MOSCOW, May 18.-The possibility
OF a temporary Anglo-American al
lance against Japanese expansion was
raised today In comment on President
Roosevelt's message by For Industrial
ization, the organ Of the commissariat
for heavy industry.
After the Washington rehearsal for
the World Economic Conference" the
publication said, "the United States
now appears In the role of world arbiter.
but several governments have refused
to accept that arbitration"
Japan's stand, the paper continued,
would be affected by the Roosevelt nom
aggression proposals, and Japan also
is opposed to the Macdonald disarma-
ment plan, which Is supported by the
American President.
Thus" the editorial asserted, Japan
faces the necessity Of declaring itself
not only against Roosevelt but against
Macdonald, which may foreshadow q
temporary Anglo American alliance
against Japan's desire to increase its
expansion.
"As the United States also is inter-
ested in French diplomatic support
against its Asiatic rival 1t now as
sumes q more decisive position against
the revisional intentions Of Germany.

The name of First National Bank in

meeting Of directors Of the five banks
yesterday. but it developed today there
is sufficient official objection in the
Treasury Department to this name to
cause its abandonment.
Among the names understood to still
be under consideration are several
which have never been used in the
National Capital before. Outstanding
among these we're the United National

Consolidated National Bank and others.
It was expected a name might be
picked today.
Stock Sale Pushed.
Committees were being formed in
each of the five member banks OF the
new merger to push the sale Of stock.
Officials and directors of the banks will
be expected to subscribe largely to this
new stock and the depositors especially

invest probably up to 10 per cent of
their deposits.

mercial Bank Negotiations are &C

been reached in the matter early this
afternoon.
The capital and surplus of the new
bank will be at least $1,250,000 OF

to surplus. The stock is sold at any
of the member banks or their branches

With indications that the size Of the
Federal contribution and the question
of whether the District should be re-
quired to make another S1,000,000 re-
fund to the United States next year

points of contention Senate and House
conferees on the 1884 District appro-
priation bill began work today, but did
not complete the task.
After celebrating two hours, the con-
ferees adjourned until tomorrow morn

The House conferees. it is understood
wanted to dispose of the question of the
Federal contribution and the park re-
fund item at the outset, but these is
sues were not gone into in detail for
final settlement at todays session. The
House fixed the Federal contribution for
next year at 5,700,000, and the Senate
raised it to s6,25O,O0O The House
voted to require the city to pay an
other annual installment of $1,000 900
to the United States toward the Capper-
Cramton park improvement program,
but the Senate struck this out after it
had been brought out that this rate of
reimbursement was based on the expec-
tation that S16,000.000 would be ad-
vanced. whereas only about S3500,0 900
has been spent in the District so far
and no further advances are contem-
plated for the time being.
Increase Reported Opposed.

indicated opposition today to increasing
the Federal contribution above the

ed to relieve the District government
from hardships that would result from

ments do not materially increase the

The reason for this is that the Sen
ate made available for school buildings
ana other purposes approximately ST.
900 900 of unexpended balances remain
ing in appropriations made in prior
years. The Senate also increased from
sl.050, 900 to $1,50o0oo the amount
which could be spent from the District
gasoline tax fund. Another Senate
amendment, intended to soften the
affect Of drastic reductions, would allow
the transfer of funds from one subhead
to another in various departments
The bill as rewritten by the Senate
carried a total of 1885 900. When
the gasoline tax fund is counted and
the several unexpended balances which
are carried forward, the bill would au-
thorize a total expenditure of about
$32, 100000.

