DRASTIC CHAIN
STORE ACT TO
Be TEMPERED
Two Committees of Con-
greSS Prepare to Modify
Provisions.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, March "a
House and Senate Judiciary COM
mittees prepared today to temper
the drastic "anti-chain store" bill
sponsored by Senator Robinson Cd.
Ark and Rep. Patman Cd. Tex).
The House committee was ready
to report favorably a modified ver-
sion of the Patman bill, continuing
the prohibitions of the original
draft against undue quantity dis
counts on goods and against pseudo
advertising and brokerage allow
ances, but eliminating the provision
for triple-damage suits.
Strong sentiment is apparent in
the House for some such legisla-
ton.
In the Senate, where the Robin
son bill has been favorably reported,
the Judiciary Committee. appar-
emily smarting under criticism that
no hearings were held on it, opened
two-day hearing on two modified
bills, one introduced by Senators
Borah (R., Ida) and VanNuys Cd,
Ind, and the other by Senator
Copeland Cd, N. ".

Stores of America. Inc. a trade as
ISOLATION which has been most criti-
cal of the Robinson Patman bill,
described the two new Senate bills
as designed to prevent monopoly
and the lessening of competition
without destroying long recognized
and beneficial business practices"

IMMEDIATE WAR
UNLIKELY, LOCAL
TEACHERS TOLD
Accident May Start Conflict,
Dr.. Ethan Cotton Says
in Talk.

Immediate war is not likely in
Europe, says DR.. Ethan Cotton,
world traveller and author, but world
peace may be at the mercy of an
unforeseeable, unpreventable acct
dent.
Speaking last night at Caleb Mills
Hall before the Federation of In
dianapolis Public School Teachers,
DR.. Cotton stressed the fact that the
time has come for the United States
to wake to the realization that it is
impossible to remain unaffected by
the actions of European nations.
1.-THE French shout security and
the Germans yell for equality" DR..
Cotton said, land the Numerically
opposed desires of these two feudist
nations is one of the major reasons
why a war cloud hangs like pail
over Europe. Much of Germany
recent activity-rearmanient, mill
tarization of the Rhineland-iS JUS
titled because of the raw deal she
got in the Versailles treaty.
March Was No Surprise
ct was utterly fantastic to expect
e5,000,000 Germans not to arm
themselves and not to occupy then
beloved Rhineland. Not many Eu.
ropean statesmen were surprised
when Hitler marched into the de-
militarized zone"
The Ethiopian-Italian war prob
ably will end in a compromise, DR.
Cotton stated. Mussolini will be per-
mitted to hold some of the country
but the Ethiopian emperor will re-
tain his sovereignty, and England
will see that her interests around
the headwaters of the Nile are pro-
tected.
French peasants will not go out
of their own country to fight, the
speaker said. The youth of Ger
many, Poland and Italy believe that
all the grave European problems
can be settled by compromise, he
said.
DR.. Cotton urged that the United
States, remaining outside the
League, exert its influence toward g
peaceful settlement of European
problems.

Four Die in Tornado

By United Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo, March "a
Dust storms, a tornado and snow
storms swept parts of the Midwest
and today left behind destruction in
the wake of the first two and hopes
for a wheat crop in the snow area.
Four persons lost their lives
when tornado whipped along a So
mile path in south central Missouri
late yesterday. Houses were de-
stroyed at Niangua, in which section
Miss Ruby Keesling, Bert Sell and
Mrs. Jess Elmore were killed.
Henry Elmore, 40, woodchopper,
was fatally injured when his home
near Oakland collapsed. The absence
of Elmore's wife and seven children
probably saved their lives.
Over Kansas, western Missouri
and vast prairie stretches to the
west and south a pail of dust was
whipped up by high winds. The
storm was the worst since those of
last April, when highway traffic was
halted and trains were stalled.
The high winds, however, seemed
to have served double purpose in
clearing the air after first filling it
with the dust. Today the skies we're
comparatively free of the fine silt
and the weather bureau prediction
for possible rains held the hopes of
farmers who need moisture for their
wheat.
The snow fell in southeastern
Colorado and western Kansas, heart
of the "dust bowl" In this area,
where a moisture deficiency has
existed for years, the heaviest snow
of the year started falling late yes
terday. The snow was heavy and
wet, and farmers believed it would
be sufficient to settle the dust and
wet down their fields.
As the clouds drifted northeast

Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY VIM. E. M'KENNEY

American Bridge League Secretary
HAVE you ever sat opposite one
Il Il of those no trump slam bid
ders, wondering how big a set you
might be forced to take with him
as partner? Of course, occa-
sionally the optimistic bidding CT
such player will produce a good
score.
Today's hand was played re-
Gently in rubber game at the
Mayfair Bridge Club of New York.
> You hardly can blame North for
getting into some kind of slam,
as his diamond bid over one club
is slam demand; then when
South bid two hearts and later
showed a long club suit by his
jump to four clubs, North could
hardly be criticised for his leap
to seven no trump. At least, that
was a sure way of getting there.
To make the contract, however,
a nice squeeze play had to be en-
ployed.
