Reich Press Keeps Up
Anti-RooseveIt Drive

BERLIN, Feb. 4 tP).-The con-
trolled German press tonight kept
up its campaign against President
Roosevelt. The gist of newspaper
comment was that the President
despite his denials of statements
attributed to him on foreign policy
was continuing an anti-German,
anti-Italian course.
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels' newspaper Der Angriff
said, Roosevelt in nowise took
back what he said about America S

of force into the scales in favor of

the steady retreat of the Spanish
governments army of approximately
200 900 men toward the French from
tier. The Paris government had
suggested an armistice to the In
surgents, but it was learned that
Gen. Franco had turned it down.
1t was then that the Negrin gov
ernment approached the British
with peace negotiations, high sources
said.
Independently of British negotia-
tions, it was learned that Senator
Berard had been charged with at
tempting to arrange the mass sur
render of the government Cata-
lonian army.
French officials, fearing mass
crossing of their frontier by retreat
ing government troops, perhaps un-
der gunflre, want Gen. Franco pub
licly to proclaim mass pardon for
government soldiers. The French
hoped that the governments fight
ers, if sure of escaping reprisals,
would surrender to Insurgents in
stead of storming the French border.
Permanent Mission Proposed.
To cap a day full of developments
1t was disclosed in Paris that Senator
Berard, in return for favorable In
surgent action. had been instructed
to propose permanent French mis-
sion to Burgos.
Working to cut down italian and
German influence with Cen. Franco
such a French mission would BE- in
addition to the French Embassy with
the Spanish government. To placate
Leftist parties and political animos-
ity the French government agreed
to keep an embassy with Premier
Negrin "as long as the war lasts"
Airplanes were reported awaiting
Premier Negrin and his ministers at
Catalonian airports near the French
border. 1t was believed the top
ranking officials would go to Valen-
cia by air when they decide resi-
dence is no longer possible in Cata-
lonia.
Spanish government officials in
timated attempts were being made
to transfer officers and non-com-
missioned officers from Catalonia to
Central and Southeastern SPAIN
where the government still holds
about one-fourth of the country.
Whether this military movement
had been started was not learned.

half the park acreage, representing
the excess of park space in Wash
ington over the average of COM
parable cities. At present this
would make the Federal acreage 20
per cent of the total land area of
the city.
This percentage would then be
applied to the general fund ex-
penses of the city for the year,
which means subtracting from the
total budget the highway and water
expenditures that are financed di-
rectly out of motor vehicle taxes
and water rates.
Not Perfect. But Simple Method.
Figuring the general fund total for
the coming year at $40,079 900. the
20 per cent land ratio would place
the Federal payment at the $3,015,-
900 figure.
Senator Overton, who has been
giving deep study to the problem
since his appointment as chair
man OF the Senate subcommittee
on District Appropriations month
ago, said he realizes his formula
does not take into account all Of
the factors that might be consid-
cred as the basis of Federal ohliga-
ton toward the Capital.
He believes, however, that it offers
q simple method of apportioning the
upkeep of the city on definite per-
centage basis, in place of the lump
sum, which he regards as haphazard
and unscientific.
In his opinion, there would be less
chance of conflict arising over this
formula than if other factors were
brought into the calculation.
Hearings to Be Sought.
He stressed also the fact that the
land ratio could be adjusted auto
matically from year to year merely
by determining whether the Fed

With the capture of Corona, Gen.
Frances troops had extended their
Catalonian conquests more than so
miles at the furthest points since
their capture of Barcelona 10
days ago. ~
The governments reorganized de-
fense line was said to have been
shattered again and final insur-
gent push to the French frontier,
wiping out the governments last
hold in Northeast Spain, apparently
was only question of days.
Government leaders were reported
taking steps to establish admins
trative departments in Pyrenees
mountain villages near the French
border to escape insurgent bombers
and the threatened loss of Figueras.

