MARCH 14,1936.

SANCTIONS ARE DEMANDED BY FRANCE AS COUNCIL OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS MEETS Invitation to Attend Sessions Is Sent German Government, But Some Believe Adolf Hitler Will Refuse. (Continued From Page One)

din, Rumanian Foreign Minister Titulescue and Turkish Foreign Minister Tewflk Rusti Aras insisted that German acceptance involve assumption of League membership obligations. They won their point despite the fact that Germany was invited as a signatory of the Locarno Treaty. At its session Monday afternoon, if Germany does not attend, it will be for the council to start the machinery of condemning Germany in the League's name and considering whether to proceed to penalize her under a resolution passed last April when Hitler first violated the Versailles Treaty by reintroducing compulsory army service. Nations Represented It must vote Germany guilty of treaty violation and ask the Locarno powers to recommend a course of action. France will be satisfied with nothing less than penalties unless Hitler capitulates. Fourteen nations were represented by delegates at a great chestnut horseshoe table in the Queen Anne drawing room of old St. James’ Palace where King Charles I spent the night before his execution. Belgium attended, in addition, as a signatory of the Locarno Treaty. Stanley Bruce of Australia, as president of the council, opened the meeting. France and Belgium, he said, demanded the meeting by telegram after the Rhineland occupation. Treaty Breach, Says Eden “This meeting has been summoned in response to the requests by the French and Belgian governments,” he said, “and it is now our duty to consider these communications.” Then Anthony Eden of Britain spoke as delegate of the hast of nation. “In our view,” he said, “a patent and incontestible breach of the treaties of Versailles and Locarno has been committed.” He promised the “absolute co-op-eration of his majesty’s government to establish peace and understanding between the nations of Europe on a firm basis.” Then Paul Van Zeeland of Belgium rose quietly and made the most moving speech of the day, speaking softly and almost sadly. No Excuse, He Repeats Belgium, he pointed out, had no part in the French-Russian alliance which was Germany’s excuse for the Rhineland move. Yet German troops are on Belgium’s frontier, too. “Belgium,” he said, “never gave Germany the slightest excuse to repudiate Locarno.” He said that his country was ready to participate in European reconstruction. In talking of Germany he said that his country appealed to the council “in a spirit of profound sadness, without bitterness.” Then Flandin of France made his speech. It was brief, delivered slowly and clearly, without dramatic gestures. He asked the council to take official note that Germany has broken the Rhineland articles of Versailles, thus permitting guarantors of the Locarno Treaty to support France and Belgium. He asked also that the League give its support by recommending measures to League members. These measures he envisaged are economic and financial benalties. No Reply From Germany If the council followed the course France asked it would: 1. Formally recognize the treaty violations charged. 2. Notify Britain and Italy as Locarno guarantors and so obligate them to give immediate aid to France and Belgium. 3. Consider economic and financial penalties such as those imposed on Italy for its war on Ethiopia. After Flandin's speech the council held a secret session on the invitation to Germany. Joseph A. Avenol, secretary general of the League, informally invited Germany to attend today’s meeting. Germany did not reply. Hence the councillors had to decide the manner in which to send a formal invitation for the records Great Britain asked that the invitation be sent under Article XVII of Versailles, covering disputes between League members and non-League members Germany would prefer this course The invitation was drafted and dispatched at once and the delegates began to talk of the action they ought to take in using the week-end for secret negotiations and at Monday afternoon's council meeting Fear Hitler May Refuse That Germany was invited at all was considered a victory for peace. Council members believe that if Germany accepts the tone of debate will be softened and negotiation of

