should talk with detectives about it.

poets were brought in for question:

Mr.. Simms said he followed the
girl with his eye until she got
within two doors of the delicatessen.
He added that he did not see her
turn into the store and explained
that he would not have been able
to do so because the plate-glass
front of the building extended into
the street and was between where
he was sitting and the entrance
TO the store.
A few minutes later, he reported,
the girl crossed the street to the
north side again from in front of
the delicateSSen. He said he no.
ticed her because he saw several
people coming up the street on the
north side toward him and thought
his three daughters might be among
them.
After the girl crossed the street to
the north side, Mr.. Simms con-
tinued, he paid no more attention
to her and did not see whether
she turned into the alley, whether
she turned toward Eighteenth street
or whether she proceeded up Florida
avenue to Nineteenth street. At the
time he first saw her, he said, it
was not raining hard enough for her
to have opened her umbrella, but
that downpour occurred shortly
afterward, forcing him to go in
doors.
Simms said he had told his story
to police several times, beginning
Tuesday, but that they apparently
had given it little heed. He also
revealed he had related it to other
persons, including Supreme Court
judge"
These developments added new
interest to the murder mystery that
has had police baff1ed since the War
Department workers body was
found in the rear of a garage in the
1700 block of @ street NV. Monday
morning.
Keck Visits Garage.
Capt. Ira E. Keck. acting chief Of
detectives, visited the garage last
night in company with several other
detectives and paced off distances
in the alley, but gave no explanation
of the visit.
Miss Jean Roberts, close friend of
the murdered girl, was called 10 po-
lice headquarters early in the eve
ming and questioned for more than
an hour. This was done, it was un-
derstood, because Miss Roberts
plans to leave next week in her vaca-
ton and it was thought possible she
might shed new light on the case.
Police would not reveal the outcome
of their talk with her.

Roosevelt Creates
u. S.-Axis Break,
Gayda Declares
PortioI Diplomatic War
Has Already Opened,
Fascist Editor Says
By the Associated Press.


ROME, June 2l.-Virginio Gayda,
authoritative Fascist spokesman, de-
clared today that Washington had
"created a perfect break" between
the United States and the Axis
powers. which meant continental
Europe"
An economic war and a partial
diplomatic war between the two con-
tinents has already opened, he
wrote in the newspaper II Giornale
dItalia, of which he is editor.
Describing June as undoubtedly
a month of notable political clarlfl-
cations" Gayda said everything
which may still happen between
Europe and the United States Is
the exclusive responsibility of the
American Government, which has
taken the initiative of unprovoked
aggression and has carried 1T boldly
to the present advanced limit
Message Held Like Ultimatum.
He declared that strong and ag-
rressive language" used by President
Roosevelt in a message to Congress
on the sinking Of the S. S. ROBIN
Moor May 2i on her voyage to
Capetown, South Africa. would not
be possible in formal diplomatic
usage except in an ultlmatum.
Gayda said the first clarification
was in relations between the United
States on one side and Germany
and Italy on the other, citing the
freezing of credits and measures
for the closing of consulates with
out pauSing at the insldlouS dis
tinction by Washington between
Italy and Germany"
Europe no longer will be base
of operations for American citizens
and consular officials whose pres
ence and often inSidious work Italy
and Germany have tolerated"
The editor asserted that the Presi-
dent was violating international
regulations in supplying Britain
with arms and munitions and was
deliberately going in search of war
against the Axis powers
Insist Calm Prevails.
Another Fascist newspaper, II
Popolo di Roma, said Americans
we're speaking ambiguouSly with the
intention to wait and see what de-
velopments the situation will take"
Fascist political circles insisted
calm prevailed. They termed the
Presidents speech an attempt to
hold Germany and Italy responsible
for developments in the worsening
situation between the United States
and the Axis powers.
Gayda said that Italians would
'flle the new document in the ar
chives already full of many other
papers of the same kind, and await
events calmly"
Gayda said Mr. Roosevelt with
all of his explosive manifestations,
once more has not gone beyond
words"
He threatens and demands repa-
rations," the editor wrote, but he
does not indicate what measures the
American Government intends to
take to protect American merchant
ships"

u. S. ConsuIotes in Reich
Cease Issuing Visos

BERLIN, June 81 (P)-United
States consulates in Germany and
German-occupied countries on in
structions from Washington ceased
today giving visas except in ex-
traordinary cases specifically ap-
proved by Washington.
The Berlin press still was without
a word of comment on the re-
quested closing of United States
consulates in Germany, but the man
in the street nevertheless was wor-
ried and asking whether history
would repeat itself.
The older generation, which re-
members the effects of United States
entry into the World War, especially
looked toward the future with peSsi
miSm and at the very least aban-
doned hope that the conflict would
be terminated within a reasonable
time should the present tension
lead to a final rupture of relations
between the United States and Ger
many and should the United States
openly join Britain.
Ddu Vial SNus
While the controlled press thus
ignored the most important news
occupying the minds of the people,
Deutsche Diplomatisch Politische
Korrespondenz, Foreign Office
mouthpiece, asserted that American
consular officials in Germany after
the outbreak of European hostilities
adopted an attitude which virtual
ly made them English agents
Korrespondenz also charged the
United States Government with
showing bad manners and ex-
pressed doubt whether such man
ners would pay in the long run.
A German spokesman said last
night that President Roosevelt S
message to Congress on the Robin
Moor case had been carefully noted,
but declined to comment on it.
AS far as the freezing of German
funds in the United States was
concerned, Adolf Hitler's newspaper,
Voelkischer Beobachter, arrived at
the conclusion that the United
States had cut its own flesh" The
measure, the paper said. was con-
trary to all rights and treaties.
The German American trade
treaty of December, 1923, contains
unmistakable guarantees absolutely
eliminating actions such as now
taken by the Roosevelt administra-
tion, the newspaper declared
Assets in U. S. Reduced.
German assets in the United
States have been reduced to 120.-
100000 marks Cs48,O0O,00o), Beo-
bachter said, while American hold
ings in Germany were estimated at
i,700, 100000 marks $3.50 900, ,O00).
TT is absolutely clear" the paper
continued, that there is nothing
left for us to do but retaliate The
only difference is that American
business must bear incomparably
higher losses, thanks to Roosevelt's S
measure"
The newspaper Boersen Zeitung,
commenting on the Turkish-Ger-
man friendship pact. struck at what
1t called President Roosevelt's pol
ICY OF intervention.
After Bulgaria, Yugoslavia,
Greece, Portugal, Ireland and
France, "the Roosevelt policy of in
tervention into affairs of the Old
World suffered another defeat in
the Turkish area" it commented.
"The new Europe arranges its af-
fairs without the help of the Amer
ican meddler."
