A—-12 = JACKSON DINNERS ON LARGE SCALE Fourth Anniversary of Pres- | ident’s Inauguration to Be Observed. 80 successful were the Jackson day | dinners last January that Democrats | and other administration supporters | again will be asked to eat the Demo- | cratic party out of debt. In a joint statement last night Chairman 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 wm‘ 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 | 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 methed 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 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 gu’ into the party treasury. $10 at Second Dinner Here. For those unable to aitend the $100 dinner, a $10 dinner will be 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 Farley will attend. The size of the community will regu- | late the price of the dinners in other ' sections. | TO HOLD “SHOWER” Hebrew Travelers' Sheltering So- ciety Sponsors Event.

(The treaty signed by representa- tives of the four countries at Rome July 15, 1933, 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 waen 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 Soclalist government for a time, at least, because he specified he would not put the new regulations into December 22 and another 4,000 on New Year day.] INSURGENTS REPULSED. Loyalists Cling to Barricades in Face of Onslaught. MADRID, January 16 (#).—Social- ist defenders of Madrid clung to their barricades in the Northwestern Mon- | tola sector today, twice throwing back | Fascists who hurled hand grenades as 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” presence was 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.

NEUTRALITY DEBATED. BERLIN, January 16 (#).—The Mussolini-Goering conversations at Rome, said authoritative sources to- night, are concerned with ways of reconciling their sympathy for Spanish eFascists with an international non- intervention agreement rather than increased aid for their friends in Spain.

C., JAnu. Hermann Wilhelm Goering, Chancel- lor Hitler's chief aide in Italy, was not primarily to consider an enlarged program of help for Gen. Prancisco Pranco's insurgent regime. ‘The foreign office organ, Deutsche Diplomatische Korrespondenz, clearly indicated Germany and Italy are ready to join Britain and France 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 ohe “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. Pranco 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 WY 17, base enterprise, was understood to have 1937—PART ONE. joined army leaders in opposing any- thing like a German !xpedmmury force to Spain. Dr. Schacht was said 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. J. P. Murchison to Speak. John P.
