TA'GBTBTGST" MONDAY, JANUARY 18U THE BROWNSVILLE HERALD. BROWNSVILLE. U. S. WATCHES SPANISH MOVES IN AMERICAS Falangists to Spread Axis Propaganda Is Belief In Capital Circles WASHINGTON (fPl Spanish felariKlst activities In the American republics are under close watch by the state department, It was learned authoritatively Monday, because officials believe there is increasing evidence that Spain's collaboration with the Axis may be extended to foster the spread of German and Italian propaganda in the western hemisphere.

The Spanish government, Informed sources said, has opened a propaganda campaign designed to revive dreams of Spain's onetime ascendency in Latin-American affairs. This campaign, they said, is to be advanced by Falangist propagandists In Spanish embassies, legations and consulates In South nncl Central American countries and in the Philippines. Copies of official Spanish government documents received here, these sources reported, provide increasing indications that Falangist workers, operating through Spanish government offices, may also become clearing agents for Axis propaganda. At the present time, according to official information here. German and Italian activities in Latin American countries are being directed toward inculcating Nazi and Fr-sclst doctrines, encouraging potential i 'and fomenting opposition to Inter-American policies or plans for unified hemi- iphere defense.

"To date the Spanish Falangist propagandists appear to have accomplished very little." an Informed source said "but they are increasing and expanding their activities among the Spanish speaking peoples of American republics and might becorr.o a menace to American solidarity unless they are rxposecl." The director of the propaganda drive, this authority asserted, is Ramon Serrano Suner, Spain's foreign minister, who head of the dominant Falangist party and leading advocate of closer Spanish collaboration with the Axis.

"The navy arranged for an official investigation of the crash that killed everybody aboard, including four who had escaped death only last Thursday in a Texas bomber mishap. Civilian aviation observers generally blamed weather conditions. A low ceiling and dense fog made flying conditions hazardous in the area, some 35 miles southeast of here, and reports of neighboring ranchers said the pilot might have gotten off his radio beam, Plane Gunned Residents of the Simpson ranch two miles from White Mountain, the crash scene, said they heard a plane being "gunned" to gain altitude a few moments before they heard an explosion, and this brought the observation that a pilot off beam, believing him self over San Diego because of a zone of silence, might have started down, realized his position and attempted to climb out of danger, (The craft struck just 20 feet below the ridge, exploded and burned. Wreckage was hurled over the top of the 3000-foot granite summit and scattered over a half- mile area. The big plane, en route to the naval air station here, carried three members of a board of inquiry appointed to investigate the Texas accident, and the four survivors of that previous mishap.

The four had parachuted to safety when their bomber, being ferried from here to Pensacola, by way of corpus encountered a severe storm. A fifth crew member "bailed out" but was killed when his 'chute failed to open. The pilot and co-pilot, who risked their lives to ride out the storm and land the ship on a small pond, proved ultimately to be the only survivors of the seven aboard the bomber. Dead The dead were Joseph Henry Gowan, 54, Head Hill, pilot' David Everett Ferguson, 33, Neponset, W. co-pilot; Lt.

The most tickUsh of the many problems arising out of Great Britain's 99-year lease to i of naval and air base sites in Bermuda concerns standard Bermuda wage is 10 shillings (now about $2) a day. American wages are much higher. If the II, S.

SO the Bermuda Labor Board announced that it would arrange for the Americans to pay native workers the standard $2 a day. But native labor Is emphatic In its demands for as high a wage as the American laborers get.

So it recently formed the Bermuda Workers' Association--the first labor union in Bermuda history. Bases Take l-25th Of Area This is one of the many repercussions that have shaken these sunny islands as, after 300 tranquil years, they are suddenly awakened to find themselves vital bastions in an American defense chain stretching from Canada to South America. And, as yet, the American bases are only in their preliminary stages. The sites comprise about 510 acres --one-twenty-fifth of Bermuda's total area--at the eastern end of the islands. The air base is composed of a horseshoe of islands encircling the sparkling blue waters of Castle Harbor.

