GREAT BRITAIN
 IS LOOKING FOR
 GOOD OF HERSELF
Sir John Simon ExpOunds British Foreign Policies
 to House of Commons
By FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff CorresDOndent)

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 London, July 13-(UP)-A firm declaration by Sir John Simon, foreign minister, that Great Bri- tain's foreign policy was for the good of the British, not of Europe, marked today a house of commons debate on foreign affairs that seemed to indicate a cabinet split on rearmament.
 "We are not going to undertake any new obligations in Europe at all," Simon said.
 "Nor will we lend ourselves to support any arrangement among European states under which one group builds up combination against another. That was made quite clear to M. Barthou (Louis Barthou, French foreign minister) on his visit here this week. He ac- cepted that"
 Simon's speech came soon after the disclosure that Britain had urged in Berlin, Warsaw and Rome the advisa bility of an eastern Eur opean security treaty. In an ap- parent effort to forestall a speech by Chancellor Adolf Hitler in the reichstag tonight. Hitler was ex- pected to oppose the treaty as aimed against Germany.
 In discussing this treaty today Simon for the first time announced that Britain, like other nations would welcome Russia into the League of Nations. Russia would be warmly welcomed, Simon said.
 Russia's membership was essen tial, he said, if the eastern Euro pean treaty, to which she would be a signatory, were concluded.
 He continued to invite Germany into the combination.
 "If the new treaty is concluded" he said, Germany must be a mem- Der of the combination. Germany would receive a most valuable ad- dition to her security. It appears to the British government that Ger many ought to take advantage of the occasion to promote the objects of the disarmament conference"
 Stubby, mongol like Ivan Maiski, Russian ambassador, and the ele- gant Prince Otto Won Bismarck, counsellor of the German embassy. pereed fro mthe diplomatic gallery as Simon spoke.
 Sir Herbert Samuel, a liberal leader, in opening the debate hint ed there was a cabinet split, long rumored, regarding re-armament. The situation seemed to be that Simon and Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald, a war time Pacifist, wanted to revive the disarmament conference but that military chiefs and some other cabinet ministers wanted to re-arm, believing the conference dead.
 Samuel attacked re-armament, and opposing the demand of Wins ton Churchill for doubling and then re-doubling the air force, branded him as Malay running amok."
 Of France, he said her spirit of militarism was dead, and that France was bulwark of peace and liberty.

 All night he had hunted through the woods and the rich estates sur rounding the district, calling the boys name.
 Connor said he was certain that Robert, a normal. blond child but not very robust, could not have wandered far from the home. which Is surrounded by the ram bling, wooded homes of prominent persons, including Felix Warburgh, Adolph Lewishon, Charles Stone- ham and Dudley Field Malone. The metropolist and Elmsford coun- try clubs are nearby.
 ! Robert weighs 22 pounds and has a small scar on the tip of his nose. He wore pink rompers, high white shoes and white socks.
 The Connor family is in conn., fortable circumstances, it was un- derstood, but could not meet heavy ransom demands. The home is of seven rooms, modest, not of type to indicate wealth. It was pointed out, however, that the large estates nearby might lead a kidnaper to believe that the child belonged to a wealthy family.
 The search for the peddlar was spurred when police learned that he had been talking wildly in the vicinity yesterday, referring to him. self as foreign nobleman who was deprived of estate abroad.
 The use of German shepherd dog trained for police work and a dog, which was described as part bloodhound led on an apparently warm trail from the house to the Emerson road, not far away. There the dog circled and leaped into Connor' automobile, where they seized a sheet from Roberts bed.
 Arlington, Mass, July 13.-(UP) Charles P. Connor, paternal grandfather of little Bobby Connor, believed kidnapped near the Harts- dale, N. Y., home of his parents, said today he would be unable to furnish ransom if approached by the kidnapers.
 Connor, an elderly retired cloth fer, was shocked to learn of his grandson's disappearance. He has had no word regarding the possible Kidnapping and said he would notify authorities immediately if a ran- some demand were made.

 Just Another Day

themselves undergoing real jinx every time they took a step. A maze of ladders and scaffoldings there for repair work made it inn possible to climb the stairs. with out walking under at least two or three ladders. The bravest just closed their eyes and plunged ahead.
 It was the second Friday the 18th of the present year. Only three months ago, in April, Waterbury underwent the same experience. As far as could be ascertained today there was no unusual number o1 black cats about, but the ones that were in sight were very definitely shied away from even by the least superstitious.
 No untoward occurrences, up to early this afternoon, had marred the day. There were the usual Fri day the 18th" jokes, both verbal and practical but no serious harm was done in any of these. Res taurants reported loss of consider able salt, occasioned by the old practice of throwing some of the seasoning over ones left shoulder to ward off bad luck.

different police methods. There is no third degree in England and a policeman is jnstilled with the idea that he is public servant, not a judge, a jury or an executioner. In many others ways it was a British strike. mot necessarily like one in any other country. In the end the big fact seemed to be, however, that while labor and capital got in the headlines the public did the work.
 The strike started technically in sympathy with strike or coal miners complicated by a lock out of mine employers. Actually it started, after manoeuvering for tactical advantage by the govern ment and the high labor leaders, as a test of labor's power, of the theory that the producer" was the real power. It left unions impover- ished. They have not yet regained their strength.

