LONDON ACCORDS
SHUNNEDBY REICH
Aviation Clause Is Only New
Feature, Officials in
Berlin Declare.

tCopyrPht, 1885. by the Associated Press)
BERLIN, February 4-Authorita-
tive quarters said today that Germany.
on the basis of preliminary examina-
ton. was unable to accept the new
Franco British accord as it stands.
Reichsfuehrer Hitler, French
non-committal."
The best that can be said about
the accord" it was stated authorita-
lively, ''is that it does not appear to
be directed against US as does the
Roman pact.
Given Chance to Choose.
Heretofore We have always been
presented with cut-and-dried agree
ments, while the London pact gives
us chance to choose what we want
This naturally pleases us, but the
accord itself is not acceptable"
German officials called the Anglo
French agreement "old stuff and
indicated there was little chance of
Germany accepting it now or later
in its present form.
with the exception of the value of
the aviation clause, the Anglo-French
accord presents nothing new" said
these officials. "Germany's return to
Geneva is thrown in with the other
questions, whereas We hold it apart
from the other things
There is no chance of GermanyS
going back into the League until after
We are certain that equality in all
respects has been actually granted"
Reichsfuehrer Hitler received a
copy of the agreement yesterday from
Ambassador Phipps of Great Britain.
The Ambassador earlier had given
Foreign Minister Won Neurath an out
line of the draft.
The foreign ministry. it was indi-
Gated, will likely take considerable
time before giving its official view of
the accords.
In addition to the air clause, it was
felt here that England's adhesion to
the Franco-Italian accord at Rome
was also unclear. since England al
ready had agreed to consult over the
question of Austrian independence.
THE question now is" an official
said, whether England stands ready
not only to consult but to lend mill
tary assistance to keep Austria as she
is"
The foreign Office appeared con-
cerned over the Austrian angle of the
Rome pact and has asked Germanys
ambassadors to find out whether the
'hands-off policy" applies also to
Italy and France or whether it is en-
tirely directed against Germany.
However" said officials, there are
some good things in the London ac-
cord and we will study it carefully"
Germany Adamant.
Although the foreign Office declined
to be officially quoted until it had
examined the full text of the London
agreements, one spokesman said:
The German government has not
yielded one inch of its standpoint that
Germany must have its equality ac-
knowledged in practice as well as in
theory before it will return to the
League or join any conference what
ever. That is final"

The House was advised by its Ap-
propriations Committee today to

S98, 1876 500 for expenses in the fiscal

is S6,164,4l7 more than was allowed

sented restoration of salaries to the
full 100 per cent level, but the con-
mittee's hearty approvalNo of the JUS

and the Labor Departments work in
gathering statistics led to other i'm

The committee stepped the Bureau
of Budgets estimate work up $500, 900
to S5,000,000 total, or $620,000 more
than 1885.

