WASHINGTON, July 16. (UP)
Navy officials pressed prepare

John S. Farnsworth, former navy
officer accused of selling navy Sc
crets to Japanese government
agents, in belief that evidence
against him will prove existence
of a spy plot of possibly unguess-

Investigations into Farnsworth's
record and activities expanded un-
til they assumed the aspects of
a countrywide spy hunt unparal-
leled since the World war. Admi-
raj William H. Standby, chief of
naval operations and acting sec
rotary of the navy, expressed con-
fidence that Farnsworth had ac-

Officials said they had suffi-

BY STEWART BROWN

devising a new peace plan for
Europe.
After frenzied throngs joyous

of Nations sanctions heard II
Duce berate sanctionists nations,
it was revealed he hopes to keep
Europe from separating into two
camps.
If the international situation
permits, Mussolini will retire
Monday to his castle at Rocca
Della Camminate to polish off
project designed to bring an at
mosphere of peace rather than
tension threatening war to the
continent.
The project will furnish a for

Germany, Italy and France. 1t

of hierarchy of great European
