FRANCO-RUSSIAN SPLITMAY BE NEAR New Cabinet to Be Question- ed in Chamber About Re- sults of Moscow Trial. BY CAMILLE LEMERCIER. By Radio to The Star. PARIS, France, December 9.—A rup- ture of diplomatic relations between France and the Soviet Union may be a consequence of the Moscow sabotage trial. French public opinion considers the whole trial as a sinister farce and thinks that the Soviet government de- liberately brought against the Prench government and the general staff what are described as “insane accusations.” The fact that the sentences against the alleged plctters have been com- muted by the Soviet government and that none will be executed is held here as decisive evidence that all the alleged “revelations” made by the accused en- gineers were dictated by the Soviet's attorney general, Nikolai Krylenko. - lssue Faces New Cabinet. infon here is that the whole trial hl?pm staged in order to lain to the Russians the failure of five- year plan and to place on foreign pow- ers the responsibility for the shortage of food.

People Will Not Be Misled. Describing these congressional activ- ities as playing politics at the expense of human misery and without regard for the taxpayers’ money, President Hoover expressed the feeling that the American people will not be misled by such tactics. He stated that these ralds upon the treasury are being made under the guise of relief for the unem- | ployment situation. added also that many of these ' measures are being promoted by out- side organizations and agencies and are being forced upon members of Congress.

OF DESIRES Asserts World Can Look For- ward to Stabilization as Result of Work. HOLDS PUBLIC MUST BE AROUSED TO CAUSE Soviet Minister Objects to Citing of Russia as Menace to Security. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, December 9.—Hugh 8. Gibson, American delegate to the pre- paratory disarmament conference, today told the final session that the Disarm- ament Commission’s work embodied in the draft convention falls far short of expectations. The draft convention, he said, lacks several things which the American dele- gation hoped it would contain, but the world at least can look forward to sta- bilization of armaments as a result of the commission’s work. If anything more than stabilization is achieved at the forthcoming general conference it will be because the gov- ernments have made progress in the meantime, said Mr. Gibson. If real disarmament is to be accom- rlllhed at the general conference pub- lic opinion must be aroused to a greater interest than is now manifest, he as- serted. It is necessary to inform public oplmun‘qlo that its reaction may be in- tel M. Lunachansky, Russian representa- tive today voiced displeasure that Poland and other neighbors of Soviet Russia had singled that country out as & pos- sible menace to their security. In an address b:fore the commission, the Soviet minister protested inclusion in the commission’s report of para- graphs which record the determination of land, Esthonia, Finland, Latvia and Rumania not to be bound by a dis- armament convention if Russia declines to b: a party to it. He demanded elimi- nation from the report of all reference to this attitude by Russia’s neighbors. The commission, however, adopted, by a 16-to-1 vote, a compromise formula which recorded reservations by the neighbor groups without naming Rus- sia directly. Hugh Gibson, the Ameri- cn_delegate, supported this compromise. Beas wilingness o eave.

The State Department made public the text of today's address to the Pre- paratory Commission on Disarmament at Geneva by Ambassador Gibson, as follows, in part: “For four years we have been en- deavoring to reach an agreement. There have been long and direct conflicts of opinion; views have been maintained with vigor and yet our friendship with | 3¢ those who have differed from us has grown as steadily and as surely as our friendship v.m: t:wu who have shared “We have now completed a draft convention which, after study by the governments, will go forward to the eral conference.

Milestone in Progress. “It fails to contain many factors in which we have always believed and which in our opinion would lead to a real reduction of armaments, the set- ting up of a machinery to receive and disseminate information on armaments, to educate public opinion and to pre- pare systematically for the work of fu- ture conferences, as successive mile- stones in the continuing process of dis- armament., “If these things can be achieved by the coming conference, and from pres- ent indications I think we are justi- fied in assuming that they can be achieved, we shall have a situation ob- viously better than we have at present, and, while we cannot claim to have built’ the edifice, we shall have at least laid the foundation upon which the edifice can be erected. * * * “I feel that we should be renderin~ & poor service to the cause of reducti ¥ of armaments if we were to lead our peoples to believe that this work car- ;led ';he. movement further than it loes. .