PERJURY CITATION

BY the Associated Press.
Citation of one or more witnesses
for perjury in testimony in connec-
ton with shipbuilding contracts was
contemplated today by the Senate
Munitions Committee.
There is before u.s." declared Sem
ator Vandenberg, Republican, Of Mich
igan, a committee member, "suffi-
cient evidence to certify the record to
the United States district attorney to
learn whether perjury is involved"
The statement was dictated into the
Record Immediately after the Michi-
gan Senator read letter from Charles
H. Hyde of Port Washington, N. Y, an
attorney, in which previous testimony
of Axel B. Craven, Washington at
torney, was in part contradicted.
Clark Seconds Statement.
Senator vandenberg's statement
was Immediately seconded by Senator
Clark, Democrat. of Missouri.
Barely had the letter been read
than the committees only woman
witness this session. Miss Judy
Kitchen, secretary to Laurence r.
Wilder. himself a shipbuilder, was re-
called.
Craven had denied discussing with
Wilder the services of a 'fixer" who.
for a fee of S250,000, was declared
to be in a position to bring s10,0O0,-
900 to S15,000,000 worth of Shipbuild-
ing contracts to Wilders company,
Gulf Industries of Pensacola, in the
Summer of 1888.
In his letter Hyde, listed previously
as a witness at the meeting in WASH
ington at which the "fixer" services
were said to have been offered, de-
clared:
"He (Gravem) was very bold in
his assertion that a man he repre-
sented was so influential that he took
part in framing specifications and
conditions for warship contracts"
Meeting Held With Wilder.
Craven, under committee ques-
tioning, declared a meeting had been
held with Wilder at which he had
discussed employing A. P. Homer, a
Washington marine architect. to get
business, but denied any fee or FIX
ing" had been discussed.
Testimony of another witness,
Thomas M. Cornbrooks of Ceilings
wood, N. j., executive vice president
OF Gulf Industries, was contradicted
in part by Miss Kitchen.
Testifying Friday, Cornbrooks de-
MED he had discussed with his
brother, Ernest T. Cornbrooks, a.
meeting in Washington in July, 1888,
at which the committee claims a 27-
ship program was divided among sew
eral ship companies by agreement
on bidding.
Statement Challenged.
"Mr. Cornbrooks (Thomas) dis
cussed the meeting with Mr.. Wilder
Immediately after the contracts were
let," Miss Kitchen testified. She
added that Cornbrooks quoted his
brother as mentioning details of the
conference.
In turn, Miss Kitchens statement
was challenged by Ernest T. Corn
brooks, who took the stand this
morning
You say you never discussed this
meeting with your brother, Ernest
Cornbrooks?" Senator Vandenberg
asked.
II did not" he asserted. "I never
discussed the ship business with my
brother"

ROOSEVELT CALLS
|. PARLEY ON N. R. A.
Some of Functions of Agency
May Be Shifted to Com.
merCe.
BY the Associated Press.

Administration N. r. A. advisers
were summoned to the White House
today for another of the conferences
out of which President Roosevelt seeks
to evolve a permanent policy for the
Recovery Administration.
Authorative sources said definite
action on the problem was expected
within two weeks That Mr.. Roose-
welt was pressing his aides toward
conclusions was evidenced by meet
ing of the Recovery Board members
with Donald r. Richberg today prior
to the White House call.
There was increasing talk of trans
fer of some N r. A. functions to other
Government agencies, possibly the
Commerce Department.
The drive of the American Fedora
ton of Labor for 30-hour week was
described as one reason for an early
presidential definition of the admin
istration's intentions Another reason
was a desire to relieve business of
uncertainty that might be attributed
to indecision about the Blue Eagles
future.
May Ask Flexibility.
Some officials felt it was still neces-
Sary to work out N. r. A. on an evo-
lutiorary basis, with a maximum of
administrative f1exibility, so that
changes may be made at any time
within the present framework of N.
r. A.
The only things regarded as certain
in the new law were continuation Of
collective bargaining, minimum wages
and maximum hours and the ban on
child labor.
Secretary of Commerce Roper told
a House appropriations subcommittee
during hearings on the departments
appropriation bill that reorganization
and expansion Of the departments
activities are under study. transcripts
of the hearings we're made public
today.
Studies Reorganization.
Asked by Chairman Oliver, Demo-
crat, of Alabama, of the subcommittee
whether further reorganization was
contemplated. Roper asserted:
1--WE are pursuing this study con-
tinuously. We have not gone as far
in working out this organization as
we feel we might have done but for
the fact that the several recovery
agencies are, in our opinion, likely to
develop functions and activities which
will be brought into the department
under the normal set-up.
II refer, among other things, to the
N. r. A."
Roper said he had in mind shaping
the department into three large sec
tions, each with an assistant Secre-
tary over it. One would handle
scientific activities, another transpor-
tation and third business.
Would Increase Stats.
With more employees being sought
all along the line, the Secretary said
with reference to the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce that
this increase is necessary on &C
count of general business improvement
and the consequently increased de-
mands for service"
The department asked for more
funds to add an employe or two in
its district Offices in Buffalo, Detroit,
Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, st. Louis, San
Francisco and Seattle.
