Packaged Lubricants
Going 10 Spain Under
Old Export Licenses
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Outstanding export licenses for
packaged petroleum goods to be
shipped to Spain were not Cancelled
at the time British-An1erican
embargo on tanker loadings for
Spain was announced January %,
the State Department explained
yesterday.
The statement was issued follow
ing published reports that 250,000
gallons of high grade Pennsylvania
lubricating oil had been loaded at
an East Coast port for transport to
Spain.
The amount OF lubricants being
shipped represents very small por-
tion Of the petroleum products which
Spain could import were 1t not for
the suspension Of loadtngs, the State
Department declared.
The statement recalled that on
January %, the department an
nounced that "the loadings Of
Spanish tankers with petroleum
products for Spain have been sus-
pended, through action Of the State
Department, pending a reconsider
alton of trade and general relations
between Spain and the United
States in the light Of trends in
Spanish policy"
That announcement related only
to Spanish tanker loadings in the
Caribbean area, the department de-
clared. In addition to the sus-
pension of tanker loadings, the de-
partment decided to suspend the
granting Of export licenses for the
shipment. Of packaged petroleum
products Including lubricants, from
the United States, as long as the
tanker loadings were suspended, the
department said.
In making that decision, however,
the department did not cancel out
standing licenses for packaged pc
troleum goods.
The packaged goods involved in
the published reports are being
shipped under licenses granted be-
fore the suspension took effect, 1t
was said
A departmental spokesman indi-
Gated that the products being
shipped are mainly special lubri-
cants required for Spanish indus
try and that agents of the de-
partment will trace all shipments
after their arrival to make sure
they do not fall into enemy hands.

Arlington Leaders
|0rEnize Fight on
Cemetery Project

The Arlington County Board yes.
terday called Z meeting Of repre-.
sentatives Of all civic and busines.
organizations for pm. tomorrow
in the county board room to or.
ganize opposition to the proposed
expansion Of Arlington National
Cemetery.
One hundred and eighteen acre.
Of private and Federally owned
county land would be involved.
r. Freeland Chew, board member
condemned the proposed expansion
as q well designed move to CREEP
in and gradually absorb U.S." He
said that the National Capital Parl
and Planning Commission, which
had blocked construction Of q hoteI
on a portion of that land, should
occupy its time with slum clear
ance in Washington rather thar
moving in on the county"
Calls 1t ''Pocr Planning"
The issue was brought before thu
County Board by Thompson Short
1890 North Meade street, property
owner in the area that would be
condemned II the Senate-approvec
bill is enacted. Mr.. Short, who
called the expansion "uneconomical
unfair and poor planning" said
that If it would actually fulfill re.
quirements Of the War Depart.
ment he would not object, but
would release his property at q
loss. Constant fear Of Government
acquisition. he said, had kept many
property owners from improving
their land.
He said the acreage involved
would not keep the cemetery CO.
ing for more than a few years" and
that the same problem Of en-
croachment on Arlington County
land would recur.
Thomas Edwards, representative
Of the Arlington Democratic Club
proposed mass meeting. The board
stipulated, however. thet representa-
tives Of all organizations attend
rather than full membership.
Representative Smith to Attend.
Representative Smith, Democrat
Of Virginia, is to attend the meeting
which will be under the chairman
ship OF Edmund D. Campbell who
was named to represent the county
government along with. Lawrence
Douglas, Commonwealth Attorney
and Frank L. Dieter, Planning Com
missioner.
Three principal objections have
been voiced to the expansion bill by
county government and civic on
cials. They are:
That such a move would culmi-
nate in annexation of the county
as part of the District.
That the county would lose ar
area at the approaches TO Arlington
Memorial Bridge that has the great.
est potential value in the county.
That acquisition Of the land viii
satisfy only temporarily the need,
for burial OF war dead.
Cemetery of1cials said yesterday
that it was impossible to estimate
the number of graves the addi.
tional ground would accommodate
There are now 54,474 graves in the
408 acres within current cemetery
boundaries. Omcials said there
was ample" room for current anc
future burials for some time tt

How many summers. Love,

How many days, thou dove,

When t bends the flowers,

To count the hours!

On thee he leaves:
Some lines of care round both
Perhaps he weaves.
Some fears-a soft regret
For joys scarce known;
Sweet looks we half forget

forth his opinion that when the

engineer on Jan. 3 of this year,

and, automatically cancelled his
former designation as road engi-
