Portugal Anniversary
Celebration Mapped

Plans for the celebration in this
country of the 800th anniversary of
Portugal were formulated at the
Portuguese Legation last night. DR..
Joao Antonio Bianchi. Minister OF
Portugal to the United States, pre-
sided at the discussion.
Rejecting to smaller degree the
elaborate program to be carried
out in Portugal during 1910, the
celebration in the United States,
the group agreed, would include
exercises in colleges and universities
exhibits of Portuguese art, concerts
of Portuguese and Brazilian music
and lectures.
The government of Brazil, Por-
tuguese-speaking nation, is expected
to cooperate in the year-long cele-
bration.
The group at the legation included
DR.. Lewis Hanks, chief of the His
panic Foundation of the Library OF

Talk May Bring War,
Americans Warned

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-The
United States Is in danger Of talk
ing herself into war, DR.. Edward
Hambro of Norway cautioned Ameri-
cans.
II don't see how America can stay
out of war;" the Norwegian authority
on international relations said in
an interview. Everywhere I've been
during the last two months I've
heard the same opinion expressed
that no one wants war, but every one
believes in the inevitability of be-
coming involved. This is no way to
keep neutral"
DR.. Hambro, son Of C. J. Hambro
President of the Norwegian Parlia-
ment, remarked:
"Of course, we're anti-Nazi, but
we don't trust Great Britain either,
so 1t pays us to be anti-war."
He forecast a long and static war,
with both sides unwilling to sacri-
flee their men and fearful Of new
war techniques. The cost Of main
tanning armies, DR.. +Hambro said, was
greately overrated.
TITS cheaper than w. P. A."

President 10 Ask
$271,000,000 10 Pay
For Added Defenses
Deficiency Sum Would
Cover Cost Of Limited
Emergency Expansions

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt will ask Con-
gress in January to provide $27l,-
100000 for the armed forces, in ad-
dition to funds previously appro-
priated for the current fiscal year.
The extra sum is to finance activi-
ties in connection with the Euro
pean war.
The President told his press con-
ference yesterday that a request for
the deficiency appropriation already
had been transmitted to Chairman
Taylor of the House Appropriations
Committee. The funds would cover
extra expenses entailed by his proc
lamation of a state of limited ma
tional emergency.
The Navy's share of $146 900 900
would be more than half the total
and would cover expenses of the
neutrality patrol, including the re-
commissioning of TO destroyers
which have been idle since the
World War, and of the enlistment of
5000 additional sailors.
The Army would get $4,000, 900
for the enlistment of 1900 new re-
cruits, the training this winter of six
"streamlined" divisions in the South
and Northwest, and more than 10000
motor vehicles.
The appropriation would provide
81 100000 for the Coast Guards par
ticipation in the neutrality patrol
and sl,500,000 for the Federal Bu-
reau Of Investigation to finance in
creased activities and additional
agents
In this connection, the President
said in answer to question that he

volunteer civilian agencies to COM
bat espionage and subversive activi-
| ties. J. Edgar Hoover, director Of
| the F. B. l., ais drowned on them.

Quake Was Not Felt
In Woshinqton

The earthquake, as far as could be
told. did not make itself felt in
Washington.
Father Sohon, Georgetown Uni
versity seismographer. said his in
struments recorded the earthquake
as occurring at 9:45:19 pm. and
continuing for l minute. He said
the quake apparently was about 104
miles away and that the instru-
ments showed the intensity here as
so small that it was unlikely that
it would be felt.
Frank Newman, chief of the sec
ton of seismography of the Coast
and Geodetic Survey, said he had
not as yet "reconciled" reports of
the quake.
Questionnaires have been sent out
to about 300 postmasters in the area
believed to have been affected by
the quake. However, unless further
reports of instrument readings,
financed by Science Service, are
sufficient to locate the source of the
temblor, it will take some weeks to
complete information via the
questionable method, he said.
Unlike the quake which occurred
a few weeks ago and was recorded
at Boston and points northward and
westward, last nights temblor can
not be laid Immediately to a we'll
defined fault known to cause trou-
BILE periodically. The earthquake a
few weeks ago, Mr.. Newman said, is
known to have occurred in a we'll
known fault at the junction of the
st. Lawrence and Saguenay Rivers

