sion Only Hope Left.

Bg United Press
WASHINGTON. April 22-One of
Harry Sinclair's few remaining
chances of evading a three-month
jail sentence for contempt OF the
senate faded today when the su-
preme court refused him a rehear-
ing of the case in which it decided
two weeks ago that he was prop
erly convicted.
Court officials said the mandate
of the high tribunal would be sent
to District of Columbia courts on
May 4, when Sinclair will be called
on to surrender and commence his
three-month term in the district
Jail. and also to pay $500 fine.
The only possible avenues of legal
escape now are a pardon from the
White House or a suspension Of
sentence by the judge who originally
imposed it two years ago.

Estimates of injured in that ter
ritory ran as high as 200 Wires

we're unavailable.
Two persons were killed at Oak

u. S. SOUNDS NEW PLEA
TO WORLD POWERS FOR
DRASTIC SLASH IN NAVIES
Stands Ready TO Agree to
Any Reduction If All
Classes Are Reduced.
BY HENRY WOOD
United Press STAFF Correspondent.

GENEVA, April 22.-The United
States again took the lead today in
urging drastic reduction of the
naval strength Of the great powers.
The Hoover administration in
formed the powers, through Hugh
r. Gibson, United States ambassa-
dor to Belgium, that it stood ready
to agree to any reduction, however
drastic, providing every class of
ship is restricted without exception.
The address of Gibson to the
preparatory disarmament commits
sion, which has been struggling with
the problem and making little ap-
parect progress, was an open invi-
tation to England, Japan, France
and Italy to get together as they did
at Washington in 1921 and ease the
burden OF their costly navies.
Receive Speech Cordially
Representative of those nations
received the speech cordially and
promised earnest consideration by
ther governments,
In the face of the failure to agree
on the cruiser ploblem, Gibson Of
fered compromise.
1t entailed adoption of the French
proposal to assign a total tonnage
limit to each power, apportioned by
classe sto each type of ship, with
the proviso that the tonnage allotted
to any one category could be in
creased by certain percentage to
be transferred from some other cate
CORY.
In other words, if nation were
allotted so many tons of cruisers and
so many of submarines, she could
increase her cruiser strength by
building fewer submarines, within
certain limits.
Urges Common Sense"
The compromise represented an
effort to get around the diverging
needs of the United States, who
wants preponderance of large
cruisers; England, who wants smaller
cruisers, and France, who wants a
large number of submarines.
Hence the United States insists
that the reduction apply to ali types
of vessels.
Gibson made strong appeal for
international common sense" The
purpose of disarmament, he said,
must be to release large numbers of
men from military service to gainful
pursuits, and to reduce the burden
of taxes.
He urged that the word "limita-
ton be scrapped and reduction"
used instead.
U. S. Defense Problem Naval
Our defense problem is naval.
Gibson added, and the United
States will be prepared to make
concessions to nations who depend
on land forces, when discussion of
that subject is reached
Gibson informed the press that
the American proposals relative to
naval equivalents as a basis of COM
parison already were completed ana
ready for inspection by any one.
My personal idea Of the limit to
which navies should be reduced is
one where no nation need fear being
attacked by another" he said.

DEBENTURE PLAN
REMAINS IN BILL
GIVEN TO SENATE

their votes on the antl-admlnlStra-
ton side. Their votes gave an TO
6 margin in the committee in favor
Of the debenture scheme.
Democrats on the committee
split on the issue, two voting with
Hoover and four against.
The figures confirmed the opin-
ion of administration leaders that
they can kill the plan easily when
a vote is taken by the senate.
Hold Brief Session
In view of the delay encountered
in the agriculture committee by
Hoover's letter strongly counselling
against the debenture plan, the
Senate held but brief session to-
day. New committee assignments
were ratified. Bills and resolutions
were introduced and adjournment
was taken until Tuesday so Chair
man Charles McNary of the agri-
culture committee can prepare a re-
port on the farm bill.
The house laid aside its admin
istration farm bill temporarily so
Representative John Garner, the
Democratic leader, could make an
attack on the Republican system of
tariff making. He charged the Re
publican members Of the ways and
means committee were holding
hearings in secret and writing the
new bill in secret. He said this
secrecy was unfair and that the oil
should be written by the full COM
mittee, Democrats included.
The house agreed to extend gen.
eral debate on the administration
farm relief bill through
tomorrow
Ask Additional Time
Demands for additional time to
debate the measure were granted to
by house leaders. Final passage of
the bill is now expected to be de-
layed until Thursday.
Representative Jones dem,
Texas issued q. statement charac-
terizing President Hoover'S letter to
Senator McNary as "the most amaz-
ing communication to which he has
ever given utterance"
Hoover characterized the deben-
ture plan as a direct subsidy from
- i
disaster to the farmer in the end.

FORCEFUL LANGUAGE
USED In SPEAKING OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Twelve Thousand Word Document Is Read in Both Houses by
Clerks Recommends Concentration of Enforcement
Agencies in the Department of Justice for Better and
More Efficient Service

Observation-Disclosures disposal
of the tariff controversy, a 100000
900 income tax reduction, and hos,
of other recommendations, both do
nestic and international, were sub
mitted to congress by President
Hoover Tuesday in his first annual
message on "the state of the union.
The 12,0Je word document, which
was read in both branches of congress
by clerks, made known that the pres
ldent would submit adherence to the
world court to the senate "at some
time when it is convenient to deal
with it" and said the administration
held 'high hopes for success of the
London naval limitations conference
beginning in January.
Exceptionally forceful language
was employed by Mr.. Hoover in deal
ing with law enforcement, for the
study of which he already has ap-
pointed commission. What the gov
eminent needs to do, he said, is to
"re-establish faith that the highest
interests of our country are served
