AWAIT FRENCH ANSWER

Washington, Jan. 4. (AP) -
France has been asked by the state
department to share with the United
States q mission to unite all prin-
cipal nations in "renouncing war as
an instrument of national policy"
The proposal for joint leadership,
springing from the suggestion of
Foreign Minister BRAND for a
Franco-American treaty outlawing
war, is put forward by Secretary
Kellogg as offering opportunity for
a "more signal contribution to world
peace by joining in an effort to OBJ
tain the adherence of all of the prin-
cipal powers of the world" in re-
nunciation Of war.
With the offer to France went a
draft treaty to replace the Root ar,
bitration treaty which expires next
February q. It's preamble includes
a proposed declaration against re-
sort to war, and copies of it have
been sent to the British and Japan
ese governments. 1t will be sent to
all other powers with which this
country has Root treaties and will
serve as a model on which the state
department hopes to base multi
lateral pacts Of perpetual friendship.
A Counter Suggestion
Mr.. Kellogg's offer is in the ma
ture of a counter suggestion to the
BRAND draft treaty which proposes
that France and America condemn
recourse to war and agree to settle-
ment by pacific means Of all dis
putes between them. Offering the
substitute proposal in a note to the
French governments, instead of con-
tenting. themselves with a bi-lateral
declaration against war, might bet
ter serve world peace by uniting all
other powers in the same cause with
similar treaties.
IF the government of France is
willing to join the government of
the United States in this sendeavor,"
Mr.. Kellogg wrote, land to enter
with the United States and other
principal powers of the world into an
appropriate multi-lateral treaty, ]
shall be happy to engage at once in
conversations looking to the prep
aration Of draft treaty following
the lines suggested by NJ. BRAND
for submission by France and the
United States jointly to the other
nations of the world"
Ambassador Claudel has discussed
the peace treaty suggestions with
Secretary Kellogg and at future con-
ferences doubtless will be able to
clear up quickly questions raised in
Paris concerning phases of the SUBJ
stitute offered for the Root arbitra-
tion pact. These questions are un-
derstood to concern the future status
of the treaty in the event the Amer
lean senate should refuse to ratify
an arbitration award. and the exact
consequences of the American reser-
walton which would exclude from
arbitration disputes involving a
third party.

Twelve hundred invitations have
gone out to prominent Democrats

Of acceptances.

Famous Aviator
RESUMES TRIP TOMORROW

Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Jan. A.
(AP)-Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh
will avoid the district of northern
Nicaragua, which recently has been
the scene of fighting between United
States marines and rebels, on his
flight to Managua, Nicaragua. He
probably will fly there tomorrow.
Fears had been expressed at
Mahagua that Colonel Lindbergh
might be made a target for rebel
machine gun and anti-aircraft fire
if he flew over their strongholds. He
was warned to avoid this district or
to fly high in passing over it.
When asked about his route from
here, Lindbergh said: II will go
from Tegucigalpa to Leon, Nicara-
qua, and thence to Managua, but /
will not stop at Leon."
A direct line from Tegucigalpa to
Managua would carry him over the
rebel territory, but the line to Leon
is some 25 or 80 miles west of the
scene of the recent fighting.
The lone eagle dropped through
a misty rain and dark clouds to a
city bedecked with flowers in his
honor when he landed at 1.55 p. nj.

Six pretty girls presented the
flyer with great bouquet of flow
ers in behalf of the women Of
Honduras.
President Miguel Pas Barahona,
Foreign Minister Fausto Davilla and
American Minister George T. Sum-
merlin welcomed the ambassador of
good will as he stepped from his
plane. Mayor Lucas Moncada pre-
sented Lindbergh with a gold key to
the city.

SANDING WILL
BE ATTACKED
BY US. TROOPS
Marines Turn Their Efforts
Toward Establishment of
Effective Base

