Nazis call Roosevelt henpecked

Daily Express Correspondent B E R L I N , Sunday.

acts under her influence, according to today's Nazi attacks on the U.S. President. Says the Lokalanzeiger: "Mrs.

Roosevelt should keep her hands from things about which she knows nothing There are many spheres of *°r«, lor militant women writers. ™«i as social problems, including wild labour, lynching, and public MiUoclety morals." t> ,i B o e r s e n Zeit'jng claims that Resident.

A l g e r e s . There they will await the

French Government's decision about their future. Those who wish to join the Franco side will be sent via Hendaye. The others may be sent to the Madrid area or kept in France.

Following the evacuation of Figueras yesterday sixty Spanish Government chaser planes invaded French territory to seek a land-ing place.

They were pursued by French planes and fired at by anti-aircraft batteries. Twenty-four landed at Carcassonne, one at Toulouse, and three at Illats, near Bordeaux.

Meantime in the Madrid zone ap-plication of the Government's mobil-isation decree is being actively con-tinued. All men up to forty, even those holding Important posts, have been incorporated in the army.

Where is Dr. Negrin ? One report is that he left Figueras by plane with other Ministers yesterday morning, ostensibly for Madrid, but actually to establish the Government in Valencia.

But there is no news of his arrival in either city. Other reports are—he is in France: he waits at Port Bon. just over the frontier in Spain; he has gone to Alicante, as being the least threatened port in Government Spain. Senor del Vayo. his Foreign Minis

SCEABSTER (Caithness), Sunday. Two doctors and a nurse, using the dimly lit floor of the cabin of the Hull trawler Lord Inchcape as an operating table, worked for two hours here today to encase a man with an injured spine in a plas'ter-of-paris jacket.

Using the jacket was the only way in which William Adams, of Hull, cook. Injured when flung to the deck from the top of the galley as a heavy sea struck the trawier. could be carried .up the steep com-panion-way to the ambulance wait-ing to take him to hospital.

After the accident doctors were asked by radio to meet the ship. With his body held rigid by the plaster, Adams was pulled up the ladder by a rope.

meet fourteen leaders of the.road transport industry at Fielden House, Westminster, S.W., to agree to a joint memorandum for sub-mission to the committee ap-pointed by the Transport Advisory Council to consider the claims of the railways for a square deal.

HOW IT WILL WORK This afternoon's meeting is prob-

ably the most' important ever held anecting Britain's internal carrying trade, with Its combined capital of nearly £2,000,000.000. employing nearly 1,500,000 men.

Not only is It likely'to dispose immediately of the railways' claim for a square deal: it is the first step to the ultimate goal whereby the railways will be guaranteed all long-distance freight traffic, while road companies concentrate on regional systems.

Main proposal of the scheme is that there should be a joint authority for controlling rates by road and rail. This authority might, and probably will, be an enlarged Railway Rates Tribunal, with a road member, and possibly a trade union member, added to the present mem-bership of. three. (These three are an Independent chairman, a repre-sentative of the railways, and a member nominated . by trading interests.)

Here Is a hypothetical .example of how the-proposed machinery is ex-pected to operate:—.

-The railways, say, charge 40s. to carry *a certain load from London to Birmingham. • Most: road opera-tors charge 38s. for a similar load. Mr. X , an independent haulage con. tractor, charges 35s:
