PARIS, Feb. 27.-Foreign Min
lister Georges Bidault was re-
ported to have informed the
Foreign Affairs Commission of
the Constituent Assembly today
that he had requested American
and British support for French
effort to bring Spain before the
United Nations Security Council
on charges of endangering in
ternational peace and security.
Deputies emerging from a COM
mission meeting said Mr.. Bidault
told them he had made the appeal

day, following its decision to close
the French-Spanish border to trade,
effective at midnight Friday.
France to Take Initiative.
These Deputies said the Foreign
Minister asserted that France would
take the initiative for bringing the
Spanish situation before the Secur-
lty Council at its next meeting
scheduled for March 81, even if neg
atlve replies were received from the
United States and Britain.
Spanish authorities were reported
authoritatively from Barcelona to-
day to have closed the French
Spanish border at Port Bou near the
Mediterranean coast. Neither trains
nor persons were allowed to cross
the frontier. Foreign Office spokes-
men refused comment.
Gn London a British Foreign
Office spokesman today depre-
Gated the action of the French
government in ordering the
French-Spanish frontier closed.
Such incidents, he said, were
likely to prolong Generalissimo
Francisco Frances regime by
making the Spanish chief of
state "a national hero instead of
a refugee"
(The spokesman said the United
States had sent a note to Britain
discussing the possibility of an
interim government in Spain

Evacuation DeudIine
By the Associated Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Feb. 26 de-
layed).-A Soviet Embassy off,
cial gave assurance today that
Russian troops would be with
drawn from Northern Iran, but
the Iranian Foreign Ministry
and military observers said there
was no apparent sign of a Rus
sian evacuation.
An American officer said he be-
lieved it was impossible" for the
Russians to withdraw by March Q
the date agreed on for the evacua-
ton of all foreign troops from Iran
1ranian officials complained a few
weeks ago to the United Nations
about the actions and presence of
foreign troops in Northern Iran in
connection with an autonomy move
ment in the northwesternmost
province of Azerbaijan, charging
there had been "a number of inter-
ventions in Iranian affairs by Soviet
authorities"
The United Nations Security
Council disposed of the complaint
by referring it to the Soviet and
Iranian governments for direct
negotiations, retaining the right to
call for progress reports.
Iranian negotiators, headed by
Premier Ahmed Qavam es Sal
taneh now are in Moscow.
Lines Being Taken Down.
Prince Firouz, undersecretary of
state, expressed the opinion that
Russian troops certainly will be out
of Iran" and added that the Soviet
army communication lines already
were being taken down north of
KaZvin.
An official in the Soviet consulate
to whom the Associated Press was
directed to renew an application
for permission to enter Azerbaijan,
said: Surely, we will be out
Asked why it was necessary to
seek Russian permission to enter
the province after Russian troops
were scheduled to leave, he replied
1--WE here are only the little peo-
pie. How can we say what our gov
ernment will do?"
Reports of disorders in Northern
Iran continued to trickle into the
capital.
"Trespassers" Stopped.
Prince Firouz termed outbreaks
reported yesterday from Gilan as
only minor incidents between rival
political parties"
Newspaper reports said a column
of 600 heavily armed "trespassers
had been stopped IL miles north OF
the Caspian seaport of Pahlevi after
they had captured the town of
Karganrud and attacked the village
of Shafarud.
The source of the information was
not given and none of the newspa-
perS speculated as to how the ad-
vance was stopped. The editor of
the leading afternoon newspaper
Ettelaat said the "trespassers were
assumed to be Democratic Parti-
sans"
A cabinet member, who may not
be quoted by name, said the govern
ment was much concerned with the
Gilan situation" He said he feared
the attacking column was composed
of "Azerbaijan Democrats"
American and other diplomatic OBJ
servers expressed the opinion that
the number of attackers was exag-
gerated.

