BULGARIA AND HUNGARY ARE BID TO JOIN PACT Austrian Arms Aid From Rome Hinted—Laval Reassures Poles on Alliance. By the Associated Press. Diplomats of eight European nations moved yesterday to safeguard the peace of Europe and their own se- curity as well as to forestall war in Africa, where Italo-Ethiopian ten- sion is growing. Four separate con- ferences occupied the statesmen in attempts to offset the effects of Adolf Hitler's decision to rearm the Reich. LONDON.—Great Britain aided by France raced against time to get arbitration machinery into action between Italy and Ethiopia to pre- vent the outbreak of what appears | to be imminent warfare. BUCHAREST.—Members of the Bal- kan pact—Turkey, Rumania, Yugo- slavia and Greece—decided they were helpless to keep Bulgaria and Hungary from rearming, but pro- posed a new security pact pledging all six to maintain peace in South- eastern Europe. Territorial revision and a Hapsburg restoration in Aus- tria were vigorously opposed. FLORENCE—Two Fascist leaders, Benito Mussolini of Italy and Chan- cellor Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria, held a brief but amicable confer- ence, with indications that Italy would support Austria’s demand for rearmament at the forthcoming Danubian conference in Rome. ‘WARSAW.—Pierre Laval, French for- eign minister, appeared _successful in his efforts to assure Poland she was not endangered by the new Franco-Russian pact and that it was the first step in a general Euro- | pean security plan. Laval will leave tomorrow for Moscow. ROME.—Mussolini later conferred with Gen. Victor Denain, French air minister, and is believed to have laid the basis for a mutual assist- ance air pact with France. Join in African Peace Move. LONDON, May 11 (#).—Great Britain and France, racing against time, moved today to conciliate Ethio- pia and Italy and prevent a possible war. Britain, well-informed circles said, does not minimize the possibility of widespread complications if the sit- uation is allowed to develop. She is co-operating with Paris in making new representations to Rome and Addis Ababa, All efforts are being centered on having arbitration machinery func- tioning before the League of Nations Council meets May 20 to hear Ethiopia’s appeal. For some time Great Britain has been urging both parties to the quarrel to hurry and appoint members of a Conciliation ion. Informed quarters admitted rela- tions between Rome and Addis Ababa are becoming tense, and said a care- less act on either side might set off a war. In Rome, Italian sources said to- night a group of Ethiopians who at- tacked the Italian consulate at Gon- dar, Ethiopia, December 17, 1934, have been released by the Ethiopian government in violation of an .agree- ment made between Italy and Em- peror Haile Selassie. Mobilization Threatened. ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, May 11 (P —Ethiopia called upon Benito Mussolini today to show his hand in their six-month-old border quarrel. A source close to the government sald mobilization of the black war- riors of Emperor Haile Selassie, “Con- quering Lion of Judah,” would be or- dered if settlement of all differences is not assured at the meeting of the League Council May 20 or if additional Italian divisions continue to pour into neighboring territory.

