SN BY ELLOGG Ex-Secretary of State Op- poses Neutrality Law Extension. By the Associated Press. Frank B. Kellogg, Nobel peace prize ‘winner and co-author of the Kellogg- | Briand peace pact, frowns on any further American neutrality legisla- tion. President Coolidge's Secretary of | State, commenting last night on the idea of including oil, iron, steel and | other war ma-| terial in the American embar- go policy, said un- | necessary inter- | ference with “our‘ legitimate com- merce” might “in crease the causes of war.” He gave his| views in an inter- | view a few hours after President Roosevelt indi- | cated a new neu- | trality law would be sought from Congress. The Chief Executive did | not indicate its nature, however. Hits Sanctions. While Kellogg condemned the mil- | {tary operations of Italy in East | Africa, he criticized economic sanc- tions imposed by the League of Na- tions. He also declare dthe existing neu- | trality law, which embargocs arms and | munitions shipments to belligerents | and which expires in February, “must “be and will be complied with by the United States.” “I don’t see any necessity for any further legislation on the neutrality question at all,” said Kellogg. “The United States can maintain peace so far as its influence is cor.cerned with- out any additional legislation.” No Excuse for Conflict. Kellogg declared he saw “no excuse whatever for Italy making war on Ethiopia.” “There is no reason whatever,” he | #aid, “why Italy should ignore her obligations under the pact of Paris and her making war is a violation of | her obligations. She ought to receive | the condemnation of all civilized countries.” Y Though President Roosevelt did not elaborate on his intentions to request legislation, the State Department is| known to favor greater elasticity in the President’s powers. Such & proposal is considered cer- | tain to meet with opposition from | Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of | Michigan, and others. | Frank B. Kellogs. e Hangs Self on Birthday. CHICAGO (#)—Harley R.

The Tydings bill provides that on the 4th of July following expiration of 10 years from the date of the inau- | guration of the commonwealth the President of the United States shall by proclamation surrender “all right of possession, supervision, jurisdiction, control or sovereignty then existing * * * over * * * all military and other reservations of the government of the Philippines,” except naval stations, which will be the subject of later ne- gotiations. That means that if in 10 years the commonwealth is ready to go it alone the United States will turn over its military reservations to the Philippine government, including the fortified is- land of Corregidor at the entrance SENTENCE FRIDAY Jailed Pending Decision of Judge on Manslaughter Charge. Francis M. Tompkins, 26, son of Charles H. Tompkins, 3001 Garrison street, soclally prominent contractor, was in District Jail today awaiting sentence on a manslaughter charge to which he pleaded guilty yesterday. Justice F. Dickinson Letts, before whom young Tompkins was arraigned in District Supreme Court, will pass sentence next Friday after consulting with a probation officer, to whom the case has been assigned. No Minimum Sentence. The maximum sentence in a man- slaughter case is 15 years’ imprison- ment or $1,000 fine, or both. There is no minimum, nor is the convicted party eligible for parole. ‘Tompkins went to jail after plead- ing guilty to a charge that he was driver of the car which ran into a street car platform at Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue early on March 2, killing Mrs. Ruth Storey, 30, of 63 Seaton place, a charwoman in the District Building. Witnesses testified the defendant was speeding. Hurt After Accident. Shortly after this incident Tomp- kins was injured seriously in a fall from a horse during a Middleburg hunt meet. He is fully recovered now, friends say. Justice Letts refused the plea of | Edmund L. Jones, Tompkins’ attorney, that the young man be released on bond because he was in charge of District sewage disposal plant con- struction and was to take charge of work on the Langdon Terrace low- cost housing project, a contract for which was awarded his father Thurs- day.

Cowles, Nerve Specialist. Groom Great-Grandson | of Banker, Rail and Utilities Magnate. Mrs. Nona McAdoo de Mohren- | schildt Cowles, daughter of Senator Willlam Gibbs McAdoo of California, was married in Mexico City Thursday to Francis Taylor, wealthy son of Mrs. Moses Taylor, New York socialite, according to word received here today. The bride recently obtained a di- | vorce in Mexico City from Dr. Edward Spencer Cowles, New York nerve spe- cialist, whom she married in 1927. Her first husband, Ferdinand de Moh- renschildt, was attached to the impe- rial Russian Embassy here during the World War. Their wedding was at- tended by President Wilson, in whose cabinet the bride’s father was then Secretary of the Treasury. De Moh- renschildt died in 1919. They had a daughter, Fernanda de Mohrenschildt, who has been living with her mother. | Mrs. Taylor is a daughter of Senator | McAdoo by his first wife, Sarah Flem- | ing McAdoo, who died in 1912. Her‘ sisters are Mrs. Clayton Platt, jr., the | former Harriet McAdoo, and Mrs. | Brice Clagett, the former Sally Mc- | Adoo, at whose home in Landover, Md., her father was married last September to Doris L. Cross, 26-year- old Public Health Service nurse, his third wife. Mrs. Taylor’s brother-in- law, Brice Clagett, is a Washington attorney and former newspaper man.

