ARMS PARLEY SNAG 1S MET IN FIGHT ON CUSTONS UNIN Project Is Seen as Reply to Alleged Four-Power Deal Isolating Germany. BRITISH OFFER TO GIVE U.S.LEADERSHIP DECLINED Present Situation Held Discqurur‘ ing, but Lot of Time Remains i for Compromises. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Star. PARIS, France, April 11.—The Austro- German customs union project has ap- parently already had a marked effect on the political and technical prepara- tions which were. beginning for the great gencral disarmament conference scheduled for next February. | It is sald in some quarters that this is precisely what Germany sought. In| connection with the Franco-Italian | naval negotiations, the Germans be- lieved they observed something like an agreement among Great Britain, France, Italy and the United States isolating | Germany. It was even rumored that! Great Britain, the United States and | Italy were pledged in advance to sup- | port the French claim to a large army with trained reserves. | The Austro-German customs unlon{ project, sericusly negotiated and sprung | as a surprise, is thought to have been Germany's retort to these alleged ma- neuvers. If so, that Germany won an initial success is certain. | France Now Seems Isolated. The French promptly assumed the | lead in the opposition to the Austrc- | German project. French opinion hard- | ened and a serious hitch over Prench replacements blocked the British- | French-Italian naval settlements. This | in turn has led to & renewea strain in | France's relations with Great Britain | and Italy, so that at the present mc- | ment it is France rather than Germany | which appears somewhat isolated. | However, the diplomatic struggle over | both the customs union project and the disarmament conference is still just be- gioning. There is plenty of time for ccmpromises, but for the moment a | ing over oificial circles in which only recently | there was so much optimism. | It has been learned that Great Brit- | ain sounded the United States some | weeks ago with a view to offering the United States the leadership in the preparaticn for the disarmament con- | ference, and even the there- | of. One idea mooted was that a mixed | commission headed an American should visit the principal countries dur- ing the next few months to try to lay | the bases of agreement. [ Tentative Offers Declined. | Washington, nowever, declined these tentative offers, it is :aid, and Great Britain thereupon resolved to take the initiative. Arthur Ho2nderson, British fcreign minister, undoubtedly is willing to accept the pres‘dencs of the con- ference, which the British hope will be held in London. The Frenth candidate for the presi- | dency is Dr. Eduard Bemes, foreign | minister of Czechoslovakia. Germany and Italy, sfter first scemingly favor- ing a president from a neutral country, like Holland or Sweden. are now be- lieved to be supporting Mr. Henderscn. It is possible that the French hes tions on this score wili be overcome, but it is unlizely that the conference | be held in London.

Saw Gunman at Close Range. One of the gunmen walked to Browns Station, nearly a mile away, and in- duced two farmers to pull the automo- Ibile from the ditch with their truck. On the way back to the ditched car m.:’ hn“-:" sat tlaenrm the two farmers, wl ample opportunity to scru- tinize him. The men are confident they can identify the robber and they be- lieve they would recognize com- penion. ‘They already have identified { the slain gunman, Joseph Hayes, whose body is being held at a Ritchie under- taking parlor. Washwgton police have abandoned interest in the case unl¢ss the ban- dits should appear in tie District. belleved, however, that the robbers have made their way to Baltimore, as a map found in Hayes' pocket showed a care- fully traced route from the southwest- ern section of the Monumental City to Towson, a northern suburb. Capital police decided to drop the case after it was concluded the gunmen could not have had any connection with the serles of hold-ups and shootings which have occurred here recently. Effort to Link Hold-ups Fails. An effort was made to link the ban~ ) dits with the robbery of the Garden T { Shoppe, in which Mrs. Elizabeth 8. Jaynes, 57-year-old cashier, was fa- | tally wounded; the attempted hold-up of a Congress Heights street car, in ’I'hlch James H. Lane, 42-year-old con- ductor-motorman, met a similar fate, and the $6,500 Peoples Drug Store pay roll robbery. No evidence could be found that the robbers had anything to do With these sfairs, however, ayes' wife, Mrs. Mary Anne Ha who 1 about 30 years old, has revealed the identity of one of the fugitives, ac- cording to Sheriff Hopkins. She re- fused to disclose the name of the other Tobber, however, explaining he was re= lated to her, Sheriff Hopkins said. ; The most important clues in the pos- session of the investigators are a pho- tograph of a girl believed to have aided the gunmen in making their escape and a letter thought to have been written to' Haves by the young woman. The girl, described as a fashionably dressed young woman with red hair, visited the three Upper Marlboro banks | shortly before the attempted robbery, presumably to study the loyout of the institutions. She also was seen sittin; in the robbers’ car, which was park across the street from the Pirst Na- tional for several hours prior to the at- tempted hold-up. Vanished Before Robbery. She disappeared before the nmen entered the bank. and it is bzlle‘\':d she drove to the road near Brown's Station in another machine and awaited the ne;lnx bandits. t an inquest conducted yvesterday by Justice of the Peace Thomas Grimth of Forestville, Owens was exonerated of all tlame in Hayes’ death, a jury deciding the bank employe had killed the robber “in self-defense and in the performance of his duty.” wens did not attend the inquest, which was held in the office of {he Prince Georges County Commissioners, because he was attending the funeral of » relative. rs.
