ONUNION PROPOSAL Briand’s Federation of Eu- rope Aim Meets Varied Reception. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December - 13.—"Euro- pean Federal Union” is the subject of $he December issue of the international conciliation document just published by the Carnegle Endowment for Interna- tional Peace. It contains the replies of 26 govern- ments to Aristide Briand’s memoran- dum of May 17, 1930, calling for a BEu- Topean Federal Union. In the preface to ‘the publication, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, the endowment's president, said: “M. Briand’s memorandum deals with & subject of such epoch-making impor- tance, we should make available to students and research students the re- plies from the governments to which the memorandum was addressed.” Spain Makes Reply. The Spanish government gave its re- ply on June 25, 1930. In substance it was that “Although it realizes the se- rious nature of the obstacles to be over- come, it still regards the scheme as full of pramise for the future.” The reply from the Netherlands gov- emnment was dated five days later, on June 30. It contained a series of re- flections on the present European sit- uation, concluding: “In general, the government thinks that the ground is not yet sufficiently prepared; exchanges of views will be useful, and, in fact, seem essential, to decide how further progress is to be made.” On July 4, 1930, the Pinnish govern- ment informed M. Briand that in gen- eral it warmly welcomed the general idea. The Italian government on July 4 stated its willingness “to co-operate @s they have done in the case of all the initiatives aiming at the work of peace and at the material and moral reconstruction of Europe.” It was added that general reductions of arma- ments was a necessary prelimianry. War Factor Is Listed. Austria’s ‘opinion is “that a decisive step toward the rational development and organization of the economic forces of Europe cannot be made untii all pos- sibility of war between the European countries has been removed.” ‘The Estonian government in its re- ply on July 8 declared that the French memorandum contains “suggestions of undeniable value.” The Rumanian government on July 8 answered that it agreed with the principles laid down in the memo- randum, and that it would co-operate to the full in realizing the plan for a European federal union. The Polish government greets with “lively satisfaction this welcome step. Poland, which, at the tenth assembly, unreservedly supported M.

The Federation of Citizens' Associa- tions last night withdrew its support to the movemént for extension of the life of the old Center Market, and went on record as opposing at this time the use of public funds to establish a new central retail market. Action was based on the recommenda- tions of a special committee, headed by Edwin 8. Hege, appointed to investi- gate the advisability of establishing a new market to replace Center Market when it is demolished to make way for the Federal Government's bullding pro- gram in the Pennsylvania avenue-Mall triangle. Hege reported tha® after an ex- haustive investigation, the committee learned that there are 244 vacant stalls in five other retail markets in scattered sections of Washington, which will ac- commodate the 170 tenants now in Center Market. These 170 tenants, he said, will be inconvenienced by the closing of the market, but it is “a happy circumstance” that Washington has an assortment of other markets where they can relocate. Report States Views. The special report, which the federa- tion adopted after but little debate, recommended that: “The feceration refrain from seeking & second postponement of the closing of Center Market, lest a desire to re- lieve temporarily 170 stall holders from the inconvenience of moving lead to delaying projects that are ealculated to give work to hundreds or perhaps thousands of persons in need thereof. “The federation withhold support at this time from any legislation to pro- vide out of public funds a central re- tail market for the following reasons: “l. The need appears to be well met by existing public and private markets. “2. Three years would probably elapse before a replacement project for Center Market could be acquired and opened for business. “3. To interrupt for three years, or even one-half that time, the service now being rendered at Center Market would probably jeopardize the replacement of the market. Might Add Tax Burden. “4. The budget estimates for the 1932 fiscal year indicate that the surplus in the Treasury to the credit of the Dis- trict of Columbia will likely be reduced to & point where & new center market, owned by the pepple, would have to be financed by an increase in the tax rate. As 5 cents' increase produces about $600,000, and as three or four times that sum would be required for a new cen- ter market, the size of such a burden to the taxpayers is large.” The bill recently sent to Co by ngress the District Commissioners abolishing | 281 the office of the director of traffic and glving them a broad grant of authority in the regulation of traffic was indorsed. A committee consisting of Mr. Hege and Thomas Gammell was appointed to represent the federation at the congres- slonal hearings on the measure. The federation approved a series of reports of Willlam McK. Clayton, chairman of its Public Utilities Commit- tee, and acting on a resolution which iginated in the Brightwood Citizens’ Association, reaffirmed its stand in favor of a half Saturday holiday for District government employes. The resolution calls upon the ners to ask the corporation for a 'l'ullnf as t.h& Saturday half holiday law is being vidlated and whether they are violating their oaths of office by not enforeing it. Takes Up Street Cars. As a result of approval of the recommendations of Public Utilities Committee, the federation will call to the attention of the Public Utilities ission the “lack of ventiliation and uncleanly conditis of certain street cars and busses” and also ask | the commission for information show- ing the rate of return of the Chesa- peake & Potomac Telephone Co. for the years 1925 to 1930, inclusive. The federation also approved the bill pro- viding & half fare for school children, and authorized its utllities committee to make application to the commission for the sale of two street car tokens for 15 cents. Four tokens costing 30 cents is the minimum number now soid on the car lines. After considerable discussion, the federation voted to notify Richmond B. Keech, people's counsel, of all actions | he taken with respect to public utilities matters. It also voted to on highways, parks and waterways, the federation went on record as ing the removal of trees from the center of New York avenue between Ninth and velopment of center parking on Blad- ensburg road from L street to the pro- Jected line of New York avenue and the paving of the center portion of the i‘,u.d from that point to the Distriet ne.

