The 16-year-old daughter of an Agriculture Department entomologist was arrested yesterday on charges of reckless driving after her automo- bile struck and possibly seriously in- jured the 43-year-old wife of a Com- merce Department specialist. Mrs. Alice B. Skliar, 3625 Sixteenth street, the accident victim, is in Emer- gency Hospital with concussion and several possible rib fractures.

Bond is Arranged. Miss Abbott was detained at the Receiving Home until $500 bond could be arranged by her father, Walter S. Abbott, in charge of the insecticide laboratory at Beltsville, Md. Although the girl was charged with reckless driving, police of No. 1 pre- cinct, where she was booked, would not say just how she violated the law. Mrs. Skliar was crossing the street when the accident occurred. Two Others Hurt. Two other persons were injured in traffic accidents yesterday. Mrs. Mary O'Connell, 61, of 314 Fifth street southeast, received a pos- sible skull fracture and a broken collarbone when she is said to have walked into an automobile near Fifth street and Pennsylvania avenue south- east. She was taken to Providence Hospital. Police said the car was driven by Fred J. Schnaebele, 1319 Forty-fourth place southeast. James Pisani, 5, of 753 Newton place, received a broken ankle when struck by an automobile at Warder and T streets. He was treated at Garfield Hospital. The machine, police said, was operated by Mrs. Katharine Cochrane, 3526 Park place. PROF. GEWEHR TO OPEN LECTURES TOMORROW The first of 12 lectures on the general theme of “The World Today” will be delivered by Prof. W. M. Gewehr of American University to- morrow at 8:15 p.m. at the Washing- ton Club, under sponsorship of Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker. The purpose of the series is to ap- proach current world problems in their historical perspective, and for this reason it is planned to deal with only one topic in a lecture. The first lecture is on the subject “The War ‘That Nobody Won.” The second will be “The Treaties That Brought No Peace.” Dr. Gewehr was formerly exchange professor of history at the Boxer In- demnity University, known as Tsing Hua, in Peiping, China. He is au- thor of a number of books, including “The Rice of Nationalism in the Balk- ans,” and, in collaboration with Prof. Ferdinand Schevill of the Uni- versity of Chicago, “A History of the Balkan Peninsula.” For the past five years he has been head of the history department in the College of Liberal Arts at American University. King Is R’Iourned On Fortieth Day Following Killing By the Assoctated Press. BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, November 17—With national religious services Yugoslavia observed today the fortieth day of King Alexander’s death, which in this country is symbolical of Christ’s ascension 40 days after the crucifixion. An elaborate requiem mass with a majestic Slavic ritual was celebrated at the National Cathedral, where members of the cabinet, all the mem- bers of the regency except Prince Paul, cousin of the late King, as well as Charles S. Wilson, the American minister, were present. Touching scenes were enacted at Topolo, where the King is buried. The widowed Queen Marie, accom- panied by 11-year-old King Peter, the Dowager Queen Marie of Ru- mania and Prince Paul kneeled upon the cold marble of the magnificent royal mausoleum and prayed for some time beside the coffin of the slain monarch. The sobs of the widowed Queen and the plaintive weeping of the young King could be heard outside, where thousands of sorrow-stricken peasants gathered. During the re- ligious services for the King all busi- ness was suspended throughout the country. SPECIAL NOTICES. T WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY debts_contracted by other than myself. WA E.

