MORAL EFFECT SEEN VALUE.
League Makes Sure Manchucuo Will
Not Be Recognized.

GENEVA, Februarye8 (P).-The gen.
eral belief in League of Nations circles
today was that the great value Of its
condemnation of japanese policy in the
Far East, finally given to the world
yesterday after year and half spent
in investigation and discussion, would
be the moral effect upon the empire OF
the rising sun.
While Yesterdays voluminous report
and recommendations on the Manchu-
rian dispute between China and Japan
were made under a League covenant
provision calling for any recommenda-
tions deemed just and proper" it is
noted that no penaliZing measures
against Japan were proposed.
Outright approval of the document
Ay the full League Assembly next week,
excepting only Japan, is expected as a
matter of course but what will happen
after that Is decidedly in the field Of
conjecture.
The next move is expected to depend
on the attitude of the United States
and Russia, who were invited to join
in directing peace negotiations between
Japan and China. A Russian spokesman
already has ventured the belief that the
dispute will never reach the stage OF
negotiations.
a dIQlnal pOluG III Cle League pIo-
posal is that nations of the world con-
tinue to refuse to recognize Manchukuo,
the government established by Japan
In the territory 1t wrested from China.
Today is the first anniversary of the
birth of that new nation and still no
countries in the world-aside from ia,
pan, of course, have indicated even that
they are considering such action.
League vigilance at least may serve to
prolong indefinitely this attitude.
There is a feeling among some League
delegates that the United States would
join an arms embargo against Japan,
but this is not generally considered
possibility now.

An opportunity to cut out such ex-
pense items as its s8,0o0-a-year barber
shop and $4,000 annual mineral water
bill will come to the Senate next week.
But whether the Senate will be asked
to eliminate the barbering cost Is a
question on which Senator Carl Hay
den, Democrat, of Arizona, who will
sponsor some economy moves, intends
to maintain silence until he is ready to
act.
Hayden plans to offer an amendment
to the s16,OO0,0O0 legislative supply bill

carrying on the Senate" The Senate
is allotted $4,000 900 in that bill as
compared with 100000 for the House.

what I am going to ask for in specific
items"
But If his proposed amendment does
not cover the barber shop and mineral
water, some of his colleagues plan q
drive to include them in It. Hayden's
course of action leaves the way open
for them.

HOOVER APPOINTS
NEWTON TO BENCH
Names His Secretary to U. S.
Judgeship for District of
Minnesota.

President Hoover today sent to the
Senate the nomination of Walter H.
Newton, who has been one of his secre-
taries throughout his administration, to
be a United States district judge for the
Minnesota district.
This appointment Is to fill a vacancy
caused by the death Of Judge william
A. Cant.
After Mr. Hoover's defeat for re-
election in November 1t had frequently
been reported that Mr.. Newton, who
was one OF his closest political advisers
throughout the campaign and who was
a member Of Congress for 10 years prior
to becoming Mr.. Hoover's secretary,
would be appointed to the Federal
bench. The speculation was In connec-
ton principally with the vacancy from
the United States Circuit Court Of Ap-
peAls, hpt following an announced policy
on the part Of the Democrats In the
Senate not to confirm appointments for
the remainder of Mr.. Hoover's term, 1t
was thought that the possibility of Mr..
Newton's appointment was remote.
However, recently 1t has been init
mated that Democratic leaders of the
Senate have indicated a willingness to
make an exception in Mr. Newton's
case for the District Court appointment
rather than the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals.
In the announcement at the White
House today, no indication was given
on behalf of the President that any
assurances have been received by him
that Mr.. Newton's nomination will be
confirmed.
Mr.. Newton Is So and a resident of
Minneapolis. He received his legal
education at the University of Mime
sofa, receiving his law degree in 1906
He resigned his seat in the House
July l, 1929, to become one of Mr..
Hoover's secretaries While serving in
this latter capacity he handled mostly
legislative, patronage and political mat
terS for the Executive.

ALE NONRESIDENT
PUPILS MUST PAY
House Turns Down Proposal
to Exempt Children of
U. S. Employees.

