PRICE FIVE CENTS Hoover Seeks Arms Reduction FRENCH REFUSE T0 ACCEPT PROPOSAL; TALK OF ULTIMATUM British Are Only Lukewarm as Message Is Offered at Geneva Meeting IS BRANDED INADEQUATE Simon Says England Wants Submarines Abolished; Russia in Agreement Geneva, June 22.—(P)—President Hoover's proposal for drastic cuts in the world’s armaments brought defi- nite refusal of acceptance from the French Wednesday and only luke- ‘warm approval from the British. After the plan for reducing arms by approximately one-third had been Presented at a special meeting of the world disarmament conference, th: French delegates asserted it was ab- solutely unacceptable and sounded to them too much like an ultimatum. Sir John Simon, speaking for the British, said the plan would receive careful consideration but that agree- ment was not to be achieved by any one-sided statement. Hoover's proposal for further reduc- tion of naval arms is iradequate im some respects, he said, particularly those which concern submarines. “I say boldly for the delegation of the United Kingdom,” he said, “that. we want more disarmament than ap- pears here. We want submarines abolished.” Maxim Litvinoff, for Russia, ap- proved the American plan althoug) he said it did not go so far as his government would wish. Offers Counter Plan Meanwhile France presented a set of sweeping proposals in regard to civil and military aviation which in- cluded: 1. Prohibition of chemical, incen- diary and bacterilological warfare from the air. 2. Prohibition of aerial bombard- ment, except over a field of battle, over air bases and over bonafide ar- tillery emplacements. 3. Fixing of a maximum tonnage per unit for military airplanes, and fixing of a limit on the number of machines over the stipulated tonnage deemed essential for defensive pur- poses, machines in the latter classi- fication to be placed at the disposal of the League of Nations. 4. Continental nationalization of commercial and transport aviation. 5. Fixing of similar bases of max- imum tonnage per unit for non-inter- nationalized civil airplanes, corre- sponding to the measures concerning the private manufacture of and trade in arms. NOT ACCEPTABLE SAYS FRENCH WAR MINISTER Lausanne, Switzerland, June 22.— (?)—President Hoover's proposal for drastic cuts in.the world’s armaments is absolutely unacceptable to France, Joseph Paul-Boncour, French minis- ter for war, said Wednesday. “This is absolutely unacceptable,” he said. “France again will raise the question of security.” SEE REPARATIONS PAGT AT LAUSANNE French and British in Near Ac- cord as Result of New Gallic Policy Lausanne, Switzerland, June 22.— (®)—The prospect of a Franco-British accord on the question of reparations rose over the conference of European powers Wednesday and warmed what had been a virtual stalemate into new activity. The new hope sprung last night when Premier Edouard Herriot of France informed Prime Minister Mac- Donald of Great Britain that France was ready to adopt a new policy, dif- fering widely from her previous at- titude. and including the virtual scrapping of the Young plan. The new French plan has three main points. It calls for: 1. Suspension of German repara- tions payments for one, two or more years. . 2. Continuation of Germany's de- lveries in kind. 3. A suggestion that, at the end of the suspension period, France would ask that a final global sum be fixed, spread among the United States and countries receiving reparations pay- ments. ‘The new proposal had developed so far that the Prench and Belgian rep- resentatives even begun a discussion of how much this final sum ought to be. The British delegation indicated the proposals met with some degree of favor with it and intimated the ~~ new French policy might result in a accord. Franco-British Herriot’s suggestions, as communi- cated to MacDonald, also asked for the reconstruction of Germany and central Europe, with restoration of A ts. debts due the United States, however, a French spokesman said, would be economically ruined.

Brews in Germany Berlin, June 22—(?)—The Com- munist newspaper Rote Fahne said Wednesday Adolf Hitler's National Socialist Legions were ordered to re- port armed to their headquarters within 24 hours. Meanwhile the new German cabinet faced an appar- ently inevitable showdown between Hitler and the state governments of the Reich. Blood flowed Tuesday night throughout Germany as the Nazis, Communists and police fought it out in many cities with guns and blud- geons. One Nazi was shot and killed in Berlin and a young Nazi opponent was stabbed to death in Essen. Dozens were gravely injured in the series of riots. In Oppeln one Nazi was reported dying as a result of a Communist attack. - The cabinet Wednesday struggled with the problem of keeping the peace between Hitler's irate demand that his legions be permitted to wear their uniforms, in spite of the police of the states, and the insistence of the state governments that the constitution of down all movements threatening.

