SHIP RATE WAR
PROBED BY U. S.

G.N.sJ A far-flung investiga,
tion Of q shipping rate war, al
legedly precipitated by operators
Of certain Japanese shipping COM
panieS, was begun today by the
United States Maritime Commits
sion.
Early this month the commits
sion subpoenaed the books, rec.
ords and correspondence Of the
Osaka Syosen Kabusiki in New
York City and of Williams. Dia-
mond & Co., o. s. K. agents in
San Francisco. In Seattle sub
poenas were served upon the
Yamashita Kisen Kabushiki Kai-
sha and its agents, Swayne &
Hoyt, in San Francisco.
The commissions investigation
Is directed primarily into Japanese
shipping activities in ocean trade
between South America and Pa
cific Coast ports Of the United
States.
It has been estimated that the
practices cited might result in a
loss Of at least $25,OOO a month
to one American-flag operator
alone.
Protests followed sudden, drastic
and allegedly unwarranted reduc-
tion in rates, particularly for trans
porting coffee from South Amer
lea to United States ports.

Time ON Vital Issue

LIMA. Peru. Dec. 81 1N.S0
Snagged by Argentine opposition
to the solidarity declaration pro
posed by the United states, the
Pan-American conference was
scheduled to hold it's third plenary
session today to approve the rela
lively few proposals upon which
final agreement has been reached
Meanwhile, the deadlock over
the solidarity declaration, which
would band the American repub-
lies together in the face of pos
sible outside aggression, retarded
progress of the entire conference.
SEEK COMPROMISE
In view of the situation, the va
rious committees had to confine
themselves to relatively unim-
portant matters while the United
States and other d e g a ons
sought a compromise on the soil
darity issue acceptable to Buenos
Aires.
Yesterday revised draft of the
proposed declaration was circu-
lated, but 1t failed to shake Ar
gentine resistance to any mention

He and other members of the

tending an agreement on the
solidarity issue will be reached
and that the American republics
will adopt a statement making it
clear they will unitedly oppose any
outside attempts at domination Of
the Western Hemisphere.
Meanwhile, a meeting of the
committee on organization Of
peace today was expected to re-
frain carefully from any subjects
which might precipitate a debate
on The solidarity question. It is
felt the time is not yet ripe to per-
NIT any general debate on the
issue, which many delegates con-
slider the most important facing

Specifically, the Gimp is ac-
cused Of attempting to murder
Alderman. kidnapping him and
Of violating the States deadly

Of attempting to murder the radio
singer and Edith Snyder, a daugh-
ter by a former marriage.
They had listened to IL days Of
trial, and had heard two versions
Of what took place in Alderman's
home that october night.
They heard Miss Etting, married
to the Gimp for II years before
divorcing him in Chicago last year,
testify that as she and her COM
panion Of many years, Edith
Snyder, were preparing dinner
for Alderman, they saw Alderman
and the Gimp enter the house, the
Gimp holding gun on Alderman.
HERDED INTO ROOM
The Gimp, she charged, herded
them all into one room and before
anyone could do anything. he fired
two shots, one Of them striking
Alderman in the abdomen and
wounding him critically.
Her testimony was corroborated
by Miss Snyder and Alderman, the
latter adding that the Gimp had
Kidnapped" him at the NBC stu
dio.
The Gimp admitted all Of these
things, but maintained he was
forced to shoot in Self-defense be-
cause Alderman started to pull a
gun as they all sat in the living
room where the Gimp was about
to begin his plea that Miss Etting
give up Alderman and return to

AROUSES SEC
Officials Feel Exchange
LET Them Down"
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM

UN.S0 A break In the friendly
relations between the New York
Stock Exchange and the Securities
and Exchange Commission i'm.
pended today as a result Of the
exchanges action in "pigeon-hol-
ing" the Governments report on
the Richard Whitney case.
In November, the SEC trans
mitted to the exchange leadership
its report on the Whitney scandal.
This report disclosed that a num-
Der Of well-known financial fig
ures who were aware Of Whitney's
peculations, refused to inform
either the exchange officials or
Federal authorities.
BELIEVED "LET DOWN"
Last week the board Of COVER
nors of the exchange voted q
to one to close the case against
the former exchange president
who now In serving a five-year
prison sentence for theft of Sc
curitieS.
The lone dissenter, Robert M.
Hutchins, president of Chicago
University, Immediately resigned
from the exchange board and &C
cused the exchange leadership Of
failing to Sttle the responsibility
failing to settle the responsibility

