Francois Overthrow
Reported Still Sought
After Three Failures
By the Associated PreSs

By the Associated Press
Anti-Franco elements in Spain
have tried three times to overthrow
the generalissimo, according to re-
ports current here among we'll
posted diplomats. Moreover the
dictator's foes are said to be per-
sisting in their plans, despite failure.
The defeat of the latest attempted
coup, in September, was attributed
to the Germans, who helped Franco
also when he overthrew Spain's re-
publican government in the Spanish
prelude to World War II.
This information, from sources in
touch with happenings in the still
seething Iberian Peninsula, named
Madrid as the center OF plotting
by several different factions bent on
ousting Frances Falangist Party
and installing regime more favor
able to the United Nations.
The group most active SO far has
been the pro-monarchist, which
wishes to bring back Prince Don
Juan from exile in Switzerland. But
informed persons believe the mon
archists have delayed too long, and
while Franco has in no way gained
strength, the monarchists have
daWdled away some of their power
The most likely development, &C
cording to diplomatic sources, is a
coup detat carried off mainly from
within the Spanish Army.
All but one of the generals of
the supreme war council in Spain
recently signed petition asking
that Don Juan be returned to the
throne
That would automatically mean
doing away with Franco. since the
claimant to the throne has said he
would not return as head of any
single group. Frances control now
rests almost exclusively in the posi-
ton of the Falange as the only legal
political party in Spain.
1t is doubtful, however, that the
prince could reach Spain so long as
Switzerland is surrounded by the
German Army.

Hungarian Troop Shift
To Yugodavia Seen
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
CAIRO, Dec. 18.-The exiled Yugo-
slav governments information Office
said today that Hans Neubacher,
the Nazis' special envoy to South
eastern Europe, is negotiating with
the Hungarian government over the
latter's proposal to withdraw Hun
garian troops from Russia and send
them into Yugoslavia.
Can Ankara dispatch reported
Wednesday that Neubacher had
arrived at Budapest amid grow
ing agitation for the recall Of
Hungarian forces from Russia.
Germany had been reported pre-
viously as prepared to apply
strong diplomatic pressure to keep
her uneasy Balkan satellites in
lineD
The Yugoslav statement said that
if the plan is approved Hungarian
forces would be sent into Yugoslavia
to reinforce German troops fighting
against both Marshal Josip Broz
(Tito), the Partisan leader, and
Gen. Draja Mihailovich, King
Peters war minister and leader OF
the regular forces.
The same statement asserted that
in fighting between Gen. Mihailo-
vich's forces and the Germans, the
German garrison at Grebena had
been disarmed.
1t also charged that the Germans
continuing their systematic looting
Of occupied territories, had closed
the largest glass factory in the Bal
kans, at Pancevo, Yugoslavia, and
had transported the equipment as
well as the workers into Germany.

ther conferences were in prospect,
he said they were on call.
Reports that he had conferred
with Premier Franco, the Spanish
dictator, were denied by Mr.. Roose-
welt, but he confirmed a'report that
he had met French officials at
Dakar These included the Gov
ernor, the acting commander of the
navy yard and tine captain of a
ship, Mr.. Roosevelt said.
Silent on Means of Travel.
While it had been announced that
the President was using an air
plane for his travels on the other
side, the nature of the transporta-
ton he used to cross the ocean was
not disclosed, and Mr.. Roosevelt
laughingly refused to throw any
light on that subject.
Congressional leaders who met the
President on his arrival yesterday
morning said that tentative plans
for him to go before a joint session
Of Congress to report on his trip
had been shelved, and the Presi-
dent. talking about this at his news
conference, expressed reluctance to
make what he described as a lot of
speeches. He said that he decided
he'd use the Hyde Park address,
which is directed primarily to serv-
ice men and women, to tell of the
trip. Anything that Is left out can
be included in his later address to
Congress on the state of the Nation,
he added.
The time for the address was set
at 3 pm, because it will reach other
parts of the world at good hours.
The speech will be rebroadcast
that night at 10 o'clock. Troops in
the Pacific and Far East will hear
the Presidents message on Christ
mas Day
Mrs. Roosevelt, 1t. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, jr, his son, who is home
on leave from the Navy; his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Anna Boettinger, and Mrs.
Franklin Roosevelt were interested

tunity to hear about the President S

Dear Miss V. o.:
You should certainly tell your

ment IL you are serious about
1t. IL seems to me that you are
being very unfair to both young

OF your correspondence or your
feelings about the soldier?
1 don't think you are doing
either one of them q favor. III
you don't know what you want,
then you should obviously
break your engagement, and
not make any decisions until
you are very sure that IL Is
what YOU want.
Certainly they should know.
and not go on believing that
YOU are serious about each of
them whep you are not.

Merger Of Religious
Concepts Discounted
As Postwar Factor
Personal Faith and
Mutual Respect Held
Key to Fellowship

1nter-religious fellowship as a
power in postwar reconstruction
will come through personal faith
rather than through an amalgama-
ton of concepts of religion, the
Washington roundtable of the Ma
tional Conference of Christians and
Jews was Gold yesterday in the
Washington Hotel.
In the first of three panel dis
cussions Edward j. Heffron, eXecu-
tive secretary of the National Coun-
Gil of Catholic Men, asked that
religious followers be faithful to
their own churches rather than
work for q common denominator.
Otherwise, he added, the individual
entities of religion will lose out.
Rabbi Paul Richman, secretary of
the Anti-Defamation League, B'nai
Birth, called for enlightenment of
the future through worship and
social welfare work. He maintained
that respect for the individual faiths
was a necessity.
DR.. Ernest S. Griffith, director of
the legislative reference service, said
democracy is the triumph of the
individual, as he noted the world is
built on the multiplicity of small
groups which in turn is founded on
the rights of the individual.
He suggested the development of
an inter-religion association through
a mutual understanding of the
various faiths rather than an at
tempt to build single overall form
of worship. Inter-religious fellow
ship is the basis for community and
interna tional understanding and
through this the way will be opened
for a better future world, he said.
The forum which developed into
q general discussion of postwar
prospects for religion was under the
Craftsmanship of DR.. Paul Douglass,
president of American University.
The scientific view of the problem
of inter-religious fellowship as a
power in post war reconstruction
will be discussed May 18 by the Rev.
Charles A. Hart of Catholic Uni
versity; DR.. Harold D. LassWell,
Library of Congress, and DR.. Mar
garet Meade, executive secretary of
the Committee on Food Habits of
the National Research Council.
