Tokyo Calmly Waits for Protests; Spot 700 miles From Philippines.

TOKYO, Feb. 10 (U. P.). — The Government calmly awaited protests from France and Great Britain today over the seizure by Japanese soldiers and sailors of the strategic Chinese island of Hainan, rommanding the east coast of French Indo-China and vital British trade routes between Hongkong and Singapore. ; In defiance of warnings from boih Great Britain and France, Japanese soldiers and sailors landed on the “island at dawn, met little resistance from Chinese troops, and were reported to have occupied Hoihow, . port and chief city of the island. Hainan is only 700 miles from the Philippinés and in some quarters the seizure was regarded as having the additional effect of counteracting United States proposals for fortifying Guam. "A naval spokesman said the seizur: had two objectives: (1) Strengthening the blockade against Chinese munitions; (2) Speeding the end of China’s resistance so that Japanese relations with other nations can be improved. Fortifying Not Mentioned

_ No mention was made of plans for fortifying the island, which neutral diplomats agreed would be a job of years, but the seizure alone was one of the most important international developments since the undeclared Sino-Japanese war began. Hainan is 160 miles long, 90 miles wide. It has a million and had| been Chinese since ~ 111 B. C. It. is| 200 miles off the French Indo-China Coast, 250 miles southwest of Hongkong, and separates the Gulf of Tonkin from the South China a. Its capture extends the chain of Japanese-con-trolled islands: along the Asiatic Coast 600 miles to the southwest. The French

Ambassador warned Japan last year that occupation of Hainan would be considered a “serious matter” by his Government. Great Britain supported the French declaration. It was regarded as certain that protests would be forthcoming from both Governments immediately but Imperial headquarters here did not wait for them, to state its position.

Called ‘Necessity’

The Japanese apparently believed France and Britain were so in- | ‘volved in Europe that they will not carry out their threat to cause “undesirable complications” = over - Hainan. A Japanese Naval Apokesman said the Government was anxious to dispel any misunderstanding abroad. He said the occupation was a military necessity. Troops had landed on the northern section of the is_land, he said, and were occupyping bases from where munitions had been transported to China in junks. He said many pirates had been using the island as a base for munitions traffic, enabling Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to prolong Chinese resistance. By seizing the island, he said, Japan would end the resistance and its constant threat of third power complications in the Far East. -

PUBLIC TO GF DEFENSE DATA

Senate Committee Votes Compromise on Future Military Testimony.

* WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (U. P.). —The Senate Military Affairs Committee today decided to make public all details, except military secrets, of future private sessions. The Committee, after heated discussion, failed to act on all the

proposals before it for revelation of secret testimony concerning President Roosevelt’s defense program. Action upon a motion by Senator Clark (D. Mo.) to make public past testimony, especially that concerning U. S. aid to a French mission in the purchase of American fighting planes, was postponed until Monday. The motion which was approved was a compromise, decided upon

after a test vote showed the com-

mittee equally divided, 8 to 8, upon a motion by Senator Austin (R. Vt.) to open all future committee hearings to the public. The tie vote lost the motion.

. Oral Statements Planned

Committee members then agreed to continue secret executive sessions on the defense program but authorized the chairman, Senator Sheppard (D. Tex.) and members of the committee to give oral statements of the testimony after each session. In addition the committee agreed to publication of the stenographic record of future hearings after deletions of testimony. concerning military secrets. “The effect of this is to satisfy the public that there is no real secrecy,” Senator Austin said. Senator Austin said the vote on his motion for public hearings was as follows: For: Senators Lewis (D. Ill), Thomas (D. Utah), Nye, (R. N. D.), Bridges (R. N. H.), Gurmey (R. S.

naval maneuvers at about the same time.

Frontier, Devastation Left Behind.

