FRANCE, BRITAIN SET TO RENEW SECURITY PLEDGE AS WAR CLOUDS GATHER

Paris Foreign Minister in London to Ask British Aid if Border Is Crossed Again From Rhine. ENGLAND REPORTED READY TO AGREE Germany’s Failure to Abide by Treaties Is Menace to Peace, Empire Heads Hint as Parley Opens. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS seripp*-Ho*arl foreirn F.ditor WASHINGTON. July 9.—Hold with the uncertain shadow of Adolf Hitler still athwart an anxious Europe, the Fra neo-British conversations in London today and tomori.iw may turn out to he historic. French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou, astute oldsf hool diplomat, is in the British capital for no other purpose than to find out just what Great Britain would do if France were ajrain invaded from across the Rhine. British Foreign Secretary Sir John Simon, Acting Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, and other government spokesmen vigorously have denied reports that anew alliance with France is in the making. And nobody very much doubts they are telling the truth.

Rut thr pacts of Locarno pretty definitely Wind Great Britain to go to the aid of France should German}’ again become the aggressor, and M. Barthou plans to obtain fresh assurances that Britain intends to live up to her commitments with all their implications. The Pacts of Locarno were formulated in 1925. They were the direct result of France s insistent search for "security.” When the plan (ell through to have the United S'ates as well as Great Britain guarantee her frontiers. France tried to get Britain to act as guarantor of Germany's post-war frontiers, east and west. This likewise failed. Britain fearing entanglements in eastern Europe where she was not particularly interested. At Locarno, however, Britain agreed to guarantee the territorial status quota between France and Germany and between Belgium and Germany as laid down by the treaty of Versailles. She also made herself party to the observance of Articles 42 and 43 of the treaty, which provide for permanent demilitarized zones on both sides of the Rhine. Germany Party to Pacts 111 the light of what has happened 'inee. these commitments today amount practically to a defensive alliance between Britain on ihe one side and France and Belgium on the other. Germany was a party to the pacts of 1925. She was admitted into the league of Nations. The Rhineland was evacuated ahead of time. Sre agreed to arbitrate differences in the future between herself and France. Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia. Finally, like France, she was to receive aid from Britain in rase Belgium or France attacked her in violation of the agreement. Today Germany is no longer in the league. She quit, because she was not allowed to rearm. But she has rearmed despite the treaties, and more than once her armed troops have demonstrated in the forbidden Rhineland. Should she continue to kick over the traces. Britain would be almost obliged to act. That Britain will not enter in o any new alliance with France at this time is likely. But if she plans to honor her signature given at Locarno. she does not need to. The clever French foreign minister is going to ask point blank if she does and Britain is expected to reply equally point blank. ’ Yes." Military Forces Studied Moreover. Britain and France likely will tighten up the "technical military collaboration” which both envisage in case of trouble. French and British general staffs together will work out problems of mutual defense. Already Viscount Hailsham. British minister of war. has made an inspection tour of France, and the French General Maxim Wevgand. m England, was shown Britain's war machine in return. After which a squadron of British war planes escorted him in high honor back across the channel and set him down at Le Bougert. On the part of both sides, it was a gesture not without significance. For France, the moment is well chosen. Until recently Britain was veering toward Germany. Since the advent of Hilter. England is badly frieghtened bv the specter of war wearing the insignia of the crooked cross. She sees the histone low countries menaced—Holland as well as 3e!gium and French Flanders—and that menaces her. She is ready therefore, to talk serunty with France. Her own is threatened.

