PEACE TERMS BRING BRITISH CABINET SPLIT Laval, Likewise, Is Placed in Difficult Spot by Hernot's Stand. (Continued From Pag* On**) for these .'•hameful proposals?" asked Hugh Dalton, leading Laborite. Capt. Eden refused to answer and asked the house to wait for Thursday's debate. A usually reliable source said today that Viscount Monsell, First Lord of the Admiralty, had visited 10 Downing-st today and advised Prime Minister Baldwin to vdthdraw a large portion of the British fleet, from the Mediterranean before Christmas. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, in a series of conferences today, opened a crowded four-day calendar of events of utmost importance to every nation in Europe. The proposals which Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secretary, and Premier Pierre Laval sponsored in hope of settling the Italian-Ethiopian war assumed more importance each hour. There was every sign that division in the British cabinet over the proposals was growing, not healing. Laval faces his coalition cabinet tomorrow, knowing that Edouard Herriot. Radical Socialist leader and key man in the government,, has demanded publicly a just peace for Ethiopia. It was said authoritatively that Baldwin planned to call an emergency meeting of the entire Cabinet this evening. The Fascist grand council meets at Rome late Wednesday night and Premier Benito Mussolini is expected to reply to the proposals Thursday. Dues Drafts Reply By I II itrrf Press ROME, Dec. 16.—Premier Benito Mussolini has decided to reply Thursday to the French-British proposals for settlement of the Italian-Ethiopian war, it was said today on reliable authority. It was intimated that he has decided on his course—to reply in such manner that the plan will provide the basis for further negotiations, but to protect himself, by means of a series of counter proposals, against any seeming overenthusiasm. Ethiopians Are Bombed By l nit id PrcHt ROME. Dec. 16.—Italian aviators have resumed activity on the southern front in Ethiopia by bombing heavy Ethiopian concentrations near Neghelli, Marshal Pietro Badogho telegraphed the war office today. There was nothing to report on the northern front, he said, but minor patrol actions along the Takkase River. Mexico May Resign Bit T nitrd Pri ss PARIS. Dec. 16.—Mexico is considering resigning from the League of Nations if the Italian-Ethiopian peace plan is approved, it was understood today. It was believed possible that Lat-in-American nations would act as a unit in the League in opposing the plan, joining other groups of small nations such as the Balkan, Little and Baltic Ententes. Tn any event, there was authentic information here that Mexico considers the French-British plan so unjust in its present form that it will not countenance its acceptance in any way. HEART ATTACK FATAL TO MONTANA GOVERNOR Stricken En Route Home From Florida; Successor Named. By l iiited Press GREAT FALLS. Mont., Dec. 16 Elmer C Holt, president pro tern, of the Montana State Senate, today succeeded to the office of Governor, after the sudden death of Gov. Frank H. Cooney. Gov. Cooney, 62, suffered a heart attack while en route home from Florida and died last night in a hospital here. Gov. Cooney was elected Lieutenant Governor in 1933 when John E. Erickson resigned from the office in order to succeed the late Thomas J. Walsh in the United States Senate. Funeral services have not been announced. The widow, a daughter and two sons survive.

EXPERT DRAFTS NEUTRAL POLICY Former Wilson Aid's Plan Is Likely Basis for Congress Action. By Scripps-U award Xctcspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. —The trend of epochal neutrality legislation to be undertaken when Congress meets next month now can be forecast fairly accurately. It will follow, according to indications within the Administration, a study conducted for the State Department by Charles Warren, who, a.', assistant attorney general in President Wilson’s regime, was in charge of the enforcement of our neutrality laws. “Foreign Affairs,” ou; today, outlines his plan—which logically must follow the lines of the State Department study. Congress, according to Mr. Warren, should: 1. Righten and clarify present neutrality legislation. More Power for President 2. Broaden its scope by substituting the word “munitions” for “implements of war,” and give the President power to add to the embargo list "key materials” such as those recently named by the League of Nations. 3. Amend the law so as to give the President full discretion as to whether, and when, and on what articles, he will declare an embargo. To this extent it should be permissive. It should be mandatory, however, if and when proclaimed, that it apply to both belligerents. 4. Give the President power to refuse entrance, or to order clearance, of all merchant vessels of a belligerent containing armament or preparations for armament, or else to ti'eat them as vessels of war. “Trade at Trader’s Risk” 5. Clarify our policy on the restriction of loans and credits, on control of belligerent's actions in this country in calling out and collecting its servists, on control of radio on foreign ships in our ports, and on loss of citizenship for Americans enlisting in a foreign army. 6. Enact into law the Roosevelt policy of ’trade at the risk of the trader.’ Mr. Warren holds that with these amendments, the capacity of the United States to preserve its neutrality would be greately enhanced. But, he warns, it would be a mistake to believe it would be an absolute guarantee against being dragged into war. To insure against that, our best efforts should be bent toward preventing the occurrence of war, he says. RITES ARE ARRANGED FOR ACCIDENT VICTIM Wesley Rilev Killed in Truck Crash in Cincinnati. Funeral services are to be held tomorrow for Wesley Riley, truck driver, employed by the Inter-State Motor FYeight Service. 333 W.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

