Grange Joins Co-operative
Council in Demanding
“Open Hearings.”
By tlie Associated Press.
The National Grange and the Na
tional Co-operative Council joined to
day in demanding a Senate vote, with
“open hearings," on all reciprocal trade
agreements with foreign nations.
At present only President Roosevelt’s
signature is necessary to make such
trade pacts binding. Tariff experts
study proposed pacts and report to the
President in advance.
Leaders of the two farm groups
argued that "industry has outbargained
agriculture" In the trade agreements,
allowing foreign farm products to enter
the United States so American indus
trial products could find new markets
abroad.
Fights Favored-Nation Clause.
The Farm Bureau Federation, silent
on the question of Senate ratification,
joined the other groups in opposing the
"most favored nation” principle used
in the pacts.
Although each trade pact is an
agreement between the United States
and one other country, each lowering
of tariffs affects many other countries.
Under some previous treaties, the rate
to Canada, for instance, cannot be
fixed lower than that to the other na
tions. In other words, these countries
demand the same treatment as the
1 "most favored nation” In that field.
The various farm organizations have
been meeting here to draft their legis
lative programs. The Farm Bureau's
Executive Committee was called to
gether today.
Some farm leaders have voiced sup- j
port for all-risk crop insurance, a Fed- |
eral farm tenancy program and con
i tinued Federal administration of farm
j programs.
Spokesmen for the farm groups said
a joint legislative program on which
all could agree would be developed, and
; that differences would be left for in
! dividual organizations to push “on
j their own.”
A $50,000,000 crop production and
1 feed loan bill will come before the
House Agriculture Committee early
this week in an effort to get it through
. Congress In time to avoid delay in
! making Spring seed loans.
Chairman Jones of the committee
said the measure would permit farmers
■ to borrow up to $400 instead of a max
imum of $200 in the present law.
Europe
(Continued From First Page.)
was made in the official gazette last
night.
The announcement declared the ac
cord, which became effective Decem
ber 18, renounced Portuguese rights
to German property acquired through
the treaty of Versailles after the
World War and The Hague conven
tion of September 1, 1929.
The Lisbon government has agreed
to turn back to Germany certain
properties taken over during the war
in both Portugal and her colonies and
to re-establish full rights for Ger
man citizens and companies.
FRANCE SEES NAZIS LEAVING.
Believes Franco Must Carry Out
Evacuation in Africa.
PARIS, January 11 UP).—Authorita
j tive French sources said today they
: considered that Spanish Moroccan
officials had made a tactit promise
to get Nazis out of the Northern
African zone and to prevent "new”
German troops from coming in.
Reading between the lines of a
tetuan denial that any “regular” Ger
man soldiers were in Spanish Morocco
or "expected,” these sources said the
Spanish Moroccan insurgent commis
sioner could hardly admit the presence
of Germans in violation of treaties.
It now is up to Gen. Francisco
Franco as to whether he will carry
out what they consider to be a promise
to end a reported German incursion
in Morocco, French officials said. They
added they were willing to give him
"a few days” to act.
But, with the general staff reported
considering the contingency of "neces
sary” French armed occupation of
Spanish Morocco, foreign office au
thorities made it plain they would
stand firm for ejection of the Ger
mans, whom they contend have gone
to the zone for both military and
commercial purposes.
Presence of Nazis Denied.
The French officials released a
statement by J. Beigbeder y Atienza,
Spanish Moroccan high commissioner,
that "there are no regular formations
and no contingents of foreign troops”
in the Spanish zone, and that none
were "expected.”
Drafting a second and stronger
warning while the general staff laid
plans for the emergency of a French
occupation of Spanish Morocco, offi
cials said France’s next move de
pended entirely on reports from
Northern Africa.
France, they declared, will act
promptly If these teports indicate
German troops are landing anew in
Morocco while the Nazis already re
main there.
A source close to the foreign office
said a new note was ready for delivery
to the Spanish Insurgent high com
missioner at Tetuan, Spanish Morocco,
declaring explicity that landing of
large bodies of German troops would
be the signal for French Invasion of
the Spanish zone.
