REVEALED BY
SWANSON
Secretary Says Action
Prompted by Tokyo
ScraPPing Treaty
international News Service


The United States is consider
ing the possibility of fortifying
and establishing new naval bases
and naval stations in the Pacific
after Japan's denunciation of the
Washington naval treaty becomes
effective, Secretary of the Navy
Swanson disclosed today.
Secretary Swanson said that If
the United States loses its present
naval base in the Philippines
when those islands obtain COM
plete independence, the Navy may
have to look elsewhere in the Pa
cific for bases.
Warning Issued
He issued an indirect but un-
mistakable warning that the
navy's willingness to agree to re-
main satisfied with the existing
bases will depend upon the size OF
the fleet which Japan builds when
the Washington treaty lapses the
end of the next year.
Questioned at his press confer
ence as to whether the United
States would agree to renewal
of the naval base status quo, once
Japan's denunciation OF the treaty
becomes effective, he replied:
"It depends upon the size Of
other peoples navies."
Although he did not mention
Japan by name, his remark was
understood to have been directed
toward that nation, which is de-
manding the right to naval parity
with this country.
Wait ON Farley
The Secretary added the whole
matter of Americas naval bases
in the Pacific was now under con-
sideration, but that this govern
ment was not likely to take any
steps in the matter until another
naval conference was convened
or until after existing treaties
lapse.
Mr.. Swanson emphasized that
insofar as the Navy was concerned
the American naval building pro-
gram would be guided by what
other nations did. If no new
naval limitations agreement is
reached before expiration of eX-
listing treaties and if Great Britain
decides to exceed the limits of
existing treaties in the construc-
ton of cruisers as has been indi-
Gated in London dispatches, the
American Navy will have to give
serious consideration to its own
needs in this respect.

TWO AMERICAN
SPIES JAILED

COPENHAGEN, July 31.-Two
Americans, George Mink and
Nicholas Sherman, arrested two
months ago, have been sentenced
to IS months imprisonment on
charges of espionage. They will
be deported on their release from
prison.
They had been remanded by a
lower court for petty offenses
against public decency and using
forged passports, but counsel for
the Crown appealed, and today
the high court established the
charges of espionage, of which
they had been acquitted in the
lower court.
The trial was held behind
closed doors. According to an
official statement, however, the
Americans received heavy CORE
spondence at various fictitious ad.
dresses. Detectives found at their
lodgings code letters and $4,000
in cash, whose origin the accused
refused to disclose.

Rumblings along the New Deal

President Roosevelt was preparing
to unloose a vigorous counter
offensive against his recently re-
vitalized Republican foes who are
seeking to retake the White House
in 1886.
Democratic scouts are out in all
directions sounding public senti.
ment. Reports are flowing into
the executive offices concerning
sectional reaction to such issues
as heavy taxation of the wealthy,
continuance of the AAA farm
program in the face Of judicial
threats, Administration assaults
on the utility interests, and the
expenditure of billions for work.
relief.
Mr.. Roosevelt's answer to the in
creasingly lusty thrusts of his Re-
publican opponents will be taken
to the country soon after Con-
eress adjourns on a tranS.contin.
entail tour that already has been
tentatively SO arranged it can be
made in mid-August, September or
even October.
President Takes Stock
While the spotlight turns on
congressional Tuning and fret

President has been calling in his
administrative and political lieu
tenants seeking facts, figures and
arguments to refute recent at

MUST ANSWER
SUBP0ENAS,
HESAYS
Chairman Of Realty
Bond Probers Ired
BY N. Y. Stand
International News Service


A threat to haul Federal judges
before a Congressional committee
on contempt charges was hurled
today by Representative SABBATH
CD of Illinois, chairman Of the
House committee investigating the
alleged racket" of real estate
bondholders protective commit
tees.
Mr.. SABBATH was especially
aroused over limitations that New
York Federal judges would refuse
to answer subpoenas to testify be-
fore the committee on huge fees
allowed in reorganizations of real
estate properties. He said:
"Some of the judges may
have to face contempt proceed
ings If they don't come, and
they have intimated that they
wouldn't"
ADDITIONAL FUNDS SOUGHT
The committee, he said, plans
to seek additional funds from
Congress and extend it's investi.
cation to cover many cities in the
nation.
Tentative plans call for hear
ings, in order, in New York, Phila-
delphia, Boston, Detroit, Chicago,
Milwaukee, st. Louis, Cleveland,
Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The committee also may visit
Nashville. Tenn, and New Or
leans. Mr.. SABBATH said:
eve have received requests
from bar associations and real
estate boards in a dozen cities
to investigate activities of these
bOndhOlderS' protective commit
tees.
"The bar associations feel that
a few powerful lawyers have
control of defaulted bonds of
many Of these properties. They
have appealed for public hear
ings, believing that the publicity
has a good moral effect in pre-
venting outrageous conduct by
certain lawyers and promoters.
GROUPS ARE POWERFUL
"TheSe committees, in many
instances, are so powerful and
have behind them such big bank
ers and able lawyers, that they
can 60 into courts and get their
own reorganization plans ap-
proved.
eve have received the aid of
many lawyers who are attorneys
for benevolent associations and
similar organizations who have
suffered heavy losses from de-
faulted real estate bonds.
"They know that judges have
approved sales and fees that are
outrageous. The committees
have obtained the right to rep
resent all bOndhOlderS. They go
into court saying that there is
no opposition to their PLAN"
Mr.. SABBATH asserted that his in
vestigators had found hundreds
of instances where people who
had bought $4,000 of real estate
bonds are now on relief rolls.

