Elective Council
For D. {. Refused
By Commissioners

Reorganization Plan
As Asked by Randolph

The Commissioners today fatty
refused to revise their plan for re-
organizing the municipal govern
ment as asked by Chairman Ran

ments AS to the election of the
members of the proposed advisory
council, the board believes that the

ton.

''The board believes that the ques-
ton of suffrage is basic one which
must be determined by the Congress.
1t also believes that in the event
suffrage is granted some of the
boards recommendations as to in
ternal organization would neces-
sarily be subject to amendment.

Gil reporting to Congress, you will
note in the Commissioners reorgan-
ization plan as submitted to Con-

By Nazi Air Power,
Britain Admits
Aiming Of Fishing Croft
As Defense Measure
Hinted by Churchill
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 14.-Britain's first
lord of the admiralty, Winston
Churchill, indicated in the House
of Commons today that Germany
air power was keeping the British
blockade at a distance from Ger
many's shores.
Answering a question as to whether
the naval patrol was efficient, Mr.
Churchill said:
II think no one would expect us
to be able to maintain close patrol
or a close blockade off the German
coast having regard to the enormous
development of shore base aircraft
since the late war"
Mr.. Churchill said that Britain
was working to increase her protec-
ton of British trawlers and fishing
boats.
Questioned about increased Ger
man attacks on fishing boats and
trawlers, in which Col. Josiah Wedg-
wood, Laborite, said Germany was
numbering unarmed seamen," Mr.
Churchill said he hoped that with
in month or six weeks "a very
great measure of protection will be
afforded to our men" in the North
Sea-"
All May Be Armed.
In some quarters this was taken
as an indication that every British
vessel in the North Sea soon woulc
be equipped with anti-aircraft gun.
for defense against German bomb.
ers and aerial machine gunners.
Prime Minister Chamberlain tole
the Commons he considered publica.
ton of a white paper less effec.
tive than the present methods
of informing the public abroad o.
the inhumanity of German attack!
on British and neutral shipping ane
lightships as reported by Britain.
Mr.. Churchill, asked how five Ger.
man merchant ships now loading a
Rotterdam had escaped detection by
the British blockade, said the ques.
ton was not in accord with his in.
formation, but that in any case tn.
House must be aware that thu
coasts of Germany and Holland ar,
contiguous and that it is not be.
cause of a lack of British zeal OF
thought that any German ship hae
escaped.
Oil Problem Discussed.
The British and Rumanian gov.
ernments are discussing the vita
Rumanian oil exports question in al
its aspects, r. A. Butler, parlia-
mentary undersecretary for foreign
affairs, told the House.
Mr.. Butler said, however, that hi
was not yet in position to make g
statement on the situation, which
concerns German demands for in.
creased supplies of Rumanian oil
much of which is produced by Brit.
lsh and French owned companies.
Asked by Geoffrey Mander, Liberia.

would publish correspondence be.
tween Britain and Czecho- -Slovakis
after the Munich Conference of Sep.
tember, 1888, concerning a guaran.
tee of Czecho-S -Slovakia's S integrity
Mr.. Butler replied that the foreign
secretary would consider the sug.
gestion in any further publication ol

PORTUGAL LEANS
 TOWARD AXIS
May Join Germany, Italy If Given Guarantee of
 Her Sovereignty

Vatican City, Aug. 26-(UP)-Por- tugal is ready to throw in her lot with Germany and Italy if they will guarantee her sovereignty when the war is over, according to reports in Vatican circles today.
 It was reported tifat Monsignor Gennaro Verolino, auditor of the Apostolic nunciature in Lisbon, had been sent here as secret emissary of the Portuguese government to ask the Holy See to sound out tn axis powers on Portugal's position in the event of a German Italian victory.
 According to this report, Portugal was willing to provide the axis pow CTS with war materials and perhaps give them submarine bases near the route used by British merchant ships going to and from Africa. If she did this, however, Portugal would expect Britain to seize her colonies, which she could not de- fend, and according to the report here, she wanted promise from Germany and Italy that she would get the colonies back for her If they won the war.
 Although Portugal has been in the British sphere of influence for 100 years, it was said that she had been drawn toward the axis camp by her friendship with Nationalist Spain and that this was the reason for her reported pro-axis gesture, rather than her loss of confidence in Brit aims ability to win the war.
 Reliable quarters here said that Verolino was to be received in se- cret audience by Pope Plus soon.
