It1s a triangle of the Vatican bounded by the courtyards of St- Damasus, Marshal and Holy Office. There they1!! stay behind sealed door§, the windows covered with whitewash, until a column of white smohe is seen pouring out of the chimney over the Sistine Chapel. That column will notify the world that the two hundred and sixty-second Pontiff, the successor to the widely beloved Pius the Eleventh, has been chosen by the College. The personnel of the College was made complete today when His Eminence, the &33B* Cardinal of Boston, arrived in a swift motor car from Naples. Though two Popes have been elected since Archbishop O'Connell became Cardinal, this will have been CARDINAL - 2 the first time he has had a chance to help in the voting. Tonight those sixty-two venerable gentlemen are literally incommunicado, completely cut off from the outside world, they and their secretaries and their attendants, some two hundred of them SPAIN A dark haired, big eyed ladythe center of the stage in Spain today. Her name is Dolores Ibarri. She is Vice-President of the Cortez, the Spanish Republican Parliament, and one of the most fiery Communist leaders. The Red partisans know her as "La Pasionaria", the impassioned one. She is making a last minute passionate effort to hinder the settlemert of the Spanish Civil War, Her impassioned statement was; "As long as we have an inch of ground left we will fight." Then she added; "We realize the gravity of the situation, but are confident in the masses. We know they won’t surrender.' We also have confidence in the world democracies and we believe there are still some who will aid usj L <X , As Vice-President of the Cortez, she is YWvO A government executive left in that part of Spain which is still — held by the Republican armies.

There was a mutiny in the fleet,a# xt was suppressed, to be sure, but not until several leaders hsd been sentenced to death by court martial. This report comes by way of Franco*s own radio station at Burgos, —__ 0 -- ——-— Today^Fp&nco*s government was recognized by President Vargas of Brazil. PETAIN A rather astounding report just came over the wire from Paris, It concerns the new Ambassador from France to the Nationalist Government of Francisco Franco, Premier Daladier*s choice is none other than Marshal Petain, Yes, living soldier the great veteran of the World War la France Franco,whether the A question has been sent to Field fiarshal would be welcome at Burgos. There seems to be little doubt that he will. Franco and petain are old friends. They worked together several years ago drawing up plans for the pacification of Morocco GOERI j G Adolf Hitler1s pal, Goering, banged the big drum today. As you know, the Field Marshal is among other things the Humber One manof Germany^ huge air fleet. It was to him that Hitler has given credit for the size and efficiency of that force. And todays Goering, as Commander-in-chief, was celebrating the fourth birthday of Germany's renaissance as the great air power. The Field Marshall spoke to the whole country in a radio broadcast. The German air force, he declared, was the deciding the factor in & k Munich Conference.when Chamberlain virtually made Hitler a present of Czechoslovakia. The most puzzling thing that Goering said was that it^s the aim of the Bazi government to bring the German population up to a hundred million. Their complaint at present is that there lsnft room in Germany, even with the territory recently acquired, for eighty million Germansl SAITO The body of the late Japanese Ambassador Saito will return in state to the land of the cherry blossom* It ..ill be carried on one of Uncle Sam1s warships ffS9 Roosevelt issued an order today to the Navy Department from the cruiser HOUSTON, which is bringing txia to Charleston. The order is to turn over 4 one of our heavy cruisers for this gesture of courtesy to Tokyo* DEBTS Here*5 a suggestion for a method by which Great Britain and France and other countries might pay part of their war debts to Uncle Sam* The suggestion comes from two Republican senators^ &£- t-?rerTjrri^.xj£' Lodge of Massachusetts and McNary of Oregon. They present the suggestion in the form of a resolution for the Senate. The idea is that the countries in default might make their payments in raw materials, that is raw materials which we do not produce. In this way it is calculated that countries owe us money could provide at least part of the hundred million dollar emergency reserve of war materials which the Military Affairs Committee of the Senate has okayed.. Lodge and McNary likewise suggest that France and Britain might also make a partial payment by allowing Uncle Sam to use territory owned by Britain and France in the Western Hemisphere for defense purposes. They mention specifically islands in the Caribbean and the Pacific, and territory o>.ned on the mainland of South America. HULL Secretary of State Hull is dead against the notion of having a referendum e# future wars. He said the A Constitution, which left to Congress the power to declare war, had been decided by the founders of the Republic after fullest deliberation. Then he added: ^Needless to say, experience has proved the wisdom and practical judgment of the patriots and statesmen. This system has been successful over a period of a hundred and fifty years. DEFENSE To fortify or not to fortify the fsland of Guam, tiiat is Question, The House of Representatives turned thumbs dov.n. However, the Senators are not yet convinced^) The Naval Affairs Committee will call witnesses and hold a hearing before they decide whether to concur with the House. And that can*t be done until the fleet maneuvres are over and the high ranking admirals are back in Washington. The proposal to fortify Guam has one opponent to begin with. ThatTs Borah of fdaho. Said he- TtI would^t oppose the fortification of Guam if I believed it to be to the interest of national defense, but I have plenty of testimony from experts that it is not.” Then he added: ”To fortify Guam properly would ultimately cost billions and would utterly bankrupt the nation.” ternoop^he argument becan^fioisy^an There was ^bitter 'quarrel between K^ublican Senator Bridt^ of Jlew Hanj^iire anj^emocratj^tenator Cotially ef five -eet>i-e-s—’■e-f—t-he. Texas PROPAGANDA Foreign propagandists ire spreading like mirobes thio ugh the rank, and file of our army and navy. That sounds like a sensational sca.rehea.d_5 actually it comes from the Acting Secretary of the Navy, Charles Edison. Foreign agents, particularly Coiamunists, are so active that the law of the land at present is inadequate. So the Navy Department has drafted a bill which provides special penalties for people who are trying to arouse soldiers or sailors to disobey orders. nThese agents," says Edison, "particularly Communists, are distributing^throughout the rank and file^literature of a nature subversive to the government. It urges the men to be disloyal and to disobey laws and regulations." ALIENS Th^ payrolls of the l.P.A. are being restricted to American citizens, lord comes from Washington that the Works Progress Administration has started rooting out all aliens from jobs. This is in accord with a clause written into the Relief Bill which appropriated seven hundred and twenty-five aciiiigre millions. Senator Burns of South Carolina declared that there were as many as thirty thousand non-Americans on the relief roils,. The W„P.A, officials are now cheeking up the nationality and citizenship of everybody on the rolls. LAP OR President Roosevelt s effort to establish peace in the labor world tonight. The President of the WUl % American Federation of aefc Labor, had appointed A ^ Daniel Tobin, ^resident of the Teamsters Union, as one of a Committee to help make peace with the C.I.O. Tobin has all along been the principal advocate of peace within the A.F. of L. So it was natural that he should baone of the Federation’s negotiators But late this afternoon he declined to serve. He said; "Because of the enormous amount of work involved and innumerable wage contracts expiring in this large international union, it is absolutely and utterly impossible for me to serve as a member of the Committee."
