C DALADIER MAY G0 TOTALY T0 TALK OVER PEACE PLAN French Optimistic as Musso- lini Proposals Are Ac- cepted in Principle. PARIS WANTS AGREEMENT IN LEAGUE OF NATIONS Argues That Four-Power Limita- tions Would Tend to Divide Europe Into Two Groups. By the Associated Press. s PARIS, March 22 —Premier Daladier ©of France, it was believed today, may go to Italy to meet Premier Mussolini of that nation as the next step in efforts to organize a four-power peace club. It was thought the two may meet in Northern Italy, as I1 Duce is still un- willing to leave Italy. No plans, it was said semi-officially, had yet been made for the meeting, which was still only a possibility de- pendent on Signor Mussolini’s reaction to conversations in Paris between Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald of Great Britain and French officials. French Are Optimistic. French government circles were in- creasingly optimistic over the possi- bility of an eventual accord. “We see a ray of sunshine,” said a government spokesman. France's efforts to widen the scope ©of the accord is allaying fears of Po- land and the Little Entente, it was sald. It remained to be seen, however, on what basis they would participate, particularly in the revision of existing , because of Premier Musso- xmge?:me that the peace club be a strong, independent group unhindered by unwieldliness of the League of ations. N’I‘he French are anxious to bring about @ pact within the League, because they would be able to muster votes and in- fluence there to counteract a possible Italo-German block against them. The principal French criticisms of the Mussolini plan appear to be that if the Peace Club_is confined to the four powers, Great Britain, France, Ger- many and Italy, it will tend to divide Europe into two categories of nations and will infringe on the prerogatives of the League of Nations, in which all members have the same rights. Return to London. Premier MacDonald and his foreign secretary, Sir John Simon, said the four powers are the center of the sche‘me be- cause they are the League Council’s per- manent members and would bear the brunt “if worst comes to worst.” MacDonald and %lx. John left by air- lane for London at §-a.m. v ‘The French leaders also contend that ndmissions of the right to revise peace treaties and of German armament equality, as called for under the Mus- solini program, require most careful ex- amination, This is necessary, they held, in view of the possible consequences in diplomatic negotiations which would | be_initiated immediately. The nature of treaty revision must be defined and France's allies—Poland, Rumania, Czechoslovakia and Yugo- slavia—must be treated as equals, the French insist. (Poland and Czecho- slovakia gained their independence and the boundaries of the other two coun- tries, as well as France, were greatly extended under the post-war peace treaties which Italy and the defeated central powers have long sought to re- vise.) Sent to Mussolini. The modifice’iocns in the Mussolini plan desired by France were rorwxrdeg to the Italian premier after yesterday's conversations ~ between the British statesmen and Premier Daladier and Foreign Minister Joseph Paul-Boncour. The British representatives came here directly from Rome to explain the plan. MacDonald said British policy was to Beek a more neighborly feeling in Eu- rope and that no special views were de- ing pushed by one side or the other. MACDONALD REACHES LONDON.

LEWIS DENIES MINERS WILL DISCUSS PAY CUT Union President Says Board Will Consider Only Routine Matters. By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Mérch 22.—John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, said a meeting of the International Board here today “has no significance whatever, since onlz Toutine matters are being considered. Told of reports that anthracite dis- trict presidents were here to consider wage reductions, Lewis said: “T repeat that only routine adminis- tration matters are being tafen up. There are men here from all parts of the country. It's an International Executive Board meeting. There is no information to give out.” PFrom Scranton, Pa., came word that presidents of the miners’ union in the three anthracite districts had_been called to Indianapolis by Lewis. They are John Boylan of the Scranton dis- trict, Michael dy of the Hazle- ton district and Martin Brennan of the Pottsville district.

