 The way the plan works is this: The NaziS get a friendly neutral European country to ap proach South American govern ment with an attractive offer to buy a large quantity of goods. Ostensibly the purchase is for the neutral, but actually it is for Germany, to whom the goods would be trans-shipped once they crossed the Atlantic.
 One suspected deal of this kind was uncovered in Fl Salvador, in Central America,
 The Spanish Minister there of fered to buy 5000 bales of cot ton from the government. With it's export trade in the doldrums because of the war, Fl Salvador would like very much to make sae of this size. But authorities are skeptical of the ultimate des- tination of the cotton.
 Fascist Spain is closely associat ed with Nazi Germany. Also, General Franco is heavily in Hit ler's debt for aid in the civil war. Authorities strongly suspect that Spain is herely acting as a secret front" and the cotton is sought for Germany and not Spain.
 If that is true, and the cotton got across the Atlantic, it would be a double triumph for the Nazis. They would have thumb ed their nose both at our Good Neighbor policy and the British blockade.
 NOTE: Real inside reason for the War Departments seizure of l3 bombing planes bound for Peru was not the announced one - that they were needed for hard-pressed Russia. The planes were diverted because Peru has been bombing open cities in Ec- uador which has no aircraft to retaliate. Lend-Lease ornaments are being withheld from both until they settle their border squabble.

GRACIAS, SENORA

The famous Briziian artist Can dido Portinari recently painted a portrait of Mrs. Douglas Fair banks, Jr., who accompanied her movie star husband on good will tour of Latin America.
 When the portrait was complet ed, the artist sent it to her. but much to his surprise the portrait came bouncing back, with a let ter in which Mrs. Fairbanks said that since her husband had been out of work for some months, and was now devOting his time to the service of his country Douglas is in the Naval Re serve), she found it impossible to buy the portrait. The price was $500.
 With a gesture which only a Latin could conceive. Portinari calcu ated the number of hours Mrs. Fairbanks had spent in sit ting for the portrait, multiplied 1t by the hourly wage of an art ist's model, and sent her a check.
 Then he gave the portrait to his tWo-year-old daughter.

ed down. Wheeler urged all pre- sent to prepare long speeches and to induce others to do like wise, to keep the debate going in the Senate as long as possible. An outright filibuster, he said, was inadvisable, but the debate should be long and loud enough to make the American people 'acutely conscious of the steps being taken by the President to get Us into war
 Nye, LaFollette and Taft also urged that arming merchant ships and permitting them to en ter combat zones were "insep- arabic components' in the pro posed revision of the Neutrality Act and should be treated as such in floor debate
 "Arm;ng merchant ships will be inviting Hitler to fire on them on sight, whether they happen to be in neutral or belligerent waters Taft declared.

LES M'MITCHELL
WILL RUN TONIGHT
New York u. Miller Will
Get Chance to Convince
Last of Doubters
By BILL BONI

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-R-Les
Macmitchell gets his chance to
convince the last of the doubters
in the New York A. C.'s track
meet at Madison Square Garden
tomorrow night.
When the 20-year-old New York
U. junior beat Walter Mehl, John
Munski and Chuck Fenske in Bos-
ton a week ago, there were some
who argued that the other three
milers had run in Philadelphia the
night before. Macmitchell, on the
other hand, had the advantage of
being fresh.
This time the situation will be
reversed. Mehl, Munski and Fen
ske, as well as Gene Venzke and
Luigi Beccali, the other starters
in the Baxter mile, have had all
a mile faster than 4 minutes 81

came back to run a half-mile
anchor leg in which he brought
N.Y.U. up from last place by IL
yards to first place by IS.
There is no doubt among the
experts that Macmitchell, for sheer
running ability, is on a par with
his rivals. What he lacks, how
ever, is their keen judgment OF
pace and timing. He doesn't al
ways u a heady race, and in
these days when the field is so
well-matched, headwork is almost
as important as footwork.
Venzke and Beccali, the gossip
goes, have pledged themselves to
cooperate in making this a fast
mile. They are reported ready tc
adopt the finnish runners system
of alternate p~ace-setting. Since the
other four probably won't feet like
letting either of the two get far in
from, it is not too much to expect
a mile faser than 4 minutes 81
seconds, the best so far this win

NAILS TRY FIRE
RAID ON LONDON
Raj Sets Skies Aflame
Over Calais In Attack on
German Bases in France

