ARMS PARLEY I FACES PERIL IN FACTION FIGHTS 1 ‘Straying From Elementals j Is Major Problem of Session. Followln* Is Ihf second article of a **les outlining the problems which will ••nfront the coming disarmament conference. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD L'nlted Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.—The coming world disarmament conference must hew its way through a tnaze of technicalities and stick to dementals if it is to succeed. This is the opinion of informed officials here as they prepare lor the grand finale to the decade of preliminary disarmament efforts, ! which probably will be held in Europe early in 1932. The elemental;: of disarmament, os seen by officials here, embrace restriction of: 1. Soldiers and guns; 2, fighting ships, and 3, war planes. The draft treaty recently completed by the preparatory conference adheres fairly closely to these essentials. But at the real conference this draft may be abandoned and the ' brain-fagging task of matching re- I serve troops, civil aircraft industry, j agriculture and everything bearing j on national defense may be begun j again. Method Is Considered The United States, it can be predicted with reasonable certainty, will fight to hold the conference discussions to real military and naval armament. Ambassador Hugh Gibson, chief American delegate to the preliminary conferences, expressed his Impatience with the thesis that the Weather, livestock, and terrain of each country, as these things bear on nation defense, must be compared. He termed it “the fog, hog and bog” theory. Granted agreement on a method of disarmament, the conference then will consider limiting or reducing armies, navies and air forces. In the naval realm, the FrancoItalian dispute over parity is the most pressing problem, observers believe. Italy holds out for parity, which France is unwilling to grant. France is agreeable to equal strength in the Mediterranean, if ;he may have additional ships in the Atlantic, Italy replies France can easily transfer warships from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean if the two should fight. This localized quarrel affects the United States, Great Britain and Japan, all of which might have to increase their navies if these two begin a building race. Aviation a Problem The Washington treaty, limiting capital ships among the five great naval powers, and the London agreement of three of them to limit auxiliaries, will Ibe written into the treaty, though the figures may ba changed. There still remains the naval limitation problem of the small nations. They, observers say, do not earn how many ships the United States or Great Britain may build. But they are very much concerned over the sea power of neighboring nations. National prestige ia involved. Observers find that military aviation is such anew arm of fighting that to limit it is baffling. For years the preparatory commission discussed w’hether civil planes and pliots, as well as military, should bo counted in a nation’s air strength. In the draft treaty, they agreed to limit only the horsepower and number of military aircraft. Statesmen admit such limitation is imperfect; that civil planes undoubtedly can be put to military use. rVet no nation, apparently, is willing to block the progress of commercial aviation. ftOTED ACTRESS DEAD Ethel Grey Terry Prominent on ;Stage and Screen for 20 Years.

Colors Snappier, Lines More Dashing in 1931 Auto Models

New Combinations Strike Gotham Show Visitors Smack in the Eye. BY ISRAEL KLEIN Science Editor, NEA Service NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—'Hiere may be quite radical improvements in construction of the new 1931 automobiles, but take it from the display of some 300 models at the auto show here, it will be color and line that will strike the eye and the heart of the motorist. Mechanical improvements and novelties, of course, are many and striking. The new sixteen cylinder aluminum-motored Marmon, the adoption of free-wheeling by four cars in addition to Studebaker, additional transmission developments by such cars as Oldsmobile, Oakland and Willys, the new midget automobile Mathis and sturdier construction of bodies, are representative of the developments along this line. But take the show all in all, and it is color and line that strike the observers here. Colors Are Snappier Color seems to tend toward the more snappy and striking combinations, much more so than heretofore. And the lines flow in a more sweeping abandon, showing a greater liberty taken by artists this year. There is both a vertical and a horizontal line tendency, the vertical being confined for the most part in front, and the horizontal line extending all the way along the length of the car. Examples of the vertical line effect are best seen in the new Auburn, the Oldsmobile, the Hupp, Chrysler, Willys-Knight and Willys 8, Oakland, Pontiac, Studebaker, Packard and a few others. On all of these, the radiators are lengthened and narrowed down somewhat, some in a sort of V, so that they seem to be cradled in the trough formed by the two sweping fenders. Radiators Run Deeper In the majority of cases the radiators run deeper and narrower, and in one or two cases even the headlights are no longer circular, but oval-shaped, in order to accentuate thi% vertical line effect. V-type radiators further add to the same effect of heightening a rather low front. Willys-Knight and Chrysler are most marked in this design. This is one of at least two design features in the new cars that bring the automobile of 1931 back to the age of such long-for-gotten car models as the Premier and such past designs as that of the Franklin of five or more years ago. The Premier, for instance, is recognized in the board radiator shell of the new Chrysler with its downward curve toward a point in front. And the old Franklin design is seen in the tendency toward a Vtype windshield, practically two glass frames converging toward the center of the cowl or dash. Reo Rounds Out Front Another striking line effect is that of Reo, which has discarded the outer sun visor and rounded out the front of the top to form a

sweeping, dashing curve from windshield to rear of the body. Radiator caps have been thinned down almost to nothing, only ornaments taking their place and the opening to the cooling system being relegated to beneath the hood. The ornaments also are modernistic, speedy and snappy. That of the Buick 8 is an example. Anew idea in ornaments is that of the Dodge, with the well-known emblem not only in front of the radiator, but like a button at the head of a uniquely designed radiator cap. Headlights are tending toward bullet, or torpedo, shape, although the extreme of almost a flat-shaped headlight still may be seen in the Nash. Cowl lights are being moved forward to the front fenders. Extremes in Design Two extremes in line design are the special Franklin convertible phaeton, with its doors extending all the way down below the floor of the body to the running board, and the special Cord roadster built along the lines of a speedboat, or somewhat like the special racer Kaye Don brought here for his Daytona speed trials last year. These cars also are the extremes of color designs tried out by the manufacturers this year. They show vid contrasting colors, like a deep cream opposed to a henna red. But generaly, the color schssie is a dull red, blue or green with mouldings of the next tone of red, blue or green. Only one new automobile Is shown here, the American Mathis, practically a reproduction of its European parent. Strange to say, this newcomer has been placed alongside the car that will be its chief competitor in the American market, the Bantam Austin. The Mathis is slightly larger than the Austin, however, and costs about SSO more. FOURTEEN CITY BANKS TO GET STATE FUNDS Amount of Deposits Not Announced at Selection. Fourteen Indianapolis ‘banks are included in the list selected by the state finance board as depositories of state funds. Selection was made Tuesday in the office of Floyd E.