WARSAW, Poland, March 22—De- claring they would rather die of hun- ger underground than slowly starve to death while without jobs, more than 1700 coal miners at Klimontow have re- fused to come to the surface after com- pleting Saturday’s shift. They have remained underground on hunger strike in protest of a plan of mine operators to flood two shafts in which they work. : ‘The Polish government recently de- clined to permit a 15 per cent wage cut and also reduced the price of do- mestic coal 17 per cent on an average.

HITLER, DICTATOR, 10 END DEMOCRACY RULE TOMORROW Iron-Hand Program of Chan- cellor Expected to Be Approved. rvation. By the Associated Press. , March 22—The first Ger- man Reichstag controlled by Adolf Hit- ler in his political career of 14 years meets tomorrow to hear him outline the government policy he intends to carry out for four years without its aid. | The Reichstag is expected to move | swiftly toward the goal he has set, wiping out the last vestiges of democ- racy in Germany by ending its own ex- | istence for the allotted four years or at least as long as he remains chancellor. Approval Held Certain. ’\ It is almost an absolute certainty | that the enabling act drawn up by Hit- ler, giving himself dictatorial powers for that period, and completing setting aside the present republican constitu- tion, will be approved. An _indication of the attitude of this new Reicrstag, like nope other that as- sembled since the war, was the method- ical and rapid manner in which it car- ried out the program of the Hitler leadership yesterday. The regimented Nizi Brown Shirts, in a comfortable majority, with the Communists barred from taking their seats, completed its organization in nine minutes and com- | pleted its first business session in the Kroll Opera House in 25 minutes. The speech making there and at the ceremonial opening in the Imperial Garrison Church at Potsdam earlier in the day was left to the designated |leaders of the government and the venerable President Paul von Hinden- burg. Military Precision. The Reichstag functioned with military precision.

By the Associated Press. BERLIN, March 22—Prussia’s new ! Diet acclaimed the policy of political union with Austria at its first meeting this afternoon. Controlled- by Chancellor Hitler's Nazi party, it jammed through the election of officers and committees and cheered keynote speeches by the aged Gen.

The House discarded the old order of business, organized in less than three-quarters of an hour and declined iamid jeers to liberate several Socialist | members detained in prisons for po- | litical offenses. ‘The meeting place was draped with the flag of the new order. The gal- leries were crowded. Prince August | Wilhelm occupled a seat in the old royal box. “It is one of the greatest honors which ever has come to me,” Gen.

C, WEDNESDAY; MARCH NEW DISTRICT BILL MAY REVIVE [SSUE OF SURPLUS FUNDS Additional Pay Cut, Applied to City Workers, to Produce $1,800,000 ““Saving.” CONGRESS TO DECIDE HOW TO USE MONEY | Employment-Creating Work or Tax Reduction Could Result From Various Economy Steps. Unless the National Capital is per- mitted to carry on a larger amount of useful, job-creating municipal work in the coming fiscal year than was provid- ed for in the 1934 District bill, which died on March 4, or unless local taxes are reduced, Washington will be re- quired next year to build up another of those unexpended balances that have accrued in the past, to the detriment of the city's voteless taxpayers. This appears to be the outlook from an unofficial survey of the District's financial set-up, as the House prepares to. begin work anew on the local sup- ply measure, which must start its legis- lative journey all over again in this new Congress. The District appropria- tion bill is expected to go forward from the Budget Bureau within the next day or so. ‘The taxpayer naturally will wonder at the prospect of collecting more revenue than is to be spent, at a time when taxes are so difficult to meet because of economic conditions. The answer lies largely in the application of the Federal economy measures t& the District bud- get, with no accampanying let-up in the obligations imposed on the local tax- payer. Result of Old Law. The old economy law, with the 814 per cent pay cut, reduced the payroll for municipal employes by an estimated $2,200,000 during.the current fiscal year. And if the President should extend the pay cut to the maximum of 15 per cent allowed under the new retrenchment law, District officials figure the addi- tional slash of 625 per cent would take $1,800,000 more from city workers next year. On this assumption, therefore, the economy law would mean a $4,000,- 000 reduction in the District’s payroll next year, and this sum accounts for nearly all of the anticipated surplus that probably would exist if Congress appropriates no more than was con- templated in the bill that failed and assuming that Congress does not further reduce the already greatly diminished Federal share of $7,775,000 toward the total requirements of the Federal City this year. In the current fiscal year, District taxpayers contributed about 80 per cent of the money required to pay salaries, as the fiscal relationship last year’s lump sum was approximately 20 per cent for the Federal Government and 80 per cent for the local tax- | payers. “Savings” under salary cuts, are. therefore, largely savings of local tax revenues and it is argued that when local tax revenues are saved the bene- fits should accrue to the local tax- payers. No Excessive Income. As matters now stand, the District does not have more income than It needs at present to meet nor- mal requirements. In District Auditor Donovan appeared before the Senate subcommittee on District appropriations recently he estimated the city would probably close this fiscal year with a deficit of $440,000 to carry over. If, however, the President establishes immediately an additional pay cut of 62; per cent, the resulting saving during April, May and June would be just about enough to WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION bening THosE Boys NEVER SHOWED ANY SIGNS O’SPEED WHEN | WUz IN WASHINGTON R ] /A = ) GRAND JURY ACTS IN MITCHELL CASE Called Less Than 24 Hours After His Arrest for Tax Evasion.

