tics Is a purely family affair.
Mrs. Jones existence is bounded
by her husbands interests and ac-
tivities and she makes no bones
about it. According to her, this has
been so since the beginning Of their
married life.
Mrs. Jones is always willing to
fish out some anecdote about her
earlier married life back in Texas.
She tells the story about one of the
first presents her handsome, ag-
gressive husband gave her. 1t was
a beautiful pearl gray electric auto
mobileS upholstered in fine gray
cloth. 1t was easily distinguishable
miles away Mrs. Jones always
parked in front of the poolroom
because the respectable citizens of
the town, no matter where they
might be at the moment, always
left the space in front of the pool
room vacant. They chose not to
leave their cars in front of it and
there was therefore plenty of park
ing space in that block
Mrs. Jones car was so well known
that its presence in front of the
poolroom was information to the
citizenry that she was down the
street taking her music lesson. On
one occasion her husband, anxious
to get in touch with her, phoned
the poo3room and asked if Mrs
Jones electric" was in its Gus
tomary place On hearing that it
was, he asked the attendant to
watch out for Mrs. Jones and to
give her a message when she came
to pick UP the car.

Washingtonians, who have nothing

even more interested in the per-

developed "a hitherto impossible
technique" which will ENABLE Amer

10 U. 5. Citizenship
Challenged in Suif
BY the Associated press,

~ ssC 6soOCldtcQ fIeSS.
Contending that membership In
the Falange, described as the "pro-
totype in Spain Of the Fascist and
Nazi parties of Italy and Germany"
is disqualification to American
citizenship, the Justice Department
filed suit today to denaturalize .
resident Of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The defendant is Isidro Conde
Fernandez, who came to Puerto
Rico from Spain in 1915 and was
naturalized in March, 1912. He all
legedly joined the Falange In 1888.
Attorney General Biddle said the
Government will contend the
Falange doctrine is incompatible
with the well-being of the United
States and its Constitution, and
that a member or former member
of the Falange cannot meet the
legal test of being well disposed
to the good order and happiness" Of
this country.
Other Proceedings May Follow.
The decentralization proceeding,
filed in United States District Court
at San Juan, is the first such pro-
ceeding based on membership in the
Falange, but Mr.. Biddle indicated
others might follow.
Dozens Of decentralization suits
have been filed against German
Americans on the basis of member
ship in the Bund.
The Justice Department an
nouncement of the San Juan action
noted that Generalissimo Francisco
Franco, who heads the Spanish
government, also heads the Falange
and dictates it's DEGREES"
Secret Oath Taken.
Mr.. Biddle said that the aims Of
the Falange include the restoration
Of the Spanish empire of old, and
that its affiliates in foreign coun-
tries, known as the Falange exte-
rior, receive their sanction and or
ders from Spain" He stated that a
secret oath taken by Falangists in
cludes this declaration:
L swear to maintain, above every
thing else, the idea of unity, unity
of command, unity of destiny, unity
of thought, firm unity of all the
lands of Spain, unity among the
