which France will submit to the council will be that Germany and France both be required to agree in advance to abide by the Hague courts decision. For instance, if the court decides the Franco-Soviet pact of mutual assistance does not con- fiict with the Locarno treaty--which is the reason Germany advanced for denouncing the treaty-then Ger many will be obliged to evacuate the Rhineland. If the court decides the pact violates the Locarno treaty, France would be obliged to change the pact.
 The French plan provides that during the Hague courts considera- tion of the case, estimated at @ per- iod of about two months, France and Belgium would receive two guaran- tees, as follows:
 1. Military guarantees from Hit- Ter that the German forces in the Rhineland be withdrawn. This may possibly be modified to a guarantee that the troops be reduced to a minute symbolic" force which shall be called back from the actual bor- der.
 ?. The ot'' ' Locarno guarantors, Britain anG aly, shall give France and Belgium new mutual assistance guarantees against German aggres- sion.
 Other Alternative
 The only other alternative, from the French viewpoint, would be for the council to record formally that Germany had violated the Locarno and Versailles treaties and adjourn within 48 hours. The delegates would return to consult their own governments and reconvene at Gen. eva when the situation calls for it.
 Meanwhile, after hearing the league declaration of Hitler's treaty violation, France and Belgium would call the other Locarno powers into consultation to try to decide on @ common program to be submitted to the council at Geneva.

VICTIM BACK

Having wandered over a route
which took him through several of
the major cities on the Eastern
seaboard, william H. Gentry,
a clerk in the Procurement Di-
vision of the Treasury Department,
is back once more with his family,
unaware of anything that has hap
pened to him since he left, last
April IS.
Mr.. Gentry, an amnesia victim,
was escorted to his home in the
1900 block Of Sixth st. S. W., by
a Providence (R. t. hospital at
tendant.
After his disappearance, he was
located in Boston where, after re-
ceiving hospital treatment in that
city, he again disappeared.
Mrs. Harmantina Gentry, his
wife, has been supporting herself
and their two small children
since her husbands departure.

LIGHT TO RULE
PEDESTRIANS

Workmen were installing special
signal lights today. on F Street at
Twelfth and Thirteenth SITS. N. W.,
preparing to experiment with
pedestrian control tomorrow.
The lights will contain an addi-
tional green or walk" light which
will flash on at times when only
pedestrian traffic will be allowed
to cross intersections.
A police detail will be on hand
to educate the public on the proper
manner Of crossing. The expert
ment viii be for educational pur-
poses only and no arrests will be
made, Assistant Traffic Director
M. o. Eldridge stated today.
Mr.. Eldridge said the provision
in the traffic regulations which
provides that pedestrians must
give the right of way to vehicles
properly moving on signals at con-
trolled intersections will not be en-
forced during the experiment.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer attempted last week to have
the District Commissioners ap-
prove a more rigid pedestrian con-
troll regulation for the dnwnt0wn

Minor Amendments
To Bill Offered at
House Hearing

Suggesting several relatively
minor amendments, representa-
tives of local druggist and phar-
macist organizations today joined
civic groups and District officials
in indorsing a bill proposing to
place the uniform narcotic act
in effect in the District.
Appearing before a House Dis
trict subcommittee, v. B. Norelli,
representing the District Associa-
ton of Retail Druggists and
Pharmacists, urged that local en-
forcement of the narcotic law be
placed in the hands of a board
of those familiar with the uses
and needs of narcotics, rather
than in the hands of the local
police.
He also proposed several other
amendments to the proposal,
which he declared would fit the
situation more adequately for the
public as we'll as the druggists.

He said there is livery little dope

The subcommittee members in

provision in the proposed District
law taking paregoric off the ex-

ARE PASSED
BY HOUSE
Repeal Of Red Rider
Not Taken Up for
Lack Of Time

Although unable to obtain suf-
ficient House time to have the
"red rider" repeal bill considered,
Representative Mary T. Norton
Cd, Of New Jersey, chairman Of
the House District Committee.
yesterday rushed three relatively
minor local pieces Of legislation
through the House.
It was the regular District day
in the House, but completion Of
the action on the deficiency ap-
preparation bill and time taken
in getting the Frazier Lemke
farm mortgage bill in position
for future action prevented the
District Committee from calling
up its measures until late in the
afternoon.
Realizing that there was not
sufficient time remaining to
make any substantial Roadway
on the "red rider" repeal meas
ure, and also aware that II op-
ponents of that proposal believed
she would call the repeal bill up
after others were disposed Of
they would employ dilatory tao
tics, Mrs. Norton announced that
she would not call the contro-
versial red measure UP, but de-
sired only to dispose Of the other
bills which her committee had re-
ported to date.
Traffic Bill Passed
The repeal bill will be conSid-
cred, however, May IS.
One Of the bills passed yeSterN
day would authorize the District
Commissioners to suspend or re.
woke the right Of any non-resi-
dent person to operate a motor
vehicle in the District for any
cause the city heads deem suf-
ficient. House action sent the
bill to the President, since the
Senate already has approved it.
Another of the bills dispoSes of
the boiler inspection office, the
last fee office in the District,
and substitutes a boiler inspec-
ton service in the engineer de-
partment of the city. Fees for in
Spection are to be fixed by the
Commissioners, com m enSurate
with the cost of the inspection.
This bill passed the Senate pre-
viously, but amendments inserted
by the House necesSitateS the pro-
poSal being returned to the Sen
ate for concurrence in the altera-
tionS.
BeautiCianS Bill Wins
The third bill receiving House
approval yesterday would provide
examinations and the registration
Of persons in the city engaging
in the occupation of beauty cul-
ture, including hairdressers, cos
metologists, cosmeticianS, beauti-
clans and beauty culturists.
Proponents Of the legislation
argue that these occupations are
highly technical and necessitate
skill, exact training and expe-
rience for the protection Of the
shops and the public.