HEARIGS CALLED ON BLESS PLAN House Labor Committee to Summon Miss Perkins and William Green. By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt's refoestation em- ployment program met at least a tem- porary delay today when the House Labor Committee decided to hold hear- ings instead of acting immediately. Chairman Connery, opposed to the measure, said after the committee held an executive session, that “the com- mittee wanted hearings, so we’ll have hearings.” Connery said later that the House and Senate Labor Committees would meet jointly tomorrow to open the hearings, Miss Perkins to Be Called. “Our first witness will be Frances Perkins, the new Secretary of Labor,” Connery said, and next his committee will call William Green, president of the American ition of Labor. It was d today that Miss Per- kins will be charged with selection of the unemployed to be enrolled in the “conservation corps” for forestry work. Connery yesterday refused to intro- duce the bill sponscred by President Roosevelt. He reiterated today that he opposed it “because it would establish a wage of $1 a day for unskilled labor.” Democratic leaders in the House had indicated they hoped Connery’s commit- tee wtuld approve the bill speedily, since with the pm:xe of the farm bill late today -there will be nothing of conse- quence for the House to work on.

HEARING IS PLANNED BEFORE DEBT ACTION Premier Daladier and Foreign Minister Paul-Boncour to Be Questioned. By the Associated Press. PARIS, March 22.—The Forelgn Af- fairs Committee of the Chamber of Deputies decided today to hear Premier Daladier and Foreign Minister Paul- Boncour before reaching any decision on a pending resolution to pay the defaulted $19,000,000 American debt in- stallment due last December. The National Confederation of War Veterans has expressed opposition to payment. Georges Bonnet, the finance minister, who recently was in London in con- nection with the projected World Eco- nomic Conference, was said to have reported -that Great Britain will not demand payment of the war debt in- stallment due from Prance in June. The House plunged anew into debate on the administration farm bill today, a strong majority ready for a vote and sure of its passage. S0 many members wanted to give their reasons for favoring or opposing the bill, however, that the original de- bate time limit was extended. When the bill was taken up today, an hour and a half remained of the four first allotted, but at the request of Chair- man Jones of the Agriculture Commit- tee, a total of three hours was allowed before the vote. No amendments were permitted under the drastic procedure adopted. This left the clear-cut issue of taking or leaving the bill, and most debate was devoted to advance explanations of A prediction that the House would pass the bill before night by an over- whelming vote was made by Repre- sentative Byrns, majority floor leader. Byrns sald he doubted even whether & “roll call vote will be necessary.” Representative Cullen of New York, leader of the Tammany delegation, in- formed party leaders that at least 27 of the 29 Democratic votes from the Empire State would be thrown behind the bill. ‘This information came after John F. Curry of New York, boss of Tammany Hall, advised Cullen to have the Tam- many and allied members support all the President’s proposals. Another Phase Awaited. ‘With dispatch of the bill to the Sen- ate imminent, it was learned that Pres- ident Roosevelt will by the end of the week send to Congress another phase of his farm ald plan, recommenda- tions for refinancing agriculture and home mortgages at lower interest. His plan involves reduction in payments, ‘not only on debts owed the Govern- ment, but on those privately held as well. Mr. Roosevelt has two purposes in mind in his proposed credit legislation. First, he wants to unite into one or two agencies the eight Federal farm credit organizatiuns now in existence. By this he also hopes to put the Federal farm loan banks and joint stock land banks on a sounder and more efficient basis. Secondly, he wants to bring about a & real refinancing of the mortgages now borne by farm and home owners. It was said the new plan probably would be along the same general lines as the Canadian system. Millers File Protest.

