LONDON, March 14.—The Naval Conference still is afioat, after many days and nights of tempestuous weather, but that literally is the most that can be said of it at this hour. A more encouraging situation exists foday regarding the possibilities of a three-power agreement. Japan Amer- fca and Great Britain now are so elose together that hardly anything|S! savoring of difference is left. This means positively that they will seal a tripartite treaty at London, come what may. Nothing but the formal assent of suthorities in Tokio is required to make this possible and no anxiety is felt that this will be withheld.

C Government Owes Borah $12,500 on Idaho Senator Never Has Collected Annual In- crease Due Him, By the Associated Press. It was disclosed today that Senator Borah of Idaho never has drawn the increase of $2,500 a year in salary au- thorized for members of Congress five years ago. This came to light today during dis- cussion of whether a law prohibiting members of Congress from holding an office for which they have voted an increase in salary would make the Idahoan inelegible for appointment to the Supreme Court bench as successor to the late Edward T. Sanford. Borah has voted against all recent salary increase bills and is certain, as are his friends, that he voted against the measure increasing Supreme Court salaries. He, however, does not recall the vote and there was no recorded bal- lot on the bill. “But there are other reasons than that why I am ineligible,” the Idahoan said today. He only smiled when asked to amplify. As a result of refusing to accept the congressional salary increase from $7,500 to $10,000 a year, Borah has $12,500 to his credit in the Treasury. He may draw it any time, but if he does not it will stay there. There have been previous cases of members refus- Ing to accept increases, one being Henry t. ‘Tucker of Virginia, now a crease for one year, saying elected to an office paying $7,500 and had ne right to vote himself a higher salary. He insisted at the time the bill was that the increase should not go into effect until after the next congressional election.

Huston, chairman of the Republican national committee, became involved in a heated exchange with Senator Blaine of the lobby committee today over the question of Huston’s ob- taining records of the Tennessee River Improvement Association which com- mittee members had asked for. Huston lost the calm that has char- acterized his appearance before the committee after Blaine had intimated that he might object to a statement that t said he wished he had offered to obtain files from J. W. Worthington, who is executive sec- retary of the Tennessee River Improve- ment Association, and asked permission when he had done that to place in the record a statement explaining any of the data. Blaine replied that it was not cus- 'mmlry to permit witnesses to place statements in the record unless they were subjected to questioning concern- ing the statements. “We haven't asked you to do it!" Blaine asserted. ‘It is your duty to ve those records produced.” “All right, then, I won't do it,"” Hus- ton retorted, explaining that whether it was his duty was a matter of opinion.

Snowden Flays Opposition. Philip Snowden, chancellor of the exchequer, laid a large part of the blame for unemployment directly at the door of the opposition and declared that there was a deliberate conspiracy to discredit the government, an example of which was to be found in almost daily circulation of stories about fac- tory closings. He said that there would be no further applications of safeguarding and that existing duties would expire at the appointed day.

