As Europe’s chancellories pored over plans for the hurriedly summoned meeting, these developments added new elements to the situation: 1. Official Russian newspapers ac cused Italy of piracy in the Mediter ranean, and said the Soviets would make “Fascist bandits pay dearly” for the sinking of a Russian vessel off Algiers Monday. 2. Diplomats reported the Spanish government, as well as Insurgent Gen eral Francisco Franco would be ex-‘ eluded from the conference. 3. Italy’s price for cooperation was reported to be British recognition of insurgent belligerent rights. 4. Spanish insurgents denied re sponsibility for a submarine attack on foreign shipping. As four more British destroyers sped to the western Mediterranean with orders to sink or capture the pirate submarines, one report said Great Britain contemplated proposing registration and strict surveillance of all submarines of powers bordering the Mediterranean.

In no case of death or injury was the driver of the Ibus found at fault, and in the quardruple tragedy the driver of the other vehicle was convicted and put behind prison bars. This year school commission au thorities are taking unusual pains to see that bus drivers are competent. Heretofore, it has been necessary only for the driver to have a license to op erate a motor vehicle. This year every prospective bus driver will be examin ed specially by a highway patrolman and will not be permitted to operate a school bus unless he passes.

Commissioner McNinch is, in real ity, transferred from the Federal Power Commission, of which he was chairman, to his new post.

The count crashed late yesterday. It was one of those rare accidents when the packed stands at the na tional air races turned its collective head away and closed its ears to the shrieks of the ambulance, certain that death has called off its holiday.
