atlantic seadromes continued today to
hold up action by the Public Works
Administration on a request by Com
merce officials for an allotment Of
$1,500, 900 of public works funds for ex-
perimental purposes.

derstanding yesterday between Secre-
tary of Commerce Roper, who had an

Legal Advice Sought.
Public works officials are said also to
be seeking legal advice on whether they
have the power to grant funds for activ-
tiles on the high seas outside the limits
Of the United States. Numerous inter-
national problems must be settled before
the proposed chain of floating airports
could be established. These problems
are concerned both with the rights OF
air transport planes Of the various pow
ers to use the airports In peacetime
and with the status of the seadromes

was prorogued until the opening of the
new session, November 81, after the
reading of speech by King George to-
day In which he expressed hope that
world disarmament difficulties can be
overcome.
"My government have throughout
taken an active part in the Disarma-
ment Conference" his Majesty said
"and the British draft presented March
10 was adopted as the basis for pro-
posed convention.
"I earnestly trust that the difficulties
which have since arisen may be sur
mounted.
THE withdrawal of Germany month
ago from the deliberations at Geneva
necessarily dislocated the program, but
work for international disarmament by
agreement between the nations must be
vigorously pursued"
Arms Procedure Attacked.
Regarding Britain's general situation,
King George said: THE continued WILL
ingness of my people to bear heavy
sacrifices made it possible for this coun-
try almost alone among the great
countries of the world TO maintain Q
satisfactory balance between its national
income and expenditure"
The prorogation came after a session
lasting Just five days less than year.
The closing session saw bitter crit
fcism leyeled at the Administrative
handling Of the British case at Ge-
neva. The opposition charged the
Government with lack of zeal in pur-
suing a policy of arms reduction ana
of failing to reflect the desire OF the
nation at large for peace.
Speedy selection of a place agree
able to Germany for new disarmament
discussions will result, 1t is hoped, from
q meeting at Geneva, to which Sir
John Simon and Capt. Anthony Eden
It was generally indicated that Great
Britain's emissaries were ready TO rep
resent the Government as willing TO
CONSIDER concessions to Germany in
arms.

On the way to Geneva 1t was un-
derstood Sir John. who is foreign Sec
retary, and Capt. Eden, undersecretary,
would confer with Joseph Paul-Bon-
cour. French foreign minister.
M. Paul-Boncour planned to join
their train and accompany the British
southwark, 1t was said.
Meanwhile, some political COM
mentators here referred today to a
rumor that Germany threatened to de-
nounce the treaty Of Versailles unless
she obtains concessions as supplying one
reason for the urgency OF the Geneva
gathering, but no authoritative substan-
tiation was forthcoming.
In addition to representatives OF
France and Great Britain. Italy also
may have emissaries at Geneva over
the week end.
Sir John planned also to confer with
the American Minister to Switzerland,
Hugh r. Wilson, head of the United
States delegation in the absence OF
Norman H. Davis.
London and Rome were mentioned as
possible meeting places to be proposed

morrow in an attempt to revttalize the
disarmament conference.
The first problem, observers said,
would involve political conversations
regarding the position of Germany,
which withdrew last month from the
World Disarmament Conference and
the League of Nations.
The attitude of the German govern
ment was still described as wait and

1t was believed in some circles that
an encouragement to the negotiations
might lie in lessening of tension be-

other matters, including the Saar Basin

 Tho young mans uncle notified the police and the detectives went gunning for the gunnlan. They found several youngsters with rifles and one with n weapon which might possibly have fired the shot. Other young men found in the vicinity of the avenue stated that they saw two young lads running away few minutes after Verglio complained of being hit.
 The injured youngsters was later taken to the Waterbury hos pital for examination. The police found one witness who clamed that the bullet hit verglio after pene- trating tho side of his uncle's truck, which explains why he was so for tunate in escaping serious injury.