1 Those arrested were Joseph Melvin, 18, of 725 N. Alabama-st; Richard Fogelsonger, 17, of 1841 Brooksideav; Ivor Freels, 28, of 1043 S. Shef-field-av; William Delks, 23, of 529 Chadwick-st; Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Marsh, 29 and 22, respectively, 1634 Carrollton-av; Elmo Rollins, 19, of 114 S. Noble-st; Richard Schmidt, 17, of 1537 Lawton-st; Paul Reynolds, 44, Eastgate Hotel, and Mrs. Imo Hendricks, 35, rooming house operator. Os these Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Hendricks were released on bonds of SIOOO each, signed by A1 Farb, after the 10 were arraigned on vagrancy charges before Municipal Judge Charles J. Karabell and their cases continued until Dec. 24. Delks was released on SIOO bond, also signed by Farb. Judge Karabell set Marsh’s bond at SIO,OOO, after police said he probably was the leader. Bonds on Melvin, Fogelsonger and Rollins each was set at SSOOO and bonds of Freels, Reynolds and Schmidt were set at S3OOO each. Those in jail were to be questioned by police this afternoon. Melvin, Fogelsonger, Freels and Delks were arrested when Detectives Clifford Beeker and Albert Schultz halted them as they were driving in a roadster at Oliver-av and Coffey-st. Last night police raided the Marsh home on Carrollton-av and arrested Marsh and his wife, Rollins, Schmidt and Reynolds. They seized two loaded revolvers, a sawed-off shotgun and an automatic pistol. Mrs. Hendricks, who was landlady to the Marshs, was arrested when she appeared to give bond for one of the men. Police say that Fogelsonger has been identified tentatively as having participated in a holdup last week at Martinsville. DR. MORGAN URGES DIPHTHERIA GUARDS Early Use of Immunization Serums Recommended. A scattering of diphtheira cases persisting in certain sections of the city since the opening of schools led Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the city health board, to issue a statement today urging parents to protect their children against the disease. “No other disease attacking children,’ - said Dr. Morgan, “has yielded to curative and preventive measures as well as diphtheria. The mortality rate from this disease has been reduced more than 80 per cent since the discovery and administration of antitoxin in the early nineties. “In 1923 the use of immunization and vaccination serums brought another marked reduction in both case and death rate of diphtheria, indicative of the effectivity of both curative and preventive measures. “Parents therefore should not neglect protection of their children against diphtheria at an early age —preferably in the first six years oi life.” BEER. SLOT MACHINES CONFISCATED AT CLUB Man Charged With Drawing Weapon During Altercation. A lot of anti-social trouble last night at the Howard Social Club, Madison-av and Mann-rd, today resulted ir. the arrest of one man and confiscation of 104 cases of beer and three slot machines by deputy sheriffs. It seems that Edward Gaither, 729 Chadwick-st. hit on one of the slot machines, but it did not pay. He demanded his mints, or whatever it was the vending machine was vending, and he says Coy Spratt, R. R. 7, Box 204 E. shot at him. This he told to deputies at the jail. They arrested Spratt, charging him with assault and battery and with drawing deadly weapons.

DEMOCRATS ON RUN, CAMPAIGN CRYOFG, 0. P. Friction Held Likely Over Allotting of Delegates to Convention. (Continued From Page One) in such disastrous proportions. There were 1145 delegates to the 1932 convention. Although the program called for no controversial discussions, several committeemen had platform suggestions to offer. One of these came from Mr. Spangler and included: 1. Government economy through a balanced budget. 2. Sound money. 3. Division of Federal, state and local powers. 4. Retention of the protective tariff. 5. Treatment of relief as a local problem except in localities unable to cope with it. 6. Payment of the soldiers’ bonus out of the $4,000,000,000 work relief fund. Hoover Speaks Tonight By United Press ST. LOUIS, Dec. 16— Former President Herbert Hoover, speaking before the John Marshall Republican Club tonight, will make his most important political utterances of recent months, observers believed today. The former President arrived this morning with a small party. In Omaha last night Ben Allen, his secretary, indicated he would make a direct reply to President Roosevelt’s recent critical references in Atlanta to the last weeks of the Hoover Administration. Mr. Hoover is to speak on “The New Deal Further Explored—lncluding Relief,” Mr. Allen said, adding that he would defend his administration and make a detailed analysis of New Deal expenditures. George Ball Absent Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Indiana was not represented officially tod#y at the Republican National Committee meeting here. George Ball, Muncie, state national committeeman, telegraphed he would be unable to attend. The position of national committeewoman has been vacant since the death of Miss Dorothy Cunningham. Mr. Ball appointed Harrison Spangler, lowa committeeman, his proxy with instructions to vote for Cleveland as 1936 convention city.

