SPRINGFIELD, Ill, February 6.—The short-lived truce ended, residents of Tllinols coal fields today anxiously spec- ulated as to whether the future would dbring war or neutrality between miners’ unions. Hostilities ended four weeks ago, when Gov. Henry Horner called leaders of the United Mine Workers and Pro-| gressive unionists, at loggerheads over | wage contracts, into conference to set- tle their differences. Termination of the parley Saturday paved the way for possible resumption of disputes out of which violence has sporadically flared during the last seven months, Precautions to Be Taken. | Citizens had assurance from Gov. | Horner, however, - that every precaution | Nourmahal. would be taken to prevent Christian County from regaining its status as the | battle ground of the trouble zone.

That there would be resumption of picketing on the part of the Progressive miners was predicted by Claude Pearcy, president of the Progressive Union. He said cessation of the peace negotiations automatically restored the prerogative of picketing. Several Persons Clubbed. Less than a day after the peace par- ley terminated West Frankfort was the scene of a dispute between county au- thorities and miners, who, they said, were members of the Progressives.

PLAN COMMITTEE 10 FEED CHILDREN School Heads and P.-T. A. Members Confer on ‘Re- establishing Joint Group. Re-establishment of a committee representing the Public School system and the District of Columbia Congress E. Kramer, first assistant superintend- ent, was named as the representative of the schools to comprise the com- mittee. The conference also decided to make available such cooking facilities as exist in scattered school centers “to welfa agencies or groups as may desire utilize these facilitiees for the prepara- tion of food to be distributed to needy families in the homes.” This project, however, is approved subject to author- ity by the Board of Education. At the conference, which was held in Dr. Ballou's office, the whole question of providing nutrition to scms chil- dren was studied. The practicaBility of providing regular meals to needy pupils was questioned in the light of the ab- sence of faclities for its preparation in the schools. It was contended generally that a child is the last member of & femily to go hungry and if children are comirg to class without food, thers 1s behind each the probability of a hungiier family. Hence, the conference agreed, the real method of providing relief ‘for such children lies in the operation of recognized welfare agencies | which would provide relief through the home. Tha District of Columbia Health Department, through Dr. Joseph A. Murphy, chief medical and sanitary | inspector, advised the conference that the milk and crackers now served in the schcos 25 a midmorning lunch | provides the most practical and at th~ | same time the most beneficial means of | supplementing the pupils’ nutrition.

UST as Secret Service agents were ebout to close in on him, Austin Carpenter, head of the most suc- cessful counterfeiting ring in re- cent years, was murdered! Learning ~ through the underworld grapevine that one of Carpenter's five confederates was the killer, they were rounded up and brought in. Among them was the lead- man, the most skill- ful engraver the Secret Service had ever encountered. Turner, Daniel Leighton and beautiful, cul- tured Helen Owings, who fronted for the ring. After much in- vestigation and se- vere grilling the following was learned: (a) Leighton and the killer both came town, ) Recently the killer had spoken his’ resentment at the superior manner of the engraver, the chief’s confidant, and had told Helen and ohe of the oth- ers that he was suspicious of him. (c) One of them, believing the Secret Service was about to close in, wanted to get out. The killer's sister had told Black that Harris' brother knew too much about the ring’s operations and said she believed he was obtaining in- formation from the engraver, who was unfriendly to both Black and Harris. (d) Turner, on learning this, said he was of the same opinion and demanded that Black speak to Harris about the engraver's “loose tongue.” Black re- fused. He and Harris’ had been cell- mates in Sing Sing. After reading the above to his old friend, Bob Lee said, “Well, professor, what'’s the murderer's name? I can't figure it out.” “That's easy, — ——, of course,” smiled Fordney. WHO MURDERED AUSTIN CAR- PENTER?

