REFUND OF MEXICO DEBT IS WEIGHED Cardenas Studies Plan& to Reduce Obligation to 28 Pet. of Present Total. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, January 6.—An agreement to refund the Mexican gov ernment'* $275,000,000 foreign debt on the basis of a peso for each dollar was stated by an authoritative source last night to be before President Laz aro Cardenas for approval. , Pesos are now quoted at 3.60 to the dollar. Refunding the debt on this basis would reduce Its principal to ap proximately 28 per cent of the present amount. No payments have been made on the debt since 1928. The agreement was authoritatively Stated to have been worked out by representatives of an International Bankers' Committee for holders of Mexican bonds and the Mexican treasury department. It was said to provide for the issue of new 40-year bonds to bear 4 per cent interest. . Accumulated interest on the debt, piled up during the 30-year Porflrio Diaz dictatorship, which fell in 1910, virtually would be wiped out. A token payment only wUl be made on the interest in arrears, which, roughly, is equal to the principal, it was stated. President Cardenas, it was pointed out, has the authority to approve the agreement under special powers In fiscal matters granted him by Con gress for the first eight months of 1937. Not to be touched upon in the agreement, an authoritative source aaid, is the $250,000,000,000 national railways debt, with its accumulated Interest equal to the principal, which the government has guaranteed.

Neutrality (Continued From First Page.) call me unpatriotic?” he asked. "We got this business away from foreign nations into this country, where there is need for it.” Dineley declared his company was a "dummy” for several munitions Arms, I but added it has no connection with Cuse. Pittman forecast the embargo meas ure would be rushed through both houses without debate, but there were evidences he was somewhat too opti mistic. Some Senators were reported to feel that while the embargo probably was necessary, it demonstrated the neces sity for mandatory neutrality legisla tion fixing the rules of the game ahead of the need for action. They considered making the argu ment that action in the present case was bound to lead to misunderstand ing abroad and interpretations that the United States Government was unfriendly to the established govern ment in Spain. A plan for nationalizing five major branches of the munitions industry was drafted, meanwhile, by four for mer members of the Senate Munitions Investigating Committee, banded in what they termed an "anti-proAteering bloc.” The group—Including Senators Nye, Republican, of North Dakota; Bone, Democrat, of Washington: Pope, Dem ocrat. of Idaho, and Clark, Democrat, of Missouri—announced it also would introduce its own neutrality bill to “strengthen and expand the present act,” which expires May 1. A $30,000,000 appropriation will be sought, Nye said, to build or purchase plants in which the Government can produce all its own warships, armor plate, guns, powder and poison gas. In the Cuse case, the Government previously had believed that it might be two months before he would make any shipments. But officials said they learned that he had put extra crews to work to get the cargo ready. The State Department said It had issued the second license to Dineley reluctantly on his insistence. Nineteen export licenses were issued in all to the San Francisco dealer. Spain'* Mexican Envoy Luted. Dineley listed as consignee for the shipment Felix Gordon Ordas, whom he identified as the Spanish Ambassa dor to Mexico. (Ordas is reported en route by air to Washington from his poft in Mexico City on an unan nounced mission.) The new Dineley shipment was to be consigned to Ordas at Valencia, Spain, seat of the Spanish loyalist government, according to his applica tion for license. State Department officials declined to comment on reports that the Span ish government had established a large cash deposit In the United States to finance such shipments. Pointing out that considerable time probably would be required for Din eley to assemble his proposed ship ment and procure the necessary trans portation, sources close to the ad ministration felt there was little chance that his cargo could be dis patched before Congress can act. “It is obvious to us and should be obvious to the Spanish government," a State Department spokesman said, “that the chances for shipping under these (Dineley licenses) are exceed ingly slight. Congress should have plenty of time to take the necessary action to stop them." Madrid (Continued From First Page.) teers were heavily reinforced for a battle to drive the Fascists beck and keep the link with the mountain guard Intact. A war office bulletin reported the defense forces were bombing Fascist concentrations between Majadahonda, base of the attack on the highway, and Las Roms.

