SENATE VOTES YULE TRUCE ON KELLOGG PACT Leaders Ready to Resume Struggle Over Peace and Navy After Holidays. SENATE Takes up calendar bills. Interstate commerce committee continues hearings on three nominations to the interstate commerce commission. Military affairs committee considers calendar bills. HOUSE Meets to take np routine business. Foreign affairs committee considers calendar simplification resolution. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. A Christmas armistice prevailed in congress today. But adherents of the anti-war treaty and proponents of the naval cruiser bill were glaring across the senate aisles ready to resume their fight over precedence on the measures as soon as they come up again, Jan. 3. Odds and ends of the legislative calendar of both houses are being cleaned up in the meantime, preparatory to adjourning for the Christmas recess Saturday. Many senators and representatives are departing for their homes leaving only the leaders on guard to care for the less improtant matters. Truce Over Holiday The bitter contest for precedence between the treaty and the navy bill was postponed over the holidays by the unanimous consent agreement made in the senate late Thursday. It provided both should be considered the unfinished business when the senate reconvenes, the treaty in open executive session and the bill in the regular session. When the senate reconvenes, Chairman Borah of the foreign relations committee will seek to force consideration of the treaty by sidetracking the navy bill for that purpose. House Calendar Cleared The navy bill Jeaders intend to fight for preservation of their measure in the prior position, contending it is the first of the two measures mentioned in the agreement. No one entirely was satisfied by the agreement but it was adopted merely to prevent continuance of a filibuster against the naval bill, so the senate could transact other business. Senate leaders hoped to spend the remaining time before adjournment on some 800 bills which have accumulated on the calendar during the two weeks of the session. The house had its calendar fairly well cleaned up. End for City Judge Office ELWOOD, Ind.. Dec. 21.—The city council plans to abolish the office of city judge because fees paid in to it are not sufficient to meec expenses. An ordinance abolishing the office passed unanimously on first reading by the council.

GRETA LEAVES U. S.
Film Star Hushes Her Departure
1■ x |
Greta Garbo .... her name was Gustafson on the passenger list
BY GENE COHN NEA Service Writer NEW YORK. Dec. 21. —Miss Greta Gustafson or so her name appeared upon the passenger list, sailed for her homeland the other day. And very quietly, without benefit of cameras or newspaper reporters. For Greta Garbo, who had come to these shores as Greta Gustafson, was seeking a long rest from the public eye. It was the first time since she landed upon these shores that Greta had turned her steps toward her native Stockholm. Two Deaths Sadden Her It was a sad home going. Her sister had died during the brief years wherein Greta Gustafson became one of the screen’s more demanded sirens. More recently Marice Stiller had died—Stiller, who had discovered her and first made an actress of her; Stiller, who had come to America crowned as one of the

world’s great directors and who had gone quietly home because, for those strange reasons best known to the film world, his work was disliked on this side of the water. Star Goes Quietly And, believe it or not, Greta Garbo traveled from Hollywood to Manhattan without being discovered by newspapers or fans. She left Hollywood secretly, taking the name of Alice Smith. She swore the publicity departments to secrecy and registered in Chicago under the name of Smith. If the hotel recognized her they kept her secret. Arriving in New York she avoided the costly hotels usually frequented by the film stars and took modest quarters—still under the name of Smith. Wher she arranged passage, it was under her real name—Gustafson. Experiments are now being made in England with a view to finding a suitable substitute for cotton.

was to dispose of the stolen securities. Police of the United States, Germany and Austria co-operated in solving the mystery. An amazing plot whereby a clever gang, disguised as members of the Leviathan’s crew, got access to the mail sacks while the ship was at sea, was suggested. The work was cleverly done, and when the Leviathan arrived at Southampton, the mail sacks still were sealed and apparently untouched. It was not until the mail was opened for distribution in England and France that the robbery was discovered. At first it was insisted that the robbery must have occurred before the mail was put abroad the liner in New York, and fake seals substituted. Today’s announcement indicated that the robbery was committed while the liner was crossing the Atlantic. Berlin police said today that Friedrich Rybar, who was arrested in Vienna on Dec. 1 charged with
trying to sell bonds of the Tokio Electric Light Company, which were included in the Leviathan loot, was acting on behalf of Walter Ringer, alias Long, a German stoker on the Leviathan. Long disappeared from Antwerp on Dec. 1, police claimed. George Diederich, a Berlin postal offic al, mailed a photograph of Ringer to the Leviathan for identification. It reached the ship just as she was
