WASHINGTON, May 1.-Presi-

point Hugh S. johnson, his former
friend and aide in the early days
of the New Deal, as a brigadier
general in the army reserve

BY KINGsBURY SMITH

Init News Service staff Correspondeu1
WASHINGTON, May If Gers
many attempts to occupy Portugal
the United States or Great Britain
will Immediately take over tho
Azores and Cape Verde Islands, it
was learned today.
There are indications that Amer
lean warships already are operating
on patrol duty in the neighborhood
of the Azores,
With renewed reports from Eus
rope of a possible German move
through Spain to attack Gibraltar
the fate of Portugal and its pos
sessions is considered a vital mat
ter both to this country and Great
Britain.
The belief prevails in well fns
formed quarters that if Germany
moves into Spain the Nazis viii
also occupy Portugal. It is feared
the Portuguese would be unable
to resist long against the mech.
anized might of the German army
and air force.
ANSWERING ACTION
In such an event, info med
sources said, this country or Brit
ain would undoubtedly have to
occupy both the Azores and the
Cape Verde Islands.
Apart from Great Britain's in-
terest in keeping the Germans out
of those islands, control of them
by the Nazis would, in the opinion
of American naval and diplomats
experts, constitute a direct threat
to the defense of the Western
Hemisphere.
Both groups of islands are re.
garded as controlling the European
approaches to this hemisphere. The
Cape Verde group, off the west
coast of Africa. is considered Of
even greater Importance than the
