BEAUTY KILLS
FRIEND, SELF

DENV YER, March IA GN.SD.
Gertrude G. Schloredt, 25, comely
beauty operator, shot and killed
her closest friend, Tudie Slater,
%, and herself in the room they
shared at a local hotel early today.
Both girls we're graduates of the
Moorcroft, Wyo., High School.
They had come to Denver several
years ago, studied and worked at
their trade together.
Detective Sergt. William j. Fine,
in charge of the investigation, said
they we're absolutely without an
explanation of the bizarre killing.
Friends told of the warm affec-
ton the two girls had for one an
other. Tudie, they said, some
times seemed to fear her older
companion.

Virlyn B. Moore, failed to answer
the question of who is the legally
constituted treasurer of the State.

Instead. the ruling ordered both
George B. Hamilton, who was
ouSted as State treasurer by Gov.
Eugene Talmadge when he failed
to fall in line with the Governors
plan to operate the State without
an appropriation act, and j. B.
"Tobe" Daniel, appointed in Ham
ilton's stead, to file bills of inter
pleader within 10 days, setting
forth their claims to the office.
A hearing then will be held and
a ruling handed down on the ques-
ton of which man is the legal
treasurer.
Pending this ruling, both Ham
ilton and Daniel were enjoined by
the court from paying out or caus-
ing to be paid out any State funds
now on deposit in the four banks,
or funds from any source, except
on lawful appropriations or allo-
cations.
The court further instructed
that should any question arise as
to what constitutes lawful appro-
priationS or allocationS the prln-
cipals in the case must apply to
the court for detailed instructions.
Must Give Up Bonds
The court further ordered Ham
ilton to place into custody of the
court within five days a list of all
State bonds and securities held in
the Federal Reserve Bank here.
Hamilton announced after his
custer that he had removed the
bonds and securities from the
treasury vaults in order to protect
the State repositories.
The courts ruling today was
seen as a partial victory for the de-
posed Hamilton, for in his cross
petition he had asked the court en-
ioin Daniel from the disbursement
of State funds not authorized by
voted appropriations.
In the minority opinion, the
senior judge, John D. HumphrleS'
upheld the course of action by GOV
ernor Talmadge and held that his
appointed treasurer, Daniel, Is the
lawful occupant of that office.

Three Powers Condemn
GERMANY at League Meet

LONDON, March IA Q.N.SO
Opening a united verbal attack on
Germany by her old ALI e d
enemies, Foreign Minister An
thony Eden today told a tense
meeting of the League of Nations
council that Germany's breach OF
treaties was "incontestable" and
he called upon the council to
deal with the situation"
Foreign Minister Flandin OF
France invoked application Of in
ternational law" against Ger
many, and said "it will be the
business of the guarantors Brit,
ain and italy, to furnish France
and Belgium with the assistance
provided for in the Locarno
treaty"
Charging that Articles 2 ode
militarizing the Rhine on both
sides) and 8 (forbidding nullifica
ton Of the pact by one power)
had been violated by Germany
Flandin then launched into a far
more aggressive speech tn n
Eden'S. He said:
German troops in the Rhine
land are not, as first declared,
d few symbolic detachments,'
but large forces of more than
10000 regular soldiers"
The tall, broad-Shouldered
French statesman said France
had mot so much used a right
as obeyed a duty" in calling at
tention to Germany's violation
He said:
"The text of the Treaty of LO-
carnO authorized my govern
ment to take urgently decisive
measures, but France, anxious
not to add any element Of trOu-
bic to the European situation,
has voluntarily abStained, thus
giving full meaning to the re-
spect it observes and hopes to see
observed by everybody for inter
national law as the basic re-
source for the maintenance Of
peace"
History of Negotiations
Flandin then recounted the his
tory Of Franco-German negotia
The Washington times., 1936-03-14