For years the District Fire Depart- | ment has ‘asked for appropriations from Congress to provide gas masks among items listed as “repairs to ap- paratus and new equipment.” The requests have been refused con-| sistently.

Community Chest employes are in- vestigating complaints that “a young man with an ability to weep that would be worth real money to & mo- tion picture actress is working one of the cleverest panhandling schemes ever used in Washington.” Four different contributors to the Chest have requested that the young man’s story be checked. Approaching his prospects with a quavering request for “work, just any kind of work,” the beggar tells a dole- ful tale of starving wife and kiddies and explains that he is merely try- ing to earn enough money to obtain & taxi driver's permit. He tearfully in- sists he does not want charity and accepts money only with great ap- parent reluctance. His most effectivé plea is for a loan of the necessary funds, which would be paid back at the rate of a dollar a week as soon as he starts driving. Countless number of people have made the requested loans, it was said at the Chest headquarters. Miss Rhoda Lewton, applications bureau secretary at the Chest, has traced four addresses given by the young man, and in each case they were found to be false. 5 WOODWARD & LOTHROP A perfect dress to wear all day long ...everyday... and always enjoy Shirtwaist Classic for women period of the Boxer Rebellion.

What President Quezon ' doubtless | has in mind is an army and a reserve | strong enough to maintain the gov- ernment—which many regard as a dictatorship—in power, if and when the American military forces are with- drawn under present provisions of the Tydings act at the end of 10 years. He has brought his old friend, Gen. MacArthur, over here to help him do it. National defense, says Mr. Quezon, is of first importance and the program will be put ahead of everything else. The defense bill, one of the first measures put before the National As- sembly of the commonwealth, pro- vides that “the freedom, independence and perpetual neutrality of the com- monwealth shall be guaranteed by the employment of all citizens without distinction of age or sex and all re- sources, in repelling invasion and in- suring territorial integrity of the com- monwealth.” What everybody wants to know, of course, is how the army is going to be paid for. The United States now maintains about 11,000 troops in the Philippines, in Zamboanga on the island of Mindanao and in and around Manila on the island of Luzon. The cost of the troops, which include about 6,800 Philippine Scouts, which are a part of the Regular Army of the United States and will be mustered Politics (Continued From First Page.) here Monday, though it appeared to be one of the subjects at the back of the minds of some leaders. The committee will select a city and date for the Republican National Convention next year. It also will elect a vice chairman to succeed Mrs. Alvin T. Hert of Kentucky, resigned, and fill committee vacancies in eight States. Chairman Henry P. Fletcher fore- cast a smooth working program for Monday’s meeting except perhaps for a possible controversy over delegate apportionment. Last Convention Plan. If the plan adopted at the last con- vention is followed—and some leaders said it must be—each State will have four delegates at large, plus three more if they went Republican in the previous presidential election, plus one delegate for each congressional district, and another for each- dis- trict which cast 10,000 Republican votes in either of the two previous presidential and congressional = elec- tions, Because of the Hoover landslide in 1928, 40 States had a bonus of three extra votes in the 1932 convention. Only six States—Connecticut, Dela- ‘ware, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Pennsylvania—are entitled to the extra delegates next year since Hoover carried only these in 1932. R. B. Creager, national committee- man for Texas, is understood to be planning & fight for continuation of the 1932 apportionment. If he loses, there will be at least 102_fewer dele- gates at the “next convention than in 1932. Then, there were 1,154, Chicago, Kansas City and Cleveland are ready to bid for the convention, Fletcher said, with some others likely to compete. Bilingual Railroad. All employes of South African rail- ways who deal with the public must know both English and Afrikaans, A | supplies at a cost of about 16,000,000 | pesos—$8,000,000—a year. The esti-| mated income of the Philfppine na- tional government for the current fiscal year is 56,000,000 pesos and the expenditures 54,000,000 pesos, consid- | erably less than the budget for the | District of Columbia. While it is un- derstood that President Quezon plans to use for national defense part of a fund of about $15,000,000 due the Philippines from collection by the United States of its excise tax on co- conut oil, and while the Philippine commonwealth begins its life with a comfortable surplus of cash, the mili- tary program is merely a part of the President’s program for other im- provements—and funds for education and road building and other such | needed and socially desirable under- takings are pitifully small now in comparison with the needs. But President Quezon answers ob- | Jections based on the cost of the na- | tional defense program by stating that the Filipinos can’t defend them- | selves without the men. “If the | people won't stand the cost they don't | deserve independence. We can't de- | pend on other nations to defend us.” Constabulary Proficient. There is already a good nucleus for a standing army in the Philippine Constabulary, which has attained pro- ficiency under Filipino and some American officers. The authorized strength of the constabulary now is 549 officers and 8,152 enlisted men, although actual strength is nearer 7,000 men. President Quezon plans | value to retain even the repair station | station can handle ships as large as| | United States of any naval bases on | the island, millions of dollars. The naval station and yard at Cavite, the naval hospital nearby and the naval repaii station at will await the result of the later nego- tiations. Idea to Get Out Entirely. Naval men are pretty much of the opinion that it would be of no great at Olongapo if the United States gets out of the Philippines. Their idea, | when the die is cast, is to get out and get out completely. The Olangapo | 10,000-ton cruisers for overhaul but not battleships. The retention by the it has been suggested, would be contradictory to the principle of a proposed neutrality treaty among the powers for which the President | is supposed to negotiate after Phiup-[ pine independence. | Corregidor, fortified at such great expense and its plans guarded as a| military secret with a zeal that would | do the Japanese credit, commands the entrance to Manila Bay and is prob- ably impregnable against an attack on | Manila from the sea. A navy coulfl‘ seek refuge in Manila Bay behind the guns of Corregidor and feel very safe indeed. But a navy feeling safe in- side Manila Bay would not be doing anybody much good and the perfec- tion of the airplane and the fact that the Philippine coast line is longer than that of the United States, to-| gether with the present proximity of military and naval bases on fortified islands of other powers has consid- erably reduced its military importance. | SUN FAILS TO SHINE; FLORIDA PAPER IS FREE St. Petersburg Publisher Gives Edition Away for First Time Since June 14, 1934.

