FRENCH VESSELS ASK PROTECTION Warships to Watch Boats. Spanish Insurgents Search One Craft. By the Associated Press, HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Fron- tier, June 6.—French naval authorities tonight ordered warships attached to the Port of Saint Jean de Luz to pro- tect French fishing boats from that and neighboring ports after armed Spanish insurgents boarded and searched the French fishing boat “Croix du Jour.” The French boat was 12 miles from the Spanish coast and 40 miles out from Saint Jean de Luz when the in- surgent sloop Galerna drew alongside. The insurgents jumped aboard, ex- plained they were hunting a boat re- cently built in Spain which they wanted to sink. So frightened were fishermen along the coast after hearing of the incident many refused to put out to sea Basque officials reported their iron | defense around Bilbao withstood sev- | eral insurgnt attacks today. The report also said insurgents have bombed several villages in the southern sector of the 'Bilbao front and had | tried unsuccessfully to recapture | Mount Lemona, 6'; miles southeast of the Basque capital. An insurgent communique an- nounced that five American-made planes (Curtiss) had been shot down by insurgents. This the Basques denied.

Gray, chancellor of the university, last night called on its alumni to support the $2,000,000 two-year de- velopment program, for which a cam- | paign to raise $250,000 here now iz under way. Dr. Gray spoke at the annual din- ner of the university alumni asso- ciation in the college dining room on the campus. Wilmer F. Stickle, president of the association, urged alumni to “greater activity” in co- operating with the university to fulfill | its new, enlarged objectives The occasion was one of the fes- tivitles closing the academic year.

Belgium rocked on a finan- Boldly Van Zeeland de- valued the belga to 72 per cent of its value. Money moved more easily, the public regained confidence in its gove ernmental form. The crisis was passed But Van Zeeland had other prob- lems. Trade was slack and Belgian prosperity—and accordingly Beigian democracy, for in times of stress the government go—depended on trade. Van Zeeland worked for trade and her exports rose from 13.540,000,~ 000 francs in 1934 to 19,724,000,000 in 1936. Belgian peace of mind de- pended on neutrality, and Van Zee- land cut the Locarno Pact bond, i which committed Belgium to armed support of invaded Locarno signers. Wholesa!s Index Climbed. Domestic good times required higher price, and the wholesale index rose from 464 in March, 1935, when Van Zeeland took office, to 637 in De- cember, 1936. When Leon Degrelle put his leadership to the test, De- grille’s Fascist attack on Van Zee- land’s democracy collapsed like a sand He in-| castle at high tide. Van Zeeland no longer can be called shy. But he is no Headline Harry, even though he is the chief hope today of liberal Europe. His in- ternational fame is but a year old. He becamie a personage when he talked Great Britain and France into agree- ing on how to greet Hitler's move into the Rhineland, closed to his soldiers by Locarno. England, which thought it had a great young statesman of its own in Anthony Eden, discovered him. BOAT IS ASSIGNED FOR USE OF EDISON Assistant Naval Secretary Will Have Craft for Week End and Other Trips. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison now has available a craft assigned to him for week end end other trips. the Navy Department disclosed yesterday. The patrol vessel Skaneateles has been transferred from the Naval Prov- ing Ground at Dahlgren, Va, to the Washington Navy Yard. Rear Ad- miral W. S. Pye, assistant chief of naval operations, said the vessel is assigned to the local yard for the use of 'the Assistant Secretary. The late Assistant Secretary, Henry L. Roosevelt, secured the Skaneateles for his use from the Coast Guard and it was named in honor of his home in New York State. Inasmuch as Assistant Secretary Edison comes from New Jersey and his home is at Menlo Park, obeervers are wondering if the name of the ves- sel will be altered.
