SEEK EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS Claude Rowers Awaits Reply To Suggestion Os Prisoner Exchange Paris, June 14. 4U.PJ -Claude G. Bowers. United States ambassador to Spain, awaited today a reply front the loyalist government to a proposal for an exchange of prls- j oners, including Americans, between the fighting ructions. Generalissimo Francisco Franco agreed to release all loyalist aviators in exchange for 28 national--1 ist pilots, mostly German and ltal--1 ian .who are in the hands of the government. Franco has only 18 ! loyalist pilots under arrest, so it was presumed that the remaining 10 to complete the exchange would j be Americans captured in the recent nationalist offensive ou the i Aragon front. Barcelona had not replied to Bowers' personal, unofficial invitation. but a reply was promised for today. If it is delayed, Bowers will [ renew his proposal to the loyalists. The ambassador refused to publish the names of the Americans on Franco's list, but it was said that the number must depend upon the 1 number of loyalist aviators the nationalists can round up from . their prisons. So far as could be learned, the | ■ name of Harold Dahl of Chant-. paign, 111., was not on the list. . Neither was that of Robert Merri- j man, California agricultural econ- i ! omist, despite an effort by American and British scientists to obtain his release by a direct appeal to Franco. ■ Dahl's wife was instrumental in I having him from a nationalist firing squad, but efforts to obtain bis • rlcase have failed. Merriman's wife, who came to Paris to negoti-, ate for her husband's release, rej tourned to his family’s home hi Reno, Nevada. Merriman reportedly was captured while fighting with one of the loyalist international brigades. Bowers said that the American embassy has been unable to learn Merrimans' fate. A group of British scientists, including A. D. Lindsay, Dr. Julian Huxley and C. S. Orwtn, among others, signed a petition and sent it to Franco I | through the Duke of Alba, nationalist agent in London. asking deft- j nite news of Merriman’s whereabouts and also for his release. o 1 Michigan City Man Is Killed By Auto Michigan City, liid., June 14.—• OJ.F.' - Walter Cook, 4«, Michigan City, died today from Injuries received last night when he was j struck by a car driven by Clinton Pollard, Michigan City.
