Hull at his press conference said
thta he had only heard rumors or
reports that something had taken
place affecting the government sit
uation. But, he added, he had no
tangible facts on the Panama up
rising.
When asked whether the United
States viewed the situation seriously
as affecting United States defenses,
he responded that the question was
one that relates to the whole Pan
American movement and that he
wouldn't undertake to pass judg-
ment In the absence OF more definite
facts.
The state, war and navy depart
ments were seeking to obtain first
hand information as quickly as pos
sible to determine the possible affect
Of the change Of government.
Aside from the impor. ..nce OF the
Canal itself, offlcial interest center
ed on the fact that 104 American.
owned ships are registered under the
Panamanian flag. This step was
taken to permit the vessels to be
used in the shipment Of supplies to
the British and their allies without
regard to combat zones from which
American flag ships are barred.

which will be. held in the Bucking-
ham Hall, on Tuesday evening
October q under the auspices Of
the America First Committee.
Senator Nye has addressed scores
Of anti-war rallies throughout the
nation during the past six months
and he more than any other single
member Of the United States Con-
gress is credited with having kept
America out of the present war to
date. Observers around the ma
tional capitol in Washington are
agreed that Senator Nye has
whipped up sufficient anti-war OPP
position to keep the intervention
lists from plunging this nation into
another shooting war.
On every occasion when he has
beeen scheduled to speak before an
America First rally he has attract
ed thousands of people. Here in
waterbury he Is expected to at
tract at least 1000.

bridgeport, II am neither a Repub-
lican or q Democrat. am the serv-
ant Of the American people. To
them, to the mothers and fathers,
the sisters and brothers of America
do I owe my allegiance. Only one
country do I love and that country
d the United States of America"

people he has always been one OF
the first to introduce or support
every piece of labor and social leg
tslation that has been introduced
to the United States Senate.
Known to his fellow members OF
the United States Senate as a
fighter who gives no quarter and
who has never asked any quarter,
Senator Nye has the respect of ev-
cry member OF that body of law
makers, whether they be Republic
can or Democrat or Progressive,
On the same platform with SEN
ator Nye will be another outstand-
ing member of the United States
Congress. Congressman Hamilton
Fish, rated as the number one
orator of the United States Con-
gress has agreed to speak here with
Senator Nye unless the Neutrality
bill Is then before the United States
Congress. Both Senator Nye and
Congressman Fish made 1t plain
that they shall vote against repeal
81 modification Of the neutrality
law.
Final Acknowledgement of Con-
gresham Fish's appearance here
will depend on whether the neu-
tFality law amendments on before
the Congress on the 81, in which
case as House leader of the oppo-
sitio nhe would naturally remain
Ia Washington to conduct the fight
tn the House OF Representatives
againSt the repeal OF the law. Final
word will come from Congressman
fish tomorrow.
Z At the moment, however, he has
given assurance that he will share
The speaking honors with Senator
Nye.

HE to carry Hyde Park.

Bills Pre- pared
Chairman Tom Connolly, D., Tex.
Of the Senate foreign relations

eign affairs committee were ready
with bills to repeal section Of the
neutrality act and to approve the

the unlimited national emergency
proclaimed by Mr.. Roosevelt on
May ~.
Prior to the reading Of the pres
idents message, Secretary Of State
Cordell Hull said he considered 1t
important and urgent" that &C.
ton be taken quickly to change the
neutrality act, including repeal Of
section 8, the one which now for
bids the arning Of merchant ships.
He made the statement at a press
conference, authorizing direct quo
tation Of his words to emphasize
his concern over the issue.
Blooms committee will hold
hearings on the bill early next
week and leaders hope to have the
House pass it before the end Of
that week.
The president was specific In
asking the power to arm merchant
vessels.
He was almost equally specific
in requesting abolition of the COM
bat zones to permit ships to go
anywhere on the seven seas but he
indicated that that matter may be
deferred for a short while.

ko has, together with the encircled

No bloodshed was reported but
strong police guard was thrown
about the model jail, headquarters
of Arias' police, all members Of the
staff and employees Of the govern
ment newspaper La Tribuna were
arrested, and other Arias support
erS were reported In custody.
Left by Plane
Arias, 1t was revealed, left Panama
by airplane under an assumed
name. He was said to have boarded
an airplane at $50 a. m. Tuesday
bound for Colombia but his ulti-
mate destination was believed to be
Cuba.
Whether Arias slipped out Of Pa
mama in advance Of the coup, hav-
ing obtained foreknowledge Of what
was impending or whether the lead
ers Of the coup took advantage OF
his absence to execute their plans
was not Immediately clear.
First intimation Of anything I'M
usual came last night when Aneri-
can military and naval authorities
suddenly ordered all army and navy
personnel out Of Panama and back
to their posts In the Cana Zone.
Panama was declared out Of bounds
for all American military forces.

sumed this morning.

sympathy with the Axis powers and
q strong dislike for the United
States.
Relations between Panama and
the United States were subjected to
increasing strain until last spring
when Arias appeared to moderate
his stand and greed to allow the
construction Of American air fields
on Panama territory.
Only last Monday the Panamanian
government at Arias' instigation Is
sued an edict that no ship fly
ing the Panamanian flag could be
armed for protection against high
seas attacka nd that all such ships
carryin gdefensive armament would
be stricken from Panamanian regis

Among those arrested in the coup

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Ten Billion Dollar Army Supply bill, the largest single appropriation since the World War Days and carrying funds to give the Air Corps 10000 planes and sent to Congress today by the House Appropriations Con- mittee, drew a blunt notice that the huge sum is not sufficient.
 This notice was given during sec ret testimony on the measure by Under Secretary of War Robert F. Patterson, who told the Committee, while discussing the vastly expand cd plane program that we have in the War Department feeling there is military need for all the planes covered in this program"
 The Under Secretary of War did not amplify the statement for record but said it is estimated conservative ly that Germany's current airplane productive capacity is 5000 month- ly and the Nazis have already en- parked on program of utilizing fa- cilities of conquered countries to increase plane production capacity to between 4.000 and 5000 monthly.
