OBSTACLES TO
DISARMA
VIEWED FATAL
Depression, Debt ParIey and
ManChurian Conflict
Portend Failure.
BY HENRY WOOD
United Press stan Correspondent

GENEVA, Dec. 31.--The League
of Nations today faced a call for
a world disarmament conference
Feb. 2 even though it was apparent
that the time was the most in
opportune in history for such a
meeting.
The only possible exception to
worldwide governmental opinion
against the conference was that
of the United States. But no gov
ernment was ready to accept the
responsibility of asking an adjourn
ment.
The recent British round robin
to the interested governments ask
ing the advisability of continuing
with the selected date failed to elicit
single request for adjournment.
The last chance appeared to rest
in the possibility that Ambassador
Charles G. Dawes might explain the
inopportunity of the situation to
President Hoover.
League of Nations leaders fig
ured that three predominating
questions relegated disarmament to
fourth place, worldwide depression,
the coming reparations and debts
conference, and the Manchurian
situation.
In the event that the conference
is called as scheduled with the
above three situations unsettled, it

KING CAROL FACES
DRAMATIC CRISIS
Peasant Parliament Control
Is Expected to Cause
New Election.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

BY Gable to The Star.
VIENNA, Austria, April 30.-King
Carol faces the most dramatic crisis
Of his career as King Of Rumania
today as his handpicked cabinet meets
the vigorously oppositionist Parlia-
ment.
The National Peasant party, which
controls flve-sixthS of the Deputies and
which, through its leader, Julius
to the throne, is ignored in the present
government and will fight it bitterly.
King Carols little band of picked
men cannot hope to survive vote OF
confidence, and thus it is expected that
Parliament will be Summarily dis
missed. This does not necessarily
mean q formal dictatorship, since
Premier Nicolas Jorga will then an
nounce new elections.
BY the queer electoral law Of Ru-
mania, which gives 80 per cent Of the
seats to any party getting 40 per cent
of the votes, the government which
conducts the elections Is bound to win.
Therefore the opponents Of King Carol
consider dissolution Of Parliament as
a ruse whereby his personal govern
ment will be perpetuated under what
seems a legitimate parliamentary
facade.
Mr.. Manu- and the peasants are ex-
pected to fight these tactics to the
utmost
King Carol is in close consultation
with Prof. Jorga-who once spanked
him as a boy-and the man who is gen.
orally regarded as the closest power tc
the throne, Mihal Manoilescu, arch
plotter who engineered King Carols
coup last June Against this trinity are
arrayed flve-sixths Of the legally con-
stituted representatives Of the people OF
Rumania.

GRAND JURY TO
 HEAR MANSFIELD MURDER TRAGEDY
Prosecutor Will Ask That
 Mrs Emily Helen ROb- 7, erts Cobb Be Held for
 Killing Husband

Mansfield, Mass, Nov 17.-(UP) -District Attorney William c. Crossley was to ask Bristol county grand jury at New Bed ford to-day to indict Mrs Emily Helen Roberts Cobb on a charge of wilfully slaying her husband, Justin at their home here late Thursday.
 Cobb, s1-year old jewelry man. ufacturer, died at Peter Bent Brig ham hospital in Boston few hours after a shot from 12-gauge gun shattered his jaw. Mrs Cobb, 26, former musical comedy dancer, is at Ducy hospital in Brockton with head, face and body bruises.
 The couple, parents of two chill dren, fought at the end of an all- day drinking bout. Margaret Davis, IS, who resigned as maid at the Cobb home less than two hours before the shooting, re- vealed the possible origin of the brawl. Cobb became enraged, she said, when his wife took the last drink from a bottle. He went out to buy more liquor, she de- clared.
 Mrs Cobb insists her husband shot himself after beating her. Dr Frederick s. Griffin, family doc tor, known to her as Uncle Fred" believes her. T feel that if there was anything else she would tell me-" said the physician. Captain Charles J. Van Amburgh. state ballistics expert, has found finger prints on the shotgun, and they were to be compared with those of Mrs Cobb.

PHONE COMPANY
 AGAINST EXTRAS
"Attachnlents" More Apt to Hinder Efficiency
 Than Help Hearing
MANY NOVEL DEvISES

Novel devices made to be at- tached to the telephone instrument with the allegation that they will improve the quality of voice trans- mission and will make conversa- tion over the wire more clear are more apt to be hiAdrances to the officient operation of the telephone, according to engineers of the Sou thern New England Telephone company. The practice of attaching such devices to the telephone has largely disappeared, however, since the advent of the hand-set which does not lend itself as readily to such attachments as the .desk set.
 Every now and then some new kind of a telephone attachment makes its appearance in Connect cut cities, but usually it is quite noticeable that their main purpose is to advertising one or another product or service. Devices of this type are customarily given away, since If they were to be sold tele- phone users would think twice be- fore attaching them to their tele- phones. Much knicknacks designed for use with the telephone actually interfere with efficient service. Among these are the decorative covers which are often used to hood the instrument. The receiver hook is very likely to become caught in the cloth of such covers, thus putting the station out of or- der.
 The telephone instrument is the product of more than half a cen- tury of experiment, experience and research. It has been brought as near to perfection as modern science can make 1t. Consequently, there is extreme doubt if any superficial device or attachment can improve 1t. The telephone in- strument Is complicated yet stur- dily built mechanism consisting of more than two hundred parts, so that the addition of another piece of metal or celluloid Is not a means of Increasing It's efficiency,

In this huge, full stage unit, Miss Irene Wolfe, William Carbon, Helen Gordon, Tito Sorrentos and Mickey Malenga, have the featured roles.

RED CROSS BANK BOOTHS COLLECT S40O'
FEDERAL JOBS
 IN CONNECTICUT
Examinations to Be Held in January in IA Dif-
 ferent Cities
IN THIS STATE

The government should make no delay in filling all positions in the federal service, so that as many as possible may be taken from the ranks of the unemployed. The de- precision hit people in all walks of life alike so that people equipped to do clerical work feel 1t as we'll as others. [.
 Examination of several hundred Connecticut residents who seek to become stenographers and typists for Uncle Sam will be held by the federal civil service commission in IA cities of the state beginning January 9 it was learned at the commission today.
 In response to an announce ment by the commission some weeks ago that open competitive examinations for positions as sten- ographers and typists would be held, 5S,000 persons in all parts +Of the country applied. Examining them is going to be quite a job, and the commission has decided that the Quizzes will be conducted in 500 places throughout the nation.
 For the convenience of those in Connecticut who applied for the jobs, examinations will be held Tn Hartford, Bridgeport, Canaan, Dan- bury, Meriden, Middletown. New Britain, New Haven, New London, Putnam, Stamford, Torrington, Wa terbury and Willimantic. The quiz. zes will be started January 9 and continued until all applicants have been examined.
 Connecticut is now in arrears to the extent of 19S federal jobs to which the state is entitled under the provisions of the civil service law. The state is entitled to 501 such positions and on the 14th of this month had residents in only 303 jobs of this type. This indicates that those passing the stenogra- pher and typist examinations in Connecticut next January will be placed well up on the preferred list of the civil service commis- sion.
