Honor the
Palics
By Flora Macdonald
Seven-league boots
wouldn't enable one


wouldn't enable one
to take in all the parties
which, are on the calendar
for this afternoon. Indeed it
is a severe disappointment to
have to curtail plans to at
tend even one of the events,
each so interesting for some
special reason.
Foremost is the reception
from 5 until 7 today which
the Minister of Finland and
Nine. Jarnefelt are giving
for the members Of the
Helsinski University Chorus,
which appears tomorrow in
concert at Constitution Hall.
Going to Detroit
The present tour of this
chorus has met with a great
ovation in each of the cities
visited. From Washington
they will journey on to De-
troit and cities in the middle
and far West.
After the reeeption the
American Fins have planned
a dance to be held in honor
of the so members of the
chorus tonight at the Lee
House. Mr.. John Fl. Savoline
is general chairman for this
event. Tomorrow the Min
lister and Nine. Jarnefelt will
be hosts at a buffet luncheon
at the legation for the
visitors.
The middle Of next week the
JarnefeltS will be off for a fort
nights visit in Florida, dividing
their time between Palm Beach
and Miami.
Another Of the pleasant par
ties scheduled for today is the
"at home" to be given by Nine.
Pastoriza, wife Of the Minister
Of the Dominican Republic.
She and her husband are de-
lightful hosts and there Is q
very special reason for the
gathering today. It is their
wedding anniversary and the oc-
casion calls for a fitting cele-
bration. They have endeared
themselves to all who have met
them in the Capital, and many
more years of welded happiness
will be wished them by their
host of friends.
FAREWELL PARTIES
There will be a tinge Of sad
ness at still another party for
1t is a farewell cocktail gather
ing for the Attache of the
Czecheslovakian Legation and
Nine. Palic, popular younger
members of the diplomatic set.
The Palics are leaving soon for
Paris, where he will be the First
Secretary of the Czech Lega-
ton. The hostesseS this after.

ter. has planned a tea for them
when the guests will include the
members of the legation staff.
They will motor to New York
the following day and sail on
Friday aboard the Lafayette
for their new post in France.
Mime. Palic is an American who
has visited abroad several times,
but this is the first time she has
gone to Europe with the knowl-
edge that it was to be her home
for some time. She and Mr..

Although MT. Thoms and MT. Hanigan arrived shortly after 200 o'clock and remained until 4:30. there is certainty that neither was questioned by the jury, and that both will be recalled.
 Although the local administration is Democratic, the Republican party leaders appear to be the principal witnesses questioned by Special Prosecutor Alcorn and the grand jury. The list includes such g. O. D. leaders as MT. Willard, Charles E.. Williamson of Darien: Harry Mac- kenzie of Bethel; and J. Frederick Baker of New Haven, who like W.T. lard has been called by both Con- necticut juries.
 Wanted Here
 Reliable sources said yesterday that Borgnais is hospitalized in New York, despite his wife's nisistence that he has sailed for Europe. MT. Alcorn declined to discuss the ques- ton of Borgnais' whereabouts. AS the auditor who had most familiar ity with the city's books, Borgnais is wanted as a witness by the Grand Jury. He is associated with the

defeated Germany to prevent the reich from expanding into central Europe, but the vigor of Hitler's preliminary attack has increased belief that return of the Sudeten Germans might be more than 8 bargaining threat.
 Such a move by the reich would result immediately in similar claims by Poland and Hungary for return of their minority populations and would threaten dismemberment of Czechoslovakia.
 The full implications of the Czech crisis, however, probably will not be manifest until after Hitler's visit early in May to Premier Benito Mussolini at Rome. On that visit Great Britain's new realistic" pro- gram of friendly agreements with the European dictator bloc in an ef- fort to break the Rome Berlin part nership may get its first test-and the result may decide the manner and the time of Nazi action in the east.
 Britain, France Working
 Meantime, Britain and France worked to strengthen their position in the European diplomatic maneu- vers, with the French government facing the necessity of definite decision in regard to its pledges to protect the Czechs. French Premier Edouard Daladier will go to Lon- don for important conversations in which the theme will be military cooperation.
 Czech Government Determined
 Prague, Czechoslovakia, April 26 -(UP)-The government has de- cided to proceed with preparation of its comprehensive reform plan for treatment of minorities despite the demands of Konrad Henlein, German minority leader, that it adopt his program, 1t was said to- day in well informed quarters.
 Government circles were frankly resentful that Henlein by implica- ton had rejected the government program even before he knew what 1t contained, and it was added that the government did not consider, in any circumstances, the abandon ment of its alliances with France and Russia as demanded by the German Nazi minority leader.
 Henlein Is Told
 It was said further that as re- gards Henlein's claim of the right

