AGAIN DISCUSSED
British Aid Bill, Some
Say, Will Give That
Power To F. R.
By REX INGRAHAM

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-RCA
study of the administrations Brit
ish aid bill led some legislators to
the conclusion today that it would
empower President Roosevelt to
seize foreign merchant ships in
American ports and turn them
over to Britain, if he desired.
There were 266 such vessels
refugees from the war-tied up in
American ports on Jan. 1. Ronald
Cross, British minister of shipping,
recently said frankly that he was
casting %"covetous eyes, on tn e
Axis ships among them.
In turn, spokesman in Berlin and
Rome indicated that it would be
regarded as an act of war if the
United States made t e craft
available to Britain.
Most Congress members took the
view that the extent of power pro-
posed for President Roosevelt was
a delicate question of law, but
Chairman May D.-Ky.) of the
house military committee told
newsmen the administrations bill
would without question confer
power on the President to take
over the ships if the. we're NEEDED

Fire Losses Here Cut
To One-7hird OfAuerage
COOPER FILES REPORT
Losses OF Last Five Years
Total $389,261 Against
Previous $1,283,O00

Fire losses in Wilmington have
been cut greatly in the five year
period ending 1910, according to
the annual report of the Whining
ton fire department made public
yesterday by Mayor Thomas E.
Cooper, commissioner of public
safety under whose jurisdiction the
department falls.
In the period 1926. the report
reveals, the fire loss in the city
was 81, 283, 900. In the period 1886
40 it dropped to $3.50, 261. rs.
Increased efficiency within the
department, brought about by its
modernization by Mayor Cooper,
is credited with the reduction in
the annual report, written by Chief
J. Lud1e Groom.
"Your first step to increase the
efficiency Of the department was
an asset to the department, ena-
bling us to receive fire alarms
correctly and faster the report
saws, This was done by replacing
a 45-year-old alarm swltchboard
with a new ten-circuit GameWell
switchboard, also the installation
of the Vocalarm along with the
new switchboard has proven a
great asset to the department In
