WAR AROUND THE CORNER, TERROR GRIPS EUROPE; SLASH IN ARMS FINALLY POSSIBLE Fate of Disarmament Question Is Resting- on Decision of Geneva Assembly; Resignation of Germany Looms as Probability. BY WILLfXM PHILLIP SIMMS Srrlpp-Howrd Forriin Editor WASHINGTON. Svp*. 25.—Teetering on the brink of a precipice at the bottom of which, world chancelleries unanimously agree, lurks an. other world war. Europe today is scared so badly that it actually may do something at last about disarmament. Todav, at Geneva, meets the fourteenth annual assembly of the League of Nations. Three weeks form now the world disarmament conference which adjourned last June in what appeared a hopeless deadlock, will take up where the assembly leaves off.

The coming three weeks, therefore. are expected to make or break disarmament. And because of what London newspapers Sunday called “the terrible alternative to success, the next twenty-one days may turn out to be historic. t\ S. in Lead Role The league itself faces a crisis no less momentous than when it tackled the Manchurian "war resulting in Japan's withdrawal. For unless Germany can be appeased on her demand for arms equality, she, too, almost will certainly resign. And the league can not survive man} more such blows. The United States will play an important role in the history-making j events of the next few weeks though probably not a spectacular one. not being a member of the I league. Norman H. Davis, ambas-sador-at-large, will be chief spokes- j man for this country. Germany Is Accused The position of the United States: is this: There must be disarma- j ment. Unless there is disarmament j there will be trouble. France and Germany hold the key, and if they fail to agree on some acceptable) course of action, a clash between j them is inevitable. j Germany is accused of arming, herself right now. That should be stopped, it is held, for what the j world demands is disarmament, not re-armament. But Germany win not stop unless France and the rest of her neighbors meet her demands, at least part way.

Off Season Mushrooms Doing Stuff on North Side Lawn.

DESPITE the fact that they are six months late in making their appearance, seven mushrooms have poked themselves Through the sod this week in the front yard at the home of Mrs. D. W. Ward at 817 North Pennsylvania street. As it is customary for the fungus to make its appearance only in the spring, the mushrooms are attracting considerable attention among amateur botanists in the neighborhood.

Gene La Verne Introduces Hollywood Tango on Indiana Roof. Gene La Verne, originator of the Hollywood tango, shows you the first step of the interesting dance which The Times and the Indiana roof will teach Times readers free. His partner is Jean Harlow, famous screen star. A diagram, which clearly indicates the step is also shown. Today, you are given the first step of the Hollywood tango, that will soon have “All America” stepping into romance. We suggest that you clip the instructions which you will find in The Times each day for the next six days. If you like, paste them in a scrapbook where they will be a convenient reference for your friends who do not know the new dance steps. Everybody will want to do the Hollywood tango before the winter is over. Descriptions and diagrams show the steps taken by the man. The woman, of course, simply reverses the process, as she follows the lead of her partner. A slow tango tempo is used, and you can take steps from eighteen to twenty-four inches apart, whichever is most convenient.

‘Canary Murder Case’ Burglar Suspect Denies Guilt in Wringing Neck of Chirping Bird in West Side Home.

A STRANGE case of “who killed cock robin” baffled police today as Russell Blanchard, 23. of Oakland, Cal., was held In city prison charged with a series of burglaries. Blanchard also is accused of wringing a canary bird’s neck. The little songster was found dead in his cage after the home of Arthur Poisel, 25 North Addison street, was found ransacked.

The canary had apparently been murdered when his loud chirping threatened to make known the presence of a burglar. Blanchard, arrested Sunday in an alley in the rear of the 100 block North Tremont avenue, charged with breaking into three city homes, admitted, according to police, that he had entered a house where there was a canary Sunday, but denied killing the bird. Mrs. Ida Pencheff. 3356 West Tenth street, identified Blanchard as the man who cut a screen in the rear door of her home recently and entered. He also was identified as the burglar who broke into the home of Thomas Lambere, 1846 Sharon avenue, and ate a cake and drank a bottle of beer. Police declared that Blanchard confessed to attempted burglaries

LOCAL BUDGET MAKERS FIGHT STATEACTIVITY McNutt Supporter in 1933 Legislature Employs Blunt Words. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer State administration efforts to dictate local budgets is being assailed vigorously in various counties of the state, according to reports received at the statehouse today. One of the most outspoken attacks was made at Richmond by Representative Wilfred Jessup, who fathered the McNutt administration reorganization measure at the 1933 legislative session. Both Albert Walsman of the state tax board and Keith Johns of the income tax department were in Richmond to discuss local budget making. Their advocacy of an adequate “working balance in the Richmond school budget brought the storm of criticism from Mr. Jessup. Hurls ‘Politics’ Charge He charged that the state administration’s interest in the matter was “purely political.” Mr. Jessup asserted that It was desired to build up large working balances so that the 1935 levies could be lower than those of 1934, thus giving the state administration campaign material. That there is any political tinge to what the state is doing was denied by Governor Paul V. McNutt. He declared that at Richmond they repeatedly have refused to provide adequate working balances and sre using state funds as soon as received to carry current expenses for which they were not intended. The Governor pointed out that the state has plenty of appellate power in the state tax board and that where state teacher payments have not been considered properly by local budget makers, the cuts will be made on appeal. It was in a spirit of co-operation and to instruct regarding the state payments that statehouse representatives have entered local communities to talk with the budget makers, the Governor declared. Mistaken, McNutt Says Informed of Jessup’s attack, Governor McNutt paid high tribute to him, but said he is mistaken in making the political charge. Jessup is what is known as a “Watson Democrat.” While elected to the legislature as a Democrat, he was an outspoken supporter of former Senator James E. Watson, a Republican. At the statehouse, he was an ardent advocate of the revolutionary McNutt program of law making. REVENGE FEARED IN ‘BLOOD FEUD’ DEATH Suspects in Thomas Price Slaying Guarded. By United Perns WAYNESVILLE. N. C., Sept. 25.Three men held in connection with what authorities termed “the blood feud” slaying of Thomas Price, 65, former Union Pacific railroad secretary, were guarded heavily in jail today against possible attempts at revenge. Mr. Price was shot from ambush as he rode with two companions on his mountain estate near here. A posse of mountaineers rounded up Dewey Potter, his brother Clarence and I. R. Ledford. Sheriff Jacob Lowe said Dewey Potter had confesssed. Potter had been arrested for hunting on Price’s estate and fined. Potter swore a blood feud, said Lowe. Fear that mountaineer folk, whom Price had befriended during the twenty-five summers he spent here, might attempt to lynch the prisoners, caused Lowe to post a heavy guard around the jail.