Smith issued a stir- | ring call for repeal of prohibition and revision of the Volstead act and then chatted ‘informally with newsmen. “Who is going to be nominee?” Smith was asked. “The convention will decide,” he said. “Who is your preference?” “Alfred E. Smith.” Asking about his part in the “stop Roosevelt” movement, Smith said: “There is nothing to that. I’m combatting a stop-Smith move- ment that commenced one year and a half ago.” “Why do you oppose Roosevelt?” he was asked. “I want myself nominated,” the former governor answered, a his reasons for his break with Frank- lin D. Roosevelt, the man who nom- inated him at Houston in 1928. And then, it might be only a call for the party to act boldly and deci- sively, preparatory to an onslaught on the Republicans, or it might urge perhaps, support for Jouett Shouse as permanent chairman of the con- vention. 3 Incidentally, the scrap over the permanent chairmanship is scheduled as the convention's first head-on col- lision between the opposing groups It may decide whether Governor Roosevelt will be the nominee or only the man who almost got the nomina- tion.

A. will campaign this week-end in the 48th legislative district for the recall of Senator W. E. Jones, it was an- nounced Wednesday. This surprising - development, one of the most spectacular in the cur- rent political campaign. is the out- growth of differences which arose be- tween the two men at the last ses- sion of the legislature over the bill to reapportion the state into congres- sional districts. Bonzer was strong for reapportion- ment and asserts that Jones also favored such action until he was! called on the telephone by Governor George F. Shafer, 15 minutes before the vote, and told that all of the gov- ernor’s “hopes of going to the senate” depended on defeat of the bill. Jones then voted against the bill despite the fact that many citizens in his district had asked him to support it and signed petitions asking that hej do so. ‘Neither Fish Nor Flesh’ “As a member of the state senate Jones is neither fish, flesh nor fowl,” Bonzer said in a statement received here Wednesday. “He represents neither the people of his district nor anyone else except the politicians who befuddled his during the last session that he hard- knew what he was doing. My ob- lection to him ‘is that he deliberately w down the people of his district | to serve the selfish political interests of an individual.” In the vote on the reapportionment bill, on which Bonzer asserts Jones doublecrossed him, the count was 25 to 24.

CONGRESS EXPECTS 10 BE IN SESSION | UNTIL NEXT WEEK Senate Not Expected to Finish| Relief Bill so as to Ad- journ Saturday Washington, leress now expects to remain in ses- sion until the middle of next week, cratic national convention which opens in Chicago Monday. The expectation is based on the senate’s deliberate slowing up in its jconsideration of the highly controv- lersial unemployment relief bill, now the only major trouble spot on the congressional program. An agree- ment for a final vote Wednesday on | the bill was sought, but even this was ‘generally believed to be coming too jlate for adjournment by Saturday.

Backs Nonpartisan Bonzer’s opposition to Jones crea- tes the unusual situation in which an I, V. A. son travels to the op- posite end of the state in support of a Nonpartisan. The Nonpartisan candidate for the state senate from the 48th district is Frank J. Regeth, Manning. Non- partisan candidates for the house are Nels P. Jensen, Hazen; J. W. Bailey, Dunn Center; Jones’ record on a few outstanding {bills at the last session have been} |listed by state campaign headquar-j jters of the Nonpartisan League to be used in the recall campaign. The Nonpartisan document says Jones voted for bills which would change the primary election date from the last of June to the last of May, pro- viding for increases in the number of signatures on initiative and refer- endum petitions, raising the gas tax to four cents, and the I. V. A. state hail insurance measure. He voted against bills calling for division of the state into two congressional dis- tricts, repealing the deficiency judg- ment clause in foreclosures; provid- ing for teaching of cooperative mar- keting in schools and the resolution ia the Frazier farm relief It also is asserted that, on July 1, 1931, Jones was placed on the payroll of the state land department at a salary of $125 per month.

Hanna of Fargo, former governor, appealed to a Fargo audience Tuesday night to support all four of the initiated measures proposed by the state as- sociation to lower taxes. “This situation is critical, fam more serious than a great many people of our state realize, as is evidenced by the opposition which has been set up against some of these measures by the educators,” said Lamb. “Already hundreds of homes, in fact thousands, have been sacrificed to high costs of government in this state.

