Hope Of Escaping War
Grows Dim, 1Ydings Says
Wide World Photo.
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 15.-Hope OF
the United States keeping out OF
war is growing fainter every day.
Senator Tydings, Democrat. OF
Maryland told the Maryland Press
Association at its annual meeting
today.
Senator Tydings said it would be
extremely difficult" for Great Brit
ain to win the war, even with aid
from the United States, but said
that 'if we can get stalemate in
the present war, we can stop the
democracieS from being beaten; we
can win the war"
Not only must we think of what
is going on in Europe. but we must
look to the Orient where Japan is
moving farther and farther south, +"
Senator Tydings said.
Gov. O'Conor told the association
that the preservation of democracy"
is "one fundamental consideration"
involved in 'au the wars and turmoil
that rage throughout the world
today"
The association elected G. A. Nc
Daniel of the fredericksburg Times
president, named Wilmer Cronin of
Aberdeen vice president and re-
elected S. E. Shannahan of Easton
secretary-treasurer.

thought that the inter- American
trade especially might be hit by
such a step.
At present there are 119 ships reg
ularly operating along the east and
west coasts Of the Americas. Fifty
four fly the United States flag, %
are Norwegian and the rest are of
various nationalities, including few
from South and Central America.
Rules Requires Compensation.
II this trade increases and ships
in the service become fewer, observ-
ers look for Argentina to cite the
rule OF angary-an inheritance from
ancient Roman laW-and take over
the belligerent ships in her harbors.
1t is expected that this would be the
signal for every other Latin Amer
lcan country to follow suit.
Brazil in the World War picked
up AZ German ships by seizure. Also
in the World War Italy appealed to
angary in justification of the seizure
of "a German vessels.
The rule requires full compensa-
ton for seized ships. 1t is reported
here that many belligerent captains
in South American harbors are Of
fering to sell their ships now rather
than wait for the invocation of the
old rule.

Estate Owners
| Protest Sale
To Tunneys
pv the Associated Press.

BV the Associated Press.
EASTON, Md. Feb. 15.-The for
mer owners OF an estate purchased
two weeks ago for Gene Tunney, re-
tired heavyweight boxing champion,
filed suit in Talbot County Circuit
Court today protesting the sale.
Bruce Naylor and Mrs. Viola Lee
Naylor allege they were deceived
and misled" by the agent who
bought the property in the name Of
Mr.. Tunney and his wife at an as
sigree's sale.
Several days after making the
purchase. John McKenney, Centre
vile real estate agent, said the
Tunneys might establish their per-
manent residence on the estate.
The MAYORS allege Mr.. McKenney
first deceived" them into believing
a private sale had been made to the
Tunneys and that there would be no
mortgage sale pending final nego-
tiations.
As a result, they allege, they did
not attend the sale, where Mr.. Nc
Kenney bought the property for
s23, 1000.
They termed the sale price gross
y inadequate" and added that i'm
provements alone had cost more
than 100000"

the French ships. These terms,
which are not being made public,
are so severe that there seems to be
little chance of their being fitted for
service at present.
However, if the shipping problem
grows continually more acute, a
prediction would be dangerous as to
what moves might be made concern
ing the Danish, French, German
and Italian boats.
British Rerout Vessels.
The British have been trying to
offset the losses of torpedoed cargo
ships by rerouting their own vessels
which have been operating in neu-
trail waters and putting them to
work carrying goods to England.
Each step of this sort creates new
shipping difficulties for the United
States.
For instance, the British have
withdrawn four ships from a service
important to this country's defense
industries-bringin rubber and tin
to the Pacific Coast from the Meth
erlands Indies and Malaga.
The Maritime Commission met
this development by selling Friday
to the Isthmian Co., a United States
Steel Corp. subsidiary, eight ships
for the East Indian trade. In the
last year the Maritime Commission
also sold four ships to the Alcoa CO.
for trade. chiefly in bauxite, between
the United States and Northern
South America.
Formerly, Alcoa chartered foreign
vessels, but they have become so
scarce and the price of chartering
has gone so high that Alcoa pre-
ferred to buy the four ships and
build eight more.
Five Transferred to Panama.
In our eagerness to assist the
British at the same time we fulfill
our own needs, the Maritime Com
mission last week granted permis-
sion for transfer of five United
States freighters to Panamanian
registry so that they might ply the
waters separating North America
from the British Isles. These waters
are forbidden by proclamation I'M
der the Neutrality Act to ships fly
ing the American flag.
BY November and December the
Maritime Commission will begin to
get delivery on the ships projected
for construction under the emer-
gency building program. Forty
ships have been delivered this year
under the commissions regular con-
struction program.
The completion of these vessels
eases the American problem and in
the long run will aid the British
to meet the challenge of the Ger
man campaign against British ship
ping.
Navy May Take More Ships.
Besides those named, only few
other vessels in this country could
be put to use in these difficult times.
Three ships are available for sale
in the Maritime Commissions laid
up fleet and the commission has 10
others in the fleet which it expects
to recondition.
The merchant fleet problem is in
tensified by the likelihood that the
United States Navy might expand
its practice Of requisitioning cargo
ships for auxiliary service. 1t is

