Lindsay Renews Calls
at State Department.;
Neutrality Plans
international News Service

There is reason to believe that
Great Britain is renewing diplo-
matte influence on the state De
partment to assure that the sym.
pathy Of American officials will
be on Brains side in any gen.
eral European war which may
result from the efforts to check
Italian conquest of Ethiopia.
This influence is being brought
to bear by Sir Ronald Lindsay,
astute veteran envoy of the Brit
ish foreign Offices diplomatic
corps. Sir Ronald Is renewing
his frequent informal calls on
Assistant Secretary of State r.
Walton Moore. His latest visit
was on Saturday, when he
slipped unobtrusively into the
State Department just before
noon.
His usual excuse for dropping
in is that he wants to chat"
with Moore. He makes a point
of seeing Moore rather than
Secretary of State Cordeu Hull,
or James c. Dunn, the chief Of
the British section Of the State
Department.
Moore, known familiarly as
"the judge" has a reputation for
being the most genial and be-
nign official in the department.
Furthermore. he is Hull'S chief
adviser on neutrality.
Meanwhile, liberal leaders Of
the Senate were uniting in a drive
to block any neutrality legislation
giving President Roosevelt dis
cretionary power to impose en-
bargoes on war materials to
warning nations.
Senators Borah CD Of Idaho,
Clark CD of Missouri, Nye (DO
of North Dakota, and Vanden-
berg (RO of Michigan, announced
they had agreed to battle for legis-
lation, making it mandatory for
the President to impose en-
bargoeS against all warning ma
tionS.
Any other legislation. they said,
would give the President power
to name the guilty one" in any
war, punish that nation, aid its
enemy and thereby involve the
United States in q foreign con-
troverSy.

GIRL AVIATRIX
DEATHPR0BED

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 80 0NSD.
Investigation opened here today
into the mystery death of a pretty
25-year-old aviatrix who was found
unconscious and badly burned in
a flaming bed.
The girl, who was known as
Eva Robbins, was identified ten
tatively as Eva Austin, famous
stunt flier in Mid-Western air
circuSes. Clippings of her flying
featS and pictures establishing
identity were found in the tiny
apartment.
Police, who said the girl showed
none of the reflexes common to
those who burn to death, ad-
vanced the theory she was in
jured fatally before the fire
started. She died on the way to
a hospital, where an autopsy will
be held to determine if poison
caused her death.

BONUS BATTLE
MAPPED BY
PATMAN
Ready to Compromise
On Initiation Issue,
He Asserts
international News Service


Representative Wright Patman
CD of Texas, a leader in the
fight for cash payment Of the
soldiers bonus, today offered to
compromise on the question of in.
flation.
Patman's $2,0OO,O0O,O 900 bill,
which was passed by Congress last
year but vetoed by President
Roosevelt, called for issuance Of
new money to pay the bonus.
In the fight last year the Ameri-
can Legion advanced the Vinson
bill, which called for issuance of
bonds to pay off the wartime
certificates. At it's last conven-
ton the Legion went on record as
opposed to the initiation method.
Patman said:
1--WE will have a meeting Of
our steering committee on
Thursday, January 2, to deter.
mine our course.
with me the question of pay
ment Is first and the method
is second. / will compromise on
the method of payment if
have to, but / will not compro-
mise on the question of full and
complete payment.
whatever is done, / expect
the Patman bill to be voted on
in the House on January 13, and
to be the first bill to be con-
Sidered by Congress"
Patman opposed the Byrnes-
Steiwer compromise bill, which
calls for payment in bonds instead
of actual currency.