LONDON, May 11.—More than Many Taken to Hospitals as Huge Surges Forward to Gain Glimpse of Ruler. WASHINGTON, 500 Injured as King and Queen Make Final Jubilee Appearance Mob 500 persons were injured tonight as King George and Queen Mary made the last of their nightly jubilee appear- ances on a flood-lit balcony of Buckingham Palace before a surging mob of 250,000 persons. Scores of persons were knocked down and many others fainted as the throng pressed against the palaces— gates. Ambulance men raced from the steps of Victoria Memorial, pick- ing up fallen men, women and chil- dren. Twelve persons were removed to hospitals while more than 500 were treated at the field ambulance station. The smiling monarchs remained in view for seven minutes, waving to the cheering crowd, while the crush grew worse every moment, and the cas- ualties grew more numerous. Half an hour later. the King and Queen appeared again for three min- utes in response of persistent*demands of the populace. The King, in eve- ning dress, wore & black overcoat and bowler hat. The Queen wore an er- mine coat. Earlier in the day, arriving at Town Hall for a jubilee ceremony, King George laughingly commented on the appearance of a banner emblazoned, “Twenty-Five Years of War and Un- employment,” as he and the Queen arrived at the Town Hall today for 8 jubllee ceremony. “Well, it has not remained up very long,” the monarch told the mayor (Continued on Page 3, Column 1.) AODFLYING *FOES” T0 ATTACK HAWAII |“Enemy Advancing From West After Taking Midway Island From U. S.” By the Assoclated Press. HONOLULU, May 11.—The spec- | tacle of a mass attack on Hawaii by more than 400 ‘“enemy” planes was reported today in the plans of the Navy’s mid-Pacific air maneuvers al- ready involving the secret and un- precedented movements of 45 fighting | aircraft out of Honolulu. It was unofficially learned that the operation was being planned on the tactical theory that an enemy had suddenly overpowered American de- fenders of Midway Island and were | advancing from the west toward Hon- olulu and the important Pearl Harbor naval base with an enormous air fleet. Surprise Attack Test. Presumably it involved a test of whether the American could fall back from Midway to Honolulu and with the aid of anti-aircraft guns, Coast Artillery and Army planes, with- stand a great “surprise” attack by air from the west. Naval circles here still were as silent about the reported enlargement of the maneuvers as they were on the whereabouts of the massed planes that left here Thursday morning sup- posedly for Midway Island, 1,323 miles to' the west and north. ‘Washington Hint. A hint from a naval officer In Washington preceded the informa- tion here about the augmented maneu- vers. The Washington authority said the 45-plane flight was “child’s play” in comparison with other plans in- volved in the far-flung operations. He mentioned the possibility of 450 planes participating. The 45-plane formation had been absent from Honolulu 53 hours at noon today and still there was no official disclosures as to its where- abouts. Unofficial reports indicated some of the aircraft might have landed at islands near here for tac- tical reasons. Unofficially it was said the flight was being planned as a part of the fleet war game, as the “enemy” fleet, having theoretically overpowered de- fenders of Midway Island, 1,323 miles west, makes a spearhead advance to- ward the important Pearl Harbor naval base here. Strategy of Operation. Strategy of the operation would be his: this: ‘The defending fleet, having encoun- tered the attacking surface ships, will fall back until the attackers are within range of the long guns mounted on Hawalian island forts. These guns, plus those of the defending warships, will be sufficient, it was believed, to (Continued on Page 5, Column 1.) GRAN CHACO PEACE NEGOTIATIONS OPEN Representatives of Five Neutral Nations Plan to Invite Bel- ligerents to Parley. By the Assoctated Press. BUENOS AIRES, May 11.—Repre- sentatives' of five neutral nations— the United States, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uruguay—met today to in- augurate their efforts to bring peace to the Gran Chaco. One of the first acts of the medi- ators, it was learned, will be to invite Paraguay and Bolivia formally to & peace conference here, with hostilities to cease pending settlement of terri- torial and economic questions. Both belligerents were expected to accept such invitations since their armies are reportedly fatigued and rid- dle;l‘by casualties after 35 months of ‘warfare.

