' Strength Compared Diplomats asserted the Jaime , carrying 12-inch> guns, ly would be able to strike a crushing blow against insurgent vessels operating in the bay, par- ticularly since the sinking by gov- ernment planes of the insurgents' heaviest warship, the Espana, . In addition, these sources point- ed out, the Jaime Primero would be in position to turn its big gun; on insurgent land forces at Bert meo, mear Bilbao, and afford pro- tection for ships evacuating non- combatants from the besieged capital. ie recent apparent inactivity of the government fleet was ex- sun-d as due to the fact that the fame Primero's big guns had only rarity been returned from Ma- dri When the siege of Madri-. start- ed last July, the heavy guns were dismounted and secretly. taken from the cruiser to the capital to shell insurgent lines. Secret Evacuation On w trict secrecy surrounded insurgent warships interfere, dip- Ion-J: reports indicated nine British freighters had left or would soon leave the Basque cap- ital with some 5,000 women and children.

The British battleship Royal Ork, four British destroyers, and a French sloop were at St. Jean de Luz, ready to guard refugee vessels once they have passed out- side the Spanish three-mile limit. British destroyer Faulknor «-which just escaped being hit by insurgent air bombs in Bilbao harbor Saturday-was to make the 70-mile run back to Bilbao to take out the staff of the British consulate, and the French destroy- Terrible made ready to remove the French consul and French citi- zens.

'Broad Policy\ Expected Administration leaders said Mr. Roosevelt has been considering the possibility of creating seven or eight areas to be developed along lines of the Tennessee Valley authority's operations in the Ten- nessee River basin. There were intimations the presidential communication would outline a broad federal power policy and recommend creation of some central governmental agency to co-ordinate regional activities and regulate rates. Some congressmen said the president might endorse in effect a bill, which Senator Norris (Ind., Neb.) is preparing, to set up eight \little TVA's\ throughout the country.
