WASHINGTON. April 10 —-(A_P) » President Roosevelt, lil srveeping orders today, blocked German con- fiscation of Danish and Norwegian wealth in the United States and banned American ships from the new tvar zone.

In an unprecedented executive order, he prohibited, except under special licellce from the treasury, the removal of any money or other wealth from the country belonging to the Government or citizens of Denmark and Norway.

By this step he removed any doubt about tile attitude of the [Inited States Government toward a repetition of the steps by which Germany seized all the gold and other international assets available when she occupied Austria, Czecho- slovakia and Poland.

Large Scale Raid 0n Orkneys Fails T0 In- fli-ct Damage.

LONDON. AlDfll tl-(Tlhursday) —(OPJ—'Ilhe Royal Air Fierce, fighting fierce air battles at home and over l. far-flung “air fmnt" in Scandinavia, was disclosed to- day to have driven offamajor Nazi raid on Scspa Flow, downing six Hchikel bombers.

Three others were believed so boldly disabled that it was consid- cred doubtful they would reach their base.

While the Air Ministry, like the Admiralty, was reluctant to give details of the air warfare that complemented the great sea battle still raging in tthe north, a. state- ment revealed that two R. A. F. fighters fired a refueling tank oci a Norwegian airdrome, destroyed a German bomber and badly damag- ed two others.

On their return fligrht to their base, the air ministry said, they mngageci still another Nazi bomb- ’ cr which “is unlikely to ‘have
