BY the Associated Press
GENEVA, Switzerland, October 25.-
The Steering Committee recommended
today that the Disarmament Confer
ence be adjourned until December as
reports circulated that Germany would
submit proposals under which she
could return to the parley and the
League Of Nations.
These reports, originating In German
circles. said the Reich's position would
be set forth after the plebiscite cleo
tions Of November II, called for when
the nations intention to withdraw from
both assemblages was announced.
The sense Of the meeting as sum-
married by one of the participants was
that the conference should continue
and should not in any way be used to
place Germany in an unfair position.
Work to Go On.
The Steering Committee was given
the power and the responsibility to
carry on its work during the recess.
1t will prepare the British draft for
existing differences.
Private negotiations with Germany,
probably on the sidelines, appear In
prospect.
Norman H. Davis, American repre-
sentative, has not decided on his i'm
mediate plans, but thinks the COM
mittee work likely will be important to
the conference in the future.
Progress to Decide.
The Steering Committees recon-
mendation was made with the under
standing that the parley resume De-
cember 4 if the president, Arthur Hen
derson. and the committee are convinced
sufficient progress has been made in
the meantime and it would be useful to
then convene.
Another meeting Of the Steering
Committee will be held tomorrow after
the session of the conference which
will pass upon the recommendation
made today.
1t is possible that If adjournment is
voted until December, Davis would pro-
ceed to Washington to consult with
President Roosevelt.

CHICAGO, october 25.-High winds
which churned Lake Michigan into
heavy sea caused damage at the World 5
Fair when large waves broke over the
eastern edge of Northerly Island and
washed away portions of the dirt road
traversed by sightseeing busses.
One end of the floating theater an

and workmen labored several hours to
secure it last night
Late in the evening a tug steamed
into the lagoon to stand by the Byrd
polar ship at the request of officers
aboard it. They said it was temporarily
without power and would be helpless
if it should break away from its
mOOring.
Most of the concessions along the
midway closed early in the evening as
the cold lake winds drove crowds away

TRANS|ENTS' CAMP
T0BE At BLUEMONT
Relief Director Reveals S12,.
600 Allotted for First
Months Operation.

Mount Weather, at Bluemont. Va,
the disused Government weather station
overlooking the Shenandoah Valley,
which was considered during the Cool
idge administration as the site for
Summer White House. may be the
future home of the Districts transient
unemployed.
Morris Lewis. director of transient
activities of the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration, today announced
that the District relief organization has
been allotted $4,000 for the first
months operation of a model transient
relief set-up. probably camp outside OF
the city, where transients needing relief
can be fed, housed and clothed and
given work that will earn their keep.
He disclosed that the Mount Weather
property, which includes large building
and several smaller structures, is one
of the foremost in consideration as
site for the camp. Fort Hunt. along the
stately Mount Vernon Memorial High
way, also is being considered as place
for concentration of the Districts
transient unemployed, Lewis said.
First Cash for Transients.
The $4,000 granted to start work in
establishing a model transient camp Is
the first money given the District for
transientS. The District had asked some
time ago for S60, ,000 based on estimates
that approximately $4,000 a month
would be needed for six months. Relief
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins pointed
out that in view of the uncertainty as
to the number of transients to be taken
care of, no estimates could be properly
given. and decided that the Federal
contribution to the care of the District
transients, which Is intended TO pay the
entire bill for transient relief, should be
apporti0ned on the basis OF needs, rather
than on any estimates. He said that
there was no limitation on the amount
of money that would be spent for care
of the Districts tranSientS, other than
the actual need of care for those
tranSientS.
Part of U. S. Program.
Setting up of the District transient
camp is part of national program
of the relief administration, which
plans between 200 and 300 of these
camps throughout the country. where
| the transients, mostly men caught in
the depression and wandering around
the country searching for work. can
| be concentrated and taken care of by
| the Government.
1t was also disclosed by Mr.. Hopkins
that 20 new case workers have been
| authorized for use by the local relief
| organization, due to the fact that a
recent survey of the District situa-
ton showed that there was deplor-
able lack of case worker service in the
| District set-up. with case workers
handling as many as 200 current cases
apiece.