Duce Informed Franco
OF Early Axis Plans,
Spanish Press Says
Perfect Identity Of
Views During Recent
TnIks Reported
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, Feb. 15-The Spanish
press gave the public to under
stand today that Benito Mussolini
had informed GeneralisSimo Fran
cisco Franco of details of an axis
plan for new move in the war
coming perhaps within an ex-
tremely short time"
Although the newspaper Arriba
had said earlier that the Spanish
and italian peoples were sufficiently
faithful and obedient not to need
further insight into what went on
at the Mussolini- Franco conference,
a few pointers" nevertheless were
released for publication.
They go further than anything
previously published. but are hardly
more than generalities. Written by
Vicente Gallego, the Journalist
who went to Italy with Franco, they
state:
Mussolini told Franco in detail
Of the axis immediate war plan
ana Wnat victory would SIGNIFY
for Europe; discussed Africa and
the Mediterranean.
Leaving the reader to guess what
an axis victory would signify, the
article was slightly more explicit in
the matter of Africa and the Medi-
terranean.
Spain, it said, had proved by her
intervention in Tangier that she
has concrete aspirations regarding
Africa.
The Franco -Mussolini meeting, it
was added, left no doubt that there
was "a perfect identity of views
on this as well as on other subjects
discussed.
The article affrms that the Medi-
terranean henceforth will be con-
sidered by Italy and Spain as their
joint sea.

Heavily Bombed
BY the Associated Press.


BITOLJ, Yugoslavia, Feb. 15-
Greeks claimed six-mile advance
north of Klisura in Central Albania
today, making the situation of Ital-
ians still clinging to Tepeleni to the
west even more precarious.
Greek and British warplanes Sc
verely bombed the stubbornly held
city, despite extremely active italian
aviation
The Greek offensive extended all
the way from the Tepeleni area to
the northern sector.
An early morning push resulted
in occupation of several points of
strategic importance in the Skumbi
River Valley west of Lake Ochrida,
it was reported here.
Farther south, in the Devoli VAL
ley, the Greeks made daring hand
grenade attacks and captured a
group of 60 Italians.
North of Kimara, Italian motor
lied units were reported to have
failed to penetrate the Greek lines.

forecast can be made in March on
what England will need in, say, next
January.
The figure of s7O0o,0O0000 for
British aid, discussed in the Senate
Friday, is said to be an incorrect
guess. One of the imponderables at
this point, for instance, is whether
England is to get more American
destroyers. A decision to send more
warships to the British Navy would
seriously upset any estimate that
might be sent to Congress.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau has long catalogue of the
goods requested by the British for
| delivery as soon as possible after
the aid bill becomes law. Cargo
vessels are on the list.
36 Danish Ships Sought.
American ship operators, mean
while. are still in the midst of nego-
tiation for chartering the So Dam
ish vessels tied up in United States
ports. If these ships could be used
AL IllC 1lCQIl u duS VI IL
might make 36 other American ships
available to England.
The problem of the Danish ships
revolves on the fact that the owners
in German-occupied Denmark, ap-
parently subjected to pressure by
the Nazis, have been unable so far
to agree to terms under which the
British would permit these boats,
flying the Danish flag, to ply
the seas
The Germans are aware that use
of the ships would be of benefit,
however indirect, to their enemy.
The British, controlling the seas,
insist that they be used in no way
that would be of benefit to Cor
many. The State Department has
prepared a memorandum on the
subject, but this Government is not
concerned automatically in direct
way with the problem. The Danish
Minister has made several trips to
New York to confer on the matter.
The captains of the vessels are eager
to go to sea, because the cost of in
action for a ship is high.
Angary Right Not to Be Used.
The American Government, it was
said yesterday, has no intention of
exercising the right of "angary" to
seize the ships, although reports
reached here that Argentina is con-
sidering a report to angary to OBJ
tain the use of the 100 belligerent
merchant vessels in Argentinan
harbors. Four of the vessels on
which Argentina is said to have her
eye are Danish.
The So Danish vessels in United
States harbors amount to 202 1874
tons deadweight. There are eight
more Danish vessels in American
territorial waters. In United States
harbors are also two German ships,
13,495 tons; 81 Italian ships, 223,855
tons, and IA French ships, 1909
tons. That makes in all $50 ,233 tons
of belligerent ships in United States
harbors.

they would agree to American use of
