STRUCTURE OF
 MACON FAULTY,
 IS TESTIMONY
Techniciian Tells of Fail ure Repairs Were
 Being Made

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Feb. l6. The dirigible Macon narrowly escaped crashing into the U. s. s. Texas last April, an airship tech nician told the Naval Inquiry Court yesterday afternoon, because of the structural failure in the same part of the ship as the break which sent her to the bottom of the Pacific last Teusday.
 Lieut. Calvin M Bolster, member of the Macon's crew, made the statement and further said that on his recommendation, the Bureau of Aeronautics made an examination and ordered strengthening of the suspected girder but ruled the re- pair work should not be allowed to interfere with the dirigibles op- erating schedule.
 Lieut.. Bolster said the strength ening had not been completed when the Macon started on the last flight.
 Lieut.. Bolster said he felt flights in ordinary weather would not be unsafe but he said he would not have recommended another trans continental flight with the Macon in her condition.

Britain, France, Italy in Position to D m an d
 Peaceful Settlement

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Restoration of confidence by peaceful or force- full methods in order to restore prosperity, revealed as the single purpose of the Anglo French-Ital- ian agreement, is now focusing the attention of European diplomacy. The plan was originally conceived by Premier Ramsey Macdonald and Foreign Secretary John Simon.
 If Germany enters the scheme in a cooperative manner there is confidence of restoring the plan by taking the peaceful road. If she chooses to keep aloof Britain, Italy and France can form powerful combination of armed forces to as- sure peace until normal trade makes policemen's clubs unneces- sary.
 This authoritative explanation of the new European security system is now being pushed in many capi- tals of Europe.

RIDDEN STRIKES AT NEPOTISM IN
 PUBLIC OFFICE
Proposes Heavy Penalty for Officials Who
 Hire Relatives
BILL COVERS EVERY
 LEGAL SUBDIVISION
Measure Would L ab el as Misdemeanor Violation
 of Proposed Act

Sounding a clarion call against the practice of hiring relatives in public office. definitely known as nepotism, Senator Henry Roden yesterday introduced in the Terri- torial Senate a bill which, if en- acted into law, would mean jail or a heavy fine for offenders.
 Covering every legal subdivision of the Territory, the measure is one of the most drastic and far reaching to be introduced at this session. Under it's provision any public official who employs or calls- es to be employed relative would be guilty of misdemeanor.4 The penalty on conviction is fixed at not more than a year in the fed- eral jail or fine of not less than s250 or more than sl,000.
 Wide in Scope
 Revealing it's wide scope, the first part of the bill reads:
 Any executive, legislative, ju- dicial, ministerial or other officer of this Territory. or of any mu- nicipality. school district, road dis trict or other legal subdivision within this Territory, who appoints or votes for the appointment of any person related to him or 10 any other officer of this Territory, or of any municipality, school dis trict, road district or other legal subdivision thereof, by affinity or consanquinity, within the third de- gree, to any clerkship, office. po- sition, employment or duty, when the salary, wages, pay or compen- sation of such appointee is to be paid out of public funds or fees of office, is guilty of a misdemean- or involving official misconduct and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by fine of not less than S250 nor more than 1000, or by imprisonment in the federal jail not more than one year, and such officer making such appoint ment shall forfeit his office and be ineligible for appointment or election to such office for two years thereafter"
 Hits At Promises
 Going further it declares a mis- demeanor if the official appoints or furnishes employment to a per- son related to another executive when such appointment is made on agreeent or promise. Those of ficials drawing pay warrants also would be liable if they knew the person or persons thus being paid were relatives of officials.
 Also introduced in the Senate yesterday were bills providing for regulating law practice revising the present statute and one allow ing free medical supplies in con- nection with social diseases when the patient is unable to defray cost.

VERSAILLES TREATY DEAD

GENEVA, Feb. 16.-League of Nations circles here today took the view that the treaty of Versailles and other post war treaties may be considered virtually dead as the result of Germany's reply to the Franco-British security proposals. Geneva saw Germany, which it had hoped would participate in construction of a new Europe on the basis of perfect equality, ig- noring treaties and the League convention which was part of the Versailles treaty.
 Hope is seen in Germanys pos sible acceptance of the air part but Geneva thinks the Reich's aloof- ness toward the Eastern Locarno pact and the question of Austria $ independence signifies something else.

FRANCE DISAPPOINTED

PARIS, Feb. 16.-Keen disap- pointment at the German reply to the Franco-British security propos- als was expressed by French offi- cials today Public opinion and a united front by France and Brit ain is held to be imperative in the face of. what is regarded as plain attempt by Germany to split up the London security plan by ac- cepting the air pact as a bid for Britain'S favor.
 Silence in reply to inquiry on the subject of Germanys return to the League of Nations is seen as an indication that Germany considers the return to Geneva must be dependent upon the pre- vious settlement and other prob lens.
 Public opinion generally here is that it is to be regretted that Ger many rejected the opportunity to show conciliation.

BUSY WEEK ON CALENDAR FOR
 LEGISLATURE
Relief Issue Tn Senate Labor, Fish Regulation
 Before Lower House

With less than half of their CO., day session remaining the Terri torial lawmakers are slated to re- turn from the Pioneers Home visit at Sitka Monday to face a full and difficult calendar with many im- portant measures having place in next weeks deliberations.
 In the Senate relief holds the spotlight for Monday afternoon with the Walker bill scheduled to undergo considerable revision This measure, introduced by Senator N. R. Walker, proposes appropriat- ing $30,000 for relief and it's sponsor has told the Senate it is in line with the request of Harry Hopkins, Federal Relief Adminis- trator, that states and Territories share and share alike with the federal government in making up relief funds.
 Plan Amendments
 One of the first amendments to be offered will provide that in- corporated cities and towns share with the Territory in raising relief funds. Senator James Frawley has assured the Senate he will bring in such an amendment. There prob ably will be others.
 Introduction of the joint com- mittee liquor bills in both houses just before the weekend adjourn ment may have definite bearing on the relief legislation, many feel. One provision of the Territorial li- quor stores measure is that 90 per cent of the profits under the store system revert to cities and towns. Some observers have expressed the view that the liquor store bill and the relief proposal may correlate.
 Modification
 General opinion seems to pre- vail, however, that liquor legis- lation this session is going to be confined to some. minor modifica- tions in the present system such as taking liquor out Of grocery stores and other establishments and con- lining it strictly to liquor stores. Also tightening up on beer par Tor regulations probably will be urged on the Board of Liquor Con- trol.
 The House starts out the week Monday afternoon with two con- troversiai measures, the Nordale eight-hour day bill and the Hof- man graduated fish trap tax pro- posal Both have been the suh- jects of public hearings and much information has been gathered. However, stormy verbal session is forecast when the House mem bers thresh them out again.
