BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1931. 2 3 Urges Patriotism in Relief Demand Warns Veterans Against Placing 'Intolerable' Washington, April 15 (AP)-Men who served in the World War were warned today by Veterans Adminstrator Hines that unless they show peace-time patriotism their demands for relief will place an "intolerable" burden on the Government. Addressing the annual Red Cross convention, reviewed what had been former service Hines, men. Without referring to demands in the last Congress for full payment of adjusted compensation certificates or to the which permits World War veterans to borrow 50 percent of a certificate's value, Hines said: "It would seem to me further extensions merit study and delibera- "If we are to teach our young men as a matter of principle that service to our country means that the Government thereafter must reward that service, irrespective of need, then we are undermining the very foundation of good citizen- ship." Backs Worthy Cases Hines said the American people will make no complaint as to the cost of relief provided these expenditures go to those who are An "adequate" national relief policy, he cover hospitalization, care, assertedmichould employment preference, compensation for service-connected disabilities and allowances or pensions for permanent disabilities not attributable to military service. His program would include no monetary assistance to men not incapacitated, but would embody relief for widows and children left by disabled veterans.

Hines said about $13,000,000,000 had been spent for veterans' relief measures since 1789, of which around $5,000,000,000 has gone to World War service men. He predicted that by 1950 disbursements veterans' relief will have reached $21,850,000,000, the cost of the World War. More Liberty, Is Spain's Plan Continued from Page 1 quence it will not be appropriated unless there is cause for public utility and with. previous proper indemnity. The government is cognizant of the absolute neglect in which the farming masses have been left, the little interest shown in the agrarian economy of the country.

"(6) The provisional government, in view of the reasons justifying the fullness of its power, will regard it a veritable crime were it to abandon the new born republic to those who, from strong secular position and taking advantage of their means, may render difficult its consolidation and, thercfore, the provisional government may subordinate their rights." Act to Prevent Return Leaders of the Spanish Republic today moved to insure life of the new regime and to make return of King Alfonso to Spain impossible. The prison gates of Barcelona, Valencia, Jaca and other Spanish cities were opened for thousands of political and revolutionary hostages incarcerated during the dictotorships of the last eight years. Crowds boisterously celebrated the death of the monarchy and the birth of the republic. Franco Returns Almost coincident with the departure of the royal family Capt. Ramon Franco, insurgent aviator, returned from France on the southbound express.

He left the train at Escorial, near Madrid, and came to the city by automobile, being received enthusiastically as a national hero by large crowds at both places. "I am back to work for the republic," he said. Alfonzo left behind with the Conde de Romanones, Minister of State in the resigned Aznar Cabinet, a manifesto containing his farewell to his people, to be kept secret until he is out of Spanish jurisdiction. Until it is published the terms of agreement with Alcala Zamora his, Republican leaders may not be known. While De Romanones considered himself honor-bound not to reveal its contents, political circles believed that it will make clear Alfonso's action was not a complete abdication of the throne for himself and his heirs.

It was believed that it, on the contrary, would reveal a hope of some day returning to Spain in the event, say, that parliamentary elections should go Monarchist. President Zamora's first decree ordered release of all political prisoners. His second declared today a national holiday. Another deposed former Premier General Berenguer's brother as Captain General of Madrid and appointed a successor. Catalonia to Join Madrid The Minister of Interior, Miguel Maura, speaking for him, declared that the government was prepared to use an iron fist to maintain public order.

Although wishing to maintain a free press the new government will not tolerate seditious propaganda and will punish violations severely. A message received by the Junta from Col. Francisco Macia, who was re-established at the head of a Catalonian Republic, proclaimed in Barcelona, an age-old separatist movement, promised his co-operation with Madrid in a Spanish fideration of states, thus apparently removing possibility that THIS ROYAL PAIR MAY BECOME PLAYMATES Prince of Wales with Spain's King yesterday. 15. Facts on Alfonso, Last of the Bourbons 1-Born a king.

2-Ruled 29 years. 3-His hobbies: polo and yachting. 4-Possessor of a personal fortune estimated at $5,000,000. 5-Taught the duties of a king by his widowed mother, Maria Cristina. 6-He quit to avoid bloodshed.

Madrid in Wild Celebration The actual government overturn, after months, even years of sanguinary disturbances, was effected almost without bloodshed. There was a riot last night in Barcelona, where was killed and a number wounded. and some minor disturbances with a few casualties in Malaga, but generally the country from early morning yesterday was quiet. The people of Madrid became deliriously De happy, dancing, shouting, screaming in their delight. King Scorns Disguise there are no foxes in my Palace Is Shuttered Before his abdication the King called in Alcala and others of the royal and official household to talk over the situation.

Friends advised Alfonso to disguise himself for the trip from Madrid. But he scorned to do so. His attitude recalled his words to a Spanish aristocrat who showed him some secret passageways under the palace which might use for escape in time of need. The King replied: "Only foxes run to earth; The royal palace was closed, shuttered and deserted except for a few servants and members of the staff. Volunteer Republican guards, civilians with red arm bands, were stationed at the entrances in place of the former brilliantly-uniformed palace guards.

The new government is undecided as to what disposition to make of the building and grounds. Former Premier Berenguer and Gen. Emilio Mola, Madrid chief of police under the last government, were reported today to have left in automobiles, presumably for the French frontier. Mola was considered by Republicans to have been very severe in repressing the disturbances of the past few months Berenguer was called a dictator. Their unpopularity may have caused them to consider Spain unsafe just now.

