LONDON. PARIS SPLIT ON PLEA FOR SANCTIONS Britain Reported to Have Rejected French Demand for Penalties. (Cnniintied From Page On*) Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, was said to be iirpting the British cabinet to pursue efforts for a compromise with Germany and his presence at the 1,0-carno carno inerting today disquieted the French 'bitter-enders’’ Tho French and Russians were even more indignant over the attitude of the Labor Party, which they privately rharge with being overfriendly to Germany. Reference was made to the Laborite Daily Herald’s agitation for conciliation with Hitler. Private advices from Berlin reported growing uneasiness among members of the general staff, who fear the French might invade the Rhineland. Locarno Action Forecast H<! I nitftt I'n m LONDON, March 13. -Members of the League Council expressed the opinion after private discussions today that the council would decide Germany had forfeited the benefits of the Locarno Treaty, whereas France and Belgium continue to enjoy the guarantees of Britain and Italy under the treaty. Thai would convert the treaty into a virtual military alliance of Brilain, It?’-, France and Belgium in the event of German aggression against France and Belgium. Russia for Firm Policy Pm I nilnl I'm* MOSCOW, March 13.—Europe’s best course is determined resolution to rnnnnre Germany that if she attacks any nation she will have to deal with the other nations at once, informed Russian quarters said today, Russian leaders viewed with the utmost satisfaction the ratification of the Russian-French military alliance bv the French parliament. The tremendous majority by which the hill passed <231 to 52), it was said, was the best, possible answer to German aggression. If Adolf Hitler is convinced that all Europe will act in event of an attack by Germany, it was argued, perhaps he will refrain from attack. Russian leaders are not convinced that Hitler will not start a war. But they hope that some German circles may be influenced by the conviction that if Germany starts a war she will have to fight a united Europe. Pravda, official Communist organ, said in its comment today: Ratification of the Russia nFrcnch treaty is proof that Hitler’s machinations do not, deceive and that by the utmost vigilance and the firmness which friends of peace must show aggressors, nobody will be allowed to make attempts on the lives and security of European peoples.” All France United JUi I nih il Press PARIS, Marcli 13.—France was united today in a demand for strong penalties against Germany for its reoccupation of the Rhineland. She was confident that the military strength of allies as pledged in mutual assistance pacts, will furnish a perfect, chain of defense against any eventuality. Ratification of the Franco-Soviet treaty yesterday not only created a tremendous military cordon of French allies but also emphasized the solidarity of French political leaders and opinion of every class. With that pact now awaiting omy tiie signature of President Albert Lebrun and routine ratification by Russia, France felt free to maintain mote strongly than ever its stand that the League take formidable financial and economic action against Germany.

Hitler Ponders Problem Fit in Ini Print FERLIN, March 13.—Germany fard today (lip decision whether to sacrifice her much-vaunted national pride to political expediency, to withdraw indignantly into a nationalistic shell, or to leave the way open for further international cooperation. The problem was made harder because, back of the assertions that occupation of the Rhineland was necessary to her sovereignty and honor, were two cold facts: 1. Adolf Hitler wants to co-oper-ate with other nations because he believes that Germany's honor has been restored and the time has come for Germany to join in Europe's councils. 3. By international co-operation lie hopes to attain the next item on his program—restoration of colonial territory, which is possible only by co-operation and membership in the League of Nations. Public opinion here was outraged by what is called the further "T 'g-headed discrimination" of W..rid War victors at London. Germany has a total of 30.000 soldiers in the Rhineland, the propaganda ministry informed the United Press. Seize Austrian Nazis />'•/ I rifrd Pret* VIENNA, March 13.—Scores of Austrian Nazis, including Ferdinand Kernmaier. former governor of Carinthia and professors and lawyers, were arrested in Ftyria and Carinthia provinces today. Police asserted they had information that a Nazi unit at Klagenfurt had received money from Germany. Calls War Inevitable Bn i a ‘rri I'rm, HOLLYWOOD. March 13.- War in Europe is inevitable and America's best cue is to ignore "even what would normally be considered humiliating circumstances" to avoid being dragged into it. Webb Miller, noted war correspondent, said. Addressing members of the Sigma Delta Chi at the Writers’ Club last night, the United Press’ European news manager, who recently returned from the northern front of the Intalo-Ethiopian War, emphasized that the gravest European crisis since the World War has arisen as result of Adolf Hitler's remilitarizing of the Rhineland.

