BARRANOUuIA. Color

BARRANQUILLA, Colombia. Nov
2 (N.ANA).-The three-masted
schooner Urios is not being used to
carry petroleum anywhere in the
Caribbean and her owners would
never permit its ships to transport
supplies for the Germans, according
to officials of the Curacao Trading
Corp, said the owners, in a state
ment corroborated by Columbian
customs officials and the Neither
lands and British consular offices
The statement was made in de-
nial of a report contained in a
recent series of articles written by
Leicester Hemingway and Anthony
Jenkinson, describing the develop
ment of a Nazi refueling network
in the Western Caribbean. One Of
the articles had reported that a
former German Army officer, now
in business on the island of st.
Andrews, had made use of the
schooner Urios in obtaining stocks
of gasoline from Barranquilla.
The Curacao Trading Corp. does
not deal in gasoline fuel oil but in
the manufacture of lard and soap.
H. F. Bateman. British, vice consul,
added the comment. From my
personal knowledge of the manage
ment of the company, I would say
that they are not interested in any
way in assisting the enemy"

Big Part Of Grounds
OF Dumbarton Oaks
To Become Park
Bliss Reveals Plan
For Donation to
Government

"A large portion" Of the grounds
OF historic Dumbarton Oaks, whose
gardens are one of the show places
of the Capital. will be turned over
to the Federal Government by its
owner. Robert Woods Bliss, former
Ambassador to Argentina, to be
made into public park.
This was disclosed yesterday by
Mr.. Bliss at the opening of a two
day symposium at the Georgetown
estate in connection with inaugura-
ton Of two buildings recently COM
pleted at Thirty-second and r
streets NV. to house the Dunbar
ton Oaks Research Library and COL
lection, soon to be given to Harvard
University.
Mr.. Bliss was not ready to say
exactly how much of the estate was
to be turned into park or precisely
when the transfer would take place.
He said he and Mrs. Bliss had
planned to have a large portion of
the grounds turned into a public
park at their death, but that they
now planned to make the transfer
during their lifetime.
In general, according to Mr.. Bliss,
the area which is to become park
land includes the stream flowing
through the grounds into Rock
Creek and the land with its magni-
f1cent trees rising to Observatory
Circle. The property, he indicated,
will be turned over to the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission. 1t is adjacent to Montrose
Park. now one of the city's most
popular parks.
Development Long Planned.
Revelation of his plans for the
estate came as Mr.. Bliss introduced
the first speaker in yesterdays pro-
gram, Prof Henri Focillon of the
College de France and Yale Uni
versity. whose topic was prehistoric
ct Moyen Ages" The former Am
bassador told his audience that he
and Mrs. Bliss had for many years
been planning and developing Dunn
barton Oaks to become after their
death a center for research in the
fine arts and humanities. He added
they have chosen to emphasis the
medieval and Byzantine period mot
merely because of the beauty and
interest of its many-sided art, but
essentially because the forces then
