Assistant Corporation Counsel Mil

walk and entrance to a buildingf,
lodged against two colored men
picketing the S. & w. Cafeteria on
Wednesday, if the union follows a
tentative plan to reduce the num-
Der of pickets to IL on each side of
the building.
Mr.. Norman said it was believed
that this number would be able to
space themselves so as not to OBJ
struct the sidewalk or block the
buildings entrances.
The tentative agreement TO re-
duce the number of pickets at the
cafeteria on G street and on New
York avenue NV, near Fifteenth
street. was decided upon, Mr.. Kor-
man said, after he had visited the
scene and discussed the problem
with union and cafteria officials, fol-
lowing hearing at his office in
Police Court. Police officials were
among those who discussed the mat.
ter at the hearing.
Mr.. Norman emphasized that
whatever decision is made that 1t
will in no way set precedent re-
garding any other picketing in the
city.
The two men who were arrested on
Wednesday, both colored, were re-
leased on collateral, pending fur

their way.
Cooperation between the fem

Presidents of the two republics, it
was learned in an interview yester-
day with Sonora Lola F. de Morinigo,
wife of Gen Higinio de Morinigo,
provisional President of Paraguay.
Since the sonora does not speak
English, the Paraguayan Minister,
Senior DR.. Don Juan Jose Soler,

planned that Sonora de Morinigo and
Mrs. Roosevelt feel that the good
neighbor policy of the Americas can
be bettered by the friendship OF the
women of the two countries. They
hope that the exchange of ideas for

understanding among the Latin and
North Americas.
Sonora de Morinigo appeared a
few hours after her arrival yester-
day in a royal blue crepe costume
with a tiny matching hat and shoes
She had just returned from having
tea with Mrs. Corden Hull and
Sonora de Soler. She is q young
and vivacious woman, with brown
eyes and softly waving dark hair
and an infectious smile
On her first visit to this country
Sonora de Morinigo is enjoying
every moment of her stay. She
brought her young son, Higinio

President Roosevelt, in order that
he might be treated at Warm

LONDON. June 14-Informed
sources expressed belief today that
British aerial torpedo hit on one
of Germany's two known pocket
battleships off Southern Norway
yesterday would keep the vessel out
of commission possibly for months.
Neither the Air Ministry nor the
Admiralty offered further word on
the fate of the oficially
declared to have been damaged
amidships while heading northward
with five destroyers, but informed
sources suggested that German at
tempts to get powerful warships
loose in the Atlantic indicated that
U-boats ana long-range bombers
were failing in their attempt to
starve out Britain and keep United
States aid from reaching the British
Near East forces.
The fact Germany is willing to try
to run British patrols along the
Norwegian coast tended to sub
stantiate the British Air Ministry's
claim that the 26.000-ton raiders
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau also
have been knocked out of commits
sion by repeated bombings of the
Brest naval base.
Naval circles said, however, they
did not assume the problem of sur
face raiders was yet solved. They
pointed out that depredations of
such raiders we're sometimes not dis
closed until months later, particu-
larly in the remote stretches of the
Pacific and South Atlantic.
While the pocket battleship was
not officially identified, it was be-
lieved to be either the Admiral
IScheer or the Luetzow, both swift,

Misunderstanding Claimed.
The American attitude was blamed
on misunderstanding of the French
position by authorized sources in
Vichy, the Associated Press re-
ported. These sources said they felt
the French should be considered
free to decide for themselves how to
fulfill their duties in regard to
French traditions and liberties.
France has contended that Syria
never was used as a German base
and that the planes which landed
there used the airdromes only as
stepping stones to Iraq, in accord
ance with terms of the armistice OF
last June.
Secretary Hull charged that
France had made no objection OF
resistance to German use OF Syria
to attack British forces in Iraq al.
though Marshal Petain, chief OF the
Vichy regime. had promised French
territory would not be used as base.
for German military operations.
British forces entered Syria, Mr.
Hull said, to prevent German ac-
tions there which the French were
permitting if not abetting." He
added that the facts enthusiastically
demonstrate" that Germany i:
making use of France and seems
to have prevailed on the Vichy gov
ernment to do Germany's fighting
in the Syria area"
Recent Statements Assailed.

cent public statements by Vice
Premier Jean Darlin and former
Vice Premier Pierre Laval had fur
ther brought into the open their
original scheme to deliver France
politically, economically, socially
and militarily to Hitler"

Croatia Will Sign
Axis Military Pact,
Rome Circles Say
Ciono Arrives in Venice
With Representatives OF
New Stote and Germany

By the Associated Press.
ROME, June 14.-Political circles
said today that Croatia would sign
the three power pact, joining other
Southeastern European nations
which have lined up with the
Italian -German-Japanese treaty.
This was reported soon after it
was announced officially that Ital-
ian Foreign Minister Count Gale
azzo Ciano had arrived at Venice
with diplomatic representatives OF
Croatia and Germany.
Naxi Minister With CianO.
With Count Ciano were Prince
Otto Won Bismarck, German Min
lister representing Ambassador Hans
Georg Viktor Won Mackenson, who
is Ill, and Croat Minister Cistjepo
Peric.
Croatia, born of the Axis con-
quest of Yugoslavia and set up
under Axis auspices, would be the
sixth junior partner to the original
tri-partite pact signed in Berlin
September 81, 1910. The others
not actually signatories of the
treaty but of protocols by which they
accepted it, are Hungary, Rumania
Slovakia and Bulgaria. Yugo-
slavia, before its conquest by Ger
many, signed the protocol, but the
government which did so was over
thrown.
The treaty provides that the three
powers shall mutually support
one another in case any one is at
tackled by a power not involved in
the European or Far Eastern con-
f1icts when the treaty was orig
mated.