a friendly settlement—that will turn a crisis into a peace consolida-tion-will be made easier. Opinion differed whether Germany would accept. Some council members believed that Britain already had assurances in secret that Germany would accept. Others feared that Germany would be angered because the invitation was sent not under the League covenant but Locarno. Under the covenant, any action would be delayed: under Locarno immediate action is provided. More Troops to Border Sy United Perss PARIS, March 14.—Further reinforcement of troops guarding France’s fortified eastern frontier will be recommended by an army subcornmission, the Paris Soir reported today. Strasbourg reports said the subcommission, now inspecting troops in the eastern fortifications, would report to the full army commission Wednesday. Recommendations for reinforcements will be made on the grounds that 60,000 German troops in the Rhineland represent only a part of Germany’s actual strength on the frontier. Soir said that 35,000 Rhineland garrison police and 20,000 of Prussian Premier Herman Goering’s state police are augmenting the military forces moving into the remilitarized zone. In addition, the newspaper reported, 5000 Nazi Storm Troops must be counted, as well as 200.000 men in the labor corps and the Schutz Abteilung—the elite of the Storm Troops. 1915 Class to Colors Hi/ United Press ROME, March 14.—Italy today called her 1915 class of conscripts to the colors. The troops will report for service April 15 in accordance with previously announced schedules. Officials said the summons was routine since normally the spring enrollment of conscripts also falls on April 15. Czechs’ Stand Is Cautious By United Press GENEVA, March 14. —Czechoslovakia, well-informed sources said today, will decline to join with France in any military action against Germany unless the Reich makes an armed attack on France. This attitude, which coincides with Britain’s conception of her obligations under the Locarno treaty, created considerable surprise here, particularly because of the Little Entente’s repeated assurances that it stands firmly with France in the latter’s present attitude. 6 Months Osf —Lloyds By United Press LONDON, March 14.—War is at least six months off, according to the latest quotations by Lloyd's. The odds: A European war in six months—9'.i to 1 against. French troops entering the Rhineland zone within the next three months —48to 1 against. Two days ago Lloyd's refused to quote odds on a European war. Hitler in Munich By United Press MUNICH. March 14.—Thousands roared their acclaim when Adolf Hitler reached Munich by airplane from Berlin today. Thronged by 50,000 visitors in holiday mood Munich, decked with flags, bunting and the Nazi swastika, waited expectantly for the speech Hitler will deliver tonight. The birthplace of national socialism was stirred to white-hot patriotism. REGISTRATION WARNING SOUNDED BY SPEAKER G. O. P. Women Launch John L. Niblack As Candidate for Prosecutor Warning against failure to register after changing residence was given today by John L. Niblack. Republican candidate for nomination for Marion County prosecutor. At meeting yesterday of the Republican women who formerly served as ward leaders of the City Manager League and Citizens’ School Committee, Mr. Niblack formally was indorsed as their candidate for the nomination.

GARBO The Mysterious Her True Story ♦ \oncaub

CHAPTER FOUR Success—and Failure WITH the same untiring patience that he had devoted to the selection of the male lead, Stiller set about the task of finding actresses for the feminine parts. Greta already had entered his wide circle of acquaintances. But here, strangely enough, the Stiller instinct for “spotting types” was unaccountably dormant. Greta almost missed her chance. Three times he turned her down! It was just at the conclusion of “Peter the Tramp.” Eric Petschler, anxious to help the young recruit who had thrown up her safe millinery job to enter the precarious picture business, bethought himself of his friend Stiller, who was always looking for promising people. Greta, whose need had made her bold, went to his house on Petschler’s advice. But Stiller sent word by his servant that he would not see her. Petschler advised her to be persistent, and she called again. This time Stiller was really angry, and drove her away himself with hard words, saying he had no time for the people who always came pestering him for work! Crushed, Greta took her tale back to Petschler and he, rather nettled to thiftk that his protege should have been treated in this manner, took the trouble of telephoning Stiller himself, to make an appointment for her. It was not a very good beginning. When she arrived, Stiller was not at home. But she decided to wait. Her anxiety was heightened by her previous rebuffs. At last Stiller came in, accompanied by his big dog. He seemed very put out by her persistence, and spoke in such a. harsh, unfriendly manner that she began to tremble. a a HER confusion must have touched him. for almost at once he changed the subject, beginning to talk about the weather and trivial things. Greta had the impression that he was talking at her, not to her. When she dared raise her eyes, she found his fixed upon her with such a penetrating gaze that she became confused again. She found out long afterward that he had not missed a single detail of her appearance. When she put him to the test, he repeated with absolute accuracy every item of the outfit she had been wearing—he even remembered the color of her stockings! After talking for a little while about nothing in particular he asked her to take off her coat. She did so. but received no further instructions. He just helped her on again, and *sked for her telephone number. With that he indicated that the audience w r as at an end, and Greta staggered out, not knowing what to make of it all. But she comforted herself with the thought of that a busy producer like Stiller would hardly take the telephone

Thirteenth to file was William S. Hoover, Vincennes, judge of the Knox County Circuit Court, Democrat, who seeks to succeed himself in that office. Surprised by Filings Oris Hooper, election deputy, was a little bit amazed. He didn’t expect any candidates to file on that day of superstition. Others filing notice were: Charles K.

