Their criticism, privately said to represent the attitude of most of I the 'Republicans in congress, promised a hot conflict before the nattional committee votes on the Hoo-ver-Hamilton proposal. In the view of many veterans, it greatly decreased the possibility that the 1 committee would approve it. Two factors stood out in the last-minute offensive to block It. First, the congressional members of the party traditionally are the most powerful influence in the or-; I ganiation between conventions and particularly when they represent a minority party. Unless they cooperate or even take the lead, it would be unlikely that a successful national convention could be held or that it would go far toward re-establishing party discipline. Second, the congressmen who come up for re-election in 1938 I have been alarmed by the possible results of a mid-term convention, particularly the possibility that it would fall under leadership that would fail to improve their position | with the voters. |c Townsend laid emphasis on the .

In justice of peace court there today, William Lefever was charged with strewing a bucket of nails and tacks along Jefferson street in a fit of anger because the employes parked around his home. He plead not guilty and was released by the court on a 325 bond. Meanwhile garages and tire shops in Berne are reported doing a "whale of a business" fixing the flats. One man counted 25 tacks and nails in the same tire. Herbert Derkkson and Ernest Cupp filed the affidavits against Lefever. Marshall Dave Dubach made the arrest —and helped gather up the tacks.

Belgian foreign minister, proposed on behalf of the three powers that the “small committee" approach China and Japan and offer its “good offices.” Count Luigi Aldrovandi-Mare-scotti of Italy objected, maintaining that the conference should merely invite China and Japan to settle their differences between themselves. This corresponds with Japan's contention that the other powers should keep their hands off and let Japan settle her own account with China. Norman H. Davis, foreign secretary Anthony Eden, and foreign minister Yvon Delbos. representing the three powers, rejected the Italian viewpoint, holding that it would mean abandonment of the nine-power treaty. Aldrovandi-Marescotti was forced to give way and the eight powers

adopted the proposal The Idea that the conference snould lend n new invitation to Japan to attend was abandoned.