HE British government seems to | have undergone lately a change of heart in regard to Japan. The official denials that there has never been an idea of re- newing the old British-Japanese alli- ance would have been taken with a grain of salt a few weeks ago. Now they seem plausible. For the time being, those who are opposed to a Japanese-British entente, that is to say the admiralty and some members of the British government, have the whip hand and are being helped by the brutally frank attitude of the Japanese government, which does not want to yield on the question of naval parity. * % X % ‘The British industrialists have been pressing their government to improve the Japanese-Britisk relations. This, for two reasons: They wanted to come to an understanding with the Japanese in order to divide the markets in the Far East and wanted to get on the ground floor in Manchuria. oTER With the blessings of Sir John Simon, a delegation belonging to the Federation of British Industries went to the Far East to see what could be done in the way of business in Manchuria. In order to gain the approval of the Japanese they went first to Tokio. The members of that delegation were in- fluential men in the United Kingdom. A peer of the realm was at the head. The Japanese Emperor, who does not receive every Tom, Dick and Harry,| received them, wined them and dined them. Friendly speeches were made and broad hints were given that these | commercial travelers were pioneers | who would foster a better understand- ing between the mighty British Empire and the Empire of the Rising Sun. * ok k% The delegation returned to Great Britain, more or less empty handed. They managed to sell a score of thou- sands of tons of scrap iron, and got some minor concessions for some public works in Manchuria. But there was nothing doing in the line of big business. The Jap- anese let them understand that they themselves are quite capable of supplying all that the popula- tion of Manchoukuo needed. Japan might make some elbow room for the British in their newly ac-| quired possession, but not uncvndx-i tionally. Their own goods must be first received on easier terms in_the | British Empire. Of course, if the Brit- ish capitalists wanted to place some of their surplus funds in Japanese industries, they were welcome to it and will be given a fair share of the profits. This is what the delegation of the | F. B. I was told and the British did not relish the situation. Capital is always welcome everywhere: the British wanted to sell goods, not money. * ¥ X X There was no sign either that the Japanese could be induced to abandon the present underselling policy in this community where the British goods reigned supreme in the past. On the contrary, after a few weeks’ inspection of the Japanese industrial centers the members of the delegation realized that Japan is more determined than ever to continue the dumping policy. So the commercial diplomats re- turned to London with a somewhat gloomy report about the prospects of commercial understanding with Japan, e e Sir John Simon still believed that the Japanese might be induced to change their tune if Great Britain were to uphold their national policy | of naval parity with the United States. This was an acceptable policy provided Great Britain did not have to suffer from it. But when it was realized that the Japanese intended to build as much as the United States and that the Tokio government was not after a face-saving device which would give it a mere diplo-| matic success, the British admiralty started figuring out what ell this would mean. And they discovered that with Japan building up to parity with the United States and with the United States building up to the 5:3 ratio, the British would become involved in a naval race which they neither want nor can afford. Furthermore, British understanding. suft Australia. X K K X Besides organizing the new porate state, cor- write plays. His most recent one, “The Hundred Days,” not a great box office success. But Il Duce is not easily discouraged. He made it into a film, giving the title role, Napoleon, to a German actor, Herr Werner Krauss. The Mussolini movie will be, naturally, spectacular. No less than 3.000 men are now being employed in this new movie, which promises to be a sensation—at least in Italy.

By the Assoclated Press. LEXINGTON, Ky. November 17. — A mysterious blond girl hitch- hiker ‘and 4-year-old Jackie Gib- bons—whom she is accused of kid- naping without any apparent motive— were hunted through Kentucky and Tennessee tonight by Federal agents and State police. Reports that a girl and a boy had been seen in Oneida, Tenn., sent de- tectives and two Federal investigators hastening to that town tonight. The boy has been missing from his home here since Thursday afternoon. That night his body was sought in the belief he had been hit by a motor- ist who concealed the body to escape punishment. The search failing, the chase was extended to Tennessee and the Department of Justice was called on to aid. Gov. Ruby Laffoon was urged today by Gov. Joseph B. Ely of Massachu- | setts to do everything possible to | find the boy. The Gibbons family came, Gov. Ely said, “from my old home of Westfield.” Detective Chief Joe Harrigan, of | Lexington, in charge of the case, said today he believes the girl picked up Jackie, hoping the child would arouse sympathy and help her get rides south. “I believe Jackie was kidnaped.” his father said today, “but I do not be- | lieve there was any premeditation or criminal intent. However, if no trace of the boy is found within 24 hours, I will be inclined strongly to believe his disappearance was the result of some criminal act.” OHIO CLUE TRACED.