Officials in Berlin denied knowledge
of the reported German Infiltration
and the press counter charged In big
headlines: "Secret Intention of
French General Staff! Annexation
of Spanish Morocco Planned!”
Nazi Press Attacks France.
While the International atmosphere,
already troubled by the Spanish civil
war, was clouded further by the Ger
man press attacks on France, cabinet
ministers cut short their vacations
and rushed to the capital.
The new note, It was said, again
would call attention to the new bar
racks at Ceuta, Spanish Morocco, and
warn that, If they were filled with
Nazis, French Moroccan troops would
Immediately move to eject the Ger
mans.
Under the general staff plans, it was
reported, the Spanish zone could be
occupied in 36 hours by a vast com
bined maneuver of land, aea and air
forces.
Algerian troops were reported on
the march to join th» Moroccan gar
rison, already swollen from 40,000 to
100,000 men—a colorful army of regu
lars, Foreign Legionnaires and Moors.
Extraordinary activity has been re
ported in the air force. It was known
at least M planes have been flown
Park Policeman’s Injury
Robs Him of Sense of Smell
Not Worried, but Misses
Aroma of Coffee Pot
on Chilly Mornings.
BY PHILIP H. LOVE.
Park Policeman Murrell K. Rasp
berry hasn’t been able to smell any
thing for nearly four months now—
and. In a way, he’s glad of It.
Raspberry, who lives at Barcroft,
Va„ lost his sense of smell last Sep
tember, when his skull was fractured
in a motor cycle accident in Rock
Creek Park. With three other motor
cycle officers, he was riding along
Normanstone drive—returning to park
police headquarters from a detail of
special duty—when the mishap oc
curred.
‘‘I don’t remember much about what
happened.” he said today. "I’ve been
told, though, that my machine got tan
gled up with one of the others, some
how, and that I rolled down an em
bankment. One of the other fellows
said I hit my head on the edge of the
road, but somebody else insisted my
motor cycle fell on me.
"Anyway, the next thing I knew,
I was in Emergency Hospital. I was
unconscious for six days, and—well,
from Prance to Morocco In the last
fortnight.
The combined British and French
fleets were massing oft the Moroccan
coast, prepared “if needed’’ to aid in
the expulsion.
BRITISH NAVAL CHIEFS CALLED.
Will Discuss Mediterranean Strength
at Foreign Office.
LONDON, January 11 (/P).—Brit
ain's highest naval chieftains were
summoned to the foreign office to
discuss empire strength in the Med
iterranean today after the govern
ment was reported to have received
information concerning “a certain
amount of German activity, in Span
ish Morocco.
Simultaneously, authoritative
sources disclosed four ranking ad
mirals have been called to Gibraltar
in advance of a British naval concen
tration around the fortified gateway.
First Lord of the Admiralty Sir
Samuel Hoare and Admiral of the
Fleet Sir Ernie Chatfleld conferred
with Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
on the Spanish and Moroccan situa
tions.
British representatives in North
Africa were instructed to send full
reports of alleged German incursion
into Spanish Morocco.
Informed sources asserted, however,
arrival of Nazi troops near Ceuta
could not be confirmed. Some sug
gested the Germans might be mining
engineers loaned to Spanish Insurgent
Gen. Francisco Franco.
Malta Governor Present.
The meeting of admirals at Gibral
tar was given increased significance
by the reported presence of Lieut.
Gen. Sir Charles Bonham-Carter,
Governor of Malta. Britain's central
Mediterranean naval base.
Ninety British warships and 15,000
regular army troops have been con
centrated in strategic positions near
Spain, official sources disclosed today.
Forty-one naval units are in and
near the Mediterranean, while 49
additional are en route to Spanish
waters.
British troop strength is divided
roughly as follows: Gibraltar, 2,670
men: Malta, 3,500, and Egypt, 9,600.
While London coupled the meeting
of the flag admirals with the return
to London of Prime Minister Stanley
j Baldwin to meet his cabinet, Great
Britain again took the lead in a des
1 perate attempt to keep Spain's civil
I war within the peninsula.
England placed an absolute ban on
enlistment of her citizens on either
side and dispatched a new note to
live principal powers asking to do
likewise.