Resenting the action of William Green, president of the American Fed- | eration of Labor, in opposing William | N. Doak for Secretary of Labor because he is not affillated with the federation, the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers, oldest railroad labor organiza- tion in the United States, today spoke out in condemnation of Green’s stand. The President of the United suml should “be left free in his choice w! select any bona fide labor man he sees fit to select,” whether he is a member of the Amercian Federation of Labor or not, it was declared today by G.

By the Associated Press. GARY, Ind., December 9.—Five youths today were indicted for first-degree murder by the grand jury that investi- gated the death on November 30 of 18-year-old Arlene Draves. Miss Draves was alleged to have been criminally attacked prior to her death. The Indiana law provides the death penalty for a person convicted of per- petrating a criminal attack that results in death. Those indicted were Virgil Kirkland, 20, former high school foot ball star; David Thompson, 22, in whose home a liquor party is alleged to have been held grlor to the girl's death; Leon Stanford, 1, former high school basket ball and foot ball star; Henry Shirk, 21, another former high school athlete, and Paul Barton, 21. The ind jury also recommended that Clarence and Guy Thompson, brothers, be held as material witnesses under bonds of $2,000 each. They are alleged to have supplied liquor for the party. The grand jury report was submitted to Judge Martin L. Smith. The case probably will not come to trial before the end of the year. . WILL ASK FOR INQUIRY INTO D. C. BREAD PRICES | Senator Capper Proposes Resolution of Inquiry, Which His Commit- tee Will Consider Thursday. A resolution to have the ttee investigate bread prices in Washington will be in- troduced in the Senate this afternoon by Senator Capper, Republican, Kansas. The chairman of the District Com- mittee said he would call his resolution attention of the committee Mrs. Hoover to Ask Renewal of Permit to Drive in District . Had Mrs. Hoover not been re- minded today that her permit to drive an automobile had expired during October, she might have gone through the experience of being arrested for driving without a permit It was purely an oversight on Mrs. Hoover's part that her per- mit was allowed to lapse, and arrangements will be made at once to have a renewal for an- other three years. While Mrs. Hoover does not expect to do any driving during the Winter, she prefers not to wait until Spring to attend to the matter of the permit renewal. Mrs. Hoover is an experienced driver and frequently drives her own car to distant points. , She generally does her own driving . when she goes to the President's | fishing camp on the Rapidan, un- less she is riding in the Presi- dent’s car, and she is a frequesnt motorist through Rock Creek Park and the environs of the Capltal City. SOCIALISTS OPPOSE TARDIEU IN CABINET Laval to Confer With Group of Political Leaders on Personnel of Body. By the Associated Press. PARIS, December 9.—Pierre Laval, premier designate, who is attempting the formation of a cabinet to succeed the Tardieu ministry, called on Presi- |dent Doumergue this morning and when he left the Elysees Palace sald |he int:nded to get in touch with a | number of political leacers. Asked | whether he was continuing his nego- | tiations, he answered merely, “Did you think otherwiss?” Reports were in circulation that many members of the Radical Soclalist party were vehemently opposed to any cabinet which would include Tardieu. The re- signed premier, they contended, had been overthrown by the radicals in the Senate and therefore he should not seek to enter the new cabinet. Last night Laval said he would form no cabinet without effective collabora- tion with “my friend Tardieu.” TARIFF BOARD GIVEN 0. K.

