GERMANY'S PLANS 10 CONSTRUCT 12 “SUBS” ARE BARED Simon “Legality” of Action is Being Studied. CONSULTATION PLANNED WITH FRANCE AND ITALY | Expansion Program Said to In- clude Five to Eight 35,000 Ton Warships. (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, April 29.—Sir John Si- mon, British foreign secretary, told the House of Commons today: “The German government bas intimated that orders have been given for the | construction of 12 submarines of 250 tons each. This matter now is under | consideration.” Although Sir John did not amplify LeSeh this statemen:, it was definitely stated in other quarters that the Ger- man construction was understood to have been under way for some time. The foreign secretary said the gov- ernment was considering the ‘“le- gality” of the German submarine dis- closures, but had not yet determined whether 1t should protest to the League of Nations. He did not reply to a question as to whether “it was proposed to go on with the naval conversations between | Great Britain and Germany.” Consultations Planned. Meanwhile cabinet members began an informal study of the question of ‘Germany’s return to the construction of submarines and arranged for im- mediate consultations with France and Italy as new secrets of the Ger- man naval program were learned. Reports reaching informed quarters here from Berlin said that Germany was planning the immediate expan- sion of her fleet with the initial,con- struction of: Five to eight battleships of 35,000 Six battle cruisers. Twenty-five to 40 large and Smllli eruisers. Pifty to 75 destroyers. Forty to 50 small submarines. Beveral aircraft carriers. It was sald in these quarters that Reichsfuehrer Hitler's program was soméwhat vague in many particulars because he had made it clear that Gérmany was not committing her- self definitely pendin xchanj views during the dehefliled Ang German technical naval conversa- tions. A source in close touch with the situation said the British cabinet was expected to order the conversa- tions to proceed as planned. Conferences Planned. The entire situation will be thor- oughly aired at meetings today and tomorrow of the various ministers con- cerned with foreign affairs and de- fense and their observations will be communicated to France and Italy. British naval officials will discuss the German plan with Francols Pietri, the French minister of marine, who left Paris for London today. One strong group within the Con- servative party today urged that the government make use of the “escalator clause” of the London Naval Treaty (article 21 of the treaty). Such action, it was said, would permit Great Brit- | ain to build more submarines and other small craft. This treaty auto- matically expires at the end of 1936. FRANCE BACKS BRITAIN.

April 20— Martin Farrell and Frank Wiley were sentenced to death in the electric chair today for the kidnap-murder of Willlam Weiss, Philadelphia night-life figure. The two had been members of the notorious Tri-State gang headed by Robert Mais and Walter Legenza, who were executed in Vir- ginia. They are brothers-in-law. When Judge Calvin S. Boyer asked if he had anything to say, Farrell re- sponded: “I don’t mind going to the chair, judge, but I'm being kept in the klondike down there at the pen and that’s what I don't like. I would like to have a few privileges before I take the rap.” Wiley's only words were: “No, I bhave nothing to say, your honor.” Counsel for the men filed exceptions to Judge Boyer's opinion refusing a new trial and said they would appeal $o _the Supreme Court.

After appealing to all Americans to | help make the $4,800.000,000 work- |relief drive “the most efficient and | cleanest example of public enterprise {the world has ever seen,” President Roosevelt sought today to get the vast undertaking “in full swing by Autumn.” | Meantime, Congress faced the pros- pect of a prolonged session extending well into the Summer. The Presi- | dent, in the “Fireside Chat” in which he outlined his work-relief program, had called for action on such con- troversial issues as social security, ex- | terision of N. R. A., banking and utility holding company legislation. His femarks on works and legisla- tion were regarded today as two | salient portions of the address. An- other was the note of optimism the President struck as he sat before the microphone in the oval room with a | flower in the lapel of his gray suit |and his aides around him. | “Atmosphere of Recovery.” | “Never since my inauguration in March, 1933, he said, “have I felt so unmis bly the atmosphere of re- covery. | “Fear is vanishing,” he added, “and | confidence is growing on every side, | renewed faith in the vast possibilities The dam not having been author- | of human beings to improve their ma- ized by the Federal Government, heimrl-l and spiritual status through the said, the Government was not en- | titled to an injunction prohibiting Arizona from interfering with the ject.

President’s Program. The President’s program includes measures which will lead to long de- bate in the upper house. The first job which the Democratic leaders in the Senate face is dealing with the anti-lynching bill. Confronted with a determined filibuster against this measure by Southern Democrats, and with an equally determined group of Republicans and Democrats from the North who insist on passing the bill, the Democratic leaders today tried to find some way out. In the meantime Senator Costigan's motion to take up the anti-lynching bill re- mained before the Senate. Supporters of the anti-lynching bill today received numerous telegrams from colored organizations and others who favor the bill in all parts of the country. They were urged to stand by their guns and insist on ‘a vote in the Senate. How long the bill will be allowed to delay the business of the Senate is a question, however. The pressure to | take up the bonus measure and others on the President’s program is very run. SIXTH INNING. WASHINGTON — Myer singled to left. Bluege flied to Hill. Manush popped to Gehrig.

Ironically, the search began near the spot where the body was found. ‘The Coast Guard dredged the river bottom, and municipal employes, Legionnaires and Boy Scouts joined police in a search of dark basements and houseboat shanties in the vicinity. The search had extended into Michigan when it was reported the boy had been placed aboard a bus for Traverse City, then was shunted back to Chicago when Joseph Bothe, suspected as the “thin man,” who was reported to have lured the boy from a neighborhood store with candy, was arrested.
