[TALY AND FRANCE HELD NEAR AMITY Friendliness Is Believed to Augur Well for Ending " Quarrels. By the Associated Press. PARIS, June 25.—International politi- eal circles today gave greatest impor- tance to indications that Ttaly and Prance are getting together again after months of obscurity and apprehensions over their mutual relations. The necessity of Europe avoiding all quarrelsome political discussions and uniting to find a settlement of pressing economic problems is felt here. to have influenced the situation. It was iearned that there has come & distinct note of friendliness into Ttalo-Franco relations which is inter- preted here as auguring well for even- tual settlement of various diffieult ques- tions. These begin with the big problem of naval parity left over from the Lon- don Naval Conference and continue with the status of Italian residents in Tunis and rectification of the frontier of_Libys. 4 It was said today that Premier Mus- solini’s recent assurance that care would be taken to prevent anti-French mani- festations such as that of the students of Bari had cleared the air and made it more possible for Franee to accept the Italian suggestion that direct nego- tiations on outstanding problems be soon reopened. BROTHER DEFENDS MUSSOLINL French Plans for War Are Charged by Milan Editor. MILAN, Italy, June 25 (#)—Arnaldo ‘Mussolini, brother of Il Duce, today in Popolo D'Italia, his newspaper, declares that Premier Mussolini had knowledge of France's military preparations when he made his speeches in May to the Fascist forces in Tuscany and Lom- bardy. ‘The speeches, therefore; were justi- fled, the article says, adding that they ‘were “opportune.” “We now can understand why, al- though the Duce never talked of foreign peoples and governments, but alluded solely to men, parties and Sects, the Speaks on Philippines SENATOR PHILIPPINE ISSUE 1S FORUM SUBJECT {Senator Bingham to Broad- cast Opposition to Inde- pendence Proposal. BINGHAM ‘The positign of those who oppose the bill now x&nng in the Senate on the subject of Philippine independence will be outlined to a Nation-wide radio au- dience by Senator Hiram Bingham, Re- publican, of Connecticut, speaking at 9:30 o'clock Thursday night in the Na- tional Radio Forum, arranged by The Washington Star and broadcast over the coast-to-coast network of the Co- lumbia Broadcasting System. The pro- gram will be broadcast in Washington through Station WMAL. Senator Bingham is chairman of the Senate committee on Territories and insular affairs and is one of the mem- bers of that committee who joined in filing a dissenting report on the pend- ing bill, partially on the ground that the Filipinos are not yet prepared for ediate or early independence and that to grant it at this time would be doing them an injury rather than a speeches created such a great impres- sion in France. “It was because in France alone live, prosper and organize the men, parties, groups and sects which regard sym- pathetically the eventuality of war sgainst Fascist Italy,” the article as- serts. “Parliamentary discussions of France on the subject,” the editor goes on, *“and replies to inquiries were full of Teticence on the part of the responsible elr.fenu to show the face and spirit ©f democracy. “Now nobody in the world can have the colossal impudence of believing that the gigantic programs of French | ipo armaments were in consequence of ‘Mussolini’s speeches in Leghorn, Flor- ence and Milan. “Today we know that those arma- ments already had been predisposed and financed early in 1929. They were prepared with meticulous care on every sector of the front without despising the small satellite state, with clear, de- fined aims.” ‘The article concludes that Italy ought not to let herself be overtaken by events, that Fascist Italy is of its duties to itself and has faith in the vigilant active wisdom of Pre- Mussolini.

