WILL ADMIT PRESS
StimsOn's Demand For Re-
m0val Of Secrecy Meets
With Approval.
BY RAYMOND CI.APPER
United Press staff Correspondent,

LONDON, Jan. %. UP - The
American delegation to the laval
conference today won its demand
for presentation of the ease of aux
iliary warships limitation first at
the next plenary session Thursday.
The chief delegates, meeting at st.
James palace, also decided that the
plenary session would discuss the
II ain conference questions in alpha
betical order of the countries pro-
posing.
The American delegation won
second victory when it was decided
to admit certain representatives of
the press at the plenary sessio on
Thursday. Secretary Henry L. Slim
son had first urged that the press
he admitted and offered to give up
three seats occupied by American
technical experts to permit atten.
dance of reporters.
An official announcement said the
discussion Of the conference agenda
was continued this morning and that
the meeting Thursday will get up a
committee of principal delegates to
study the questions further. Rcijiro
| Wakatsuki, chief japanese delegate
told the press that the Franco-Ital
ian differences had been discussed
and that the British delegates had
presented their wpoint on
Frances proposal to have the con-
ference define categories of war
ships before taking up other ques
tons.
! The agreement on alphabetical dis
! cussion Of the main questions means
that the United States case for aux
iliary limitation, that is, for limita-
ton of cruisers, submarines, torpedo
boats, submarines, etc, will be made
prior to discussion Of battleship
limitation.
Americans Speak First
Discussion of cruiser problems
! first had been one of the chief de-
: IN ads Of the American delegates in
Ill augins the agenda.
The fact that the Americans will
I speak first gave them the opportuni-
ty to present their case on auxiliary
ships first, although that does not
necessarily mean Intt tHe conference
will take up that subject and reach
a decision on it before deciding
other questions.
1t was announced the committee,
which will be named at the plenary
session, will be permanent steer
ing committee composed Of the prin-
cipal delegates and the British en-
pre representatives. Questions may
be referred to sub committees so
that several issues can be threshed
out simultaneously.
The announcement said it had not
get been decided, how many press
representatives would be admitted.
Stimson had insisted that at least.
three American news agencies be
given seats. The room where the
p.enary sessions are held is small
and it probably would be necessary
for each delegation to relinquish
few seats for the press. 1t was said
the delegates considered installing
microphones aSd loudspeakers to
permit other reporters in the build
ing to listen in.

age by f. J.. Sloniger, branch man
agcr here of the Universal Avia-

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Jan. %.
, W.P'-A black mark on the snow in
an open field here, marked the place
today where five persons were
crushed and burned to death in a
flaming airplane.
Pilot Dyke J.audeman, apparently
struggling with a failing motor, had
made an effort to land his Travelair
six passenger carrier at time when
he could see the swinging beacon
and red markers of Fairfax Airport,
his goal, just a mile away.
The airplane, which flew from
Wichita, Kan, late Monday, was
behind schedule and darkness had
closed in when the trouble developed.
Lauderman, losing altitude accord
ing to witnesses, swung away from a
building, then went into a vertical
bank to crash from about $50 feet.
The crew of switch engine near
the scene said the craft was en-
veloped in flames before it fell. The
motor was broken in half, both see
! tions digging into the hard ground.
The bodies of the pilot and his four
passengers, were burned.
The dead were:
Pilot Dyke Lauderman, Kansas

taking the dial telephones out of the
Senate Once Building and the Senate

directed the removal of the dials and
the installation of the manual phones

been reached.
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Mary

which the dials could be left in the
offices of any Senators who preferred
them, but action could not be obtained
on it during the past few days. On
Thursday Senator Glass renewed his
opposition to the dial phones when the
Tydings amendment was called up.
When Senator Tydings asked for
consideration of the amendment yes

SENATE CONFIRMS
HANFORD M'NIDER
Brookhart's Charge Envoy to Can
ada Led Drunken Revels
Is Ignored.

Hanford MacNider Of Iowa, the for
mer Assistant Secretary of War, was
confirmed by the Senate late yesterday
as Minister to Canada after Senator
Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa, had
described him as the leader of drunk
en- revels" at American Legion conven-
tions. Senator Steck, Democrat, Of
Iowa quickly denied the charge.
Senator Brookhart, in voicing his
personal objections to his Iowa Repub-
lican political foe, startled the Senate
with his picture of American Legion
conventions as drunken revels." He
added:
II have seen Hanford MacNider lead
ing those revels. know he is to
blame for that more than any man in
the whole American Legion"
Steck Makes Reply.
Jumping to his feet, Senator Steck
replied that Brookhart docs not know
what he Is talking about" He said
MacNider had been "teetotaler" since
he entered public life as an Assistant
Secretary of War four years ago. He
called upon the Senate to confirm him
The Senate listened attentively to the
airing of the old feud between Brook
hart and MacNider and when Steck
had concluded did not even take q rec4
ord vote. There was a chorus of "ayes"
and the Iowan was confirmed. Brook
hart did not ask the Senate to reject
the nominee on his plea that MacNider
was personally offensive in the highest
degree"

LA GUARD|A ASSA|LS
B|CENTENN|AL FUND
But House Retains Item for
Publicity of 1882 CeIebra-
tion as Needed.

BY the Associated Press.
Proposed expenditures by the George
Washington bicentennial commission
for publicity purposes were assailed in
the House yesterday by Representative
La Guardia, Republican, New York.
Seeking to have an item of 1867, OTIS
in the second deficiency bill for the
commission reduced to $3.50, 900, the
New Yorker asked "are we to write
the history of Washington today?"
Representative Bloom, Democrat, New
York, director of the commission, de-
Tended the proposed expenditures and
declared that New York spent "aS much
money yesterday in welcoming Admiral
Byrd as we propose to spend for the
celebration"
Thinks Staff Too Large.
La Guardia conceded that there is
need for preparatory work" for the
celebration to be held two years hence.
but asked who ever heard of such
a staff for publicity work?"
He read the items of proposed ex-
penditure, including $4,000 for a pub
licity director, $4,000 for a special
writer, $4,000 for magazine writer.
$4,000 for an editor, $4,000 for sup
plies and stationery. $4,000 for print
ing and binding, $25,000 for a movie
scenario. and, he shouted, $4,000 for
clippings"
He contended that I'VE should not
start of with a vast pay roll two years
in advance" and declared that there
was no need to spend $4,000 for news
paper clippings, so that Sol Bloom
can see what the papers are writing
about him" At this time, he continued,
with many men out of work in the
country, the money could be better
spent.
Bloom Defends Plan.
Representative Bloom declared that
this is Nationwide celebration" and
that the bulk of the work must be done
this year in advance.
I'VE are trying to give you a celebra-
ton that the world will be proud Of"
he declared, and added that 1T is some
thing that is needed at this time"
La Guardias amendment failed of
adoption, 81 to 6.