By the Associated Press. MANILA, P. I, December 14.—The National Assembly approved the Philippine defense act today. It pro- vides for compulsory military train- ing and would muster all residents and resources - for defense of the islands in wartime. The measure appropriates $8,000,000 for military purposes, including the customary $3,500,000 for the com- monwealth constabulary and $1,700,- 000 for the immediate purchase of equipment and for construction.

While fire officials were of the opin- jon that electric light bulbs started the blaze, Peters told Secretary Ickes there is no informaticn on the subject. “That is,” he said, “whether it wu‘ caused by a lighted cigar, cigarette, spontaneous combustion, exposed elec- trical wiring, the proximity of highly inflammable material to an unshielded electric bulb or incendiarism.” He said that an javestigation as to probable cause would be continued. The $40,000 damage estimate seemed too low to a number of postal officials. They pointed out that huge sections of plaster have been wet by seepage from the sixth to the first floor and will be revealed later. They said the damage might total several hundred thousand dollars. Lack of adequate gas masks was a large factor in the number of fire- | men overcome at the blaze. The fumes were dense and especially po- | tent in the inclosed file room on the sixth floor. Firemen who approached through the smoke-choked corridors found many of the light masks sup- plied by the Fire Department were in- adequate. There were more than 100 of these light masks, supposed to be good for half an hour. Heavy two-hour masks ‘were used by firemen of the two rescue squads. Only 12 of these latter masks were available. Almost 200 firemen alternately used the light masks or crawled down the corridors with their faces to the floor and their mouths stuffed with wet sponges. The fumes were strong enough to overcome an unprotected man walking upright, but near the floor ‘the air was somewhat easier to breathe. Schrom Eats Smoke. Mrs. Jenckes wrote that she was “surprised and astounded” to learn, of a shortage in District fire fighting equipment, and assured the Commis- sioners that she would do everything possible to remedy this situation if | they would furnish her with a list of | requirements. ‘The Representative also wrote to Fire Chief Schrom and told him the necessity of calling on outside assist- ance had convinced her of the need for additional fire equipment. | Physicians said there were no seri- | ous injuries among the 14 firemen who | remained at Emergency Hospital. | Most of them were under treatment | for exposure, shock and inflammation of the eyes caused by the fumes.
