By MARY KNIGHT

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris-(UP)- All the dress makers are concentrating on beach outfits and ski ensembles. They have done about all they can in the regular town and country ensembles for morning, afternoon and evening. The smart set, incidentally, either is frolicking in the snow, or splash ing in the Mediterranean, or getting ready to do so immedi- ately after Christmas.
 Madame Georgette Renal has made a papular beach ensemble of white linen. printed all over with sailor caps in blue and red. The red caps have blue pom poms and the blue ones red ones. The blouse buttons in front in the form of wide panel with two large pearl buttons on each side. The shorts are plain white linen and there is a jaunty looking jacket to keep the sun burn off the back and arms. Bright red wooden sandals with wide bands of blue canvass com plete the outfit.
 lin ski things the preference now is toward dark backgrounds with brilliant scarfs, caps, socks and bloves. Olive green with burnt orange; navy blue with emerald green. and Burgundy red with canary yellow, are few of the best combinations. If plaids are used, the accessories must be a solid color found in the plaid.

Even the bidding is odd. West can't overcall the bid of one heart with two diamonds, because he is vulnerable. He might be mur- dered.
 North prefers to make a con structive bid rather than support the hearts; that's why he bids two diamonds. Of course; South's bid of two no trump is practically forcing, as no one wants to play a hand at two no trump. North's jump at four hearts might be termed little optimistic.

TOKYO, Nov. ga Foreign Of
flee statement that if japanese i'm
perialists were accorded parity of
naval construction with the United
States, Japan would refrain from
building to the maximum limit
granted her" brought relayed re-
port from Washington that Ameri-
can industrialists had not only
jeered at the statement but had
openly publicized their determine
ton to extend military Notifications
throughout the Pacific wherever
possible.
1t is ever becoming more clear
that with the United States govern
ment pushing naval construction
and war ornaments generally and
speeding up war preparations more
swiftly and bellicosely than any
other imperialist power, not the
least possibility exists of either the
London Naval Conference Or the
Geneva Arms Conference restrain
ing the increased universal manu-
facture of arms, ships and NUM-
tions.
A revealing sidelight Of Great
Britain's tactics in holding Jap
anese militarism as an ally has now
been made clear by an official COM
munique here, which suggests that
the English delegates in London
had themselves taken the first step
in proposing Japanese naval equal
ity with the United States.

RED
ARMY GAINS
AT 5 POINTS

HONGKONG, Nov. 22.-Exposing
the recent lying official release
that the Red Army, on its way from
Kiangsi to Szechuan Province, has
suffered great losses, is the latest
report here today showing the VIC
torious advance of the Red Army
at three places.
Marching in two columns toward
Szechuan Province the Red Army
in Human Province was reported at
Hungming in its westward march,
while the second column reached
Chuanchow, in Kwangsi Province.
In a little more than a week, the
Red Armies have covered over one
third of the distance to their des-
tination.
1t was also reported here that
the Soviets in Fukien Province re-
tain the stronghold at Hweichang
creating greater difficulties for the
Chang Kai Shek army.
So great has become the menace
of the Red Army against the Can
tonese forces, that General Chen
Chi Tang announced today efforts
were being made to get a loan of
S10,000,000 from the British Dutch
Shell Oil Co. or the Standard Oil
Co., in order to carry on the war
against the Red Armies. The Can
tonese militarists are ready to give
the foreign imperialists the Canton
electric plant as security for the
badly needed loan.

NEW YORK.-Responding to a
call issued by the Unemployment
Councils here, workers in all parts
of the city are modifying for par
ticipation in the demonstration at
Union Square tomorrow demanding
increased cash relief, jobs at union
wages and enactment of the Work
ers' Unemployment Insurance Bill.
Although all attempts made by
the Council to establish a united
front for the demonstration have
been met with refusals from the
committee which is sponsoring the
demonstration, the Councils called
upon their membership and all
workers to join in the meeting and
march and to fraternize with the
members Of the Workers Unem-
ployed Union. The keynote of the
Council call has been to let moth
ing disrupt the meeting, and for all
to maintain rigid discipline.
In Brownsville, one working class
section, a united front has been
formed between the Councils and
the Socialist led Unemployed Union.
They have arranged to meet jointly,
issue joint leaflets and participate

ton. the Communist Party Dis

KNEW BUTLER PLOT
New Evidence Mounts
Proving Wall Street
Fascist Plot

MINOT, N. D., Nov. 22.-The grim
actually of secret fascist organiza-
ton financed by Wall Street banks
again broke through all denials to-
day with the revelation by James
E. Van Zandt, national commander
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
that he too had been approached by
Wall Street to be the iron man
to lead fascist army in this coun-
try.
None of the leaders Of the VF.W
had any doubts, Van Zandt de-
clared, as to the actuality of all OF
General Smedley Buffers charges
concerning the financing of a fas-
cist army of 100000 by financial
cliques headed by j. P. Morgan.
Van zandt revealed that Gerald
G. MacGuire, the Wall Street broker
who acted as the go-between for
the banks and the military cliques
had approached him with the prop
osition after a four months toul
of Fascist Germany and study Of
the organization Of the Nazis ir
Germany.
HE recommends the formation Of
similar organization in the United
States with the eventual aim of es-
tablishing a Fascist regime here
Zandt declared yesterday. 1--WE
know that General Butler was ap-
preached to head the organization.
Meanwhile the amount of evidence
Of the Fascist plot continues to grow
as the Congressional Committee is
taking testimony.
