Forster visited Hitler at the same

attitude toward Poland to the ex-

thorny problem of Polish customs
control in the Free City.
Margarine Imports Barred.
The Senate answered sharp
note from Marian Chodacki, Polish
commissioner for Danzig, Monday
with an offer to discuss the number
and competence of Polish customs
inspectors in Danzig. Poland has
refused to permit the export of DAN
zig margarine to Poland until the
Senate takes measures to assure re-
spect for the function of Polish
customs control in the Free City.
At the time the Senate agreed to
negotiate the dispute, Forster was
with Hitler, but officials here would
not discuss any possible connection
between the two events. The tone
OF Forster's speech as indicated by

Gen. Franco Tightens
Direct Control Over
Spain's Government
Heads National Defense
Council; Ministry Of
War Split Up
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
BURGOS, Spain, Aug. 9.-Fran-
cisco Franco assumed greater direct
control of Spain's government today
through a ministerial reorganiza-
ton to promote peacetime recon-
struction Of the nation.
Gen. Franco, as President Of the
government, retained the supreme
right to promulgate laws of a gen.
eral character and may issue de-
crees without consulting the cabinet
whenever national emergencies arise
In such cases, however, he must
inform the cabinet of his action.
Adding to the generalissimo's di-
rect control were the splitting OF
national defense into ministries OF
marine, army and air with Gen.
Franco in executive command of
new national defense council and
absorption of the old vice presidency
of the government by the presidency,
Frances post.
Vice Presidency Replaced.
Gen. Franco created a SubSecre-
taryship Of the presidency in place
of the vice presidency.
Count Francisco Gomez Jordana
has been vice president and minis
ter of foreign affairs. The latter
portfolio was retained in the new
setup but the names of ministers re-
tanned or to be appointed to fill new
posts created by the three-way divi-
sion of the defense ministry had not
yet been made known
Other ministries called for in the
new lineup were justice. finance,
industry and commerce, agriculture,
national education, public works
and labor.
The labor ministry was substi-
tuted for the old ministry of or
ganization and syndical action.
Aim to Aid Reconstruction.
The reorganization decree in part
said that The war having ended
and the task of reconstructing the
nation begun, 1t is necessary to
| adapt the organs of government
- rapidly and efficiently to
carry out the national reconstruc-
ton and the aggrandizement of
Spain.
These circumstances make ad-
visable more direct and personal
action by the chief of state in the
government of the nation and also
the splitting of such ministerial &C
tivities as defense, which, though
fused in one because of the exi-
gencies of the war, now would ham,
per the work Of making the forces
of land. sea and air a permanent
organ of work under direct orders
of the generalissimo."

King George Reviews
British Reserve Fleet

WEYMOUTH, England. Aug 8 (P).
In heavy mist stabbed by the
fire of saluting guns, King George
VI today boarded the royal yacht
Victoria and Albert for review of
1873 warships-the reserve fleet which
Britain is tuning to wartime pitch.
A thin rain was falling as the King
was joined aboard the yacht by Rear
Admiral Jean Darlan, supreme COM
mander of French naval forces.
The King spent the morning in
specting personnel and visiting rep
resentative ships. The first warship
he boarded was the aircraft carrier
Courageous, where he passed down
the lines of 500 men on the flight
deck-part of the reservists called up
to man the refurbished fleet
A royal barge was ordered to take
the King from the yacht at 3 pm.
for high-speed trip past the lines
of ships anchored across Weymouth
Bay
After the review and two weeks of
shakedown the second-line ships will
join the mighty home fleet for ex-
tensive maneuvers in connection
with the August-September pre-
paredness period on which Britain
has embarked.
All types of British fighting craft
were drawn up for the passage of
the King through the review lines
aboard a royal barge-from the
29,150-ton battleship Revenge to
small, highly maneuverable torpedo
motorboats.
Manning the fleet were $4,000 re-
servists commanded by Vice Admiral

Then another and another.
Meanwhile they had shaken hands
with number of youngsters from
the Metropolitan Police Boys Club.
Mickey is member and has been
for some two years. Maj. Ernest
w. Brown, chief of Metropolitan
Police, patted Mickey on the shoul-
der while other officials of the
boys club looked on
The youngsters-Judy is l6, Mickey
18-seemed to be having fun.
Gosh, We never expected any
thing like this" murmured Mickey
as he climbed into Commissioner
Hazen's car for the trip downtown
to hotel.

They made faces for the pho

things to the radio audience until
the announcer commented on how
fresh they appeared so early in the
morning.

explained gravely.
"Oh, Mickey Judy chided, over

show of air. sea and land power was
marred today by aerial casualties-a

parachutes over Thetford were
slightly bruised. They had been
ordered to jump by flight sergeant
who himself stuck to the controls
and landed the bomber with damage
only to the undercarriage.
Eastland VS.. Westland.
The aerial exercises-a mythical
struggle between "Eastland" and
"WeStland'-were resumed at dawn
today with about 1900 of Britain's
best warplanes in action. Waves of
raiders about 500 planes in all,
approached a secret target from the
east.
Weather conditions which favored
the defenders last night turned
highly advantageous for the in
vaders, some of whom found con-
cealment above low clouds.
When overhanging clouds per-

Throughout the night giant
searchlights combed the skies and
anti aircraft guns were sighted on
raiders Bombers were equipped
with outside flashlights to glow each
time a theoretical bomb was dropped,
and whether it hit the objective was
recorded on the ground by photog-
raphy. Anti i-aircraft gunners' hits"
also were checked photographically.
Using Secret Equipment.
Besides guns, lights, balloon bar
rage and the usual listening ap-
paratus, the defenders were reported
to be using effective new secret air
defense equipment.
The high point of the maneuvers
in the air comes tomorrow night with
a gigantic blackout covering half of
England, including London. Esti-
mates were that it would involve
some 100000 air raid precautions
personnel.
Householders, restaurants, railway
stations, factories and newspaper
offices are to curtain their windows
during the blackout. which starts at
1890 m, Friday. Traffic lights will
be hooded and the street lights will
be turned off. Trains, buses and
automobiles will operate with lights
shielded from the skies. Off1cials
warned that those who fail to CO.
operate may receive a visit from
the police or air raid wardens.