PERPIGNAN, Feb. 10: (U. P). — Generalissimo Franco completed the conquest of Catalonia today; and prepared to throw the full ‘Rebel military strength against Loyalist lines in South Central Spain. Driven from the last corner of Catalonia as Rebel soldiers swept to the frontier at Port Bou, Loyalist Premier Juan Negrin flew from French soil to the Mediterranean Coast of Spain to confer with Gen. Jose Miaja and other Loyalist leaders on their next move. Madrid reported Dr. Negrin and Foreign Minister Julio Alvarez del Vayo went first to Alicantes and then Valencia. : Dr, Negrin and Gen. Miaja were represented as desiring to carry on the long civil war in the hope that developments in Europe would yet save their cause, but there was powerful pressure from every side— including France and Britain — to end the conflict, which has become virtually hopeless for the Loyalists. Frontier advices indicated that a final decision on surrender or continued resistance could not long be delayed. So Franco’s Troops Rest

At Barcelona, Rebel sources disclosed that Gen. Franco had withdrawn certain divisions from the Catalan mopup campaign and ordered they be given a period of rest in preparation for an advance on the south—indicating an attack on Valencia probably would precede any attempt to capture Madrid.

At Marseilles, the British cruiser Devonshire arrived with 450 Loyalist refugees from the strategic island of Minorca, which the Rebels captured yesterday after British officials charged they had broken a promise by twice bombarding the island and endangering the Devonshire, which was struck by bomb splinters.

At Port Bou, Rebel troops planted their red and gold banner on the French Mediterranean coast frontier after Loyalist forces retreating into France had blown up huge ammunition supplies and destroyed many buildings and tunnels.

Advance Completed

At Puigcerda, on the ‘French frontier, the rebels completed their advance to the bolder by running up their flag at the Spanish end of the international bridge at 2:45

p. m. Dispatches from Barcelona said that Gen. Franco had plenty of arms and munitions ready for an offensive against the south central zone but that the problem of caring for the parts of Loyalist Spain taken over by Rebels ‘was great. It was pointed out that the fall of Madrid would add to the food problem and probably would necessitate importation of large supplies of grain antd.meat from the Americas.

Hopes for Peace Reported Rising

LONDON, Feb. 10 (U. P.).—Hopes for peace in Spain rose again today with continued consultations between the British and French governments on possible peace plans. Although Gen. Franco continues to insist on unconditional surrender and Premier Negrin maintains his three conditions for peace, the British and French were beginning to feel that a “formula” will be found to end the war,

Economic Freedom Looked On as Key to Hemisphere Defense Unity.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Behind the visit here of Brazil's distinguished 45-year-old Foreign Minister, Dr. Oswaldo Aranha, is a situation

importance. to these two countries but which ‘bears indirectly on the

whole problem of Western Hemissphere defense. Dr. Aranha’s plans to begin his discussions with a call on Secretary of State Hull today were canceled because of Mr. Hull's illness. Instead, Undersecretary Sumner Welles went to the Brazilian embassy to see Dr. Arahha. ; Brazil, like other Latin American countries and the world in general, is overhauling her, Army, Navy and Air Force. She also is in the market for machinery, tools, utensils, iron and steel manufactures, automobiles, trucks, electrical equipment, and so on. The question is, who is going to supply her? Who is going to help with rearmament? Who is going to provide the goods which she habitually purchases abroad? There is no longer any question of “lending” or leasing American destroyers. That project was dropped long ago, but other problems are still yery much in the foreground and-ton-siderable importance is attached to the answers.

Nazi Competition Strong

Germany, for example, would very much like to sell arms of almost all categories to Brazil and take coffee, cotton and other raw materials in exchange. In fact, Germany would like to continue, and to extend, the barter business by means of which

she ousted the United States from first place among Brazil's suppliers.

business with Brazil and the rest of Latin America, it must find a sane solution to Nazi competition. It must find a way to provide those countries with what they need on terms they are in a position to meet. Credit and exchange will have to be studied. And so on. These are believed to be some of the problems President Roosevelt had in mind when, last month, he invited President Vargas of Brazil to send Foreign Minister Aranha to Washington as the guest of this Government, Senor Aranha arrived

yesterday. : But there is far more than trade mixed up in all this. If Germany, for example, can monopolize Brazil's raw materials long enough for

Brazil to become dependent on the

'|German market, it would be only a

short step from the economic conbro) thus secured to political conrol, It is highly important to Brazil and to the American republics therefore, to maintain their full economic freedom. For that is the very first principle of national and hemisphere defense.

