ENGLISH SEEK I 1932 ARMS CUT ; BY CONFERENCE — I Moral Pressure Used by Mother Country and Dominions — Geneva, —(UP) — England and the dominions have brought a fresh j moral pressure to bear upon other' Leaguers for an actual reduction of armaments at the 1932 disarmament conference. in notes addressed to the Secrei tariat both by the mother country and the various dominions who are independent members of the League notice has been given that they cannot a’ccept the necessary amendments to the covenant to bring it into harmony with the Kellogg Pact until the bringing into force of a 1 general treaty for the reduction and limitation of armaments. The question of harmonizing the two documents is one of vital importance to the smaller members of the League, who count on the in- i corporation into the covenant of the Kellogg Paet abolishing war as constituting for them one of the greatest guarantees of security. Great Difficulty The question of harmonizing the covenant and Kellogg Pact was on the agenda of last year's Assembly and after great difficulty necessary amendments to the covenant were found which it was believed would be acceptable to the members of the League as a whole. The question was accordingly placed again on the agenda of this year s Assembly, at which time it was confidently hoped the necessary changes in the covenant could be made. The notification just given, however, by England and the dominions makes it evident that the necessary unanimity for the covenant amendments cannot be secured unless the est of the nations agree to an actual reduction in armaments. In the meantime. France also has taken an almost identical attitude. French Argument In a note she points out that ] while favoring fully the harmonizl ing of the covenant with the KelI logg Pact, it is quite apparent that | this never can be done until a suci cessful disarmament conference has I been held. However, as she always has insisted that if war is to be abolished | as a means of settling international disputes some other means must be I substituted, she urges that the i League in the meantime concentrate a'l its efforts on securing the most ] universal ratification possible of ! i the League’s General’Act of Arbitra--1 ' tion. The latter .which is the League's last word towards obligatory arbitration, has been ratified to date by fifteen nations. GIRL IS HELD FOR SHOOTING <continued from page onei

"She had a good job then, but he made her leave it and he set her up in an apartment.” That is the well furnished, three room apartment on the upper west side which Miss Jayne told police Yates paid for. sll2 a month in addition to her allowance ot S3OO monthly. "Ruth told me,” the mother continued. "that Yates didn't live in the apartment; that they just had (parties there. Ruth said he had promised many times to marry her. "About three months ago she found out he was married and had three children. I told her to walk out on him. But Ruth said: “‘I” make him pay for this; I’m going to have a showdown’." "Apparently she did. She had threatened to kill herself if anything serious happened." Yates. Miss Jayne finally admitted, had wanted her to lease a smaller, less expensive apartment. They had argued over that, and they had consumed four bottles of gin in the conference which began Thursday night and ended wiiji the shooting Friday morning, she said. “We were both so drunk we didn't know what we were doing," she stated. They were struggling on the floor when she heard three shots, she said. Miss Jayne called Dr. R. L. Maier, a friend of Yates, who found her hysterical and pacing the floor in djright silk pajamas. Yates lay on the floor in the bedroom. The bullet had ipierced the abdomen and intestine. His condition was critical. Four hours later, police received from Dr. Maier a report of the shooting. ]! They learned that Yates wore . ] pink silk shorts and a dark blue . pajama coat when Dr. Maier arrived at the aipartment. There was | no trace of a bullet hole in his

He lifted the bans against the so-called intelligentsia recently, recognizing others of this heretofore despised class to a Proletarian state. His next step was to grant wide amnesty to political prisoners throughout Soviet Russia, including some 700 held in Soviet lumber camps. The sentences of scores of others were shortened. Lifting of the rations system will give the individual in Russia more of a sense of freedom than almost any other one move could do. At present, everyone living in the Soviet Union must possess a card issued by the authorities calling ] for so much grain, so much meat, milk and other staples, per month. , The card was necessary to enable the consumer to buy at a Govern- ] ment low-priced shop. It permit-] ! led the individual to purchase only a specified quantity of each staple. • And to buy that be had to Stand j , in line often, for hours outside a Government co-operative shop. Those with money could buy at ' I i private store, but the prices were I . three or four times the prices charged in the government shops | —and hence prohibitive to all but a very tew in impoverished Russia. I The others had to stand in line, | present a card, get it punched and walk off with a hunk of black bread—white bread is almost un- ( known in most of Russia, land of ■cheat—a bottle of milk or a small j bit of meat. f ° i FLIERS FINED; GAIN RELEASE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE' ’ sumed international importance, , cleared the way for Pangborn and a Herndon to proceed with plans for a flight fr,om Tokio to America as . a continuation of their round-the--1 world tour.

PAY BOOSTS CUT OLD- FASHIONED CHURCH SUPPERS Pastors’ Benefit Suppers Now Replaced By Assessments — Chicago, — (UP) —The ( aditional benefit and social, or the community ‘pound party,” for the impoverished village preacher has disapipeared because his salary has been increased. A system whereby the more highly paid clergymen are assessed a small percentage of their salaries has been adopted by a California conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. “This is in line with the general. movement to laise the standard of | ministerial remuneration,” said Dr. I John Thompson, pastor of the Chicago Temple. “We already have a modified form of tliat equalization process in effect in the Rock River conference" he continued. “We also have what might be called a minimum wage in Chicago for Methodist preachers. As superintendent of the City Missionary Society, I guarantee a minimum of $2,000 and peri sonage to every active clergyman | who has a family. “Several months ago a movement ] was launched in the Hock JJiver con- | ference for a voluntary contribution I by the higher paid ministers up to ] two per cent of their income to be ] distributed among the pastors and missionaries in the poorer districts. Virtually all agreed to co-operate. “All over the country this movement is under way, with conferences either voting a compulsory assesment, as in California, or making it voluntary, as here in Rock River conference. I expect to see it presented on the floor of the next Methodist general conference at Atlantic City in May 1932 by leaders from Chicago." Methodist salaries in Chicago run from $2,000 to $12,000 or $15,000 a year. o Ti e “Flapper” Webster's New liiteriintloiml dictionary says: A young girl of . ] about fifteen to eighteen years of age. especially one who Is not yet ' “out" officially; probably so called with a double allusion to “flapper.*’ a young duck, and to the braid of hair worn hanging down the hue 1 ’ of voting girls I 0 ; Useful Action ■ Though I may not be able to In form men more than they know.
