Brifain Believes ~ Nazis Engineer Grab For Rumanian Oil Bucharest's Expulsion of Reuters’ Correspondent Laid to German Intrigue B the Associated Press. LONDON, March 25.—Britain’s warships scoured Germany’s North Sea shipping lanes today in an effort to strangle her trade with Scandi- navia while suspicion mounted that the Reich might be engineering a grab of Rumania’s oil. Much British attention centered on the Balkans as a possible coming *“hot spot” of the war. ‘The press interpreted the expul- sion from Rumania of Maurice Lov- ell, Bucharest correspondent of Reuters, British news agency, as an incident in a Nazi intrigue to get hold of Rumania’s oil. The Daily Mail’'s Bucharest corre- spondent laid Lovell’s expulsion to the work of “10,000 German agents who have begun a vast campaign to undermine and disintegrate the Ru- manian nation.” Energetic Diplomacy Urged. Energetic diplomacy was demand- ed by the News Chronicle, which de- clared “it is of supreme importance to the allies that Rumania should not be coerced into accepting the Nazi embrace.” “Large and increasing British- French forces are marshaled at the eastern end of the Mediterranean ready to act wherever they are needed,” the Daily Telegraph com- mented. “Rumania agd Ycgoslavia know well that their interests, like their sympathies, are on the side of the allies.” Britain looks toward the arrival of a Rumanian trade mission a week from today as an opportunity to improve commercial relations be- tween London and Bucharest. The delegation is to negotiaté a new clearing agreement. Complaints By Norway. Norway’s Minister to London has made complaints to Britain alleging infringement of Norwegian neutral- ity during recent days, but there was no immediate British comment. In Oslo the Norwegian admiralty said there had been at least two instances of trespassing by British warships and a possible third was being investigated. But the Daily Mail observed that neutrals already “ have been “warned.” particularly by Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, “that they are not playing the game and the navy are (sic) only trying to stop the ‘leaks’ and make our blockade 100 per cent effective.” Answering Norway’s previous pro- test in the Altmark case, when a British destroyer forced the Ger- man prison vessel aground on the Norwegian coast, Prime Minister Chamberlain accused Norway's gov- ernment of “complete indifference 25 to the use which might be made | of their territorial waters by the | German fleet.” | Third Blow at Reich. Pushing her sea blockade further | from home shores, Britain counted a | third blow against Germany’s mer- | chant marine in the mine-infested | waters of the Eastern North Sea. Haval action was credited for the | grounding of the 5,000-ton German freighter Ostprussen, which ran ashore on Jutland with a cargo of coke after zig-zagging for three days | to escape British searchers off the | west coast of Denmark. This fol- lowed sinking yesterday of the Ger- | man collier Edmund Hugo Stinnes by a British submarine. The Admiralty acknowledged one | casualty—the 210-ton naval trawler Loch Assater, which was sunk by a mine off the Northern Scottish coast. Tne former Aberrdeen fishing | boat, converted to war use, was the | British Navy's 31st loss of the war. | It had survived a German bombing attack in January . Fiscal (Continued From First Page.) to still other methods of increasing revenue. One of the most important of these is the cash which the 40-odd Government corporations were asked by the President to turn over to the Treasury. The President estimated $700,000,000 from this source, but some of the experts working on this project figure that the yield could be raised to $1,000,000,000 if neces- sary. NIr. Roosevelt asked Congress in Januar yto vote $460,000,000 of addi- tional defense taxes to avoid the debt limit. Since the news of fa- vorable tax returns, however, con- gressional leaders have virtually given up the idea of such a levy. Not even the unbudgeted farm parity fund of $212,000,000 which the Senate voted last week dis- heartened the officials figuring on the debt limit. They pointed out that, except for about $50,000,000 to growers of winter wheat, the pro- pofed parity payments actually would not be disbursed until after June 30, 1941, At last count the Treasury’s debt ‘was $42,520,613,412. This was higher than any figure on record, but still mt roughly, $2,500,000,000 below the Deficits vary from month to month, but are slated to average $330,000,000 a month this fiscal year, ending June 30, and about $180,- 000,000 a month in the next fiscal year. The averages may prove lower because of the revenue situation. OO THE RIGHT LENSES FOR YOUR EYES! Correct diag- nosis is essential in the cor- rection of visual defects.

