PACT TO PERMIT
REICH ARMS NEAR
Agreement Contingent Upon
British Backing for
New ACCordS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 2-Agreement
by Great Britain and France upon a
comprehensive program settling issues
causing European tension and re-
lieving Germany from the military
restrictions of the Versailles treaty
appeared assured tonight.
The Anglo-French talks were ad-
journed shortly before midnight and
well-informed French quarters said
the conferees were in harmony and
that only few minor points re-
manned to be cleared up tomorrow.
A communique is expected after
that session. Pierre Laval, French
foreign minister, plans to return to
Paris Monday.
Agreement Anticipated.
Premier Ramsay Macdonald and
Sir John Simon, British foreign Sec
retary, in statements to the Associated
Press indicated that they also antici-
pate completed agreement.
I'VE have not quite finished" said
Macdonald. Simon, asked how the
negotiations were progressing. said,
"Oh, very well. but we shall have to
sit again Sunday"
Information in French circles,
which was inspired by the highest
official source, it was learned. out
lined essentials of the agreement as
follows:
l. Active British support for the
completion of Franco-Italian accords
and an Eastern Locarno pact, guar
anteering non-interference and nom
aggression in Southeastern and North
eastern Europe, respectively.
2. Legalization of German arma-
ments, but continued demilitarization
of the left bank of the Rhine.
3. A general ornaments agreement.
4. An Anglo-French air convention,
vited to join.
5. Return of Germany to the League
of Nations.
Official British quarters admitted
plans were formulated to check the
growth of German military aviation
and to obtain an aerial convention
among France, Germany and Eng
land and possibly other powers.
England's intention to carry on
talks with Germany and other Euro
pean nations in an attempt to OBJ
tain an inclusive European agree
ment on armamentS was confirmed in
an official quarter.
Other developments of the day
were:
A lengthy interview between Pre-
mier Pierre-Etienne Flandin OF
France and Sir Frederick Leith-R Ross,
British financial expert, at which
Flandin reputedly asked British aid
in obtaining international currency
stabilization.
Cabinet Summoned.
A special session of the British
cabinet called, some sources believed,
to consider an unforeseen turn taken
by the Anglo-French conversations or
some fundamental points of principle
connected with the Anglo-French ap-
proach to continental problems.
Everything is going WELL" Sir John
said when the talks we're adjourned
for dinner after five hours of dis
cuSsions.
The meeting between Flandin and
Leith- Ross, which lasted an hour,
drew from both British and French
sources the comment that their gov
ernments are worried over the inter-
national currency situation, but are
convinced nothing concrete can be
achieved without the cooperation OF
the United States.
Gradual weakening of the pound
against the franc during the past
year has made the position of the
franc on gold more and more unten-
able, financial experts stated.

Lewis Denunciation o.
RooseveIt's Aide Fore
casts Open War.

Organized labors break with the
administration widened yesterday with
powerful union leaders attacking DON
aid r. Richberg, executive director of
the National Emergency Council, and
S. Clay Williams, chairman of the
National Industrial Recovery Board.
"A traitor to labor at whose breast
he was suckled," was the bitter denun-
citation hurled against Richberg by
John L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, because of his recon-
mendations to the President for ex-
tension of the automobile code.
Richberg, in a statement last night
described the attacks on him as mot
of much Importance" and as amount
ing ito the demand that as public
official I should put subservience to
the policies of a particular labor
organization above loyalty to the Gov
enrment and to my conception OF the
public interest"
The head of the United Mine Work
ers assailed the right-hand adviser OF
President Roosevelt in the course OF
a hearing on the Black 30-hour- week
bill, a measure opposed by the admin
istration, before subcommittee of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, headed
by Senator NJ M. Nicely, Democrat, OF
West Virginia.
Senators AstOnished.
The rancorous nature of the attack
aStonished members of the subcom-
mittee and none of the Senators in
terposed as to this phase of Lewis
remarks
Coming on the heels of the action
of the Executive Committee of the
American Federation of Labor, criti-
cizing renewal of the automobile code
and charging Richberg with being
"out of sympathy with the aims and
purposes Of labor" the Lewis denun-
citation was recognized as accentuat-
ing the fact that organized labor has
broken with the Roosevelt administra-
ton and that open clashes may be
expected from now on, not only re-
garding N. R. A. policies and the 30
hour week, but wages paid on public
works and other matters.
The possibility that Richberg may
be driven to resignation by the storm

HOPKINS NEEDS
:. MORE FUNDS
FOR JOBS
international News Service

The billion dollars President
Roosevelt has allotted to WPA Ad-
ministrator Harry L, Hopkins to
provide jobs for the 3,500,000 en-
playable heads of families from
the relief rolls will not last until
next July /, end of the fiscal year.
But the total of 81, lao, 900, 900
allotted by the President to WPA
will not meet the needs according
to Hopkins.
More money will be forthcom-
ing, he said, but where the addi-
tional money is coming from, he
would not say. The President
still has in reserve, unallocated
from the four million dollar fund,
more than 400 million dollars.
There are also hundreds Of mil
Hons Of dollars allocated to other
governmental agencies which have
not yet been obligated.
Some of these funds may be
"impounded" by executive order,
and transferred to WPA. Similar
action was taken last spring
when Federal Emergency Relief
funds were exhausted before Con-
greSs acted on the present work
relief measure, adding $3.50, ,000,-
900 appropriation for direct re-
lief. At that time, more than
$3.50 100000 was impounded from
unobligated public works, Interior
Department, and other funds, and
transferred to relief.
The work program is costing
more, too, than was first figured.
The four billion allowed only
$1,l4O per man per year cost, to
provide Jobs for the 3,500,000.
Early approvals Of high-man-cost
projects cut the figure to $3.50,
then to $735 for the bulk of the
workers-those on the WPA pro-
gram.
- - With material costs at first
Estimated at 20 per cent for the
%WPA "quick-job' projects, it was
estimated that $50 per man per
month would be the average pay
limit.

THE HISTORY OF THE MIGHTY

80 boys and girls determined to do or te
die. This same fifty, with the excep-
ton OF few who had the good for
tune OF skipping a grade or the mis-
fortune to fall behind, have done il
well enough to be called the Sopho-
mores of 1895.
Miss Reynolds and Miss Plummer
the primary teacher, were doomed to
teach us our ABC's. Although these
first few years were much alike, there
are few things which stand out in our
memories Beside the annual Christmas
program, valentine box, and picnic, we
gave plays in which most of us par
