Lobby kilograms
Sent to Save Job
OF Meter Reader

BY the Associated Press.
Evidence that citizens OF Ridge
field, Conn. signed kilograms Op-
posing the Wheeler Rayburn bill
on the plea of their meter reader
that he would lose his job If they
didn't, was presented to the
Senate Lobby Committee today
Harry E. Hull, who investigated
80 kilograms sent from Ridgefield
to Senator Maloney. Democrat, OF
Connecticut, said an Associated
Gas & Electric Co. meter reader
told residents also that if they
didn't sign the kilograms, their
rates would be increased.
Twenty-Five were signed In
response to the latter assertion.
Hull testified. He said he found
none of the senders claimed to
have paid for the kilograms, and
others denied authorizing use OF
their names.
Chairman Black said the COM
mittee received reports from tele-
graph companies in 20 towns that
out of 81. $50 such kilograms. only
Is had been paid for by the
senders.

After the House and Senate COM
mittees had agreed yesterday to share
Hopson's time. the utilities man ap-
peared suddenly about $50 pm be-
fore Blacks committee and told how
representatives were sent to the New
York Times after an editorial appear
ed which he considered unfair.
Il told our people," he said, "that
the New York Times and their edi-
torial policies did more harm than
our advertising did good.
i saw no advantage in advertising

of a business corporation that was
trying to protect its investors and
then had editorial writer's that had
so little knowledge of the situation
about which they were writing
The long and short Of it is that
you tried to see about stopping the
ads or changing their editorial policy,
Black said.
Il told them to see the people Of
the New York Times and try and ex-
plain our problem" Hopson answered
Under questioning, Hopson &C
knowledged that he suggested efforts
to persuade the Gannett and Scripps-

Because he considered some of Hop

once snapped:

will be asked and answers given.
Well have no speeches and no argu-
ments here"
Black dropped hint that If Hop
son did not appear before him today
as soon as the House Committee
public session was over things would
start popping.
Before the truce was reached yes
terday, Black said O'Connor supplied
a guard for HopSon and added that
the utilities man was surrounded and
aided by officers in making his run
ming escape" recently from a Senate
subpoena O'Connor, in turn, denied
the House committee tried to pro-
tect" Hopson.

Those who believe in the slogan "if
you want peace you must be prepared
for war" see their theories fully con-
flrmed by that estimable British
statesman.
Lord Cecil is true EngEshm1n.
He is so irked By ItalyS attitude
towardS AbysSinid that he is iCill-
ing to throtD the lDhole might of
the British empire, the navy and
the aviation, in tDdr against Italy
to preuent another World War.
Several centuries ago another Eng
lishman, King Henry VIII, had the
same thought. When he was APP
preached by the Ambassador Of the
much-harassed King Francis OF
France to help him to end wars IN
Europe he showed himself enthusiast
tic about it. He told the French AM
baSSador that he was so much in IA
vor of the universal peace idea that
he was willing to send big army to
the continent to fight any nation
which broke Europe's peace. 1t was
the idea of the Kellogg pact with
teeth. The scholarly Lord Cecil is fol-
lowing the idea of the famous and
much-wedded King of England.
\ y
The coming Italo- Ethiopian conflict
has performed another miracle m
Great Britain besides making Lord
Cecil a warrior. 1t made ViScouat
Snowden a pro- American. The dis
tinguished British labor peer has been
an avowed opponent of everything
American since he was chancellor of
the eXchequer and had to deal with
the war debts.

considers nor that only close
Anglo cooperation can
safe the World from perdition.
The reason for the fundamental
change of opinions of these two dis
tinguished Britons is that they real
ize that their government is bound to
yield to Mussolini's adamant point of
view regarding Italy's territorial ex-
pansion and are afraid of the conse-
quences. Not as far as Ethiopia is
concerned, or the British interests in
Ethiopia, They fear the inevitable
consequences Of a clash Of color and
races.
The foreign Office is not even
mentioning such possibility-it still
believes in the ostrich policy. But
the Council for National Defense is
taking no chances.

