Conference on Refusal

Paris, Sept. g. (UP)-Anthony Eden, British foreign secretary, and Foreign Minister Won Delbos con- fer here tonight on the situation precipitated by the Italian German boycott of the Lake Geneva sub- marine conference, 1t was under stood today.
 Eden was expected to arrive at Le Bourget, the Paris airport, late today and to have dinner with Delbos.
 The foreign office received at lunch time the Italian and German notes rejecting the British-French invitation to attend the Lake Gen. eva conference.
 It was said here that the rajec- ton would make no difference as regards the conference-that Britain and France intended to hold 1t and

claim, will show the majority of New London, MiddleseX, Windhan. Tol- land and Fairfield Counties for Buckley. Then, they said, the vote will be made unanimous for Buck ley.
 The exact date on which vice chairman Katherine Byrne, Putnam, will call the meeting to select these new officers has not been decided upon although 1t will be near the end of this month.

introduces at the last moment new and grave element into a situation which cannot but modify the atti- tude of the Fascist government towards the proposed conference"
 Mussolini, in refusing the British French invitatoin, held that the in- ternational committee on non-inter- vention in the Spanish civil war was solely competent to deal with the present problem.
 Notes informing Britain and France of Mussolini's stand were handed to the British and French charges daffaires by Count Ga leazzo Ciano.
 British Hope Lost
 Great Britain had hoped to in- duce Mussolini to participate in the conference, unwilling to see a situation developing in which Italy might be arraigned as an absent de- fendant at the Lake Geneva con- ference. The result might be an anti-Italian and anti-Germany bloc, which Britain does not want.
 Mussolini's note, it was said, took the ground that, if non-Mediter- ranean Russia were invited to the submarine conference such nations as Poland and Portugal should be invited also.
 As regards Russia, whose gov ernment directly accused Italy of being the mysterious" power which has been torpedoing merchant ships in the interests of the Spanish Na- tionalists, there was an increasing prospect of 8 direct, formal break in relations.
 Ciano drafted a second curt re- jection to Russia's second angry note accusing Italy of torpedoing merchant ships.
 Radical Fascists
 More radical Fascists urged Mus solini to ignore the second Russian note, as a gesture of contempt, and to denounce the Italian-R Russian treaty of friendship of 1883. A break in relations would follow.
 Government and governmentally inspired newspapers sought to ease the present tension by placing on Russia full and sole responsibility for the impending Italian German boycott.
 It was emphasized that at the moment the first Russian note ar- rived Mussolini was considering favorably the British-French invi- tation, and initmated that in the interest of peace he would have &C., cepted 1t.

Hitler with Italy

Nuremberg, Germany, Sept. g. (UP)-Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, sup porting Italy, today refused an in- vitation to be represented at the Lake Geneva anti-submarine con- ference.
 Hitler, here with other Nazi lu- minaries for the annual national Socialist rally, conferred with Baron Konstantin von Neurath, his for eign minister, before making his de- cision, 1t was said.
 He had been disposed to attend but Premier Mussolinis decision tc boycott the conference because Rus sia denounced Italy as the officially mysterious submarine power, caused Hitler to abstain also in line with the "Berlin-rom axis" of diplo- matic cooperation.
 It was announced officially at Berlin that Germany's answer tc the British French invitation to at- tend the conference was handed tc the British and French charges d'affaires at the Berlin foreign office today.
 Refused Because of Russia
 Semi-o officially, 1t was said that the invitation was refused, as in Rome, on the ground of Russian provocation against Italy-the direci accusation that Italy was the pirate" submarine power.
 Germany's rejection of the British French invitation was phrased in friendly manner, 1t was said. It was known that Fuehrer Hitler acted reluctantly, feeling that he must support Mussoljni, who late this month is to be his guest, in keep ing with the current Italian German friendship.
 The note emphasized Germany's readiness to cooperate with other powers, 1t was said. But it added that in view of Russia's "provoca- ton" Italy and Germany felt that the Lake Geneva conference had nc chance of success and that 1t would be more useful to discuss the prob- lem before the London non-inter- vention committee. This was the Italian argument.

