Among those arrested: handsome Captain José de Almeida Santos, 39. a cavalry officer with a record of distinguished service...
Died. Fernando Alvarez de Sotomayor, 84, Spanish portrait painter (among his subjects: ex-King Alphonso XIII, Portugal's Dictator Salazar), who headed the famed Prado Museum from 1921 to 1936, was succeeded by Pablo Picasso during the civil war, regained the post after Franco's victory; of a heart attack; in Madrid...