The trouble the Catholic Church is experiencing in Mexico drew fire from two quarters here yesterday. A statement declaring “far-reach- ing consequences” may result from conditions south of the Rio Grande was issued by the American hierarchy, three cardinals, nine archbishops and 66 bishops joining in support of a bill of particulars. Concurrently, members of the so- dalities of 17 local Catholic colleges and high schools joined in a protest against the situation in Mexico and designated December 9 as a day of prayer here in behalf of their co- religionists. The protest is to go to the Mexican Ambassador, Religious Liberty “Mockery.” Among their charges of ti- Christian tyranny” made by the hier- archy were: Reduction in numbers of priests until liberty of religious worship is “a mockery”; denial of constitutional rights to clergymen; | confiscation of property; denial of liberty of religious education as well as worship, and enforced self-exile of active Catholics. Their resolution warned that “the full consequences of the persecution of the church and of Catholics in Mexico can scarcely be foreseen at the present time.” “They cannot but eventually be very grave,” it added. “Those who must flee from their own country into ours bring with them a problem to which we cannot be indifferent.” At the same time the churchmen noted a gratifying response to their previous campaign to remove alleged obscenity from the movies, and warned that the League of Decency, organized to invigorate the drive, would be continuingly diligent. Decrease Number of Priests. In their bill of particulars on the Mexican situation, they said: “Beginning systematically at the end of 1931, the priests permitted to | minister to the people in Mexico were decreased to such a ridiculously small number as to make of liberty | of religious worship a mockery. “In the federal district comprising 1,300,000 Catholics, only 25 priests are permitted to minister. “Many states have prohibited priests altogether, for example, Tabasco, Zacatecas, Sonora, Chiapas, Vera Cruz, Campeche, Queretaro. “Without due process of law, church buildings, of priests, even dwellings owned by A R WINTE residences of bishops and | others in which bishop or priest may be temporarily living, educational and charitable institutions, have been closed and confiscated. No trial by jury is permitted in case of any ap-! peal. Denied Right of Assembly. “Catholic citizens are denied the right of assembly and the right of freedom of the press. “Any religious society is denied the right of corporate legal existence. “To hear the duly executed and duly presented petition of citizens is refused. “The right of franchise is denied a clergyman simply because he is a clergyman.” The meeting emphasized that it spoke not only as members of the heirarchy but as American citizens, and deplored “the evident indifference on the part of many to the life and worth of those principles on which our American Republic is founded.” 200 At Sodality Meeting. The Sodality Union meeting, held at Georgetown University, was at- tended by about 200 young men and women. Francis E. Hickey of George~ town presided, and the conferees were welcomed by Rev. Arthur A. O'Leary, acting president of Georgetown. Rev. Vincent S. McDonough, S. J., director of the Georgetown Sodality, spoke also. | Rev. Francis P. LeBuffe, S. J, of | New York, director of sodalities in| the East, in addressing the meeting, | sharply criticised what he described as the apparent apathy of Catholics in this country toward the Mexican trou- | ble, as contrasted to the recent “world | | wide indignation” over the persecution | of Jews in Germany. Movie Drive Discussed. The campaign for cleaner motion | pictures was discussed at this sessicn | also, the participants pledging them- | selves to further it. Father LeBuffe's | recommendation that this same move- ment be carried to “the stage, the| dance hall and the bathing beach,” likewise was approved. “There are dirty dances, and dirty magazines and dirty shows on the so- called legitimate stage, and improper | dresses and bathing suits that are of- | fered against Christian ideals of mod- | esty.” he said. “If you are true to your ideals not | merely as Catholics but as self-respect- ing human beings, you will take just as firm a stand on these matters as EAL RIZING SPECIAL Flush Radiator, Install Dupont Antifreeze. , Remove Grease and Adjust Front Rearingr Check Front Wheel Alignment Zerone Wheel Ford--Chevrolet or Plymouth h Starier and Generator Armatures. d Reset Distributor Points. ator_to Proper Charging Rate. et Geni Tighten Axle Nuts.