The commissions proposal was
criticized last night by the Mari
time Federation of the Pacific Coast
an organization of several unions
mostly afnliated with the c. I. O.
The federation objected on the
ground that mo seaman will receive
relief unless he first enrolls In the

From San Francisco the fedora
ton sent kilograms to Mr.. Roosevelt
and all West Coast Senators and
Representatives, saying:
This is outright RECOMMENDATION
and can only result in a gradual
disintegration of the trade union
movement amongst maritime labor
Such a policy is an exact contradic-
ton of the New Deal policy toward

The Coast Guard is serving as

Most of Hundreds Killed
Believed to Be Children

NEW YORK, Nov. Is R.-An
oil company executive said last
night that most of the hundreds
killed in the Maracaibo, Venezuela,
fire were children trapped in houses
built over the lake.
Their parents were away at the
movies" he said. while our infor-
nation does not include figures, the
death toll was highest of three fires
there in the last Is years.
He said the houses, about 200 OF
them, were grouped in an area equal
to one or two city blocks. They
were wooden and heavily saturated
with OIL"
They must have gone up like
matches" said the executive. who
asked that his name be withheld.
The fire began when kerosene
lamp broke or overturned in a
house near the shore.
'tAn of-shore wind swept the fire
out into the lake, trapping all who
remained in their homes. The water
there is about 7 feet deep around
the colony. 1t is possible that the
water, coated with oil, may have be-
come a flaming lake which made it
impossible to swim to safety.
"A bridge, which connects the
houses with the shore, burned down
very quickly, cutting off escape. Not
all the houses were destroyed, how
ever.
Eighteen months ago the
Venezuelan government and the oil
companies built a new group OF
dwellings ashore at Ojeda. which
was supposed to replace the lake
colony. None of the workers would
move into the new houses, however

Anonymous Protests
Disclose Worst
Wage Violations
Labor Legislation
Conference Hears
Maj. Fletcher
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Maj Arthur L. Fletcher. enforce
ment chief of the Wage-Hour Divi-
sion, told the National Conference
on Labor Legislation yesterday that
anonymous complaints from en-
ployes afraid of losing their jobs
had disclosed some of the worst
cases of wage-hour law violations.
Maj. Fletcher addressed the con-
ference after the delegates from 80
States and territories had gone on
record in favor of child labor legis-
lation in the States. They also
favored ban on employment in
commercialized agriculture of chill
dren of migrant labor families.
The conference report called for
enactment by States of the child
labor standards of the wage-hour
law, and also suggested that en-
ployers be made to pay double COM
pensation for minors injured while
Illegally employed
The conferees also favored pres
sing for enactment of State wage
hour laws to cover wage earners
who do not come within the inter-
state commerce scope of the Fed
eral Fair Labor Standards Act.
Secretary Of Labor Perkins. re-
viewing the work of the Wage Hour
Division in the last year. said she
felt justified in concluding that
substantial wage gains had been
made" She pointed to the number
OF loW-paid workers entitled to
wage increases under the minimum
pay provisions of the law and two
special wage orders issued in tex
tiles and hosiery manufacturing.
In a discussion of the effect on
pay rolls of the statutory decrease
in the maximum work week from
A to AZ hours, George McNulty
counsel Of the Wage-Hour Division,
said the courts would have to de-
eide whether employers could force
employees to take wage cuts along
with shorter hours.
Employment of bookkeeping de-
vices to evade payment of over
time wages, he said, would be re.
garded as violations of the act.

telephone switchboards like Broad
way signs. The Philadelphia elec-
trical bureau at city hall received
more than 5000 puzzled inquiries
The greatest alarm was felt in
Wilmington, Del. and Gibbstown,
Pennsville and Deepwater, N. j.,
sites of power and chemical plants.
Residents tumbled into the streets
crying: Which plant blew up?'
Rumbling like distant thunder,
the shock knocked down pictures,
overturned furniture and brought
out emergency guards against fire.
! Mr.. Schlesinger said chances are
pretty good that we may have more
shocks within the next "a hours
but they will be little fellows, like
| this one"