VETERANS’ BILL SENT HOOVER FOR ACTION AFTER G. 0. P, CAUCUS (Continued From Pirst Page.) so-called Rankin bill, though pretend- ing to be a compensation measure for injuries received in the service, in fact a liberal sion bill for a com- paratively small class of disabled vet- erans who, because they are unable to show that their disability grew out of the service, are by the proposed law presumed to have been disabled by rea- son of their service, To presume that disability arising 11 years after the war is over is traceable to war service, is in 'most instances a palpable falsehood on the face of it. B “The proposed substitute bill is sim- ply the beginning at a somewhat ear- lier date to take care of the disabled World War veterans on the same basis that the veterans of other wars have been taken care of. The proposed sub- stitute bill takes care of every World War veteran who has had as much at 25 per cent disability, regardless of the origin of the disability.” Rankin Attacks Hoover. Representative Rankin, author of the bill now sent to the President, vig- orously attacked the action of the Re- publican caucus. in his statement that “the attempt to browbeat the Re- pubncan members of the House into voting to sustain his veto of the veter- ans’ relief bill on the flimsy pretext that some denatured measure will be brought forward to try to save the face of the administration without giving relief to the veterans, is one of the most high-handed attempts to interfere with the prerogative of Congress ever undertaken by any Chief Executive of this Nation. Mussolini should take no- tice. If the Republican leadership succeeds in bjldjpe members of the House togetner whom they are sup- posed to have bound last night into a ‘coyenant of death,’ the Italian dicta- tor will look like a back number.” Outlined Program Made Public. The conference at which the Repub- licans drew up their plans last night was attended by Speaker Longworth, Majority Leader Tilson, Chairman Snell of the rules committee and Chairman Johnson of the World War veterans’ committee. A statement was issued sum- ming up the program to be followed. It called for: Concurrence today in the Senate's amendments to the Johnson bill; Benate and House conference agree to meet again on November 15 for & study of the fiscal relations problem to de- cide what the Federal contribution should be for the fiscal year 1932. Linked with this proposition, Chair- man Simmons suggested that the Sen- ate and House conference should se- cufe from the Bureau of Efficiency and from the District assessor whatever in- formation was desired in connection with the proposed study of fiscal rela- tions. Senators Laugh at Proposal. The Senate conferees declined this proposal, but consented to accept the plan for a study of the fiscal problem, rovided that the House would agree & increasing the Federal contribution for the coming fiscal year from $9,000,- 000 to $10,000,000. The conference closed without any decision as to a future meeting, but leaving the way open for either the chairman of the House delegation or the chairman of the Senate group to eall another conference.

Johnson estimated it would cost from | $35,000.000 to $50,000,000 during the next fiscal year, as compared with! $102,000,000 estimated as the eostl under the pending measure. The out- lay under the latter was the source of | one of Mr. Hoover's principal objections | as he said it threatened a deficit and an increased tax rate. It was estimated, also, that the Swick bill would affect approximately 1,000,000 veterans, as compared wit 400,000 under the Johnson bill. President had termed the latter tory and unfair, saying it would not reach all the veterans entitled to relief.

By the Associated Press. VATICAN CITY, June 25.—Reports still persisted today that Pope Pius is indisposed, despite a denial by author- ized officials that hé is suffering from & uremic crisis. It was learned that several Roman doctors have been consulted recently concerning the pontiff's aggravated bladder trouble and that the possibility of an operation has been discussed.

Oth- erwise his firmness of step and reso- nance of voice was remarked by every one. Among those inclined to take the Vatican denial as “diplomatic” in char- acter, destined to quell apprehensions, it was stated that yesterday's audiences ended suddenly at 6 pm., an unusually early hour, and no explanations for the sudden ending were given. Normally, the Pope receives right up to 9 pm. when he dines. ‘The semi-official Vatican commu- nique, which is issued daily, today de- voted almost its entire length to de- scribing how active and vigorous the Pope has been for the last few days. It contains no denial that the pontiff is suffering from latent or aggravated bladder trouble and no formal admission that Roman doctors were consulted and an operation envisaged. Instead it contrasts to reports of the tifl's atate of health the asser- ffi'?. that “Pius XT not only has changed nothing in his habitual regime of a life extraordinarily intense and full of oc- cupations,” but “in this last period has notably multiplied his activity.”. It then cites various ceremonies he has attended and the speeches he has pronounced as proof of his unimpaired vigor.

