Actual discussions at the interna- tional assembly will not begin until Thursday after organization details have been completed, under the supe:- vision of a Steering Committee com- posed of the hemds of the 21 delega- tions. Among the prominent speakers a‘ later sessions will be Cordell Hull, United States Secretary of State, and Dr. Saavedra Lamas. Outstanding among the projects to be considered is Secretary Hull's pro- posed neutrality treaty to bind the American nations in strict agreement not to assist belligerent nations in time of war. The proposal would establish a per- manent consultative committee made up of the foreign ministers of the | Western countries, who would conduct | their discussions by radio-telephone | end cable to assure rapid action to prevent the outbreak of war involving any American nation.

Although the driver fought. for control of the machine as it bounded from road edge to road edge several times, the automobile’s momentum dashed it against the pole. The girl established the time of the accident at 2 a.m., according to Lacey. Hull and Heard were employed at the Capital Service Station, 2919 Rhode Island avenue northeast. Justice of the Peace Henry O'Nelll of Bladens- burg said no inquest had been set! pending outcome of the victims' in- juries and further investigation of the accident. Two Busses Collide. Two persons were injured neither seriously, and dozens of others shaken up when two busses collided at Twen- ty-first and K streets during the rush hour this morning. Miss Janet Hammer, Arlington, Va., suffered cuts about the forehead and Jennie Butler, 3221 Connecticut ave- nue, chest injuries. They were taken to Emergency Hospital. One of the busses, a Capital Tran- 8it Co. carrier, was going south on Twenty-first street. The other, an Arnold Line bus, bringing Virginia residents into the city, was traveling east on K street, police said. In another accident today, Miss Edith Priddy, 21, of 510 Peabody street was injured and taken to Emer- gency Hospital for treatment for a broken nose and possible fracture of the right foot.

Reports Mrs. Rutigliano Claims to Have Found Kidnaper. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 1.—The Daily News in a copyright story to- | day said Honey Hamilton, former Broadway showgirl, had ended a five- | vear quest in New York's underworld | for information to clear her husband, | Nicholas Rutigliano, of kidnap | charges. i Rutigliano, alias Nick Green, 52, was given 60 years along with three others i | in October, 1931, upon their convie- | tion in the abduction of Charles Ro- senthal, wealthy young Curb broker. “In the office of Gov. Lehman,” the | News said, “she (Mrs. Rutigliano) filed | | an appeal for the release of her hus- band * * * alleging she had found the real culprit and caused his indict- | | ment. “Information she gathered during | countless nights in dens and dives of | the city’s underworld was contained | | m & petition presented to the Gov- | | ernor. “It disclosed,” the paper stated, | | “that her ceaseless search, carried on | despite warnings, threats and beatings, | had resulted in the secret indictment” of another man, “* * * for the crime for which her husband was convicted.” Rosenthal was lured to an apart- | ment and held prisoner from Augunl 11 to 28, 1931. He was released after | payment of $50,000 ransom. The Raper said the prison gates | hardly had closed behind her hus- band before Mrs. Rutigliano set out | to prove his innocence, The News said Mrs. Rutigliano re- lated her life was threatened half a | | dozen times by criminals who suspect- | ed she was trailing them. Henry A. Lowenburg, Mrs. Rutig- liano's attorney, said he would ap- | pear Priday before Gov. Lehman and make a personal plea for a clemency hearing. The petition requested a par- don for Rutigliano, alias Green. Has Sons 69, Daughter 2.