Capital Stirred to Fever Pitch by Dry Law Battle Borah Accuses Secretary! Brown of Preferring Sa- loon to Present Law { Washington, June 22.—(P)—A swift Succession of startling developments around the prohibition question Wed- nesday kept the capital stirred to; fever pitch. Hardly had political Washington | calmed down from Speaker Garner's unexpected declaration for repeal of jthe 18th amendment Tuesday, when Senator Borah of Idaho told the sen- ate that Postmaster General Brown,! close political adviser to the presi- dent, had said he preferred return of the saloon to present conditions and ithat he expected to see it return. Up to Wednesday morning this} statement had gone unchallenged by Brown. 1 It was Borah’s second spectacular | Prohibition declaration in as many| days and was the direct outcome of his speech to the senate Monday condemning and rejecting the Repub- lican platform and all its planks, par- | ticularly the resubmission one. In| that speech he said Brown and Sec- | retary Mills were for repeal. | Both denied it. Brown's statement | of denial revealed a private conver- sation he and E. A. Van Valkenburg, of Philadelphia, had with Borah in which, he said, both opposed naked repeal. | This stirred Borah to give his ver- sion of the meeting. “I said in that conversation that I; had been for months undertaking to! devise a plan by which you could pro- tect the states which wanted to be dry, and secondly, by which you could prevent the return of the Americar: | saloon. That is precisely what J! stated to Mr. Brown. “I said that I had made progress, with reference to the question of pro-| tecting the states which wanted to be dry, but that I had reached the con- clusion that once you legalized the sale of intoxicating liquors in the) United States, there was no possible way to prevent return of the Amer- ican saloon. That is practically word for word what I said. “Mr. Brown replied: ‘I think you are right. Once we legalize the sale of intoxicating liquors. I do not see how you are going to control the method of selling them.’ He said: ‘I expect to see the return of the saloon and I would ather have it than the pres- ent condition of affairs.’” | As for Mills’ denial that he was for} repeal, Borah quoted a letter written! by the cabinet member in 1926. In| this Borah said Mills held the eight- eenth amendment an “object of scorn { and contempt” and “a festering sore ‘on the body politic.” | Louisianans Search Swamps for Bandits’ | Monroe, La., June 22.—(#)—Two | bank bandits were hunted through the Bayou swamps southwest of here ‘Wednesday after a running gun bat- tle in which a deputy sheriff was kill-! ed, four possemen were wounded and @ young woman companion of the) robbers was shot down and captured.

OUTLINES PROPOSAL 10 REDUCE BURDEN CARRIED BY WORLD Scheme is Based on Five Broad Principles Stated in Declaration WOULD CURTAIL OFFENSE Says Best Method of Aiding De- fense is to Discard Weap- ons of Attack Washington, June 22.—()—Presi- Gent Hoover, in a sudden announces ment at the white house Wednesday, Proposed principles for reducing the arms of the entire world by nearly one-third. With Secretary Stimson at his side, the president read to a small group of newspapermen, hurriedly assembled at the executive mansion, a statement saying “the time has come when we should cut through the brush,” and adopt arms reductions calculated to Save between $10,000,000,000 and $15,- 000,000,000 during the next 10 years. Five broad principles were laid down by the chief executive and upon this foundation he proposed among other things: Abolition of all tanks, chemical warfare and large mobile guns. Reduction of one-third in the \strength of all land armies over and above “the so-called police compon- ent.” The abolition of all bombing planes, and the “total prohibition of all bom- bardment from the air.” Reduction in the treaty number and tonnage of all battleships by one third. Reduction in the treaty tonnage of aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroy- ers by one-fourth and or submarines by one-third with no nation. having more than 35,000 tons of submersibles. Approved By Aides Simultancously with the president's Pronunciamento it was learned in authoritative quarters that the pro- posals suggested already had been ap- proved fully by Secretaries Stimson, Hurley and Adams, by the chief of staff of the army and the chief of naval operations, and by the entire American delegation at Geneva. Hoover's broad and drastic plan was Placed. before the Geneva conference Wednesday, almost simultaneous with his reading of it to a group of hardly a dozen newspaper carrespondents asscmbled in his private office. The principles enunciated by the chief executive for slicing the world’s armaments by 33 per cent were read by him as follows: “First, the Kellogg-Briand pact. to which we are all signatories, can only mean that the nations of the world have agreed that they will use their arms solely for defense. “Second: This reduction should be carried out not only by broad general cuts in armaments but by increasing the comparative power of defense through decreases in the power of attack, “Third: The armaments of the world have grown up in general mu- tual relation to each other. And. speaking generally, such relativity should be preserved in making re- ductions. “Fourth: The reductions must be real and positive. They must first effect economic relief. “Fifth: There are three problems to deal with—land forces, air forces, and naval forces. They are all inter- connected. No other part of the pro- posals which I make can be disasse- ciated one from the other.” The president paused significantly after enunciating this part of his statement, and then added: “Based on these principles, I pro- pose that the arms of the world (Continued on page three) Pioneer of Motor Industry Succumbs Cleveland, June 22—(#)—One of the most famous men of the automo- ; tive industry, Alexander Winton, Sr., who was generally known as the first commercial manufacturer of an auto- mobile, died at his home here Tues- day night at the age of 72. He had been ill two weeks. Long before the world ever dreamed of the part automobiles were to play in modern life, Winton was building cars in a little Cleveland factory and his first automobile was on the streets of this city as early as 1895. ° Winton accumulated a large for- tune in succeeding years, much of which he spent in wide and successful experiments for improvements. Fo- many years, his Cleveland factory manufactured automobiles, but sus- pended this business in 1924. Although several other inventors made and operated automobiles before Winton, he was generally known as the first to manufacture them for sale. Federal Officials to.
