Pres. Roosevelt Back — Prepares to Meet King And Queen

Washington, June 1.

President Roosevelt returned to Washington from his Hyde Park home late yesterday to prepare for the arrival of King George and Queen Elizabeth from Canada and draft final plans for the last weeks of the present session of Congress.

Legislative leaders will inform the President next Monday of the date on which Congress will adjourn. Mr. Sam Rayburn, Democratic Representative of Texas, told the press he believed Congress would adjourn on Others recall the decree issued by the German Government early in 1997, in conformity with the resolutions of the Non-Intervention Committee, which prohibited participation by Germans in the Spanish Civil War.

They comment on the surprising fact that, although the decree was cited in German communications to the Non-Intervention Committee, high German officers who contravened it by going to Spain to command German units there, and to help in the training of the Spanish forces, have returned to occupy important positions in the Reich, without, it seems, incurring any of he penalties provided in the decree—Reuter.