Virtually all of the questions which were fired by Chairman Mapes and Rep- Tesentative Frear of Wisconsin came during Murphy's discussion of statisti- cal tables relating to the per capits as- sessments and tax levies in Washing- ton in comparison with those in 14 other cities having & population com- parable to the District. Holds Basis Fair. Murphy defended the bureau's basis of determining these comparable per capita assessments and tax levies as fair to both the District and United States. The commiitee, nowever, gave the impression that it thought the bu- reau should not have viewed the Fed- eral Government in the nght of a mu- nicipal taxpayer in arrivmg at its data. Several times Representative Holaday of Illincis declared that what he wanted to know was the amount prop- erty owners in other cities actually had to ?:y in taxes. Chairman Mapes also declared that the situation becomes confused by assuming that the Federal Government is a taxpayer.. Murphy pointed out that the ad- Jjustment of the rate was based solely on the principle that the per capita as- sessed valuation of any one city should correspond to the average of the others. He also brought out that most of the cities used in the comparison are indus- trial centers, where corporations have extensive real and personal property holdings, which inevitably sweils the per capita base on the individual as well as the levy. Should Pay as Much. Chairman Mapes drew an admission from Mr. Murphy that he believed the people of the District should pay in taxes as much as the people in the 14 comparable cities without any reference to the Federal holding. “Of course, the Federal Government has exclusive jurisdiction over the Dis- trict,” Mr. Mapes sald. “Do you think the people who live here_should pay any more or less in (Continued on Page 2, Column 5.)

With the great majority of dry lead- ers opposed, Dr. Clarence True Wilson today reiterated his advocacy of a na- tional referendum on prohibition in his annual report to the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals. In the face of the opposition, Dr. Wil- son told the board, which represents 6,000,000 Methodists, that in his opin- fon, “the time has come to call the bluff of the wets.” Opposition Is “Unequivocal.” At a mass meeting last night, the | National Temperance Council, wmpoled[ of spokesmen for various dry groups, unanimously approved resolutions ex- ;pre.sstn( “unequivocal opposition” to “the submission of any part of this national constitutional policy to either a binding or non-binding referendum | which would tend, either directly or in- directly, to weaken or nullify the said prohibition amendment.” “There is no provision for a referen- dum under the Federal Constitution,” the council declared. “Having won the eighteenth amendment, there is no oc- casion for the dry forces to join in any | movement by referendum or other | process for its repeal.” The recommendations of Dr. Wilson will be considered tomorrow and the board will announce its action on his report. board gave its Explaining that the major emphasis tihs year to scientific studies and to educational methods for reaching young people in the church, Dr. Wilson said: “We have erected the column of leg- islation,” Dr. Wilson added, “but one column is only half of an arch—we must now builld up a great moral suasion educational cam; that wiil lead to the bringing of American mil- lions to total abstinence and iaw ob- servance.” Organizations Not Committed. The action of the National Tem ance Council in disapproving the refer- endum does not commit any member organization to opposition, it was pointed out, But it was empl that the sentiment of its members might be taken as a cross-section of the tem- perance movement's view. The legislative body for a large num- ber of dry groups—the conference of organizations supporting the eighteenth | amendment—will meet here tomorrow. | This group is com of two dele- | gates from each organization and these have authorily. Its Legislative Committee overwhelmingly disapproved the proposed referendum last Saturday and anhounced the subject would be offered at the conference for full dis- cussion. Dr. Wilson, commenting privately on the opposition voiced to the referen- dum, said "he did not think the dry leaders as a whole were prepared for such a move. He said that for the most part they were not wise enough to see the tragedy in such an action; to realize that it would put the wets on the defensive and pin them down eenth amendment on which the people might express themselves. the wets have never been able to do, Dr. Wilson said, and cannot now agree upon it. No Rift in Dry Movement. He emphasized, however, that there is no rift in the dry movement. All of the groups are agreed on the prin- ciple and the only difference of opin- lon is with respect to method, he said. Dr. Wilson also pledged the Methodist board to the support of Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas and his bill to make the buyer of intoxicating liquor equally © Pelration of ‘acivity was urged by leration of activity was Dr. Wilson in his report. “The year's work,” he said, “has been as difficult and critical as any year we have had. One cannot go over the United States and see the need of great leadership without being conscious that 1t is missing. “It is time, as those opposed to pro- hibition have gotten together in two major organizations — the {ation Against the Eighteenth Amendment and the Crusaders—that the friends that sustain the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act should be federated for united action in every State and in the National Capital.” “One embarrassment is that we are at the critical stage,” Dr. Wilson said, “When we were winning every batf we ran a mutual admiration soci. ety. Now each looks around to blame the other for lack of unity and victory.