PLANS TO ADMINISTER NEW LAW ARE SPEEDED Fourteen States Will Permit Sale of Brew—Drys Expected to Test Constitutionality. By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt signed the 32 per cent beer and wine bill into law today immediately on receivirg it from the Capitol. Jt legalizes the beverages to be sold Where not otherwise prohibited as soon es the clock strikes midnight, April 6. Fourteen States allow the beer, which must be held to 3.2 per cent alcohol by weight, or 4 per cent by volume. Wasting no time on the act to which he looks for at least a $125,000,000 tax contribution toward balancing the budget, Mr. Roosevelt—as soon bill reached the White Hou.se—:r!osg; over to his cabinet room to afix his signature, along with that of vice President Garner that had been put on two minutes after the Senate met. The President went to the cabinet room by prearrangements to enable Pphotographers to record the scene. Legal Battle Pends. . Once sale gets under way, a long legal controversy is expected to follow as to constitutionality of the law, reach- ing the Supreme Court eventually. President Roosevelt today asked the Attorney General to report the status of Federal prisoners convicted under the laws, but who would not have been guilty of violation under the terms of the new beer bill. No decision has been reached on paroling such prisoners, nor is it known how many there are. The bill went to the President just nine days after he asked its enactment in a brief special message. It was the third of the major emer- gency measures requested by him and enacted by the special session, which convened two weeks ago tomorrow. The others were the banking bill and the economy measure. Treasury experts have estimated that it will contribute from $125,000,000 to $150,000000 in additional revenue toward balancing the budget by its pro- vision for a tax of $5 a barrel on the beverages.

Amos W. W. Woodcock, prohibition director, and Dr. James M. Doran, com- missioner of industrial alcohol, are making their plans for issuing licenses to brewers and preventing shipments into States with prohibitory laws. New Tevenue stamps already are being printed. Enforcement Planned. Shortly after the House adopted the conference report yesterday, the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol announced it would enforce the pending new law so far as production, inspection and super- vision were concerned, and that rev- enue stamps of the same kind used be- fore prohibition already were in the making to be turned over to the In- ternal Revenue Bureau. That organi- zation will take care of collecting taxes upon the brew. In a statement the Bureau of Indus- trial Alcohol said it had anticipated action by Congress in having the stamps printed. They will be in denomi- nations of 3 barrel, 1/6 barrel, % bar- rel and so on up to 5 barrels, 10 barrels and 25 barrels. Stamps already employed for legal- ized wine will be ccntinued. Meanwhile, Col. Woodcock said he was conferring already with adminis- trators with a view to preventing viola- tions of the beer bill and to co-ordi- [naung enforcement of this measure with the prohibition on hard liquors. aspects of the plan were yet to be worked out. 7 PRICE OF INAUGURAL WARDROBE USED TO GIVE SENATOR NEW HOME Mrs. Walter George Foregoes.
