SPEAKER BYRNS TALKS ON BONUS May Be Disposed of By February l-SOme Bill
 Will Be Passed

Washington, December 19 = (UP) Speaker Joseph w. Byrns today said administration leaders would try to dispose of the bonus issue by February 1. He said he believed an anti-inflation bonus bill would stand the best chance of passing congress over a presidential veto. At the same time Byrns in his first press conference since his trip to the Philippines said he did not believe unless the minds of members have changed since last session" that the Townsend old age pension bill would pass the house next session. Such legislation must originate in the house due to its revenue character. Byrns said he would have no ob- jection to the Townsend bill coming up for vote.
 Vinson Over Patman
 He indicated belief that the Vim son Legion Bonus bill would pass the house rather than the Patman $2,O00, ,OO0, 900 imitation measure. He said his belief was based on the stand of the American Legion against the Patman bill. Byrns said he personally hoped the senate would act first on the bonus issue 'as that is where the main differences have arisen" Last session the house overrode the President on the bonus issue but the senate sustained his veto.
 The Byrnes-Steiwer bonus bill brought forward in the senate last session as a possible administration compromise and providing payment of the adjusted service certificates in bonds maturing in 1888 may be brought to a vote in the senate within 10 days after 1888 may be brought to a vote in the senate with in 10 days after congress convenes. ByrnS said.

Continued from Page 1.) blow at league principles which would utterly destroy the useful ness of the international organiza- ton.
 After the airing of views in the British House of Commons today and in the French chamber of dep- utses a week from tomorrow, the scene will shift entirely to Geneva, and it would not be surprising if the oil embargo, which MusSolini has said repeatedly will be consid- cred by Italy a hostile act, were voted.
 Thus a respite of about ten days is likely before grave steps are taken. It is probable that British and French neogtiators will make every possible effort meanwhile to find some other solution. If they fall, the prospect of war with Italy again will become acute.
 Behind all the maneuvering is the full realization by Britain and France that they may have to fight Italy If they try to stop the war by forceful action. France has com- mitted herself to throw the strength of her fleet in with Britain if war comes in the Mediterranean, a fact which the British prime minister painstakingly made clear to the House of Commons.
 Geneva, Dec. 19.- (UP) The League general staff committee of 18 today indefinitely postponed ac- ton on the threatened oil embargo against Italy. The committee agreed that the League should continue to ensure the application of the finan- cial and economic sanctions which already have been voted. It was be- lieved the oil embargo question would not arise again until at least after the debate on foreign policy in the French chamber of deputies on Dec. 27. The council, formally voting down the abortive Franco British peace plan without debate, sought to delay further sanctions until the new year. In public session it was decided to play for time to enable the league to recover the public confidence which the peace plan shattered.
 Five Minute Session
 The committee of IS held five minute session late in the day and adjourned without even mentioning oil. Augusta De Vasconcellos of Por- tugal, chairman, merely proposed that the committee of experts on application of sanctions should con- tinue it's work.
 Many delegates considered the oil embargo probably dead. remarking that only its. application by the United States would induce the league to apply it.

 Impatient at Answers
 At times indicating impatience with answers which attorney For ney Johnston gave to their ques- tions, several justices led by the iilitant liberal" Louis D. Bran eis, repeatedly asked him how his clients, preferred shareholders in the Alabama Power Co.,, had been injured.
 Brandeis demanded that Johns- ton show him where in the bill of the complaint, filed by George Ash wander and other shareholders, it was charged that they would be in- jured specifically by performance of the contract in which the Alabama company agreed to sell its trans- mission lines to IVA.
 Johnston sought for some time to find specific paragraphs in his records of the case but finally said that he would make the informa- tion available to the court later.
 BrandeiS noted that preferred shareholders were in a different position from common stockholders, who have a possibility of sharing in increased earnings of their com- pany. The preferred clients, the jurist noted, have a limited" inter- est similar to that of bondholders.

