Ag form our shores and our waters" Early said.
 "That phase has relation only to enforcement of 8 true neutrality"
 MT. Roosevelt did not go to his executive offices this morning. He worked in his White House study where he can obtain greater seclu- sion.
 Early Shifts Query
 Early referred to the state depart ment questions on reports that the United States is polling American Republic Republics on the question of & conference to implement the American consultative agree ment at Lima, Peru, last year.
 First move toward insulating the United States against war came last night in state department reg ulations imposing severe restrictions on departure of American citizens for foreign ports.
 The Navy Department will decide today whether to provide warship escorts for American vessels bring ing out citizens home from war zones. A significant plan under consideration would call for Anglo American naval cooperation where in British warshipS would escort American passenger liners halfway across the Atlantic to be relieved there by American warships.
 It was learned that several Amer ican republics, including the United States, are considering consultations among the q American nations to form a American policy on problems arising out of the Euro- pean war. Such consultation was provided under the declaration of Lima.
 As To Passports
 Passport restrictions and consid- eration of naval escorts developed suddenly after the British liner Athenia with 314 American citizens aboard went down off Scotland and Ireland, victim of torpedo, mine or internal explosion.
 Two neutrality proclamations are planned now instead of one procla- nation in two parts as proposed Sunday.
 The White House has not revealed it's precise special sessions plans al- though the president committed himself in public statements since adjournment a month ago to recall Congress under conditions now ex- isting.
 If the neutrality act to be invoked today-closing to Great Britain and France and other belligerents &C., cess to American arms, ammunition and implements of war-is as un- popular with the public as with MT Roosevelt, some delay in calling Congress back here would give con. stituents chance to tell legislator: face to face that they should gt along with the Roosevelt revision plan.
 One Vital Point
 Vital in today's neutrality procla' nation is the question of war planel already ordered by Great Britain and France. Many of these order have not been filled. How much if any, an immediate embargo woulS hurt the airplane industry and adt to unemployment are questions t, which none here has made any pub lis estimate so far.
 Meantime the first 24 hours o general European war created on and possibly two instances in whicl the state department might find 1 desirable to protest to German, against Nazi invasion of the right of American citizens. Anthony Bid dle, United States ambassador {. Poland. reported to the departmen that German planes deliberately had bombed his summer home nea Warsaw. He and his family wer, in the damaged building.
 Liner Sinking
 Sinking of the British line Athenia has aroused a controvers. which can continue indefinitely First reports from the White Hous and through London sources that tn Athenia had been torpedoed wer denied by Germany here and abroad Demonstration that the yessed wa sunk by Germany could be ground for stiff United States protest. Proclamation of emergency regu lations began last night with pass port restrictions. Other proclama tons are expected as circumstance warrant.
