EDINBURG—Judge W. R. Blalock of the 93rd district
court was to rule Monday on a demurrer argued all day
Saturday as to whether seven Valley shipping organiza-
tions which seek to restrain J. E. McDonald, state com-
missioner of agriculture, and others from continuing with
minimum price regulations on grapefruit, had stated a
valid cause of action entitling them to file suit.
Judge Rlalock said he would announce at the same
time whether he would grant special relief asked for by
the American Fruit Growers, Incorporated, from an order
effective at noon Monday cancelling license of the organ-
ization for four weeks, for alleged violation of regulations
promulgated under the minimum price program.
A large crowd of growers and others interested in
the case overflowed into the corridors, other courtrooms
and the courthouse lawn during the course of the day
and many of them stood for hours in the hot and stuffy
93rd district courtroom to hear arguments of attorneys.

PARIS—UP>— The end of
the long Spanish civil war
appeared to be only a mat-
ter of hours Saturday night.
The Spanish government,
officials of the Madrid re-
gime said, has agreed to of-
fer its virtual surrender.
The capitulation to the national-
ist government of Generalissimo
Francisco Franco will be called an
"armistice.” according to the offi-
cials. who declared it might go
into effect late Saturday night or
Sunday.
Only unforeseen resistance by
government followers, they said,
could postpone the end.
The agreement to capitulate was
said to have been given by Gov-
ernment Premier Juan Negnn after
written guarantees had reached the
British government from Franco.
These guarantees were said tn b«
assurances there would not be re-
prisals against Spanish government
leaders Nationalist authorities
likewise would guarantee Spain’s
freedom from German and Italian
domination, it was stated.
The assurances, largely meeting
Negrin's terms for government sur-
render. were said to have been
given by Franco apart from nego-
tiations in Britain and France for
recognition of th* nationalist
gime. expected Monday.
It was understood the time for
the “armistice” to become effect-