CRISFTELD, Md., January 6.—Mrs. Emma Fox Clinton, an experienced nurse from Washington, set up a Red Cross station on Smith Island to In struct the islanders in health and sanitation methods and administer to them in ease of repetition of last year’s isolation because of ice and cold. J. Millard Tawes, chairman of the OTisfield chapter of the American Red Cross, took Mrs. Clinton to the island In his yacht and Introduced her to the Red Cross leaders and eltlsens there. The nurse was sent from the Na tional Rad Ctas hsadgnartara to tip tiny island in the lower Chesapeake Bay fpr three months. She was pre pared to meet any general emergency that might occur there during the winter. Smith Island and Tangier Island, further down the bay in Virginia, were isolated for approximately two weeks a year ago because Ice Mocked the usual means of reaching the main land. Pood and medical supplies were taken to the Islands by airplane and dlrigiMe. Hawes said the nurse will do gen eral health work, instruct families in health and sanitation and conduct classes in home hygiene and earn of tbsMak. Given Licenses RICHARD L.

A war offlce communique from the southern front said insurgent Moors and legionnaires who escaped to gov ernment lines from the Jaen Province town of Villa Harta reported Spanish officers were almost entirely replaced by Germans throughout Andalusia. ■ “Whole brigades are formed by Germans,” the bulletin said govern ment commanders were told. Government troops were reported also to have penetrated deeper into Carahanchel Bajo, south of Madrid, and Villaverde Bajo. Advices from the Guadalajara sec tor, to the northwest, said recently captured positions were being fortified. Government authorities expressed gratification at reports the United States had licensed a San Francisco exporter to sell the Socialist regime airplanes, rifles, machine guns and ammunition valued at more than »4,500,000. DEATH TOLL SET AT 1,000. Fascists Say Madrid Defenders Suffer Heavy Losses. FASCIST HEADQUARTERS OUT SIDE MADRID, January 0 (A*).— Fascist artillery occupied the heights of Mount Cumbre today, isolating Madrid from Its Guadarrama forces by controlling the El Hscorial Highway below. . Gen. Francisco Franco’s insurgent Moon and legionnaires scaled the heights with heavy cannon after de feating Socialist troops in a three day battle in which 620 government soldiers were said to have been counted dead on the field. Insurgent officers reported to new field headquarters, just off the El Escorial highway about 15 miles northwest Of Madrid, they believed the defense army lost at least 1,000 men in the prolonged battle. Loyalist! Receive Gifts. The 36 loyalists who visited Rus sia returned to Spain laden with gifts. Europe (Continued From Pint Page.)_ membership of the National Defense Council. The Portuguese reply to the Pranco Britlsh demand that volunteers to either side in Spain be banned was described by foreign office circles as "temporizing.” Portugal, the only one of the Fascist bloc of nations to have answered, was said to have raised a number of ob jections without flatly rejecting the plan. Speculation was raised that the German and Italian answers might be similar. Informed opinion was that a naval blockade would be undertaken by France and Great Britain only if the German and Italian replies bring a complete deadlock. After their conference the two war ministers said they were "fully satis fied'* over their exchange of informa tion. They were reported to be in perfect agreement on the necessity to "syn chronize” 'the defense efforts of the two powers in the face of increasing danger that the Spanish conflict may provoke general European war, The question of the defense of the unfortified Spanish frontier has wor ried France since German volunteers have been moved to the aid of the in surgents. BRITAIN MASSES SHIPS. LONDON, January 6 (A>).—Great Britain ordered a mass movement of 172.000 tons of warships in the Mediterranean today after requesting Germany and Italy to answer by Sat urday her proposal to ban volunteers from the Spanish civil war. Pour of the British navy's largest fighting ships prepared to steam be tween Gibraltar and Malta in naval maneuvers described by the admiralty as "routine." but interpreted as "sig nificant" in the tense Spanish crisis. The Italian reply to the British sug gestion to halt the flow of foreign volunteers into Spain was expected to be ready for transmission today or to morrow. PALOS AFFAIR “CLOSED." BERLIN, January 6 UP).—Germany has no Intention of abandoning her patrol of Spanish waters, it was in dicated today, although she has marked the Spanish Socialist govern ments seizure of the freighter Palos a closed incident. The pocket battleship Admiral Scheer and the cruiser Nuernberg were prepared to sail from Kiel, it was learned, to relieve two of the war ships now in the Bay of Biscay to prevent "acts of piracy" on German merchantmen. The Nazi government has deter mined to regard the Palos affair as ended, informed circles said, regard less of the Spanish government's re fusal to heed a German ultimatum to release the cargo of the Pal06 and a captured Spanish passenger by $ a.m. Friday. Germany is determined to proceed with her announced intention of hand ing over to the insurgent junta of Gen. Francisco Franco two Spanish merchantmen it holds in retaliation. There will be no further reprisals in the Palos affair, It was stated, and Foreign Minister Konstanin von Neurath was thought to have ob tained assurances the Spanish gov ernment would refrain from further German ship seizures. PROTEST SENT LEAGUE. GENEVA, January 8 VP).—'The Spanish Valencia government lodged a double protest with the League of Nations today against alleged violation of her sovereignty by Italy and Ger many. The Spanish government asked League action on the German fleet's seizure of Spanish merchant ships and the sending of additional Italian volun teers to aid the Spanish insurgent at tack on Madrid. Officials Immediately set League ma chinery in motion to act on the protest and announced the note would be de livered to all member nations and the text published this afternoon. The Spanish protest thrust a new complication into international ef forts to keep the Spanish civil war confined to the peninsula. The Valencia authorltiee enumer ated the seizure of two Spanish freighters by German warships and the continued flow at volunteers to Spain to aid Fascist insurgents. SOVIET STEAMER STOPPED. GIBRALTAR, January 8 VP).—'The Russian steamer Belomorcanal, en route from Rotterdam to the Island of Elba, was halted today in the Straits of Gibraltar by an armed Spanish Insurgent trawler and con ducted to Ceuta, Spanish Morocco.