LONDON, Feb. 14.-R-Ger-
many's bombers tried a fire raid
on London tonight, showering the
city with hundreds of incendiary
missiles and explosives, even as
the Raj set the skies aflame over
Calais in a simultaneous attack
on Luftwaffe bases in France.
From dark until nearly II pm.
German raiders unloaded over sew
eral London districts, but squads
of firewatchers snuffed the fire
bombs almost as fast as they fell.
No large fires developed.
A northeastern port was attacked
with high explosive bombs. Some
property was damaged.
British night fighters took to the
skies in one Eastern area in an
attempt to beat off the attack,
which appeared to be n of the
heaviest in weeks.
Gunffashes split the London sky
in rapid succession; bombs fell
in several metropolitan areas, in
East Anglia and elsewhere. Other
planes were over the northwest
and tn midlands.
The RATS night raid was the
second attack of the day on the
so-called invasion ports, bombed
in daylight by British formations
which reported they fought through
German challengers over the chan
mel.
Anti-aircraft shells could be seen
bursting above the channel mist
on the French side tonight. Flares
also were observed. S

MEXICO PLANNING.
TO REOPEN WELLS
Camacho Submits Bill to he
open Oil Resources to Pri-
vate Exploitation

MEXICO CITY, Feb. IA Up -
President Manuel Avila Camacho to-
day submitted to the special session
of congress a bill which would re-
open Mexico's rich oil resources to
private exploitation and apparently
clear the way for the resumption
of operations here by the United
States, British and Dutch companies
appropriated by former President
Cardenas in 1898.
The Presidential message accom-
panying the proposed legislation
however, made it clear the govern
ment intended to safeguard its fl
nancial interest in any exploitation
Of it's petroleum fields.
Explaining his decision to pre-
pare notifications in the constitu-
ton which affirms all Mexicos ma
tural resources belong to the ma
ton, the president said he sought
that Amplitude and flexibility re-
quired for the best stimulation OF
private i%niative."
The president, who pledged op.
portunities for United States capital
during his campaign, told congress:
Such notifications are designed
to make attractive the leasing of
petroleum fields from the nation,
placing such leases upon a financial
basis more in accordance with the
realities of our capital market, with
the essentially speculative nature of
the enterprise and with accepted
business standards.
This, however, Without prejudice
ing the fundamental point Of view
of the law that the nation, as owner
Of the oil, is the one who first of all
should receive benefits resulting
from the exploitation"

Germany Claims British
Ship Losses Are Great

BERLIN, Feb. 14.-RHGermany
presented figures and predictions
today to show that British ship
losses from the Suez to mid-Atlan-
tic are such that they cannot be
repaired by the shipyards OF the
whole world.
They claimed that attacks on the
Suez, where two vessels have been
reported sunk, and elsewhere had
paralyzed "England's entire ship
traffic from the Mediterranean to
the Red Sea-" that roughly one
fifth of the total tonnage avail
able to Britain has been put out
of action; that surface war craft
alone have sunk $40, 600 tons Of
''enemy merchant ships" in dis
tant operations.
All this, said German military
commentators, will be intensified
as soon as Adolf Hitler's spring
time submarine offensive begins.

WOOD COPS LEAD
AT new ORLEANS
Ellsworth Vines, Former Lead
ing Net Player, Tied With
Others for Second

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. l4-R-
Blond Craig Wood of Mamaro-
neck. N. Y, led the first round OF
the SIS, 900 New Orleans Open Coll
tournament today but the role OF
spectacular fell to ELLSWORTH
Vines, who a few years ago was
the worlds top tennis player.
Craig had 36-34-O, two under
par and Vines, with a 36-35-7l,
was tied with four others for Sec
ond.
Vines, who turned professional
in tennis but retains amateur
standing in golf, came to the 18th
hole one under par and put his
second shot with a number two
iron, 10 feet from the cup.
Trying for an eagle three instead
of playing a safe, he sent the ball
10 inches beyond the pin-then
missed the short putt. Ellie's round
remained, however, his best eff
fort in an open tourney.
Wood played a spectacular
enough game himself. He came
through where Vines failed and a
putt. which went more than 20 feet
gave him an eagle on the 18th.
As a matter of fact, Craig's long
puts worked beautifully all day,
while practically every other con-
testant complained of trouble with
the fast and rough greens. He
dropped in four from 20 feet or
better and another from Is.
Tied with Vines were Ralph Gull
dahl of Chicago, 36-35-H; Harold
jug" McSpaden of Winchester,
Mass, 34-37-n; Ben Hogan OF
Purchase, N. Y, 37-34-71, and
