HOPE FOR ARMS
SESSION FADING
League of Nations Turns
Study Over to Experts.

BIZ United Press
GENEVA, Nov. 17.-The possibil-
fly of calling q world disarmament
conference in 1881 appeared to fade
today when the League of Nations
preparatory disarmament commits
sion adopted a French resolution
combining the study of the budgetary
limitation of land ornaments to a
committee of experts.
The result of the experts studies
will be reported to the secretary
general of the league and be sub
mitted to each nation before q gen
eral disarmament conference is
called. Many observers doubted
whether the experts would be able
to complete their work in time for
it to be studied before the tentative
date set for a general disarmament
conference next year.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. IT. - The
Louisville Security bank and the
American Mutual Savings bank, the
latter Negro-owned and operated

the National Bank Of Kentucky and
the Louisville Trust Company failed
to open for business.
The Security bank was affiliated
with the National Bank, which was
taken over by the federal controller
Of currency. The Negro bank was
affiliated with the Louisville Trust
Company, which was placed in the
hands Of the state banking commits
sionef.
The four banks combined list re-
sources aggregating $65, 100000.
All the institutions were declared
solvent, but it was said that it "was
necessary to close them to conserve
the resources and protect creditors,
depositors and all others concerned.
Closing of the banks was de-
scribed in local financial circles as
an outgrowth of runnors circulated
following the collapse Of Caldwell
& Co., of Nashville, Tenn, largest
investment house in the south.
However, James Brown, president of
the National bank, reiterated today
that plans for a group merger with
Caldwell & Co., were abandoned
several days before the brokerage
went into the hands of a receiver.

Jones, WINNER Proposals
Scheduled to Be Laid
Before legislature:

The Jones and WINNER plans for
revising the school aid system OF
Indiana occupied the attention Of
the state school aid commission
meeting at the Statehouse today.
Arthur H. Sapp, Huntington,
chairman of the commission, said
the two plans would be drafted in
fiscal form at today's meeting and
a report of the work would be sub
mitted to Governor Harry G. Leslie.
The two bills will be presented to
the 1881 general assembly, one to
the house of representatives and the
other to the senate, Sapp said.
Briefly, the WINNER plan pro-
vides for creation of a state aid re-
lief board consisting of the super
intendent of public instruction,
chief examiner of the state board
of accounts and chairman of the
state tax board. It further pro-
vides for a fiat levy Of $3.50 in all
counties for school revenue pur-
poses, with the state making up
the dl1erenceS between Jhe revenue
returned by the levy and the cost
of the schools.
Provisions of the Jones plan
would create state aid board.
Relief money would be distributed
from an equalization fund on o
basis of the number of teaching
units. Those units would be based
upon the number of pupils and
teachers in the various schools.
According to the plan, mini
mum cost for each teaching unit
would be the basis of state aid dis
tribution. All costs in excess Of
the minimum would be met by the
county. The minimum cost would
be $500 a teaching unit for the first
two years, to be increased until a
minimum of $1,000 is reached.

1000 men GO
BACK TO JOBS
IN AUTO SHOPS
Gigantic Steel Plant at
ECorse, Mich, Starts
Active Production.
BY PAUL WEBER
United Press staff Correspondent

DETROIT. NOV. l7-Acts of faith
in the nations economic soundness
from two of Michigan's greatest in
dustries today as the second half
Of November and the crucial part
Of the winter season opened.
The new developments, hailed
here as the most cheerful news of
the month, we're:
l. Recall of 1000 automobile work
ers laid off during the depression
period.
2. Beginning of production in the
new $20,000,000 plant Of the Great
Lakes Steel Corporation at Ecorse,
few miles west of Detroit.
The good news of the motor i1,-
dustry came from Pontiac and De-
troit. Before the middle of the
week Oakland Motors at Pontiac
and its companion plant Of the
Fisher Body Corporation, will have
recalled to work approximately 5000
employees.
1000 Now at Work
In Detroit, Hudson Motors put
back to work today 1000 men laid
off during the slack period. This
raises the total working force Of the
Hudson plants here to 1000.
The new line OF Hudsons, priced
at the lowest figures in the COM
pany's twenty-five years of pro-
duction, will be placed on display
before the end Of the month, &C
cording to President William j. Nc
Aneeny.
The increased activity at Pontiac
is to produce the new Oakland
Fights and Pontiac SKIES. Assembly
OF the cars is scheduled to start
Tuesday. The factories will work
on a six-day week basis.
Recall Old Employees
Oakland now employs $500 men
and the pay roll will be swelled by
recall of LOO. The Fisher body
plant will add approximately 1,70C
men, bringing it's total WORKING
force to about 1900. Only old en-
ployes will be put back to work.
The new steel plant of the Great
Lakes corporation was opened Off
cially Saturday and active produc-
ton started today. The plant is
claimed to be the worlds best
equipped open hearth mill. It's totaI
cost will be $25,OO0,O00, as $4,000
600 more is to be spent on further
construction to be completed next
June.
The plant will have an annual
capacity of 100000 tons of stee
products.
Represents Michigan Bid
It represents the newest bid OF
the Michigan steel district for the
business which hitherto has beer
commanded largely by the great
steel areas of Pennsylvania, eastern
Ohio and northern Illinois and
Indiana.
~ It's location on the Detroit river
a few miles from the center of the
motor industry, and on the CONT
nent's busiest inland waterway
give the new plant advantages not
enjoyed by mills in the older pro-
duction areas.
Not only has it an immediate
market in the Michigan motor
plants, but it is comparatively near
to the ore mines of the north and
to sources Of other raw materials.
Freight rates on coal to the
Ecorse mill will be higher than to
plants located farther south and
nearer the coal mines, but the
conpany's promoters believe this
will be more than Offset by other
advantages of the Michigan site.

Reviews Mandate History
Reciting the history of the Brit
ish mandate, Rabbi Heller said
Great Britain's failure to COOP
craze in Jewish immigration to
Palestine, its petpetuation of an IN
just taxing system and unfair dis
tribution of funds for education and
its denuding Of the Holy Land of
the protection of British arms cul-
minated last summer with the slay-
ing Of $50 Jews in a series of riots.
The labor government through
its remuneration of the Balfour
agreement is just as much respon-
sible for the riots as the Arabs
themselves" he said. THE Brit
ish government is guilty of double
dealing-it has repudiated every
reasonable Interpretation of the
League Of Nations mandate which
told the Jews they could make OF
Palestine a Jewish center of culture,
education and art-our home"