Lehman commuted to life Imprison ment today the sentences of three of six youths convicted of murdering Edwin Esposito, 22-year-old Brooklyn subway station attendant. The three saved from the electric chair are Eugene Bruno, 21; Bam Kimmel, 21, and Dominick Zlsao, 26. They were scheduled to be executed tomorrow night at Sing Sing with Jo seph Bolognia, 24: Salvatore 8cata, 18, and Theodore Didonne, 81. The Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed the conviction of Bolognia, Bcata and Didonne. but two associate Justices, Irving Lehman and John T. Loughran, dissented as to the convic tion of the others. The two dissenting Justices argued that an error in the trial Judge’s charge to the Jury substantially af fected the rights of the three men. The six were convicted of killing Edwin Esposito, a Brooklyn subway collector, for $200 in nickels and dimes i in September, 1035. Relatives, making their last visits to their Sing Sing prison cells, told them of a pavement prayer meet ing yesterday in which approximately 400 women gathered in New York in front of the Park avenue apartment building where Gov. Lehman lives, and prayed that he be lenient to the con demned. The Governor, however, was in Al bany, 125 miles away. District Attorney William P. X. Geoghan, who prosecuted the six, tele phoned the Governor last night after a long talk with three of the convicts. He declined to say what he had told the Governor. Warden Lewis E. Lawes told gray haired Robert O. Elliott, official execu tioner, to be ready to perform his duty. At the same time, Lawes arranged special visiting permits for the moth ers and fathers of the men who will compose the largest mass execution in the 8tate since 1911, when seven men were put to death in on* night. Mrs. Pearl Kimmel, the aged mother of one of the six, collapsed after visit ing her son yesterday. Her husband Abe, a tailor, stoically held up and placed his faith in the hope that Gov. Lehman would make his son a lifer by commuting the death sentence. WINNER FUNERAL RITES CONDUCTED Native of Pennsylvania Worked 36 Tears at Pension Office, Retiring in 1928. Jackson A.

The quadrumvirate—Bert Acosta, Frederick Lord, Gordon Berry and Ed die Schneider—had led the Spanish Socialist ' government’s “Yankee Squadron** on the Basque front in the far north.

Schneider told the European edition of the New York Herald Tribune “we quit because the Spanish government owes us $1,100."

William Nesbeth of Sioux City and Lee Bradley of Sioux Palls brought Harold Baker from Iowa Into South Dakota to execute him in the explosion of five tons of dynamite. Search for Nesbeth and Bradley continued in this area. Warrants charged both with murder. Mrs. Sieler remained In a Sioux Fall* hos pital. County officers cleared William Rice, on whose farm Reeves was cap tured late Monday, of charges of har boring a fugitive. Sheriff William T. Tice said Rice told them that he was not at home when Reeves came to the farm. POLICEMEN MUST LOCK CALL BOXES IN FUTURE An order yesterday by Police Supt. Ernest W. Brown will make it neces sary for many officers to resume fumb ling through heavy Winter clothes for their call-box keys. A complaint by the District's super intendent of telephones, to the effect that policemen had been stuffing matches in the locks on call-boxes to keep them from snapping into place brought about the order. At one time, keys were left in the box locks, but this practice was aban doned, largely because of vandalism. LAWYERS’ BRIEFS MSN PRINTING BYRON S. ADAMS 'iMtHrdiuppunt' Members of Congress!