INDIANA GETS BRIEF GLIMPSE OF FIRST LADY Mrs. Roosevelt Drives On to Chicago After Spending Week-End. Unexpectedly visiting two of the; state's most famous scenic spots, j Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt played hide-and-seek with an excited Hoosier populace on a week-end motor trip through Indiana. Accompanied by Mrs. Marian j Dickerman and Miss Nancy Cook, Hyde Park (N. Y.) friends, Mrs. j Roosevelt left the state last night and continued on to Chicago. Riding in Mrs. Roosevelt's creamcolored sports roadster, the trio arrived in Indiana at the Ohio river toll bridge at Madison Saturday night. Grinning enthusiastically, William Battles, toll collector at the bridge, ushered the nation's first lady into Indiana with a refusal to accept the customary 50-cent charge. The three women drove on to Clifty Falls state park, ate a specially prepared late dinner and remained for the night. Arising early Sunday, they inquired the route to Chicago. Hotel attaches pointed out the route through Indianapolis as the shortest and providing the best highways. Word of her trip arrived at Indianapolis and excited citizens lined U. S. highway 31 between the state capital and Franklin in the hope of getting a glimpse of the famous visitor. But Mrs. Roosevelt never arrived. She next appeared at the Nashville house, quaint two-story frame hotel at the Brown county seat. There she was found by Mis. Carol Besteland, hotel manager, browsing in exhibits of native handicraft. Mrs. Roosevelt visited the Brown county art gallery, renewed acquaintances with Colonel Richard Lieber, former state conservation director, met assembled artists lounging in the hall, and bought two paintings. The trio departed on State Road 46, westward toward Bloomington. Next appearance of the party was at a roadside lunchroom at the junction of U. S. Road 40 and State Road 43, in Putnam county.

Nazi Power Growing in U. S., Probers Are Told by Dr. Moley

Rapid Spread of Influence Menaces Nation. Warns Noted Editor. B<J United Press NEW YORK, July S.—The rapid spread of Nazi influence in American institutions menaces the nation, Raymond Moley, former assistant secretary of state, magazine editor and original member of the Roosevelt brain trust, told a congressional subcommtitee today. Appearing before the McCormack committee investigating un-Ameri-can activities, Dr. Moley said that a series of articles in his magazine, Today, charging Nazis were drilling here, “understated rather than overstated” the situation. He offered to submit photographs of marching Stahlhelms, veterans with swastika armbands. “Whether an organic connection with the German government is proved or not. any organization that has the same ideas as the Nazis in Germany is a danger to our country,” he said. Dr. Moley was the first witness as the committee opened a series of public hearings. Representative John W. McCormack <Dem„ Mass.) is presiding with Representative Samuel Dickstein 'Dem.. N. Y.) and Representative J. Will Taylor (Rep., Tenn.). assisting. Walter Feiger. a German World war veteran, testified that a group of militia officers urged him to join the national guard and that he was enrolled, although he still was a German citizen without even first citizenship papers. He said he joined the American branch of the stahlhelm on the very day he arrived in this country. Six months later, he said, he enlisted in the coast artillery and was told that his German citizenship made no difference. “Did you ever take rifles home with you to drill with?” asked Mr. Dickstein. “Nein. they were six-inch guns —cannon—big like this,” answered the witness extending his arms. Food Shortage Feared By United Press BERLIN, July 9.—The Hitler government, acting under dictatorial powers, took direct action today relieve a growing food stortage in Germany.

Real Silk Head Balks at Code Authority Proposal Indianapolis Firm's Stand Considered One of Non-Co-Operation, Is Hint at Session. By Times Special WASHINGTON. July 9.—J. A. Goodman. Real Silk Hosiery Company board chairman, objected here today to a two weeks’ shutdown for all mills during July and August as part of the code authority proposal to curtail production. |

Higher wages and shorter hours also are to be discussed at the hearing being held at the Mayflower hotel. “We have just come through an eight weeks’ strike and have no surplus stocks.” Mr. Goodman told the administration board in charge of the hearing. “I am against the proposal for a two weeks’ shutdown during July and August. If the proposal is approved, our plant will ask exemption. These are the months in which we build up our stock.’’ That this stand is considered one of none-co-operation was indicated by Earl Constantine, executive director of the code authority, who told the board; “I think that if Mr. Goodman would talk to me privately, he would admit that he would want an exception made for his plant at any season.” During the discussions Mr. Constantine declared that about 80 to 85 per cent of the industry is paying the union price scale. Real Silk is in the minority group and is expected to oppose the new increased minimum wages, according to union leaders whose organization was beaten at the Indianapolis plant by the company union. Mr. Constantine urged the board to rule that there be no exceptioas made, if the two weeks' shut-down is approved.

