Several scores of persons have been shot as the result of abortive plots, so strong has been the feeling against for- eign influence in - General Franco's armies, the reports reaching here despite a strict censorship. . Defeat Intensifies Feeling The information stated the im- portation of Italian soldie's never had been popular in the Spanish army but had been accepted as necessary to crush the Madrid government. With the defeat of the insurgent armies, reported to have been mostly Italian divisions, on the Guadalajara front northeast of Madrid, this feeling was said to have been intensified and resulted in some extreme cases in definite plots. These, however, were not thought to have been directed at Generalissimo Franco specifically but against further Italian partic - pation. Officers Said Suicides 'Two colonels in the insurgent army at Burgos were declared to have committed suicide in protest because they were \heartsick with the foreign invasion.\ Insurgent quarters in France energetically denied the reports declaring \we are in close contact with all nationalist Spain and we have no such information. These reports are fantastic.\ Whatever may be the truth or falseness of the reported execu- tions and plots, reliable informa- tion indicates definite dissatisfac- tiom and uneasiness among many urgent Spaniards at the part Mans are ~laying in the war. No attempt was made to conceal a certain amount of private satis- faction that Italians had been de- feated at Guadalajara as Spaniards had been carefully excluded from that drive on Madrid. Troop Jealousy Blamed . The Italians also have bsen ac- cused, the reports reaching here said, of treating their Spanish comrades in arms with contempt. Comparatively little feeling was said to exist against the Germans who do not approach the Italians in numbers. FRUIT SALES RESUMED BUFFALO, March 30 - (P) - | Welfare Unit Asks Survey Of Vocational School Need Nassau Forum Hears Donald Smith Of Hemp- stead Describe Uses Of County Institution A survey to determine the need in the county for a vocational school will be urged upon the board of supervisors in a resolution to | be sent today to the Nassau board by officials of the Nassau County Welfare forum. The resolution was passed by the group: last night, at its meet- ing in the Bar association building, Mineola, after Donald Smith, Hempstead educator, training. Wallace Named President Edwin Wallace, county welfare commissioner, was elected presi- dent of the forum at last night's session. He succeeds N. Forrest Jones of Hempstead. Other of- ficers are Frank Fanning of Min-N eola, vice president; Ward Robin- son of Oyster Bay, recording see- retary; Herbert Ninesling of Great ! Neck, treasurer. Smith told the 100 men and women who attended that the 30- hour week in industry will create a greater need for skilled work- ers. This need, he asserted, can be filled by the graduates of vo- cational schools. He suggested that the first step in the establishment of a school | in Nassau county would be a sur- | vey of trades, to determine which are in most need of new recruits. Training of pupils could | then be so regulated that gradu- | ates would be turned out to All the needs of industry. | No Term Periods The fact that there would be no | set term periods, with about 12 to | 14 pupils being graduated each week, would make it easier for in- | dustry to assimilate the product of the school, Smith pointed out. The \staggered\ graduations, he | said, would automatically result from the fact that some of the | pupils, learning faster than others, would be able to complete the‘ courses more rapidly. | \With a modern vocational‘ | school, there will be no misfits turned out Into the industrial world,\ the speaker averred. \Manufacturers introducing new machinery, or new processes, would be glad to install these ma- | chines in the school, so that work- | ers would be trained to operate | them. There should be provis- ion, also, for graduates to return to the school for short night courses, so that they could catch up on advances made after tney have completed their work,.\ Present Building Usable The Collegiate center building, once used as the Curtiss factory, would make an ideal building for | a vocational school, Smith said. | The cost of a vocational school would be about two-thirds of the cost of an ordinary high school, because of the use of movable partitions and other inexpensive | construction. | Three types of courses should be provided for a vocational) school curriculum, Smith said. The first would be the regular full-time day course; the second, the two-apprentice system, in which two apprentices are ap- pointed for one job i~ a factory, the novices alternating by spend- ing one week in sehool and one week on the job; ad the third, extension courses to train pupils for industrial office work. SOCIALISTS ENDORSE had discussed the advantages of Normal sales of fresh fruits and vegetables for western New York were resumed here today after settlement of last week's short- lived strike. Both of the main markets here reopened. These markets supply fresh produce to retail stores 'n an area with a mil- lion population. Late last week the strike threatened to cause a fruit and vegetable shortage in this area. LEWIS AT CONVENTION | National Org-infill!“ Votes To Help Form Farm-Labor Party, Criticizes A. F. of L.

