a TOTAL TONNAGES 0F|200-Inch ‘Eye’ for World’s WORLD'S NAVIES ON CONFERENCE. AGENDA Delegates Request Japanese to Make Detated Statement of Their Demands (Copyright, 1935, Associated Press) London, Dec. 10.—An authoritative source disclosed Tuesday that the in- ternational naval conference has de- vided to plunge immediately into the question of total tonnages of the world’s greatest, navies) ‘It was learned after the adjourn- ment of the first session that the delegates requested the Japanese make a detailed statement of their demands for total tonnages and pre- sent this statement at Wednesday’s meeting of the other powers — the United States, Great Britain, France and Italy, * At the initial meeting the Japanese pressed for the immediate consider- ation of their demands for a decision concerning the total tonnages of nav- fes maintained by the great nations. The Japanese insistence conformed with .their announced attitude of seeking a decision on the total sizes of navies befor: the possibility of any decision sing secondary limita- tion questions. Strong opposition by Japan and France was to make aboli- tion of the submarine impossible, but every imlication was that a separate agreement outlawing unrestricted submarine warfare would be one of the first concrete accomplishments of the conference. A favorable reception came from all quarters except the Japanese to the American proposal for a 20 per cent reduction in navies.

The Management, CORPORATION READY Largest Telescope Ready| (FINANCE CHAIN OF By Howard Blakeslee Corning, N. ¥., Dec. 10.—(?)—The 200-inch wide “eye” for the world’s largest telescope, ‘a blue and pale tan piece of glass the size and shi ofa circus ring, was removed Sunday from the oven where it has been cooling for @ year and a day at the Corning Glass Works and was officially pro- nounced a success. The face was unexpectedly rough, with hollows and holes some as much as three inches deep, The roughness was due to the roof of the oven com- ing in contact with the cooling glass. ‘The floods of last July, which forced shutting off the electric heat in the big disc oven for about 48 hours, were said to have beén a probable con- tributing factor. The pits, it was revealed Sunday, were discovered more than a month ago, when the great disc was covol enough to permit glass makers and telescope makers to crawl inside the oven for inspection. There followed a few anxious days. ‘The question was whether the holes RELIEF FROM COLD WAVE IS FORECAST Jamestown Records 25 Below Zero; Roads Open Except in Forks Area North Dakotans were favored with @ forecast of rising temperatures Tuesday following a cold wave which ‘sent the mercury far below zero in many areas Monday night.

Other minus recordings were 18 at Minot, Fargo 16, Bismarck 12, Wil- liston 6. The highest point reached was 27 above at Valley City. Except in the: Grand Forks dis- trict, highways throughout the stat were open Tuesday, officials of th state highway department reported. Snow plows were working on the main highways of the Grand Forks area. Blocked roads were highways No, 17, from Grafton east, 33 from Manvel west; 15 from Thompson west to the junction at highway 18. High- way No. 7 and No. 32 six miles north of Finley were heavy. Precipitation, in the form of snow, totaled .02-inch at Grand Forks and Fargo, .0l-inch at Devils Lake and a trace at Jamestown. There are approximately 4000 in the face were deeper than the amount of glass which it was in- tended to grind off in transforming the great disc into a parabaloid or saucer shaped mirror. It was decided that the holes were not too deep. The astronomers in charge accepted the disc and ordered it shipped to Pasadena, Calif., as soon as possible.

Without these cores the glass would weigh 40 tons. With them its final weight will be about 20 tons. Then it will be Mayville Contracts Let for $57,000 Job Mayville, N.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1935 NYE SEBS NO PERIL TO WESTERN SAFETY IN JAPAN'S DEMAND Sympathetic to Island Empire's Conception of Adequate National Defense Honolulu, Dec. 10.—(?)—Little hope for success of the London naval con- ference was expressed Monday by Senator Gerald P. Nye, North Dakota Republican, in declaring he saw “no threat” to western security in Japan's demands. Supporting flat reduction of naval tonnage, Senator Nye said he gave Japan “as much credit for sincerity in demanding their conception of na- tional sea defense as I give American advocates for protective sea strength.” “Japan will not tolerate the old 5- 5-3 ratio any more than the United States would if another power told us we were not so great or were not entitled to as much naval strength,” said Senator Nye, here from a trip to Japan and the Philippines. “I see no threat to our sincerity or security of any other western power in Japan’s demand for naval strength comparable to ours.” Approximately 2,500,000 Britons are affected by deafness, Of this num- ber 40,000 are totally deaf. ——————— SPORTWEAR Makes a very good Xmas gift.

He said in his annual report that $201,240,177.67 was spent for such work in the fiscal year ended last June, providing direct employment for 75,000 persons and indirect em- ployment for an estimated 200,000 more. ‘The report said 280 “economically justifiable’ flood control projects, estimated to cost $597,000,000, have been selected as eligible for inclusion in the work relief program and that the war department was prepared to submit applications for the funds. The projects were not named. Dern reported construction of a nine-foot barge channel from the mouth of Mississippi river to St. Paul and Minneapolis, approximately 50 per cent completed. An allotment of $25,000,000 from relief funds provides for construction of five additional locks and four additional dams, leav- ing one lock and 10 dams to be un- dertaken. An allotment of $10,000,000 practic- ally will complete the channel to Omaha, Neb., in the eight to nine foot channel project on the Missouri river from its mouth to Sioux City, Towa. “Remarkable progress” was report- ed on the Fort Peck dam, which now is 50 per cent completed. Expendi- tures to Aug. 1, 1935, were placed at more than $33,000,000.