GREAT BRITAIN,
 IRELAND AGREE

land annuities dispute by $50,0o0,- 900 down payment by Ireland this year, and scrapping of trade war penal tariffs by both sides.
 3. A broad three-year trade agree ment under which Britain will ad- init vastly increased amount of Ireland's agricultural products while Ireland gives Britain advantages in manufactured goods and coal.
 The defense section Of the agree ment provided that British troops will be withdrawn from the treaty ports, Bere Haven, Lough Swilly and Cobh, before December 3l, after which Ireland will be responsible for their defense as well as the de- fense of the entire Fire coastline and territorial waters.
 Irish sources indicated this inev- itably would mean considerable increase in Ireland's defense pro- gram with the possibility of a new navy. Details of the transfer of the treaty ports are subject to discus- sion within the next few months. Although there were no broad de- fense provisions, 1t was learned au- thoritatively that the two countries had reached tacit understanding for close military, naval and aerial cooperation. DeValera also reiter- ated that Ireland never would per- init her territory to be used as a base for attacks upon Britain.
 Financial Section
 The brief financial section pro- vided that Ireland pay Britain be- fore November 30. $50.00.000 as "fi- nal settlement of all financial claims of either of the two governments against the other, arising out of matters occurring before the date of the agreement" This settled the dispute over Ireland'S refusal to pay land annuities to absentee British landlords.
 Ireland, however, will pay Britain $1 ,250. 900 a year until 1887 for prop erty damaged during the Anglo Irish war of 1920-1921.
 The negotiations for an actual defense agreement were deadlocked by the partition problem. Although DeValera was disappointed over his inability to obtain 8 united Ireland. 1t was learned that he hoped the new agreement would be prelude to a further one settling the parti- ton issue and creating a final set- clement of all differences between the Irish and the British.
 Field Glasses Come Back
 London. April 26-(UP)-Prime Minister Ramon DeValera returned to Dublin today with the pair of field glasses surrendered to British officers as military equipment in l9l6 at the end of the Easter week rebellion.
 The officer who took the glasses from the Irish Republican army commandant recently sent them to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain asking that they be given to DeVal- era as gesture signifying improved British-Irish relations.

(COnClnueQ rom rage U supplies of wheat, whale oil and sugar to ensure that stocks in this country should be maintained at @ level sufficient for the needs of the civil population in the early months of an emergency"
 Legislation will be introduced shortly, he said, and supplement tary estimate made to cover the cost of buying up wheat, whale oil and sugar.
 Simon announced the income tax law would be amended in certain respects, with clauses dealing with avoidance of company stamp duties and death duties.
 He scathingly attacked tax dodg- CTS, saying substantial sums may be involved and one mans escape puts an additional burden on others"
 He added that If necessary. the tax dodging measures would be made retroactive.
 Loss Is Mentioned
 Turning to the forthcoming years estimates, Simon said he expected customs excises to increase, al- though there would be a loss of $20 0,000,000 under the British-Irish trade agreement. However, under the same agreement, Fire will pay the British treasury $50000,o00 in liquidation of land annuities and other claims.)
 Simon estimated for the forth coming year total revenue of f914,- 100000 t$4,572,0o0,o00) leaving a gap of f30,000000 ($l50, ,000,00O) to be filled.
 "The prospect deficit is due to re- armament" he said.
 Must Make Loans
 Simon warned that there would be substantial supplementary esti- mates for defense later in the year to be met by loans.
 The peak year of defense will not be reached until next year or per- haps the year after," he declared.
 The house broke into an ovation when he added earnestly:
 Nothing would contribute so much to the ultimate reduction of this burden of re-armament as an increase in international good will"
 Taxes Jump High
 Chancellor of the exchequer, in formed the British taxpayer that an increased basic income tax of 27 1-2 per cent must be deducted from his earnings to raise a budget calling for the expenditure of more than $5,000, 100000, chancellor an- nounced that the basic income tax rate would be increased to five shill- ings sixpence in the pound, com- pared to the present rate of five shillings.
 The tax is higher than at any time during the World War, al- though from 1919 to 1922, to meet postwar burdens, the tax was six shillings, or 30 per cent. The chancellor also announced an increase of twopence -four cents) per pound in the duty on tea and an increase on the gasoline tax of one penny (tw ocents) to ninepence (18 cents) gallon.

to practice NaZiSrn, in the German manner, the government was will ing to permit free application of Nazi policy only in such measure, as not to suppress other political groups. Henlein, 1t was said, would have to abandon any totalitarian ideas and recognize his movement as only one among others, with no claim to political monopoly. But informants said that, on the whole, Henleih,s program was so vague that 1t offered little field for im- mediate discussion.
 Cabinet ministers, after secret council yesterday, were said to feel that Henlein's demands insofar as he specified them were not accept able as a basis for negotiations. There was some belief that Hen- lein might not have spoken with the authority of high German Nazi leaders. It was said in semi -official circles that the recent attitude of Berlin officials toward Czechoslo- vakia had seemed cordial. Hence, the feeling seemed to be also that if the government proceeded with what it regarded as generous por- gram of concessions to the German minority, any trouble might be averted.
 It was announced that an official investigation had disproved a re- port that Czech frontier guards shot at Polish balloon along the border area-a matter that would have been calculated to cause more trou- ble for the government. Officials said that the balloon made forced landing in Czechoslovak territory and that the ballonists were given every aid.

