Portugal Fears
Anarchy Might
Tend To Spread ANOTHER
Asks for Assurance From Great Britain
London, Aug. 10. While the Portuguese Government has agreed in principle to the proposed agreement of non-intervention in Spain, it is understood that before Portugal can whole-heartedly support the plan she requires satisfaction on three points by Britain and France.
The first of these concerns the necessity of Russia also participating in the agreement;
The second, respect for the international zone in Tangier by both sides in the Spanish civil war;
And the third is the more intimate matter of Portugal's own security.
Portugal wants reassurance concerning the security of the present regime at Lisbon, believing that anarchy in Spain constitutes a menace to it.
Portugal is apparently anxious to know to what extent she can rely for support upon Great Britain and her France in the event of a possible threat to territorial integrity.
It is pointed out that reaffirma- | Portugal.

Carrying Munitions
Madrid, Aug. 10. The War Ministry has announced that troops have captured a German Junkers plane, carrying military armaments, and a crew of four, at a point sixty miles north of Seville.

Further, loyalists are reported to have seized four more Junkera planes which were waiting to evacuate Ger- man refugees at Barajaz aerodrome.
The Gernian Embassy makes na comment, except that it emphatically denies that any Germans were occupy- ing the seized planes. The interrup tion of the Lufthansa service is due, it is stated, to "local reasons" and it is hoped the service will be resumed shortly.United Press.