McLeod Speaks on Bill. Representative Clarence McLeod was the first to speak in support of his bill which he said would bring about better conditions in the District by compelling the reckless and insolvent motorist to protect the public against his own negli- gence. In regard to the Commissioners’ objections which were that a motorist should not have to be responsible for the safe operation of all cars that he owned and that debts arising from unsat- isfled judgments should not be settled by law, Mr. McLeod characterized them as “ndiculous.” He pointed out to the committee that all corporations employ- ing a number of truck drivers, necessa- rily carry insurance for their own pro- tection as do private owners with cars driven by others than themselves. George W. Offutt, a director of the American Automobile Association, and a member of the advisory board of the District of Columbia division, sketched the history of the bill. Calling atten- tion to the fact that the proposed measure affects none but the insolvent and reckless and “judgment proof” mo- torist, Mr. Offutt said: “The American Automobile Association could not indorse compulsory insurance in force in Massachusetts because of the fact that it penalized at the outset the great majority of careful law-abiding drivers and because the insurance rates became a political matter. The A. A. A. sought to draft a bill which would not contain these objections and in this measure we think we have suc- ceeded. There are four major points; an operator’s permit law for every State in the Union, a showing of finan- cial responsibility by any motorist con- victed of a l‘nl]or :'t“m:n v)l:hm with suspension of permit unf it, & compulsory satisfaction of judg- ments, within certain limits, for motor car accidents with suspension of until the judgment is satisfied and financial security for the future is shown; and reciprocal relations be- tween the States in regard to operators coming under the terms of the measure. It can readily be seen that this measure penalizes onzf'.he reckless and insolvent and un it innocent victims of motor car accidents may be compensated. Noyes Tells of Bill's Purpose. since its introduction, :le\:rem:)tm a year ago, 12 States have adopted the principle of the bill, either completely or in part. Mr. Noyes stressed the point that penalties ur;der the measure would be supplemental to any penalties for reckless driving meted out by trafc authorities, and that it was designed solely to protect innocent victims of motorist recklessness. ‘Telegrams from Rol A. FPearon, New.York State senator, and Robbins Stoeckel, commissioner of motor vehicles of Connecticut, enthusiastically indors- ing the bill, which is in effect in both States, and urging its adoption in the District, were read to the committee by the witness, who asserted that Massa- chusetts, the “father” of compulsory insurance, was even now studying the measure with a possibility of switching to it, and that the Royal Canadian in a lengthy report had adoption for Ontario. Col. Grant characterized the bill as the “minimum” that could be enacted for the "Axlmt-wpmm-ummwtol the evil of the insolvent and reckless motor car driver I wholeheartedly in- dorse the bill,” said the director of public buildings and Sllbllc . Another hearing be held on Pri- day morning, at which its will present their views with rebuttal testi- mony on the part of those who testified today.

Hines | Says in Forum Talk. Declaring that already the Veterans’ Bureau had spent more than $5,000,- 000,000 in discharging the Nation's obligation to its soldiers, Director Frank T. Hines of the United States Veterans’ Bureau last night predicted that under present laws this cost by 1940 would total approximately $11,000,000,000, in an address in the National Radio Forum. Gen. Hines continued that in & little more than another decade this figure would probably equal the original cost of the World War to the United States up to April, 1919, which was $21,850,000,000. “I give you this figure,” sald Gen. Hines, speaking over the forum. arranged by The Star and 'E‘pmuored by the Columbia Broadcasting System, “only to show what is involved, as only approximately one-fourth of the vet- erans who served have thus far filed claims for benefits.” Any future change in policy, de- clared Gen.

The refunds announced today were for the tax years of 1918, 1919 and 1920. Secretary Mellon said that as a result, the Steel Corporation’s suit against the Government for a tax re- fund of $130,000,000 would be 3 as would the Government counter- tion for claim against corpora $77,000,000 of additional tax payments.

Hawley said the refund probably would be formally executed not later than tomorrow and would either be paid to the eom?my in cash or in the form of a credit on its taxes for other years. Suit to Be Dropped. Secretary Mellon, in confirming the announcement, said arrangements had been approved whereby the Steel Cor- poration’s law suit against the Govern- ment for the recovery of approximately $130,000,000 as a tax refund for the years in question will be , as will be the Government’s counter-claim ngumt the corporation for $77,000,000 of additional payment.

MOTION TO DISMISS LOST BY COMMISSION Case Will Be Decided on Its Merits in District Supreme Tribunal. Efforts of the street railway com- panies to get a temporary 10-cent fare pending final action by the District Su- preme Court on their suits for a higher fare were blocked today by Justice Al- fred A. Wheat. In a lengthy opinion, Justice Wheat denied the motion of the car companies for a preliminary injunction to compel the Public Utilities Commission to ox- der a 10-cent fare until the court ter- minates consideration of the rate case, and, at the same time, denied the mo- tion of the commission to dismiss the suits. His action leaves the car fare case in status quo until the court de- cides the merits of the claims of the companies for a fare increase. e car companies turned to the courts for financial relief after the Utilities Commission flatly rejected their application for a 10-cent cash fare or 4 tokens for 30 cents. Aside from the suits asking for a fare increase on the ground of confiscation, the com; filed an injunction to have the higher fare put into effect pending action on e cases.