who failed 10 report their knowl'
edge.
In reliable quarters, it was
learned that the SEC members
are Of the view expressed by
Hutchins and the feeling prevails
IN the commission that the ex-
change has let the Government
down"
ACTION WAS EXPECTED
The commission and the ex.
change leadership have been
working In complete harmony
since the governing body Of the
SCOCA 1A1oA hCO "0S 1CNO6A4A1CA
shortly after Whitney was I'm
masked.
When the commission released
Its findings on the Whitney case,
it had hoped the exchange would
take some formal action against
those members who refused to
expose Whitney.
The commission purpoSely re-
Trained from suggesting any ac-
tlon against these individuals,
preferring to leave the matter to
the exchange. :.
SEC RESENTFUL. q
Informed observers reported
the commission would have been
satisfied if the exchange had
passed a resolution censuring the
conduct of the financiers men
toned in the Governments find
ings.
In failing to do anything more
about the matter, the exchange
has incurred the resentment Of
SEC members.
Commission members this week
have held several discussions on
the Whitney case and 1t is pos
Sible that the exchange board
will be formally upbraided by the
SEC.

that mark the English and that
has such an appeal for so many
travellers.
Weymouth is the most east
erly of the west country winter
resorts. Rich meadows roll
down to a blue sea, and there is
a charming little harbor. This
is the only resort not along the
Devon or Cornish coast, since it
is in Dorset. But despite this, it
is gaining in popularity and has
its own little band of faithful
who gather there each winter.
But most people prefer Paign-
ton or Torquay, and, in lesser
numbers, Dawlish.
Dawlish is Handicapped beauti-
fully, with gardens laid out on
either bank of a picturesque
river. The town itself is built
up around the gardens. Little
rustic bridges afford access
across the river. A short dis
tance away is Teignmouth,
which also is making a bid for
winter trade.
But it is Torquay that is the
pride Of the coast. It has really
de luxe hotels, perhaps as luxu-
rious as those on the continent.
It has a continental flavor
about it. It has avenues Dor.
dered with flower-bearing trees
and gardens of sub-tropical splen-
dor. It has fine villas on the
luxuriant slopes of its hills and
it has really lavish entertain
ment.

More than one discriminating
traveller, firing of the palms and
patios of Florida, the glitter and
empty lure of Monte Carlo,
Cannes or Nice, has made his
way to Paignton, Dawlish or
Torquay. And more than one
traveller has made his discovery
by going to Covent Garden in
London or talking to flower low
ers. For then he learns that
most Of the cut flowers and
plants offered in the shops come
from Cornwall and the Scilly
Islands, where they grow right
through the winter.
PERFECT CLIMATE
The flowers that decorate the
Christmas scene throughout
England have been rushed by
plane and train to London, the
traveller is told. And then he
reflects that it can't be magic,
it must be sui and a perfect
climate that produces such
beauty in the winter. So then
come inquiries an! he learns of
the winter resorts along the
southern end of the west coast,
where he can enjoy the sun and
sub-tropical splendor. He makes
his voyage of discovery and so
becomes another addict of the
English Riviera.
Maybe Riviera" is a mis-
nomer, for there is nothing of
the feVerish gayety that marks
so many resorts along the Cote
d'Azure, although Torquay is
now staging battles of flowers"
and carnivals. And If there is
no hectic gayety, there is also
an absence Of the cold wind that
marks the twilight along the
Riviera.
OF course, though, the Riviera
has advantages that the English
Riviera can never hope to have
principally because it is Eng
lish.
WEYMOUTH POPULAR
There are no casinos, there
are no international celebrities,
the fetes and carnivals aren't
done with the skill, artistry and
abandon that marks the French
handling of such events. In
stead, there is the appeal of
luxuriant beauty combined with
a clinging to age-old traditions

Reckless Bus DriUers

In Dickens "Tale of Two
Cities" an unforgettable Incl
dent is related wherein the
coach and four of a nobleman
clatter through a village and
bowl over a child, killing her
and striking grief in the hearts
Of her kin and neighbors.
I was reminded, forcibly, Of
that tragic story when I Walked
across New York Avenue at
Thirteenth st. and New York
Ave. N. W., near your office.
Stepping with the green light
I proceeded across, almost but
not quite confident I was safe.
Suddenly one of those blunt
nosed Capitol Transit Company
buses darted toward me like q
great, unga1nly haWK. Terri
fled, I leaped away in the nick
of time.
What I want to know is: How
long are these busses going to
arrogsntly dominate our streetsP
Are folks of 1888 as unsafe on
their own tax paid for streets as
were the simple peasantry Of
personal---very. France? Just
because some bus driver is be-
ing ridden by his boss to keep
on schedule do we have con.
stantly to take our lives in our