She stood before Magistrate Nicholas Pinto and said yes, they did have two sheep and ten goats in the basement of their house but not for long, judge, because they were looking for a farm. Her hus- band was out looking for the arm, she added. The magistrate nodded and adjourned the case to April 19, while Mr. Massula looked. Mrs. Massula beamed.

A, Village Association Puts! Unanimous Approval On Union With County The Hempstead police depart- ment Patrolmen's Benevolent as- sociation, which represents 35 of the 43 members of the village po- lice force, are in favor of a merger | | with the county police system, it was announced today by Patrol-| man Eugene Whitehead, president | of the association. Meeting at police headquarters yesterday afternoon, at a special session called by the president, | members of the village P. B. A. unanimously adopted a resolution favoring the proposed merger of the village department into the county system Officers Said To Agree A copy of the resolution will be | submitted to the village board at its next meeting and a representa- tive or committee from the P. B. A. will appear before the village officials and state the group's rea- sons for wanting to become a part | of the county system. Superior officers of the Hemp- stead department are members of the P. B. A. but they are not Al lowed to vote on any matters [ing before a meeting. They aré permitted to voice their opinions, |however, and at yesterday's meet- | ing it was reported that several of the superior officers announced that they are 100 per cent. in agreement with the action-taken by the association. Discuss Fund Split A discussion also was held on the matter of disposing of about $8,000 in the association treasury | in the event that a merger of the two departments is completed, The by-laws of the association read that the money will be di- vided equally. - The debate on this section of ! the by-laws was led by several charter members of the associa- tion, who pointed out that it would not be fair, in their opin- ion, for members of two or three | months' standing to share equally in the distribution with other members who have worked for several years to build up the fund. | Final decision on this question will be made at a meeting sched- uled for April 15. | MINIMUM waAcE Acts | PROPOSED IN STATES Laws For Women Sought To Imi- tate Statute Of Wash- | ington WASHINGTON, March 30-GP) -Advocates of laws setting mini- | mum wages for women declared today their intention to seek new acts in many states to conform ! with the Washington state statute upheld by the supreme court. Government attorneys said they believed the decision called to life | a District of Columbia law in- valiadted by the high court 14 years ago. That decision was overruled by yesterday's majority opinion in the Washington case. Both Senator King (D.-Utah) and Rep. Norton (D.-N. J.) said they were ready to introduce new bills for the district if necessary. Gov. Herbert Lehman of New York said the decision clears the way to prompt enactment of a similar law there. Bills covering minimum wages and other provisions \to make strikes unnecessary\ will be in- troduced in the Michigan legisla- ture soon, said Gov. Frank Mur- phy at Lansing. Sponsors of minimum wage laws prepared to seek their actment in Colorado, Texas, nesota, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. A Nevada bill, setting an $18 wage for women, became law yesterday with Gov. Kirkman's signature. DR.

Zander claims that he was seri- ously and permanently injured October 20,«1925 when he was a motorcycle patrolman, He con- tended he was riding on Hemp- stead turnpike, near Belmont park race track, when his motorcycle was struck by an automobile op- erated by William Horwich, a salesman for Newman, and that) the car was owned by Newman.

Rosalie Van Zandt, 12, found the creature in a remote sec- tion of her parent's property. The discover. brought curious people like reporters and policemen down onto the es- tate, one-half wanting to know what an armadillo looked like, and the other half trying to decide what to do with it. The creature, with a hole in its hard-shelled back, and quite dead, was left with the Van Zandts for them to worry about where and how to bury it. The armadillo, to the uniniti- ated, is a member of the fam- ily Dasypodidae, which fam- lly seldom manages to get this far north, Never, in the memory of the oldest Great Neck resident, has a Dasypo- didae wandered into a local backyard. Review-Star Photographer Armadillo's Burial Brings Dispute Into Family Circle \Father Van Zandt Urges Haste; But Rosalie, Who Found Dead Beast, Pleads For Delay There was still a certain difference of opinion in the Van Zandt family today as to when the armadillo should be buried. Rosalie, who is 12 years old, thought that inasmuch as armadillos aren't found every day in the week, a person oughtn't to want to bury | them so fast. Mr. Van Zandt, Rosalie'® father, who is considerably older, doesn't think the armadillo can stand waiting.
