ANGLO-FRENCH AID PACT 15 REPORTED Envoy Delivers Pledge to London in Reply to Eden’s Promise. By the Associated Press. PARIS, December 1.—Conclusion of an Anglo-French military accord, by which Great Britain and France agree to assist each other in case of an un- provoked attack, was reported by re- liable sources today. Charles Corbin, French Ambassador to London, personally communicated his country's pledge to the British fore eign office in response to a similar guarantee from Great Britain Novem- ber 20, it was declared. Pledges Given by Eden. British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, at that time, declared France could count on British aid if she were attacked without provocation by an- other European nation. Last week he made a similar pledge to Belgium. The end of the military assistance negotiations came after members of Premier Leon Blum's cabinet met for what an authoritative source said was & study of “central problems of de- fense posed by present events.” Reports of the Anglo-French accord were interpreted in some circles as carrying the implication France and Great Britain had abandoned hope of reviving the Lacarno mutual security treaty, abrogated whén Germany re- occupied the Rhineland last March., Specific Details Withheld. Bpecific detalls of the reported mil- ftary alliance were not disclosed. The government, on another domes- tic front, served notice to Communists their party must accept neutrality in the Spanish civil war or cause the col- lapse of the Popular Front adminis- tration. BRITISH ACCEPTANCE INDICATED Eden Says, However, England De- plores World Division. LONDON, December 1 (#)—Re- liable indications last night pointed to British acceptance of the reported French plan for a mutual assistance pact with England and Belgium, al though Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden in the House of Commons de- clared “His Majesty's government has explicitly deprecated any tendency to divide the world into conflicting camps.” Informed quarters said afterward his remark was aimed only at pacts of aggression. ‘These persons said the French al- lance offer would be accepted with | favor as compatible with the govern- ment's desire for defensive .under- standings to promote peace. The proposed agreement, they said, ‘would be purely defensive and, there- fore, not likely to “divide” Europe.

EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D MANGETS 5 YEARS INOFFICER'S DEATH Baltimore Policeman Died in Fall From Car’s Run- ning Board. By the Associated Press. TOWSON, Md., December 1.— George K. Shea was sentenced late Yesterday to a term of five years in the Maryland Penitentiary for convic- tion of manslaughter in the death of Carroll Hanley, Baltimore patrolman. Shea was arrested in Washington November 1, three days after Hanley was hurled to his death from the run- ning board of a speeding sutomobile. ‘The trial was brought here on a change of venue. The prisoner pleaded that the patrolman “was more like a father to me than anything else” after the Bal- timore County Circuit Court had re- turned its manslaughter verdict. “I would do anything to bring him back, if there was anything I could do,” Shea continued. “I had no rea- son for killing him and nothing but good feeling for him. It was an ace cident, pure and simple.” Chief Judge T. Scott Offutt, in passing sentence, said, “The -interest of the police of the State must be up- held and the interest of the State must be protected. The court does not feel that it should treat this as a light and trivial thing.” Three State witnesses testified they saw Patrolman Hanley falling from the running board of an automobile. William R. Fleming, colored, told of hearing Hanley tell a man, “I want nd led the man to an automo- When the patrolman went around the car the man started off and Hanley jumped on the running board. Raymond W. Lapides, loan com- pany manager, identified S8hes as the man whom Hanley was leading to the automobile.

Secretary Morgenthau today said he “was greatly shocked by the death of Gus Gennerich, a member of the White | | House detail of the U. 8. Secret Service, | charged with the protection of the | President.” As the cabinet officer in charge of the Secret Service, the Treasury Sec-| retary said “Gennerich was an able, | alert and loyal servant of the public, ! | just as he has been in like service in | | the State of New York. I have known him since the Albany days and friend.” | Gennerich is the second Secret| Service man to die within the Presi-| | dent’s term of office.

Half & hundred striking seamen from Baltimore were to have Police Court hearings today following their arrest late yesterday at an anti-Nazi demonstration in front of the German Embassy on Massachusetts avenue just off Thomas Circle. They were charged with parading without a permit and held in cells all night in lieu of $25 collateral each. The seamen, in & column of twos, marched by the embassy half a dozen times shouting: “Down with Hitler,” “Down with fascism,” Hands off Spain” and “PFree Simpson!” The latter shouts referred to Law- rence Simpson, the American seaman who was imprisoned in Germany after he was convicted of distributing com- munist propaganda in German ports, Disregard Warning. After the column of demonstrators had circled several times in front of the embassy, Police Inspector James Beckett informed the leader no more marching would be permitted. The column turned again, however, and passed once more in front of the embassy. The inspector then sum- moned two-score uniformed officers who were waiting inside the embassy and put the demonstrators under arrest. Submit Without Resistance.