[ - ARCHDIOCESE HEAD INSTALLED—The Most Rev. Michael J. Curley, followed by dignitaries of the Catholic Church, is shown today entering St. Matthew’s Cathedral, where he was enthroned THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

But that never justifies | our having any anti-feeling against | Jew or Protestant or unbeliever.” | On the laity, too, he urged the | active practice of their faith, and | pleged his help “to foster in every way possible the growth and in- fluence of our lay organizations.” Fearless Laity Need of Hour. “Were I to be asked the need of the hour,” Archbishop Curley said, | “I would answer, a devoted, well- instructed, fearless Catholic laity proud of the religion of Jesus Christ, regulating their lives by the teaching that once fell from the lips of the God Man by lake shore | and mountain side, making that religion the norm of their relations with their fellow men.” Procession to Altar. The enthronement ceremony be- gan with a procession from the episcopa! residence adjoining the Cathedral that brought the arch- bishop to the altar. First came priests of the arch- diocese in biack cassock and white surplice; then the red-robed mon- | signorl and bishops; then the robed orders from Catholic University. Preceded by a cross-bearer, Arch- bishop Curley followed with his' chaplains, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Harry A. Quinn, rector of Baltimore Cathe- dral, ‘and the Rt. Rev. Engene J. Connelly, pastor of St. Peter's Church here. A short distance to | the rear came the apostolic delegate, | the Most Rev. Amleto Cicognani, who officiated at the enthronement. He was accompanied by his chap- lains, the Rt. Rev. M. J. Riordan, pastor of St. Martin's -Church, and the Rt. Rev. Thomas G. Smyth, pastor of the Church of the Blessed Sacrament, with the train of his scarlet robe carried by young Fabian | |and Florent Hughes, who attend St. | Matthew'’s School. Papal Bulls Read. At the door ef the cathedral Archbishop Curley and Archbishop Cicognani were met by the Right Rev. Msgr. Edward L. Buckey, pastor of the cathedral, and proceeded then to the Sacred Heart Chapel for prayer. They then entered the high-domed sanctuary, with their attendants, the apostolic delegate ascending a throne on the Gospel side of the altar, while Archbishop Curley sat on a faldstool on the same side, below the altar level. The Rev. Dr. John K. Cart- wright, pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, read the papal bulls establishing the new archdiocese and the executorial or- ders of the apostolic delegate. Congregation Blessed. Archbishop Curley next ascended the altar and conferred his bless- ing on the congregation, and then took his seat on the throne at the left, which was vacated by the apostolic delegate, who assumed a place at the epistle side of the altar, after handing the crozier to Archbishop Curley as the sign of his pastoral authority. After this, as the choir chanted the “Te Deum,” Archbishop Curley received the obedience of the priests of Washington, each approaching the throne and kneeling to kiss his ring.

Mass Ends Ceremony. Archbishop Curley’s address was in response to that of Archbishop Cicognani. Concluding the cere- mony was a solemn pontifical mass sung by the Most Rev. John M. auxiliary bishop of of St. Gabriel's Church here. Among other prominent church- men at the enthronement were the Most Rev. Joseph M. Corrigan, titular bishop-delegate of Bilta, the | rector of Catholic University; the Most Rev. Michael J. Keyes, bishop of Aeropolis; the Most Rev. Peter L. Ireton, co-adjutor bishop of Richmond; the Most Rev. Gerald P. O'Hara, bishop of Savannah- Atlanta; the Most Rev. Emmet M. Walsh, bishop of Charleston; the Most Rev. Edmond J. Fitzmaurice, bishop of Wilmington; the Right Rev Vincent Taylor, abbot of Bel- mont Abbey, N. C., and the Rev. Arthur O'Leary, president of George- town. . The ceremony marked the first time in which a member of the American hierarchy who is the head of one archdiocese becomes head of a8 new archdiocese over which he has jurisdiction equal to that which he has previously exercised. Congress (Continued From First Page.) vie our foreign neighbors at the close of this war to begin another The pending resolution, already passed by the House, would continue for three years the authority of the President and State Department to negotiate trade agreements. Twenty- iwo such agreements are in force, but unless the resolution passes, the authority to make additional ones will expire June 12. Long Debate Expected. A handful of non-committal members held the balance of power as the Senate began the debate. It was billed as Congress’ star show of the year, for President Roosevelt made the extension pro- posal one of his key recommenda-. tions, and Republicans said it would become a major campaign issue. “Doubtful” Senators.

