The basic trouble is not so much the

Attorney General Peterson refused

2ONEW CARDINALS
CREATED BY POPE
Pontiff Avoids Mention of
War Situation at Secret
Consistory.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, December 10
Pope Plus purposely avoided discus
sion Of pending Italo-E Ethiopian peace
proposals. today in secret consistory
where he created 20 new cardinals.
The Pontiff said any observation he
might make would not be well under
stood, or would be deliberately mis-
contrued" in many places. His holi-
ness did. however, "pray God fervently
for peace with justice, with truth and
with charity"
The consistory, during which the
20 new princes of the church we're
elected, was saddened by the sudden
death of Cardinal Lega, rs. Bishop of
Frascati. an hour and q half before
the conclave.
U. S. Bishopric Filled.
1--WE do not wish to enumerate those
conflicts which give worry not only
to Europe and Africa, but all the
world, because in so many places
there Is danger our word either would
not be well understood or would be
deliberately misconstrued, the pontiff
said irr his address.
Only % Of the 48 cardinals were
present as the Pope, escorted by his
booted noble guards, walked briskly
to the conSistory hall and mounted
his scarlet -draped throne unaided.
His holiness filled the only vacant
bishopric in the United States, that
at Helena, Mont, by appointing
Joseph P. Gilmore, chancellor of that
diocese, to succeed Ralph L. Hayes,
who was recently named rector Of the
American College in Rome.
Cardinals Now Total So.
The consistory lasted an hour, the
Pope entering and the doors closing
at GAS am. (3:45 am, Eastern stand
ard time), and the conclave ending at
10:45 am.
The death Of Cardinal Lega and
the election Of 20 new cardinals
brought the total in the college to
68-37 Italians and 81 from other ma
tions-two less than the 10 permitted
oy the holy see regulations.
The sacred college approved Pope
Plus 20 elevations-the greatest num-
ber in modern times-as each cardi-
nal raised his hat as an affirmative
vote in the ancient manner of elec-
ton.
Other Ceremonies Set.
The red hats. symbol of a cardinals
rank. will be given the new princes
Of the church Wednesday evening in
secret session and publicly in St.
Peters Thursday at the public con-
sistory.
Before the ceremony of elevation
the 78-year-old pontif delivered his
customary allocution to the next
ranking members Of the Catholic
hierarchy.
Then he intoned in Latin:
Therefore, on the authority Of ON
nipotent God, the blessed apostles
Peter and Paul, and our own, we
create and proclaim cardinals" and
he named each of the 20.
New Cardinals Notified.
A delegation Of papal heralds con-
sisting Of a papal chamberlain, a
master Of ceremonies, and an ar
chivist, was assigned to go to the resi-
dences and hotels of the newly created
cardinals to advise them Of the ap-
pointments and invite them to visit
the Pope Wednesday evening.
This afternoon they received the
congratulations Of their colleagues and
lesser prelates.

LONDON, December 16-The Naval
Conference temporarily sidetracked its
discussion Of japanese proposals for
total tonnage limitation OF fleets to-
day and decided to listen to British
suggestions for limitation of the size
of ships and guns.
The British will make their pro-
posals for such qualitative" limita-
ton at the next meeting of the dele
cations.
Viscount Monsell, first lord of the
admiralty, summarized the Confer
ence situation to Prime Minister STAN
ley Baldwin today, while delegates
sought to unravel the snarl resulting
from Japan's equality demands.
Informed sources expected the ne
gotiators to attempt to dispose OF or
side track the parity issue soon. to
permit the conference to proceed with
discussion of limitations on subma-
rines and tonnage and type Of war
ships and ornaments.
A secret session of chiefs alone of
the American. British, japanese,
French and italian delegations was
called for this afternoon and was ex-
pected generally to be highly impor-
tant in determining the immediate
future course Of the negotiations for
an agreement to replace the expiring
Washington and London naval limita-
tions treaties.
japanese Visit Admiralty.
Before the regular session the Jap.
anese made an unannounced call on
the admiralty and talked privately
with experts for two hours.
Admiral Nagano, chief of the JAP
hnese delegation, made an effort to as
sure the British that British interests
in the Far East were in no danger
from Japan and that therefore British
opposition to the japanese demand fol-
equality was untenable on the ground
of vulnerability.
The talks were inconclusive, but
both sides expressed desire to make
every effort to avoid a deadlock.
France and Italy left the prelirni-
naries to the three big sea powers
Great Britain, the United States and
Japan-but both want the conference
to get down quickly to limitation of
individual tonnages and sizes OF guns
chiefly to tighten the burden of their
taxpayers.
Both nations, too, are convinced of
the futility of discussion Of modifica-
ton or prolongation of the Washing
ton treaty ratios for battle fleets, which
delegated France to a position Of in
feriority she is determined not to
approve again.
The French delegates are believed
desirous Of parity both with Germany
in the North Sea and Italy in the
Mediterranean. During the conference
they have maintained suspicious at
titude, dating from the conclusion
last June Of the nglo-Gernan naval
agreement, permitting German fleet
IS per cent of Great Britain's.
Italy, conference observers believed,
Is not likely to be overconciliatory in
view Of existing League of Nations
sanctions, which Dino Grand, chief
of the Fascist delegation, has hinted
would be taken into account at the
conference.

The amendments % the A. A. A.,
passed last August in an effort to
meet constitutional deficiencies indi-
Gated by the N. r. A. decision, will
come up for argument in the Supreme
Court today.
The original farm measure was de-
bated last week in a suit brought by
the Hoosac Mills Corp. of Massa-
chusettS.
The litigation set for argument this
afternoon was started by eight Louisi-
ana rice millerS. They sought an
injunction against paying the process
ing taxes the A. A. A. levies on them
to pay farmers for adjusting produc-
ton. Lower courts dismissed their
petition.
Before starting the arguments the
nine justices we're expected to an
nounce opinions in some Of the %
cases which have been argued.
Ruling Due In January.
A final ruling in the two A. A. A.
controversies is likely in January. A
Joint opinion is possible.
After the Supreme Court held
N. r. A. invalid last May Congress
amended the original farm act to
ratify certain acts by the Secretary
of Agriculture. This was to meet any
objections that the farm act consti-
tuted an invalid delegation Of
authority.
Another new provision requires pro-
cessors before recovering the taxes
paid in the event A. A. A. is upset,
TO prove they have not shifted the
levies TO farmers or consumers.
The rice millers contended that be-
cause Of the peculiar nature of their
business they could not prove this.
The Government replied that proof
was possible.
Pay, Then Sue, Millers Told.
"Pay first and litigate later" was
the Governments argument. The
lower courts held the millers should
pay the processing taxes and then
sue to recover.
On Thursday, the court will hear
arguments in the attack on the Ten
nessee Valley act by minority stock
holders Of the Alabama Power Co.
Another New Deal case, involving the
right of the Government to condemn
land at Louisville for a slum-clear-
ance project, will be argued early
next year.
But other important cases are en-
route here at fast pace. They in
volve the utilities holding company
bill, the Wagner labor act, the Guffey
coal bill and the revised Frazier
Lemke farm mortgage moratorium.