COUGHLIN SLASHES AWAY AT CONGRESS Patronage, Appropriations Draw Priest’s Fire. By United Press DETROIT, Dec. 16.—Social justice can not be achieved until the United States elects to the Congress men who will not “bargain away our liberties for a handful of dirty patronage or a pocketful of appropriation money,” the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin charged in his regular Sunday address. “The nation,” he said, “can afford to have a mediocre President, but it is fatal to our liberties, to our progress and prosperity to be subjected to the misrepresentations of a blundering and venal Congress. The priest emphasized that “before you can drive the money changers and the industrial exploiters from the temple of America you must drive from the congressional halls at Washington those rubber stamp representatives who represent the people by protecting the racketeers of high finance. To achieve this, he added, the nation’s monetary system must be reorganized. "The wealth of the nation can not be distributed equitably if the highway over which it must pass is guarded at the toll gate of the Federal Reserve bank —a toll gate which has been built on the public highway, contrary to justice and to our Constitution.” BOARD STUDIES NEW ROUTING OF TRUCKS Building of White River Bridge Necessary Under Plan. Anew north and south truck route through the city as the first step in a master plan for heavy traffic is under consideration today by the Safety Board. The route would begin at Troyav and Keystone-av, then north to English-av, four blocks east to Rural-st, north to 25th-st, west to Keystone-av and north to White River, where a bridge would be necessary. The route then would run northwest to Baltimore-av, then follow the extension of Baltimoreav north and join with Road 431 north of Nora. Co-operation of county officials, the State Highway Department and all interested city departments will be sought before the route is adopted, it was said. U. S. HOLDS SUSPECT UNDER $25,000 BOND City Man Charged With Robbery of Federal Depository Dec. 2. Charged with robbery of a bank on Dec. 2. David Franklin Hodge. 32. of 917 E. Washington-st, waived examination today before United States Commissioner Fae W. Patrick and was held under $25,000 bond. Department of Justice agents who arrested Hodge Saturday, said two men took $612 in cash and S7OOO in bonds from the Edisto Cash Depository, a Federal depository, at Denmark, S. C. None of the loot has been recovered. Club Manager Is Honored A. E. Martin, Indianapolis Athletic Club manager, has been appointed to the advisory staff of Clubs, national monthly magazine published in the interest of town and country’ clubs. Two Rings Stolen; Loss S6OO Frank Panden, druggist, reported today to police that someone stole two diamond rings valued at *6OO from his home at 2173 N. Merid-ian-st.

Vexatious Bonus Issue Headed for Early Vote in Approaching Congress

House Must Take Up Bill in Four Weeks; Earlier Action Possible. (Continued From Page One)

House may act earlier than Jan. 13, on a compromise bill. If it doesn't, there will be an attempt to shove the Patman bill aside in favor of some measure like the Vinson bill, which would call for a direct appropriation from the Treasury. Sentiment for a paper-money bill has diminished since the American Legion went on record against an inflationary measure at its last convention. Last session, the Patman bill was substituted for the Vinson bill in the House by only 202 to 191. The stalwart minority in each branch which has stood against the tide finds itself handicapped on all sides by political pressure, which has cracked resistance here and there. Those who have weakened explain that they think the issue should be taken out of politics. President Roosevelt, so far as known, has not relented in his position and he, finally, may hold the key to the situation. By a strong veto message, the President last year whipped enough Senators into line to stop what looked like an avalanche. Legislative lieutenants of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars are claiming sufficient votes to override a veto, but, similarly, they thought they had the votes last session. They have sent out warnings against over-confi-dence and are bringing renewed pressure. Townsend Plan a Factor One complication which is worrying the bonus advocates is the implied threat of the Administration that new taxes must be imposed if the bonus bill is passed. Henry Morgenthau Jr., Secretary of the Treasury, at the last session recommended Increased inheritance and estate levies if the bonus passed. Since Congress boosted these taxes despite failure of the bonus, the Administration might have to reach elsewhere, possibly with further increases in the income tax brackets. It also seems possible that the bonus cause may be affected by the whirlwind which is sweeping up behind the Townsend Plan. For passage of the bonus might crack open the door for all sorts of special legislation, in the view of observers here, and the Townsend Plan advocates certainly are prepared to demand entry. This potentiality may give pause to some of the less determined bonusites. G. O. P. Faces Problem Republicans are likely to find themselves embarrassed in their campaign cry of “balance the budget” by espousing a measure that would add $2,000,000,000 to the public debt. This, however, does not seem in-