ROME, Feb. Sunday The

Communique Issued.
A communique, issued after the
meeting, which ended at lis am.
G:15 pm, E. S. To, indicated Pre-
mier Mussolini did not think the
moment had arrived to state Fascist
demands on France but would push
on for a complete victory for In
surgent Generalissimo Franco.

lam Legionnaires, the solid factors
in the victory, and makes known to
all that the volunteer forces of Fas-
cism will not abandon the struggle
before 1t has ended, as it must end,
with Frances victory"
Roosevelt Denial Rejected.
Yesterday the controlled italian
press brushed aside President Roose-
velt's denial of reports he had said
Americas frontier was on the Rhine
or in France by questioning its sin
cerity.
Newspapers called the denial tardy
and took the view that it was
prompted by an uproar of criticism
in the United States which they said
the President now was attempting
to quell for political reasons.
Fascist commentators asserted
that, whether Mr.. Roosevelt did or
did not tell the Senate Military
Affairs Committee on Tuesday that
the American frontier was some
place in Europe, such view was in
line with his policies-which were
regarded here as anti-Fascist.
Continuation of such policies, they
said, would mean that Italy. Ger
many and Japan would have to
take defense measures" Repeating
that their frontier would Be the
Panama Canal.
There was no indication when
Italy would reply to yesterdays re-
quest by United States Ambassador
William Phillips for an explanation
of bitter personal attacks in the
press against President Roosevelt.
Frnace Declared Aggressor.
Relazioni International. foreign
affairs review, said the democracies
must prepare to consider colonial
claims of Italy and Germany by
"reconciling themselves to the idea
of having to transfer territory and
to recognize rights
The magazine declared that
France already was an aggressor
against Italy by having tried to
stand in her way.
The Gironale d dItalia charged that
France and Soviet Russia still were
aiding the Spanish government
forces to resist the insurgents by
sending in arms and munitions.

Better Street Lights
For Safety Asked

Increased lighting OF streets at
night has been put forth by the Pet
worth Citizens Association as a
remedy for the increasing number
of traffic accidents and fatalities.
The February issue of the asso-
cations journal, the Petworth Cit
izen, urges the people Of the area to
demand better protection on the
streets.
Edited by Raymond E. Gable, the
Citizen said present lights tend to
blind the motorist and nullify the
search power of his headlights.
According to the Citizen, surveys
have been made in other cities, and
the provision of adequate lighting
has reduced the number of AUTO

Metropolis View Acts
On Amendments

Two constitutional amendments
will be considered at the March
meeting of the Metropolis View Citi-
zens' Association, according to Pres
ident Vincent P. Boudren.
The first amendment, proposed
by John F. Dirks, would alter the
western boundary of the association

Rhode Island avenue NE. north
between the Carmelite Monastery
and st. Mary's Cemetery to Lincoln
road, northeast along Lincoln road
to Franklin street and thence north
west to Michigan avenue. This
boundary, Mr.. Boudren explained.
would be in accordance with the
suggestions of a joint committee
representing the Metropolis View
and North Capitol Citizens Asso-
ciationsa
Delegates to the Northeast Con-
ference and to the Federation will
be made members of the associa-
tons Executive Committee if the
second amendment, advanced by
Mrs. w. N. Flinchum, meets with
favorable action. Mr.. Dirks stated
that the result of this move would
be greater administrative efficiency
as the delegates would be kept in
formed of association policies and
could therefore better represent its
views at conference and Federation
meetings.
The association will act upon the
proposal of Representative Harry
R. Sheppard to set up District
dispensary system for handling alco-
holic beverages under class A
licenses. Also to be considered Is
the resolution proposed by the Dis
trict Suffrage Association asking

Proposed Change
In School Board
Is Opposed
Fifteen Associations
Scheduled to Meet
In Coming Week

Although certain parts of the
Griffenhagen plan to modernize the
municipal government have met
with the approval of citizens asso-
Citations, there is one proposal in par
ticular that has met strong op-
position, the abolition of the Board
of Education.
Several associations have voiced
disapproval of this phase of the re-
port and one association, Connect
icut Avenue, has invited Henry I.
Quinn, who recently resigned from
the Board of Education to devote
his efforts to fighting that part of
the report, to speak on this subject
at its meeting Thursday night.
Other than discussions on the
Griffenhagen report and continued
efforts to obtain national represent
tation and local suffrage, the only
noticeable new subject being dis
cussed by the groups is a bill pro-
viding for congressional investi-
cation of class A liquor stores in
the District with a view to reduc-
ing their number and placing them
under Government supervision as
dispensaries.
Following is review of the asso-
Citations that met from Thursday,
February 16, through Wednesday,
February %.
