NEW HEARING SET
ON HOUSING ISSUE
Bethesda Project to Be Con-
sidered Again Decem-
ber 10.
BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, November g.
The fight over the s5,000.000 COM
munity housing project which de-
velopers hope to build near Bethesda
was right back where it started today.
Apparently settled when the county
commissioners voted yesterday to deny
the rezoning necessary to pave the
way for the project, the entire issue
was reopened shortly afterward on
technical point of law.
Only Two at Hearing.
Robert B. Peter, jr., counsel for the
property owners, appeared before the
board after it had voted down the
proposed zoning amendments and at
tackled the legality of public hearing
held on the coming changes several
weeks ago.
Peter pointed out that only two
commissioners had attended the hear
ing at Bethesda, whereas the law re-
quires at least three members for
quorum. The hearing therefore was
not legal, he asserted.
On the basis of the attorneys plea,
Commissioner Robert D. Hagner moved
that new hearing be granted and
the board voted unanimously on his
motion. The new hearing was set
for December 10 at o'clock in Rock
vile.
Follow Recommendation.
The hearing referred to by Peter
brought forth a storm of protest
against the housing project which
Harry Gormley, sr., of Washington
proposes to carry out at the District
of Columbia line on Wisconsin avenue.
The land is owned by Mrs. Rena
Parker and Donald Woodward, who
applied for the zoning changes
On the basis of the opposition
shown by residents of the affected
area, the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission rec
omme2ded that the commissioners re-
ject the application for the change,
and the board voted to yesterday
to adopt the recommendation.
Commissioners Robert D. Hagner
Paul Coughland and Richard H Lans-
!dale voted against the proposed
change, Commissioner Frank H.
karn was recorded as not voting,
while Commissioner Charles E. King
favored the change.
It was shortly after this that Peter
appeared at the head of a group that
included Police Justice Harold c.
Smith, associate counsel; Benjamin
w. Parker, who represented his wife
Mrs. Rena Parker; Woodward. Harry
Gormley, sr., and Harry Gormley, jr
Bowman Resigns.
During the meeting the board re-
ceived resolution from the Citizens
Committee of Section 3, Chevy Chase
appealing to the commissioners to
oppose any proposal to park the
center of Connecticut avenue vacated
by the Capital Transit Co. The
committee favors paving the entire
street when Improvements are made.
!. The board approved the issuance
of building permit to r. T. Coving-
ton for public garage at Wisconsin
avenue and Elm street in Bethesda.
1t accepted the resignation Of Julian
u. Bowman, an employe of the county
engineering department, as of No
vember 8. Bowman explained that he
had been offered a position elsewhere.

ROOSEVELT BACK
FROM FISHING TRIP
Early Denies Bonus or Any
Other Issue Was Talked
Over Week End.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt returned to his
desk at the White House today after
a week end in the Blue Ridge Noun
tainS of Western Maryland trout
fishing and with never thought of
the bonus or other legislative matters.
This information was ventured at
the White House evidently to put at
rest speculation brought about by the
fact that the President had with him
over the week end in the mountains
a formidable group of Democratic
congressional leaders, as well as Post
master General Farley.
Bonus Discussion Denied.
According to Stephen Early. one of
the Presidents secretaries, who also
was one of the week end party, the
President went to the Woodmont Rod
and Gun Club for brief rest and an
opportunity to enjoy some trout fish
ing and for no other purpose. He
said the bonus was not discussed and
that it has not been discussed by the
President since his return last night.
He added also that the President did
not discuss any Government policy or
talk legislation with his companions
on this expedition.
Mr. Roosevelt fished from lake on
the club property and caught 10 large
trout. which exceeded the catch of
all the others of the party. On his
motor trip back to Washington yester-
day afternoon the Presidents cara
van of automobiles stopped for brief
visit at an infantile paralysis insti-
tuition on the outskirts OF Berkeley
Springs, w. Va, only about 10 miles
from the Woodmont Rod and Gun
Club reserves.
At the institution the President
talked to the crippled children, who
are recuperating from infantile pa
ralysis, and talked for a few moments
with the governing board of the
institution. This institution was
established last September by local
board, assisted by the West Virginia
Relief Administration. In response to
the Presidents inquiries as to the
progress being made and as to the
prospects of using the warm waters of
that regeion for treating the patients,
he was informed that the institution
is progressing satisfactorily and that
work is now in full swing to provide
warm waters for the patients bathing
Greeted in Berkeley Springs.
As the President motored through
Berkeley Springs, he was greeted by
several thousand people along the
highway. His car came to stop ad-
jacent to the famous elm tree supposed
to have been planted by George Wash
ington, where he was formally greeted
by Representative Randolph in whose
congressional district, Berkeley Springs
Is located
The President arrived back at the
White House shortly after dark last
night.