All nonresident pupils who enroll in
the District public schools in the future
will be required to pay tuition as a re-
suit of the action of the House today in
refusing to continue the exemption OF
children of Government employees and
Army and Navy officers.
An amendment to the 1884 District
appropriation bill, offered by Represen-
tative Smith, Democrat, of Virginia,
to exclude children of Government en-
ployes and Army and Navy officers from
payment of tuition was voted down, Al
to 81.
The House also defeated, "a to II. an
amendment of Representative De Priest,
Republican, of Illinois, to appropriate
$4,000 for the purchase of land for
an addition to the Phelps Vocational
School on Vermont avenue and at the
same time voted to reduce the appro-
priation for beginning construction Of
a new senior high school at Forty-first
and Chesapeake streets. The bill car
ried S500,000 for the school and the
HOUSE cut the amount TO S4ooUUU.
Balance Refused.
The reduction resulted from move
of Mr. De Priest to get funds for land
for the Phelps School. His amendment
called for a reduction in the senior
high school item so as to provide the
$4,000 for land for the Phelps School.
The House voted for the cut, but re-
fused to allow the balance to be used
for other purposes.
An attempt to restore the appropria-
ton for the District militia to the
Budget Bureau figure Of s54 400 also
was to be made by Representative
Smith today.
The bill, as reported from the Ap-
preparations Committee, carries 1877
for the militia, a drastic reduction
under the amount recommended by
the Budget Bureau. The cuts were
made in items for personal services,
the pay Of troops other than Govern
ment employees and expenses of camps
and miscellaneous items.
Mr.. Smith said he feared the severe
trimming Of the militia funds, as pro-
posed in the bill, would seriously cripple
the activities of the District National
Guard, which he believes should be

TREASURY-POSTAL
CONFEREES REACH
PARTIAL ACCORD
Bratt0n 5 Per Cent Savinu
Amendment Still Is in
Disagreement.
GROUP WOULD RESTORE
AIRMAIL s $4,000, 900
House to Consider Those Matters
Which Could Not Be Adjust
ed in Conference.

With an agreement on the presiden-
tial reorganization powers substantially
as passed by the Senate, but with the
Bratton per cent saving amendment
still In disagreement, conferees on the
Treasury-Post ONCE appropriation bill
completed their work this afternoon for
the time being to enable the House to
consider those questions which could
not be adjusted in the conference.
The Senate conferees yielded on the
airmail issue, agreeing to restore the
SIS, 1000, 900 the House had allowed for
operation of the airmail service during
the next fiscal year.
Regarding Government reorganiza-
ton, the conferees made slight changes
in the wording CT the Senate plan, but
the changes do not alter the essential
features. The Senate reorganization
amendment would enable President
elect Roosevelt to issue orders for the
consolidation or abolition of Govern
ment bureaus and independent estab-
lishments, which orders would take ef-
feet unless Congress provided otherwise
by law within 80 days after they are
issued.
Regrouping Vote Due.
This would mean that If Congress
wanted to hold up the Presidents re-
organization plan 1t would have to pass
joint resolution, and that would have
to be signed by the President. If he
vetoed the resolution, two-thirds vote
of the House and Senate would be nee
eSsary to stop the reorganization plan.
Although the conferees came together
on reorganization after modifying the
language somewhat, this question will
have to go back to the House for a
vote, as well as those issues ON which
no agreement was reached.
It Is understood the House conferees
were unwilling to agree to the Bratton
amendment, under which department
heads would have to save per cent
from whatever total Congress finally
allows in each appropriation bill, with
a restriction that no pay cuts or fur
loughs could be ordered TO accomplish
lnng thus saving s 0meiais .da,ro thso1snout the
this amendment with the Costigan ban
on pay cuts or furloughs would neces-
state dismissal Of thousands of Gov
ernment employees because Of the diff
flculty of saving that much on expen-
ditures other than personnel.
Report to House Tuesday.
When the conferees report to the
House, probably ON Tuesday, it will be
for the House to decide whether it
wants to reject the Bratton amendment
or make changes In 1t, which would
then be considered in a further con-
ference.
The conferees also will report dis
agreement to the House on the Senate
amendment to permit automatic pro-
motions for certain groups, including
Army, Navy, some postal workers and
District police and firemen.
1t Is understood the conferees re-
stored the 100000 cut from the In
ternal Revenue fund in the Senate and
the 81 400 900 cut from the Customs
Bureau in the Senate.
