The 1000 delegates gave her a

"In the flush of victory over
specific gains, however, we must
not cease to respond to the gen.
eral challenge that still calls us
to further efforts and achieve

She declared that all through

injustice were steadily under

leading to the crash Of 1929" She
continued:

LONDON, Jan. 80 I.N.SO.
The peace of Europe was being
settled or unsettled today in a
series of conferences between
Britain's young foreign secretary.
Anthony Eden, and diplomatic
chieftains of Europe.
The negotiations are being
staged by Britain in an at
tempt to patch up zone agree
mentS which will establish her
as the instrument for balancing
the peace of Europe.
The attempted juggling act
was accompanied by offers Of
trades and promises among con-
ferring ministers. who : Led what
Britain has to offer in return.
Involves Five Nations
First, Eden, riveting the "mu.
tual support Gordon" around Italy
in the Mediterranean, called on
Prince Paul, chief regent of Jugo-
slavia, and then received the
Turkish ambassador and foreign
minister. The mutual support
agreement involves Britain,
France, Turkey, Greece, and Jugo-
Slavia.
Eden also saw the Albanian for
eign minister, and this part of the
negotiations was considered a pos
Sible poaching on Italian precincts,
since Albania has shown herself
friend to Italy ever since the Italo-
Ethiopian war began.
Eden tried to satisfy both
France and Germany regarding
Britain's position in the European
situation. He reaffirmed to both

tin Won Neurath of Germany and
Foreign Minister Pierre Etienne
Flandin Of France that Britain

Move to UnSeat Green
AS the convention entered its
third day today movement was
inaugurated to unSeat William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor. as the repre-
sentative of the miners union in
the federation.
Mr.. Green, a former miner, has
held a card in the union for many
years. He is now in Florida where
he attended the meeting Of the
executive council of the fedora
ton. He is scheduled to address
the convention and is expected to
make a caustic reply to his critics.
Resolution Asks Custer
The move to GUST Green came
in the form of resolution pre-
sented by the Fayette City, Pa,
local union, because of his attitude
against unionizing workers by in
duStrieS in the steel. automobile,
rubber, radio and other mass pro-
duction industries. The federation
favors unioniZation by crafts-not

ton began over the question of
autonomy. Delegates from So
called provision districts" urged
Self-government and the election
of their own officers rather than
continuing under officials ap-
pointed by Mr.. Lewis and his
executive board.
While the disSenters gained a
temporary victory, it appeared
likely they would go down to de-
feat on a roll call today.

SENATE SCANS
EXTENSION OF
NEUTRAL ACT
Plan to Keep Present
Law For One Year
Gaining Favor
International News Service

international News Service
A Senate resolution to extend
the present neutrality act one
year gained favor on Capitol Hill
today as the Administrators new
bill fell far behind schedule.
Senate and House leaders
evidenced a growing reluctance to
rush the controversial problem
onto the floor of either branch Of
Congress as time nears for expira-
ton of the temporary act, Febru-
airy 30.
They believe that should either
the House or Senate take up the
bill soon-and it is unlikely-de-
bate on the issue will extend far
beyond February 20, thus leaving
this nation without q neutrality
act for an indefinite period.
Pittman's Stand
Declining to predict when the
Administrators bill will be re-
ported to the Senate, Senator
Pittman CD of Nevada, chair
man of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons committee, said:
TN event there should be q
delay that would jeOpardiSe the
legislation / would ask for an
extension Of the present policy.
81 see no reason to anticipate
any such delay but in event 1t
occurs that would be the nat
ural thing to do"
A move 10 call the AdminiStra-
tion'S bill up in the House next
Tuesday was frowned upon by
leaders there who plan to devote
most of the week to appropria-
ton bills. No date was set.
In addition to the time element,
Q separate move for extension is
being led by Senator Thomas Cd
Of Utah, author Of the resolution
continuing the present policy.
Thomas and his supporters con.
tend it would be unwise to change
policy during the Italo- Ethiopian
conflict.
Many ask Hearing
Further possible delay doomed
In the Senate committee when
1t was revealed that several peace
organizations, lodges and societies
have applied to the committee
to express their views on the
question of neutrality. Most Of
them demand they be heard in
public. This, Pittman said,
would delay final action on the
bill several days.
This question will be decided
when the committee meets FRI
day and if the requests are re-
fused, it will get down to actual
consideration Of the bill next
Wednesday.
Yesterday the committee had
o four-hour discussion of the bill
with Edwin M. Borchard. profeS-
sor Of international law at Yale
University. He said the bill In
its present form "is more likely
to bring about than to prevent
war" He also read statement
from John Bassett Moore, for
merly a justice of The Hague
Court, condemning the bill as
an instrument Of war.