ITALY MAY AGREE

English Statesmen Learn
Two Have Been Named

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 13-Eforts of
France and Britain to keep the Italo-
Ethiopian dispute from becoming an
embarrassing issue before the League
OF Nations Council next week appar-
emily met with success today when
Italy indicated a willingness TO un-
dertake conciliation under the Italo-
Ethiopian treaty of 1928.
British officials we're informed that
Italy had selected two members to
serve on the committee and were con-
fident that this move is sufficient to
keep the delicate problem off the
agenda of the Council, at least at the
forthcoming session.
Ethiopia already has selected her
representatives on the committee, and
now a neutral member must be picked.
The British believe the Italian action
has started the ball definitely rolling
for conciliation away from Geneva.
Nations Fear War.
France and Britain both had been
apprehensive over signs that Italy
and Ethiopia were drifting toward war.
They were described as anxious
to keep the dispute out Of the lap
of the League of Nations, where En-
peror Halle SelaSsie has tried per-
sistently to place it, because of fears
that Geneva might be forced to con-
denim Italy'S elaborate military prep
arations in East Africa.
Such condemnation, it was feared,
would strain the close relations re-
Gently established among Italy. Britain
and France in dealing with the ques-
tion of German rearmament.
Protest Sent Geneva.

announced receipt of another COM
munication from Ethiopia protesting
strongly against Italy's warlike
preparations and urging the League
Council to act Immediately in the

DIPLOMATS UNEASY.

LONDON, May 13 (P.-Diplomatic
circles were uneasy today over the
death of Marshal Joseph Pilsudski.
Polish dictator, seeing the possibility
of new frontier difficulties between
Poland and Germany with a resultant
realgnment of political relationships
throughout Europe.
Some quarters believe Reichsfuehrer
Hitler may be less hesitant now IN
pushing the Pomorze Polish Corri-
dor) question than when the powerful
marshal was alive.
European diplomacy long has looked
with foreboding to the possibility of
PilSudski's death which came at Q
particularly untimely period.
Few diplomats believe Poland will
be able to continue balancing the
friendships of Germany and France.
There is also conviction that the
internal political rivalries which the
dictator smothered soon may flare up
and produce repercussions in the gov
ernments policies.

The trouble, says South Trim
BILE, House clerk, Is that lot of
the men who write the laws don't
know what's in them when 1t
comes to taking of Government
typewriters.
Typewriters are furnished to
members of the House for their
offices.
Testifying before the House Ap-
propriations Committee, Trimble
said:
1.-The biggest trouble we have
with typewriters is due to the fact
that members do not know the
law on the subject and send them
home. There ought to be some
steps taken to stop that. It Is
against the law to take type
writer's out Of the House Office