consistent to one of the Republican j aspirants for the presidency who is stressing the budget issue, Col. Frank Knox. He advocates paying the bonus out of the work relief fund. Another prospective candidate, | Senator William E. Borah iR., Idaho), likewise voted to over-ride President Roosevelt’s veto. So did Senator L. J. Dickinson <R, la.). Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg <R., Mich.) voted for the bonus originally but stood behind the President on the veto. Senate Republicans split, 12 to sustain the veto and 11 to over-ride. Borah Sought Inflation Senator Borah frankly supported the bonus because of its inflation- j ary aspects. He formerly opposed the payment. Likewise, both bonus leaders, Rep. Wright Patman iD, Tex.) and Senator Elmer Thomas iD„ Okla.), have pushed the bonus as an inflation vehicle and have said so publicly many times. Groups in both House and Senate take the same view. Nevertheless, practical leaders believe a straight-out measure without greenbacks must be brought forward if the fight is to succeed this time. One bill of this sort is that sponsored by Rep. Fred Vinson (D., Kv.), who may try to get the House Ways and Means Committee, of which he is a member, to vote out his bill and send it to the House before Jan. 13 to head off the Patman measure. Another measure which gained much favor toward the last of the session was the Byrnes-Steiwer bill which would move the maturity date of the bonus certificates up to 1938, with the privilege of taking a discounted value In cash before that time. This seems a likely compromise. It would be financed by direct Treasury appropriation. Administration anti-bonus forces are weakened by the fact that three leaders are up for re-election next year—Senators Joseph T. Robinson <D., Ark.), majority leader; Pat Harrison iD., Miss.), chairman of the Finance Committee, and James F. Byrnes (D., S. C.), co-sponsor with Senator Frederick Steiwer (R., Ore.) of the compromise bill. Senator Byrnes was active last session for the Patman bill. Senators Robinson and Harrison voted against it, but sought to put through a compromise drafted by Mr. Harrison. All three will be on the spot at the coming session. ELECTED BY AUXILIARY Mrs. C. W. Sharp Named President of Chiropractic Group. Mrs. C. W. Sharp of Indianapolis today is president of the auxiliary of the Central District Chiropractic Association following election last night in the Washington Hotel. Other officers named: Mrs. W. H.

MILK INCREASE FOR CONSUMER HELDJiERTAIN Date When Higher Price Is to Take Effect Seems to Be Only Question. The Indianapolis fresh milk consumers may expect an 11-cent-a----quart price this winter, but there is no accurate information as to when the boost wlil be in effect. The Indianapolis Milk Council, a distributors’ association, is to meet tomorrow to consider what shall be done to compensate for the raise the State Milk Control Board ordered them to pay the farmers The control board, after a hearing on a petition of dairy farmers for an increase from SI.BO to $2.20 a hundred pounds, decided Saturday to grant the increase. The order is effective today. There is a rumor that the distributors will ask the milk board to declare an emergency for the market area and to set the retail price 1 cent higher. However, the price will not be raised before Thursday and may not be raised until after Jan. 1. best informed members of the council say. M’NUTT CITES STATE’S INSURANCE PROTECTION Complete Code Ends Conflicting Situation, Governor Says. Protection to insurance investors afforded by new insurance laws of Indiana were discussed yesterday by Gov. McNutt in his weekly radio address. Pointing out that Indiana is the only state which has enacted a complete insurance code, the Governor said an end has been made to conflicting insurance legislation passed in hit-or-miss fashion for more than 83 years. Need for insurance protection readily can be seen, the Governor said, since people of Indiana spent more than $127,000,000 for premiums last year. 35 PERSONS INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENTS Rain-Soaked Streets Are Blamed for Traffic Toll. Thirty-five persons were treated at hospitals and in their homes today after a series of minor automobile accidents over the weekend. Rain-soaked streets were blamed for the accidents. Among the most seriously injured was Daniel Thornberry, 65, of 230 N. Jersey-st, struck by a car in the 600 block, Virginia-av„ early last night. He suffered head injuries and was “reated at City Hos--1 pital. The car was driven by Sam Rose, 40, of 4130 College-av.