In fact, I|@¥ombon see no justification for it whatsoever. The statement in the preamble that purchases of these bonds by investors who are citizens of the United States, Sesult T the thiermingiing of Fepara. resul e of repara- tion payments with war mfl, is based, evidently, on a complete misconception of the situation. “The settlements effected by the United States Government with its debtors are entirely independent of the settlement effeced by Germany with its debtors. United States Govern- ment is not & party to the Young plan. Neither in the t has it been, nor will it in the future be responsible for the collection or distribution of repara- tions payments. The pure an American citizen or an American of a reparation bond cannot alter in any way our situation or policy in this respect. It is not apparent to me how the sale of a &mfln of this particular bond issue in the American market can affect our debt settlement licy any more than when a portion the Ger- man external loan of 1924 was floated in this market. “I am definitely of the opinion that for the reasons above stated there is no occasion for the adoption of this resolution and that it would be against public policy to do so. “I may add for the sake of accuracy that I know of no provision providing for the annual sale of German repara- tion bonds in the United States.” i i Prance is studying plans to aid He shipbullding industry, ™ L e INLINGLE'S INCOME Chicago Crime Probers Seek Source of Slain Reporter’s Finances. B the Associated P . CHICAGO, June 25—The motive for * Jake Lingle’s murder was sought lodl( in a study of his finances. His close friend, William Russell, for« mer police commissioner, was questioned yesterday at the Stat What he told the investigators was not revealed, but it was understood he was asked if he knew: ‘What were the bank deposits of the Tribune reporter? ‘What was the source of his income aside from his modest salary as a news- paper man? hat were his transactions with stock brokers? In whose name did he write checks and why? Facts Sought for Jury. The nature of the questioning w taken as an indication that the finan of the slain reporter, who was friend alike of police chiefs and gang leaders, would be placed before the grand jury which is to investigate the murder. ‘The former police commissioner, whose resignation resulted from public indignation touched off by the Lingle assassination, is expected to be one of the first jury witnesses. The State's attorney has indicated he wants Russell to tell the jurors what, if any, special Dl‘nlflensl ‘were accorded Lingle by the police. In an address before the City Club yesterday, Donald R. Richberg, attor« ney, sought to point an “Interlocking relationship between public utility een- trol and corruption of government and the political protection of crime.” He spoke of Samuel Ettleson, eity corpora- tion counsel, as “Mr, Insull's political lawyer” (Samuel Insull, public utilities magnate) and,added that Ettleson “is th::llt ;p:;.wr o_{_h the city govern- ment, ayor Thompson only figurehead.” % Big Income Reporied. “Newspapers have reported in detall an enormous income obtained by Linm * gle from unknown sources—perhaps & natural result of being ‘unofficial chief, of police’ and a friend of gangsters plundering the town,” Richl said in his address. “And now we read that a man named Forsythe (James “Red" Forsythe) is accused of the Lingle mure der; and it is also reported that the last time this man was arrested in & gangster hangout he was released when it was found that he was working in Eitleson’s office in the City Hall."” » ‘The hunt for Forsythe, 50 far as ine formation from the headquarters” reveals, far without success. ‘WHITEWASH special ‘‘crime has been thus ) CHARGED. Cries Greet Chicago Council Decision on Police Probe. CHICAGO, June 25 ().—Amid pro- testing cries of “Whitewash,” the city council committee on police abandoned yesterday its widely heralded investi- gation of the Police Department, For the moment at least its policy will be “hands off” while John H. Al- cock, acting commissioner of police, re= builds and runs his force unfettered by politics and unhampered by an inquiry. In the heated debate that preceded the shelving of the investigation Alder man Arthur F. Algert had accused the: subcommittee of ¥ whitewashing the police, asserting that he has “no confi- dence in the State's attorney,” and Chief Justice Harry Olson of the Muni» cipal Court had urged commitment of gangsters to insane asylums. White Judge Olson spoke two mno= torlous gangsters were in Criminal Court, one—Anthony “Red” Kissane— recelving a year's sentence in Cook County jail and $300 fine for carrying a concealed weapon, and the other, Jack McGurn, facing a jury with sar- donic while his' attorneys tried to save him from a similar fate. ‘That the police will be let alone in their search for the killer of Alfred “Jake” Lingle, Tribune reporter, was evident, too, in the statement of John A.

INDIA STAYS HOSTILE TO SIMON PROPOSALS Recommendation for Giving Vote to Women Apparently Is Only One Favored. By the Associated Pres LONDON, June 25.—All Indian dis- patches continued today to report a violently hostile reception of the rec- ommendations of the Simon commis- sion. Native circles continued to be, agitated, espécially in Bombay and Cal- cutta, although many sections of country were not heard from, ‘There was no present expectation of considerable native opinion favor- the report, or even tolerant toward any of its provisions save, per< haps, the proposals for enfranchisement of women. ‘The Simla Herald holds the opinion that a crisis is at hand, and can be averted only by the viceroy or the home government making a bold declaration that the London round-table confer- ence would strike out on its own lines and make recommendations consistent with the vicgroy’s November declaration respecting a dominion status.
