That the Spanish government appeared to have stopped the Insurgents' drive toward the Mediterranean, at least temporarily, also was cited by Blum as enabling France to keep her frontier shut. Preparations, nevertheless, went ahead to assure the security of France's Pyrenees border as, well as the freedom of communication on the vital tea, roadway of French and British empires.

Sufficient The army. It was judged the 70,000 now garrisoned on the Spanish border as sufficient under any circumstances. The navy, however, was planning to add extra ships to Its Mediterranean patrol. Four destroyers will be based at Port Vendrea, closer to Spanish waters than Toulouse base. Chamberlain's answer to Blum's urgent appeal was taken to the French foreign office by Sir Eric 1 'hipps, the British ambassador, before the prime minister announced to commons that Britain would adhere to Spanish neutrality.

The British government, It was learned, also asked more time to take a definite stand on Czechosio- Blum had told London there was "not a moment to lose" in the formation of a French- British agreement on Czechoslovakia. Informed sources, viewed Britain's promise to work with France to keep Mediterranean communications open as a logical sequence to the Nyon anti-piracy accord and the growing military and naval collaboration between London and Paris.

thrust the issue of peace in Europe squarely before Reichs- fuehrer Adolf Hitler. She and France particularly were active In a sudden wave of war fears that Involved most countries of Europe. There was a crisis In the Spanish situation, tension between Poland and Lithuania, fresh alarm in Czechoslovakia, while In Italy Tremter Benito Mussolini declared that Germany was. right In taking Austria. Foreign Secretary Viscount Hall- fax, In a vigorous statement In the house of lords, called on Germany to respect assurances to Czechoslovakia that Austro-German union was not aimed at her.

"We naturally expect the government to obey them," he declared, "and if indeed they desire to see peace as I earnestly hope they do is no quarter In Europe In which It la more vital that should scrupulously be respected." Adda New Danger, A Polish Lithuanian border incident suddenly added new danger In a situation already tense over Germany's next move In central Europe and the growing possibility ct Italo-German domination In Spain through a victory of the insurgents in the 20-month civil war. France, alarmed by the presence of Italians and Germans In Spain, appealed to Britain for joint action to seek a Spanish armistice and won a British promise of concerted naval action should French communications with North Africa bu threatened. The price of the pledge was continued French non-intervention in the Spanish conflict Excited by the possibility of a German move against her ally, Czechoslovakia, France also had sought British aid in event of action by Hitler to "liberate" the 3.500,000 Germans In the war- created 8oviet Russia reaffirmed her pledged of armed aid to Czechoslovakia, her ally as well, in case of aggression. Hitler returned to Berlin for a conqueror's welcome after his absorption of his native land into the German nation and summoned the Reichstag, his sounding board for important pronouncements, to meet Friday to receive "a declaration" by the government. Fear swept Lithuania that Poland might use her army to force a settlement of a crisis following a border clash last Friday in which a Polish soldier was killed.

Berlin army circles said Poland had given Lithuania an ultimatum expiring late today. This was denied by an official spokesman In Warsaw, Hitler's return to Berlin waB stated to have been hastened by this development and there was an unconfirmed report in Berlin that units of the German fleet at Swlnemuende, on the Baltic 300 miles west of Lithuania, had received orders to get steam up as a precautionary measure. Lithuanians feared they might feel the might of a Polish-German steamroller since they lie in the way of an anti-Soviet Baltic bloc. Warn Against Haste Britain and France made representations to Warsaw against hasty action. They were reported Inspired by fear of a possible Polish-German deal envisaging German support for Poland's absorption of Lithuania in return for Warshaw's adherence to the Rome-Berlin axis.

In Praha, a spokesman for Ger mans in Czechoslovakia warned the government must change her foreign policy before it was "too late." Clement R. Attlee, laborite drew the cheers of his backers as he opened foreign affairs debate with the anyone doubt that the assistance of Hitler in the conquest of Spain is part of the price for Mussolini's betrayal of Austria?" Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in reply accused the laborite of using "hard, provocative "Jt is tempting to reply in kind." he said, but the interna' tional situation is so grave I have uo heart for interchanges across this or reproaches and accusations ot betrayal" Attlee had asked: "What will be the worth of Gibraltar If the shores of North Africa and Spain are DUCE GRANTS APPROVAL TO HiTLtt COUP Mussolini, However, Warns Nations Not To Invade Italy. By EinVAM) KENNEDY ROME, March Premier Benito Mussolini approved Adolf Hitler's absorption of Austria today, but warned that any invasion of Italian frontiers would mean war. "Our frontiers are sacred!" Duce shouted In a nation -wld? broadcast. "We will not discuss them.

