Franco Government of Spain cannot forget that Russia was the arch-enemy in the Spanish civil

war, so recently ended. Russian communism still is Spain’s major potential foe. How to keep Spain allied to the Axis while at the sames time binding new ties of Russo-German friendship is a difficult matter for the Fuehrer. This fact may well account for Suner's trip to Berchtesgaden. In the midst of the Nazi “diplomatic offensive” Italy has become involved in the war with Greece, resulting in the unexpected success of Greek resistance during the present initial phase of the conflict, It fis

Hatch (D. N. M»), fol Wed Molotov’s recent visit to a supporter of the Logan-Walter Bill, one of the keys to adjournment efforts in the Senate. Mr, Hatch left the White House hurriedly, explaining he was rushing to the Senate to attempt to call up the House-approved measure for passage. : “I would not say that the President is in full accord with calling the bill up,” Mr. Hatch said. “But he certainly is not opposed to its general objectives.” House Democratic Leader John W, McCormack will offer the sine” die adjournment resolution which will go to the Senate if passed by the House. Test for Republicans

The vote will be a first test of Democratic authority since Mr. Roosevelt's re-election. In a measure it will sample the substance of the “loyal opposition” which Wendell Willkie seeks te raise against the New Deal. Congressional Republicans committed themselves before the election to keep Congress in emergency session, They are expected to maintain a united front today. Among the proposals which might come up if Congress remained in session during the remainder of the year are revision of the' National Labor Relations Act and of the Wage-Hour Act. The Senate also must confirm Dr, Harry A. Millis as chairman of the National Labor Relations Board and Former Chairman J, Warren Madden to the U, 8. Court of Claims if

this afternoon and passed “if we have enough Democrats here.” He said that Democratic leaders had not yet been able to check on the number of Democrats who returned from their homes, in response to telegraphic summons, to vote for adjournment. . “If there are not more than 200 of them here, we can’t pass it,” he said of the:resolution.

Roosevelt Talks to Hatch

As for Hitler's secret conference with King Boris of Bulgaria, it is not difficult to assume that the Bulgarians want personal assurance from the Fuehrer regarding his Russian agreement and what he is planning for southeastern Europe. Whether King Boris got full ine formation, however, is problemati= cal, for [the ‘diplomatic offensive” still seems to face various uncertainties and more may be in the making.

natural that the Greek fighting spirit in defying one member of the Axis should cause some degree of restlessness among other small nations in southeastern Europe. When General Antonescu, the Rumanian Premier, visited Rome last week he was quoted as saying that the Rumanians did not regard as permanent the present shrunken area of their country, The new Vienna conference being arranged today may well concern

i City Councilmen have decided to speed their efforts to tighten-the City’s control over taxi-cab operations on reports that warfare between two major cab concerns is threatening: Council President Joseph G. Wood said last night he has been informed that dne cab company has dismantled another concern’s telephone boxes. Safety Board President Leroy J. Keach and Police Chief ‘Michael F. Morrissey confirmed the report and the chief added no arrests have been made.

The report, received midway in a Councilmanic| investigation of cab regulations, led members to schedule a special session Nov. 26 to complete the investigation and to draft a new ordinance.

Closer Control Expected

The new ordinance is expected to give ‘the City closer control over cabs, The investigation is the result of the Council's dissatisfaction with the present ordinance, which most members feel is too lax.

Meanwhile, Councilmen approved the éxtension of trackless trolley service on E, 10th St., after the first bi-partisan caucus in the’ present Council's history. Republicans and Democrats gathered in the “back room” hefore the meeting opened and agreed to the extension.

Passage of the trackless trolley ordinance climaxed a two-months’ struggle. Indianapolis Railways, Inc., proposed extension of the trolley from its present terminus at Olney Ave. to Arlington Ave, At present, E. 10th St, between| The ordinance, first adopted in Olney and Arlington, is served by|1933, imposes a $200 annual license a motor bus. | Proponents of the|fee on itinerant merchants and a railway’s plan pointed to a 3-cent|$25 license fee on local merchants. saving in fare by the substitution |Until recently, it had been enforced of the 7-cent trolley for the 10-|laxly and there was no complaint cent bus. : from outside merchants.

HERE'S REASON: HE'S GOING BACK

So James McCann Talks of Anything Except French Situation.

This will give you some idea of how “the other half of the world” lives and operates. James L. McCann, Paris, France,

is in Indianapolis today for the annual session of officers of the American Legion. He is former commander of the Department of France. He is well known to most of the national officers and, 6 is a friendly and jovial person. For two or three days he will circulate among the department commanders and adjutants who are his friends and listen to their talk about how things are in California, Utah, Florida and where not. But James L. McCann will say no word about Paris and will discuss nothing of what he has seen, what he has heard, or what he thinks. He's going back to Paris, now under German control. And when he gets there, he doesn’t want any unpleasantness. It’s not that he thinks he would be DK betrayed by his fellow Legionnaires oS if he should open up with some information. Not at all. ol It's just that he’s realist enough to know that they can't understand what has become the Paris way of life, and couldn't be expected to [they are to exercise their new duties

Councilman Ernest Ropkey, Democrat, asserted he favored the extension on the basis of a private poll he had made of his employees. : A group. of about 25 East Side residents assembled for the Council’'s decision, which had been postponed to last night from the meeting just before election. The trolley proposal had previously been approved by the Works Board. It must be” approved finally by the Public Service Commission.

Poultry Action Delayed

Action on the’ repeal of the 1933 poultry licensing ordinance, which has been asked by several Indian-f apolis merchants, was postponed. A group of Indianapolis businessmen appeared to plead for the repeal of the ordinance, which has the effect of a tariff against out-of-town merchants selling poultry and dairy products in the city. Harold West, president of the West Baking Co. said the .Indianapolis baking industry as well as the poultry industry would be subject to reprisals in nearby county seat towns if the ordinance: were not stricken from the books.
