GENEVA, November 11.—Unalterable American opposition to any limitation of armaments through a method of bud- getary restriction was announced by Hugh S. Gibson, the Washington repre- sentative, at the session of the Prepara- tory Commission on Disarmament here today. Ambassador Gibson's announcement was made in the course of discussion of the budgetary method of limitation, which the British and Italian represent- atives said their governments favored, although not to the exclusion of more direct methods of limitation. ‘The American envoy declared that the American Government, after examining the question minutely recently, had found it could not change its attitude of opposition to the plan, and he asserted that the United States was not likely to sign any convention imposing this method, although not objecting to other 'nations limiting their expenditures. “We already practice a system of limitation by direct means, plus full pub- licity for expenditures,” Mr. Gibson sadd. “We believe this the most effective method . of limiting armaments, 1In short, we believe it easier to comceal the application of a dollar than to con- ceal the existence of a rifle.” Cecil Gives British Views.' Lord Cecil presented the British view- point on the subject, emphasizing the tremendous importance in British opin- ion, of a limit for war materials. Any future war, he forecast, will be fought by small armies with high technical equipment. It is not sufficient, he pointed out, to The world of the wartime allies gave the Armistice anniversary today its annual salute of silence. At Arlington National Cemetery, by the sepulcher of the symbolic slain; at the Cenotaph in London, with his majesty King George standing in uni- form among his subjects; at the Arc d'Triomphe in Paris, at the monument to the war desd in Lisbon and in the hall of the League of Nations at Ge- neva there was the reverent hush of homage.

RADIO SALES TALKS FOUND UNPOPULAR Survey Findings to Be Told Ad Men Tonight Are Bared in.Interview. The radio listener objects strenuously to advertising in his broadcast menu and unless his advertising is varnished subtly or made almost unrecognizable it is a total flop. This and a great many other things about radio advertising and radio pro- grams will be told members of the Association of National Advertisers, Inc., in convention here, at a radio dinner to be attended by convention delegates in the Wardman Park Hotel tonight by representatives of a survey group principaily financed by 47 mem- bers of the association, who are trying to pin down the returns from such advertising. In an interview this morning, John Karol, a New York representative of Crossley, Inc., revealed some of the first six months’ findings of the survey organization, the first intimation the National Advertisers have obtained of the potential and factual results of sponsored broadcast programs. Findings Are Anounced. One thing that has been found out, he said, is that the radio is listened to more by the middle and lower financial levels, those in the wealthier classes paying much less attentlon to the pro- grams. The hout between 9 and 10 o'clock at night is the most valuable one from the advertising standpoint, provided the program is an attractive one, but the rate for this hour is no more than for any other hour between 6 o'clock and midnight, hs declares.

Fifteen women fainted, and one of them is in a serious condition from shock at Casualty Hospital today, after a wave of hysteria swept the plant of the Home %Laundry, at 1101 Raum street northeast, when a colored helper got her hand caught in the rollers of an ironing machine. ‘When firemen of the rescue squad ar- rived in response to an emergency call scenes of the wildest confusion pre- vailed. Most of the some 100 women employes were in a hysterical condition, despite the efforts of shop foremen and company officials to quiet them. Emma Seltzer, 25 years old, a bundle wrapper, of Seat Pleasant, Md., was the most seriously affected. Firemen ad- ministered oxygen to her for 20 min- utes before she revived enough to be taken to Casualty Hospital in the squad’s auxiliary car. Two others were later taken to Casualty. Many Workers Faint. The colored helper, Alice Brooks, 30 years old, of 62 Defrees street, was feeding flatwork into a roller when her hand got caught shortly after 9 o'clock. Her screams attracted fellow workers, the machiery was stopped and was quickly extricated. Her hand, however, and part of her forearm had been pulled into the ma- chinery. As her screams were echoed from other parts of the plant, wild ex- citement ensued and many of the women fainted. The other helper taken to the hos- pital was Ethel Dawson, 25 years old, of 2126 Nichols avenue. Her condition, like that of the Brooks woman, was not regarded as serlous. The insensible women were laid out on improvised beds of packing boxes and trucks while groups of frantic fellow workers sought to revive them. Many Ambulances Called. Veteran firemen on first entering the bullding thought the women either had been overcome by gas or shocked by electricity. Of those who fainted about half were colored women.
