Portugal Will Defend
Liberty, Premier Says

B. the Associated Press.
LISBON, Portugal, April %
Premier Antonio de Oliveira Salazar
broke a long silence on Portugal's S
foreign relations last night by de-
claring at his birthday celebration
that national dignity, liberty, in
dependence and territorial integrity
are values to which everything
else ought to be sacrificed"
Before scores of thousands Of
Portuguese gathered in Black Horse
Square he added: But I do not
know that any nation ignores them. "
The Premier's declaration was
voiced in apparent answer to recur-
rent rumors of an impending thrust
by Adolf Hitler toward Gibraltar,
the British fortress, and that Spain
and her neighbor, Portugal, are in
danger of becoming involved. Port
ueal is a longtime ally of Britain
The axis press recently has di-
rected warnings to Portugal and
other nations still independent in
Europe that all British influence is
to be driven from Europe.
While chiding Portuguese who are
too preoccupied with 'hallucinations
of over-excited or malevolent fan
tastes" Premier Salazar admitted
that some Portuguese worries were
based on "the real gravity Of the
situation"

urged last night by the Brookland
Citizens Association, which ex-
pressed the hope that funds would
then be released for the construc-

Richard J. Hurley Of Catholic Uni
versity, which declared, "In this time
of emergency we consider books and
reading as vital tools in building
democracy, and library service es-
sential to the morale of our pop
ulation."
Dean J. Locke, staff engineer OF
the Capital Transit Co., explained
the company's position on the cross
town bus proposal.
The anticipated annual cost oi
$4,000 to maintain the Military
road service, he said, made the
northern route impracticable. In
stead, he suggested the extension
of the Bureau of Standards line tt

which might afford solution to The
problem.
