REICH TO BE SHUNNED. Not to Be Invited to Stresa, Simon. LONDON, March 28 (#).—Foreign Becretary Sir John Simon told the House of Commons today the German government would not be asked to par- | ticipate in the three-power talks at| Stresa. Italy, called as a result of Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler's determi- nation to have a German conscript army. Simon, after talking earlier with King George at Buckingham Palace and United States Ambassador Robert W. Bingham, faced the Commons, Guards Official Secrets. He declined to reveal the official secrets of his conversation in Berlin with Hitler on matters concerning European peace. He declared it was undesirable to make a full statement at present in view of the fact that a series of exploratory visits on the continent is continuing. He did refer to “considerable di- vergencles of opinion” between the German and British governments, al- though he maintained the results of the talks at Berlin were valuable for clarifying the points of view of both sides.

DOUBT BRITAIN OBJECTS. Reich Circles Think She May Favor Some Rearming By the Associated Press. BERLIN, March 28.—The belief that the uncompromising stand adopted by | Reichsfuehrer Hitler in the Anglo- | German conversations may not have been entirely objectionable to Great Britain was expressed today in some German official circles. These sources pointed out that it has been a cardinal tenet of British foreign policy to prevent any nation from attaining outstanding hegemony on the continent. Similar rumors to the effect that Great Britain might welcome a de- gree of German rearmament as a check to France’s domination in Eu- rope also circulated in British quar- ters. Observers of the two-day confer- ence among Reichsfuehrer Hitler, Sir John Simon, British foreign secretary, and Capt. Anthony Eden, British lord privy seal, expressed the opinion there was no doubt the conversations took s different turn from what the British tepresentatives had expected. —— = British Prices Higher.

Greely Received Belated Honor 3 N THE quiet of his own quaint | Georgetown home, in a setting of | Spring flowers, gay Spring dresses | and the brown and gold of uni- | forms, Maj. Gen. Adolphus Wash- | ington Greely, U. S. A., retired, yes- terday afternoon received the Con- gressonal Medal of Honor, highest military award of the Nation he has served so long and so well. It was his 9lst birthday. In front of the house stood at nt- tention Troop F of the 3d Cavalry and the regimental band, drawn up as guard of honor. The mounts, as if sensing the unusual occasion, stood almost motionless in the soft early Spring air. Neighbors and friends gathered in groups on the roped-off | block of O street. At the back of the | house the door leading from the gen- eral's study stood open on an old- fashioned garden with tinkling pool. Inside four non-commissioned offi- | cers stood behind a couch holding the | | national colors and the Army colors. | On a side table stood a birthday cake | with “81" outlined in tiny candles and | nearby, to cut it, lay a heavy, old- fashioned, slightly curved saber, relic | of the warrior’s active service. | Flourishes Greet Dern. Regulation ruffies and flourishes | greeted the arrival of Secretary of War Dern in his official car bearing the square red flag of his office. The mounted band played the national anthem. The citation of award for & | “long life of splendid public service” | was read. An alde handed the blue- | ribboned medal to the Secretary, who, | with a few formal words, pinned the decoration on the left breast of the | erect-standing veteran. Outside the | troopers presented sabers. | That was all, but those who wit- nessed it were deeply stirred. They | were more moved when the low voice | of the distinguished recipient spoke a few heartfelt words of acknowledg- ment, in which he pointed out that he received the honor with joy, not only for himself, but “on behalf like- | wise of my former companions, living and dead, who made possible the events on which this award is based.” One of these, the only one living, was present and rejoiced with his old chief. He is Brig. Gen. David L. Brainard, U. 5. A, retired, who, as a sergeant of the fateful Arctic expedi- tion of 1881-1884, was Greely’s right- hand man and, next to Greely him- self, its outstanding hero. Medal Again Affixed. Following the simple ceremony, Gen. Greely and Secretary Dern stepped out on the front porch and, in the sight of the watchers outside | and, amid applause and the cheerful | | music of a quickstep, repeated the | gesture of affixing the medal. The citation necessarily was a brief one. After the formal ceremonies, however, Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, | | U. S.

Greely, read a paper to the friends and officials as- sembled in which he outlined the general’s long, distinguished and heroic career and in which he referred to him as “in my opinion, our greatest living American.” Gen.

Mrs. Norton explained that all of the important organizations interested in traffic safety had agreed upon tliis bill to encourage safe driving and penalize only the reckless drivers, Representative Randolph, Demo- crat, of West Virginia, called the at- tention of the House to the serious traffic situation and urged support of the bill. Randolph, chairman of the special Crime Investigating Committee of the House, said that Inspector B. A. Lamb, commander of the Police Department Traffic Bureau, had appeared before his committee yesterday afternoon, and his testimony was of such a na- | ture that he felt it was necessary to advise members of the House of its | character. Lamb, he said, told the | committee there were 80 traffic fatale itigs in 1933 and 135 in 1934. | ‘Already in less than two and a half months this year,” declared Randolph, | “there have been 28 deaths due to motor vehicles.
