"Paul Joseph Goebhels
REPORT ACTOR BEAT GOEBBELS
Wife Seeking Divorce After Scandal, Swiss Source ~ Alleges.
A By United Press
A routine announcement in Berlin last week that Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels was confined to the hospital with grippe {was expanded by unconfirmed {rumors in America and European cities today into a story of how he had been seriously beaten by friends of a jealous actor. In Berlin, circles that usually are well informed said that the story was without foundation, but in New York, London and Greenwich, '|Conn., newspapers published various ‘laccounts purporting to give details of a fight which began when Dr. “| Goebbels was set upon by friends of ‘|Gustav Froelich, German actor, in *lthe flat of Herr Froelich’s wife, Lida Baarova, famous movie actress. The New York Daily News, in a | dispatch from Basle, Switzerland, ‘said that “the hospital may indeed be the:little doctor’s prison for the scandal has caused his wife, Magda,’ First Lady of the Reich and Adolf >| Hitler's official hostess at most state | functions, to prepare to ‘depart for Denmark, reportedly to get a divorce.”
Chauffeur Called Hero In London, the Daily Mirror said that Dr. Goebbels was “hiding in a Berlin clinic nursing a black eye and a bruised face.” “He was surprised in the flat of a glamorous film star by a group of her husband's friends,” the newspaper said. “They seized Dr. Goebbels and punched and pummelzd him. One of his teeth was knocked out. His chauffeur waiting outside heard his shouts and dashed in to rescue him.” The first reports that Dr. Goeb= bels had been beaten up came yesterday from Greenwich, Conn, where Greenwich Time, edited by Wythe Williams, published reports that the Propaganda Minister was swathed in bandages.
GEN. CHIANG URGED TO HEAR JAP TERMS
Former Premier May Set Up , New Regime.
HONG KONG, Dec. 30 (U. P).— Associates of former Chinese Premier Wang Ching-wei issued a statement today saying that Dr. Wang had urged Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to accept Japanese peace proposals as “a basis for dis-
| cussion.”
The statement was considered |\ significant chiefly because of reports that Dr. Wang had come to Hongkong to negotiate with the Japanese. All advices from Chungking, capital of Gen. Chiang’s regime, have emphasized that the Japanese proposals would be rejected, and that the struggle against Japan would be continued. . It was generally believed, however, that the Japanese hoped to persuade Dr. Wang to negotiate for a settlement which might be accepted by Chinese in the areas conquered by Japan and that ‘a socalled Chinese Government similar to that in Manchukuo would be set up with support of Japanese troops:
Japs Must Control
West Pacific, Claim TOKYO, Dec. 31 (Saturday), (U. P.) —Japan intends to eliminate the idea that the Orient is a colony for Western countries, and to that end must insure its command of the Western Pacific, Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita and Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai, Navy Minister, said today in their New Year messages to the nation. Minister Arita, asserting that Japan intends to end “the old conceptions of the Orient as a colony for Occidental, capitalistic countries” by inference rebuked other foreign powers when he praised Germany and Italy for their attitude toward Japan.

