back, 1t was indicated today after re-
fusal of the district attorney to ac-
cede to the defense proposal to enter
a plea of guilty to a manslaughter
charge on behalf of the young woman.

said, was inspired by humanitarian
instincts, aroused by the daily spec
tacle of the girl repeatedly collaps-
ing under the strain of the trial Miss
Ellingson suffered eight fainting
spells during the first five days OF
the trial.
Prosecution Firm
The district attorney remained firm
in his stand that anything less than
a murder charge would be inconsist-
ent and incompatible with the ends
of justice.
It was pointed out by the defense
that the girls father and brother are
unwilling to accept the States pro-
posal that a plea Of second degree
murder be entered in her behalf,
leaving determination of the girls
fate in the hands Of the court and
alienists
The Ellingson girl is alleged to
have shot and Killed her mother on
the morning of January IS, after be-
ing admonished to give up partici-
patton in the city's night life.

Trouble is certain If the decision IS

impotent.

ITALIANS ARE COLD
TO CONFERENCE PLAN
Look on Washington Meeting
With Disfavor, Due to Linn
tied Scope of Discussion.
BY the Associa ted Press.


ROME, March 2S.--The committee
of senator's and deputies charged with
the study of the international con-
ference, which, according to the news
papers, is to be held at Washington
in October, met today and discussed
the proposed program.
The Epoca says that many of the
committees members look with, dis
favor upon the conference, princi-
pally because 1t does not include in
its agenda questions of particular in
terest to Italy, namely, interallied
debts and immigration.
This view seems to be reflected in
most of the procurement news
papers, which hitherto have abstained
from comment on the project of
another Washington conference. The
Messaggero, the leading morning pro-
fascist organ, supports the ideas of
Senator Borah that the conference
should have wider scope, since. the
paper says, mere disarmament would
not cure Europe's ills.
Moreover. the Messaggero looks
with considerable skepticism on
too stringent curtailment of arma-
ments. saying: Every people raust
provide first for its life and after
ward for that of humanity"

CURB EXPLOITATION

Church Conference Urged to
Combat Any Activities of
Sort in U. S.
RH The Associated Press

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, March %.
The delegates to the Christian
Work Congress applauded today when
DR.. Enrique Molina, dean of the
Chilean University at Conception,
told them it was necessary that the
weight of all university and spiritual
forces of the United States should be
thrown against everything that could
be interpreted as political or financial
imperialism with relation to the
countries of Latin America.
This was the concluding declaration
of DR.. Molina's address before the ed
vocational conference of the congress,
in which he discussed "nationalisn
and world understanding" He con-
trasted the difference between North
and South America, pointing out that
while the descendants Of the settler s
of the United States united in COM
mon effort, those in South America
had divided and maintained them
selves in hostile separation as diff
ferent nations.
DepIores Internal Troubles
The tragedy in South America, in
his opinion, was that the diHerent
countries viewed each other with sus-
picion and proclaimed their superb
ority over each other, meanwhile al
lowing foreigners to exploit their re-
sources and stimulate their competi-
ton in ornaments.
This, Dr. Molina believed, was due
TO lack of education and unity. Their
salvation was cultivation of national
ism, which was not vainglorious, but
devoted development of a country's
resources by Its own efforts toward
culture and education.
1T remains for the brothers of the
South to reform themselves by edu-
cation; to affirm their personalities
by work and to wipe out mutual sus-
picions," he said.