' Switch in Site of Regional Conference to Springfield Held Significant. BY THEODORE C. WALLEN. (Copyright. 1935.) ‘The most serious challenge to ortho- dox Republican national party con- trol was considered defeated yesterday on the strength of word that would- be delegates with New Deal leanings were being banned from the Mid- western Republican conference to be held in Springfleld, Iil, on June 10 and 11. The effect was to head off the “liberal resurgence” in that one of the five Republican regional con- ferences where it had made its strong- est showing in a demand for a New Deal in the Republican party. Members of the Republican con- gressional minority said the outlook for the Midwestern conference of nine States had undergone a sharp change since the proposal to break the con- servative control of the party was broached two months ago by Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas. The switching of the conference from Kansas City to Springfield, Ill, was cited as a step in that direction. Left Versus Right. Friends of former President Hoover said this was in line with his purpose in touching off the sentiment for regional Republican conferences well in advance of the nominating season. The party titular leader’s expressed idea, it was said, was not only to stir Republicans into activity across the continent, but to get the anti-leftist trend started early enough to head off the nomination of a “radical” on the Republican presidential ticket next year. On the basis of present indica- tions, this seems clearly assured and the Democratic and Republican par- ties seem more likely than ever to go into the contest as moderate left versus right. Should orthodox Republicans estab- lish control of the party in the Mid- dle West in the Springfleld confer- ence, a Republican national conven- tion conservative by contrast with the Democratic national convention will be certain. The New England regional conference last month showed that orthodox Republicans were firmly in the saddle there. The party machinery in the Middle Atlantic States is definitely in the hands of anti-New Deal Republicans. The sit- uation is the same in the South and border States. Aside from scattered spots, the only chance for radicalism to break through would be in the Far West, including Mr. Hoover’s home State of California, and there would be insufficient delegate strength from that section to challenge effectively the rightist control of the convention. In Accord With Hoover. Mr. Hoover and the present con- troling element in the Republican National Committee coincide in the purpose to make the party unrespon- sive to the “radical” appeal. While definitions of ‘“radical” differ, the two groups would agree that Senator Gerald P. Nye, Republican, of North Dakota, represents the type to be blocked off in advance. Senator Nye, in proposing former Gov. John C. Winant of New Hampshire for the Republican presidential nomination, is believed to have had an eye to running on the ticket with him, pref- erably in the reverse order, but on the same ticket in any event. ‘While foreclosing the possibility that nominating a “radical” is one of the (Continued on Page 2, Column 1) SOFT COAL MEN ASK U.

By the Assoclated Press. Sweeping authority for a newly cre- ated “rural electrification adminis- tration,” to go into the electric power business today was granted by Presi- dent Roosevelt in an executive order under the $4,000,000,000 work-relief program. Coincidently, a sudden shift in work project plans was announced by Frank C. Walker, head of the applications division. ‘The new rule states flatly that “all allotment applications will come through existing agencies of the Fed- eral Government,” instead of being filed directly—as was first expected— with Walker. The new arrangement emphasized the important place Harry L. Hopkins will have in the work program. Ex- cept for pending applications before the Public Works Administration, all others will be referred to Hopkins’ powerful works progress division be- fore reaching the Allotment Board and Mr. Roosevelt. The President's power executive order, setting up the electrification tion, generally was inter- preted as opening a new fleld of direct Pederal activities in power. Observers saw only one immediate check on this development—the amount of cash available. In so many words, Mr. Roosevelt di- rected the new electrification admin- istration “to initiate, formulate, ad- minister and supervise a program of approved projects with respect to the generation, transmission and distribu- tion of electric energy in rural areas.” Under one interpretation, the new unit, “R. E. A,” was believed able to build or acquire lines to power plants of the Tennessee Valley Au- thority, thus short-circuiting & Fed- eral Court injunction against sales of T. V. A. power, May Acquire Property. Supplementing and bolstering the sweeping grant for “generation, trans- mission and distribution” was author- ity in the executive order for R. E. A. “to acquire, the power of eminent domain, any real property or any interest therein,” in addition selling or leasing prop- erty. ‘Whether this language foretold the actual purchase or condemnation of existing power plants, transmission lines and distribution systems could not be learned from officials. Morris L. Cooke, already acting as head of R. E. A, though not formally ap- pointed, was out of the city yester- day. Details of how a farmer might be expected to benefit from the pro- gram were almost entirely lacking. One official said most of the projects under the plan probably would re- sult from organization of mutual com- panies by farmers, but for further amplification they referred to a radio speech to be delivered by Cooke next Saturday, between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. $50,000,000 Already Allotted. To carry out the broad purposes named in the President’s executive order, R. E. A. already has been ten- tatively allotted $50,000,000, half the sum 8 by Congress in the works law. Under the President’s flexible powers to transfer funds, a potential $900,000,000 conceivably could be devoted to rural electrifica- tion. 2 Officials recalled also, that “approved projects” under the R. E. A, program would have to follow the general work project routine of passing through first the applications division, and second, the Allotment Board. This meant the final say on its activities was in President Roosevelt’s hands. Creation of R. E. A. was the major relief development of the day, though & ruling by Comptroller General J. R. McCarl apparently eliminated sub- sistance homesteads as a part of the $350,000,000 rural resettlement pro- gram. McCarl advised Secretary Ickes that his $25,000,000 Subsistance Homestead Division “not only” will cease to exist when the recovery law expires June 16, but that the rural re- settlement authority of the work- relief law limiting funds to “the pur- chase of farm lands and necessary equipment by farmers, farm tenants, croppers or farmer laborers” would “seem to preclude” the use of such funds for subsistance homestead In some quarters there were im- mediate suggestions that homestead gardening activities might bring this activity with the rural resettlement (Continued on Page 5, Column 1.)