The harbor itself, once it has been blasted clear of a myriad of delicately-shaped coral formations, will serve.as the U. S. naval base. The main islands affected--Long Bird, St. David's and Cooper's -are among the most beautiful and best-loved parts of Bermuda, Their green, cedar-covered hills and their valleys that next Easter will be white with lilies are now dotted with multi-colored flags.

They mark the progress of the surveys which a 30-man army commission headed by stocky, efficient Maj. Donald White, is pushing ahead at top speed. Attached to the seaplane tender U. S. S.

George E. Badger, now anchored In the Little Sound off Hamilton, three navy Consolidated bombers make daily scouting and patrol flights under the command of handsome, well-liked Lt. commdr. Frederick. In addition a navy hydro-graphic ship, the Bowditch, is making daily observations around St.

George's. The date the bases will be ready has not yet been announced. Perhaps some men will sail for Bermuda next spring. A lot depends on how much machinery (all of which must be imported) and labor the army decides to send to do the job. present plans call for: air field with three runways of 5000, 4500 and 3500 feet on Long Bird Island (involving a tricky 200 acre fill).

Here unanimity ends, though naturally there are certain aspects which few Bermudians like. They dislike giving.a twenty-fifth of their land to a foreign power. They dislike the thought of modernization which the bases must bring--for much of Bermuda's ap- UI V-- -peal has been its charming auaint- haps it Js for the best that they should come at this time, I should like to add, however, that motor cars must not be used outside the confines of the American bases.

It would be absolute ruination to Bermuda." How you feel about the bases, after certain fundamental regrets, depends pretty largely on what you do for a living. St. George's is more pleased than Hamilton, because it will profit most from the bases. The colored population, which by and large has never had much money, is generally pleased. The Negroes figure any new business will improve their situation.

At the other end of the economic scale, the very rich are primarily resentful of change and the intrusion. LIU in particular they will study the organization of the new motorized corps in the United States, it was reported. With the experience and Information gained from observer-collaboration with United States army officers in meeting the problems of present-day warfare, the Mexican officials would make their knowledge available to military authorities here and powittly aid in the creation of similar modem units for Mexico's army. These sources said they understood Mexico ambassador in Washington, Dr. Francisco Castillo Najera, would shortly announce that arrangements for the visit of the Mexican officers had been completed.

The offer was interpreted in quarters as a response to President Roosevelt's assertion a week ego that the nation expected workers and management alike to keep defense production rolling without industrial friction. fc John Prey, president of the Trades Division, said at a press conference Sunday the pledge was conditioned on employers agreeing to arbitrate oil labor disputes without stopping work.

"that these islands should go on forever without being touched? If these changes had to come, How well they like the bases is proportionate to how little they feel the bases will hurt tourism. The most hopeful of them feel as does Kenneth Trimmingham, head of the island's most prominent family and proprietor of a famous store which caters primarily to tourists, "Speaking as a private citizen," says Mr.

Trimmincham, "I feel that the bases won't be so detrimental to the tourist trade, since they are located at the St. George's end of the islands. And they will be a great boon to St. George's itself." Air Field In Astor's Yard Among the immediate' problems raised by the bases is finding new homes and arranging compensation (estimated from $1,000,000 up) for the 50 families the bases will dispossess. This is particularly pressing in the case of the St.

Davis Islanders--a group of Bermudians whose families have lived in the same spot for 300 years and who have become almost a race apart. Few Americans are affected by the bases, althougs Vincent Astor's beautiful 24-acres estate will have an air field for a. front yard.

a former New York millionaire who transferred his citizenship to taxfree L-ichenstflin. He has Just spent a year building an elaborate home on Long Bird Island at an estimated cost of $200,000. It's too early to tell what the eventual effect of the bases will be. Bermuda has roots deep in America. It was first settled as part of the Virginia colony.

There are many who think that, even before the 99-year leases expire, these sunny coral islands will again belong to the same country as Virginia. Tills is an idea that few Bermudians like to think about. PAY YOUR POLL TAX MARBURGER IN PULPIT SAN BENITO--E. E.
