JACKSON DINNERS
ON LARGE SCALE
Fourth Anniversary of Pres
ident’s Inauguration to
Be Observed.
So successful were the Jackson day
dinners last January that Democrats
and other administration supporters j
again will be asked to eat the Demo
cratic party out of debt.
In a joint statement last night
Chairipan Farley and Treasurer Mor
gan of the Democratic National Com
mittee announced that March 4, the
fourth anniversary of President Roose
velt's Inauguration, will be the date
for a series of simultaneous dinners
throughout the Nation.
It is hoped that the proceeds will
wipe out the $500,000 deficit left from
the recent presidential campaign. Last
year's dinners raised nearly $350,000.
liquidated an eight-year-old party
debt.
For Raising Party Funds.
According to present plans, admirers j
of the President will gather in every |
section of the country for the dinners.
"We feel,"-said the statement, "just
as we felt last January, that this is
the most democratic method of raising
party funds. In this way, every mem
ber of the party has an opportunity to
contribute his or her share to the
cause, rather than that a few wealthy i
members should bear the brunt of it.”
Tickets will range in price from $3
to $100 a plate. The higher figure
will prevail at. the Number 1 dinner
which will be held in the Mayflower
Hotel, where President Roosevelt will
speak, addressing the other diners
throughout the country over a Nation
wide hook-up of all major radio net
works. All but $5 of the $100 will go
into the party treasury.
$10 at Second Dinner Here.
For those unable to attend the $100
dinner, a $10 dinner will he held at
the Willard Hotel. Last year. Mrs.
Roosevelt was the guest of honor at
the Willard affair.
The dinner in New York will be $50
a plate and will take place in the
Commodore Hotel. Either the Vice
President or Chairman Parley will
attend.
The size of- the community will regu
late the price of the dinners in other
sections.

ciety Sponsors Event.

insurgent fighters wounded in the
push.
The Fascists battered their way
through strong government opposition,
reinforced by militiamen from Madrid,
to within 6 miles of Marbella, which
lies about 30 miles southwest of Mal
aga.
A Britisher, just returned to Gibral
tar from Cadiz, today said he wit
nessed the landing there Tuesday of
a fresh contingent of Italians, which
he estimated at 4.000 armed men.
He said they came ashore from a
transport which bore neither flag nor
name.
Spanish troops in Cadiz, Seville and
Jerez, he said, were far outnumbered
by Italians and Moors.
(Previously sources close to the
French foreign office asserted 6.000
Italian "volunteers" landed at Cadiz
December 22 and another 4.000 on
New Year dav ]
INSURGENTS REPULSED.
Loyalists Cling to Barricades in Face
of Onslaught.
MADRID. January 16 UP).—Social
ist defenders of Madrid clung to their
barricades in the Northwestern Mon
tola sector today, twice throwing back
Fascists who hurled hand grenades a:
they charged.
Government officers said the Fas
cists were "no nearer capturing Ma
drid than two months ago.”
Women who insisted on remaining
with their men in Madrid were told
by Margaret Nelken, member of Par
liament. in a newspaper article, that
they were "nuisances” because theti
presence wras a drain on the city's
supplies. The government recently
began gradual compulsory evacuation
of women and those unable to fight.
1933 PACT IS DISCUSSED.
Possibility of Reviving Agreement Is
Topic in Rome.
ROME, January 16 UP).—The pos
sibility of reviving Premier Mussolini's
four-power peace agreement of 1933
was said in reliable quarters tonight
to have been discussed by 11 Duce
and Col.-Gen. Hermann Wilhelm
Goering of Germany.
The Italian premier and Reichs
fuehrer Hitler’s chief aide were rep
resented as seeking primarily an al
liance against communism and as
considering whether the bloc formed
under Mussolini's pact—Great Britain,

France, Italy and Germany—might
not be recreated.
(The treaty signed by representa
tives of the four countries at Rome
July 15, 1633, was designed to guar
antee peace in Europe for 10. years,
aid in reduction of armaments and
lead to bettering of economic condi
tions.
(The bloc split apart when Italy
invaded Ethiopia late in 1935. The
pact specified that signatories should
maintain and respect territorial in
tegrity and political independence of
League of Nations members. Ethi
opia was a member of the League.)
Some Fascist newspapers, which had
charged the French border close to
Spain was being ‘•Sovietized,” attacked
the action of the French Chamber of
Deputies in giving Premier Leon Blum
power to bar the frontier to volunteers
for the Spanish civil war.
The newspapers said Blum, despite
his profession of a desire for French
neutrality, could provide aid to the
Spanish Socialist government for a
time, at least, because he specified he
would not put the new regulations Into
effect unless other nations acted
similarly.
Premier Mussolini and Goerlng, who
is Nazi air minister, gave a new push
to recent aeronautical co-operation
between Italy and Germany In an in
spection of the vast Guidonla experi
mental aviation plant.
II Duce entertained the German
minister tonight at the Royal Opera
House, where the two diplomats heard
Glucks "Alceste.”
United States Ambassador William
Phillips and Mrs. Phillips, who turned
over their box to Goering's party, sat
in the box of the Governor of Rome,
Prince Piero Colonna.
NEUTRALITY DEBATED.
BERLIN. January 16 The
Mussolinl-Ooerlng conversations at
Rome, said authoritative sources to
night, are concerned with ways of
reconciling their sympathy for Spanish
•Fascists with an international non
intervention agreement rather than
increased aid for their friends in Spain.
It was indicated the mission of Gen.
Hermann Wilhelm Ooenng. Chancel
lor Hitler's chief aide in Italy, was
not primarily to consider an enlarged
program of help for Gen. Francisco
Franco’s insurgent regime.
The foreign office organ, Deutsche
Diplomatische Korrespondenz, clearly
indicated Germany and Italy are
ready to join Britain and Prance in
efforts to isolate the Spanish conflict,
if they can be sure none of the par
ties to a non-intervention agreement
will .“sabotage" it.
The high cost of helping Gen.
Franco was a factor in Berlin’s readi
ness to come to some neutrality agree
ment, it was authoritatively indicated.
With the cost of keeping one "volun
teer" in service in Spain estimated at
$5 a day, military and financial experts
placed the outside limit of German
“volunteer” aid to Gen. Franco at
25,000 men.
They doubted that figure even had
been approached thus far. Dr. Hjal
mar Schacht, minister of economics,
who has to raise funds for any such
enterprise, was understood to have
joined army leaders In opposing any
thing like a Oerman expeditionary
force to Spain.
Dr. Schacht was aaid to have pointed
out he cannot raise funds both for
sending “volunteers'’ to Gen. Franco
and for supplying the huge amounts
of materials demanded by the Ger
man army's rearmament program.

Woman Gives Name to Oslo Po

Ossietzky Personally.
Br the Associated Press.
OSLO, Norway, January IS.—Police
today seized the passport of the “mys
tery woman” who attempted to collect
the $37,000 Nobel Peace Prize awarded
to the German pacifist, Karl von

She said she was secretary to a
Dr. Kurt Wannow of Berlin and was
acting at his Instructions.
“I don't know Von Ossietzky or
