 A single strong nation, the president pointed out, may wreck this program, and added signifi- cantyl:

 1T trust that our government will join In the fulflllment of these hopes"
 Today marks the second time within a year that an American president has thrown the weight of tho United States suddenly and dramatically behind an effort to rescue the Tagging disarmament conference.
 Almost exactly a year ago, Presi- dent Hoover, without warning, sent the disarmament conference a pro- posal for the reduction of armies and navies by one-third.
 Italy accepted at once and other powers indicated willingness to study the plan. But 1t perished in the maze of committees and talks at Geneva.
 MT Roosevelt's action In the dsi- armament sphere was, as 1t has been in domestic matters, dramatic and precedent shattering. Instead of making his proposal directly to the disarmament conference, the routine way, he appealed over the heads of the Geneva diplomats di- rectly to the rulers of the world.

 Austria Is Opposed
 Vienna, May 16.-(UP)-A new enemy for Nazi Germany was be- ing formed to-day out of Austria. blood brother of old Germany, as the government prepared to de- port 100 Germans and well authen- ticated reports said officials planed to outlaw the Nazi emblem and force disbandment of Nazi storm troops.
 Chancellor Englebert Dollfuss' government brought the two coun- tries, intensely sympathetic, to the breaking point by ordering Dr Hans Franck, Bavarian minister of jus- tice and personal envoy of Chan cellor Adolf Hitler, to leave Aus- tria. Franck was termed an "un- desirable alien."
 The rapid fading of collaboration intensified the isolated position of Germany completing the ring of suspicious countries that has been Horned around the Reich since Hit Ter ascended to power. Franck was halted on his tour of Austrian Nazi groups at the town of Gnigl where the police told him the government desired his immedi- ate departure. He cancelled his plans and set out for the Bavarian frontier.
 The government was believed to fear a Nazi plot to take over auth ority. Reports in Heimwehr news- papers that the government planned complete suppression of the Nazls found verification in the arrest of 2.334 Nazis throughout Austria in the last two days.

As a first step. President Roose- welt urged the nations to accept the disarmament plan proposed by Primo Minister Ramsay MacDon- ald at the World Disarmament Conference.
 That would reduce offensive weapons and set up system of consultation to bring the powers together when peace is menaced.
 While this is being done. he pro- posed that no country should in- crease its existing armaments.
 Then came his emergency armis- tice proposal in the following words:
 That all the nations of the world should enter into n solemn and definite pact of non-aggres- sion: that they should solemnly reaffirm the obligation they have assumed to limit and reduce their armaments and, provided these ob- ligations are faithfully executed by all signatory powers, individually agree that they will send no armed forces of whatsoever nature across their frontiers.

 It was thought destined to be an historic utterance--notice to the world that the United States has assumed her share of responsible ity in the strife torn family of na- tfons.
 No direct mention of Germany was made. But the utterance was timed on the eve of Chancellor Hit .lerss statement to the reichstag Tomorrow which the world is wait ing with tense apprehension lest 1t reopen the issue which threw the world into the most deadly war of history near twenty years ago.

WYOMING GOING VERY WET FROM

Cheyenne, wyo., May 16--(UP) The wet, victory in Wyoming grew in magnitude today as returns from supposedly dry rural districts came in, and with 25S of the states 667 precincts reported Ss5 repeal delegates had been elected to S6 dry delegates. The precinct dele- gates will meet in county conven- tions May IS, and the county meet ings will choose delegates to a state convention to meet May 25.
 Though wyoming voted for re- peal in referendum last fall, drys after a strong campaign had hoped to make good showing to over- balance their overwhelming de- feats in Wisconsin, Michigan and Rhode Island. Wyoming was the first state to vote on repeal under system providing for delegates from small districts, and as a re- suit the drys had felt they had more chance here than in the previous votes.

