(U.P.) The German cruiser Koenigsberg today fired on the Spanish ship Soton near Santona and held its crew as hostages.

This action, it was said, was taken in reprisal for the refusal of Spanish loyalists to release the cargo of the German ship Palos. After the capture, the commander of the Koenigs-berg radioed to the Governor of Santander that he had captured the Spanish ship "as a reprisal for the retention of part of the Palos's cargo." The loyalists released the Palos, but held its cargo, charging it contained war con Famed Love Stories Told in Flowers BY PALL AVIUTNET Sweethearts, younj? anJ old, held hands, stole kissel and sighed yesterday as the romantic floral theme of Pasadena's forty-eighth annual Tournament of dipped into the pages of literature, legend and history and retold in beauty and fragrance the story of time's most famous lovers.

Olizaran: "I protest energetically against the capture of the Spanish ship, Soton, and demand immediate deliverance of the whole crew, unjustly arrested, according to all International law. I demand an immediate answer." RAYS ORDER IGNORED The commander of the German cruiser radioed back: "The Soton has been captured as a reprisal against the illegal retention of a part of the cargo and one passenger of the steamer Palos. The Soton did not heed orders to halt." Later, Gov.

Olizaran told the United Press: "The Koenigsberg shelled the Soton without warning in Spanish territorial waters, but it was not hit." The Governor said the Koenigsberg had forced the captain of the Spanish ship to sign a document stating that his vessel would navigate as it was directed to by the German ship. REPORTS TO VALENCIA He said that the Soton anchored and the crew was landed, the Reich cruiser meanwhile training its guns upon it. The Governor immediately sent a report on the matter to the Valencia government, which was expected to take up the matter with Berlin. British Worships Held Ready to Act LONDON, Jan. 1.

(British warships in.Spanish waters were put on the alert tonight after a new clash involving a British ship, while advices from Berlin indicated Nazi Germany still is reluctant to cut off the flow of volunteers to Spain. The British steamer Etrib, bound for Liverpool from Haifa, encountered Spanish insurgent trawlers in the Straits of Gibraltar and was halted by a warning shot, naval officers said. MASTER DEFIANT Lloyd's advices said the Etrib was permitted to proceed after her master had refused to sub mit the ship's papers to the commander of one of the trawlers.

OFFICIAL AWARDS MADE New Year's Party in Mountain Retreat Crushed by Snow Crushed beneath tons of snow when the roof of a remote mountain cabin collapsed in a New Year's tragedv. one man was killed and eight other persons, all of Lynwood, were injured. Battling tremendous snow drifts against heart-breaking odds rescuers reached the stricken party yesterday. The tragic accident occurred early Thursday morning but word of it reached the outside world only yesterday from the snow mantled fastnesses of the Valley of the Falls above Mill Creek Canyon near Forest Home in the San Bernardino Mountains, ROOF CAVES IN Weighted with twelve feet of snow the cabin roof collapsed, crushing out the life of Jascha Litwack, 26 years of age, of 817 Grand avenue, Buena Park. Litwack was general supervisor of Lynwood elementary schools.

Litwack's bride of a month, Mrs. Edith Litwack, was injured. Others in the ill-fated holiday party were: Mr. and Mrs. C.

R. Bitting and their daughter, Barbara, 11, of 12615 Oak avenue, Lynwood. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lintz and their two children, Robert, 9, and Barbara, 11, of 3531 Palm avenue, Lynwood.

SCHOOL OFFICIALS -''Bitting is a member of the Lynwood Board of Education and Lintz is Lynwood Superintendent of Schools. Litwack was crushed by boul ders from the fireplace in the cabin. He died almost instantly. The three children, who were asleep in another room when the roof caved in and the walls collapsed, were thrown from their quarters into the snow. Barefoot and clad only in their nightgowns they wandered in the snow for hours, suffering from frostbite and exposure.

The others suffered bruises and sprains as well as exposure from the ordeal. DIGS SELF OUT Mrs. Lintz, buried under eight feet of snow, dug herself out by using her fingers and a broken bit of plasterboard. After freeing herself she liberated the others. Her husband then located another cabin near by.