In a temperature of sixty degrees below zero, Pilot John Lynn of the Northern Air Transport, landed and took off at Old Crow, Can- ada, recently, says a recent issue of the Fairbanks News Miner. Torches beneath a hood covering the engine of the airplane were neces- sary to keep the motor warm while the plane was on the ground. It was 45 below when he took off at Fort Yukon on the way back. Although Fort Yu- kon and Old Crow are with in the Arctic Circle, and well to the North, the tenn peratures there are extre- mely low for this time of the year, the middle of Mo- Vember.
 Sgt. E.A.Kirk of the Roy al Canadian Mounted Pol ice and Mrs. Kirk were pas sengers to Old Crow with Pilot Lynn from Fort Yu- kon. Canadian mail was taken from Fort Yukon to Old Crow by Lynn.
 Trapping Opens

Kings by the way, are not the only ones who can stage a comeback. A while ago, pigs were in such bad repute that the farmers were paid for putting them out of a society in which they were not wanted. New occasions make new duties, and now the Department of Agriculture is contem- plating offering a bounty to hog-raisers. This is a good world after all, where in even a pig has a chance.

U. s. Doctor In Ethiopia Leads
 Medical Corps
(By The Associated Press)

Addis Ababa, Nov. 30, - Dr. Robert Hockman of Wheaton, Illinois, will leave this capital in a few days with the first foreign medi- cal unit for the northern military front.
 The 32-year-old medical missionary is regarded by Ethiopian officials as their youngest but most brilliant physician. He is a member of the United Presbyterian mission here.
 The young missionary plans to to leave with 500 native burden-bearers and 400 mules carrying 50 na- tive assistants and five of the white missionary vol unteers. The caravan will carry several tons of medi- cine, Stretchers and surgi- cal provisions.
 Dr. Hockman said he would take no soldiers nor arms for protection en- route. Born in Szechuan province, China, he said he was already familiar with bandit raids and was will ing to face the risks of trav el in the interior of Ethio- pia.
 He turned from the vacc- ination of 5000 of Emperor Halle Selassie's warriors to say:
 We need no protection beyond the mercy of God, whom we serve.
 Among the grim war riors of Ethiopia such a thing as surgical or medi- cal aid is unknown. These tribesmen bear silently the most terrible wounds which would kill other men in- stantly. They are left to die or be eaten by wild beasts where they fall.
 Ours is the first military medical unit in Ethiopia's history. We are proud that it is American"
 Dr. Hockman invited Captain Ceilings of Jersey City, former marine aviat- or, to accompany the unit to it's headquarters behind historic Aduwa, protected by 10,000-foot mountains.

WASHINGTON CURRENT
 COMMENT

About this season of the year 1782, the United Stat es and Great Britain were patching up their difficult ties and putting the final touches on the business of getting rid of George the Third as ruler of this coun try. The Greeks do not seem to have a correspond ing antipathy for kings in general, and in particular for kings named George. They chose the month of November 1885 as the time for restoratlng the monar- ch and seating their George again on the throne. A litt- le more than a decade ago he was deposed under the procedure which consists in being asked to resign. Presumably he is glad that he is no longer out of work, but if one may judge by his pictures, George is a keen young man and must be do- ing some thinking. During his stay in England, he may have read Walter Scott. As he jogs back to Greece and to his old job, a few lines from the Lady of the Lake may come to his mind:
 Who OCT the herd would
 wish to reign.
 Fantastic, tickle, fierce and
 vain.

CLOSE DOORS
OF 'SHOWBOAT'
Night Club Shuts Up After
Six Years Operation as
PIaytime Center.

The Showboat, night club on the
Allisonville-r northeast Of the city,
is closed today after six years oper-
alton as one of indianapolis lead
ing night spots.
Frank M. Cantwell, owner of the
Showboat, said he has received noti-
fication from the State Alcoholic
Beverages Commission that he will
not be granted an extension of his
license, which expired April Z.
Mr.. Cantwell said he had under
stood road houses and night clubs
outside the city limits would be
permitted to operate until June l.
The closing, he said, was the result
of the excise department ruling and
not because he did not have stock
of whisky and beer.
The beverages commission several
days ago notified all whisky and
beer wholesalers not to sell to re-
tailers whose licenses have expired,
on pain OF revocation of their own
licenses. Mr.. Cantwell said the
Showboat had stock on hand suf-
f1cient to last week.
Mr.. Cantwell admitted he was
considering opening a downtown
bar and restaurant with dancing,
but said he could not proceed with
his plans until he receives some as
surance from state officials that his
application for a license will be
granted.
The Showboat just fails to qualify
as an urban resort, as it is situated
just 16 feet outside the city limits.