II think the nations cOmpOs-

Old Arm Injury Cuts Career Of Young Ed Walsh

Meriden, Dec. 12.-Young Ed Walsh, the eldest of two profes- sional pitchers who are attempting to emulate the glorious deeds of an illustrious sire, Big Ed Walsh of Chicago White Sox renown, fig ures he is at the end of his tethcr as a moundsman and probably as a professional performer in any re- spect. It's all because of the re- currence of the i'll effects of an old injury.
 Walsh, a right-hander, tore his pitching arm an dshoulder badly back in 1927 when he crashed into a fence during a practice session at Notre Dame. Not long after, he ap- parently recovered from the injury and resumed hurling. But the ghost of the mishap returned to haunt him in 1933, while he was with Oak land of the Pacific Coast league. The old ailment from time to time made pitching a painful experience. thereby reducing his effectiveness, but he managed to stay with Oak land through 1893 and 1894, and part of the 1895 season. He drew his unconditional release from Oak land, and then caught on with New Orleans of the Southern Association only to be pursued by the jinx once more, with the result that the Peli- cans also released him late in the campaign. Doctors have advised him that he is suffering from ad- hesions and should rest the trou- blesome member for at least a season. As Walsh has passed the 30 mark in years, this news should be far from welcome.
 Young Eds 29-year old brother, Bob, will carry on the Walsh name. The husky right-hander went well with Indianapolis of the American Association and Wilmington of the Piedmont league last season, and is reported headed for big things next season. At present he is playing exhibition baseball in Puerto Rico.

 STARS WIN 1O-9
Fast Finish With Field Goal Wins Indoor Game
 Before 10000 Fans

Boston, Dec. 11.-(UP)-Notre Dame stars of the Rockne era put on a thrill-filled finish last night to defeat an l-Collegian eleven, 10-s, before 10000 fans in Boston's first indoor football game at Bos- ton Garden.
 Trailing the Collegians, 9-7, with but two minutes to play, the one- time South Bend heroes-Marty Brill, Bud Bonar, Steve Banas, Hugh Devore, Bucky O'Connor, Joe Sheeketski, "One-Play" O,Brien and Jim Leonard-staged Q typical NO- tre Dame finish.

INJURIES HAVE
 HALTED EAGLES

New Haven, Dec. 12-Riddled by injuries which cost them three games in the past couple of weeks, the New Haven Eagles are expected to l very near full strength when they clash with the Springfield In- dians in a regular Canadian-Ameri- can league hockey game at the Arena here on next Sunday night at 8:30.
 Coached by Bullet Joe" Sirnp- son, the Eagles have run afoul of 8 st- .ak of injuries shortly after the beginning of the season with the result that Ossie Asmundsen has been in the hospital for several weeks and Frank Jerwa, another star wingman, is now in a local hospital recuperating from a tonsil operation.
 This, together with the fact that quite few of the other players have been b,lnged up more or less seriously, left Simpson facing the ordeal of using two lines against three that the other teams have flung into action against them throughout the circuit.
 The Eagles and Indians are put ting on spirited battle for second place just now and they are both eager to knock the league-leading Philadelphia Ramblers off their lofty perch. The Eagles were in first place for a brief time recently, the first tnie they have climbed the heights since Simpson was last in New Haven five years ago.

SKATING RINK IN
 THOMASTON AWAITED

Thomaston, Dec. 12.-Thomaston is to have a skating rink on the high school athletic field on Clay street. Skating has formerly been confined mostly to Crystal lake, the only suitable place in the vicinity.
 The project was started by the local Young Mems club who went to Selectman Kaiser with the idea. MT. Kaiser agreed to help by fur- nishing the site and the labor. The surveying and leveling of the land was contributed by Allan Innes, local contractor. The rink will be 8 foot deep at its deepest point, in places being but few inches deep. A bank is being built around the spot to hold the water which will be obtained from a nearby hydrant. When completed the skating rink will be open to the public.