METHOD|STS NEAR
MERGER ACCORD
Representatives of Three
Branches Preparing Con-
Stituti0n to Execute Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August l6.-Bishops
and laymen representing the three
principal branches of the Methodist
Church last night were near agree
ment on a constitution by which, if
adopted, their organizations would be
merged into a unified church.
Meeting in suburban Evanston to
adopt program for submission to the
general conferences of the three di-
visions, the delegates had before them
only two major problems, they said.
One was selection OF judicial sys-
tenn BY which supreme court" would
check the conStitutionality of any &C
ton taken by a general conference
provided for in plans Tor the merger.
The other was subdivision of the
proposed unified Methodist Church
into regional or jurisdictional confer
ences. Leaders we're hopeful that both
questions would be settled before the
conference here was endd.
Formal Procedure Discussed.
Formal procedure for the holding of
general conference to replace the
annual conferences of the Methodist
Episcopal Church 1Northern, the
Methodist Episcopal Church South
and the Methodist Protestant Church
in the event the three units approved
the united organization were discussed.
Delegates suggested that the merg-
ing plan contain a provision that the
plan would become effective one year
after its ratification by each of the
general conferences of the three
groups.
DR.. H. E. Woolever of Washington,
D. c.. editor of the National Meth
odist Press, said delegates had given
tentative approval to a proposal to
divide the new united church into six
regional or jurisdictional conferences.
They would include, he said. a
Western, North Central, South Cen
trail, Northeastern, Southeastern and
Central Conference. The latter, he
said, would be for churches which
now belong to Negro conferences.
To Retain Membership.
It was tentatively agreed that where
Negro churches were members of a
white annual conference, as in the
North they would retain such men,
bership. The racial conference, dele
gates said. was not suggested as an
effort toward discrimination. but
rather to allow Negro churches TO
retain their jurisdictional rights.
Delegates from the Methodist Prot
estant Conference. which has no
bishops, debated the suggestion that
the conference elect bishops before
the unifcation plan is approved.
Under the proposed constitution the
General Conference would determine
the number of bishops to be named in
each regional conference, but all pres
ent bishops would retain their rank.

on Mussolini's terms as starting
point for negotiations which he hoped
would close the gap between the Brit
ish and Italian viewpoint.
Emperor Halle Selassie, not repre-
sented at the parleys. remained an
uncertain factor since the three pow
ers' problem is to find a way of max
ing Italian control of Ethiopia &C
ceptable to him.
Their hopes lay in the possibility
that he would accept Mussolinis min
imum demand when he Is convinced
war is inevitable.
Spokesman of the three powers
gathered in Laval's office in the Quay
D'Orsay after the French premier had
brought Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy
and Anthony Eden of Great Britain
together at the British Embassy last
night.
Aloisi was reluctant to talk to Eden
separately, but finally was persuaded
to do so by Laval.
Laval. in his talk with Eden and
Aloisi, learned of their apparently
irreconciliable positions from which
he must evolve a compromise If war
is to be averted.
Rejects Idea Of Mandate.
Aloisi gave the impression that
Mussolini intends to establish Italian
political influence in Ethiopia by force
if necessary.
Tecla Hawariat. Ethiopian Minister
to Paris, while accepting the posi-
bilities of "the cooperation of other
governments for Ethiopia's economic
development, again rejected any idea
of mandate and reiterated Ethiopia's
intentions of maintaining complete
liberty"
Laval, Eden and Aloisi have three
weeks in which to find peaceful solu-
ton Of the problem which means war
If they and the League Of Nations
Council fail.
While the main parleys were pro-
ceeding the Cancellation commission
resumed work on the Ualal problem
with the naming of Nicolas Socrate
Politis, Greek diplomat, as the fifth
arbitrator.

and Avenue Grand Theaters on

Gable stated. They know that
the odds are stacked too high
against them. Intense ambition
for stardom is usually found in
amateurs who do not realize the

Home Boss

Alan j. Bachrach, manager Of
Warner Bros. Home Theater, 1880
c st. N. E., was born in Balti-
more, Md, in 1881. After gradu-
ating from the Baltimore Poly
technic Institute in 1898, he went
to work for his father with
Bachrach and Bros. photog-
rapherS, later coming to Washing
ton to manage the studio here.
Mr.. Bachrach entered the
motion picture business in 1910
as manager of the Pastime Thea
ter on Pennsylvania Avenue. Two
years later he was transferred to
the Casino Theater, which stood
where the Hecht Company now
has it's department store.
In 1915 and 1916, he was EN-.
ployed as a film salesman, leaV'
ing his position to enlist in the
Army, in which he served for two
years. After the war, he con-
tinued his association with the
music and theatrical business, and
served as manager of theaters in
HagerstoWn, Waynesboro, and
other nearby points.
Since that time, Mr.. Bachrach
has filled the managerial posts at
| a number of theaters, being placed
at the Home in October of last
year.
He is a member of the Masonic
Order and also a member of the
Variety Club, and his recreations
include golf, contract bridge and
pinochle.
