LONDON, April ll.-Dwelling a;
length on the subject of Anglo Ameri-
can naval competition, Viscount Grey ci
Fallodon, who as Sir Edward Grey was
secretary Of state for foreign affairs al
the start of the World War. expressed
the view yesterday that the British nava
program should not take the United
States Navy into account, but rather
should back up the Kellogg pact with
all its weight.
In dealing with the subject Of naval
disarmament Lord Gray said the real
obstacle had been disagreement on
the subject between the United States
and Great Britain and that 1t was this
that had brought about the failure OF
the conference at Geneva. failure, he
added, which might we'll have had dis
astrous effects not only on naval ex-
penditure, but also on the political re-
lations between Great Britain and the
United States.
Lord Grey was speaking at the an
nual meeting of the Liberal Council,
OF which he has just been reelected
chairman. The council was formed in
1927 by a group of Liberal secessionists
from Lloyd George Liberalism.
Geneva Failure Discussed.
II must frankly say" Lord Grey con-
tinued, that If the government had only
translated into practice at the three
power conference the statments which
have since been made both by tile
prime minister and the first lord OF
the admiralty there would have been
no failure at Geneva"
At this the 200 members of the coun-
Gil present--the "Old Guard" OF the
Liberty Party, men who used to be fig-
ures in the House of Commons, some OF
them in the days when Gladstone Was
their leader-burst into prolonged cheer
ing:
Grey continued when the applause hao
subsidized, because We disputed Amer
ica's claim to build the whole of theiI
tonnage In large cruisers. but If the
words of the first lord Of the admiralty
(W. c. Bridgeman) conveyed the policy
of the government, surely he would
have said to the United States: We
are not building in competition with
you. If it suits you to have 100000
tons OF large cruisers. go ahead and
build them we want something differ
ent We shall build our small cruisers
and you can build your large cruisers
Civilian View Stressed.
"The declarations of Prime Minister
Baldwin and of his first lord of the
admiralty were perfectly satisfactory as
far as they went but they should have
been followed up and repeated by every
member of the government.
This would have removed the i'm
preston in the United States and in
this country that we did not mean
business when we said we were not
engaged in competitive building with
the United States
Lord Grey expressed the view that
both governments we're equally respon-
sible for the feeling which had arisen
and that the trouble lay in leaving too
much to meetings between naval ex-
perts instead of giving to civilians the
duty of interpreting what constituted
the contingency of war and instruct

Stones Strength
In Medicine Ball
Menaces ''Cabinet''
Presi ent Knocked
Breathless Several Times
by Justices Tosses.

If President Hoover has any intention
of enlarging the membership Of his
medicine ball cabinet it is very likely
that he will not recruit those who have
been star foot ball players in the past.
Associate Justice Stone of the Su-
preme Court. who played center on the
Amherst team back in the days when
Calvin Coolidge was an undergraduate,
has caused not only the President, but
the other members of the medicine ball
cabinet, Of which Justice Stone is a
member to realize that game is much
nicer If the ball is not thrown by a
former college athlete.
Justice Stone is said to heave the
medicine ball with more force than is
relished by those who are expected to
catch 1t. On numerous occasions when
he has put the full weight of his 220
pounds behind the throwing of the ball
the man on the other end has been
toppled over. President Hoover is un-
derstood to have withstood the Justices
tosses, but he has felt more than one
good jolt and several times has had his
wind knocked out. Hugh Gibson, AM
bassador to Belgium. caught the ball
once on the end of his nose and he car
ried the marks from the blow for sew
eral days. Whether the President and
the members of the medicine ball cabi-
net ever demonstrated with the justice
because of his speed ball is not known
But it is known that most of the play
ers would derive more fun out of it If
the distinguished jurist would put less
speed behind his throws. One member
of the cabinet remarked today that he
looked upon this half hour of medicine
ball throwing about as strenuous as
anything he has participated in since
he was a boy.

Geneva Disarmament Circles
Get Report of impending
Proposals.
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, April 11-As delegates to
the preparatory commission for dis
armament conference began converging
on Geneva today. there we're uncon-
firmed reports in League of Nations cir
cles that Great Britain contemplates
advancing some suggestion before the
British general elections on the naval
question calculated to hasten an ar
rangement with the other naval powers.
especially the United States.
One rumor was that this suggestion
may be advanced before the preparatory
commission when it. begins work on
Monday. This report, together with
dispatches from Washington indicating
that Hugh S. Gibson, American Am
bassador to Belgium, is bringing some
new suggestion on the naval problem
from President Hoover, has raised hope
that something encouraging may be ac-
complished at the session.
One suggestion discussed: in League
circles is that the powers might agree
to have two categories of cruisers, with
the privileges of transferring tonnage
from one category to another In ac-
cordance with the specific needs of the
particular power. For instance, Great
Britain would have the right to transfer
her allotted total tonnage of cruisers
into small cruisers needed for her ex-
tensive patrolling work.
1t is understood authoritatively. how
ever, that no definite agenda has been
drawn up for the preparatory commits
sion. Its discussions may be expected
to last for several weeks and to be
highly technical and scientific in char
acter.
Mr.. Gibson, who will represent the
United States, is due here from Brus-
sells Sunday night.