By the Associated Press. Opposition to the confirmation of | Frank R. McNinch of North Carolina to the Power Commission was voiced yes- terday by Senator Robinson of Arkan- sas, the Democratic leader. The Interstate Commerce Committee will vote tomorrow on the five nominees selected by President Hoover for the reorganized commission and the issue then will be up to the Senate. Robinson indicated it was his mother and by an aunt, Miss Edith Trapler of the Kew Gardens Apart- ments, 2700 Q street, Georgetown. ie2| BURNS TO DEATH IN CELL ) Massachusetts Prisoner Believed to Have Concealed Match., FRAMINGHAM, Mass., December 13 | P).—A prisoner burned to death to- | ‘police arrested ux, 23, dly burned Firemen put cut the cel expressed the bellef Despeaux had match on his person. tion that the appointment of umm who voted for President Hoover in 1928, ! violates the spirit of the law requiring that not more than three of the five members shall be from the same party.

Rejection of the World Court by the Senate was predicted in a radio speech by Senator Dill, Democrat, of Wash- ington, last night, in which he said the likelihood of war would be heightened rather than lessened if the United States became a Court member. “There are at least 25 Senators now opposed to adherence the Court under the Root formula,” Senator Dill sald in an address over a National Co. chain. “At least 12 or 15 more Senators are in doubt af to the wisdom of surrendering _the Swanson fifth reservation for the Root substitute.” Cites Coolidge Annotncement. Senator Dill said the Court was con- trolled by the League of Nations, and when the Jatter refused to accept the Senate’s fifth reservation that the Court render no advisory opinions against the wishes of the United States, former President Coolidge announced he would not ask the Senate to modify its posi- tion. The question of immigration and the question of cancellation of war debts were cited by Senator Dill in his decla- ration that the provisions of the fifth reservation should be maintained. Do Not Intend Filibuster. “We who are opposed to the Presi- dent’s proposal do not intend to try to prevent a vote by filibustering,” he said, “but we do intend to insist upon full consideration of the proposed surrender of the power to protect American rights. ‘We expect and believe the Senate Committes on Foreign Relations will hold full hearings, not only by hearing Secretary Stimson and Mr. Root, but also by hearing noted jurists and public men who understand the real effect the Root formula will have.

Dak., December 13. —VYlelding to importunities of his mother and & minister, Charles Bran- non, 22-year-old farmer, confessed to- | day, his attorney said, that he slew an entire family of six last Febroary after & quarrel starting over farm chores. Bannon’s alleged admissions to his attorney, A. J. Knox, came after two days of almost continual questioning by authorities investigating the disap- pearance of the Albert E. Haven family from their farm here and the insistance of his mother, the attorney and a minister that he “tell the truth.” Tells Story of Slayings. Bannon, according to Knox, declared he shot Daniel Haven, quarrel over chores about the barn on the Haven farm; killed Leland, 16, in another quarrel, and then shot Mr. and Mrs. Haven when they came to the barn to investigate the absence of their sons. A 3-year-old child was the next victim, and finally a 3-month-old girl was clubbed to death with a rifle butt. State’s Atwme{. J. 8. Taylor and other officials pilanned to obtain a signed statement from Bannon tonight and later to file charges of first-degree urder against the youth whose story revealed one of the most brutal crimes |in the State's history. Meanwhile ofs ficials were checking Bannon's latest e story said Bannon buried the bodies in the barn on the Haven farm, but later exhumed those of Mrs. Haven nd the 3-year-old child when decom- made their presence noticeable. rs. Haven's body, he said, was hauled to & cave on his mother’s farm nearby, where searchers found parts of it late today. Bodies of the elder Haven, his two sons and the infant were recovered ‘Thursday, but only parts of the 3-year- old child’s body was found.

Arrested on & cl of fllegally dis- ?ocln‘ of property from the Haven arm, Bannon made conflicting state- ments and changed his story repeatedly, but was firm in declaring he knew noth! of the family’s whereabouts. Later, rever, he declared Mrs. Haven had slain the family in a fit of insanity and that he had helped bury their bodies. Although young Bannon, in his al- leged confession, declared he alone was responsible for the slayings, authorities maintained their search for the father of the youth who disappeared six weeks ago and who is believed to be some- where on the Pacific Coast. 500 EXPECTED TO ATTEND RESERVE OFFICERS’ BALL With more than 150 reservations al- ready made, plans progressed last night for the annual New Year eve party of the Reserve Officers’ Association, to be held in the Raleigh Hotel.

And there are others who pay for apples they do not take. Some Of the venders report that gratuities onelx; exceed profit from the sale of the apples. + By conservative estimate, there are upward of 300 men and youths en- gaged in the sale of “unemployed ap- ples” on the streets of Washington. Few, if any of them, have vending licenses, and a large percentage of them are not chartered from the ranks of the jobless District residents. This lat- ter lon they call “floaters’ ight of road who drift from city to city, hitoh-hiking and rod-riding; vagabond idlers who seize upon the apple-selling idea as & means of “ expenses’ on their tours, and o Jobless who have been virtually forced out of other cities by sheer competition in the “un- employed apple” profession. Traced to “Depression.” In the main, however, the vender and, comcidentally enough, certainly his commodity, can be traced directly back to the “depression” that has un- dermined business confidence the coun- try over and left its telling mark on industry and trade. A slack season, damming the mar- keting channels of the fruit growers, caused an abundance of produce to mount high behind the flood gates of subnormalcy, and the unemployment situation, accredited with eminating from this same source—depression— med to be the key with which to re- the locks.