LITVINOFF DEFINES AGGRESSOR NATION AS ANY INVADER| (Continued From First Page.) that the conference for a moment was startled. The Russian member presented the definition in the course of a criticism of the French disarmament plan. Adoption Proposed. He proposed his resolution including the derinidon of an aggressor for adop- tion by th: general commission. That nation should be branded an aggressor, said the resolution, which declares war against another state; in- vades another state without declaring bombards the territory of an- other state; or establishes a naval biockade of another state, No consideration of a political, stra- tegical or economic nature shall justif; y | ageression, said M Litvinoff, and an attack cannot be justified by “the in- ternal situation in the given state, as for instance political, economic or cul- tural backwardness, alleged maladmin- istration, possible danger to life or property of foreign residents, revolu- tionary or counter-revolutionary move- | ments, civil war, disorders or strikes, or the establishment or maintenance | in any given state of any political, ezo- | | nomic or social order.” Second Surprise. These proposals, said the Russian | delegate, constitute a logical extension | of the French disarmament plan and | are not hostile to it. The Russian | government, he said, believes that this scheme would contribute to the solu- tion of the security problem. When he had finished there was an- other surprise Count Rassinsky, the Polish spokesman, admitted that the French plan had little chance for adoption. Then he proposed the draft- | ing of a convention embodying the re- sults thus far attained, much after the fashion of the proposal advanced last December by Norman Davis, the Ameri- can representative.

Roosevelt arrived here today on the vacht Nourmabal, on which be is taking a vacation cruise with Vin- cent Astor and others. He was greeted by Capt.

MIAMI, Fla, cratic party workers were converging on this temporary Hbadquarters today | as James A. Farley, national chairman, | and other leaders studied a patron- | age distribution plan for the attention of President-elect Roosevelt. Apparently sensing the approach of | office seekers, the Democratic chief- tains passed the word last night that igh pressure campaigns for jobs | would be futile—that merit and party | service were to be the tests. It also became known that protests have, been received from senatorial sources against the inclusion of too many Senators in the Roosevelt cabinet. Catches No Fish. But just what President-elect Roose- | veit's ideas are about this is problem- atical. He *was anchored last night under Stirrup Cay in the Bahama Is- lands group after an apparently un- | successful first att-mpt at fishing on | his yachting cruise. He planned an- | other fishing trip today after visiting Nassau to get a fish pilot and bait. Vincent Astor, owner and captain of the Roosevelt yacht, messaged this in- formation in to Marvin H. McIntyre, secretary to the President-elect, late | yesterday. His radio to the Fort| Lauderdale Coast Guard station read: | “Anchored under Stirrup Cay.

It was expected that Brun- ner would support the cause of Julian, whatever it may be. Two names also are prominently men- tioned here for the office of commis- sicner of internal revenue—Robert Gore of Chicago and William H. Howes, na- tional committeeman for South Dakota, Gore is host to a group of party lead- ers meeting here for the wzek. Despite an apparent race among prospective officeholders, genial Jim Farley, the national boss, who has the official title of master of ceremonies | |from Mr. Roosevelt, is listening and _ | planning, but saying nothing. The protest against inclusion of too many Senate leaders in the Roosevelt | cabinet is understood to include an ob- | jection from the veteran Senator Norris of Nebraska, Republican independent leader and enthusiastic Roosevelt sup- porter, who is known to be anxious to conserve the Roosevelt strength in the | Senate. ! Senator Cutting, Republican inde- pendent, of New Mexico; Senator Glass of Virginia, Walsh of Montana and Hull of Tennessee are others prominently regarded by Roosevelt for the cabinet. However, the President-elect is safely at sea, and apparently he is going to listen for another three weeks before announcing anything. . MRS.