ROWELL DENTAL SURGEON, ASSOCIATED Dis. 7863 * A CAB DRIVER HELD IN BRIDE'S DEATH Crockett Must Face Trial in Crash Fatality, Coro- ner’s Jury Rules. A coroner’s jury yesterday held Malcolm Crockett, 29-year-old taxi- cab driver, of 1111 Ninth street, for Police Court trial under the negligent homicide act in connection with the accident Thanksgiving day in which Mrs. Beatrice Mullin Baker was killed. Mrs. Baker, 22, wife of Charles J. Baker, an instructor at Georgetown University, was ridipg with her hus- band in & car operated by James T. Lowe, also a Georgetown instructor. The machine collided at Connecticut avenue and I streets with Crockett’s taxicab, the impact causing Lowe’s car to overturn and pin Mrs, Baker beneath it. The jury's verdict exonerated Lowe, who testified he was driving slowly, but thought he had plenty of time to clear the intersection when he saw the taxi half a block away. He said he was going between 15 and 20 miles an hour. - The taxi driver asserted Lowe’s ma- chine was oing at a “terrific speed” and that his cab had made a complete stop just before the crash. Ray Jack- son, colore. watchman at the Army and Navy Club, who was standing in the doorway when the accident oc- curred, offered contradictory testi- mony, declaring he saw the cab going up Connecticut avenue at “high speed” Just before ‘he mishap. The husband, who also is an econ- omist at the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, left the stand in tears after telling the jurors that his wife's head was on his shoulder and that he was looking in the opposite direc- tion when the taxicab approached.

Welfare Ap- peals to Public in Fight Against “White Plague.” Elwood Street, director of Public Welfare, today appealed to the public to purchase the Christmas seals which furnish funds with which the District ‘Tuberculosis Association fights the | “white plague” here. This method of obtaining funds for fighting tuberculosis has been found effective, Street said, not only in the amount of money raised, but also in its educational value in making people aware of the danger of tuberculosis and how to avoid it. “When you buy one of the bright | Santa Claus stamps and place it on your Christmas greeting or gift you | will know you are heiping to create that substantial fund which enables the Tuberculosis Association to con= duct a free clinic for examination, X-ray tests and X-ray examinations | for high school children, the care of | tuberculous children in a Summer | camp, the rehabilitation of hospital patients and many other services valu- | able both in preventing and treating | tuberculosis,” he said. —— Banana exports from Jamaica are 22 per cent below last year.

TRADING IN ARMS BY REICH CHARGED Open Violation of Versailles Treaty Laid to Germany by League Officials. By the Associated Press. 7 GENEVA, December 1.—League of Nations officials charged yesterday Germany was trading in arms and munitions of war in open violation of the Treaty of Versallles. Germany sold munitions worth 10,- 340,000 reichmarks ($4,136,000) in 1935, the League reported, and bought arms of war to the value of 215,000 reichsmarks ($86,000). Article 170 of the Treaty of Ver- sailles that ended the World War prohibited Germany from exporting and importing arms as war material. (Practically all of the major pro- visions of the Treaty of Versailles, except for the rearrangement of European boundaries, have been con- sidered by Germany to be void. Rhineland Provision Ignored. (The most important recent voiding of provisions of the peace pact oc- curred when Germany occupied the Rhineland, which was marked out by the Versailles Treaty as a demilitarized Zone. (More recently Germany decided no longer to accept international comtrol over her commercial waterways). League officials, listing the total known world trade in armaments as $43,600,000, pointed to Germany's report to the 1935 edition of the “statistical yearbook on the trade in arms and ammunition” as evidence to support their charge. Heretofore, officials said, Germany accompanied her arms trade figures with a footnote describing them as “arms for sporting purposes.” This year the footnote was omitted. Report Held Incomplete. The League warned that its report for 1935 should not be accepted as complete for the world-wide traffic in arms. The world total of $43,600,000, it was pointed out, necessarily was incorfiplete. Arms exports of the United States, i the yearbook published today showed, were $5,650,100, as compared with $6.- 240,700 for 1934. Principal purchasers of munitions from the United States were listed as China and Bolivia. Germany’s best customer in arms for 1935, according to the League, was Great Britain, with purchases amount- ing to 1,089,000 reichsmarks ($435.600). “The general world economic de- pression that set in in 1929-1930," the yearbook said, “had much less effect on exports of arms than on com- modities in general. Increase Since 1933. “The from 1930, but a decrease in arms ex- ports between 1930 and 1932 inclusive | | was relatively much smaller, while | since 1933 there has been an increase which has not been observed in world trade as a whole.” The report on armaments divided at- tOOF REPAIR‘ Carefully | FERGUSON 3081 GA.