oPA INTENDS TO HOLD THE LINE

The Gamers of Cecil County learn
National Convention at Atlantic City
that the OPA intended to hold the
ine" on Gamer prices with perhaps
minor adjustments for labor increas-
es to be brought about by pending
Minimum Wage Law.
They were advised by Secretary
Anderson of the Department of Agri-
culture that no increase would be au-
-horized in grower prices which on
sweet corn are today $3.50 above
parity.
After meeting with the Buyers and
Brokers they fuond that there would
oe very heavy demand for canned
-omatoes, which were very short this
past year, and for fancy whole grain
corn, both white and yellow.
The Gamers of Cecil County are
therefore, anxious to contract full
acreage so that they can run their
plants to capacity.
At, Atlantic City special built
sweet corn picker was offered for the
first time and all of the local Gamers
have purchased one or more for ex-
perimental use during this season.
1t is hoped that these pickers will
be delivered in time for harvesting
this years sweet corn crop. They are
tractor mounted, two row pickers,
which are said to handle ten acres
per day.
In TIE light of the above facts and
the heavy demand for acreage for our
local factories who pay local taxes
and employ local labor. and supply
great quantities of ensilage to local
dairymen. the Gamers of Cecil Coun-
ty note with regret and concern the
tendency of certain Gamers, not of
this County, who have ample acreage
available at home, coming to Cecil
County and contracting acreage,
which is badly needed by local peo-
pie, for their distant plants from
which no cattle feed can be returned
for the benefit of our dairymen and
where our local unemployed workers
that for TIE benefit of the community
as whole and the long range selfish
advantage of the growers themselves,
that this practice be discouraged.
The farmer can cooperate by in
creased acreages of sweet corn and
tomatoes on which contracting is now
beginning.
Truckers interested in hauling
sweet corn or husk should contact
the Gamers who are now making
their plans and unemployed men and
women should register for work with
the Gamers so that full crews might
be organized we'll in advance and the
Gamers thereby feel justified to ask
as heavy acreage contracts as pos
sible in this emergency.
Respectfully submitted,
Cecil County Gamers,
F. S. SILVER, Secretary.

his wife and five-year-old daughter.
1t would be the first meeting in two
years, he told the Red Cross girl who
was teaching him rumrny with Braille
cards.
"My little girl knows Pm blind and
she's planning how she'll do things for
me-" he said.
But what she did not know, what
had been kept from him so that it
might not retard his readjustment,
was the way he was SCARED and dis
figured.
The Red Cross girl caught her
breath. "That's fine," she said. "I'll
meet them at the train"
Her heart sank upon seeing the
tiny girl. 1t would be a job to pre-
pare her for the shock, to make sure
she did not let her father suspect
there was anything wrong.
Gently she told the child about her
daddy's face, how it would get better,
how much he loved her, and that she
mustn't be afraid. Then, with a
prayer in her heart, she led mother
and child to the blinded soldier.
The crucial moment had come. Now,
upon the actions of little girl, the
future of this family would depend.
For moment the tot stood in the
doorway, looking at her father across
the room. Then, without hesitation,
came the patter of little feet, and she
threw her arms around her fathers
neck. Daddy" she cried, Daddy,
it's me-we're so glad to have you
backw
A simple service, yes. But it de-
termined the happiness of three
people. Without the understanding
heart, and the many who daily give
of their minds and souls, the adjust
ment of thousands of servicemen
might be seriously retarded.
The American Red Cross needs
$1OO,OO0,OOO to carry on during the
next fiscal year. That sum is small
when stacked against the heartaches
stilled, suffering eased, misery re-
lieved, new hope infused-day in, day
out-because of Red Cross ministra-
tions.
Because farm families have a big
stake in the Red Cross they consis-
tently support the organization. The
Red Cross is confident that families
in agricultural areas, the backbone o1
the nation, will generously support

Tax Diversions

Oregon in 1919 was the first state
to tax gasoline for highway purposes
and others rapidly adopted this
means of raising revenue. In 1925,
this tax was used for something
else for the first time. Up to 1882,
raiding the gas tax was nominal,
but in the past IL years, the states
have been dipping in more and more
until the staggering total of more
than $4,000, 100000 was reached.
Figures for 1943 show $155, ASS, ,OOO
diverted from a net total receipt
of $1,lO8, ,849, 1000 which came from
motor fuel taxes, motor vehicle fees
and fines, motor carrier taxes and
the like. Among the states max
ing the greatest diversions were New
York, California, Florida, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Texas, Georgia and

London Bridge

There are IS passenger bridges
over the Thames in London county.
Oldest and most famous is the 80
called London bridge which, though
frequently rebuilt, has occupied
about the original site of Roman
days. It was London's only bridge
over the Thames until 1850. The his
toric bridge, razed in 1881, had
been the first of London's stone
bridges. It served the city for more
than six centuries. Over it crossed
the hundreds of Canterbury pill
grims, since before Chaucer's time.
Holiday crowds passed over it to
the Globe and other theaters, and to
the bear-baitings in Southwark. It
was the gateway into London for
travellers landing at channel ports.