We will defend them!" His words clearly were an effort to stifle the anxiety of the Italian people, with Austria now only a province of Germany and the Nazi frontier at the Brenner pass. Italy, II Duce proclaimed Is not frightened by "the global figure of millions of Germans present on our frontiers." "First of all Italy, this Italy, does not allow Itself to be easily impressed." he declared. "This Italy has a firm will, a firm spirit It marches straight ahead." Defends Acquiescence Mussolini defended Italy 's acquiescence to the annexation of Austria as consistent with her past policy of defending Austria 's Independence. But, he declared, it would have been "an historical and political absurdity" for Austria, a German state to have existed Independent and anti-German. The previous policy he told a crowd that Jammed the chamber of deputies, was based on the promise that Austria wanted independence.

Recent events, he declared, proved Austria no longer desired her freedom and, therefore, it would have been pointless for Italy to intervene against her ally in the Rome- Berlin axis. -II Duce disclosed he had selled an emissary of the ousted Austrian chancellor.

SPEAKER TELLS ABOUT CARAVAN HERE APRIL 30 TIME ADVANCED ON COMPLETION Hope To Finish Docks Project By April 1, 1939. Time for completing the Pennsylvania railroad's new coal docks here has been advanced from the fall of 1939 to April 1, 1939, seven months, George W. Patterson, engineer in charge for the railroad, said last night. Patterson made no comment on the attempt to be made to complete it soon beyond saying "when we said the fall of "39 we thought we had more time than we're going to have." Work, now underway after a start last fall, is about five percent completed, he estimated. Under the revised completion time dredging must be out of the way by autumn this year, he declared, but work on the dock or land side of the project can proceed through next winter.

The last of equipment not now in service, the hydraulic dredge Indiana, will be put to work next month. Rapid work is reported in getting dock cells in place. Thirteen of them had been placed by late yesterday afternoon. George Johnson, docks manager, said coal is arriving daily for lakes shipment but there is no indication yet as when the first freighter will clear. Joe (Crow) Held As Mail Thief COLUMBUS, March 16 UP) Joe, the crow, is on the spot.

His owners, Mr. and Mrs. Myron Seibert, didn't mind when the pet made off, with one of his master's cuff links; neighbors were willing to forgive when Joe was found guilty of removing caps from their milk bottles, but then he made the mistake of stealing letters from mail federal offense. "I haven't received official word of Joe's activities," Postmaster Nathan A. McCoy asserted today, "but if this charge Is true, it looks as is Joe may have to be sentenced to a long stretch in the zoo." Joe, the crow, remained darkly silent.

Oppose Plan COLUMBUS, March 16 (JP) U. S. Senators from Ohio were asked by the Ohio liquor control board to oppose federal legislation proposed to permit the mailing of eight-ounce bottles of liquor and to increase, the federal liquor tax from $2 a gallon to on the grounds that the former would permit some Ohioaus to dodge regulations of the state monopoly system and the latter would encourage boot legging by adding to the cost of Director Of Publicity Ap pears Before Women And School Children Today.

Willkie, utility executive, and David E. Lilienthal, power director of TVA, went through the preliminaries of driving a bargain for government purchase of privately-owned power facilities in the TVA area today. Discussion, carried on throughout the day, resulted, Willkie said, In "no change in the general situation." He added that the confer- snce was confined to methods of procedure and to the presentation af statistical data. A recent Supreme Court decision placed the Federal Government and municipalities In a position to lnstal" publicly owned power facilities In competition with the private utilities. Willkie exhibited a readiness to dispose of 18 private power properties, If he can get his price.

"It's either sell or have our system duplicated." he told reporters with a rueful grin. Resume Parley Soon He added that the conference with Lilienthal would he resumed in a couple of weeks." In the negotiations, the bid and asked quotations are: The "actual legitimate eost" of the power properties, less deprecla by Lilienthal. The value of the power conipan ies as "going concerns" asked by Willkie. Explaining his stand, the utility executive said: have never asked a dollar for good will or Intangibles In connection with the price to be paid by the government for these properties. AU I want the government to pay Is the actual dollars invented In the business by the security I do not think the government should force us to take less under the threat of duplicating our properties with taxpayers' money." How wide a margin lay between these two vaguely presented figures was a matter of conjecture.

Present on the Lake Shore Electric interurban lines will be maintained, E.

V. Emery, chief engineer said last night, until buses are substituted for the cars, expected to be about April 25. The statement was In answer to rumors In Toledo and Cleveland service might be greatly curtailed or abandoned before that time. The rumors, Emery declared, might have arisen from the fact employes had decided not to attempt to purchase and operate the line on a cooperative basis, which means abandonment. Buses to replace street car service are expected the first week in April and thoso for inter-clty service about two weeks later.

While there has been nothing to indicate the substitute service will go Into operation at any time other than originally planned, he pointed out there has been sharp curtailment in manufacture of products going into buses, such as tires and wheels, and employment has been similarly reduced. This, might lead to delivery somewhat later than expected. Latest word received, however, is to the effect construction is being pushed rapidly to meet thu schedule.