GIRL'S BIRTHDAY SPENT IN PLANE ON RECORD HOP Bobby Trout Will Receive ' Birthday Cake, but She's on a Diet. By United Press LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7.—New world records were the only birthday presents Miss Bobbie Trout expected today as she and her copilot, Edna May Cooper, soared over municipal airport in the monoplane Lady Rolph adding hour after hour to their new refueling endurance record for women. Miss Trout was 25 today. A birthday cake was promised her by the ground crew, but she and Miss Cooper said they would only look at it. A strict diet outlined by a physician at the field would not premit even them to bite into the frosting and so the cake, he said, must remain uneaten until they return to earth. One of the most interested spectators a,t the field Tuesday when the two girls equaled the former unofficial mark for women of 42 hours 16 minutes was Carl Cooper, 9-year-old son of Miss Cooper. Even close friends of the former motion picture actress were unaware that she had been married, and airport officials professed no knowledge of the name of her former husband, other than that lie was a Texas man. Miss Cooper has recovered from Burns about the face, received while refueling Tuesday noon. The refueling hose pulled loose from the tank and sprayed her with gasoline. Near collapse with the gasoline in her eyes, nose and mouth, Miss Cooper lay down on her air mattress while the refueling plane raced to the ground for salve and bandages. The first aid equipment, lowered to her in a sack, soothed the girl’s burning face, and after a four-hour rest she was able to resume the refueling operations.

Frank and John to Catch Up on His Sleep in Cell By L'wifed Press CHICAGO. Jan. 7.—For weeks Frank Eckhart has had no time to sleep, but for the next year he will have little time to do anything else. Eckhart was employed by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company as day watchman at $42 a week. He was authorized by the company to hire a night watchman. He hired John Richard*. After many weeks it was discovered that Frank Eckhart. day watchman, and John Richards, night watchman, were the same man. At the end of each day, Eckhart changed his name and his time clock and each Saturday drew SB4 pay instead of $42. “Perhaps you and Richards should have a year each in jail, but 111 make it just a year for you. and a $25 fine—for Richards,” ruled Judge Alfred Erickson in sentencing Eckhart for obtaining money under false pretenses.

SUIT OVER DRY RAIDJILIFIED Agents Win First Tilt in Action for Damages. Demurrer to the $25,000 damage suit filed against four special prohibition agents of the department of justice, charging malicious prosecution and insult during a dry raid, was sustained Tuesday by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell. Judge Baltzell’s ruling virtually nullifies the suit unless an amended petition is filed. The defendants, Bennett F. Hargrove Jr., chief of special agents, and his operatives, Oliver J. Gettell, John H. Wyman and Joseph H. Denny, were sued as the result of a liquor raid made on the residence of James Angelo, 3738 North Illinois street, Angelo charging the agents searched his home without finding liquor, frightened his wife and children and caused the family to be held up co the ridicule of neighbors. The demurrer, prepared by Telford B. Orbison, assistant United States attorney, pointed out the agents were acting on a search warrant prepared by a United States commissioner. WINKLER HEADS AGENCY Claude M. Worley Partner in New Detective Venture. Formation of a detective agency by Claude M. Worley, former police chief, and George L. Winkler, former sheriff, was announced today following filing of incorporation papers with the secretary of state. Winkler is president of the Wor-ley-Winkler Agency. John Darmody, business associate of Worley’s in other enterprises, is vice-presi-dent, and Worley is secretary.

BANKER GIVES ADVICE FOR ’3l Moderation Is New Year’s Need, Says Woollen. Courage and moderation is a lesson to be learned from past difficulties as business faces the new year, Evans Woollen, president of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, said today in a statement of conditions of the company to shareholders. “We came to the end of the year with business something like a third below that of the peak in ’29, prices still declining, nearly a pre-war level,” he said. “Facing the new year, effort to learn a lesson from adversity seems more important than effort to predict the unpredictable. “The lesson to be learned can be expressed in the word—moderation.”

POLICE ‘TRAP’ CHARGE AIRED BEFORE HOUSE Linthicum Repeats His Allegations in Speech to Congress. By Times Bpccial WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Reiteration cf his charges gov* ernment d°liberately entrapped six Indianapolis policemen recently found guilty in federal court of conspiracy with bootleggers, was made Tuesday in the house by Representative J. Charles Linthicum, Maryland, anti-prohibitionist. Linthicum said he had received a number of letters from Indianapolis residents containing the open charge that “prohibition operators in cooperation with the United States district attorney at Indianapolis, set out to build a sensational police scandal by the establishment of a speakeasy in that city.” The Maryland legislator referred again to the fact that government money was used to open a poolroom at 1213 East Twenty-second street in Indianapolis, where the alleged acts of conspiracy were committed. He read into the record, a letter from Russell B. Harrison. Indianapolis, son of the former President, and quoted from a letter from Amos W. W. Woodcock, national prohibition administrator, which asserted government agents were within their legal rights in using federal money to establish the speakeasy as a place of contact.