OMAHA CAPTURES PREAKNESS EASILY Derby Winner Leaves Seven Other 3-Year-0lds Far in Rear. By the Assoclated Press. BALTIMORE, May 11.—Once again asserting his right to rank with the | turf’s great, Omaha, Willlam Wood- ward's chestnut son of Gallant Fox, capped his easy Kentucky Derby vic- tory with an even more decisive tri- umph today as his flying hoofs left seven other 3-year-olds far in the rear in the forty-fifth running of the Preakness at Pimlico. Guided by Willle (Smoky) Saunders, the slim-barreled speedster finished the 1 .3/16 miles six lengths clear of Walter M. Jeffords’ Firethorn, which was eating Omaha's dust for the first time this year. Still another six lengths to the rear trailed Mrs. Dodge Sloane’s Psychic Bid, seeking to dupli- cate the 1934 feat of his stablemate, Quest. Omaha was clocked in 1.5825, one- fifth of a second slower than the race record hung up by High Quest, but the time might have been shattered had Saunders so desired. Even at that it was more than 2 seconds faster than Gallant Fox made five years ago. Wins $25,325 for Owner. Made the odds-on choice by the record crowd of 40,000, including many Congressmen and others high in the political and social life of the Na- tion and State, Omaha never left the outcome in doubt once he swung into stride. He paid $3.90 for a $2 win mutuel, while his owner, New York banker and chairman of the stewards of the Jockey Club, received $25,325. The victory boosted Omaha's total for the year to $66,600 and for two years to $70,450. With the victory went the honor of completing the first father-and-son double in the race and being the fourth horse to win both the Derby and Preakness. Sir Barton turned the trick in 1919, Gallant Fox in 1930 and Burgoo King two years later. The disappointment of the race was Warren Wright's Nellie Flag, the beaten favorite in the Derby. She was fourth at the Downs, but today, with no excuse of being bumped, she could do no better than seventh in an at- tempt to duplicate the 1924 triumph of her mother, Nellie Morse. Only E. R. Bradley's Boxthorn was back of the Western filly. Omaha Slow in Starting. Running his usual style, Omaha was slow to get under way, but quickly settled into stride, while Bobby Merritt shot Mrs. C. S. Bromley’s Brannon into a long early lead. As Brannon turned into the long back stretch, Saunders decided it was time for Omaha to begin to rum, and he began to eat up the ground.

TOLEDO, Ohio, May 11.—Efforts to settle the Toledo Chevrolet strike de- veloped a report of definite progress late tonight as representatives of the company, union workers and Federal conciliators conferred at a late hour. During a recess in the conferences shortly before midnight James Ro- land, chairman of the United Auto- mobile Workers' Federal Union Strike ‘Committee, said: “Things look a lot better now than they did before the night session.” No further comment on the prog- ress of the negotiations was made.