They broke into the quarters, started a fire and then helped the others to the place. Then Lintz set out on foot over snowdrifts five to six feet deep to find help.

Washington's Defeat Seen by 87,000 BY BILL HENRY When Pittsburgh's peevish Panthers, stung to burning fury by uncomplimentary local comments, trounced Washington, 21 to 0, before 87,196 Rose Bowl occupants yesterday they challenged the time-honored axiom which tells us that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. The Pitts were plenty furious. No matter how good a football team Pittsburgh has, and none but the nitwits ever claimed it wasn't good, it took something more than power and smoothness to steamroller Washington's fine eleven for touchdown drives of 55 and 75 yards, to add another score by a 71-yard gallop after an intercepted pass and to stop the Huskies cold on two occasions when their high-geared attack was just beginning to function.

Whatever it took, Pitt had it! With the precision of a finely tuned bit of machinery fired by the blazing resentment of maligned youth. Pitt's underslung team of terrific chargers and blockers struck with crushing power to pulverize the Husky forward wall and bowl over the secondary defenders with the utter devastating completeness of a well-rolled strike in a bowling alley. BIG GUN MUFFLED It almost made you cry to see a dashing, squirming ball carrier like Byron (Bender) Haines of Washington sprinting across the field dodging and squirming free from tacklers and still unable to shake himself into the open. But against the pulverizing power of the Panthers, the Hus kies could muster only sufficient strength to score occasional first downs, largely through the air. aaainst the ten-team group of second-stringers that Jock Suth erland substituted at the start of the second and fourth quarters.

The Huskies never quit trying and the flashy Haines, spearing passes and then swerving and twisting down the sidelines afterwards carried the ball to the Pitt 18-yard line in the second quarter and to their 20 in the fourth but each time Sutherland then pried his varsity off the Turn to Page 15, Col. 1, Part II Lehman Becomes Sixth Governor to Begin Third Term ALBANY (N.

Love anfl romance were in th tangy air. It was a gay, good-natured throng that shed their warm blankets when it was still dark and stood and sat on curbs and pavements until the sun came up, flooding the city with straw-colored light. CROWD HAPPY Mugs of steaming coffee, spicy hot dogs and as motley a collection of bedding as ever was wrapped around chilled knees, helped keep the crowd happy until 9:30 when the trumpets blared the approach of, one of the loveliest processions ever staged, at Pasadena the city world famous for its Tournament of Roses. Against a cj-clorama of tropical foliage and snow-covered mountains in itself an anomaly miles of floats loaded heavy with the most delicate blooms of springtime carried a message of romance in dead of winter. SPRING IN AIR Beautiful girls, many of them clad in gossamer, smiied in the sunlight and vied with their floral background for loveliness.

Spring truly was in the air and with the spring, young men's and old men's fancies turned to thoughts of love. Seated on camp stools, their knees snugly wrapped in a patchwork quilt, an elderly couple relived the days of their courtship as the parade passed them by. Unmindful that many eyes were trained on them, they held hands and smiled and cried a little. THROUGH MATE'S EYES They were a handsome couple.

Pain Assails Pope Again Doctor Fears Pontiff's Chances of Recovery Become More Remote VATICAN CITY, Jan.

1. (JP) Pain returned to trouble Tope Pius XI tonight after a New Year's Day made cheery by a rally in his health and spirits. Attendants said the Tope was again suffering to some extent from a varicose condition in his left leg. Dr. Aminta Milani, the Holy Father's physician, previously had expressed relief at a clearing up of the local circulatory condition affecting this leg.

DOCTOR FEARFCL His optimism was restrained, however, and it is known he fears the arterio sclerosis (hardening of the ftrteries.) with which the Tope is afflicted, is so far advanced that there can be little hope for real recovery. Nevertheless, the fact that the Pontiff slept virtually all last night for the first time in weeks- aroused hope in the Vatican that he might once again take over full administration of the Holy See. HEARS EARLY MASS Today the Holy Father listened to early mass said near his bedside by one of his secretaries, talked with Eugenio, Cardinal Pacelli, and received the New Year wishes of his sister, Donna Turn to Page 11, Column 4 Five Rescued as Monastery Burns OAKLAND, Jan. 1.
