PLANE GARRIERS PLANNED IN PARIS Naval Committee Reports Washington Pact Is No Longer Binding. PARIS, June 26 (%) —Construction of airplane carriers was reported to- day to be planned by France after the Naval Committee of the Chnm?er of Deputies had adopted & “belief” that the nation is no longer bound by the ‘Washington naval limitations treaty. The committee, revising France's plans on naval matters following the “annulment” of the Versailles treaty provisions by the new Anglo-German naval accord, based its attitude on the fact that France signed the ‘Wash- ington treaty in confidence that the war treaties would be maintained. Francois Pietri, minister of the pavy, told the committee that Ger- many, by her agreement with Eng- land, will be allowed to construct air- plane carriers totaling 47,250 tons. France's only carrier is the 22,146-ton Bearn, laid down as a battleship be- fore the World War and converted after the close of hostilities. The offensive value of aircraft car- rlers in the narrow waters of the North Sea, especially for bombing op- | erations, has been generally recog- | nized. | It was pointed out that France is entitled to 60000 tons in aircraft carriers under the Washington treaty. While Sir Samuel was being ques- | tioned in the House of Commons, Lord | Lloyd, Conservative, initiated a debate in the House of Lords, declaring the | naval situation had undergone a sud- | den and dramatic change and that| recent events in Europe justified an in- crease in the empire’s protective forces. BRITISH DOUBT HITLER. LONDON, June 26 (#).—The Brit- ish press greeted with skepticism to- day Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell's dis- closure in the House of Commons that Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler has agreed to renounce “unrestricted submarine warfare.” . Open doubt as to how ironclad Hit- ler's promise would prove to be un- der the stress of war was voiced in Lord Beaverbrook's isolationist Ex- press. The newspaper pointed out edi-| torially that Germany promised at The Hague Convention of 1899 not to use Ppoison gas in wartime, “but April 22, 1915, a dark cloud rolled from the German trenches on through noman’s Jand toward the French and Canadian trenches.” “Without warning,” the Express said, “men were choked and blinded and their lungs burst with poison gas.

Protesting against the airport bill, recently passed by the House, which placed the entire cost of the port upon the District, the Logan-Thomas Circle Citizens' Association at its meeting last night went on record in favor of the original plan to split the expenses. The association passed a resolu- tion requesting the Public Utilities Commission to keep the fares the same wherever street cars are replaced by busses. The group also urged the commis- sion to call a hearing on the issuance of reciprocal transfers between the Capital Transit Co. and the Washing- ton Rapid Transit Co. It was suggested by the association that parking be banned on one side of N street between Ninth and Six- teenth streets. A letter was ordered sent to the traffic director requesting his office to ask for appropriations to improve the light system at Logan Circle. Satisfaction was expressed with the | present cab rates and sssociation Members urged against allowing any increase. After the meeting entertainment. was provided. Those who took part in the program were Mrs. Henrietta Flynn, Miss Jean Talbott, Miss Jane Thompson, Mrs. Charles O. Wilson, Mrs. Ella M.

The announcement by the Public Utilities Commission yesterday of a rerouting change which will provide bus service to the Barry Farm area met with wholehearted approval, last night of residents of this outlying section of the Capital. President Elzie Hoffman of the Barry Farm Citizens’ Association said, “The citizens dis- played greater interest in this an- nouncement than in the outcome of the Louis-Carnera fight in New York.” ‘The Barry Farm section is adjacent to Anacostia and Congress Heights and includes about 3,000 residents.
