Britain - Offers 3-Paint Program By United Press LONDON, June 3.—Great Britain submitted to France, Germany and

Italy a three-point plan today, designed to restore friendly relations

in dealing with the Spanish situation and to induce Germany and Italy to return to the nonintervention committee. The plan provides guarantees against further interference with nonintervention patrol ships, on which Italy and Germany insist. : It would be ~chieved by the following means: 3 1. Safety zones in Spanish ‘harbors frequented by nonintervention patrol ships. ; 2. Guarantees from both Spanish factions to prevent molestation of warships. : 3. Immediate consultation among the naval commanders of all four patrol fleets (British, French, Italian and German) in event of future attacks on patrol vessels. The other three Governments are studying the plan and have not yet replied. With Britain acting as ‘“mediator-in-chief”—although the Foreign Office is maintaining close contact with the French Government—it is hoped the international patrol system can be restored to its former basis. 7 Distinctive markings/ for patrol vessels and co-ordinated control over the entire system were suggested.’
