ONTRADEACCORDS |Grange Joins Co-operative Council in Demanding “Open Hearings.”, | By the 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 ‘m the pacts. Although each trade pact is an agreement between the United States iuud 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 | “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- | port for all-risk crop insurance, a Fed- | eral farm tenancy program and con- | tinued Federal administration of farm | 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 | dividual organizations to push “on their own.” A $50,000,000 crop production and {feed loan bill will come before the | House Agriculture Committee early | this week in an effort to get it through ‘Conzress 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. o Europe (Continued From First Page.) 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 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 (#).—Authorita | tive French sources said today the; | 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 i 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 ur 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 & 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 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, sea and air forces. Algerian troops were reported on the march to join the Moroccan gare rison, already swollen from 40,000 to 100,000 men—a colorful army of regu- lars, Foreign Legionnaires and Moors. was made in the official gazette last | World War and The Hague conven- | THE EVENI NG _STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, 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 France to Morocco in the last fortnight. The combined British and French fleets were massing off 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 (#)—Brit- in'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 Ernle Chatfield 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 "ot the flag admirals with the return to London of Prime Minister Stanley aldwin to meet his cabinet, Great | Britain again took the lead in a des- | war within the peninsula. England placed an absolute ban on enlistment of her citizens on either side and dispatched a new note to five principal powers asking to do likewise. Seek to Halt Volunteers. The British note, sent to iis 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- | 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 Il 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 Denies Foreigners Are Invading Territory. CASABLANCA, French Morocco, January 11 (P).—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 ! perate attempt to keep Spain's civil | MURRELL K. RASPBERRY. —Star Staff Photo. it looked as though my wife 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 | rything I could get my hands on— ammonia, smelling salts, onions, all kinds of things. But, s0 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 i.!” Raspberry’s contiition, 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- Battle (Continued From First Page.) ishly threw up trenches, concentrated forces and established military con- tacts.

Prancisco 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 fire between Fascist and Socialist batteries in the Guadaz- 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 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 (#).— 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. Prancisco 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 western 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. .

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.
