LONDON, March 10.-Rus-
STA officially informed Britain
today that the Soviet govern
ment is "resolutely opposed"
to negotiations with Germany
and the Soviets are ready
actively to participate in
any action decided upon at
Geneva"
Ivan Maiski, Soviet ambassador
visited the House of Commons and
delivered to Lord Cranborne an i'm
portant oral communication based
on instructions just received from
Moscow.
1t was learned that Vladimir Po-
temkin, Soviet ambassador to
France, meantime conveyed a
similar message to the French For
eign Office.
The Soviet communication was
believed to foreshadow a united
front at the League Council meet
ing of Russia, France, the Little
Entente-Rumania, Yugoslavia and
Czechoslovakia-Turkey and pos
sibly others, not only against Ger
many but against the British in
clination to compromise with Adolf

The Soviet stand, it was feared
here, might neutralize Britain's
efforts to win France and the others
over to a policy of Cancellation.
British leaders were concerned
and held various private consulta-
tons. King Edward VII was keep
ing in close touch with the sit
uation and earlier in the day re-
ceived Prime Minister Stanley Bald
win and Alfred Duff Cooper, sec
rotary for war, in separate audiences
at Buckingham Palace.
The Soviet attitude suggested that
Britain might be almost isolated at
Geneva If she persists in her desire
to negotiate with Germany.
1t was understood that Maiski
animated to Lord Cranborne that
opening negotia tons with Germany
would be like rewarding an agrees
sor and indicated that the Soviet
opinion was such move would be
& death blow to the League.

6-HOUR LIMIT
ON PARKING IS
STUDIED HERE
Board Approves Proposal
to Slash Time in All
Parts of City.

The Safety Board today approved
a proposed ordinance limiting park
ing time in all sections outside
downtown congested areas to six
hours.
The measure provides an hour and
a half limit in the district bounded
by st. Clair, Noble, South and West
SITS, with three exceptions.
On Market-St between Alabama
st and CapitOl-av, Meridian-St be-
tween Washington and GHOSTS and
on Monument Circle parking time
would be limited to 80 minutes.
The proposal, suggested by Chief
Morrissey, is to be redrafted by
the city legal department and prob
ably will be introduced at the
Council meeting Monday night.
The proposed ordinance is aimed
at motorists who park their autos
in residential neighborhoods at
night.
The board told statesmen for au-
tomato parking meters that such
devices would be illegal in Indian
apolis because taxpayers could not
be made to pay for parking on city
streets.

TAX REVISION UNLIKELY
Associated Retailers of
State to Hold Mass
Demonstration.
10000 MAY JOIN MARCH
Repeal Demand to Be Made
at StatehouSe Rally
Tomorrow.

Retailers protesting against
the gross income tax and
scheduled to stage a demon
stration tomorrow at the
Statehouse for the benefit of
the General Assembly special
session are unlikely to obtain
any public hearing on the
Jernegan gross income tax re-
peal bill.
Senator Ralph Jernegan (R., Mis-
hawakO, author of the repeal meas
ure, conferred today with Senator
Thurman Gottschalk 3D., Berne),
finance committee chairman and
state budget committee member,
about action on his bill.
He was told, Senator Jernegan
said, that the bill will not be brought
out of committee unless the social
security measures now being con-
sidered should require some new
financing, thus opening up the tax
question. Such step is extremely
unlikely, Senate leaders said.
10000 May Join March
Meanwhile, spokesman of the As
sociated Retailers of Indiana esti-
mated that as many as 10000 OBJ
jectors to the gross income tax law
may Join in tomorrow's scheduled
demonstration
L. F. Shuttleworth, association
managing director, said today that
the protestants are to meet at l to-
morrow at the Statehouse. Then
they are to reach decision as to
the best method Of carrying their
attack against the law to the legis-
latorS.
Mr.. Shuttleworth said he had nc
way of knowing how many would
assemble but indicated the number
would be large.
Statewide radio appeals were
made by retail leaders last night
for every merchant who could get
away to join the demonstrators.
Grocers, most active of the IA
groups constituting the association
in opposition to the gross income
law, are attempting to arrange a
conference with the Governor for
tomorrow afternoon, Mr.. Shuttle
worth said.
Hold Meeting in Corridors
Some inkling of what the legisla-
tors may expect occurred last night
when a delegation of about 100
grocers went to the Statehouse
and sought hearing during the
House Democrats caucus.
Denied admission the delegation
held an impromptu meeting in the
corridors. Walter j. Mercer. Indi-
annapolis Retail Meat and Grocers'
Association president and chairman
of the legislative committee, urged
attendance at tomorrow's demon
stration.

damaged property left in the wake
of freak tornado that twisted err

An accurate immediate check of

Damage was confined mostly to

Loss was estimated at $4,000.

FLANDIN, EDEN CLASH
Britain Seeks Negotiations
With Hitler on His
Peace Proposals.
By United Press

ny tHttfu fTt8
PARIS, March 10.-France
decided today to waive her
demand for military sanctions
against Germany and even,
on certain conditions, to with
draw her demand that Ger
man troops be withdrawn
from the Rhineland.
The adamant French attitude
veered suddenly today after con-
ference of the powers signatory to
the Locarno Treaty, which Germany
has denounced.
The change came while Capt. An
thony Eden, British foreign secre-
tary, was telephoning London, ad-
vising his government that Foreign
Minister Pierre Etienne Flandin of
France wanted economic and finan-
cial sanctions but not military ones.
Two Conditions Set Out
France decided to abandon her
demand for withdrawal of the
Rhineland troops on two conditions:
l. Germany must pledge not to
rebuild Notifications in the Rhine
land
2. Adolf Hitler must modify the
proposition he made in a speech on
March 81, 1885, to assure certain
guarantees for the future"
In the speech, Hitler outlined the
conditions under which Germany
could return to the League and
agree to European aerial defense
pact.
Flandin tried vainly, it was indi-
Gated today, to obtain British agree
ment to four-point program
against Germany which would en-
tail a virtual ultima5um to Adolf
Hitler to withdraw his Rhineland
troops and, if he refused, withdrawal
Of diplomatic representative from

Flandin, Eden at Odds
1t was indicated that the first
clash of opinion was between
Flandin and Eden on the question
first of penalties, secondly of seek
ing some way of taking advantage
of the seven-point peace program
which Hitler offered Germany's
neighbors when he sent troops into
the Rhineland.
Britain wants to negotiate with
Germany because it does not believe
that penalties are desirable or prac-
ticable.
