Hands OF, Germany
Hints to Paris in Note

PARIS, March Is (P).-Germany
notified France today of the Nazi
occupation of Bohemia and Mo-
ravia and by implication advised the
Paris government to keep its hands
of the Central European crisis.
A note from Berlin was delivered
at the foreign ministry informing
the French government of Ger
many's action and declaring that the
occupation was being carried out "in
full accord with the government Of
Prague"
In quarters close to the French
government this was interpreted to
mean that Germany and Frances
former o-Slovakia-had
settled accounts between themselves
and looked for no French interven-
ton.
French deputies and senators alike
called upon the Daladier government
to explain whether it would move to
counteract the growth of German
power resulting from the dislnem-
berment of Czecho-Slovakia.
The French Ambassador to Berlin
was expected to make inquiries there
but there was no official statement
as to what he would say.
The Chamber of Deputies Foreign
Affairs Committee had been sum-
moned by Foreign Minister Georges
Bonnet for this afternoon to dis
cuss a socialist proposal COR a dis

Carroll L. Beedy. attorney for Mr..
Stinson, asked: Didn't you say at
the bank on the day you signed the
trust fund that you wouldn't sign it
unless Mr.. Stinson married you?"
Mrs. Stinson did not recall this,
although she said she might have
said something of the kind"
Il was very fond of Mr.. Stinson
then" she added.
Did you ever know Miss Shoe
maker to do disloyal thing to
you?" the attorney asked.
| Not until all this transpired,
Mrs. Stinson replied
She Appeals to Court.
What transpired?" Mr.. Beedy
asked
"All these things" she said, and
when asked to be more explicit, she
turned to Justice Oscar R. Luhring
and said: What do l. say now,
judge? You answer for me-"
The court directed her to answer
the question If she could, but she
did not go into further detail.

Mrs. Stinson testified that she
financed various trips on which she
took Mr.. Stinson before their mar
riage. At one point in her
cross-examination Mrs. Stinson
turned to the Judge and contended
that Mr.. Beedy did not allow her
to explain anything. adding:
Nobody will understand me-"
Justice. Oscar H. Luhring said.
I'll understand you. And it doesn't
really matter if nobody else does"

Conflict Seen in Views.
After Mr.. Roosevelt outlined his
tax views some members of Con-
gress said his remarks appeared to
conflict with statements by Speaker
Bankhead and Senate Leader
Barkley.
Those two men have indicated a
belief little would be gained from re-
vlslng the corporation levies because
the aggregate tax load could not be
reduced. Just a few hours before
the Presidents press conference, in
fact, Speaker Bankhead had said he
expected no general revision this
year.
Opposes Vegetable Oil Tax.
Mr.. Roosevelt voiced strong oppo-
sition to a Senate proposal for an
import levy on vegetable oils, saying
1t would interfere with the reciprocal
trade program and would clear the
way for og-rolling revision of the
tariff laws.
Chairman Harrison of the Senate
Finance Committee indicated ne was
pleased with the Presidents state
ment.
Senator George, Democrat, OF

practical ways in which Congress
could aid business were tax revision
and reduction of Government spend

The principal recommendation Of
the 16 stock exchanges asked the S
E. c. to define what a spokesman
termed good and bad" manipu-
latlon and suggested that rules be
evolved over period of years re-
garding borderline cases.
In statement to the commits
sion. the exchanges said:
There is need for a clear defini-
ton OF what constitutes manipula-
ton or a fairly complete statement
of what is not regarded as such.
The mere fear of being accused,
with the resulting loss of business
reputation, or violating penal
statute so vague in it's terms that
no person may know or obtain clear
legal opinion as to whether his
contemplated acts will violate the
statute, deters men from perform
ing acts which are beneficial and
wholly in the public interest.
"At the same time, the vague
ness of the statute serves to make
it law which does not deter the
unscrupulous."
The recommendations were unani-
mously adopted by representatives
OF exchanges in the following cities:
Baltimore, Boston. New York,
NiiiNoSo, 1IildueIpIlld, OluClIlldtl,
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, st. Louis, De-
troit, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles,

Property Interests Seen Aided.
Mr.. Bernstein also complained
that the committee print" of the
tax bill as well as the proposed
draft of bill appended to the
report prepared by DR.. Chester B.
Pond, New York tax expert, con-
tains "a sweeping recommendation
for over all property tax limitation. "
ut should be noted. however" !"
said Mr.. Bernstein, that while the
tax report speaks of varying the
rate between $1.50 and SITS, the
proposed bill provides only for an
upper limit of S1.75.'

Nautical Crumbling IL
Recalled by Old Salt

Sailors love to grouse. declares
Sir Arthur Rostron, commodore OF
the Cunard fleet until his retire
ment, in his salty "reminiscences.
'iome FROM the Sea-" Then he
spins this yarn:
Once when in sail the skipper was
in the habit Of bringing his wife
along on voyages and she was al
ways full of compassion for the
poor fellows" before the mast. One
Sunday they came aft to see the
captain. The old complaint-bad
food, bad cooking. The captain said
he would look into it. He consulted
his wife. Under her gentle suasion
he decided to give the crew a treat
next Sunday.
This consisted of several tat
geese, the cooking Of which was SUI
perintended by the captains wife.
She and the cook did their best and
then sat down waiting for the ap-
plause. It did not eventuate. In
stead they heard q heated argument
going on forward. and one OF the
officers strolled that way to see
what was the matter. The men were
grumbling!
DO you think" cried one in dis
gust, '.they would have given Us
geese If they could have eaten them
themselves-us? Not likely!
Then there is the story about
skipper who was very keen on clean
liness on board ship. to the point OF
often being unreasonable and unfair.
One day, In walking round the ship.
he discovered some dust on small
ledge rather high up. Thinking that
he would teach the responsible ones
: sharp lesson. he placed . penny
there. The following day. on inspec-
ton he told the chief steward wnat
ST knew that ledge had been dirty
= long time" he added; 1T is never
attended to-"
With that. he reached up for ms
benny and drew down-two nan
