Agree Upon Plan to Avert Future Throat to Peace - '? - ' - Britain and France Join la Seeking Guarantees Against New Naval Perils; Italy and Ger many In R e c e p t i v e Mood France and Great Britain Bought Wednesday night to erect around Spain a danger-proof international naval patrol. . _ A patrol puaranteed against attach was the price Germany and Italy de manded for their return to co-opera tion with the European "handi-off Spain" committee in its effort to isolate the civil war within Spain. A French foreign office spokes man said Britain and France had agreed on a plan whereby warships of the international patrol would re main outside Spanish waters and the fleets would be unified. Anthony Eden, British foreign secretary, he declared, will present the pi*" to Germany and Italy, which withdrew Monday from the patrol after their wanhips were bombed by Spaniah govern ment warp lanes and Germany in revenge bombarded Almeria. Until Germnay and Italy return too the committee fold, the spokes man said, "it may be inferred that France and Great Britain already are extending their patrols as a pro visional measure." Italian warships, however, remain ed on "vohitary control" in Spanish waters under Premier Mussolini's or ders to use force if necessary to pre vent "Communist contraband, arms aTvri munitions" from reaching the Spaniah government. And German warships, to be aug mented by four submarines en route, also remained in Spaniah waters un der orders to fire upon any menacing Spanish warship or airplane. Reichschancellor Adolf Hitler dis cussed the German-Spanish crisis for two hours before a closed gathering of Nazi party leaders in Berlin, while in Rome his war minister, Marshal Werner Von Blomberg, conferred with Mussolini. In s two-hour speech, Der Fuehrer declared that not only Germany's armed strength, but the strength of her leadership are prerequisites to the Reich's recovery of world pres tigue and power. The submarines sent to Spain were to join the German fleet which re mained in those waters despite Ger many's withdrawal from the inter national non-intervention committee and its neutral patrol of the Iberian peninsula. Government spokesmen reiterated that Monday's bombardment of Al meria, Spanish government port, by German warships had ended the incident involving the Spanish gov ernment's air bombing of the Ger man pocket battleship Deutschland and the killing of 26 sailors. But the Reich appeared determin ed to prevent a recurrence. The sub marines and the fleet are free to act independently, now that the ships are not participating in the interna tional patroL PRESIDENT GETS REPORT ON EUROPEAN SITUATION Washington, June 2. ?

COURT TURNS LIBERAL. COURT PLAN WEAKENED. OPPONENTS' STRATEGY. WAGES AND HOURS. PRESIDENT ASKS ACTION. PROBLEMS WILL ARISE. WORLD TRADE OUTLOOK. (By Hugo S. Simms, Washington Correspondent) The decision of the Supreme Court last week, upholding the constitution* ality of the unemployment insurance provisions of the Social Security Act, under which more than three-fourths of the States have set up unemploy ment insurance laws, definitely lines up the high Court on the liberal side of interpreting the laws of the land. The five to four vote apparently in-, dicates a permanent liberal policy ; for the Court, as now constituted, and added another to the string of ten favorable decisions which have been given New Deal laws since the pres ent term of the Court began. Just exactly what this means be comes clearer when we reflect that before the present term of the Court the New Dealers had loat II to IS cases. With persistent conservatism the justices overturned the efforts of the administration to widen the field of Federal activity, which the President maintained was necessary under modern conditions, and there developed much the feeling that the Court was the last bulwark of free dom, or (as the individual might pre fer) the last barrier to progress. This state of affairs was serious because of the close division between the jus tices and the plain clash of theories that were expounded in conflicting opinions that did not much conceal the deep feeling of the judges. The President's court reform pro posal, about which a bitter straggle has been waged since it was announc ed in February, evidenced the Chief Executive's protest' against legal in terpretations which did not, in his opinion, take cognizance of new con ditions or of the people's wilL It was resorted to as the only practical method of accomplishing what Mr. Roosevelt demanded, a Court that would be in harmony with present day objectives. .While constitutional, and within the powers of Congress, the proposed increase in the number of justices has been attacked as a assault on an independent judiciary and assailed as the wedge of dictator ship. The battle for the court reform bill is still on, with the lines holding, but with the situation greatly altered. To be plain the present outlook is not favorable to the passage of the President's measure, as submitted. This develops from several causes. First and foremost is the changed at titude of the Court itself, which in the women's wage and Wagner cases, through the altered opinions of jus tices, reversed earlier decisions. Whe ther the President's crusade against the Court had anything to do with persuading the justices that "condi tions which have intervened" called for new reasoning, or not, the deci sions were rendered some weeks after his drastic action. Next in line, is the resignation of Justice Van Devan ter, one of the' conservative justices, whose retirement will o enable the President to strengthen the newly discovered liberalism of the Bench regardless of the court reform meas ure. The strategy of the opponents of the court refrom bill has been delay and this was acquisced in by pro ponents, fearful of the charge of rushing the measure through Con gress under executive pressure. The adversaries of the President's pro posal were hopeful that the Court, in its current session, might deliver opinions which would, of themselves, ease the tightened situation and they also hoped that some of the justices might avail themselves of the oppor tunity to ibtire under the terms of new. legislation which guaranteed t^e justices full pay for life. In both of these hopes they have been justi fied. The timeliness of Justice Van De van tert letter to the President, giv ing notice of bis intention to retire from active service; has been noted by many observers. It was delivered just before the Senate committee vot ed an unforable report on the court reform bilL Opponents hailed it as a master stroke in the battle. Whe ther it was or not, it opened the way for senatorial colleagues of Senator Joe Robinson to launch a boom for his oppointment to the high tribunal, in which members of both parties joined. The President, while declin ing "confirmation" of the Senate "nomination," gave no indication of when any appointment would be made.

' The president and director of the Saatern Carolina Symphonic Choral Association is Lewis Sidney Bullock, whose splendid qualifications include Vat of being a former member of the Westminster choir and a pupil ol Dr. John Finley Williamson, the founder, president and conductor of this internationally known group of ringers, who still exercises a decisive nfhience upon the young musician, In whom the same devotion to music tnd the abnegation of himself are re flected and are the keynotes of his ictivities.

Many of the adults, gathered to hear the high school band and to see the youngsters make the first plunge at 2:00 o'clock, later returned from the tennis courts and golf course for a refreshing swim themselves. Farmville, with its municipal play ground, swimming t pool and golf course is successfully turning the leisure of its youth and unemployed, which might become its "social dyna mite" and a real menace to its future, into a period of healthy relaxation and wholesome fun. The general condition of the coun try, while optomista will always be opto mists, is really alarming as view ed through the spectacles of Ward en Lawes, of Sing Sing, who advises, "Look after the boys and girls in their spare time. Last year, more than 20, 000 lads, from 16 to 19 years of age, came before the magistrates of New York City alone. Twenty-five regi ments of boys, over six times the entire student body of West Point and Annapolis combined, were brought before the New York courts for misdemeanors and largely be cause no one cared how now where they.spent their leisure hours." Farmville is striving with ail" of its might and means to keep the minds of its youth interested and the adult population also cheered during vacation months and leisure hours.