President Roosevelt this afternoon
signed into law the much agitated
Tennessee Valley-Musle Shoals pow
er development bill.
Coincident with the imminent signing
Of the Tennessee Valley-Muscle Shoals
bill by President Roosevelt, it developed
today that the Government Is investi-
eating alleged misuse Of power facili-
ties at the Alabama wartime plant by
private concerns under recent Repub-
lican administrations.
Some study already has been made
and the data uncovered turned over
to the Justice Department for more
thorough search.
Secretary Ickes told newspaper men
the investigation resulted from a letter
sent to Senator Norris, Republican,
Nebraska soon after President Roose-
welt inspected Muscle Shoals before the
Inauguration.
Sent TO President.
The letter, the author of which was
not disclosed, was sent to the Presi-
dent by Norris, and Roosevelt asked
Ickes to look into it,
1ckeS said he employed Louis R. Gla-
Wis, then New York attorney, to 60 to
Muscle Shoals and investigate charges
that the Alabama Power Co. and the
Tennessee Electric Power Co. were in
terchanging power, instead of purchas-
ing it from the Government.
CLAWS submitted a detailed report
covering a weeks study and it has
been transmitted to Attorney General
Cummings for whatever action it ap-
pears desirable to take.
Declines to Reveal Data.
!ckes declined to make the report
public.
Since CLAWS went to Muscle Shoals
about six weeks ago. he has been en-
ployed to head the Bureau of Investiga-
tion Of the Interior Department.
Routine formalities on the Tennessee
Valley-Shoals legislation were complied
with today at the Capitol, prior to its
transmittal to the White House, where
President Roosevelt was expected to
sign it in the presence of congressional
hackers at about pm.
Late today President Roosevelt ex-
poets to sign the Tennessee Valley i'm
provement legislation, which gives the
Government complete control over the
operations of the giant Muscle Shoals
plants
Norris obtained congressional ap-
proval Of an amendment to his shoals
bill authorizing an investigation.
The amendment authorized the
President to ascertain whether there
has been any undue or unfair advantage
given to private persons, partnerships
or corporations by any officials or en-
ployes of the Government, or whether
in such matters the Gvernment has
been injured or unjustly deprived of
any Of its rights

j. s. AWAITS ACTION.
ON ARMS PLEDGES.
France Regarded as Key to
Success at ParIey if Hitler
Keeps Word.
BY the Associated Press.

American statesmen looked to Geneva
today for concrete indications Of
whether Germany and France have been
budged from their opposing and hither-
to irreconcilable stands on ornaments
by President Roosevelts epoch-making
appeal directly to the heads of 54 ma
tions.
First expressions from the President
of France in reply were polite and
friendly. Germany's Nal chancellor,
Adolf Hitler, pleased the world with the
conciliatory tone Of his address, in which
he approved the Presidents plan and
promised cooperation. Half a score of
other nations. including Great Britain,
acclaimed the action of the President
In official cablegrams.
But Mr.. Roosevelt and his fellow
statesmen, considering the realities of
the problem with which they are under
taking to deal, wanted to see the actions
which speak louder than words and fol-
lowed with intense interest the reopen
ing Of the Arms Conference.
DAVIS has Broad Authority.
The Presidents personal representa-
tive. Norman H. Davis, had broadest
authority to employ at Geneva long his
diplomatic experience and intimate
knowledge of the arms situation in fol-
lowing up in realistic fashion the move
launched by his chief.
As Davis and the President well knew,
the rock on which all previous efforts at
land and air disarmament have been
wrecked Is the tense feeling, a legacy
from the World War, between the de-
feated nations and the continental
powers which fought on the winning
side or owe their existence to the peace
treaties ending the conflict
Beneath the surface, Europe since the
war has been arrayed in two opposing
camps-the forces Of the status quo
established by the peace treaties and
the powers dedicated to revision of those
compacts, the most famous of which
was that drawn up at the palace of
Versailles with the aid of President
Woodrow Wilson, but rejected by the
American Senate.

Under the Versailles treaty Germany

ammunition and otherwise shorn of the
might which challenged the world in
1914.
But at the very beginning of the Sec
tion of the treaty which imposed these
restrictions 1t was set forth that they
were prescribed as a part of move to
