Intervention plan as a basis for
discussion.
Altogether 10 countries, includ-
ing the Baltic and Scandinavian
nations, accepted the British plan
as a basis for discussion.
Italian Ambassador Dino Grandi
expressed hope that the South
American republics would be in
duced to join the noninterven-
ton committee.
Want Notifications
Germany and Italy, through
their representatives, welcomed
the constructive nature" of the
compromise proposal, although
they will propose certain modifi-
cations. The concession, it is be-
lieved, will prevent collapse of the
nonintervention effort, aimed at
keeping the Spanish conflict with
in SPANS frontiers, was halted
for the time being at least. It also
is expected to stave off a show
down between Britain on one side
and Italy and Germany on the
other.
After the Italo- German accept
ance Of the British compromise
plan, the meeting adjourned until
this afternoon at the request of
French Ambassador Charles Cor
bin, who said he had not yet re-
ceived instructions from Paris.
France is believed opposed to
several provisions of the compro-
mise proposal, particularly one
granting belligerent rights to in
surgentS as well as loyaliSts in
Spain. Diplomatic circles were
keenly interested to see what Cor
bins instructions would be.
Soviet Russia was expected to
lead the most determined oppo-
sition, but even from Moscow flat
rejection of the plan was not ex-
pected at present.

DIR. Osserman, in announcing
the formulae for his obtundent,
both in paste and liquid form, told
the dentists:
II do not wish to give the i'm
preston that these ObtundentS
will replace nitrous oxide anal
gesia or local and block anesthe-
STA, but due to the safety and
lack of psychic reaction on the
patient, a proper place for them
will be found in our armamen-
tarium."
His statements Immediately
were discussed by other dentists,
some offering conservative praise,
others openly skeptical.

purse, coolly drove home to his
wife and officiated at a funeral
service the next day.
UnmOved By Confession
AS unruffled as he would read
a passage from his Bible, the
minister confessed:
Mrs. Kelly kept saying she
wanted to leave her husband
and family and I must go with
her. / couldn't shut her up.
She sort of showed me back
when 1 did not promise to go
away with her and then we both
fell down. Blood was stream
ing from her and covered me
and 1 took something, a dumb
bell, or a hammer, / think, and
struck her."
Actually, police said, it was a
large iron dumb-bell with which
he beat her to death.
The prosecutors said they
couldn't bulge the minister as he
denied the murder, until they led
before him Miss Myra Hanan, a
girl raised in the pastors home
she is now 36-and told him she
hac confessed he had handed her
Mrs. Kelly's $3.50 for safekeep-
ing.
Accused BY Girl
Parson Newton, who looks so
young and virile, had been the in
innate friend of Miss Hanan and
Mrs. Kelly, prosecutors said. He
has wife and two grown sons in
Paris. but all through the years
he was a Baptist minister in Mis-
souri, the Rev. Mr.. Newton was
attentive to both Maybelle and
Myra, prosecutors said.
Myra led 70 the pastors confeS-
sion of the murder when she went
to the sheriff and said:
REV. Newton told me he had
put away Mrs. Kelly. He said
she YES crazy and he had to do
it to protect himself and me-"
She then also told of his giving
her the 1880, which the slain
woman had drawn from the bank
in the belief the parson would run
away with her.
Not Afraid of Chair
In his confession, the minister
said of Mrs. Kelly, who is the
mother of two sons, one 10, the
other IA.
"She just kept chasing me.
You've got to 60 with me- she
kept telling me. / guess she
thought 1 was going away with
her. She just kept insisting on
it,"
The pastor said today without
the slightest sign of emotion:
"I'm going to plead guilty,
of course. Pm glad it's all over.
These women. :" HE stopped
and when pressed to continue,
he changed the subject.)
Il am not afraid to die. 1
have no fear of the electric
chair or of life in prison."

Time of PliOcene Era.
Pliocene is an era of geological
tire, which lasted seven million years,
and ended about one million years ago.
1t was followed by the Pleistocene, a
one-million-year period. In this Pleis-
tocene's rocks were found all the
human fossils and stone and other
tools announced or discussed at this
weeks conference.
Several of the finds indicated that
the real ancestor was in the Pliocene
rocks and possibly in Southern Asia
All the animals of the Ark have been
traced by their bones all the way back
through these seven million years of
Pllocene time. Man alone is missing
in that period.

CURB SUGGESTED
ON SCRAP EXPORTS
Some Steel Producers See
Injury to Domestic
Production.
By the Associated Press.


Officials reported yesterday that
foreign demand for American scrap
iron and steel has brought sugges-
tions that scrap exports be restricted.
They said some steel producers,
contending continued heavy scrap ex-
ports may pinch domestic steel pro-
duction, have sounded out adminis-
tration authorities on the advisability
of Government action.
The foreign demand for scrap,
which is used in fabricating new
steel, has increased partly as the
result of armament programs.
1t is cheaper for most foreign
countries to make their own steel
from scrap imported from the United
States than to buy the finished pro-
duct.
Authority Is Lacking.
Private inquiries to the State and
Commerce Departments regarding the
possibility of restrictive action have
elected answers that there is no au-
thority to control such exports at
present. The situation has been dis
cussed in congressional quarters, it
was said.
Persons favoring restrictions con-
tend heavy exports constitute an un-
warranted drain on this country's S
resources. Some others argue, how
ever, that they improve domestic
economy by sharpening demand for
newly-mined iron.
Broadening foreign demand for
scrap recently has tied up between
5000 and 1000 freight cars at port
railroad terminals.
With most outgoing ships fully
cargoed, exporters have been unable
to unload the cars, and, to prevent
a further traffic jam, railroads re-
Gently embargoed scrap shipments to
Atlantic and Gulf ports.
Applications Continue.
Rail authorities said yesterday there
appeared to be no let-up in appica-
tions for special permission TO ship
scrap. Under the embargo, Shipment
can be made only on specific author
ization from special traffic agents.
Commerce Department officials re-
ported a growing interest abroad in
this country's steel market.
Exports of steel ingots and bars
totaled 37,363,000 pounds in January,
a 10 per cent gain over the same
month year ago, and officials said
inquiries from prospective foreign pur-
chasers now are more numerous than
at any time in IS years.
They added that sales to Europe
have been checked to some extent by
higher steel prices here, but that
pent-up demand may bring an in
creasing volume Of foreign orders in
the next few months.
