Present strength is 43,000. He said he also intended to create a spezial section of the Imperial General staff responsible for anti- alrcraft defence. Mr. Chamberlain disclosed Bri- tain had pressed for an immed- iate reply from Franco on the bombings protest. This would en- able Sir Robert Hodgson, British agent at Burgos, to bring it back in erson when he returns this wee to London for conferences with Government leaders.

OVERCOME OBSTACLE LONDON. June 28—(AP)-Great Britain. France, Italy and Ger- many tonight agreed to split the cost of proposed withdrawal of for- eign volunteers from Stalin after Soviet Russia had declined to shoulder her full share of the ex- pense. The agreement removed one more obstacle to the evacuation plan.but a new stumbling block rose to a concurrent British plan of sending a neutral commission to Spain to investigate aerial bombardmenis of civilian populations. Sweden unexpectedly followed the United States‘ lead in declining to 10in the commission although pre- viously she had indicated her alc- ceptance. Britain. with the aid of France. is seeking to persuade the Nether- lands to loin Britalrrand Norway on the commission willch will at- tempt to determine whether air raids have been directed against military objectives. The Soviet refusal to pay its al- lotted share of the expense of for- eign troop evacuation shattered a short-lived harmony in the Non- Intervention Committee. S. B. Kazan, Russia's representa- tive. told the non-intervention sub- committee his Government was pre- pared to pay one-sixth of the cost of counting the foreign fighters and maintaining non-intervention com- mission and the general evacuation organization.
