day. suggesting that some move was imminent. He refused to ara- piify the charges of improper and unWarranted action which the state department had made against German consular and Bemi-official agencies officials, except to say that they were of Q cumulatively subversive character.
 The order to customs and immi- grafton officers "to take all neces- Sary steps to prevent any German national departing from the United States pending any further instruc- tons" was explained as 2 move to prevent individuals secretly taking funds across the border in viola ton of the freezing regulations. II will have the effect until modified however, of preventing German na however, Of preventing German nationals from leaving the United States for any reason.
 Treasury officials expect to con- plete compilation of Axis credits and regulations governing them under the freezing order by the July 10 deadline for departure ot German consuls. The closing Of borders thus was not expected to interfere with their departure. Iil- stead, 1t would assure that they left empty.handed. It also will eTla- ble this government to check CT their destination. Technically there Is nothing to prevent the busted officials from going to Latin Aner- kca unless those governments ob" Jected.
 sharp Pratest Made
 dermany's official DNB Agency announced in Berlin that a sharp protest had been made to the United States against closing of Nazi con- suiateB here. The dispatch said the action was "unjustified and arbit- rayy" and Q treaty violation. The latest United States charge Of treaty violation against Germany was made informally last week by under-Sec- retary Of State Sumner Welles after he disclosed that Q German Subnar- inc had sunk the American fner- chant vessel Robin Moor. The formal protest still iB to go forward.
 Italy promptly froze United States assets in reprisal for the freezing here, and Virginio dayda, 6 Fascist editorial spokesman, was quoted in Rome dispatches that the American order amounted to Q declaration Of economic war against Germany and Italy. Germany has not yet frozen American assets but has said that the recent aggressive diplomatic moves by MT. Roosevelt will not be ignored.
 MT. Roosevelt has threatened to move on the island possessions of Portugal if Germany attempts to in- wade them, and this country Is committed to defend Greenland, Iceland and any area In the West Indies. But the President has side- stepped any commitment on Dakar, capital of French West Africa.

 He commented that the the radio locator organization already con. tained many thousands of persons.
 Explaining the need for volun. teers from overseas, he said:
 "Today we are faced by the fact that science and manufacturers are ahead of the supply of personnel We are therefore to make @ wide appeal Radio at least doubles the effectiveness of the observer corps"
 The technique came into being In an ancient motor truck at the great Daventry radio station in 1885. It was developed when the threat of war came and 1t has been tre- mendously expanded since then.
 Some trough and ready" locators were constructed before the war started and were used until recently. The system has been one of Bri- tain's most closely guarded war se- crets. Good radio men need two months of instruction to qualify for locator operation.
 Watson Watt, 49, is responsible for the chief scientific work of radio location, which has now been ap. piled for the detection of ships as we'll as aircraft. Millions of pounds have been spent in development.

 If the Lanham bill should be re- jectcd, the city will finance the water supply project with 8 s2,000,- GOO bond Issue, which the 1e4i Gem eral Assembly authorized 1t to float.
 The city has already filed formal application for federal funds at Washington, in anticipation of pas sage of the Lanham act. The a. mendment which would allow Wat crbury to benefit was inserted by Congressman J. Joseph Smith. It provides that cities may apply for federal money in needed projects which, if financed by the cities themselves, would result in excessive tax rates or undue increases in bonded debt.
