D|MNET DOUBTS
NEW WAR

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-Abbe
Ernest Dimnet, cannon Of the
Cambray Cathedral and former
professor Of English at the College
StaniSlas, Paris, said last night
that q European war in the i'm
mediate future is impossible.
This statement came as an ex-
traneous remark during his ad-
dress-on what great pleasure peo-
pie obtain from complete under
standing Of any one thing-before
an audience at Goucher College.
He commended that France has
had more reason and more desire
to make war during the last IS
years that she has today, and in
addition her present government
is so made up Of Socialists and In
ternationalists that war is un-
thinkable.
Germany, he said. has lost all
her friends under Hitler, and will
never go to war with the world
against her.

Although Miss Dewson would
not say definitely what these seS-

stood that she is attempting to
get jobs opened up for deserving
Democrats"
The women Of the party have
been complaining recently that
they have been left in the cold
in the filling Of positions in the
Government. service and have
been calling on Miss Dewson to
aid them.
- Plums Go to Men
It Is understood that these
women, many Of whom have seen
the positions they sought go eli
ther to men or to Republicans,
will bring pressure to bear on
the DEMOCRATIC senators in their
States in an effect to bring to
them what they claim to be their
due. >'.'.
It is also being bruited about
that Secretary Of Labor Frances
Perkins has failed to make any
appointments Of wom-

Annual Halloween Parade Passes in Review
Before "Queen" and NotabIes; Crotesque
Costumes, Bands in March

There was a mysterious killing
in town last night, a mercilesS
killing. Maybe not SO mysterious,
though, at that. -.
Gloom was slain by recovery.
One hundred thousand merry
makers, many dressed as COLLINS
and witches and lnanifesting the
cheer begotten Of abandon, lined
Pennsylvania Avenue to witness
the annual Halloween parade.
Led by a detail Of Metropol-
tan police, under Major Ernest
w. Brown, the parade marched
up Pennsylvania Avenue from
Four-and-a-haf Street to the Ell
lipSe.

The noisy jewellers were re-
viewed on Constitution Avenue
by Senator william H. King,
chairman Of the Senate District
Committee; Commissioner Luther
H. Reichelderfer and the Queen
Of the Pageant, Miss Mary Yates.
When the parade ended band
concerts were held on ConStitu-

minor casualties. Disorders were
few, police said, and the number
Of arrests was not unusual.
SObriety the Rule
At r Street and Pennsylvania

the pleas Of police.

SMALL DEALER
NEEDS RELIEF,
SAYS ENVOY
indianapolis Gas Station Man
Here to Urge Holiday on
Debt Burdens

Demand that Q debt morato-
rum be declared for the small
merchant was voiced today by s.
L. Trotcky, indianapolis gasoline
service station owner who is in
Washington on behalf Of 20 fel.
low business men in an effort to
have what he branded as "un-
fair" practices under the MIRA
code corrected.
Unless President Roosevelt
takes action Immediately to "give
us a chance to i've" Trotcky as
serted, he and many others in
similar circumstances viii be
forced out Of business before the
approaching session Of Congress.
CREDIT Is PROBLEM
The chief difficulty Of mer.
chants in his class, Trotcky
charged, is the refusal Of banks
and mortgage loan companies to
advance credit. Banks insist on
loan guarantees that can be liqui-
dated in so days, while the mort
gage loan company official Is hes
liant to advance credit because he
must guarantee q loan personally
when he applies to the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation,
Trotcky added.
Another factor that Is militat-
ing against the small merchant is
the ban placed by the Govern
ment upon distribution Of premi-
urns, Trotcky said. Before the
NRA went into effect, he gave
away q gallon Of gas for every
five sold, he explained, but now
such trade stimulants are barred
by the code under which he is
operating.
CHARGES DISCRIMINATION
Sellers Of foodStuffs are per-
mitted to distribute premiums, the
complainant asserted in support
Of his charge that the Govern
ment is "straddling'' business
problems.
Reconstruction Finance off.
Gals told Trotcky they would like
to help business men in his pre-
dicament, but are powerless, he
declared, since loans must go
through banks and mortgage loan
companies. The Government has
loaned money to home owners,
farmers and railroads. but, the
merchant asserted. Il can't get q
dime" ,

Foreign Beers
Not So Good
D. S. Decides

Foreign beer? Huh! The

be better, judging from the
American reaction Of late.
The Department Of Com
merce reports today that pur-
chases Of foreign beer in this
country during September were
only 8 per cent Of those re-
corded for May. The figures
show 985,00O gallons for May,
$4,000 for June, 255,000 for
July, $1,000 for August, $1,000
for September.
The chief sources Of the for
eign beer were Canada, United

things, japan. But in Septem-
Der, the Philippines, Mexico
and Germany supplied the i'm
ported product.

Victims Lips TAPPED, Guarded
All Night In 0akdaIe,
Freed at Daylight

a., One Of the boldeSt highway rob-
berries near Washington in recent
years occurred last night on the
outskirts Of Alexandria when four
armed men kidnapped a truck
driver, stole the truck and its
cargo Of cigarettes, totally valued
ct $4,000, and left the driver,
!, bound and his lips tapped, in an
isolated spot Is miles from the
city. .......
No trace of the truck has been
found. Charles P. McMonagle, Of
Baltimore, the driver, was ex-
hausted by his experience and po-
lice had difficulty in questioning
him.
Halted On Road
McMonagle told police he left
Alexandria about $3.50 o'clock last
night and shortly after leaving
!. the city an automobile containing
four men drew alongside the
truck, which was being driven
over United States Route /, the
Washington Richmond Highway.
one Of the men blew a police
whistle and ordered him to the
side Of the road.
Two Of the men. one Of them
more than feet tall and the
ether short and middle aged,
drew pistols and ordered him out
OF the truck. He was put in
their automobile, trussed up and
his lips sealed with adhesive
tape. The automobile followed
the truck.
Held in Oakdale
During the night, McMonagle
told police, he was transported in
four different automobiles. He
was finally taken to Oakdale, on
- back road about II miles from
Silver Spring, and guarded until
daylight, when his hands were
united and he was allowed his
freedom.
= He went to a telephone and
notified Maryland police Of the
robbery. ....
Later, he went to Washington
police headquarters and told his
] story to detectives and police
from Alexandria. The cigarettes
were being taken from a North
Carolina factory to Baltimore.
