Loyalists Seeks Speedy Action To Halt Arms Exports
A grim race unfolded as the Spanish Loyalist government pressed Congress to quickly act to block arms exports. In New York Harbor a Spanish freighter was laden with 1 000 crates of airplanes and spare parts bound for Bilbao as stevedores toiled overnight. If Congress does not approve emergency legislation banning arms shipments to either side, the vessel will sail with its cargo. The state department warned loading could finish only after noon. Congress meets at noon.
