AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Senator Gets Headlines Despite
French Premier's Talk
With President

Washington, Oct. 24-(P,- Senator
Borah found Saturday that he had
projected himself into the Hoover
Laval negotiations with such unex-
pected and terrific force as to all but
take the spotlight away from the
white house.
While the president and the French
premier were talking Friday with
only q six-line statement to tell the
world what it was about, Borah spoke
for publication at great length and
in great detail, even suggesting re-
vision Of the Versailles treaty and re-
adjustment of the Polish corridor.
The words of the foreign relations
committee chairman were read with
amazement by many officials who
had been counselling against any
public expression just now on these
delicate subjects.
From the front pages Of several Of
the newspapers read In Washington
the massive features of the senator
looked out at readers, while the pho
tos Of Hoover and Laval were discov-
cred in subordinate places.
Cautions Reporters
Some of these papers also promi-
nently quoted Laval as cautioning the
French newspapermen who came
over with him not to take too seri-
ously the words of senator who
spoke only for himself, and as warn
ing that he did not come across the
sea to engage In 'polemics" with
Borah.
The origin of this statement was
not easily established. Evidently it
came from someone In the French
delegation, through someone in the
corps Of French correspondents. The
premier himself, closeted overnight at
the white house, made no immediate
move to confirm or deny that he had
rebuked the senator. although other
French dignitaries predicted an Of
ficial reputation of the quotation
might be forthcoming.
Meanwhile Hoover and Laval Sat
urday morning concluded their dis
cussions Of how the United States and
France can expedite world economic
recovery.

upon Japan to retire its troops to the
Manchurian railway zone by Nov. is.
The single opposing vote was cast by
the Japanese representative.

rejecting Japan's counter-proposal BY
q similar vote.
The counter proposal contained
mysterious fundamental points
which Japan insisted should be set
tied in advance by direct negotta-
tions with China. Exactly what these
fundamental points" were was not
explained.
The technical validity Of the coun-
ellis demand that Japan complete
evacuation by Nov. l6 remains to be
considered, as the action was not
unanimous, but the japanese govern

position.
After the vote, which was impress
sively staged by roll call, Aristide
