GENEVA ARMS FARLEY
 SPLIT WIDE OPEN ON TWO WTAL ISSUES

GENEVA, May 26, 1.-The Gene va disarmament conference was split wide open as the3 great pow CTS divided into diametrically opposite sides on two vital issues armaments and securities.
 First, France and Japan assault ed the Washington and London Naval treaties, to the defense of which rushed Great Britain, the United States and Italy
 Second, Great Britain 3emphat- ically opposed any attempt by Russia and France and the lat ter's allies to force the conference to accept the rigid definition of an "aggressor" which Paris demands as the basis for security guar antees."
 Here Italy and Germany backed the British view, which is also the American doctrine, although Nor man H. Davis, ambassador at large, did not speak.
 Third, The third feature of, the days developments in the general committee was the abortive at tempt of Sir John Simon, British foreign secretary, to fly to Paris to see Premier Daladier in anoth- CT deSparate effort to induce France to agree to reduce her of fensive armaments and to accept a modified version of the Musso- lini -four power pact" project among Britain, Italy, Germany and France.

LOCAL WATERFRONT TAXES 0N ATMOSPHERE
 OF GREAT ACTIVITY

Stewards waterfront took on the atmosphere of great seaport last night when the Alaska s. s. Go. liner Aleutian nosed up to the government dock to occupy what space was left by the USS Dis- coverer.
 Capt. Heinie Berger found things too crowded for his Cook Inlet liner the MS Discoverer, and nov ed over to the cannery dock.
 Over at the Standard Oil dock the converted former USS Cable ship Dellwood, owned by P. E. liar ris, prominent Alaska salmon packer, extended the line of littor- al to the limits of the berthing space in the western blight.
 This left only the floating stage for small craft with the Flamo berthed to the piling, and the Putt n Scoot," skippered by Monsieur Clarence Larson, inside the float. The Sub Cauliflower was out Q sight.
 To make it a full house. Pilot Arthur Woodley moored his big modern radio-equipped Bellanca plane to the outer bulkhead of the float.
 Today the staunch old MS Box CT, creosote tie laden, and the SS Redondo of the A. s. s. Co.,.are due. The last berthing space is the San Juan cold storage dock, up the bay.
 To create something akin to g grand slam of transportation, two additional airplaneS dipped into the shelter harbor, remained for dinner and sped away to the h. terior to beat a rainstorm which bore down early in the evening.
 AS if there was not enough astir above and below, Pilot Art Wood ley, with five passengers, went joy riding out to Prince William Sound, to get a glimpse of the majestic Aleutian reported due to arrive, or any other liners making for port.
 En route the MS Discoverer was sighted from the air. Thru the drizzle of rain it magnified itself into a great liner, and the joy riders turned back, to later see the little Discoverer "putt-putting" with her diesel up to the dock and Captain Berger's chest expanded like pouter pigeon with it's young for having been mistaken for the big ocean greyhound.
