PARIS. Dec. TAT least one men,
ber of the French cabinet showed
emphatic displeasure with yester-
days conclusion of a war-renuncia-
ton pact between France and Ger
many, it became known today.
While Foreign Minister Georges
Bonnet of France and his German
colleague, Col. Joachim Won Ribben-
trop. were signing their mutual
frontier guarantee in the famous
Cloak Room of the foreign office, &C.
sar Campinchi, minister of the navy,
was refusing to associate with a
German.
M. Campfnchi made a scene at a
cabinet meeting yesterday morning
and then returned the invitation he
had received to the dinner rendered
by M. Bonnet in the evening in
celebration of the pact signature
M. Campinchi denounced the entire
Franco-German declaration as a
smoke screen"
Both Georges Mandel, minister OF
colonies, and Jean Zay, minister Of
education, were not invited to the
Bonnet dinner-nominally, because
their appearance was not considered
necessary to the protocol; practi-
cally, because M. Bonnet did not
wish to offend the Nazis by the pres
ence of two Jews.
The German Embassy, quick to
take advantage of this situation,
promptly added the names of the
cabinets two Jews to the list of
guests at its own function. AS, how
ever, these invitations arrived long
after those sent to other guests, M
Mandel, for his part, refused to at
tend.
Germany's attempt to obtain a
sort of French moral backing for its
pograms, at least, has failed, in the
opinion of certain circles here.

Seth w. Richardson, former As

United States, discussed "Our Con-
stitutional History and Future" at
the dinner which preceded the elec-

Warning that concentration OF
power in the hands of the Federal
Government was contrary to the
original theory of Federal Gov
ernment of powers limited strictly
by the Constitution, Mr.. Richardson
declared the United States stood
in the midst of crisis" at Gross
roads"
"A strong dominant Federal Gov
ernment with weak States and cur
tailment of individual rights can
not be harmonized with the con-
stitutional theory of Federal Gov
ernment of limited authority with
strong State governments, and the
fullest of individual rights in the
Citizen" he said.
I'VE must choose one way or
the other" he said, "and we cam
not choose something of each. Two
conflicting theories of government
are involved, and life for one means
death to the other" .

Jury Panel Of 100
Is Drawn for Canal
Espionage Trial
First Of Four Germans
Facing Prosecution
For Photographs
BY the Associated Press.

CRISTOBAL, Canal Zone, Dec. 7.
"A special panel of 100 jurors was
drawn today for the trial of Hans
Heinrich Shackow, employe of the
German Haphag-Lloyd Steamship
Line. on a charge Of photographing
fortifcations in the vital Panama
Canal Zone.
The 26-year-old defendant was
the first of four youthful Germans
to 60 on trial in Cristobal'S first
espionage case.
Jury Panel Of 100.
A defense motion for a continu-
ance was overruled at the opening
session. A second motion challeng-
ing the entire jury panel on grounds
of prejudice was made by Shackow's
counsel.
The motion charged bias, since
many of the jurors are Government
employees or live in Government
owned dwellings, and the Govern
ment is the party allegedly in
jured. Federal Judge Bunk Gard
ner took the motion under advise
ment.
Interest in the case was so great
that Canal Zone police were taking
stringent measures to prevent over
crowding of the small courtroom,
which seats 208.
Arrested October Is.

a 19-year-old German girl. Ingebord

Showing that these defendants

ing certain gun emplacements."

S.Housing Authority
To Wind Up Loans on
Low w-Rent Projects
Added Eormorkings of
$40, 900, 900 Tomorrow
To Exhaust Funds

Exactly one year from the day the
United States Housing Authority
made it's first earmarking of funds
for low-rent housing project, Ad-
ministrator Nathan Straus tomor-
row will allocate practically the last
dollar of the remaining amount
available for loans.
To date the U. S. H. A. has set
aside 10000, 900 for projects in 142
cities. including the District of Co
lumbia. Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Tomorrow additional earmarkings
of about $70,000000 will be an
nounced for projects in large num-
ber of municipalities. Fifteen new
cities are to be added to the list,
making 157 in all participating in the
Nationwide program.
There will also be announced
presidential approval of some $780,
100000 in contracts with various
cities.
Out of the 100000, 900 capital pro-
vided by Congress for the rehousing
program approximately $3.50, 900, 600
has been reserved for earmarking
The U. s. H. A. loans are for 80
per cent of the cost of the project,
the local community putting up the
remaining 10 per cent. That would
leave ordinarily $72O,O00,OOO which
the U. S. H. A. would loan.
A 10 per cent margin of safety
was figured into every contract and
earmarking, which reduced the
actual amount available for loans
to about $65O,OOO,OOO. No doubt,
after projects are completed, this
10 per cent margin of safety will
bring back into the fund con-
siderable amount for other loans,
but that prospect is at least year
distant.
The U. S. H. A. also contributes
312 per cent of the total cost of a
project in the form of Federal
subsidy to be applied in reducing
rents to social, rather than an
economic level.
The subsidy fund for this year is
$28 100000. Administrator Strauss
will have to appeal to Congress for
at least $31 100000 in subsidies, for
the next fiscal year, due to an error
of computation made when U. S.
H. A. funds were first made.
Congress had computed the sub
sidy on $72O,O0O,0O0, deducting the
10 per cent of the cost of projects
which local communities would
meet. The United States Housing
Act states, however, the subsidy
should not be in excess of the total
cost of project, including the 10
per cent local contribution.