AIDS HUNTED IN $348,000 THEFT Suicide of Suspect in Detroit Plot Leads to Probe. By United Press DETROIT. March 13.—The looting of $349,000 from city trust funds and the suicide of Harry M. Tyler, city budget director whom police say stole the money, precipitated an investigation today for possible accomplices. The discovery of Tyler's body was made by Mayor Frank Couzens, Special Police Inspector John Hoffman, assigned to an inquiry into the shortage of city funds, and a group of detectives. Tyler had helped city officials since Wednedsay in searching for the missing funds. Some Reported Taken in 1931 Part of the solen money, police revealed, was money said to have been taken in 1931 by Alex Lewis, welfare thief, now serving a prison term. The portion of the money stolen by Lewis and allegedly restolro by Tyler totaled $106,792. Tyler had been assigned to the task of recovering the money at the time of the Lewis theft. The shortage in funds was revealed accidentally when City Treasurer Albert E. Cobo opened a letter, addressed as personal rather than as a business communication. The shortage was in trust funds at the National Bank of Detroit. The investigation began when Cobo notified Mayor Couzens of the shortage. Mayor Couzens, Inspector Hoffman and detectives went to Tyler's home last night. His body was found in an arm chair with a bullet hole in the head and a .38ca liber pistol lay near by. Police seized several documents to be used in the investigation. Inspector Hoffman announced that there was "no doubt” about Tyler's guilt.

Assembly May Adjourn on Wednesday, Belief; House Completes Action

Lower Branch Passes Job Insurance, Health Measures. (Continued From Pace One) that "you might as well put m a provision against interference with the planetary system.” Repeal Bill Offered As initial amendment of the bill proceeded, one Senator brought upon himself the laughter of his colleagues for his ineptitude in following the proposed amendments. He kept objecting that he could not find the lines referred to by the reading clerk. It developed he was using the employment compensation bill instead of the welfare bill. Property tax reduction followers heard an answer to their prayers when the Senate introduced bills. Senators Larry Brandon, Auburn, and Alanson E. Albright, Cayuga, both Democrats, offered a bill to repeal all property taxes. After some heated discussion on Senator Mcßride's “home rule” move on poor relief, the amendment was adopted on a roll call vote of 39-8. Large Votes Piled Up The administration measures encountered little opposition in the House, the unemployment insurance bill being adopted 66 to 25 and the public health bill carrying by 74 to 14. Eight Republicans joined the Democrats in passing the job insurance bill, its chief change as proposed by the joint legislative committee that drafted the legislation is an amendment barring comcompensation for strike breakers and providing benefits in strikes where the employer is held at fault. One Democrat, Rep. John C. Kirch. Indianapolis, voted against the bill, but did not explain his vote. A bill to pay the joint legislative committee $6 a day lost in an Gnusual exhibition of vote switching. The measure seemed safe with 55 votes in favor to nine opposed when Rep. Henry J. Richardson (D„ Indianapolis) suggested that most of the negative votes were coming from members of the joint committee be-

cause they were too 'gentlemanly' to vote in favor. This angered Rep. Joseph A. Andrew <R... Lafayette*, and Rep. Fred E. Barrett <D.. Indianapclis' who had served on the committee. They said that Rep. Richardson was no authorized to explain their vote. Immediately members began jumping up all over the floor to change their votes with the result that final tabulation saw the measure defeated, 52 to 32.

Six measures and several resolutions were tassed into the hopper, all of them probably scheduled to die in the committees to which they were assigned. Introduction of bill? in the tipper house came shortly after an unsuccessful attempt was made to revive the gross income tax repeal issue. Senator Ralph N. Jernegan <R., Mishawaka), the repealer author. moved the bill be brought from committee. He lost when the motion was tabled on a voice vote. Sunday Liquor Bill Up The gross income repealer is the legislative “pet” of the Indiana retailers who Wednesday staged a demonstration before the Assembly in favor of repeal action. The Lake County delegation, comprising Senators Raymond Sohl. Daniel Lynch and Frederick Eichorn, introduced a Sunday liquor sale bill similar to that already buried in a House committee. Other Senators said the bill is a ‘‘home consumption” measure and will receive no consideration.
