BACK BRITTEN IN MOVE FOR ARMS^ARLEY Naval Committee Supports Chairman After Reply From Baldwin. Bii United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—'The House naval affairs committee today unanimously supported Chairman Britten’s proposal for a limitations of arms conference between { pe United States and Great Britain. It adopted a resolution by Representative Vinson (Dem.), Georgia, that the “committee reiterate its often expressed desire to extend the 5-5-3 ratio principle of the Washington agx-eement to all classes of naval ships.’’ The resolution indorsing the arms limitation idea did not, however, carry with it actual indorsement of Britten’s method of approaching Premier Baldwin of English directly instead of through customary diplomatic channels. The indorsement resolution followed Britten’s exposition of the Baldwin incident to the committee together with disclosure of Baldwin’s reply, which Britten characterized as leaving the door open for anew conference. Britten Explains Representative Andrews (Rep., Mass.), said adoption of the resolution would not impede the cruiser bill pending in the senate. Britten told the committee that, in communicating with Baldwin, he was under the impression that the prime minister’s statement last November advocating more frequent personal discussions between American and British representatives applied to representatives of the people and not to diplomats. He explained his communications were intended to be private, but that Baldwin’s reply said the premier was speaking not of the legislators, but of executives. Vinson asked if it would not be proper to suggest to the President hat he call anew limitations conference between the five leading powers. ‘Other Nations Should Do It’ Britten replied he believed some other nation would call a meeting before 1931 as the last Coolidge conference failed and such a resolution might embarrass the President. The Coolidge conference will be •epeated in 1931. so it would be bet•?r for Prance, Italy, Japan or England to call a conference to -’over ships not already in the Washington treaty, Britten said. “I 'o not think we should suggest it W the President. His Armistice day '■peech clearly showed disappointment at failure of the nations to get together.’’ EPWORTH LEAGUES TO HOLD DISTRICT RALLY South Sub-Division Plan3 Meeting For Wednesday Night.

20 New Snow Plows Added to State Highway Fleet

Indiana Soon to Be Ready for Biggest Storms of Winter. Twenty additional snow plows are to be added to the fleet of fortyone now owned by the state highway department and Indiana will be ready for the biggest snow storm that the winter has to offer, A. H. Hinkle, maintenance superintendent, announced today. The plows are to be spotted at strategic points throughout the state, ready for action as soon as the snow gets heavy enough to threaten blocking the roads. Hinkle today received a comparative statistical chart on snow removal covering thirty-six states, compiled by the federal bureau of public roads. It shows that Indiana’s snow removal cost was lower than any of the surrounding northern states, although the total expended by the department for this

—the Herbert Schiff trophy, he refused to become a hero. “Just routine,” he repeated. “With airplanes built like bridges, as they are today, and with the government’s rigid requirements for air pilots, no one should fear air travel. “And,” as he gallantly deflected the spotlight from himself, “why shouldn’t I have .that record, with W. E. Leland, the best machinist mate in the navy taking care of my ship?” That’s the way this “safety ace” dismisses the honor and says that any one of several pilots he knows might as easily be standing before President Coolidge Dec. 15, receiving the cup. He will fly across the country to Washington, D. C., for the ceremony.

purpose was $18,668 during the winter of 1927-28. “Our department assures the public that the more than 4,000 miles of state roads will not be snowbound,” Hinkle explained. “Last year, however, we were not prepared for the unprecedented storm that covered the Calumet region. It was that experience that caused us to decide to add more plows this year. “The Dunes highway was blocked completely for seven miles. It cost us about SSO a mile to reopen it.” The federal figures for Indiana, which were compiled by the state highway department, does not include cost of equipment. They show that the average maximum and minimum of snowfall last winter was 13.6 for the litter and 61.3 for the former. Eight hundred and eight trucks and 115 tractors are available for snow removal the figures show. Snow was removed from 2,836 miles. Illinois spent $184,196; Ohio, $132,218; lowa, $285,914; Michigan, $517,118, and Wisconsin, $492,9011.
