Meanwhile German official cir
cles regarded Hitler's two-hour
speech to the Reichstag yesterday
not as a mere outline of what
Germany will and will not do, but
as a comprehensive and detailed
peace offer that now places the
onus for its failure upon the other
European powers.
Hitler's 13 points blamed the
war victors for first one-sidedly
breaking the Versailles Treaty, but
promised that Germany would
abide by the treaty's other terms,
including the demilitarized Rhine
land.
Germany, he said. would con-
clude no pacts involving military
assistance, but was open for
treaties Of non-aggression.
The Reich adheres to the 10
carno pact, which binds her to
military aid against a West Eu.

to extend that to involve aerial
aggression.
Demands Equality

Mrs. Roosevelt Shy
Of Mine Phone

BELLAIRE, Ohio, May %.
The jokesmith of a popular
weekly who had one miner say
to another in the depths of
mine, there comes Mrs. Roose-

him yesterday when the First
Lady went down in the Willow
Grove mine, one of the six Hanna

Bellaire, Shadyside and Neff
turned out, men, women and chill
dren, to greet Mrs. Roosevelt.
The afternoon session of school
was delayed because the teacher
was in the crowd waiting outside
of Stanley Hamilton's house
where Mrs. Roosevelt was enter
tanned at luncheon. Mr.. Hamil-
ton is director of the Peoples
University, which affords adult
education for mine workers.
The word that Mrs. Roosevelt
would don overallS to 60 into the
mine drew a battalion of photog-
raphers, but the rumor was
erroneous. She turned in the pale
blue collar and cuffs of her one
piece black wooden dress, put on
a miners safety helmet and was
ready-after she had shaken
hands with the multitude waiting
to see her.

Willow Grove mine welcomed her

When Mrs. Rooseyelt's party

made public. 1t follows:
The grand jury hears only
one side Of. the story. There
is a good deal of evidence pre-
scented to a grand jury which
would not be admissible in a
court trial. 1t seems peculiar
that the grand jury would
single out this woman to give
the result of its findings be-
fore all cases now being con-
Sidered were completed"
BACK IN ROCKVILLE
Mrs. Lyddane is at her fathers
residence in Rockville. She had
been living temporarily with her
sister and brother-in-law in Wash
ington, but returned to Rock
vile several days ago. Those
close to her reported that the
result of the grand jury's find
ings failed to perturb the former
bank employee.
Mrs. Lyddane, according to
those who know her, had antici-
pated indictment. She will
charge at the trial that she was
the victim of a blackmail group.
She admits paying 5000 to a
man she says she thinks is Bo-
land. The State charges this
sum was the down payment on
a larger sum given for the ex-
pressed intention of having her
husband and Mrs. Beall muir"

Mrs. Lyddane, on the other
hand, claims she paid the money
because a group unknown to her
had threatened to publicize her
love affair with Mr.. Beall.
Mrs. Lyddane last year had
been named correspondent in di-
vorce proceedings brought by Mrs.
BealI against her husband. The
divorce suit was dropped after a
property settlement said to in
volve $4,000.
Four Men Testify
CARMEL, Davis, Thomas and b.
land all testified during the pre-
liminary hearing of Mrs. Lyddane.
Each of the men denied harbor-
ing an intention to go through
with the plot. It is on the teSti-
mony of these men the defense
pins it's hopes for an acquittal.
Boland, a Washington police
character, testified he had been
approached with an offer to act
as contact man" in engineering
the plots.
Davis swore under oath Mrs.
Lyddane took him out to barnes
town in her automobile and
pointed out the house of Mrs.
Beall.
Under croSs-examination, how
ever, Davis admitted his picture
of Mrs. Lyddane was rather haZy,
and that therefore he could not be
certain she was the woman who
accompanied him on that trip.

