PLAN SUPPORT
GIVEN DENIAL
Government Backing Of Com
mission Plan Still Lacking
Declared by Officials
NO CLEAR CUT DENIAL
1t Is Believed Agreement on
Plan Would Not Be Displeas-
ing to Washington

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-(By the
Associated Press)-The situation rel
ative to extension of American aid
toward a European reparations settle
ment continued today to present a
badly bedaubed picture on which lit
tie light was thrown from any quarter
American officials reiterated their
denials of government backing at the
present stage for the American COM
mission plan sponsored by commercial
leaders and of various published state
ments regarding the direction in
which American officials opinion was
tending.
But there was no clear cut denial
that high officials in Washington had
discussed the commission proposal
earnestly among themselves and with
others and no one attempted to give
the impression that the United States
government would be displeased
should the discussions now in prog
ress result in an agreement.
Neither did any official come for
ward to explain the true Character
of the mysterious moving behind the
scenes of world diplomacy to which
allusion has been repeatedly made in
official outgivings both in Washing
ton and in the capitals of Europe.
In all of their negative comment
on the subject, state department au-
thorities seemed most anxious to de-
ny that the government itself, despite
the close touch it is maintaining with
the situation was in any way party
at the present time to the plan for a
survey commission, suggested first
in this country by officials of the
chamber of commerce of the United
States. 1t was said flatly that the

On TRIAL IN
OTHER COUNTS
Sentence to Be Passed on
Dec. 20 on Charge of En-
bezzling Bank Funds
VERDICT SOON REACHED
Charges of Misrepresentation
and False Entries in Parker
Bank to Be Pressed

YUMA, Ariz., Dec. 22.-Alva E.
Smith found guilty by n jury here
today on a charge of embezzlement
of $4,000 of the funds of the Valley
bank of Parker, Arizona will go on
trial again next Tuesday on one OF
three additional counts against him
in connection with the failure of the
Parker bank. of which he was vice
president at the time of its failure
last August
The count on which Smith was con
yicted today charged that in pur-
chasing stock in the Valley bank of
Parker, Ariz., last spring, he gave
Clarita, Okla, and later transferred
funds of the Parker bank to meet
payment on the checks.
Superior Judge Graham set DE
cember 29 as the date for passing
sentence. Neither Smith nor his
attorneys made any statement re
garding the jury's verdict.
The case went to the jury last
night after nine days OF testimony
but the jurors retired for the night
the verdict was reached an hour
after deliberations We're resumed to-
day.
II had not been decided this af-
ternoon on which of the remaining
counts. Smith will be tried first
These counts charge the making of
false entries in the books of the
Parker bank and the misappropria'
tion of funds
Il was the opinion in court circles
that the remaining trials will not
be as long as the one just com
pleted and that there will be much
repetiontion of testimony given in
the embezzlement trial.
Following Smiths arrest on a
boat bound from San Diego, Calf
10 Mexico last August shortly after
the failure of the Parker bank, a
contest for his custody was waged
in California by Arizona, Oklahoma
and Nebraska authorities, which
ended when Governor Stephens OF
California granted Smiths extradi
tion to Arizona.
. Several Oklahoma bankers and of
ficials who testified during the triaI
left for their homes this afternoon

today committed itself through a re-
commendation made to the foreign
affairs commission of the chamber

stand or fall on the question of the
Washington naval agreement
Aristide BRAND, former premier,
seconded the stand of NJ Poincare on
the question, which also embraced
the four-power treaty as amended
in the United States senate by Sen
ator Brandegee of Connecticut. The
premier declared that the reservation
of Mr.. Brandegee would in no way
entail military participation"
That the chamber was practically
agreed upon ratification was shown
when M. BRAND leader of the left.
and Andre Tardeiu, head of the
Clementists, both announced their
support of the premier in his attempt
to put the treaties through.

the cabinet under premier Clemer-

rut who signed the final documents

SAVED SHOPPERS FROM BEES
Potent Magic Exercised by California
Constable Earned Him Vote of
Thanks From Women.

We have all heard of the snake
charmer, but bee charmer is the
latest.
To Constable AL La Cunha of Hay
ward. Cal, goes the medal. Alone
and unaided, La Cunha rounded up a
swarm of angry bees and conquered
them without single sting.
The bees in question, having out
grown their dwelling of ten years
over the shop of Edward S. Warren,
swarmed toward the courtroom OF
Judge Jacob Harder, Jr., through
streets filled with women shoppers.
La Cunha witnessed the flight of
the bees and then his magic became
apparent.
He beat tattoo with a stick upon
tin can and the bees became
charmed" They ceased their flight
and settled on a nearby tree.
Tie shoppers hearing of his daring,
gave the constable vote of thanks.