(Continued from Page D east of the capital. Capture of this junction would insure domination of an area from which rapid prog ress might be made to another coastal point.
 At Cerrodelmonte, west of Aguilar De Alfambra, the Loyalists had built extensive Qualifications, includ- ing hundreds of machine gun nests and underground passages.
 They were forced to abandon these when the Nationalists began an outflanking movement. The ll7th and 118th Loyalist brigades were reported to have suffered such heavy losses in this region that they were withdrawn from the front lines.
 Improving weather enabled the Nationalists to renew their advance in the Aliaga- -Montalban sector on the Teruel front after repulsing all Loyalist counter attcaks.
 John De Gandt, United Press staff correspondent with the Ma tionalists, visited Aliaga an Mon- talban and reported that the Ma tionalists had gained one-fourth ot the ground they needed to strengthen their line starting far north on the Catalonian front and extending to the sea south Of the Ebro river.
 an Cnvapn TiloR
 They had taken BIO square miles in three days. They were but 30 miles southwest of Alcaniz, one of their first big objectives in their drive to the Mediterranean coast and 55 miles west of the sea.
 De Gardt reported that the Loyalists had been forced from po- sitions which they had held since the Alfambra river fighting in January, and that many of them were falling prisoner to the Nation alists because in the hilly country they could not retreat with their equipment.
 Loyalists today were preparing defense positions in the Sierra de Las Moratillas and Sierra de Gudar ranges of hills. De Gandt said, but the Nationalists believed they would have to retire because of the diffi- culty of supplying themselves from bases.
 Late yesterday the Nationalists took the villages of Camarillas and Aguilar, south and southwest of Aliaga, and cut the roads to Fl Pobo and Gudar.
 They were proceeding deliberately particularly cutting all roads to- wards the coast. Both prisoners and war materials were being caught in the pocket formed by the three column advance, it was indicated.
 De Gandt reported that the weather though improving per- mitted but limited advance. How ever, he added. airplanes were aid- ing the Nationalists.

AUTO INDUSTRY IN
 FAIR TRADE CODE
(continued from Page 1)

(Continued from Page D other members of the industry will express their views at today's con- ference. The commission then will draw up a code and enforce 1t.
 Formulation of a fair trade code coincided with commission plans for a sweeping investigation of rela- tions between automobile manufact- urers and dealers. This investigation was authorized by a resolution passed last month by Congress. Meanwhile, advocates of various schemes for lifting the nation out of the depression through junking used cars, set up headquarters and organized lobbying campaigns to get their plans approved by the conyen- tion.
 It was understood that the code would be similar to the one which governed the industry under the na- tional recovery administration with the exception that 1t would not undertake to fix prices. March said that the scope of the code would be sufficiently broad as to cover man. ufacturers, wholesalers, and retail CTS. He said that the intervention Of the federal trade commission in the automobile industry had been sought by the auto dealers association. "All we are interested in," he said, "1s to see that competition is fair and brutal obstacles to trade are elimin- ated."
 There appeared to be a majority among the dealers favoring a code, but there were a number of oppon- ents. s. w. McMichaels, secretary of the Michigan Automotive Trade Association, spoke for them in all- nouncing fight against 8 code. Tt smacks of government domination of the automobile business" he said. We don't want anything like that, and we don't need 8 code"
 March said that the automobile men manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers-would draw up the points of the code themselves and that the commission would add ad- ditional points for which the indus try felt a need. It would govern the relations of manufacturers with wholesalers and their relations with retailers, and the retailers relations with the public. The retailers have suggested, among others, these points for the code:-
 Prohibition of tampering with the speedometers of used cars, of mis- representation of prices mileage and other factors of automobile use in advertising, of dsparagement of competitors products. of false state- ments as to the general condition of used cars.
 The convention, representing ap- proximately 10000 dealers, was con- sidered almost certain to approve junking in principle, but there seem ed little likelihood that any speci- fic plan would be adopted. The leading plan is the one advocated by L. J. Epps, president of Consum- ers' Steel Products Corporation. He proposes the establishment of a "Used car salvage corporation" to be financed temporarily with a loan from the reconstruction finance corporation and permanently by contributions from manufacturers, dealers, and labor.
 More than 1900 dealers have written Epps protesting support and willingness to contribute two per cent of their payroll. Hundreds of parts manufacturers and others whose livelihood depends on pros- perity in the automobile industry have concurred.