P. LAUNCHES GOMEBACK DRIVE League Formed, With Curtis as Head, to Educate New Voters. By the Associated Press. A National Republic League, headed by Vice President Curtis, has been formed to attempt restoring the G. O. P. from the tremendous drubbing the voters gave it last November. The new organization was announced last night by John A. Campbell of White Plains, N. Y, who will be its director. “The purpose of the new organiza- tion,” Campbell said, “is to reach th young people of the country and ecu: cate them in the principles and tradi tions of the Republican party.” designed to “be one of the means by which they hope to win back the coun- try to their party in the congressional elections of 1934 and the presidential election of 1936.” Three Vice Chairmen Named. It is professedly neither for nor against the interests of any one candi- date. What has been disclosed of its make-up so far is strictly regular Re- publican Uncer Curtis as chairman, three vice i ¥ o"mer Representative John Con- ne-ticut. Headquarters will be opened in Wash- ington, and from it a steady campaign of “information” will be issued, direct- ed especially at the younger voters, but not_overlooking any of the public. Curtis, in his letter accepting, said: “My dear My. Campbeli: “I have given considerable thought to the invitation that I become chair- man of the National Republican League. Fulfilling Patriotic Duty. “It has long occurred to me that scme such organization formed for the educaticn of the youth | of the country in the principles of the | Republican party. The work to be | undertaken by the league while partiscn in its efforts still is fulfilling a patriotic duty in interesting the youth cf the country in their Government. “With approximstely two million young pecple coming of age each year the league will have an opportunity of bringing to the service of our party the younger element in American life which I feel is needed now. “I, therefore, deem it a great hcnor to be called upon to bpcome the leader in the movement and accept the chair- manship with full confidence that the | league will be a valuable adjunct to cur party.” lican Netional Committee in its East | ern_headquarters during the last three | presicential czmpaigns and in between has helped the National Congressional Committee.

First Rebuilding Step. “Between now and 1936 approximate- |1y 8,000,000 young men and women will | reach voting age and t> a very large party will be in their hands,” Campbell said. “Our object will be to furnish to this important group, and to tne people as a whole, the information upon which they can form intelligent and scund opinions on national affairs. “This movement is not in the inter- |est of, nor hostile to, the candidacy of any person or persons for public. office. It will co-operate with the national and local party organizations by bringing to the support of the Repubiican party the militant youth of America.” ‘This move is the first rebuilding step in the party since election, but a gen- eral reorganization has been looked for by many in the party to come some time after March 4. At the Capitol the | Republicans have been busy conferiing. Some have been trying to get together to oust Everett Sanders as chairman of the national committee. He was put there by President Hoover.

A reduction of the maximum loans to individual farmers from $400, as | was allowed, in 1932, to $300 this year, is being cotisidered because of the in- crease in applications expected. The bill authorized the Secretary to require | acreage reduction up to 30 per cent as a loan condition and the department expects to require the full reduction except in the case of minor acreages. | An increase of about a third in %hel | number of loans over last year is looked | for. The department is having 30 per | cent more application forms printed than were used in 1932 when $64,- 000,000 was disbursed. . Law Changes Urged. | . Requests for changes in legislation | in some States to make farmers within | their borders eligible for loans are being made by the department through members of Congress. The law re- quires that the loan shall be the first lien on the crop produced this year. In the case of Pennsylvania, a law was enacted a year ago effective for one year legalizing crop mortgages. A similar law is considered necessary to | cover loans this yeay. Some changes |in Connecticut laws also are believed | necessary. Whether the department shall make loans to farmers who have not repaid their borrowings under similar loan acts | in past years has not yet been decided.

By the Associated Press. A Senate drive for aid for the cotton producer by emergency legislation en- tircly independent of the “farm parity” bill was disclosed today as hearings on the latter measure finally closed.

Proponents of this measure feel it would have a good chance of President Hoover’s approval and that the “farm parity” bill app'ying to cotton, wheat and other products would be sure to be vetoed by him if it passed. Strong opposition to the parity bill's application to cotton was ex] at e closing hearings by ‘Charks D Owen, treasurer of the Beacon Manu- facturing Co., New Bedford, Mass., and Julius W.