ARBITRATION OF
ITALIAN DISPUTE
Doubles Djibouti Garrison; New Demonstration in Rome Reported.
PARIS, Dec. 30 (U. P.)—Great Britain has been informed that France wishes to settle with Italy direct any territorial or other problems which Italy may wish to raise, it was understood today.
Roger Cambon, Minister in the French Embassy at London, was understood to have informed the British Foreign Office of this last night. ‘According to information here today, the French notification was equivalent to an invitation to Prime Minister Chamberlain to erase entirely from his program of topics, the French-Italian dispute when he visits Premier Mussolini in Rome next month. There were increasing signs that the Government would take a firm stand toward Italian demands, without, refusing to discuss what it regarded as nonterritorial matters, and that even if the Government wanted to be conciliatory, Parliament and the public would not permit it. A battalion of 1000 Senegalese sharpshooters arrived at Marseilles from Toulon to embark tomorrow for Djibouti, They will double the size of the French garrison there.
Italian Film Starts New Demonstration
French feeling received new impetus today after a disorderly demonstration at the premiere last night, at a leading theater, of the Iialian motion picture “Eettore Fiecramosca,” based on a legendary tournament
between French and Italian knights
in the 16th Century. The film depicts the Siege of Barletta during the war between Louis XII of France and Ferdinand of Spain. During the siege, there is a challenge to a knightly tournament in which the Roman Prince Prospero Colonna defeats the French knight Bayard. As the tournament scenes were shown, the audience became frenzied in its enthusiasm and held an anti-French demonstration. Boos and cat-calls greeted every appearance of the French knight while the Italian knight was applauded. (Historically, it was a tournament between 13 French and 13 German knights, and Bayard was the hero.) A trustworthy political source said today that the program for the visit to Rome next month of Prime Minister Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax, British Foreign. Secretary, had heen completed anc handed to the Earl of Perth, the British Ambassador. Premier Mussolini is scheduled to banquet his guests at the Venice Palace shortly after their arrival on Jan. 11. The British visitors will hold their first conference with Sig. Mussolini and his Foreign Minister and son-in-law, Count Galeazzo Ciano, on Jan. 12. They will lunch that day with King Victor Emmanuel and have dinner with Count Ciano after a reception by the present Prince Colonna, (icvernor of Rome. His Holiness Pope Pius XI is tentatively scheduled to receive the British visitors. on Jan. 13 and a second conference with Sig. Mussolini and Count Ciano will follow. Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Halifax are scheduled to return to London by train on Jan. 14,
Chamberlain Rejects
Force as Arbiter
LONDON, Dec. 30 (U, P,).—Prime Minister Chamberlain, in a New Year message to Great 'Britain, reiterates previous assertions that Britain will not yield to force. NIn the message, to be published today in the conservative magazine Homeland and Empire, Mr, Chamberlain declares: “Our armed strength enables us to say in the councils of nations thet, seeking the friendship of all peoples, we shall meet them in a spirit of reasonableness and fair dealing. but will not make concessions to force.

Loyalist Destroyer Beaten In Flight, but Rebels Lose Vessel, Too.

and disabled the Rebel mine layer Jupiter. The ships were beached side by side. British and French warships had them under guard. The account of the battle, as pieced together from the stories of various witnesses, follows: The half moon set half an hour after midnight. In complete darkness, under a cloudless sky and in a calm sea, the captain of the Jose Luis Diez ordered his men to loose the ship from its buoy. A sailor who carried out the order fell overboard and had to swim ashore.
British Village Shelled -
The destroyer crept from the harbor toward the Jupiter, only half a mile away, patroling the Straits. As the Jose Luis Diez turned Europa Point, the captain ordered full speed ahead and so suddenly that two more sailors fell overboard. They were picked up by a launch from the British destroyer Vanoc. The Rebels spotlighted the Diez and shells began to fall into Catalan Bay village, east of the Rock, destroying the roof of a house and wounding four Britishers, one of them a constable. The shells also caused other damage. The Jupiter tried to cut off the destroyer, which promptly rammed her. Another mine layer, the Calvo Sotelo, the cruiser Canarias and six armed trawlers hemmed in the Jose Luis ‘Diez, which headed for the beach. Eight men aboard were killed in the engagement and 10 were wounded.
Guarded by British
The destroyer fired six torpedoes during its fight against hopeless odds, and members of the crew said that they believed the Rebel armed sloop Calvo Sotelo, which was unaccounted for, had been struck. As the crippled Jose Lius Diez made for shore after the battle, two British destroyers and a French one raced in between it and the Rebel attackers so that any shot fired would have been fired at them. They were able to do so because the Loyalist ship was then in British waters. - As soon as the Jose Luis Diez had been grounded, and sent its wounded men ashore to a hospital in Gibraltar, Gen. Sir Edmund Ironside, commander-in-chief and Governor General of Gibraltar, put a strong British armed guard aboard it, with orders to repel any attack. It was ordered detained by the British and may be interned. There were indications that a serious international incident might result from one of the most dramatic incidents of the Spanish civil war. For weeks the Jose Luis Diez had been sheltering at Gibraltar. Long ago, it had been refitted at a French port on the Bay of Biscay. It sought to run the Straits of Gibraltar and, in the open Mediterranean, raid Rebel warships. The Rebels were waiting when, the first time, it tried by night to get through. It
severely damaged. Again it was refitted. The Rebels) were determined to get it and they kept a fleet in the Bay of Gibraltar day
and night awaiting its second try for safety.
