Pleas Voiced for Peace:
Three Senators Return, View Crisis in Europe

Three United States Senators,
returning from Europe's troubled
scene to spend Christmas in their
peaceful native land, spoke out
with varying degrees of caution
yesterday on the outlook for war.
All three went abroad on private
trips.
Senator Tydings of Maryland
declared that war seemed not un-
likely" within the next few years.
Senator Reynolds of North caro-
lima warned that the United
States foreign trade would suffer

declared.
Senator Lewis, of Illinois, urged
that the United States strive for
peace through conference and
conciliation, and that adequate de-
lenses for the country be assured.
Senator Reynolds suggested
that England give to the United
States a 50-mile corridor between
this country and Alaska, for the
building OF a highway, in part
payment of its war debt as q
friendly gesture.

GIRL HEROINE

Because she braved the fangs

a heroine today.
She is Roselle Bolton, daughter
of DR.. and Mrs. Robert M. Bolton

sister, Edith, five years old, and
their pet terrier, Spot" near
their home, the girls saw a chow

lacking other dogs.
Roselle returned home with
Spot, and when she went back to
join her sister, found the chow
had knocked Edith down and was
biting her on the face.
Roselle grabbed the chow by the
collar. 1t snapped at her arm,
wounding her, whereupon the girl
threw her arms around the dogs
neck, and held it until two post.
men came to the rescue.
The postmen were bitten, too
but subdued the dog. They are

block of Seward So. S. E., and Will
bur Gaynor, %, of the 700 block
of Park Rd. N. w. They were

BUDGET HEARING

Collins Says Army Bill

Even If recommendations for the
1910 District of Columbia budget
are submitted by the Budget Bu-
reau to the next Congress at the
time it convenes, it may be late
in March before hearings are con-
Quoted by the House District Ap-
propriationS subcommittee.
This was revealed today by Rep
reSentative Ross A. Collins CD
of Mississippi, chairman of the
subcommittee, who explained a
War Department appropriations
bill may take precedence over the
District of Columbia measure.
ARMY MEASURE AHEAD
Three members of his subcom-
mittee of the House Appropriations
Committee also are members OF
a subcommittee on War Depart
ment appropriations, Collins said,
and hence cannot conduct hear
ings on the local bill until the
Army measure is out of the way.
Collins said he had no word as
yet from the Budget Bureau on
the time when the agency will
submit it's recommendations
From other sources it was learned
the recommendations may reach
the House about the time Con
gress meets early this month.
WORKING IN SECRET
At present Budget Bureau Off

d. G. Divorces
Drop in '38

For the first time in many
years the District divorce total is
expected to show a decline from
the level for the previous year
according to word that has
reached here from the University
of Chicago.
The Chicagoans have found
that the average rate of divorces
all over the country is 1893 per
l, 900 persons and in the District
it is considerably less-1.5 per
l 900 to be exact. Whether this
is due to the unusual increase in
District population under the New
Deal or whether life in the Ma,
tional Capital is becoming more
conducive to domestic harmony
the Chicago research does not dis
close.

SHOOTING ADMITTED
The journey home from Cleve-
land took them past the Case
farm where stood dozens of ever
greens. After cutting the top
from one and starting toward
their antiquated auto, Rousseau
and his wife were fired upon.
Case, in Lorain county Jail at
Elyria, freely admitted the shoot

With long gray hair and a

He said complaints to the

decided to stand guard with his
