i. S. ACCEPTS ARMS
HOLIDAY OF A YEAR.
Hugh Wilson Announces Ap-
provaI, but Excludes De-
stroyer Program.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 23.-Hugh r.
Wilson, representing the United States
in the League of Nations disarmament
discussions, announced today his Gov
eminent accepted the Italian proposal
for a one-year ornaments holiday.
He added, however, the United States
excluded from the effect Of the arma-
ments truce its destroyer building pro-
gram. undertaken principally to relieve
unemployment.
Naotake Sato, the japanese, spokes-
man. rejected the Italian proposal, urg-
ing it should be considered at the Gen.
eral Disarmament Conference next
February.
truce Is to have any value at all, it
should be concluded at once. Any de-
lay, he said, would destroy its impor-
tant psychological effect.
The Italian proposal, first advanced
by Foreign Minister Dino Grandi and
later elaborated by Gen. Alberto de
Martini, is for a "gentlemen's agree
ment" by which the powers would re-
frain from increasing their present
armed strength for year.
It would be agreed not to increase
figures already voted for the current
year; all new naval construction, in
GLIDING requirements, would be sus-
pended, and aircraft would be built
only for replacement Of unserviceable
units.
I'm general" Mr.. Wilson told the
Disarmament Committee, the sugges-
lions relating to land and air forces APP
pear to be practicable and Of nature
acceptable to my Government.
THE present cruiser level Of the
United States is considerably lower
than the figure provided for in the
London agreement. Thus, any under
taking not to augment existing naval
strength causes us embarrassment and
dislocates our construction plans.
Nevertheless, we regard the general
quetion of disarmament as so important
and the necessity of creating a pro-
pitious physiological condition for the
Disarmament Conference so urgent, that
We are willing to forego, for the dura-
ton of the truce, our treaty rights in
this respect"
Says Britain Favors Plan.
LONDON, September % (P.-The Brit
ish attitude toward the italian proposal
for an ornaments truce Is a favorable
one, Stanley Baldwin, acting head of
the national government in Prime Min
lister MacDonald's absence, told the
House of Commons today.
Lord Cecil, at Geneva, had been given
instructions that he could agree to
naval proposals subject to their ac-
ceptance by all other powers, Mr..
Baldwin said In reply to a question.
He added Lord Cecil also was in
structed he could give an understanding
that the British government would not
increase its military and air estimates
for I932-I933 above their present low
level" unless unforeseen conditions or
emergencies arose.

Arizona Law
Found Illegal

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 20. U.R)
An act passed by the legislature
substituting the use of lethal gas
for hanging was ruled unconstitu-
tional today by the office OF K.
Berry Peterson, Arizonas attorney
general.
It was pointed out that hanging
was readopted in this state in 1915
by referendum and that the legis-
lature lacks authority to repeal an
act adopted by vote of the peo-
pie.
The flaw in the lethal gas bill,
the attorney general said, was that
a clause providing for a referen-
dunn was not included.
AS a result of the ruling, Nevada
remains the only state in the Union
using gas as a means of execution.

COURT REFUSES
MOTION OFFERED
In BOMBING CASE

.Resurrecting the A. L. Hodges
murder trial, thought to have been
closed incident in local courts,
Edward B. Patterson, attorney for
the man who is serving q man.
slaughter term in San Quentin,
yesterday afternoon made an nn-
successful move to amend court
records In regard to the case.
Patterson wished TO amend that
part of District Attorney Elmer
Heald's address to the jury which
dealt with the testimony Of An
thony d. Patton, alleged accom-
plice of Hodges. who was later dis
missed on motion of Heald.
Heald stated to the jury that
convicted Hodges. said Patterson,
that Patton would be tried by an
other jury. The defense attorney
contended that even when he made
this statement the district attor-
ney intended to dismiss charges
against Patton.
Judge A. C. Finney held that
evidence introduced in court
showed that Patton had not been
promised immunity for his testi-
mony. Legally, argued the district
attorney in opposing Patterson's
motion, he could not dismiss the
charge at the time of Hodges trial,
since Patton was not being jointly
tried.
Patterson wished to amend the
court records because he is of the
opinion that the amendment he
wished would offer grounds to the
upper court to find reversible error
in Hodges trial, thus effecting a
reversal of the decision of the local
court. The court denied the mo-
ton.