Seek to Halt Volunteers.
The British note, sent to its Ambas
sadors at Berlin. Rome. Moscow, Paris
and Lisbon, sought to plug the stream
of volunteers to Spain without wait
ing for the slow-moving efforts of the
Non-intervention Committee.
In effect, Britain demanded that
interested powers stop intervention at
once, if they are sincere in their pro
i fessed desires to do so.
Officials were optimistic there would
; be no flat turn downs, but some sources
said cutting off British volunteers and
! asking others to follow suit would only
tie England's hands, while permitting
other nations to continue pouring vol
unteers into the "little World War.”
It was regarded as unlikely Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler of Germany would
be favorably inclined to the new ges
ture. He set out definite conditions
for his participation in any non-in
tervention scheme in answering a
previous demand.
Rome and Berlin in Harmony.
Rome was expected to act in close
harmony with Berlin, but here the
complicated picture took a strange
turn. The important political review
II Merlo emphasizes that Italy was
not favorably inclined to having Ger
many established as a power on the
Mediterranean through Moroccan in
fluence.
France, government sources said,
already had agreed to the ban on vol
unteers and was devoting her atten
tion to the reported Influx of Germans
into Morocco.
Her Atlantic and Mediterranean
fleets were steaming to the troubled
waters near Gibraltar.
TROOPS MASSED IN MOROCCO.
Commissioner Dentes Foreigners Are
Invading Territory.
CASABLANCA, French Morocco,
January 11 OP).—France massed Its
troops In the Northern Moroccan zone
today for ceremonial drill showing
its strength to act, If necessary, to
repel German invasion in West Africa.
The troops were assembled at
Meknes, in the interior of French
Morocco, and on the strategic railroad
connecting Fez, the capital, with Casa
blanca and other west coast ports.
The declaration of J. Beigbeder y
Atienza, insurgent high commissioner
of Spanish Morocco, that there were
no foreign troops in his territory was
interpreted as an Intimation his reply
to France’s note would deny any
German infiltration or military op
erations.
Acting on reports that Nazi troops
already have been stationed in Spanish
Morocco, others were expected and
strong fortifications had been started,
France.notified Spanish Fascist lead*
era any German invasion of Morocco
would be resisted forcibly.
Beigbeder spoke in the presence of
the French Consul at Tetuan. It was
said their relation* were cordial, but
authoritative sources expressed the
view a mere contradiction of the re
parts would not satisfy the French.
MURRELL K. RASPBERRY.

it looked as though my wire was go
ing to be a widow.”
The base of Raspberry’s skull was
cracked, and there was a gash half
way around his head. Eight stitches
were required to close the wound and
it was nearly two months before he
was well enough to return to work.
He didn’t notice his inability to smell
until some time after his discharge
from the hospital.
“It just sort of dawned on me,” he
explained, “that I hadn’t been smell
ing anything for quite a while. At
first, I thought I was mistaken; then
I made a few experiments.
“I went around the house sniffing at i
everything I could get my hands on—
ammonia, smelling salts, onions, all
kinds of things. But, so far as I was
concerned, there was no odor to any
of them."
Admittedly “a little woried,” Rasp
berry consulted his physician.
"The doctor told me I probably
never will be able to smell again,"
Raspberry continued, “but I’ve given
up worrying about it. Nothing In
the way of unpleasant odors bothers
me. Onions, limburger cheese, boil
ing cabbage, frying fish—they're all
the same to me. and I’m glad of It!”
Raspberry’s condition, his physician
explained today, Is due to injury
either to the olfactory nerve, at the
base of the skull, or to the brain cen
ter of the sense affected.
“Loss of one or more of the senses
as a result of severe fractures of the
base of the skull is not especially
rare,” the doctor said. “Restoration
of function after such an injury is,
however, almost unheard of.”
Raspberry, who has been on the
park police force for 10 years, suf
fers from occasional attacks of “dizzy
headaches” as a result of the acci
dent, but he Isn’t worried about them,
either.
“The only thing that bothers me,”
he confessed, somewhat wistfully, “Is
that I can’t get the aroma from the
good old coffee pot these chilly morn
ings.”

