Spanish policy of vigilant neutral
ity would be maintained
Hope was raised Immediately in
London today that Fire, Turkey
and other neutrals might take Por-
tugafs action as a precedent and
extend military facilities to tn e
Allies. Turkey is allied with Brit
ain under much the same sort of
treaty as the 570-year-old British
Portuguese agreement under which
today's action was taken.
The new agreement has been
under negotiation for several
weeks, and Bern dispatch early
today. hours before the agreement
was announced, said Allied YES
sells already were patrolling off
the Azores.
It will be homecoming for any
American ships which put into the
Azores bases now opened to the
British. for the islands housed the
U. S. Nays Atlantic fleet head
quarters during the last war. Bases
in the islands are not granted to
the United States under today S
agreement, however. The United
States has no such treaty as that
between Portugal and Britain. In
1914-18 Portugal promptly declar-
ed war on the central powers and
her soldiers fought on the western
front.
The German news agency DNB
said in a Berlin broadcast that
the British-Portuguese agreement
had some points not announced
here, including a provision for the
abolition of German consulates and
other Axis consulates from h e
Azores and for the deportation of
Axis nationals.
British occupation of naval and
air bases on the Azores, which
Churchill said was a temporary
measure not prejudicing Portu-
guese sovereignty in any way, will

the Casablanca conferences - de-
feat of the submarine.

inforced patrol over the Bay OF
Biscay, main hunting ground of
submarine packs.
3. Provide refuelling base on
the southern shipping route to Brit
ain and the Mediterranean, which
hitherto has been little used be-
cause of its extreme danger.
4. Possibly enable fighter planes,
and certainly bombers, to be flown
directly across the Atlantic to Afri-
ca and later to the continent with

The story of Sons of the Sea"

SPYING and MUSIC
FEATURE DRAMA,
CAPITOL SUNDAY

Cairo a travesty on espionage,
and dedicated to the unsung heroes,
the writer's of spy melodramas, will
be the attraction beginning Sunday
at the Capitol Theatre.
The story recounts how small
town newspaperman. assigned as a
war correspondent, becomes involv-
ed in spy activities in Cairo and
unwittingly becomes the dupe for
foreign agents. There he makes
the acquaintance of famous Hol-
lywood motion picture star, who,
he had been led to believe, is the
leader of spy ring. She in turn
suspects him and the two innocents
carry on their little game while the
real spies go merrily about their
business.
jeanette Macdonald is the motion
picture star and she sings several
songs in the course of the proceed
ings. Robert Young plays the mis-
guided small town newspaperman.
A host of character actors play their
roles with spirit. They include Reg
inald Owen, Grant Mitchell, Lionel
Atwill, Edward Cianelli and Mona
Barrie. Foradded effect, Ethel
Waters as the film stars maid sings
a song.
In one of those fantastic climaxes
peculiar to spy melodramas the
spies are captured and Young para
chutes out of burning plane which,
radio-controlled, is headed for an
Allied troopship. The plane ex-
plodes before it reaches its des-
tination and the troops are saved.
The film was under the able di-
rection of w. S. Van Dyke.

Decrease in Demand
For Gasoline Forecast

The Bureau of Mines forecast
today that Nation wide gasoline de-
mand in the first three months OF
this year would be IL per cent below
demand in the corresponding period
of last year.
Demand during the last three
months Of 1912 dropped approx
mately 13 per cent below demand
during the same period OF 194l, but
the decline was not so great as had
been expected, the bureau said.
Unusual Government purchases,
larger exports and advanced buying
and stocking in october and No
vember that Offset the extension OF
ratloning from the East to the
entire country in December" were
cited as causes for the excess of
actual overanticipated demand.
The bureaus forecast of q IL per
cent decline in gasoline demand in
the first 1943 quarter was accom-
panied by prediction that demand
for domestic crude petroleum would
approximate 100000 barrels daily
a gain Of almost per cent. due
partly to reduction in imports.
While stocks Of refined petroleum
products in the Eastern area may
be reduced to economic minimums. y
they may be built up in some other
areas in anticipation of war needs
and of the completion of new trans
portation facilities. the bureau said
Daily average supply of domestic
crude oil to meet demand this month
was estimated by the bureau at s.
912 800 barrels. or about 1900 bar
rels above actual demand in Janu-
ary. 1912.