Other groups planned leave last night from Missouri, North and South Dakota, Kansas and New Mexico. Day, who works a 320-acre farm in Texas, arrived in Washington yester- day morning with his wife, intent upon mustering some tangible support for the farm program of the Agricul- tural Adjustment Administration.

Even if they don’t appear, the Texan con- | tinued, their popularity will not be | jeopardized. To Review Benefits. Beginning at 10 o'clock, a “keynote” speaker will devote 20 minutes to re- viewing the benefits of the present farm program as the farm group finds them.

After the meeting those present will “ride, not walk,” to the Capitol, there to continue their efforts in behalf of the Triple A’s. Somewhat shyly, Day admitted yes- terday that he was the originator of the whole idea; from him it spread to the farmers of his immediate neigh- borhood. “It was this way,” he explained. “We felt, the farmers did, that the administration needed some support up here.

STRENGTH Three Democratic Senators May Switch Vote to Uphold Veto. 0’MAHONEY’S BALLOT ADDS TO OPPOSITION Appointment of Chavez, Backing Bill as Passed, Replaces Loss of Cutting. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN, ‘The forces in the Senate ready to sustain a presidential veto of the Patman “greenback” soldiers’ bonus bill has gained, rather than lost strength, it appeared last night Senator O’Mahoney of Wyoming, Democrat, who was absent and un- paired when the vote on the Patman bill was taken in the Senate last Tues- day, is ready to vote to sustain the President if he vetoes the bill. There are at least three other Democratic Senators, all of whom voted for the Patman bill, who are seriously con- sidering voting to sustain a veto, it was learned. Indeed, one of these Sena- tors has said privately that he will 50 vote. When the vote was taken in the Senate, 33 Senators voted against passage of the Patman bill, and one Senator, Tydings of Maryland, was paired against it. If Senator O'Mahoney votes with this group against overriding the presidential veto, 35 Senators would be so aligned, three votes more than enough to sus- tain the presidential veto now expected. Patman Group Wins. ‘The Patman bill group gained one adherent yesterday, when Gov. Ting- ley of New Mexico, Democrat, ap- pointed former Representative Chavez, also a Democrat, to fill the vacancy in the Senate caused by the death of the late Senator Bronson Cutting, Re- publican. It has been confidently predicted that Chavez will vote for the Patman bill. This, however, is no real gain, because Senator Cutting, had he lived, was expected to vote to override a veto of the Patman bill. Chavez, it is said, will come immedi- ately to Washington and be here in time to vote on the veto of the bill, if it comes. Senator Thomas of Oklahoma said yesterday he was planning to with- draw his three motions for recon- sideration of the votes by which the Patman bill was passed and amended “early this week,” possibly Tuesday. to | Stch a move would allow the Patman bill to go forward to the White House without further delay. The motions to reconsider were made for the purpose of holding up a presidential veto un- til Senator Cutting’s place could be filled and until pressure by the veter- ans organizations and by Father Charles E. Coughlin of Detroit could be brought to bear on members of the Senate. Father Coughlin is expected to deal with the bonus bill in a radio address tonight. Although a request to withdraw the motions to reconsider would require unanimous consent of the Senate, if that were not obtain- able, then a motion to lay the motions cn the table could be made, which would, if adopted, end the tangle. Borah Urges Speed. Senator Borah of Idaho, Republican, a supporter of the Patman bill, be- lieves that more is to be gained by pressing the campaign for the bill now than by delaying the measure in the Senate longer. An idea that the bill was to be held up indefinitely would, he maintains, detract from the force and enthusiasm of the drive for the passage of the bill over a presidential veto. The Idaho Senator, in a statement issued last night, said some inflation of the currency was needed—that a limited policy of “cheap and abundant money” would be of benefit to the country. He pointed to the course pursued by Great Britain. “There was only one matter of controversy before the Senate on the bonus question, and that was how the payment is to be made,” said Senator Borah. “The administration bill, the Vin- son bill and the Patman bill all pro- ceeded upon the theory that the pay- ment wes to be made and to be made in the immediate future.
