 With Arms Those Nations in Plan
BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent

London, March 28.-(UP)-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain indi- cated today that Great Britain's plan for four-poWer Stop Hitler front includes concrete measures against any further aggression ill Europe.
 Although the prime minister did not say that a military alliance was proposed, he declared that Bri- tain's proposals to France, Poland and Soviet Russia go beyond plans for mere consultation in event of aggression.
 Answering questions in the House of Commons, Chamberlain refused to give details of the consultations still in progress with European pow CTS as a result of Nazi expansion in Central Europe and the threat of further dislocation of frontiers by the armies of Adolf Hitler.
 Four Powers to Consult
 It had been understood that the British plan called for a declara- tion by the four powers that they would consult on action to be talk en in event of future aggression Poland, however, refused to join such a declaration aimed at Hit Ter unless Britain, France and Rus sia gave her strong military guar antees of support in event of an attack by Germany.

NEW FASCIST ]. STATE MADE
Victor in Long Civil Strife Will Become Real Leader
 of New Spain
By JOE ALEX MORRIS

United Press Foreign News Editor)
 A new Fascist state was born in Western Europe today.
 The 32-months-o Spanish Civil War ended in triumph for the armies of Gen. Francisco Franco The surrender Madrid opened a still greater diplomatic struggle endan- gering Europe's trembling balance of power between democracies and dic- tatorShipS.
 Two hundred thousand soldiers under direction of Franco marched into the streets of the starved, Shell-shattered and exhausted Span ish capital. where Republican lead- CTS had run up a white flag without firing shot in the last act of a war that cost more than a million lives.
 Even as the Nationalists occupied the city, with the Fascist soldiers of Premier Benito Mussolini in the van, the Republican residence in South and Central Spain had crumbled away. the leaders who might fear execution at the hands of Franco had fled to neutral war ships on the Mediterranean coast and all appeared over except for the customary mopping up procedure.
 Future Already Decided
 The future of Spain as Fascist type state already has been decided. Franco will become 'El Caudillo" (the leader) with dictatorial powers for life as MusSolini is I'll Duce" in Italy and Adolf Hitler is "der Fuehrer" in Germany. Parliament tary methods as they were known in a limited way under abdicated King Alfonso and as they were de- veloped during eight years of Re- publicanism will give way to a cor porative system adapted from the

BY RICHARD D. MCMILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent

 Paris, March 28. = (UP) = The British supreme war council, headed by General Viscount Gort, arrived at Le Bourget this afternoon by air from London to inspect the Maginot Line and discuss plans for joint military oper- ation in the event of an Euro pean war.
 The flying mission was received at the air field by Generalissimo Maurice Gamelin, Vice Admiral Francois Darlan and Air General Georges Vuillemin.
 Ostensibly the British war council is visiting France to inspect the Maginot defense lines, but authori- tative quarters say the real purpose of the trip is stpdy on the spot how best to coordinate Frances and Britain's land, air and naval forces in the event of war.
 The visit shows that whatever may be the outcome of efforts to bring Hitler,s. expansion, Great Britain is going ahead determlnedly with France to lay the most solid foun- dations possible for military cooper ation not only in the west but throughout Europe.

Senate Held Up

The Senate had not gone into ses- sion at an early hour this after noon as Democratic members con- tinued in a lengthy caucus at which consideration of Senator George T. Culhane's bill setting up 6-day, 54-hour week for State Po- licemen was taking place. Last week Senator Culhane succeeded in up- setting the unfavorable report of the judiciary committee on this bill and action was deferred on the bill until today. It was learned today though, that some members of the State Police Department themselves did not favor terms of this bill.

|. The Dlll, Wnlcn was mCrOQuceQ by Representative Daniel J. Ma nancy of Waterbury, calls for re- paving of the highway from East Main street to Hamilton avenue and replacement of the old wooden bridge spanning the tracks of the New Haven Road and a small inlet of the Scovill Dam.
 At today's hearing members of the Waterbury delegation planned to argue that the route is short -cut for motorists desiring to get from the eastern section of the city to the southern and also linking such important highway arteries as the Hartford and New Haven roads. Pro- ponents of the bill also claimed that putting the road in the trunk line system of the state would aid traf- fic conditions in downtown Water bury.
 Present Road Too Narrow They also claimed that the pres ent highway bridge Is too narrow, obsolete, and dangerous. The com mittee was to receive suggestion | that if a new bridge is not fav- ored then the New Haven Road be ordered to fill in its track roadbed which would allow a stone culbert to be erected at the place and elim- mate the bridge. In the event of a new bridge the New Haven Road would be called upon to pay half the cost of construction.
 The Waterbury petitions were to be presented by Joseph Bauby who said that practically every resident in the district affected had signed.
 Included among the petitions was one adopted last night at meeting of the East End Community club which urges that the present Har- per's Ferry Road bridge be elim- mated and the road itself put in the State Highway System.