TRIAL OF MEYER-KISER OFFICER IS LAUNCHED IN CRIMINAL COURT HERE

HURL GENERAL STRIKE THREAT IN DOCK WAR Roosevelt Mediation Board Starts Inquiry in Coast Dispute. By United Press SAN FRANCISCO. July 9.—Ominous threats of a crippling general strike loomed in San Francisco today as President Roosevelt's mediation board opened public hearings to determine true grievances of a maritime workers’ strike. The board's hearings marked first invocation of the new labor disputes act on the Pacific coast. Its activities toward settling the maritime workers’ strike involved drastic powers of the labor disputes act and may serve as a test of the act's efficiency and probably have a strong bearing on labor troubles elsewhere. Riot-ridden Pacific coast ports counted their dead at seven and injured at upward to 300 while the million-dollar-a-dav strike of 23.000 longshoremen entered its third month. Martial law prevailed along San Francisco's waterfront, storm center of the coastwide maritime -workers’ strike. National guardsmen maintained order after last week's bloody rioting. San Francisco and Oakland's strongly-organized Teamsters’ union opened the wedge of a general strike in this region. The teamsters threatened an embargo on delivery of supplies to and from the two cities’ heavy industries unless the maritime unions’ strike is settled by Wednesday night. At least eighteen of the city’s 229 unions were reported ready to join a general strike if sufficient support is obtained. Police meantime took extra precautions against renewal of violence when funerals of two strikers slain in Thursday’s sanguine disorders were held this afternoon. Union Seeks Parley By United Press MINNEAPOLIS.

Instead of carrying the decision back to the labor board, the union asked for a meeting with Employers in the hope that the differences could be ironed out. The request was expected to be granted. The move provided new hope that the dispute could be settled before 8 p. m. Wednesday, which the union has made the “zero hour.” Sixty Hurt in Clash By United Press BRIDGETON. N. J..

Mr. Prior wants to apply to the court of appeals for an appeal from last week's decision by County Judge Earl Gallup in Albany. ‘BY-DRINK’ ACT IS FOUGHT BY DEALERS National Association Takes; Up Cudgels in State.

HOME EDITION PRICE TWO CENTS Outside Marion County, 3 Cent#

The four men named in the indictment showed a marked dislike for the publicity attending the trial and, even before court formally had been convened, asked Judge Gavins to bar newspaper photographers from taking pictures in the courtroom. He did so. The three accused with Mr. Cohn are Sol Meyer, president of the bank; Ferdinand S. Meyer, vicepresident. and Julian J. Kiser, a third vice-president. All are directors. The first move their attorneys made this morning was to move for separate trials. These granted, the state elected to try Mr. Cohn first and the process of trying to obtain a jury satisfactory to both state and defense began. Special Panel Summoned A special panel of seventy-five prospective jurors had been summoned. It became apparent at once that it would be difficult to find juror3 without opinions on banks and bankers. While none said exactly what these opinions were, many of them admitted that they had decided views on the case at hand. Frank Schuster, 6904 East Troy avenue, president of the Troy Oil Company and the first veniremen called, said he had read all about the case, had talked about it and had formed an opinion on it. He added, that while he had not lost money in the Meyer-Kiser bank, he knew people who had and he himself had lost in another institution. Excused at Once Hp was pxcuseri at once. So was Joseph Secher, Twenty-fifth street and Hawthorne lane, who followed him with almost the same answers. The charge against Mr. Cohn and the three to be tried later is that they paid a dividend of $37.50 to one Albert Blue, a stockholder in the Fralich Realty Company of Gary, described by the state as a subsidiary of the bank, when the company was not making money. Stock in this company was sold extensively through the bank with income guaranteed, the state charges. Allen Shaw, 40 North Oakland avenue, excused just before the luncheon recess, informed the court that he had had an opinion on the case since the bank closed. "I didn't lose any money, but it was only because I was smart enough to get it out before the crash,” he said. ‘‘A friend of mine lost a lot.” Mr. Shaw was excused. CUTS WIFE'S THROAT. THEN SLASHES SELF “She Done Me Wrong,” Husband Charges After Knifing. Charging, “She done me wrong,” Wilbur Coffman, 40, 1229 West New York street, cut the throat of his wife, Maude Coffman, and then slashed his own throat today. Both were taken by police to city hospital, where their conditions were reported serious. Coffman told police that he returned last night from Kentucky and was ordered out of the house by Mrs. Coffman, who said that she had anew man and never wanted to see him again.
