STOCKHOLM, March l5-The
first definite step in negotiations
toward q possible northern defense
alliance was seen today In the arri-
val here Of G. J. Hambro, president
Of the Norwegian storting (Parlia-
ment).
Observers expressed belief that
Hambro would establish his first
contacts with Swedish political lead
ers on the question Of whether such
an alliance would be feasible.
These sources said military staff
conversations would follow to con-
slider important changes in scandi-
navian defense policy which would
be involved.
In Oslo, Norwegian Foreign Min
lister Halvdan Koht today issued a
statement In which he emphasized
that Norway 50 far has pledged her
self to nothing beyond willingness
to discuss the possibility Of a pact.
80 far as I know there exists at
present no draft or detailed working
out OF plans" Koht said.
Il can, however, well appreciate
the different conditions which may
make 1t desirable to take the PRO-
gram up for earnest consideration. p"
The foreign minister denied that
the matter was aired before the
Finnish delegation went to Moscow"
and said:

Quoted earlier about this question

speed rating was IS.
"The vibration was terrific and
you could see the engine foundations

Throughout the chase the vessels
pounded each other with shells. We
got within fully effective distance
and sent the submarine to the bot

New Air Route Planned
Between D. t.. and West

Plans for a new air transport
route between Washington and the
West by way Of Parkersburg. w. Va;
Cincinnati. Louisville, Evansville and
St. Louis were announced today BY
Jack Frye, president Of Transcon-
tinental and Western Air, Inc.
An application will be filed at
once with the Civil Aeronautics
Authority for permission to fly the
new route, which will connect at
st. Louis with the present New
York-Los Angeles trunk route. The
proposed route would add 983 miles
and total population Of $500 900
to the r. w. A. system, Mr.. Frye
said. and would provide the first
direct service between Washington
and such cities as st. Louis. Kansas
City, Amarillo, Albuquerque and
San Francisco.

available between Washington and

Central European and Southeastern
European states.
The latter, including Yugoslavia,

Benito Mussolini was reported to
have viewed the plan with strict
reserve, but the subsequent an
nouncement that Ribbentrop con-
cluded an agreement for Germany
to supply Italy with coal by rail to
circumvent the British blockade
deeply impressed Yugoslavs.
German coal trains Italy-bound,
now rumbling through Northern Yu-
goslavia, are being given the right
of-way over local traffic.
Yugoslav officials expressed the
view that the Rome Berlin axis is
functioning strongly in the economic
field. but they doubted that Premier
Mussolini would consider working
hand-in-glove with Russia.
