AMERICANS REFUSE REBEL DEMAND

Chapman) had been ordered to return to Washington on leave of absence because General Franco’s representatives demanded that additional status be granted Mr Chapman as diplomatic representative, which the Spanish insurgents would consider tacit recognition of their regime by the United States. Mr Hull said the United States did not intend to comply or to make any further attempt to reopen the Consulate. HITLER GREETS FRANCO ON BIRTHDAY (Received December 4, 6.30 p.m.) BERLIN, December 3.
