WASHINGTON SILENT ON GUN ELEVATIONS Won't Reply to England Until Congress Has

Washingto ton, Dec. 22.-Until con gress has made known definitely its attitude on the question of appro- priating funds to change gun eleva- tions on capital ships the Washing ton government will engage In no controversy on that subject with Great Britain.

 In the event congrtss indicates Its willingness to supply the money and authorize the work on the ships, then the question may become one for diplomatic treatment between the two governments.
 It is possible, however, that should the money be provided, President Coolidge would decide not to author ize 8 gun elevation program. He is undecided at present whether the money required by the navy for this work should be expended upon the old ships 10 which it would go. It has been said that he will defer decision until he had received the report of the special board crated 10 study the comparative values of capital ships and aircraft and until he is able to determine whether the expenditure would be in keeping with his policy of economy.

Paris, Dec. c2.--The Temps in a two column article published today on the Franco-German economic ne- gotiStions, comes 10 the conclusion that they have reached a most unsat- isfactory point which the recent visit of the German delegates to Berlin has entirely failed to smooth over.
 The stumbling block appears to be the iron and steel industries, accord Ing to the newspaper, which says that in respect to these industries the negotiations now are in a much more unfavorable state than they were some weeks ago. and that the Ger man metallurgists today are showing q far less conciliatory disposition than they did last spring when cer- tain conversations had already com menced.

STIFF OPPOSITION 10
 NEW BUS FRANCHISE
Many Organizations Are Against Line From Wa

Representative o-eect F. 0. Rack life, President Joseph +. Andrews and a committee Of the Chamber of Commerce are in Hartford today to appear before the public utilities commission in opposition to petitions for bus franchises between the cities of Waterbury and Hartford over route that passes through New Brit ain.
 Four compahies are seeking the right to operate over this route, namely, the Bridgeport X Waterbury Bus Service Co.,, the Waterbury Jit- ney & Taxi Service Co.,, Connecticut Motor 6; Bus Co.,, and the Intercity Bus Co.
 Besides the Chamber of Commerce others appearing in opposition in- clude the Connecticut Co.,, New Ha- ven failroad. ScoYll Mfg. Co, of Waterbury Brown Chase Co.,, of Waterbury. Brotherhood Of Rail- read Trainmen, Brotherhood of Rail- road Conductors,
 By agreement among attorneys for the petitioners witnesses were called in the early part of the hearing from among the groups appearing in the interests Of all applicants to es- tablish the fact that the bus route is necessary 10 public convenience, the question of who shall receive the i franchise in the event that this Qucs- tion Is answered aftirmatively, to be decided later. Three members Of the board Of aldermen in Waterbury were present, as were a number Of city and state officials from that city and Hartford. The Connecticut Co had a delegation Of it's patrons ! on hand 10 argue the adequacy of l the present trolley service between l Plainville and New Britain anl be- tween New Britain and Hartford.
 The proposed route would enter New Britain from Plainville and leave at the Nowngton town line.
 New Britain's opposition was bas- ed the fact that petitions have al- ready been heard in which the Con- recticut Co.,, and MastcO, Inc, seek permission to run between this city and Hartfcrl, and the Chamber of Commerce is opposed to through traffic from other cities since the first two petitioners can furnish the same service with less traffic hazard and less congo stion. The principle of bus service is not opposed ny the chamber of commerce., President Andrews explained.
 Accompanying Mr. Andrews are the following members Of the cham Der: R. w. Potect, Jesse F. Atwator, C. II. Baldwin, Fred O. Eackiffc, w. F. Robinson, Patrick r. GafIney and Fred G. Russell.
