Grousing of another sort at Generalissimo Franco was whispered last week by functionaries of the French Foreign Office in Paris. Favored journalists were tipped that under arrest in Saragossa, for having made a speech in which he attacked the Rightist Air Force for too vigorous bombing, was famed General Juan Yague, who led the recent Rightist drive which captured Lerida (TIME, April 11). Information that General Yague is out of circulation came from French secret service agents in Rightist territory, made a rattling good story on the Quai d'Orsay.

Georgian beds, silverware of the Charles II and William III periods. Purchaser: John Davison Rockefeller Jr., who will place them in the Governor's Palace...
...frontier strapping Greater German Nazis were more than ready to arrest, punish the tragic unfortunates for "illegal entry," but 15 Jews broke away and made for the Danube. They eluded Nazi and Hungarian pursuers and managed to spend the night shivering on a sandspit. In the morning a French patrol boat took them aboard, compassionately anchored in mid-Danube, awaited orders from new Premier Edouard Daladier...
