Time Of Spanish Civil War Is Painful Memory For Britain

By ED SIMON Canadian Press Staff Writer Like a-—-spectre at the feast,

Spain's foreign minister has called on President Ejisecfower

an episode most of them would like to forget.

They tad taken sides enthus- fasiically when the Spanish civil War. was fought in the late 1930s, seeing the issues in clear outlines of black and white.

A generation of liberal idealists Passionately believe the rebellious forces of General Franco repre-

democratic government. They were bitterly. opposed by an . equaily vocal group which saw Franco as a crusader against a Tegime that was rapidly succumb ‘fag to communism.

VAIN EFFORTS

The British government joined of er Western democracies in vain efforts to localize the fig/st- ing and the harmiess - sounc ng slogan of “non - intervention” be- came a dirty word as German and Kalian aid poured imto the ccovn‘:ry for the rebels and the Rus:ians, reinforced by resem vo‘unteers, bolstered the govern- ment’s cause. _. ,

In the end, the worst fears of beh sides were amply justified. Denied the official sucport cf the West, the goverment steadily moved mito the hands of the Com-

Atlantic Ocean Gets Wider

As Continents Drift Apart

By ALTON BLAKESLEE

NEW YORK (AP)—The idea of |

North America and Europe are erijiing apart, by this theory, and the Atlantic is..getting wider.

There now are signs thet the,

The continents. might once have been joined, then drifted apart. Tue drift could be only one yard each 1,000 years, said Dr, Roger Revelle of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, Oalif., who is congress president. VOLCANIC’ ACTION

The pushing apart could be due to volcanic rocks welling up in the seas, pushed up by heat from the earth's hot, radioactive heart. What is certain is that the earth ts alive with forces in its imterior, Dr. Revelle remarked.

‘Among bits of evidence for the drifting of ~continents:

A great wide mountain ridge runs through the middle of the Atlantic, and around the world through the Pacific and’ Indian oceans.

There is a rift or crack in the fidge, ai least im the Atlantic, sad Dr. Maurice Ewing and as- sociates of the Lamont Geclogical

Perhaps, said Sir Edward, this break in mountains means they once were joined, then pulled apart as the continent drifted. ANOTHER SIGN

The oceans hold the history of the earth, and clues to the his- ory of the universe as well, Dr. Revelie declared. One basic ques- tion is where the oceans came from, and why — among all planets. in our solar system—only tthe earth has oceans and hand masses.
