BACKGROUND— Spanish non-intervention pact has been under negotiation for some months with agreements made only to be followed by subsequent charges of violations, especially on part of Italy and Germany. Control scheme in force today has been adopted by 27 European nations. Land observers and warships ringed about Spain will see that declared intention of powers to the pact, that no more soldiers and muni= tions reach the civil war combate ants, be carried out. By tke Associated Press. LONDON, April 20.—The nations of Europe today clamped tight a ring of men and warships about Spain to cut off volunteers and munitions from both sides in the civil war, despite the | heated protest of the Valencia gov- | ernment that the neutrality patrol violated international law. I At the stroke of midnight the | unique plan, formulated by 27 nations | to confine forcibly a war within stated geographic limits, went into effect. A few moments later, the 2,500-ton British freighter Sarastone applied to | the non-intervention commissioner nv.\ Bordeaux and obtained clearance to | Spain. The Sarastone carried a cargo of | food for starving Bilbao, and focused | attention on the blockade of the coast of Biscay by the insurgent fleet. International complications were feared if she attempted to run the insurgent blockade with an inter- | national neutrality observer aboard. Her shippers, hoping to avoid pos- | sibility of involving the British war- | ships patrolling the north coast of | Spain, expected the Sarastone to | abandon the trip to Bilbao and at- | tempt to land her cargo at some other Spanish port. The British government, before the land and sea patrol went into opera- tion, ordered its warships not to con- | voy British merchant vessels within | the three-mile limit of Bilbao. What the British vessels, now part of an international plan under which the neutrality of the Sarastone's cargo was guaranteed, would do should in- surgent warships open fire on the food | ship was not known. The British freighter Seven Seas Spray, steaming from a French port Jjust before midnight, ran an attempt- | ed Spanish insurgent blockade of be- DUQUISNE SILVER TOP “BEER* Dugusirs g e of Al | oslo sieged Bilbao today “The whole idea,” said the freighter’s chief owner, A. J. Pope, “was to show it 1s possible to get foodstuffs into Bilbao.” He referred to the British govern- | ment's refusal to protect merchantmen | within Spanish territorial waters. The Seven Seas Spray was thought [to be the first vessel bearing much- | needed food to slip past the insurgent | fleet since the blockade was laid down. The ship entered the Basque port on the northern coast of Spain this morning, according to reports here, from St. Jean de Luz, France, where she had been forced to take refuge from attacks of insurgent warsmpsvi At the same time a dispatch from said the Norwegian steamer Fagerstrand, with a cargo of salt, had been seized by the insurgents in the Straits of Gibraltar and taken to Ceuta, Spanish Morocco. The Norwegian government pro- tested strongly to the insurgent re- |gime of Gen. Franco and entered a claim for damages. While the fleet of some 60 vessels | of France, Britain, Germany and Italy churned the waters off Spain, 265 THE WEATHER ‘ | District of Columbia—Fair and some- what colder, lowest temperature to- night about 45 degrees; tomorrow mostly cloudy, followed by showers ut‘ night; moderate winds, mostly north- east.

Mmmzht 2 Today THE EVENING officers drawn from the British, Dan- ish, Dutch, Swedish, Belgian and Tur- kish armies took control of the land frontiers. All the roads and railroads of the Portuguese border were patrolled by 130 British officers stationed in motor caravans at strategic points to speed to any section where arms or men were reported being run over the in- ternational line. Another 130 army officers of varied nationalities took over control of the gendarmes and moblie guards prevent- ing the passage of contraband, human or otherwise, across the French border. Five observers functioned for the Non= Intervention Committee at Gibraltar. At various control ports 594 sea- going officials were ready to board ships, inspect their cargoes and escort them to Spain. Already at sea, aboard the Sarastone, was the 550th, whose action was typical of the system Europe hopes to enforce so that Spaniards and Spaniards only will fight their own war. At Bordeaux, he inspected the Sara- stone's cargo, found it legitimate and granted permission to the skipper to weigh anchor. As the vessel passes the ring of warships—British on the north, German and French on the south and Italian on the east of Spain—the official will signal to the STAR, WASHINGTON, fleet commanders to permit unmol- ested passage. After the cargo has been unloaded in Spain, he will be put ashore at some convenient port. Had the Sarastone not applied for clearance and been attempting to run & cargo of contraband for either side, she would have been halted by the patrol, boarded and inspected. Then she would have been allowed to pro- ceed, taking the risk of being captured or sunk by either insurgent or govern- ment warships. The patrol, however, would have im- mediately reported to the British gov- ernment, in this instance, the viola- tion of the strict neutrality laws for punishment of the shippers and the captain. The Spanish government at Valen- cia, however, defied the International Committee and warned its warships would be available to protect any ship- ping that asked for it, particularly on the coasts patroled by Germany and Italy. The international control, the gov- ernment charged, was virtually a blockade and “unjust and contrary to international law.” SHIP REPORTED CAPTURED. | HENDAYE, France, April 20 (#).— Spanish insurgent sources reported t D. C., TUESDAY, day an insurgent warship had cap- tured s merchant vessel trying to take 30 unmounted airplanes, as well as machine guns, rifles and munitions, to the Northern Spanish ports of Bilbao and Santander, The name and nationality of the ship were withheld, but 1t was said the vessel sailed from a Mexican port. The seizure, insurgent sources said, occurred in Spanish territorial waters. MADRID HEAVILY SHELLED. Effort Believed Being Made to Spread General Havoc. MADRID, April 20 (#).—Insurgent guns poured shell after shell into down- town Madrid in what Spanish govern- ment officers believed was “an earnest effort to create havoc in the city regardless of losses of property and life.” ‘The bombardment took “many vic- tims,” officials announced, in addition to causing extensive damage to build- ings along the Gran Via, the capital's principal business thoroughfare. It was the ninth consecutive day of heavy shelling and the worst bombard- ment since a week ago Sunday. Ex- plosions followed one another at short intervals. The Gran Via was littered with broken glass and cracked masonry. One big shell pierced five floors of a 1937. building, landing on the second floor just above a crowded shop. It did not explode, however. Across the street another projectile burst in & shop packed with refugees. As this story was being written, there was another explosion in the street. A plece of pavement came sailing through the door of the building where newspaper correspondents were work- ing. A man pulling a cart in the street had fallen, wounded. A street car loaded with passengers was showered with debris, APRIL 20, Best Remedy Is Made at Home You can now make at home a better sray hair remedy than you can buy by | following this simple recipe: To hi pint of water add one ounce bay ru; box of Barbo Compound and | Any | druggist can put this up or vou can| mix it yourself at very little cost.