 The cabinet met today to approve final instructions for the strong French delegation, which includes the chief or naval staff and his sec ond deputy.
 SOviets May Protest
 Geneva, Sept. 9-(UP)-The So- viet government is considering @ protest to the League of Nations against alleged Italian attacks on Soviet ships in the Mediterranean and Aegean seas, according to re- ports here today which officials re- fused to discuss.
 The council opens Friday. Diplo- matic officials believed the protest would be made, particularly in view of Italy's rejection of the Soviet no- tiflcation on recent torpedoings and the fact that the council is sched- uled to consider a Spanish appeal charging Italy with at least five at- tacks on Loyalist vessels.

The facial treatment for girls of

treatment to remove blackheads, re

dry or too oily skin. 1t is however
very seldom that we have to treat

the skin is too dry we recommend
a light fabrication cream and when
too oily we use a light a~stringent
lotion which acts as a powder base.
The teen age miss seldom needs
a stimulating tonic or a vigorously
deep massage, because the skin Is
wrinkle free, well toned, full of
life and vitality. All it needs is an
extra thorough cleansing to re-
tain its normal condition. This
should be given every month or six

Gas is generally recognized as

Tt is the cleanest known fuel, has

w products of combustion that arc
found in other fuels. No storage

The fuel bill isrendered after the

the most adaptable fuel for auto

full heat instantly and can be re-

Handy Gets Praise
In n. Y. Daily

New York, Sept. % (C)-What
is rare in the metropolis happened
last Thursday when an editorial
appeared in the New York Herald
Tribune praising w. C. Handy for
his achievements as a composer.
The paper said:
"When Mr.. Handy, composer of
The st. Louis Blues was study
ing for the ministry many years
ago he ran out of money and went
to work on the levee so he could
go on. But the songs he heard
there so stirred his love of music
and his talent for it that he for
got one vocation and found an
other in which he made himself
heard around the world.
"His st. Louis Blues is one of
those few compositions of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the peo-
pie that conquer the public and
keep it conquered. 1t has subdued
popular fickleness for many rea-
sons, chief of them, no doubt, be-
ause its source and inspiration are

rs there a band or orchestra in

lewbrow, man, woman and child
giving in to Handy's masterpiece
of the blue note? The Spirit of
st. Louis and The ST. Louis Blues
have made America known and lik-
ed to an incalculable degree, and
the city that gave wings to both
has the sympathy of all Americans
when its pride in Handy's classic
prompts it to honor with a plaque
the composer-the musician of tai
emit who, with a few cents in his
jeans, scrubbed on the back of a
cigar box years ago a song of deep
and universal appeal that neverthe-
less belongs first and last to Am
erica, black, white and colored."

Soviet Note Snags
British Tory Plan

London, Sept. % Especial to
CNA)-A monkey wrench was
thrown into British plans recognize
Fascist Italy's Ethiopian empire
and to cover up Italian piracy in
the Mediterranean when the Soviet
Union, in a sharp note to Rome,
bluntly denounced the Fascist po-
wer as the pirate nation whose
submarines arc attacking merchant
men in the Mediterranean.
Although official quarters de-
clined to comment on reports from
Rome that Anglo-Italian soundings
had been made for British recogni-
ton of the legality of the rape
of Ethiopia, the belief gained ere
dence here that up to the minute.
the Soviet diplomatic bombshell ex-
ploded, the British government had
planned to include the Ethiopian
| question on the agenda of the "pi-
racyn conference, called by Britain
and France.
European statesmen have known
all along that the attacks, during
the past six weeks, on the ships of
various nations have been perpe-
| trated by Italian submarines aid
ing the Spanish fascist rebels. For
various reasons, however,they have
been reluctant to call Mu s%olini7s
hand: the French, because they are
still following Britian's lead in in
ternational affairs, the British, be
cause the Tory government favors
. Fascist regime in Spain and is
also seeking to effee1 n under
standing with Rome thlt would re-
move the Italian threat to the.

| ranean. In exchange for such an
understanding, the Tories are pre-
pared to recognize Italy's 4Ethio.
plan empire" and to continue the
"non-intervention" farce with re
gard to Spain, despite M~ussolini's
open admission that italian troops
are participating in rebel attacks on
