.
They want to use Spain solely to
hamper British hold on Gibraltar
General Franco. by raising the
North African issue, has I'M
doubtedly somewhat confused Hit
Ter and Mussolini. II now remains
to be seen whether they can
counter General Franco by con-
centrahng the issue of Gibraltar
again, as the sole reason for a
declaration OF war by Spain. II
they cannot, Spain may continue
to remain neutral.