Louisiana and Downey, Democrat, of California. The opposition is ¢precwd to urge a requirement that each agreement be ratified in the Senate. Senator Pittman, Democrat, of Nevada, who left administration ranks to sponsor the ratification proposal, said before the debate, “I think we’'ll win.” Says Agreements Are Treaties. Senator Pittman took the position that the trade agreements actually are treaties. If the President can effect them without Senate rati- fication, he declared, then he might as well be empowered to make peace treaties without consulting the Senate, Senator Pittman told reporters the Democrats should look beyond the November elections oefore’ re- newing the broad tariff-making au- thority of the Executive. They should remember, he said, that it was possible, that the coun- try might be “unfortunate enough to get a high-protection Repub- lican” in the White House who would reverse the present trend toward lower tariffs. He added that | a ‘“high-protectionist” Republican could increase tariffs 50 per cent without approval by Congress. Senator Walsh, Democrat, -of Massachusetts, wio contends Sen- ate ratification uf the agreements | would kill the program, said he was disturbed by the same thought, dlthough neither he nor Senator Pittman would agree there was more than a “bare possibility” that the Republicans would win in November. Senator Walsh said he thought that, on the whole, the effect of the 22 agreements made with other na- tions had been beneficial to the United States. Republican Leader McNary, whose minority group is virtually solid against the program, told reporters: “The vote at the moment is slightly in favor of the ratifica- tion amendment.” Republicans plan to defer their until the major Democratic addresses are out of the way. A number of Western Demo- cratic Senators have joined Sena- tor_Pittman in criticizing the bill. eanwhile, the House's biggest current probletn—amendments to the Wagner Labor Act—was being studied in committee rooms, with indications that some time might elapse before recommendations are complete. A joint committee probably will be appointed this week to reconcile differences between farm appropria- tion bills passed by the Senate and House. / [ ] Madrillon RESTAURANT Wash. Bldg., 15th & N. Y. Ave. Tuesday’s Special Luncheon will Allies Violating Neutrality by Sea And Air, Nazis Say Merchantmen Molested in Norwegian Waters, News Agency Declares By the Associated Press. BERLIN, March 25 —Official Ger- man allegations of allied violation of Netherlands territory in aerial reconnaissance and of British naval violation of Danish and Norwegian territorial waters shared attention today with a renewed declaration of Germany's determination to conquer. “The struggle will continue until Germany emerges victorious and Britain and France are prostrted,” Robert Ley, Nazi trade union - missioner, told soldiers and labor corps yesterday at a camp not far from the western front. Confident of Superiority. He declared Germany to be confident that her “superiority is beyond description” and said her enemies are becoming nervous and restless to the point of “behaving like hysterical women.” DNB, the official news agency, announced that the 2,189-ton Ger- man steamer Edmund Hugo Stinnes was attacked and sunk in Danish territorial waters by a British sub- marine, which opened gunfire be- fore the crew had time to take to the boats. The news agency cited three other cases in which, it said, British de- stroyers had “disregarded” Norwe- gian neutrality by “molesting” Ger- man merchantmen in Norwegian territorial waters. Through skillful maneuvering and the aid of Nor- wegian coastal patrols, the agency :lid. the German ships escaped cap- ure. Eight Violations Charged. From the high command came the charge yesterday that allied war- planes had violated Netherlands territory eight times Saturday night and early Sunday in connec- tion with scouting flights over Ger- many. (Netherlands patrols reported last night—after the German high command’s Sunday com- munique was issued—that several more foreign planes flew across the northeastern part of the country toward the southwest. (Earlier in the day lookouts reported several unidentified planes flew over northern prov- inces, toward the west, and that others, heading east, had passed low over Friesland province.) The high command said German anti-aircraft gunners brought down one invading British plane and that Germany’s own air forcef recon- noitered Eastern France despite unfavorable weather. Judge Does Bit To Give Fairfax Man New Chance LYNCHBURQ, Va., March As the first step toward giving Wil- liam Stinnette, 29, another chance, Municipal Judge Joseph P. McCar- ron ufidqy sentenced him to 30 days in jail. ‘The term equals the period Stin- nette has spent in jai! since his ar« rest last month for jailbreak that occurred in September, 1931. The sentence was marked on the court records as already served. However, Stinnette has one more hurdle to take before he can go back home to the Fairfax County woman he married under an assumed name while free, and their 6-year-old daughter. He must stand trial in Corporation Court next month for the automobile larceny charge which was pending against him when he left the jail. Commonwealth Attorney W. T. Spencer, jr., has indicated that he will not oppose leniency for the pen- itent prisoner when the old charge comes up. Dozens of Stinnette’s Fairfax County neighbors, who knew him as Jack Horton, have written to urge that the man be allowed to g0 home. Artists Will Compete For New Mural Jobs The Section of Fine Arts of the Federal Works Agency announced today that competitions will be staged for mural decorations in the Maritime Commission liner Presi- dent Andrew Jackson and in the New Social Security Building. In addition, there will be compe- tition for sculpture for the Social Security Building. For decorations on the new liner $6,940 will be paid to artists.

The President was reported by his physician, Rear Admiral Ross T. Mclntire, as having a normal temperature and showing consid- erable improvement. However, Dr. McIntire thought it prudent to keep the President in his quarters on the second floor of the White House rather than to expose him- self to the cold air on the outside, The. President’s engagement list included Matt Adams, representing the Young Democrats’ organization; Secretary of Interior Ickes and Le- land Olds of the Federal Power Commission, who was a luncheon guest. Late this afternoon the President will attend the tea at the White House to be given in honor of Dr. Rafael A.

Hollywood Zoo Park Closes After Struggle By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, 'March 25—Zoo Park, where cameras ground on the earliest wild animal pictures, is closed. “We just couldn't feed the animals any longer,” explained Secretary J. H. Vatcher. Behind his remark is a tale of two years of desperate struggle to keep interest alive. Damaged heavily in the 1938 flood, the Zoo never quite recovered. School children poured in pennies and nickels at benefits, but it wasn't enough. A severe blow was the death several months ago of Anna May, veteran film elephant and one of the chief attractions.
