Replying to other questions, Mr.

ments that Capt. Joseph Galnard

Algic mutiny case, but that was not
true. The witness declared his or

Capt. Gainard carried full union

Turkey and Portugal
Courted by Germans

BERLIN, March 6 tP)-The Ger
mans apparently were marking time
today on the Greek situation while
tightening their hold on the Balkans
and courting Turkey and Portugal.
Portugal was brought to the fore by
the commentary Dienst aus DeutSch-
land, which has close Foreign Once
connections. 1t busted itself telling
the Portuguese as well as the Turks
how much they could gain with
Germany.
Dienst aus Deutschland mentioned
extensive British interest in Portu-
gal as "the last take-off place for
English air traffic and the last ha-
ven for connections with the empire
in short the last loophole for
London"
The commentary played heavily
on the theme that the British
blockade had shrunken Portuguese
trade so that Portugal gets prac-
tically no good out of her big colo
NAL possessions and can import only
for her own use and for trans-ship-
ment to British harbors."
Turning to Turkey, the commen-
tary asserted it is now evident that
Britain cannot replace Germany as
a trader there, contending that be-
fore and even after the outbreak
of war Germany and Italy were the
chief exporters to Turkey.

mittee, reporting approval of a
1888 SGT, ,102 supplemental defense
appropriation this afternoon, rec
commended to the Senate designa-
ton of a specific Federal agency
charged with responsibility for 10
eating new defense industries.
Asserting that it "has been very
difficult to ascertain who is definitely

posed that naval supply plants built
with money from the pending bill be
passed on by plant site board.

ment to create a board composed
of William S. Knudsen and Sidney
Hillman, directors of the Office of
Production Management, and Ches-
ter C. Davis of the Defense Com
mission, to pass on the plant ex-
penditureS in order to prevent
waste and fairly distribute these
industries so as to prevent undue
Capitalization of industry or NAL
distribution of the available supply
of skilled labor and the unnecessary
creation of unfavorable employ
ment conditions
Besides this amendment, the COM
mittee recommended addition of
S187 400 to the amount passed by the
House.
Providing funds for use during the
remainder of the fiscal year ending
June 80, the supply measure included
$157 ,102, 800 in contract authorize
tions and the balance in cash.
s8,100,000 for the Samoa naval base.
lie works included $4,700,0O0 for
strengthening defenSes at Guam and

Largest item in the bill was $685.
$4,000 for construction of military
posts. The Navy would be allocated

A decision by the Supreme Court
Monday was cited in District Court

the Court of Appeals decision which

most of the afternoon replying to

defense counsel, for a directed

desired to close arguments on the
motion today. The defense had
asked for acquittal of each and all
of the "a defendants.
Laughter SiIeneed.
Laughter in the courtroom late
in the afternoon from a section oc-

Mr.. Kelleher was asked by Justice

Cautiously y-Worded Answer
BY Turkey Expected

ANKARA, Turkey, March 6 CR.-
A cautiously-worded answer to
Adolph Hitler's assurances that
Germany has no aggressive aims
against the Turks may be delivered
in Berlin over the week end by the
Turkish Ambassador.
The answer, it is expected, prob
ably will not commit Turkey to any
definite line of policy.
Turkey is quietly strengthening
her defense preparations, now that
Germany is her neighbor in next
door Bulgaria, but most observers
agreed tonight that the prospect Of
Turkeys being Immediately thrown
into war is remote.
Government leaders at Ankara are
waiting to see whether Yugoslavia
Joins the axis, whether Germany can
force Greece into an armistice, and,
if not, how the British would go
to Greeces' aid against the Germans.
The Hitler note of two days ago
to President Isnet Inonu was re-
ported to have intimated that Ger
many wishes to look after Turkeys
interest and well-being."

Chairman George of the For
eign Relations Committee told
the Senate late today that he is
against conveying American aid
to Britain, and believes the Presi-
dent is against it, but pleaded
with his colleagues not to encum-
ber the British aid bill with pro-
hibitions against things not
contemplated.
He made the plea as another day
approached an end without a vote
on the first major issue in the bill
whether Congress should write in
specific ban against sending armed
forces or delivering material aid to
friendly nations in Europe.
Accepts Clark's Change.
To emphasize his assurance that
conveying is not contemplated, Sen
ator George offered to accept a
change in language suggested by
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Missouri
to make sure the word transfer" as
used in the bill does not mean the
President would have the right tc
deliver the goods in England.
AL day efforts by the administra-
ton to work out compromise that
would avoid a fiat ban against send
ing armed forces outside this herni-
sphere, failed late in the after
noon when Senator OMahoney,
Democrat, of Wyoming, put forward
his substitute, which would fatty put
Congress on record against both
conveys and sending men.
The administration fought this
and similar amendments because
they fear the effect it may have in
encouraging aggressor nations. At
one point in his speech, Senator
George declared:
Don't serve notice on our enemies
that we are going to abandon the

D. Campbell, mass production wheat
specialist, left aboard the Dixie Clip
per today for secrecy-shrouded
trip to England, after a series Of
conferences in Washington with
President Roosevelt and other ad-
ministration officials.
Mr.. Campbell, whose headquarters
are at Hardin, Mont, declined to
discuss the purpose of his trip, con-
ceding only that while in England
he probably would "see the Min
lister of Agriculture and any other
officials that one ought to see"
Il am not representing the United
States Government on any mis-
sion," Mr. Campbell said. ST am
going, freely and voluntarily, as a
private citizen.
Then you are going on private
business?" he was asked.
"No," he replied with wry smile,
ait isn't private business"
Mr.. Campbell, so far as is known,
is the first major American expert
on food production to go to England
and his trip aroused some specu-
lation that his mission might have
to do with an emergency attempt
at mass production of wheat in the
British Isles.
Mr.. Campbell declined comment
on this, but pointed out that the
United States and Canada had large
wheat supplies-perhaps 800,00O,0O0
bushels.
Asked whether he planned to at
tempt to dispose of all or part of
the American surplus, Mr.. Camp
bell tersely replied, No"
He denied, too, that he was the
representative of any combine
holding surplus American wheat"
