Protest by Portugal
On Roosevelt Talk
Is Made Public
Release Of Note Explains
Cause for Criticism
Of May n Speech
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Portugals protest against Presi-
dent Roosevelt's May q speech, it
became known today, centered on
the allegation that his references to
Portuguese possessions held mot the
slightest reference to the funda-
mental principle of respect for the
sovereignty of others"
The Portuguese note was released
today. 1t replied to Mr.. Roosevelt S
comment that Nazi control of the
Cape Verde and Azores Islands
would directly endanger the free
dom Of the Atlantic and our own
physical safety"
Such references, the Portuguese
government said, were involved
with the expounding of the thesis
that it devolves on the United States
to define and decide" where and
when it was threatened and 'in ex-
pounding such thesis there is not
the slightest reference to the funda-
mental principle of respect for the
sovereignty of others exercised and
maintained without prejudice to
anybody"
Unless there is clarification, the
note continued, ut might be in
terpreted as conducting to the ad-
mission that in order to defend other
countries or for its own defense, a
great nation would be at liberty to
commit a violation similar to those
the threat of which Is said to exist
from third states"

Justice Harlan Fiske Stone greeted
with judicial caution the news of
his elevation to the Chief Justice
ship.
At the home of his son, Lauson
Stone in New York City, Justice
Stone commented to the Associated
Press:
Il don't know whether one should
feel qualification at assuming such
large responsibilities.
1T is the kind of recognition any
man would appreciate. The re-
Sponsibility is so great that it doesn't
create any sense of elation."
The jurist who wrote 25 of the
courts, opinions during the term
that ended 10 days ago was in an
amiable mood as he halted in New
York during a summer vacation
that will take him to Colorado
Il should be happy" he said, "if
the thoroughness and efficiency of
the recent Chief Justice (Charles
Evans Hughes could be MAIN

Kissoue is is about 10 miles south

The coastal advance toward Bel

imperial and De Gaullist forces was
reported held up by the French de-
fense despite supporting fire from

pleasure with both his own and
Justice Stones appointments.
Il am glad to turn to work of an
exclusively legal character" Mr..
Jackson said. Il am also glad to go
on bench over which Harlan Stone
presides. His experience, his record
and his character make his choice
so obviously fitting that it should
meet with the universal approval"
The average age of the court
once known as the meeting place of
the mine old men"-will take a
sharp drop when Mr.. Jackson and
Senator Byrnes sit on it. The
average will be slightly under Sc
years.
Justice Stone is an imposing figure
in his black robe on the bench of
the high tribunal. He was a foot
ball star at Amherst College, which
he attended when Calvin Coolidge
was a student there. and now in his
late COS he is inclined toward
stoutneSS.
An attack of dysentery kept
Justice Stone absent from the bench
from october 13, 1886, to February

constant attention to his duties
since he joined the court.

The District Commissioners plan
ned to rush to Congress today an
emergency budget for the coming
fiscal year containing projects esti-
mated to cost s6,0Oo,oO0 as sup
plement to the regular 1912 Dis
trict appropriation bill scheduled
to be reported to the House tomor-

1t is planned to finance the emer-

in the Federal payment toward Dis
trict expenses from $6000,000 to
s7,5oo,OO0 an increase in the real
and personal property tax from
s1.75 to 50 and jump from to 8
cents in the local gasoline tax.
It is estimated a 25-cent raise in
the real and personal property tax
would yield about S3,500000 in addi-
tional revenue and that l-cent
increase in the gasoline tax would
produce another s1,000,000.

Gasoline Restrictions
Appear Inevitable
Iekes Declares
Hopes to Have PIon Soon
For Civilian Petroleum
Conservation
BY the Associated Press.


Secretary Of the Interior 1ckes
today declared restrictions on use
of gasoline in the East appear to
be inevitable"
He said he hoped to have plan
ready in a week or two" for
civilian conservation of oil. He
reiterated that any restrictive
measures should be undertaken
first on a voluntary cooperative
basis.
A spokesman for Price Admins
traitor Leon Henderson's Office said
Washington consumers may be
obliged to pay or cents more per
gallon for gasoline if the shortage
develops. 1t was emphasized, how
ever. that the Office would be gov
erned by costs In the industry, such
as transportation charges.
Mr.. Ickes, who is defense pc
troleum co-ordinator, revealed he
had asked the Maritime Commis-
sion to advise him what tanker
ships owned by American COM
panies now were flying foreign
flags, and whether these ships
could be pressed into service to
relieve the threatened oil famine
on the East Coast.
May Lessen Strain.
Every resource is being exhausted,
he said, to move oil to the East,
and he emphasized that the matter
of transportation now was taking
precedence over considera ton of
means to restrict pleasure use of
automobiles.
Mr.. Ickes and his aides discussed
the situation at a press conference
Ralph K. Davies, assistant oil CO.
ordinator, agreed with Mr.. Ickes
that "as of today restrictions seem
inevitable, but he also expressed
hope that measures now being taken
for transportation might lessen the
strain of shortage"
Mr.. Ickes said "if we can get
the cooperation of persons who use
cars to do away with wasteful con-
sumption" the strain would be re-
llcPcu SGlll II uTUllcT.
The House Merchant Marine Com
mittee, meanwhile, approved legis-
lation authorizing emergency in
creases in the load limits of cargo
vessels and tankers engaged in the
coastwise trade.
Carrying Capacity at Stake.
Endorsed by all Federal agencies
concerned, the legislation was sought
specifically to increase the carrying
capacity of oil tankers between the
Gulf and the Atlantic coasts to meet
the impending shortage of gasoline
and fuel oil
Aides of Mr.. Ickes said it was
estimated that an increase in tanker
capacity within the limits of actual
safety would add 10000 barrels daily
to East Coast deliveries, equivalent
to capacity of a 10-inch pipeline
Asked whether he had given any
special consideration to tourist
travel and the vacation use of auto
mobiles, Mr.. Ickes said There is
no desire on the part of the depart
ment to cut off a fellows vacation,
but at the same time there is no
(oiD gusher under this building"
He denied giving any assurance
to any one that seaside resorts
"have nothing to fear until after
Labor Day"
He had been told that a member
of Congress quoted his aides as CIV
ing such assurance. Mr.. Ickes COM
mented on this: Il wondered where
my messenger was yesterday after

BERLIN, June IA German
spokesman said tonight Germany
was still without proof that a
German submarine sank the
American merchant ship Robin
Moor.
He added that the incident was
being investigated in an effort to
obtain authoritative information on
the American claim that the ship
was torpedoed by a German sub
marine.
The State Department announced
this morning that an American
consular report stated the Robin
Moor was undoubtedly sunk by a
German submarine" in the South
Atlantic and that the commander
of the Nazi U-boat was fully aware
that the vessel was American"
Presidential Secretary Stephen
Early said that the report would
have to be studied fully before any
course of action was determined.

dent Roosevelt specific statutory
authority to take over defense
plants where there is an existing

ure. the Senate adopted a proposal
