Conference at IhHhIOn

London, March 4 P-Secretary Sumson and Prime Minister Mac Donald got together at 10 Downing street with the idea of trying to work out some Franco Italian con- promise which will be sufficiently interesting to Andre Tardicu to draw the French premier back to London,
 The American and British dclega- Ition chiefs were taking M. Tardieu at his word that he would return 10 the conference when there was something worth while for him 10 consider. Colonel Stimson was ac- companicd by Ambassador Morrow land Senator Robinson. An American spokesman told the Associated Press that hope had not by any means been abandoned for q five power agreement, saying that as long as the five nations represent cd at the conference were still there there was still hope.
 Encouraged by Grandi For this reason the Americans were fayorably impressed by Dino Grandi's statement last week that he would remain in London q week after everybody else had departed. Coupled with this is the statement of NJ. 15rand, French foreign min ister, that he is coming back here and never intended to quit the con- ference when he left last week for Paris.
 It was said in Japanese hcadquar- 1 ters this forenoon that there was no certainty that the reply of the Japanese government to the Amcri- can ratio proposals would be recciv- cd this week.

the knocking of the big lamp

the one who had bumped into the
lamp was Nita's murderer-or muir
