INTERROGATION OF NURSES
OFFICERS DECLINE TO COMMENT (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 24. It was learned from an authoritative source in Wellington today that the interrogation of the three nurses who left last week for Spain was conducted by police officers at the request of the Internal Affairs Department at Auckland. It was also stated that there was a strong possibility that the nurses would not be permitted to enter Spain because of the restrictions imposed under the extension of the non-inter-vention agreement to cover the dispatch of volunteers to Spain. The Commissioner of Police (Mr D. J. Cummings) declined to discuss the case other than to say he expected to have a report on the action of the Auckland police in a day or two. The Under-Secretary for Internal Affairs (Mr J. W. Heenan) also declined to comment pending a statement by the Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry) in due course.