tions over the Franco-Soviet Pact
signature of which, Germany
charged, violated the Locarno
Treaty and automatically null
lifted it. He said:
Despite my own declaration
that France would accept arbi-
tration of the Hague Court,
the German government has
not sought to use this prOce-
dure, nor did it seek q COM
mon discussion of the problem
in a meeting of the signatOry
powers of LOcarnO.
'It preferred to declare void
a treaty which ReichSfuehrer
Hitler has many times recOg.
nized as being freely negOti.
ated."
Flandin reiterated that France
is still willing to have The Hague
court arbitra e whether the
France-RuSSian pact is incompat
ible with Locarno, and proceeded
But Germany has not only
repudiated LOcarnO.
There is q qualified viola
ton of Article 43 rhine de-
militariZatiOn) Of the treaty Of
VerSailles-a violation which
Article Al characterizes as q
hostile act.
I'm asking that that viola
tiOn should be borne witness to,
France therefore simply invOkes
application Of the law.
"Once this evidence has been
borne witness to, it will be the
business Of the guarantOrs to
furnish France and Belgium
with the assistance provided
for in the treaty"
General Peace Involved
Flandin pointed out that he
was addressing himself especially
to the ten members of the council
who are nonsignatories Of Lo
carno. He said:
"It is a question of the inter
ests of general peace and 1 can
say of the existence of the
League of Nations itself.
"It is a matter of knowing if
the practice of producing a 'fait
accOmpli'-if unilateral reDudia-
ton of treaties freely and SOL
emnly accepted, is going to be
put up with in Europe as a
political syStem-if treaties shall
be considered at any moment
to be Immediately mOdifiable at
the wish of their SignatOrieS-
and if a government can in the
exercise of its powers annul to-
day that to which it subscribed
yesterday"
Flandin concluded, however
without a definite call for mill
tary action:
81 ask the council to bear wit
ness to the breach by Germany
of Article 43 of the treaty Of
Versailles, and to ask the Secre-
tary general to advise the sigma
tory powers of LOcarnO of it in
conformity with Article 4 Of the
Treaty.
"This notification will put the
guarantOr governments in a posi-
ton to fulfill their obligations
of assistance.
"FOr it's part, the council will
have to examine how it will be
able to reinforce this action by
recommendations which it would
address to members of the
League"
Eden Amplifies Views
Eden said in his address thai
in the view of Britain and thC
other signatories of the LocarnC
pact, which Germany denounced
"a patent and inconteStabl'
breach of the provisions of the
treaty of Versailles relating to thu
demilitarized (Rhineland zone
and the treaty of Locarno ha!
been committed. He added:
"If this conclusion is shared,
it will be for the council to deal
with the situation and endeavOr
to find a solution of the Difficult

HITLER HASTE
IS CENSURED
BY FLAND|N
Ruling as to Legality
Of Soviet Treaty
Is Invited
Continued from Page y

inviting Germany to attend its
meetings, beginning Monday.
o BY asking the Reich to partici.
pate, the council reopened the
door for Germany to return to
1.-The League, and revealed wide
chances for establishment of
security on a continent which had
- almost deSpaired of avoiding war.
:. The councils invitation to Ger
4many constitutes an amazing vic
tory for Foreign Minister Anthony
Eden, of Great Britain, who, ap,
parently, succeeded in perSuading
France to abandon her demand
that Hitler withdraw his troops
from the Rhineland before France
would consent to negotiate over
his sweeping offer of new peace
pactS.
Sensation Of Meeting
- The sudden consent Of the
French to invite Germany was the
sensation of the councils meeting
today, because, until this morning,
France resolutely refused to talk
with Germany as long as Reich
troops were in the Rhineland.
70 The question now asked is what
did England promise France to in
"duce her to change?
). The only answer suggested is a
1"secret military alliance" if a sat
isfactory general settlement fails
to eventuate.
Deep desire of the council tC
have Germany accept was shown
:, in the fact the council rejected an
5original suggestion to make the in
.yitation under article XVII Of the
League covenant, and decided tc
invite the Reich as a Signatory Of
the Locarno Treaty.
Accepted as Equal
The invitation was couched in
terms calculated to make it clear
ito Germany she has been asked on
"a basis of perfect equality, the
effort being to prevent Hitler from
feeling he is called as the accused
before court of justice.
Not a single member Of the
council objected to the invitation
- Nevertheless it was agreed the
invitation should not prejudice
ANY action the council may event
ually deem proper in the event the
hoped-for peace and reconstruc
tion of Europe's treaties should
fail to result.
Hopes were raised that there
; might develop a great interna
tional conference to lay broad
! foundations for a new structure Of
peace treaties with German par
ticipation in the Council meeting
Chance for Hitler
This, Hitler has declared, is his
dearest wish. Both before and
after coming to power he constant
ly has asserted his desire to be
instrumental in calling an interna'
tional conference to create a
worldwide treaty to replace the
Versailles pact on the basis OF
freely-given signatures.
It is now felt to be possibility
that he may see the chance of his
lifetime and that he might even
make the gesture the British
begged him to make to reconcile
France and Belgium to with
draw German troops from the
Rhineland at least during negotia'
tionS,