such high hopes of recovery hang Ing on the economic conference, MT Roosevelt saw 1t menaced by tho tense feeling between Germany and her old enemies.
 For the first time in history, so far as observers here recalled, the president of the United States di- rectly addressed the rulers of the entire world and pleaded with them for common action to save civilization. MT Roosevelt did so in the profound hope" that they would answer his call. .s.-.9 9~ 't
 The president called attention to the conferences for disarmament and economic restoration, the one now meeting at Geneva, tho other soon to convene at London.
 "The happiness, the prosperity, and the very lives of the men, wo- men and children who inhabit the whole world are bound up in the decisions which they governments will make in the near future" he warned.
 Recalling the failure of the dis armament conference to achieve it itS Q ItioHthB VI plCh- ering. Mir Roosevelt warned:
 "Confused policies still clash dangeroulsy. Our duty lies In the direction of bringing practical results through concerted action based upon the greatest good to the greatest number.
 Before the imperative call of this great duty" he said, petty obstacles must be swept away and petty aims forgotten"
 Nations arm for two reasons, MT Roosevelt said. A few wish to gain tho territories of their neighbors But the great majority arm be. cause they are afraid of Invasion
 There is Justification for this fear" he said. Modern weapons of offense are vastly stronger than modern weapons of defense.
 "If all nations will agree wholly to eliminate from possession and use the weapons which make pos. sible a successful attack, defenses automatically will become impreg. nable and the frontiers and inde. pendence of every nation will be. come secure"
 MT Roosevelt said that the ulti. mate object of the disarmament conference was to eliminate all of. fenslve weapons. But pending that future goal. he proposed the i'm. mediate reduction of some of these weapons and the elimination oi many others"
 The president then outlined this sweeping program:
 1. To take, at once, the first definite step toward this objective as broadly outlined in the MacDon- aid plan.
 ?. To agree upon a time and procedure for taking the following steps:
 3. To agree that while the first and following steps are being taken. no nation shall increase it's existing armament over and above the limitations of treaty obliga- tions.
 But the peace of the world" he added. must be assured during the whole period of disarmament and l. therefore. propose a fourth stpe concurrent with and wholly dependent upon the faithful full fillment of these three proposals and subject to existing treaty rights:

 Renominated at the same time for the board of trustees were Rosemary o. Anderson of New London, Walter Cady of Middle town, E. Hershey Sheath of New Haven. Their appointments are for three year terms. They were re- ferred to the committee on execu- tive nominations by the senate to which body they were sent.
 In the senate to-day Senator Jos- eph A. Hackett of Waterbury the motion that the bill elim- mating the compulsory vacci- nation law be eliminated and 1t was carried 25 to 5. The bill Is thus lost, as 1t was defeated in the house last week. Senator Hackett declared that vaccination and innoculation during the World War served to prevent the spread of disease. He said the Spanish War was an example of how dis ease can ravage an army. He de- |.
 The bill was received from com mittee on an unfavorable report and the senate followed the action of the house which last week ac. cepted an unfavorable report by a margin of six votes.
 Similar measures have cropped up at legislature sessions during the past six years, with the same result.
 In the Senate to-day Senators Joseph A. Hackett and Joseph H.

 The house took A.. the problem of child welfare, with debate on bill substituted for a senate meas ure which already has passed in the upper house.
 The bill, which consolidates and simplifies the procedure in the care for homeless and neglected children under the age of six, came in on favorable report, which Majority Leader Raymond E. Bald- win recommended be accepted.
 The town selectmen. under the bill, could request the courts to send such children to the state board of child welfare for care. Under the present law the respon- sibility is divided between the se- lectmen and county commissioners.
 The state would bear seven-tAnths of the cost of housing such chil- dren, who would be placed in pri- vate homes or county homes.
 Three women members of the house, Mrs Herbert Knox Smith of Farmington; Mrs Sara B. Craw- ford, Fairfield, and Mrs Josepha Whitney, New Haven. all spoke for the bill, but Rep. John Thornbill of Brookfield, opposed.
 Thornbill said that in Fairfield county the cost for caring for homeless children never exceeded $60,620 year until the advent of the state bureau of child welfare. Then, he said, costs began to mount, and last year the cost was S111,692 in Fairfield county.
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 16-(UP) Proposals to restrict the issuance of beer permits to chain stores were to be heard at a legislature judiciary committee hearing today.
 The proposals, submitted in the form of amendments to the state liquor control act, would, in one case, prohibit issuance of more than two permits to any one concern operating in the state. Another measure would restrict the number of permits to one store in each community.
