 had none of the finished erispncss of Miss Rosa.
 After Mrs Lowe had drifted out there was tho music.

IN DEATH Of
STAV|SKY
Paris Press Cries "DoWn With
Assassins," Urging Demon
tration to Deputies

PARIS, Jan. 9 G.N.SO.-The
insinuated cry of murder" rang
through Paris today soon after
the death of Alexandra Sacha
Stavisky, central figure in the
great Bayonne pawnshop swindle,
who succumbed to a bullet wound
in the head inflicted as the
French secret police caught up
with him in his flight.
The Surete Generates asser.
ton that Staviskv committed
suicide was openly flouted in
many Paris newspapers. who
made as much political capital
of the event as possible.
Down With Assasslpse
Apparently With no evidet VI
offer, this section OF the press ex
pressed bold doubt of the suicide
version in black headlines.
The police, the government and
many politicians bore the brunt of
the attack. Premier Camille Chau-
temps and the Surete Generate
ignored the implied accusations.
L'Action Franchise, organ of
the Royalist Party, summoned
the French public to a gigantic
demonstration before the Chamber
of Deputies this afternoon and
carried the following headlines,
which it said should be shouted
at the deputies convened:
Down with the thieves!
Down with the assassinS!"
These attacks again put the
Chautemps government in a pre-
carious position, and it's downfall
today was not impossible.
May Hasten Fall
Observers expected the govern
ment would fall if sufficient num-
ber of deputies should insist upon
debating the Stavisky affair today
instead of waiting until Thursday,
the day previously set.
The Government attempted to
itself as the ministerial
council met hurriedly to req .ce
Minister of Colonies Delamier,
who resigned last night after be-
ing widely attacked as the prin-
cipal government official in
volved in the huge swindle, which
has cost investors from twenty
five to sixty million dollars.

Immediate approval of the
nominations of Walter M. w.
Splawn, of Texas, as Interstate
Commerce Com missioner, and
George c. Mathews, of Wisconsin,
as Federal Trade Commissioner,
was blocked today by the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee.
The committee decided to inves-
tigate the qualifications of both
appointees. Public hearings were
ordered.
Mathews was named to the va
cancy created by President RooSe-
velt through the ousting of VIII
liam E. Humphrey, a Republican.
Humphrey has carried his fight to
retain the post to the Committee
of Claims, charging the President
removed him without cause.
Senator Dill CD of Washing
ton, chairman, announced Hum
phrey would be given a hearing
before the committee. He said:
Humphrey asked to be heard.
The committee is not inclined to
refuse anyone q hearing. He
complains that the President
would not give him a hearing.
He has that claim in his suit. He
has no attack against Mathews
personally or on his physical
qualifications, but says he does
not want the Senate to confirm
Mathews, as it might prejudice
his rights in court"

DIR. WYNEKOOP IN INFIRMARY
BILLION ASKED
FOR R.F.C c.
By International News service

BY international News Service
The Administration today called
upon Congress to extend the life
of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation for three years and
authorize an additional one bill
lion dollars in debentures.
Representatives Byrnes, Demo
cratic House leader, announced
that the House may pass the bill
tomorrow.
Speed in enactment of the legis-
lation is important because the
loaning authority of the Recon
strWction Corportion expires on
January %. Byrnes expressed the
hope that the banking committee
would report the bill late today.
While the R.F.C. proposed a
three-year extension of its loan
ing authority the President would
be given the power to stop lending
before that period.
ByrnS said there was some SEN
timent in the House Banking
Committee to restrict the new de-
benture authority to 500 million
dollars and require the R.FC. to
come back to Congress if addi-
tional funds are desired.
It is expected that the one bill
lions dollars would be used in con-
tinuing the present policies of aid
ing banks, railroads and other
similar institutions.

with Soviet Russia persisted in
usually well-informed circles to,
day.
Some versions of the report
hinted the pacts already had been
carefully studied and initiated, but
these could not be confirmed.
The story was circulated in
Paris month ago, but was dis
counted at the time as a japanese
"feeler."
According to both the earlier
and present report. the United
States has made with the Soviets
an agreement for mutual defense
in the Pacific, both parties rese1v-
ing the right to decide in the event
of war whether the other has
really been attacked or is the ag-
gressor herself.
1t was reported here that France
is ready to tie up closer with the
Soviets. the present government
hesitating because of the personal
opposition of Edouard Daladier,
minister of war and former pre-

Edouard Herriot favors such an
alliance, however, and if he should
become premier again, it is ex-
pected the pact would soon be
signed.

Senator Harrison Sees
Delay for Liquor Bill

Delay in passage of the Dis
trict liquor bill by the Senate was
intimated today by Senator Pat
Harrison CD of Mississippi as
he emerged from the White House.
The Senator declared he thought
1t unlikely" that the Senate will
pass the bill this week as has been
previously indicated.
Although Senator Harrison did
not declare his reasons for the
delay, it is understood he had
reference to the sentiment in the
Senate for a liquor dispensary as
opposed to the House bill. which
provides for the license system.
Harrison did not confer with
the President during his visit
to the White House.

LONDON, Jan. 9 GN.s).
Japan will be the only power to
build up to full treaty strength

here today.
England, it is pointed out, will
have full strength in tonnage
but with numerous old ships,

Hector C. Bywater, naval cor
respondent of the Daily Tele-

the cost will be spread over three
or four years.
He predicts the 1884 program
will provide for the construction
of two cruisers of 5000 tons. two
cruisers of 1000 or $500 tons. an
aircraft carrier over 10000 tons,
two flotilla leaders. 16 deStroyers.

Tibet Oracles
Name Infant
Dalai Lama

PEIPING, Jan. 9 Q.N.SO.-
Reincarnation of the Giving
Buddha," the Dalai Lama Of
Tibet, was celebrated in Tibetan
circles here today.
Tibetan religious leaders were
advised that the mantle of tenn
poral and spiritual sovereignty
of the Dalai Lama. who recently
died, had been transferred to
the shoulders of a baby born
in a suburb of LhaSa, the cap
ital of Tibet, at the approx
mate time of the rulers death.
While the child was not iden-
titled in the reports, he will be
venerated as the fourteenth Of
the Giving Buddhas."
A strange and ancient ritual
is used to decide upon the sue
cesSor to a Dalai Lama. The
names of all Tibetan babies born
at the time of the rulers death
are collected and inscribed upon
iron rods, which are thrown into
a sacred pool and then re-
gathered.
The oracles at the various
Shrines of Tibet are then con-
suited by the high priests, and
as a result of their delibera-
tions, one infant is chosen as
the spiritual successor.
Tibetan religion dictates that
the soul of the departed Dalai
Lama is automatically trans
ferred to the infant chosen, who
may be of high or low birth.