BEGINNING tomorrow. Herron habitues will have a chance to see “Ohio River Life,” a set of eight monumental murals designed by Henrik Mayer, assistant to the director of the Herron Art School. Democrats and champions of a national art under Federal patronage will come prepared to applaud. Others less concerned with problems will discover their intrinsic beauty. Henrik Mayer's murals have an interest quite apart from their intrinsic beauty. For one thing, they are the result of President Roosevelt's solicitude for American art and artists. For another, they are the answer to a letter Anton Scherrer’s regular Saturday column, “Art in Indianapolis,” is on Page One, Section Two. written May 9, 1933, by George Biddle, a distinguished artist who knows how to mix paints with a social conscience. Painter Biddle, profiting by a visit to Mexico, believed that American artists, given government support, could produce as vital an art as had the youngsters of Mexico—and maybe, lick the depression, to boot. President Roosevelt liked Biddle’s letter well enough to start the Public Works of Art Project (PWAP), It was the first time our government recognized and admitted its responsibility to American art and artists. PWAP lasted six months, produced 15.663 easel projects, cost $1,312,177. It didn’t uncover anything worth writing home about, but it had in it the germ of an idea too good to lose—the idea that artists might again be made a functional part of society, if they could be brought from the periphery to the core of national life as they once were in the mural-minded days of the Italian Renaissance. That some such thought stirred the Administration is evidenced by the fact that PWAP was succeeded by three other agencies. Their main object has been the mural decoration of public buildings throughout the land. As part of the WPA appropriation, $3,000,000 was set aside to employ 5000 artists for this purpose. Last week Henrik Mayer and 4299 other artists still were at work laying the foundations of a national school of mural painting. Last week, too, the movement had progressed sufficiently to indicate a trend. Henceforth, it is certain that American mural painting will have little to do with symbols and morals. Instead, it will depict workmen, farmers, builders, postmen, policemen, acrobats, Indians, chain gangs anything, apparently except scantily dressed, torchbearing ladies.

WELFARE BILL APPROVED BY SENATE, 41-8 Upper Chamber Suspends Its Rules to Adopt Security Act. (Continued From Page One) be on WPA jobs where they lean on spades and smoke. But here, they sit in swivel chairs and smoke." Called “Political Chicanery” Senator William Fitzgerald <D., North Vernon), first ascertaining if Senator Lane had ordered his remarks taken down by the stenographer. angrily asserted. “That’s the cheapest bit of political chicanery’ I ever saw.” He added other remarks about what he termed Senator Lane’s “political gestures” and the Senate was thrown into a turmoil when Senator Lane's Republican colleagues came to his defense. Repeatedly demanding recognition from Senator Jacob Weiss tD., Indianapolis), then presiding, and failing to obtain it. Senator William E. Jenner (R„ Paoli), invoked the Senate rule against one Senator's impugning the motives of another. Senator I. Floyd Garrott, Battle Ground, minority floor leader, supported him as Senator Lane, retired, flushed and angry, to his seat. Amendment Is Beaten After Senator Weiss restored order, Senator Lane's amendment was beaten 29-10. Senator Thomas A. Hendricks <D., Indianapolis), moved adjournment and obtained it, although the majority had intended to continue reading the welfare bill by sections. Today the Senate was to make another change in the bill relating to handling of poor relief by township trustees. Although other majority members assured him the bill, as it stood, does not contemplate removal of poor relief from tow’nship trustees, Senator Claude Mcßride (D., Jeffersonville), obtained an amendment yesterday which expressly preserves the trustee's right. Reported Distasteful to McNutt The change was said to have been distasteful to Gov. McNutt because its insertion in the welfare bill’s definitions might prevent transfer of the Governor’s Unemployment Relief Commission to the proposed State Welfare Board. Accordingly, majority members are expected to remove the amendment today, but to compromise with Senator Mcßride and other “home rule” adherents by writing in anew section at the end of the bill which would have the same effect as the amendment inserted yesterday.