D. c. RENTALS BILL
SPEEDED IN HOUSE
District Day Delay Gives Ell.
Ienbogen Chance to Pro-
mote Measure.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Postponement Of District day in the
House until the latter part of the
week, it developed today, has made it
possible for action to be expedited on
the Ellenbogen bill creating a spe-
cial commission to TX and control
rentals.
Ellenbogen's measure, now on the
House calendar by virtue of the fact
that it was reported without hearings,
was not to be called UP had the
House adhered to its regular schedule
and considered District legislation to-
day, but the delay has given Ellen
bogen an opportunity to complete
hearings on his bill and get full COM
mittee reconsideration at its regular
meeting Wednesday. The bill was
favorably reported by the committee
last week, but as result Of requests
for hearings Ellenbogen agreed to the
unusual procedure of allowing the
public to voice its opinion after the
measure was on the calendar. One
hearing already has been held and the
second Is scheduled tomorrow at
10 am.
As result of these hearings, Ellen
bogen will ask the full committee
II it desires to reconsider its action
and withdraw the measure from the
calendar. If the full committee agrees
to stand by its former action the
measure will be called up in the
House when 1t begins consideration
OF the District calendar.
Although definite day has not been
fixed for the delayed District day, in
dications are it will be Friday. The
postponement was ordered for two
reasons-the absence from Washing
ton Of Chairman Norton of the Dis
trict Committee and the desire of the
House to expedite passage of the 1886
legislative appropriation bill. This
supply bill was reported to the House
today and general debate started.
Ellenbogens bill is one Of the IL
District measures on the House CAL
endar awaiting action. All but several
Of the others are of major importance
These include bill to tighten the
existing liquor control act, the unem-
ployment compensation bill, which
also bears Ellenbogen's name and the
Norton old-age pension bill.
The airport bill and measures
authorizing construction of two new
bridges and an underpass across New
York avenue northeast in the area
between Florida and West Virginia
avenues are among the others which
have an important status on the list.
Chief among the so-called minor bills
is one which already has passed the
Senate providing a salary of $1,000
a year for Col. Wallace M. Craigie,
professor of military science and tao
tics in the Washington high schools.

ference with Maxim Litvinoff, COM
issar for foreign affairs, at the foreign
Office this afternoon. He will speak
at the dinner Litvinoff is giving in
his honor tonight and meet Joseph
Stain, the Soviet dictator, at the
Kremlin tomorrow
Before leaving the railroad station,
the French foreign minister spoke
briefly into a microphone, saying: Il
am happy to have signed the Franco
Soviet pact and I have come to Mos
cow in the interest of peace"
The President of the Moscow Soviet,
M. Bulganin. and N. ~ KreStinSkl,
vice commissar for foreign affairs,
were among the high Soviet officials at
the station. Numerous members of
the diplomatic corps also were present.
The newspaper Pravda in It's edi-
torial comment on the significance of
Laval's visit stressed the Soviet
Unions readiness to sign mutual as
sistance pacts with any country and
repeated recent press declarations that
the Franco-RuSsian accord is Of purely
defensive character.
I'VE are convinced that any day
there may become a world var and
visit calamities on the laboring masses
of all countries" it said. "The
Franco-Soviet pact is the beginning
of a new period of cooperation for
Soviet Russia and France for the
maintenance of peace"
Pravda struck out at Germany and
Poland. declaring their refusal to
join the proposed Eastern security
accord was sufficient to demonstrate
the timeliness and necessity of the
Franco-Soviet agreement"

gravely concerned over the danger OF

Der, it was said joint Franco-British
representations to come to Rome and
Adds Ababa were being considered.
Both the Italian and Ethiopian gov
ernments are being urged to appoint
the conciliation commission provided
il the Italo-Ethiopian treaty of 1928
to settle their frontier dispute.
British sympathy, observers said,
has swung from Italy to Ethnopia dur
ing the last few months.
Earlier in the year British pressure
was concentrated upon Ethiopia be-
cause of her unwillingness to nego-
tiate directly with Italy. These ne
gotiations failed, however, and Britain
now pins her hope of keeping the dis
pute out of the League of Nations on
speedy setting up Of conciliation
machinery
Premier Benito Mussolini's elaborate
military precautions were regarded
here as likely to imperil peace.
Italy has certainly been guilty of

League can avoid censuring Italy for

From Drummond and Grandi
Britain received the information that
Italy opposed Ethiopia's demand that
both the frontier skirmish at Ualual,
in which some 80 Italian native SOL
diers were killed, and the question Of
delimination of frontiers be submitted
to conciliation.
Though willing to place the Ualual
incident before the proposed Concilia-
ton Committee. Italy said she would
insist that the frontier be settled
