A young woman giving a Wash

day as they sought her three men
companions in connection with a
holdup there last night.
The girl, who said she was Har-

men who left her stranded in a
filling station there at 3 o'clock
this morning when a policeman
sought to question the group. The
men fled in an automobile bearing
District tags.
Police believe the same men
figured in a $3.50 holdup Of an

Representing virtual abandon

demand for parity, Secretary of

nounced that Undersecretary Of

ence, would sail for home on jan

MIR. Hun said Phillips depar-
ture would be in accord with his
original intention to remain in
London only a few weeks.
However, it was conceded in
authoritative quarters that if
there was any possibility Of get
ting an early satisfactory agree
ment, Phillips would have re-
manned in London.
Not Walking Out
Hull's statement that Phillips
had intended to sail at this time,
anyway, was viewed as an effort
to avoid any impression that he
was walking out on the confer.
ence.
The view has prevailed in Of
fetal quarters here for sometime
now that there was little use in
carrying on the conference in view
of Japan's refusal to discuss any
naval limitation or disarmament
proposals unless the United States
and Great Britain first agree to
recognize Japan's right to possess
a navy fully as powerful as either
the American or British fleet.
Both the American and Japa-
nese delegations have been known
to be DESTROYS Of leaving for their
respective homes, but none of the
delegations heretofore had been
willing to make the first move for
fear it would be shouldered with
responsibility for the breakdown
of the conference.
Logical Opportunity
The original announcement that
Phillips would spend only few
weeks in London was viewed, how
ever, as giving logical oppor-
tunity to leave.
In connection with reports that
the conference might not carry on
without the japanese, Secretary
Hull said he had not been in
formed by American Ambassador
Norman H. Davis, chief of the
American delegation, of any such
proposals being put forward.
Unless the japanese relent in
their demand for recognition of
parity as a prerequisite for any
discussion Of a new agreement, it
was considered likely here that

Veto Likely
Administration leaders insisted
the President would veto the bill
despite its Endorsement by the
American Legion, Veterans OF

Americans Veterans. They said
the President would approve a
bill, calling for issuance of new
"baby bonds" to the soldiers in
lieu of their bonus certificates
These bonds would be interest
bearing and redeemable at some
future date, but could be cashed
at their face value" at any
bank.
Three Administration stalwarts
Senators Joe T. Robinson, OF
Arkansas, Pat Harrison, Of Mis-

really is a good player, and I am

somebody trouble.
Bert Smith missed an ace by
inches last week while playing at
Hiawatha. His ball struck on the
green of the thirteenth hole, rolled
up to the pin and bounded a few
feet away. Too bad someone wasn't
there to get that pin-oh, well, it
isn't all of us who can even come
that close, so I see no need for
Bert to use the well-known crying
towel.