P ainful Piles
Go Quick-No Cutting-No Salves

Go Quick-NO Cutting-No SaIves
 If you think an operation is al- ways the only way to escape the misery of torturing Piles, it's be- cause you haven't heard of Hem Roid the harmless internal medi- cine discovered by & western phy- sician.
 After years of study Dr J. S. Leonhardt was convinced that the cause of Piles was internal--bad Ejaculation of blood in the lower bowel-the hemorrhoidal veins fil1ed with stagnant blood--and that the right and safe way to get freedom from Pile agony was 10 remove the cause with an internal medicine. Immediately the doctor set to work to find the remedy. He succeeded and called his prescrip. ton HEM -ROID.
 Pile sufferers everywhere are benefiting by Dr Leonhardt's dis coyery, so why doubt or delay longer when Apothecaries Hall Co and all druggists say, "No matter what kind of Piles you have, one bottle of HEM -ROTD tablets must show you the safe clean way to get rid of your pile misery or money back"

HUNGER STRIKE
At JAIL FELLS
CELL MATE
FoodIess Ia Days, Suspect
In Staying Hits Fellow
Prisoner With Stool

Still refusing to eat, Harrison
M. Kaiser, 39-year-old prisoner at
the District Jail, wrote another
chapter in his hunger strike early
today by knocking his cell mate
unconscious with stool.
Kaiser, who is awaiting trial for
the Staying of James P. Morgan,
a Navy Yard worker, in 1882, has
not taken food for IA days.
Weakened by his long abstin.
ence, he lies in his bunk all day,
refusing to talk with anyone, even
Jail officials or newspapermen.
The attack on his cell mate was
made early today, apparently
without cause, while his fellow
prisoner was asleep. The injured
man required medical aid for a
deep cash over one eye.
Kaiser was transferred immedi-
ately to a single cell, but will not
be punished pending a mental ex-
animation, already asked by
Superintendent T. M. Rives.
The prisoner began his hunger
strike as a protest against the con-
dition of prison food. Since his
first explanation he has declined
to answer any questions except by
a negative shake of the head.

AAA To CONFER
ON MILK AUDIT

Further consideration of the
proposal to have Federal auditors
go into the books of the local milk
distributors is expected to be
given today at meeting of AAA
officials.
DR.. Frederic c. Howe, con-
sumers' counsel for the AAA, said
the meeting had been called ap-
parently for that purpose, al
though other questions relating
to the local milk market may be
taken up.
The suggestion that the AAA
and Federal Trade Commission
join in an inspection of the dis
tributors' books was made last
week, and the distributors have
given their approval.
It is believed that if the Sug-
geStion is put in effect the re-
suits will give information which
will break the unsettled condi-
ton of this market, since it has
been claimed that it has been
difficult to determine what pro-
fits the distributors make from
the sale of products made from
the surplus milk, which they buy
from the farmers at a consider
ably lower rate than milk used
for bOttling,

trict's sewage disposal plant project
and it's completion by July l, 1885

Secretary Harold L. 1ckeS, the
PWA administrator, formally
signed the loan contract for the
project, forwarding it at once to
the District Commissioners.
In signing the contract before
it went to the District Building,
Secretary Ickes set precedent
in that all PWA contracts have
normally been signed by the Dor
rover before being approved by
Mr.. IckeS.
Threatened Withdrawal
The contract was drawn by the
administrator after receipt last
week of a letter from the Com
missioners assuring him that they
would rush the project so that
it might be completed in 1886.
Previously he had threatened to
withdraw the 100000 allotment
when the Commissioners con-
tended the project would require
four years.
Under terms of the contract
first drawings for the project must
be ready by December l and
actual construction under way by
next october !. An immediate ap-
proval of the contract is expected
at the District Building.
Funds will Be Ready
Accompanying the contract to-
day was a letter to the Commits
sioners stating that the necessary
funds would be forthcoming i'm
mediately if the Commissioners
signed the contract. The Secre-
tary added he would reserve the
right to advance the money in all
or part, but would see there was
ample funds available at all
times"
It is expected the money will be
placed to the credit of the District
in a lump sum. however, in view
of the ruling Saturday by Comp
troller General McCarl that this
must be the procedure.

have been brazenly stealing the

world series, it looks like the
Dean boys will cause more talk
in Missouri than the James
boys ever did.
OF course, baseball Is . lot
different from banditry. The
only thing brutal about the
world series is the price Of the
tickets.
Judging from that swell game
that Paul Dean pitched, the
younger member Of the family

Now that the world series is
