gates with the fineSSe of IT years experience, no one would guess that he had just performed a political miracle unequalled in New Eng land since Bossy Gillis first won the mayoralty in Newburyport, Mass, in 1929.
 I'm going to be the kind of a mayor that the working man wants" the soft-spoken Estes assured news- gatherers. "The mayors job is an important one,. and I'm going to have plenty of work to do to get down taxes and make living for the working man little better in Au- burn. But I'll have time to take care of my job at the crossing, too"
 Didn't Have Chance
 Until last night, almost anyone you encountered on an Auburn street would have told you that Estes, as a mayoral candidate, didn't have chance" In fact, no one was more astonished than Estes himself when final returns showed that he had edged out re- publican Mayor, George c. Wing, Jr., by 61 votes in non-partisan contest in which a total of 4,235 ballots were cast.
 Estes father and grandfather were both republicans, but early in life, he said, T discovered the er- TOTS of my ways" and turned

JAPAN IS TURNED
 DOWN OVER NAVY
Seven Delegations Headed By United States Re-
 fuse Her Demands
Continued on Page so
BY HENRY |. RussEr1

 London, Dec. 12.-(UP)-Seven delegations led by Great Britain and the United States rejected Japan's demand for naval equity to- day.
 It was learned from the United States delegation after the confer ence adjourned until tomorrow that Norman H. Davis. head of the delegation, had presented three arr guments against Japan's claim.
 These were intended to show that the Japanese plan for bringing the navieS of the three strongest naval powers to the same level = as out lined yesterday by Admiral Osami Nagano, head of the Japanese deIe- gation - was both unavoidable and unacceptable.
 . In the first place the U. S. Am- bassador-at-large contended, it would result in an increase rather than decrease in naval building.
 Secondly, Davis insisted, 1t was learned, that the Japanese project would upset Washington and Lon- don treaty arrangements which he said had created an equilibrium based upon the respective naval needs of the signatories. He sug- gested that there had been no change in the international situa- tion of nature to warrant revis- ion of this equilibrium. a
 The third point Davis made was that the Japanese plan failed to take account of the varying naval requirements among the powers. Those who rejected Japan's claim to naval equality. in addition to Daviss were Viscount MonSell of Evesham, 1 (Continued on Page 4.l

LITTLE NATIONS
 BLOCKED PEACE
Angry Over Granting of Concessions to MussO=
 lini; Change Things
BY WHARFAGE CARROLL (Copyright 1885, by United Press)

Geneva, Dec. F - (UP) - The small powers, angered by the conces- sions made to Premier Benito Mus solini in the Franco British peace proposals, won tactical victory to- day as soon as the leagues penalties committee of 18 assembled.
 In the first skirmish against the Franco-British plan, the small powers succeeded in forcing an agreement for a full debate on it when the counci" convenes next Tuesday. Opposition of Turkey and Poland obliged France and Britain to abandon their plan to submit the peace proposal to the councils con- mittee of five, where with the sup- port of Spain, they would have a majority. The committee of five is composed of France, Britain, Tur- key, Spain, and Poland. Under those circumstances, the committee of five could continue negotiations with Premier Benito Mussolini and the emperor of Ethiopia as it wished.
 Consequently, it becomes neces- sary to submit the plan directly to

~ IGHING, she dropped her head against
her mothers shoulder. Her small pink
tongue licked at the corners of her
0~ small pink mouth - graham crackers
and milk She liked graham crackers and milk
very much. Through the sleepy blur of her
deep content, she was conscious that her
mouth was being tidied, that her mother was
murmuring
Cynthia, you are messy little pig"
MESSY little pig" she echoed drowsily.
"Cynthy's very sleepy?"
"Ye-es." The word trailed off into gaspy
yawn. She drifted with swooning rapidity
nearer and nearer to complete sleep, her
mind a pleasant tumble of knowing that her
mother was unbuttoning her shoes, and re-
membering what nice day it had been.
Kindergarten in the morning and the chill
dren all laughing and excited, and all want
ing to talk at once when Teacher asked what
they wanted Santa Claus to bring them.
Cynthia had explained so carefully about what
she wanted most, just in case Santa Claus
might, in some way, happen to be around and
hear her. She wanted doll, big doll with
Evening star., 1935-12-22

brown hair like Mothers, and brown eyes
with thick, long lashes, and a pink dress, and
pink shoes. Then, because she was ashamed
for the school to hear but wanted Santa
Claus to know, just in case he was listening,
she had said to herself: "And / will call her
Susan" She didn't know why she thought
Susan was the most beautiful name in the
world 1t just was. And this most beautiful
doll must be Susan.
Teacher had said that she was sure Cynthia
would find the doll on Christmas morning
This assurance from one so wise and so ex-
perienced had sent into Cynthia's throat a
choke of warm excitement that stayed with
her all through school, and through the after
noon while she played with Barbara and Jane.
Barbara and Jane we're Cynthias best
friends At least Jane was. Barbara, of course,
was only baby four years old. But she was
James sister, and they we're always together;
so if you were friend of James, you had to
accept Barbara. Jane, now, was fine. She was
six weeks older than Cynthia, and practically
every day something came up that made it
necessary for Jane to mention the fact.
Evening star., 1935-12-22

But this afternoon there had been no argu
ing. The three of them had shown even less
than their usual lack of concentration on
their casual, haphazard games. In the midst
of some seemingly meaningless yet strenuous
maneuver, they would stop and wonder about
Christmas. Would they get what they wanted3
Would Santa Claus think they had been good
enough to be given everything they asked for2
I'm gonna get little red waggin!' Bar
bara cried, for the hundredth time, crimson
in the face from jumping up and down and
screaming so violently. Santa Claus is gonna
bring it Santa Claus, Santa Claus!'
"Oh, yeah?"
They all turned around and saw frankie
MacDowds freckled face gazing at them
across the hedge.