SENATE GROUP
WILL ACT SOON
On ARMS BAN
Plan Would Prohibit Shipment
Of Munitions and Deny Credit
To BeIIigerent Nations
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

With all the world an armed
camp, the Senate Foreign Rela-
tionS Committee today promised
early action on proposals to pro-
hibit shipment of arms or extern
sion Of credit to belligerent ma
tons.
These bans were proposed by
Senators Nye (R) of North Da-
kota and Clark CD of Missouri
after their special committee con-
Quoted a long inquiry into the his
tory of the munitions industry.
They proposed one joint resolu-
ton, which would give the Presi.
dent power to proclaim an en-
barge on the export of arms, am
munition or other weapons of war.
fare to any nations engaged in
war or threatening to go to war.
In a second resolution, the two
Senators would prohibit financial
loans or credit to any foreign
government or agency for the pur.
chase of war materials in time of
war. It further would give the
President power to proclaim an
embargo on such loans to any
nation about to go to war.
Third Resolution
A third resolution would give
the President power to withhold
passports from American citizens
who wished to travel in war zones
or on the vessels of warning
powers. Such law in 1916 would
have prevented the loss of Ameri-
can life in the sinking of the
Lusitania by German submarine.
The proposed ban on shipment
of war munitions to belligerent
nations was considered the most
important of the three resolutions.
It was felt there would be few
foreign loans by Americans to
warning governments for the pur-
chase of munitions, if the war
materials were to be bought in
some other country. The history
of governmental loans, on which
Americas World War allies de-
fauted would deter American
bankers from making such loans.
Penalty Provided
The resolution, affecting war
munitions, would make it unlaw-
full, at the outbreak of war be-
tween two or more governments,
for any person or corporation to
ship war materials TO any of the
belligerent nations.
The resolution listed rifles, ma
chine guns, cannon, ammunition,
grenades, bombs, tanks, aircraft
carriers, submarines, aircraft,
aerial equipment, poisonous gases,
acids and their parts as being
included in the phrase "muni-
lions of war" 1t further would
provide a penalty of 100000 fine
or ten years imprisonment for
violations.
A special section would give
the President power to invoke the
export. ban in event existing con-
ditionS indicated two or more
governments were about to go to
war. This ban would be invoked
in an effort to prevent war.

PATMAN BONUS
BILL DEFENDED

Radio Priest Talks. Tonight
In New York on Wages,

NEW YORK, May % G.N.S).
Endorsement of the Patman bonus
bill, an attack on the work-relief
wage scale of SIG to $94 a month
set by President Roosevelt, and
a discussion of money" will be
the three principal subjects Of
the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin's
address at Madison Square Gar
den tonight.
The famed Detroit radio priest
announced this today as he Ia
bored at the writing Of the ad-
dress-a task he as" usual post.
poned until the last minute.
Meanwhile 1900 policemen were
assigned to the Garden tonight
to prevent any possible disorder.
Bonus Favored
In an interview with about so
reporters, Coughlin said he re-
garded the bonus issue as one Of
the most important before Con-
gress. He laughed at the sugges-
ton of dangerous initiation. He
bitterly criticized the work-relief
pay scale set by the President.
He said he hoped" he could
support President Roosevelt. whom
he termed the strongest man in
the country. in the 1895 campaign
and forecast his reelection if he
"pursueS his policies on social
justice" However, he added, he
supports principles and not men.
Asked if he would seek office,
he emphatically replied:
'There is no office in this or
any other country could be
persuaded to accept. l am q
citizen, it is true, and ] am ap-
pearing here in the capacity of
q citizen. But am a priest. /
hope to die a priest"
LONGS PRINCIPLES
Would he discuss Huey Long?
No, Long is not directly interested
in the National Union. Does he
believe in any Of Longs prime
ipleS?
"Well, Long says he favors
redistribution of wealth. Re
distribution is a broad express
sion. If he means rediStribu-
ton as the Communists do, no.
If he means redistribution
under American principles, yes.
Equal distribution of wealth.
as many people understand it,
is Just plain nonsense"
A representative of a foreign
news agency stepped forward and
said:
II am speaking for the
foreign correspondents here.
What do you think of American
recognition of RuSsia?"
II think it is the most foolish
thing done by the Administra-
ton. Russia hates us"
The foreign correspondents
looked startled. The spokesman
protested:
I'm not so sure Of that"
II am. Russia would take us
in moment if she thought she
could. They hate us and every
capitaIistic country. They hate
every country where you see
the cross"
"But you see the cross in
Russia"
yes, but the crosses there
are on the shoulders of the poor
devils carrying them"
The priest then amended his
opinion of the most foolish thing
done by the Administration" Re-
ferring to the expected Presi.
Dental veto of the bonus bill, he
said 1.-THE most foolish move of
the Administration probably will
be made today"