Accused Husband Calls Wife 'Barmaid' Accused of desertion and cruelty, Harry Berkowitz, head of a trucking concern, today in Justice May's part of the Supreme Court accused his wife, Helen, of being a "barmaid" in her mother's "speakeasy" and entertaining strange men. The cross-charges were made when Mrs. Berkowitz, living at 7716 11th applied for alimony and counsel fee, pending trial of her separation suit. She was awarded $50 a week and $350 counsel fee. They were married in 1916 and have two children.

Louis Ginsberg Given 2 to 10 Years in Jail Former Lawyer, Guilty in Mortgage Fraud, Is Sentenced to Sing Sing Louis B. Ginsberg, former lawyer, of 1925 Quentin Road, was sentence to from two to ten years in Sing Sing today by County Judge Martin. The ex-attorney pleaded guilty Jan.

It has been aileged by Assistant District Attorney Kean that Ginsberg made more than $200,000 on fake mortgages.

It is charged he counterfeited the official seal of the Register's office. Ginsberg is said to have worked in co-operation with Stanley Smith, who committed suicide more than a year ago by jumping from the roof of the Leverich Towers. In pronouncing sentence Judge Martin said: "You have made extensive restitution, but that cannot have anything to do with pronouncement of judgment." England within the next few days, will be just another king without a crown old country, refuge for so exiled monarchs. month A livelier topic of conversation today was whether Alfonso, now that he is finally off his shaky throne, will gratify his long desire and visit the United States. He has often talked with American newspapermen of his inclination to travel to the United States and see everything, from Manhattan to Hollywood.

It is reported that at least a half dozen palatial town houses and country estates are being prepared in England for the ousted monarch's arrival. If he occupies them all he will need ample funds. The report goes that he has been transferring from Spain, during recent weeks, about $2,000,000 in "pocket money" said to have been withdrawn from Madrid banks. Alfonso to Be King Again, Say Stars According to the stars, ex-King Alfonso of Spain will be recalled as king again. The Rev.

Arthur W. Brooks, astrologer and Bishop of the Apostolic Episcopal Universal Church, said SO today after casting horoscopes for both Alfonso and the new-born Spanish Republic. The republic has Mars in conjunction with Mercury in its horoscope, as well as other adverse aspects, according to Bishop Brooks. It "cannot possibly, succeed in its present form," said.

Cristina and Beatriz, the Crown Prince of the Asturias and Prince Gonzalo, the youngest son. One untoward incident marked the departure of the royal family.

A Republican sympathizer the station shouted "Viva Republica!" He was promptly manhandled by a group of aristocrats and hustled off the station platform. Plans for the departure of the Queen and her children were made with strictest secrecy. They arrived at the station from the palace in automobiles, accompanied only by a few close friends and a score of civil guards. At sight of the group which was waiting at station, made up of friends of the gala days at the palace and court favorites, the Queen broke down and sobbed piti- fully. Queen Hard Hit The tragic events of the past week, while the ancient throne was tottering and royal lives were even thought to be in danger, had laid a heavy hand on the Queen.

Gen. Jose Sanjuro, regarded as Spain's bravest and most hardfisted soldier, although a Republican, had asked to be allowed to see the Republican government's guarantees of safe conduct carried out, and he had chosen 25 picked men for the job. They rode in the express train to prevent any possible attacks on the royal family by extremists during the journey. Weeps At Parting Once the Queen was safely aboard the train General Sanjuro personally examined everybody who desired to approach royal private car. Although the blinds were drawn when the Queen entered, they were, raised shortly and the face Queen which graced Spanish and European court functions so often appeared, wet with tears.

Paris, April 15 (P) request for accommodations for the Queen of Spain and her children, beginning tomorrow morning, has been received by the Hotel Meurice, where King Alfonso usually stays when he is in Paris, hotel officials said today. One of Europe's Richest London, April 15 (AP) Whatever their judgment of Alfonso's kingship, London newspapers of all shades of opinion, from Socialist to Tory, today give the fallen monarch credit for the manner of his retirement from the throne. They complimented him for sparing Spain the bloodshed which, it is held, must have from any attempt on his part in hold the sovereignty against the popular will. Foresaw Abdication It was said that his exile was not likely to be embittered by poverty. If current reports are true he is one of the richest men in Europe, and foreseeing the possibility of loss of the throne, he had laid his plans accordingly.

The story goes that he not only inherited an immense fortune from his mother, Queen Christina, but himself possessed financial genius which led him to make many shrewd investments. It was also said that he had withdrawn most of his funds from Spain and reinvested them in American and British securities. Although there was no authoritative announcement that King Alfonso will come to England, the present supposition is that he will come here and probably reside with his family at Kensington Palace, where his wife's mother, Princess Beatrice, lives. Former King Alfonso, expected in The women's resolution asked him to take action looking toward outright repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Insist on Repeal The organization declared its belief that only upon repeal of the amendment and a return to the States of the power to regulate liquor "can a lasting solution of this great problem be founded." Doubt was expressed toward the liquor control plans of Henry W.

Anderson of the Wickersham Commission, Chairman Raskob of the Democratic National Committee and Senator Morrow, Republican, New Jersey. The resolution said it proposed repeal because "each of the outstanding plans a repudiation of the prohibition laws, requiring a new amendment to the Constitution abrogating its present provisions to become effective." Gain Many Members Reports of a swiftly increasing enrollment in 32 Stotes were presented to the conference today.

Two Accompany King Alfonso replied: "I am continuing my traditions." He lit another cigarette and stepped aboard a tiny launch waiting at dock.

The officers cheered and shouted, "Viva live the king. Alfonso replied simply. "Viva Espana." The little launch shoved its way out into the bay, where the deposed King Alfonso for boarded. the cruiser Principe his trip into exile. At 4:35 a.m.

Queen Leaves Madrid Continued from Page 1 Madrid, April 15 (P) -Queen Victoria and four of her children today boarded a train for France.