PARIS, Jan. 80 QN.S0.-An
assertion that France above all
desires security and peace was
voiced today by Premier Albert
Sarraut in his ministerial dec.
laration to the Chamber Of Depu-
ties. He said his policy was based
on maintenance Of peace through
respect for international under
takings and also upon develop
ment of collective security based
on principles of the League of
Nations. He declared:

deavOr automatically to favor

League" adding:
France hopes to find Ger
many in the forefront of the
countries imbued with peaceful
intentions"
Then, turning to international
affairs, Sarraut said:

VETS WIDOWS
ALREADY PAID
BONUS IN full
2l8 Millions Received
ByHeirs Of Dead
War Veterans
BY THE BONUS EDITOR

While discussion ragged today
over the methods by which the
Government will meet its baby
bond" bonus obligations, observ-
erS here pointed out that a prec-
edent has been established in
connection with adjusted-service-
certificates already paid in full.
The matured certificates are
those issued to veterans who have
died. Upon receiving word Of
deaths among holders of the certi-
ficates, it has been the practice
Of the Veterans Administration,
in cooperation with the Treasury
Department, to pay the full value
Of the certificate, by a Treasury
check to heirs designated by the
veterans.
Up to November 30 Of last year,
officials of the Veterans Admins
tration revealed today, 1882
certificates were retired by this
method. The amount Of money
represented was over $4,000, 000
about nine per cent Of the pres.
ent total outstanding indebted
ness.
Among congressional circles
there are some observers who
favor new taxes, or increases
in present levies, as a means of
raising the bonus money. Others
feel that the obligation can best
be met by Treasury borrowing.
The total number of adjusted
service-certificates issued, up to
last November, was 3,737,123 OF
these, 1882 have been paid in
full, leaving about 3,518,191 out
standing certificates representing
So, 464,9 $4,000. Since more than
three million certificates have
been pledged as collateral for
loans, however. the value of certi-
ficateS outstanding last November
was about $2,420, 900, 900.
An estimate made this month
by Representative Fred M. Vinson,
outstanding hacker of bonus legiS'
lation, places the total obligation
Of the Government today at
$2,542, $4,000.
Veterans desiring information
on the bonus are urged to write
The Bonus Editor. The Washing
ton Times, enclosing q stamped
self-addfeSsed envelope. A reply
will be promptly written and
mailed.
Among today's questions are:
l. Must / put my finger
prints on my baby bond ap-
plicatiOn?"
Answer: Yes. Failure to do so
will prevent your receipt of your
bonus until another application
properly filled out is sent in by
you. The only exceptions to this
rule are veterans with all fingers
missing. If any or all Of the
fingers of the right hand are
missing. use your left hand, and
state the fact under the finger,
prints.
2. "How can place my fin
gerprintS on my application
without a professional finger
printing OUTFIT"
Answer: An ordinary stamp
pad, such as is used for rubber
stamps, can be used satisfactorily
if the ink is dark enough and il
a proper impression of the finger
is made. Ordinary ink can also
be used, but you should expert
ment first on clean, white paper
like that on which the application
is printed before trying to place
the marks on the application
Printers ink is regarded as the
best ink by the Veterans Admins
tration, however.

together with questions and an

Homes Repaired

Winter Weather Makes Changes in Interiors
 Most Important

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The in terior of home becomes more im- portant during the Winter due to the enforced longer hours that the family must spend indoors. Part of a job om "modernizing for Winter" might we'll include the building of recreation room in the basement or attic. Funds for this type of work may be obtained under the Modernization Credit Plan of the Federal Housing Administration
 Other things that make a home more cheerful during the drab Winter months are bright new wall paper, freshly painted woodwork, an additional window to let in more light, extra electrical outlets, and more attractive lighting fixtures.
 Where there are small children and good southern exposure, the installation of special glass that will admit ultraviolet rays from the sun or a large additional window with such blass, is a good investment. Ordinary window glasse xucludes the beneficial ultra violet rays. A sun bath in the warmth of the chill drens nursery is an inexpensive way of combating some of the vitamin starvation of gray Winter days. Expenditures for such windows are eligible for a modernization loan.
