LONDON, December 21.—American and Japanese delegates to the Inter- national Naval Conference arranged & last private talk today while the other delegations scattered for the Christmas holidays. Norman H. Davis, Admiral William H. Standley and Eugene H. Dooman, Japanese specialist of the American delegation, made an appointment to see Admiral Osami Nagano and Mat- suzo Nagai at the Japanese delegates’ hotel late today. The main object of the visit was understood to be to return a courtesy eall, with the Americans not making | any new proposals toward ovnrcomi.ng‘: their differences with the Japanese | over the question of equality involved in efforts to form an agreement re- placing the expiring Washington and London naval limitations treaties.

Virtually the same as requirements outlined for the District unemploy- ment compensation tax records, an outline of regulations for the Federal levy was being distributed this morn- ing by the Treasury Department. Local officials conferred with repre- sentatives of the Bureau of Internal Revenue before determining the Dis- trict procedure, thus agreeing upon the recording requirements. ‘The similarity exists only in the case of employers of eight or more persons, since the Federal law does not extend down to those employing fewer. - The Federal records must show the gross pay roll and total taxable pay roll along with the number of per- sons employed from time to time. No individual employe records are re- quired, however, nor is any special form of record prescribed. The Dis- trict regulations follow this plwem‘ except for employers of fewer than | eight persons, in which case individual | employe records must be kept. | Details of the regulations are being prepared by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the Treasury Department announced, and will be available soon. Although the Federal tax is effective as of January 1, 1936, no collections | will be made until after January 1, 1937. In the case of the District tax, collections are to be made monthly by the 15th of the month following their being due. Up to 90 per cent | of the Federal tax may be deducted | to cover payments to the local fund, | such payments to be indicated in the Federal records.

La Guardia, his arrival heralded by police department buglers, proclaimed a ban on the sale of small arti- chokes today to preserve “t h e peace and good order of the city.” The order, which becomes effective next Thursday in all city markets, is directed against “a group of in- dividuals now under indictment by the Federal Mayor La Guardia, G OVernment charged with re- straint of trade and unlawful control of such artichokes.” The mayor appeared at the Bronx Terminal Market at 6:45 am. ac- companied by Commissioner of Mar- kets William F.

The crowd cheered, then moved away to load their pushcarts with produce. In his proclamation, La Guardia sald it had been officially reported to him that dealers had been intimidated to purchase artichokes from the un- identified individuals and have asked protection to prevent “serious injuries to persons and property.” “This condition may lead to vio- lence and disorder and does jeopar- dize and impair the peaceful and the orderly marketing of this article within the city,” the official procla- mation asserted. “Such threats may also endanger the safety of innocent citizens, the peace of the community and the tran- quil and orderly tarnsaction of busi- ness within the public markets.” The mayor ordered the document posted on all pushcarts and in all pub- lic markets in Manhattan. The merchandising of artichokes, Commissjoner Morgan declared, amounts to approximately $1,000,000 & year, with “a profit of 100 per cent.” Twenty-five’ patrolmen and two sergeants guarded the market under supervision of Deputy Chief Inspector Reynolds, Inspector Loonam and Capt. Charles Humbeutel during the ceremonies. Webster’s dictionary defines an artichoke as the head of a tall herb plant, often used in salads and cooked a5 & vegetables - undergo an operation. A consultation was held last night | between Dr. Talbot, Dr. John Shugrue, brain specialist, and Dr. James Lyons, stomach specialist. The physicians reported Schall’s general condition re- mained unchanged. Mrs. Hugh E. Bierman of Wash- ington, sister of Mrs. Schall, said the Senator has “moved his left hand” indicating his left side was not par- alyzed by the head injury as was feared at first. “We feel he is really coming back to | consciousness,” Mrs. Bierman said. While she believes that the Senator has improved 25 per cent, she cau- tioned his friends and family against being too optimistic. Family Encouraged. Mrs. Bierman added that the Sen- ator had opened his eyes today for the first time since the accident, and declared, “We really are encouraged.” The Senator was run down shortly after dusk Thursday as he was being led across the Washington-Baltimore Boulevard by an employe of his office, O. L. Leen, 922 Hamilton street. Leen, though knocked unconscious, was only slightly injured. He is under treatment at Casualty Hospital for cuts, bruises and possible concussion of the brain. Driver Is Released. The automobile was driven by Les- ter G. Humphries of Hyattsville, Md., who was on his way home from Washington. The brakes on Hum- phries’ car were found to be in good condition. The motorist, however, was arrested on a charge of reckless driving and released on personal bond for a hearing before a justice of the peace at Hyattsville on December 30. The accident to Mr. Schall is the third blow of violence to strike the Senate within the year. Senator Bronson Cutting of New Mexico died in an airplane crash early last Sum- mer, and soon after the adjournment of Congress Senator Huey Long was slain by an assassin. Senator Long’s widow was among those who telegraphed messages of sympathy to Mrs. Schall. Mrs. Long said she was praying for Senator Schall's recovery. It is believed Senator Schall's ex- cellent physical condition prior to the accident will be a great aid in his life and death battle. He was fond of exercise, and often took long walks. Last Summer he started riding horse- back and frequently could be seen galloping along the bridle paths near Laurel, Md. Recently, he practiced jumping with his favorite mount.

The diplomats said such a session | was being contemplated for about January 10, and that if held, it would | serve as a peaceful demonstration of the League’s potential power against violators of the League covenant.

It also would act, diplomatic sources said, as moral pressure upon Italy to induce that nation to negotiate for | peace with Ethiopia, or at least not | to disturb the peace of Europe through resistance to the covenant sanctions. Authoritative sources asserted Prance was prepared to defend itself and to aid Britain if imposition of the League's punitive measures re- sulted in any Italian attack. Responsible sources attributed this belief to recent movements of French troops, ships and airplanes after it was disclosed that the British govern- ment had asked Mediterranean powers what precautions they had taken against such an eventuality. - Smokes for Serenaders.

At least that was the reply last night of the National Committee to the story going around that members of the party don't think much of the plan under which a sizable sum | would be assessed at these country- | wide affairs, and a “cut” diverted to the war chest for 1936. In support of their contention, the Democratic chiefs quoted Roger Tay« lor of Jefferson City, Mo., to the ef- fect that there not only would be a | dinner in Kansas City on the Jack- | son anniversary, January 8, but that it would be one of the largest politie {| cal rallies ever held in the State.

And a British Army secret intelli- gence officer told me where to find him.

Eveiy one) knows that Britain controls the wires | which operate our dummy cabinet. All Egypt is stirring, and unless we are given a constitution—" Scarface paused and drew the soiled first finger of his right hand across his throat in an unpleasant gesture. Then he went on: “Britain is forbidding Italy to ex- tend her area of control into Ethiopia, while, at the same time, she is doing the identical thing in Egypt. But we are united and it won't be long now before we cut through the fetters which are strangling Egypt.” Not Healthy Neighborhood. Once again he went through the | unhappy motion of cutting his throat | with his finger and as I left him his | scarred face like two live coals in a | clinker, warily traced my every step. I was glad to get back into my taxi- cab. It is not a healthy neighbor- hood.