Fess to Ask Constitutional Change
Giving ex-Presidents Senate Service

He added that his proposed amend
ment probably would evoke bitter OPP
position in Congress, particularly as to
the salary involved. because Senators
are paid only $4,000 year, but he said
he was prepared to wage q vigorous
fight for the measure. He asserted,
however, that he did not intend to
clutter up the special session with
such a proposal.
Frequently he said. Presidents
leave ONCE with no other desirable oc-
cupation in sight, but occasionally, as
in the case of former President Taft
they do drop into something which
they like and are fitted for. Taft liked
the Supreme Court and always wanted
to be member of it, but his case was
an exception Z
The salary he proposes, Fess said,
would relieve former Presidents of
financial worries and would assure them
Of an adequate income along with con-
genial work.

MATS OUT TOWN.
GAMES TO co ON AIR.
The Star to Give Details of
Contests Through Sta.
ton WMAL.
WALTER JOHNSON,

Following its policy of recent years,
The Evening Star will put on the air
through station WNdAL a graphic ac-
count of every weekday game played
out of town this season by the wash
ington ball club.
Denman Thompson, sports editor OF
The Star for the past IL years. and a
recognized authority on base ball, will
of1iciate at the microphone.
From The Stars own studio in its
building at Eleventh and Pennsylvania
avenue detailed story of the progress
of each game played on foreign field
by Walter JohnSon'S revamped aggre-
CATION of pennant contenders will go
over the air to the thousands of Capital
fans who will be following the progress
of the club with an interest that prom
ises to rival that displayed in the flag
winning combinations of 1924-25.
First Game Abroad April %.
Starting with Washington's first game
abroad against the Athletics at Phila-
delphia on Tuesday. April %, fans OF
the District and vicinity will be kept
apprised by radio of all activities on the
field in each of the close to 70 contests
scheduled for the Griffmen, exclusive
of Sundays
From the time the umpire calls
play" until the final put-out is made
every ball and strike pitched, every hit
recorded and fielding play achieved
will be recounted so that supporters of
the Nationals will be able to follow
their activities in manner that next
to actually seeing the games cannot be
improved upon.
Thompson, dean of the Washington
sports writing fraternity and chairman
of the local chapter of the Base Ball
Writers Association. of America, has
club, at home and abroad, in addition
to all world series games, since the sea-
son of 1916, and has a background of
experience in writing about the ma
tional pastime exceeded by none in this
section.
Account Over Special Wire.
From The Stars staff correspondent
who will attend every game played
abroad by the Griffmen will be received
over a special wire from the press box
of the distant city the intimate details
OF each game. These will be instantly
relayed by Thompson so that not more
than few seconds will elapse from
the time play is made until listeners
in hereabouts will be informed of not
only what has happened, but how.
With the Nationals this Spring ap-
pearing more formidable than for sew
eral seasons past, and likely to make
a sturdy bid for championship honors
in the American League unprecedented
interest in their activities is antici-
pated.
BY means of the special equipment
now being installed with the co-opera-
ton of station WMAL, with an an
nouncer of Thompsons experience and
ability presiding at the microphone,
The Star believes it will provide the
very best service possible for base bail
enthusiasts unable to witness personally
the Nationals out-of town games.

RADIO LEADS RALLY
IN STOCK MARKET
Gains Occur After Opening
Drop-0iI Shares Are
Taken Up.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 8.-Disregarding
the unfavorable credit outlook, the stock
market today rallied impressively. Ra-
dio had another violent rise and other
industrials were actively bought, closing
around the best of the session Money,
renewing at 10 per cent, dropped to 8
per cent in the last hour.
The advance in Radio amounted to
more than 80 points as the stock
crossed 439 for the first time in the
history of the corporation. At this figure
it was 10 points above the close last
Wednesday.
There was nothing in the overnight
news to encourage buying. On the con-
trary the increase in brokers' loans was
much larger than had been anticipated.
In fact, many authorities had predicted
decrease. The showing in the weekly
statements of the Federal Reserve Banks
was one of continued money strain and,
finally, there was the frank talk by Mr..
Warburg about the need of restricted
measures on speculative excuses.
The market paid this budget of news
the compliment of opening lower Ana
conda was down over points, General
thing less than points on the initial
sales. Other st:Pldard stocks lost pro-
portionately. This phase did not last
long. The same interests that have been
active in Radio resumed the bidding UP
process. The old stock, which had closed
at 407 yesterday had touched 426 before
noon for a gain of 10 points and this
on top of rise of 81 points yesterday.
The new stock went along to new top
since is sue above IS.
Western Union, which was another
stock in urgent demand in the previous
session, forged ahead again today into
new high ground as it sold at 216. The
advance in Radio was connected in the
gossip of the day with that in Western
Union. The low-priced Radio-Keith-
Orpheum went along sympathetically.
Another incident of the early deal
ings was sudden display of interest
in the oils. For q time nearly all the
active stocks in this part of the list
were carried briskly forward. Mexican
Seaboard gained over points. Atlantic
Refining was up more than points and
other strong stocks were Barnsdall "a"
Marland, Sinclair and Standard Oh OF
New York
Probably there was good deal of
selling elsewhere under cover of the
strength in the leaders. 1t was well
absorbed. however. United States Steel
close as the opinion gained ground that
the terms on which the new stock
would be offered would be more gener-
Gus than had been at first supposed.
Bethlehem Steel, which was heavily
sold in the first hour, rallied. Packard
came back after an early drop and so
did Stewart Warner.
Money renewed at 10 per cent. Call
ing of loans was nominal during the
morning, but supply and demand was
so evenly balanced that 1t was admitted
small Withdrawals would force an ad-
vance in the rate.