Managua, Nicaragua, Jan. A.
(AP) The garrison of United
States marines at Quilali turned its
efforts today toward the establish
ment Of an effective base for an
offensive against the rebel general,
Augustine Sandino.
Preparations will be rushed on
landing field to save the long MULE
back trip now necessary to Octol,
where the nearest air field is situ-
ated. Large quantities Of ammuni-
tion, including hand grenades, bombs
and machine guns, will be sent in a
large transport plane from Managua
to Quilali, when the landing field is
ready.
Marines and national guardsmcn
will be consolidated for the offensive
against Sandino when the additional
supplies arrive. With the promise
of 1000 more marines from the
United States, Colonel Louis Mason
Gulick, marine commander, Is hope
full of pushing the campaign against
the rebels to a successful termina-
tion.
Rebels Are Hidden
Airplanes on Tuesday recon.
noitered the region around QuilaN
and, on returning here, reported that
they were unable to find any trace
Of rebel troops.
The rebels are believed to have
concentrated at Ell Chipote in an al
most inaccessible mountain strong
hold, several thousand feet above
sea level. Sandino's camp is near
the Coco river and deserted from his
forces have informed the marines
that he has several boats ready for
escape to the sea If hard pressed.
Already planes have bombed
groups Of rebels which took refuge
IN the forest. A relief column made
its way to Quilali Monday under pro-
lection of airplane fire to reinforce
the garrison. The rebels at various
times attempted to concentrate at
several strategic points along the
trail. They met the marines with
gunfire but Immediately planes
would swoop overhead dropping
bombs, and then would swing low
and strafe the rebels with machine
gun fire.
The insurgents scattered and ma
rine headquarters believe that there
were numerous casualties.
Government secret agents are in
vestigating to ascertain the source
Of outside aid which the government
believes has been given Sandino.

coming slowly out of the anesthetlc
of low temperatures which, since
New Years day, have extended their
chill as far south as the Mexican
gulf.
Four fatalities were reported

atures were not uncommon through
out most Of the north and middle
west. Sixty deaths attributed to the
cold and the snow have been report
ed from widely spread sections OF
the country since January !.
Duluth Is Coolest
Temperatures generally were sew.
eral degrees higher last night than
on Monday. Duluth was the cold
est place in the United States with
eight. degrees below zero reported
at Z D.. M. last night, although White
River, Ont, had % degrees below at
the same hour. In both cases, how
ever, the readings were higher than
for the previous day.
The great rotary plows and cater
pillars, which are kept in readiness
by most of the northern tier OF
states during the winter. were do
ing 24-hour shifts, bucking drifts
and cutting lanes for motor travel
over the network of state highways.
Snow was piled as deep as 80 inches
in northern Michigan.
Sheriff's officers from La Crosse,
Wis.,, found Mrs. Marie Sauer frozen
to death under a bed at her home
on French Island, where for years
she has lived in seclusion. The men
had to fight their way through 9
dozen dogs, pets of Mrs. Sauer, who
were with the body when the Off
GERS broke down the bolted door,.
Losses Are Heavy
Though the cold had lessened ap.
preciably, temperatures in many
parts Of the country stood several
degrees below freezing. Suffering
was acute in some places, particular
ly Ohio, New England and the south
the latter section being less pre-.
pared than the rest Of the country
for the unexpected mercury drop
ping. Heavy losses resulted to trucl
farms and fruit groves in the south
and on cattle ranges in the Rock,

The district attorney announced
he would ask that q murder indict-
ment be voted against the youths
in connection with the death Of the
druggist.
Long Court Fight Seen
Hickman's plea Of mot guilty BY
reason OF insanity" was made when
he was arraigned yesterday on in
dictments charging him with the
kidnapping and murder Of the Los
Angeles school girl. The move
forecasts q long court fight IN the
attempt of tho youth to escape the
death penalty which the prosecu-
tion frequently has declared it
would demand.
A recently passed California law
divorces the hearing on the defend
ants sanity from The actual trial.
II he is found to have been sane 1t
the time the crime was committed,

plea that Hickman il insane At
present. TIM
Legal authorities differ some-
what on the Interpretation Of the
new California law ~ to the prcce-
dure should Hickman be declared
insane 1t the time Of the kidnapping
and murder but be held sane now.
Superior Judge Fricke, who,
while chief deputy district attorney,
had charge of all insanity cases, de-
clared that the youth, if found i'm
sane at the time the crimes were
committed, would be sent to q state
hospital and, if later declared to be
sane, would walk out = free man.
Hearing January Is
The insanity hearing was set by
Superior Judge Carlos Hardy for.
January Is, after he had denied the
plea Of Hickman's youthful attor-
ney, Jerome Walsh, that the case
be delayed for IS days.
The young defendant himself
voiced his pleas 1t the arraignment.

nounced the words mot guilty."

Although the new state law al
lows hearings on insanity aside from
the regular trials, Judge Carlos
Hardy, before whom the young
desperate appeared, pointed out
that . regular trial in this case
would be unnecessary % the de-
fendant had tacitly admitted his
guilt.
If found sane 1T the time Of the
crime, and sane at the present time,
Hickman may be sentenced without
further formality, attorneys said,
but in that event it would be dis
cretional with the judge whether
the penalty would be death or life
Imprisonment.