CITY BUILT
FOR SCOUTS
AT CAPITAL

WASHINGTCN.-Construction OF
a new American city within the
national capital has started here.
1t will house thousands of Boy
Scouts from every state who will
hold their nationol scout jamboree
next June 30 to July 9. Headed by
Harvey A. Gorden, national direc-
tor of engineering. the scouts own
engineering service is ousy making
preliminary plans and surveys.
The federal government is lend
ing the scouts some $50 acres of its
property on both sides OF the Poto-
mac river. nearly all within view OF
the capitol, the Washington Mon
ument AMI the Lincoln Memorial.
Presiden. Roosevelt is expected TO
participate in the opening cere-
mony.
Each troop is bringing its own
tentage and the Jamboree VIII be a
show of camping methods used
throughout America.
To visualize the extent OF the
work just begun. one might imagine
the Jambcree grounds as a. city
comprising % small villages. Each
village" will house a sectional
camp of "a Jamporee troops each
having 80 scouts ami three leaders.
Together with the sectional leaders
each village" will house l,260 per-
sons.
The "Jamboree City will be con-
nected with the outside world thru
a 15-trunk- switchboard at the
general headquarters. Eighty lines
from this board will connect the
sectional camps as an internal
communication artery every hour OF
the day. General headquarters viii
contain a main post office. main
hospital and ambulance staff ano
telegraph offices for ordinary tele-
grams and press dispatches. Many
newspapers will be represented b1
asout correspondents and the scouts
themselves will publish dali!

The iarnboree will be financed b,

that prime COWS and calves are
TO be given the same claSsiSifica-
ton. The Extension Service OF
the University OF California Col
lege of Agriculture has just been
advised of the details Of the new
federal program for COW testing
work, ana is prepared to extend
all necessary cooperation.
The program involves first the
permanent identification OF AMI
mas in herds that are in COW test
ing or dairy herd improvement as
sociation work through an ear
tagging system. A special type OF
ear tag is being manufactured for
this purpose and is being distri-
buteo through the dairy specialists
OF the different states. A record
IS kept OF the number of the tag
together with the age OF the ami
NAL in question. The sire and dam
are also listed.
As calves are born into the herd
from month to month they are
tagged i'll order that their ancss-
Try may be definitely known in
the yearS to come. AS these AMI
mails come OF milking age, the
identification number. with tn
record Of production, is noted on
blank forms specially provided for
this purpose. Those forms, which
also later include the production
records of the animals, are sent
to the Bureau OF Dairy Industry
IN Washington, d. c., where per
manent record is kept.
In addition to this service, a set
OF permanent herd record sheets
are provided SO that complete life
time records can be maintained on
all animals in the herd. This pro-
gram will be of great value in pro-
viding for more rounded, better
balanced program OF dairy improve
ment.

 Great Britain, far from withdrawing its armed strength from the Mediterranean area, is concentrat- ing and more troops in Egypt The British naval contingent in the Eastern Mediterranean is reported to have been reduced but that appears to be inspired by the same caution that has led to an even larger fleet concentration at Gibraltar and nearby. The French also increasing their naval forces in the inland sea, well their armies near the Italian frontier.
 All this is being done because both Powers fear a quick Italian to attack the British feet-a ges ture of supreme defiance by dictator who dares not admit illustration in his African adventure for fear of losing power at home. It is commonly said and with some basis in fact that this tense situation has been created by the League of Nations in its effort to impose sanctions Italy.
 This is one way to put it. But one might better consider what the situation would be today if Itays war on Ethiopia were proceeding in the absence of League of Nations Brtain's interests would be mo- less menaced.
