EQUAL TREATMENT
FOR us. FAVORED
Would Be Given Same Ad-
visory Rights in Court
as Council Members.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA. Switzerland. September
8.-Discussion of the fifth American
reservation to adherence to the
World Court of Justice occupied the
two secret sessions yesterday of the
committee Of IA. to which have been
referred by the World Court con-
ference all the reservations for jurid-
ical examination.
The fifth reservation prohibits the
court from entertaining without
American consent a request for ad-
visory opinions on questions in which
the United States has or claims an
interest.
Equal Treatment for L. $.
The committee decided in principle
to accord to the United States treat
ment equal to that to which non
members of the League of Nations
are entitled, and also the treatment
enjoyed by the members Of the
League orAmembers Of the council.
but will examine further as to
whether this is all that the United
States wants by this reservation.
This means that the committee
would grant the United States the
same rights as members of the coun-
Gil in passing upon the ACCESSIBILITY
of asking the court for opinions.
Discussions yesterday showed that
great difficulties exist not only in
accepting the American reservations,
but in making this acceptance legal
ly binding in practice. The COM
mittee Is striving to decide whether
the situation can best be met by
adding a new statute to the court or
by amending article Ia of the
covenant.
Acceptance Of the American reser-
vations in itself is not sufficient, be-
cause courts of law must be framed
so that the court itself will have no
doubt as to the legal effectiveness OF
the reservations.
The court will probably ask the
United States to collaborate In pre-
pairing the new statute dealing with
this question, because the statutes OF
the court are binding, whereas regu-
lations could be amended by the court
without consulting the signatories.
The special statute undoubtedly will
also name directly the United States
as the country to be accorded special
treatment as a non-member of the
League.
Armament Question Raised.
The American delegatlon 10 tie
preparatory disarmament committee
obtained satisfaction when the naval
subcommittee decided unanimously
that any system for the limitation OF
naval armaments by the method of
total tonnage should prescribe the
maximum tonnage of Warships and
the maximum caliber of guns.
Admiral Hilary Jones, presenting
the view of the United States, com
batted the French proposals. which
favored limitation by total tonnage
and declared that the application OF
this would not abolish competition In
naval ornaments nor lessen interna-
tional suspicion and misgivings.

Perry's independent candidacy was
presaged earlier in the campaign.
Nominee of the State conservative
Republican convention. he charged
a compact between some of the
forces of Senator Lenroot and Zim-
man. This was denied.
Ienroot Made Good Fight.
Senator Lenroot conducted a Wig
orous campaign. He has served in
Congress for II years, first in the
House, and then in the Senate,
since 1918 as the successor to Paul
Husting. Standing on his record,
which included leading the admins
tration fight for American adher-
ence to the World Court, and support
ing the Volstead act, the senior Wis
consin Senator rallied his supporters,
many of whom at the outset be-
lieved he was beaten. Lenroot met
the modification sentiment with the
assertion he would be guided by the
expression Of the people in the pro-
posed beer referendum.
If Senator Lenroot has been de-
feated, Wisconsin has removed from
office the last supporter of the Cool
idge administration in the State con-
gressional delegation. Gov. Blaine
has denounced many of the admin
istrations policies, and is pledged to
seek reconsideration of 1.-The favorable
action on entrance into the World
Court. which he declared was the
principal issue.
Blaine sought the Office with the
support Of practically the entire
La Toilette progressive forces. Len
root played a lone hand. The con-
servative Republican convention,
which placed a complete State ticket
in the field, did not indorse him and
he conducted an independent cam
paigE.

SCATTERED POOLS
FAVORED FOR D. c.
Fine Arts Body Declares
Many Bathing Centers
Should Be Provided.

Aligning itself with the policy of
the National Capital Planning Com
mission. the Commission of Fine Arts
today announced it's Endorsement of
a plan for scattered bathing pools in
Washington, so situated that each
will serve a populous section OF the
city.
Through H. p. Caemmerer, its
secretary, the fine arts body made
known its opposition to concentra-
ton of municipal swimming facilities
in East Potomac Park or in any other
park where long distances will have to
be covered by persons coming to the
pools from remote sections of the
city. The National Capital Planning
Commission at its organization
meeting several weeks ago, outlined
a plan for construction of scattered
pools rather than concentration of
bathing facilities in one section.
The Fine Arts Commission does
not oppose construction of bathing
pool In East Potomac Park, or of
another pool in section c, Anacostia
Park, but favors enlargement of the
UdlIIlIIS pUOA P1OGAdAh W PAVSAAN
bathing facilities in every section of
the city.
Mr.. Caemmerer explained that the
commission does not view placing of
bathing pools in existing public parks
as Necessary, but would so locate the
pools as to serve the greatest number
of people, regardless of whether they
are placed in parks or not.
The commission has made an ex-
haustive study of bathing pool con.
struction, getting estimates of cost
and design from Lynchburg, Va,
where an elaborate bathing plant re-
Gently has been completed.
The policy of establishing scattered
pools, Mr.. Caemmerer explained, is in
line with modern thought on recrea.
ton facilities. and will serve to re-
lieve traffic congestion by spreading
out the concentration of bathers and
vehicles that would occur at one
large bathing plant. Members of the
commission feel, he. added. that while
Washington should have large pool
located in Potomac Park, it should
not be the only pool in the downtown
area, nor should the Anacostia pool
be the only one In the southeast Sec
ton.
