A—4 x» POVERSDISTURBED BY I DUGES NOTE Mussolini Expresses Wish for Insurgent Victory in Message to Franco. BY the Assoctated Press. LONDON, October 4—A message from Premier Mussolini expressing “most fervent wishes” for an insurg- ent victory was considered today to have dashed the strong Anglo-French move to force withdrawal of Italian volunteers from the Spanish civil war. The informed Italian press indicated N Duce would turn down the French and British invitation to a three- power conference on ending aid to both Spanish factions despite a hint his refusal would bring a retaliatory opening of the French border to sup- plies for war for the Madrid-Valencia government. London observers saw little evidence in Mussolini’s note of congratulations to Insurgent Feneralissimo Francisco Franco of that change of heart which the British and French have tried to persuade themselves they had seen in his attitude since their determined stand at the Nyon conference brought Italy into the Mediterranean anti- piracy patrol. Powers Still Hopeful. There was still hope, however, that the reply would not be a blunt re- fusal to join France and Britain around a conference table at which there were only three chairs, but would be a suggestion that the question of withdrawal of volunteers as well as the whole Spanisn problem be re- ferred once again to the London 27- nation non-intervention committee. Both London and Paris were await- ing the arrival of Il Duce's note with ill-concealed impatience. It was ex- pected within the next few days after Italy had conferred with Germany. Joachim Von Ribbentrop, the Ger- man ambassador to London, planned to leave for Berlin this morning. Both France and Britain have indi- cated they would block an effort to relegate the withdrawal of volunteers to the unwieldy Non-Intervention Committee. The sudden attack made by Russia on the committee Saturday added to the diplomatic anxiety here. Sees no Reason to Comply. Russia chose just the moment the Anglo-French invitation was dis- patched to inform the committee mem- bers she no longer saw any useful point in complying with the regula- tions requiring her to embark observa- tion officers on her ships bound for Spain.

By the Associated Press, MOSCOW, October 4.—Moscow's 200 keepers came in for trouble today —they were charged with scaring the animals and giving them stomach ail- ments. Coincidentally came the announce- ment that 23 more have been executed for anti-government activity. Twenty were shot at Irkutsk for hooliganism and three for spoiling grain, Twenty others were shot there Sat- urday in an anti-crime drive, L. V. Ostrovsky, director of the Moscow Zoo, was removed. He was denounced recently in the Communist organ Izvestia for staging ballet dances to make the park more at- tractive, frightening the beasts with outdoor radio loudspeakers and slaughtering animals in an economy wave.

She is now in this country receiving training as a newsreel photographer, which she will put into practice on her return to Spain. It was the marquesa who presented Mrs. Landa with the bracelet, made of bullets which she had picked up on her visits to the front to gather news. The two women are old friends. They plan to sail from New York the first week in November, probably going to Italy and across France into Spain. Mrs. Landa long has been popular in Washington society. Her father, Frank W.

By the Associated Press. GENEVA, October 4.—The League of. Nations Sino-Japanese subcommit- tee has found Japanese military ac- tion unjustified in China since the current conflict broke out at Marco Polo Bridge outside Peiping on July 7. Members of the committee, emerg- ing today from secret session, an- nounced their preliminary consensus. They added, however, that it is too early to indicate what, if any, action is to be recommended because the discussion had not yet reached the stage of final conclusions or recom- mendations. “We have not yet finished approv- ing the entire historical survey,” said one delegate. “But it might be fair to say that the section already approved indicates Japan's policy towards China has been too strong and is unjustified since the Loukouchaio incident. The present draft of recommenda- tions includes the hope that oppor- tunities would arise to permit an early peace for the Far East.
