 Washington, May 25 - (U.P) = Prime Minister winston Churchill'S surprise defense of Generalissimo Francisco Franlco of Spain was be- heved in some quarters today to be 8 British attempt to protect Allied interests during the invasion of Europe.
 But anti-Franco sources de- nounced 1t as 'appeasement" and charged that Franco Spain was @ threat to the Allies.
 T have no sympathy with those who think 1t is clever or even fun ny to insult and abuse the govern lnent of Spain," Churchill told Com- mons yesterday. "Spain's interna- tional politics are a matter for the Spaniards alone"
 Even some British quarters here wondered why Churchill felt it nec- eSSary to apologize to the Franco regime in such terms.
 Julio Alvarez Del Vayo, the last foreign minister of the Republic of Spain before Franco triumphed in 1889, told the United Press.
 'The protective measures which have been taken by the Allies these days to protect the invasion will be incomplete as long as they permit an out post of Hitler to remain at their backs. This is what Spain has converted itself into because of Maxi penetration and Franquista bertyal-an outpost of Hitler, placed right at the rearguard of the Allied armies.
 There was general understanding of Churchills desire to guard against trouble in Spain during the invasion, but there was feeling in many quarters that he had gone out of his way to denounce Francois critics, who include a large segment

New Post ForHoIsey
By SANDOR s. KLEIN
United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Stan Correspondent) Washington, May 25.-(UP)-Ad- miral William F. Halsey, Jr., one of the most daring tacticians in the U. S. Navy, is slated for a new assign ment so important that its disclos- ure now would provide the Japa- nese with vital war information.
 Secretary of Navy James V. For restal's unwillingness to discuss Hal- sey's new assignment was indicated by statement that, whatever say could be used constructively by the Japs."
 Meanwhile, Forrestal disclosed the first of an expected series of changes in the Navy high command. Vice Admiral Aubrey w. Fitch, who serv- ed as Halsey's air commander, will replace Vice Admiral John s. Mo Cain as deputy chief of naval opera tions for air. This is an important post because it provides the naval air arm with representation on the Navy's top command.
 McCain's new assignment has not yet been decided.
 Halsey, the rough and tumble commander of the south Pacific area, is due to leave that post soon. Dis patches from the south Pacific have indicated that the command in that area may be dissolved because the war has moved westward deep into Gen. Douglas MacArthur,s territory.
 There have been suggestions that because Halsey has been at sea steadily for a longer period that any other top commander in the Pacific. he may get desk job in Washington.
 Forrestal told reporters that you can say Admiral Halsey is not go- ing to be an emeritus character" This was interpreted in some quar- ters to mean that the admiral would be continued in q combat post.
 At the present time major U. S. Naval activity in the Pacific is taking place in the area of the cen.

Harold Bell Wright Dies
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood
 C0rreanQndent

Hollywood, May 25-(UP)-Har- old Bell Wright who kept the critics writhing and the masses happy for 20 years with his books about love triumphant, will be buried in the seclusion he sought but never found during life.
 The 72-year-old Wright succumb- cd in . La Jolla. Cal, hospital late yesterday to bronchial pneumonia, after the most spectacular literary career = financially speaking - in American history. Funeral services will be private for the house paint CT turned preacher, who wrote his first book because the workingmen at Pittsburg, Kan. in 1903 were more warmly welcomed in the sa- loon than in the churches.
 That book was called "the printer of Udel's." It preached such a strong moral lesson that the critics said 1t was vapid. It was an immediate success. Wright abandoned the pul- pit for the pen and for two decades turned out at least one novel a year. They all preached moral lessons. the intellectuals lambasted every one, and Wright waxed rich. No other books, aside from the bible, sold so well as his.
 Tn rapid succession he turned out such novels as "the calling of Dan Matthews" '~Tiae Shepherd of the Hills" 'The Winning of Barbara Worth" ~The Eyes of the World" 'aThe Recreation of Brian Kent" Helen of the old House." God and the 0roceryman." and many an- other. in all of which the good man bested the bad man and won the hand of the beautiful heroine.
 Eight of his books became movies and Wright for years was Q familiar figure around Hollywood, where he achieved the front pages when he refused to let producer Sol Lesser make Q talkie Of ''When 4 Mans A Afan." Wright claimed he had sold 1t as c silent picture and he didn't intend to have his characters talk ing out loud. Lesser sued and won. The picture was an outstanding hit, despite the critics, who never did change their minds about Wrlghs's literary cutpourinss.

 London, May 25-(UP)-Bulgaria has until midnight tonight to reply to a Soviet ultimatum that she abandon her pro-G German policy, the Daily Mail said today, but London sources saw little prospect that she would yield.
 Reports reaching Switzerland and Sweden said the Germans had been pouring endorsements into Bul- garia since Tuesday in sufficient strength to keep that country firmly within the Axis orbit even if she should desire to break with Ger many.
 The German troop movements, coupled with the Soviet ultimatum, conversely may result in a complete break between Russia and Bulgaria. Though Bulgaria is at war with the United States and Britain, she has maintained relations with the So- viets because of strong racial ties.
 Some observers linked the Ger man DNB agency's disclosure that a special anonuncement" was ex- pected next Sunday to the Bull garian situation.

FRIEND OF PAUL
LAWRENCE DUNBAR dies

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. =
(ANP)-Edward F. Arnold, asso-
ciate and close friend of the famed
poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, died
after brief illness at his home here.
Mr.. Arnold had been a resident of
Washington since 1869, coming to
this city when quite young from his
birthplace in GAINESVILLE, Ohio. Upon
reaching majority, he taught school
in Maryland and in New Jersey be-
fore accepting position as clerk of
the A. M. E. Zion Publishing House,
located then in Philadelphia.
He returned to Washington to ac-
cept a post in the government, and
for 40 years, until his retirement in
1882 he was employed in the pen
sion office.
Many interesting stories have
been told of his association with the
brilliant Dunbar. 1t is said that Mr..
Arnold advanced the struggling
poet funds to make a trip to New
York where he had been invited to
give a reading before Dunbar
achieved fame. AS a result of this
act the two became very close
friends.
The two men were constant COM
panions until Dunbar's untimely
death. They both were married
about the same time and as was
customary in those days, the two
grooms took their respective brides
to church the Sunday morning fol-
lowing the wedding in sort of for
ma presentation. Mr.. Arnold fre-
quently told the story with gusto
that as the two pairs came out of
he church together and were re-
ceiving congratulations from we'll
wishers, one gentleman stepped up
and said, ''Fve never seen two love-
her brides nor sumr homely hus-
bands"
He would have been 81 years old
had he lived until October %, his
birthday.
Surviving are two grandchildren,
son, Edward, one daughter, Sarah
and a sister, Miss Laura Arnold
Mrs. Arnold died in January, 1910