Hull Denies Any Political Aspirations

Secretary of State Hull today had informed the Butler Collegian that he has “no political aspirations at all, either present or prospective.” Secretary Hulls. statement came in a letter to William Mitchell, editor of the Butler University daily student newspaper - which on Jan. 17 launched a “Hull for President” campaign. Copies of the paper containing stories and editorials on the campaign were forwarded to Secretary Hull, and he replied, thanking the paper for its stand but adding: : “I should be frank to say, however, that I have no personal political aspirations at all, either present or prospective. I am nevertheless appreciative of what you say.”

HOOSIERS FILE PLEA | FOR O’DEA FORTUNE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10 (U. P.) — Litigation over the five-million-dol-lar fortune left by Michael F. O'Dea, 90-year-old philanthropist who died Jan. 22, 1938, was complicated today by the filing of a new contest to proposed disposition of the estate under administration of Harriet P., O'Dea,

second cousin, and the Citizens National Trust & Savings nk. Three South Bend, Ind., residents, who alleged they are direct relatives of Mr. O'Dea, were parties to the new attack on Harriet O'Dea’s handling of the vast real estate and oil property. George O’Brien, who said he is a grandnephew, and Mrs. Ralph M. de Graff and Ella O'Dea, who said they were grandnieces, were the newest entrants into the complex contest over the fortune.

For about 10 minutes after 1:30 this morning the wind had a velocity of 30 miles an hour here, and for more than an hour there were strong winds. Of the 12-hour total rainfall here, .64 of an inch fell during the electrical and wind storm. The temperature went into a steady decline after the storm.

Cab Driver Describes Storm One all-night cab driver described the storm graphically: ; «It came all of a sudden. I turned a corner and the wind pushed the cab a foot sideways. The rain splashed on the windows, and ps stopped at a curb. Otherwise I'd

have been driving blind.” A large number of householders were awakened by the noise of the 30-mile-an-hour gale hurling rain at the windows, and into rooms. The rain shorted downtown burglar alarms and had police scurrying over the city on futile calls. All utilities reported nothing but minor damage done by the storm, TWA planes were grounded from yesterday noon through the night but expected to resume schedules. Eastern Airlines was not grounded.

11 Die as Blizzard Hits West, Midwest

By United Press Subzero weather brought death and suffering today as blizzards raked the Midwest and Far West. Meteorologists held little hope of relief for several days. Eleven persons lost their lives on

the west slope of the Rocky Moun-

tains. The worst general storm in years hit Utah, crippling transportation, isolating communities and. leaving at least four dead. Montana, the coldest state, reported one. death. Two men died in British Columbia. Three persons died in California and two visitors were caught in a blizzard on a Grand Canyon trail. One perished. Below zero temperatures extended from the Dakotas to Oklahoma. Light snow and ice covered highways and made travel hazardous. A frigid blast sweeping eastward from the Rockies replaced recent mild weather with the lowest temperatures in three years. The mercury fell as much as 30 degrees an hour as the storm fanned out into the Ohio Valley. Through Far Western states, temperatures ranged from 51 below in British Columbia to near freezing in southern Arizona. Snows cov-

America Should Keep Its Army Home, Optimist Club Is Told.

«A United States armament race on the theory of a-war ... here is a lot of hooey and it has a political atmosphere,” Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, U.S. Army retired, told the Opt I Club. “ut seems that the United States is planning to rush arms to England and France so they can go to war. Then the Democrats can say

war’ as a campaign slogan like in 1916 when Wilson was re-elected on that slogan. There is bound to be a war in Europe, sooner or later,” he declared. hors “The United States should keep its Army and Navy at home. There never will be a necessity for the United States going into a war abroad. - Asking for more armaments than those covered in the original Army and Navy budgets last year indicates to me that someone
