The unfortunate men. one 10 and
the other 80. have piled their trades
as shoemaker and tailor for years ut

advanced, they became unable to
work at their skilled jobs. Facing
total loss of income, they appealed
to the board, were duly investigated
and were awarded small monthly
payments under the Federal old-age
pension program.
During the Summer. however,
state Attorney General Herbert
O'Conor was requested to rule on the
question: Can q Government reserva-
ton in Maryland be construed as part
Of the territory Of the State? Upon
his answer depended the validity Of
pension awards to applicants from
such reservations, since the old-age
pension laws require five years resi-.

DUBLIN, October 3.-Gen. Owen

Republican Army. called for 1000 vol

Ireland watched to see what re-

to raise the force II he can guarantee
fighting for the troops.
The whereabouts Of Gen. O'Duffv
remained a secret as did plans for
Irish assistance to the embattled Mad

Originally, it was understood. the
offer of troops was made to insurgent
commanders in Spain and the general
said then his forces would go into
action Ito combat communism. The
present enlistments, however. were re-
ported on behalf of the administration
of President Manuel Azana

One case involved group OF man.

supply steel tubing for the Grand
Coulee Dam reclamation project in
Washington State. The other con-
cerned bids for copper cable and wire
for transmission line on the North
Platte project in Nebraska.
Ickes said yesterday the cases were
somewhat different" than in some
cases of apparent collusive bidding in
the past"
In each of these cases" he said,
while most of the bids were identi-
cal, at least one bidder submitted
different and lower figures and con-
tracts are being awarded"
The North Platte contract was
awarded to the Nehring Electrical

seven offered the goods at delivered
cost price of $l6.5ol.51 and two 9TH
ers had identical bids Of $l6.506.16.
On the Grand Coulee contract the
M. B. Austin Co. of Chicago was the
successful bidder at sls.74l.s7. The
Austin company and the Triangle
Conduit Il Cable Co. OF Brooklyn both
submitted bids of 7,580.80 +. o. b.
Moundsville, w. Va, but Ickes ex-
planned that the difference in suaran-
teed weight of the goods had made
the Austin company's bid the lowest.
Ten bids were received for the steel
tubing, Ickes said, and seven were
identical with delivered cost OF
S22.0l322. These unsuccessful iden-
tical bids and those on the North

The outline of a treaty which would
pledge all Latin American nations TO
principles embraced In the United

forward tentatively by this Govern
ment for consideration by the Pan
American Peace Conference opening
at Buenos Aires on December /.
Circulated among Latin American
representatives here in the form Of
a memorandum for exchanges Of views
in advance of the parley, the draft
proposes to:

putes by peaceful means:
2. Bind them not to 60 to war with
out setting forth their reasons in for
NAL declarations or ultimatums;
3. Provide for embarsoes on muni-
tions and financial aid to warning ma
tions except where an American na-
ton is involved in war with q non.
American country;
4. Give neutras an opportunity TO
apply restrictions TO trade with
belligerents TO the extent deemed
appropriate in the interests Of peace:

Of many tentative suggestions and
counter proposals advanced infor-
mally by the 81 participating nations

ing peace was made prominent topic
on the formal conference agenda On
the recommendation of the United

sented not only this Governments
ideas. but composite Of views eX-
pressed by all nations which have
voiced opinions on the subject.
He declined to say how the orisi-
nal United States proposals had been
received.
Whatever neutrality steps may be
agreed upon at the conference, he
said, will be based, so far as this
Government is concerned, on its OBJ