ishly threw up trenches, concentrated
forces and established military con
tacts.
Overcast skies retarded aerial war
fare.
Only men operating public services
and their families were exempted
from the drastic decree of the de
fense Junta commanding the popu
latlon to seek places of safety outside
the war zone.
The decision to empty the city of
non-combatants apparently was a
desperate measure in anticipation of
the imminent onslaught by Gen.
Francisco Franco's Insurgents against
the defenses which have resisted 11
weeks of siege.
It was broadcast over the thunder
of artillery fire almost at the city's
edges. There were no decisive re
sults.
Fascist shells scored several strikes
in government positions, but without
inflicting heavy damage. Eight mili
tiamen were injured.
Gen. Jose Miaja, defense comman
dant, announced casualties in the
heavy fighting of the past week prob
ably would reach 4,000. He said the
ranks of German troops fighting with
the Fascists were thinned considerably
because of their tactics of charging in
close formation.
Socialist machine gunners, Gen.
Miaja declared, cut down wave after
wave of insurgents, mainly Germans,
at Aravaca.
Insurgent officers estimated Social
ist losses on the Madrid front in the
same period at nearly 8,000 men, in
cluding 1,300 killed.
(They said the defense strength was
impaired not only by heavy losses in
battle, but also by desertions. A thou
sand Socialists, they said, crossed to
the insurgent ranks during the week.)
Battle in Mountains.
A brief government communique re
ported a heavy exchange of artillery
and machine gun lire between Fascist
and Socialist batteries in the Guadai
rama Mountain sector and at Somo
sierra, both northwest of the capital.
In Guadalajara Province, it report
ed, insurgents bombarded government
positions at Algora, about 60 miles
northeast of Madrid, along the impor
tant highway through Guadalajara.
Two boys were killed and many
other persons wounded in Malaga and
two others critically injured in Almeria l
during Fascist air raids or. the Medi
terranean Coast cities, reports from
Valencia said.
Two insurgent airplanes were said to
have bombed Almeria, while other
Fascist planes swept residential dis
tricts with machine gun fire. The cen
ter and suburbs of Malaga were heavily
hit in a similar raid, the report said.
FASCISTS CRUSH FOES.
AVILA, Spain, January 11 OP).—
Fascists crushed a government coun
ter-offensive at Villanueva del Par
dillo, 12 miles northwest of Madrid,
insurgent headquarters announced
today.
The Socialist flank movement be
hind the lines at Madrid was aimed
at territory from which government
troops were driven during the past
week.
Commanders said Gen. Francisco
Franco's insurgent shock troops were
massed for a charge against the Puerta
de Hiero—the ‘‘steel-gate” entrance—
of Madrid.
The city, they said, was hemmed in
all along the southern and w’estern
edges, with troops on Partride Hill
and at the San Fernando Railroad
bridgehead over the Manzanares River
waiting for the signal to attack.
Another Socialist attack on San
Claudio, in the Asturian sector in
northern Spain, was reported beaten
off.

Commerce Department Es
timates 7 Billions Over
Last Year’s Total.
By the Associated Press.
Commerce Department officials esti
mated today national Income would
rise to $67,000,000,000 this year—$7,
000,000.000 over the estimated 1938
total and about 87 per cent of 1929.
The estimate was based, they said,
on the assumption the Nation would
not be involved in a war, but it took
present labor disputes into account.
If these should be quickly ironed
out and no further labor trouble
develops, officials said, the figure
might reach $70,000,000,000, only $8,
000,000,000 under the 1929 level.
One important factor increasing
national income this year, they said,
may be rising prices and wages.
Preparing final estimates of income
for last year, Commerce Department
economists said it would be close to
$60,000,000,000, or $6,500,000,000 over
1935.
Compensation to employes in 1936
is expected to go above $40,000,000,000,
or about $4,000,000,000 over 1935.
A heavy outflow of dividends, wage
increases and bonuses at the end of
1936 had an important influence on
the year’s national income, officials
said, but its specific effects have not
yet been appraised.
The income computations were
those for “national income paid out,”
or payments by all Industry for
wages, dividends, interests, rents, etc.
