LONDON, Jan. 11.—(ZP>—Author-
iative sources said todav the next
meeting of the International Naval
Conference, which is epected to re-
consider Japan’s demand for naval
equality with all nations, probably
will not bet held until Tuesday.
Ailthough the reason for the ex-
pected postponement of the session
scheduled originally for Monday was
not given in these quarters, it was
understood the move was an at-
tempt to give delegates more time
for further contacts before the next
meeting, when the conference gen-
erally is expected to break. down
unless some compromise is found.
Despite the reported plan to re-
sume consideration of Japan’s re-
suest for parity, the other powers
were not expected to be. willing to
grant such equality.

The recapture of the important
town of Makale by the Ethiopians
was unconfirmedly rumored in Ad-
dis Ababa today, but government
officials said they had no knowl-
edge of it.
Makale has been held by the Ital-
ians since the completion of their
second major offensive in Northern
Ethiopia.
A communique issued from Ital-
ian headquarters at or near Makale
said the Ethiopians had suffered
heavy losses and had fled to the
mountains when they were trapped
by an Italian flank movement south
of Makale.
At Rome, the government claim-
ed a victory in which the Ethiopians
suffered heavily at the confluence |
of the Gabat and Gheva Rivers.
Italian infantry, artillery and
planes were reported to have united
in the engagement, in which three
Italian officers and three native
soldiers were killed and five natives
wounded.
HAVANA, Jan. 11.—(ZP)—Miguel
Mariano Gomez, coalition candidate
and one-time exile to the United
States, assumed tJie lead today in
returns from the Republic of Cuba’s
election of a constitutional presi-
dent.
So sure of victory was the form-
er mayor of Havana that he an-
nounced his presidential program,
calling for restoration of “cordiali-
ty within the Cuban family” and
closer ties to the United States un-
der his administration.
Counter-currents of confusion and
conflicting claims arose, however,
while the tellers made slow prog-
ress through the nearly two mil-
lion, votes cast yesterday in nation-
al elections, marked by scattered
violence in which at least two per-
sons died.

States, had been called from the
West Coast to attend the farm con-
ference summoned^ by Secretary
Wallace to discuss new plans in
the light of AAA’s death.
Tolldy, now director of the Gian-
ninni foundation in California, be-
'gan last spring a regional planning
and soil conservation study which
was described as the most import-
ant in the history of the nation.
Until last October he was assist-
ant AAA administrator.
The invitation to him was consid-
ered especially significant in view
of the fact that President Roosevelt
Secretary Wallace and AAA admin-
istrator Chester Davis have empha-
sized they consider it desirable to
proceed toward production control
through subsidized soil conserva-
tion.
Though nothing is considered set-
tled, word from the farmers’ meet-
ing indicated delegates were center-
oing on a soil ionservation plan to
be implemented with cash from the
government.
May Control Production
In view of several farmers at-
tending the session, soil conserva-
tion might result in control of pro-
duction. For instance, they said, a
farmer might retire a percentage of
his land from commercial crops and
plant it to soil-building legumes,
receiving government, money for so
doing. The result, advocates say,
would be controlled production of
commercial crops and sustained
Prices for them.
Administrator Davis has said that
he personally prefers a composite
soil conservation program, plus
some form of domestic allotment
plan to provide immediate cash aid
to farmers. Experts say that under
a domestic allotment plan, the gov-
ernment might fix quotas on por-
tions of crops to be old for domes-
tic consumption. Farmers might
then receive subsidies on these quo-
tas.

All”—a series of articles by
Dr. Condon purporting to of-
fer new details of the case,
including his belief that
Hauptmann had a confeder-
ate.
The governor said he
wnuld ask Attorney Gener-
al David T. Wilentz, who di-
rected the. Hauptmann pros-
ecution at Flemington, to
seek Condon’S arrest.
“Condon makes the flat state-
ment that more than one person
was involved in the plan,” the gov-
ernor said. “He goes so far as to
write he knew two of those involv-
ed. If Dr. Condon knows these
things I feel the authorities should
have the information.”
Wilentz, who was attending a
conference of the prosecution staff,
said he had not been informed by
the governor he would be requested
! to take Condon into custody, and
“would not anticipate what the
governor will do.”
Many Curious Gather
The entrance of the New Jersey
state house was ringed with a crowd
of curious, with news reel movie
cameras mounted on trucks sweep-
ing the scene, as the hour for the
meeting of the pardon court near-
ed. The court convened under the
.presidency of the governor in his
outer office. The deliberations were
secret.
What effect the governor’s re-
quest for the detention of Condon
may have upon Hautpmann’s fate
was not immediately ascertainable.
It seemed unlikely that Dr. Con-
don, who paid the $50,000 ransom
for Col. Lindbergh’s baby to a man
—identified as Hauptmann—in a
Bronx cemetery, could return here
before next. Friday, which is the
date set for Hauptmann’s execution.
This was interpreted by some to-
day to indicate that Hauptmann
would at least receive a reprieve un-
til Condon can answer the gover-
nor’s question, especially in view
of the following statement of Gov.
Hoffman:

Some few years back the Record-
Chronicle force was surprised to
learn that one Denton woman had
saved a complete year’s file of the
Daily issues. A year’s file had been
destroyed, so the matter was men-
tioned in the paper. Mrs. F. M.
Price brought to this office the
numbers missing. But now comes
a sure-enough story on a Denton
woman’s keeping copies of the Rec-
ord-Chronicle. Mrs. Hill Rowe has
kept a daily file of the paper since
1907 and has given them to the Li-
brary of Teachers College. The sav-
ed copies started in 1907 and Mrs.
Rowe has continued, placing a paper
in the file each day. The Daily was
started in 1903, and Mrs. Rowe, four
years later, started saving the is-
sues. For an individual to keep files
of a newspaper for 28 years, is cer-
tainly news, and we are mighty glad
to know that they will be available
to Denton County people for his-
torical data. In fact, the file con-
tains papers that even the Record-
Chronicle lost during a fire some
several years ago.
Dr. J. L. Kingsbury, head of the
Historical Department, expressed
great satisfaction and -pleasure over
the present to the College from
Mrs. Rowe. “We’ll have them bound
in book form, so as to make them
accessible for our use and the peo-
ple’s,” he said, “and you may rest
assured that they will be protected
as they will be placed in a steel
vault.”.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.— (AP)—Senate leaders
were negotiating in strictest secrecy today in an effort to
work out a substitute for the cash bonus bill that swept
through the House yesterday. Their aim was a measure
that President Roosevelt might sign.
Little hint of the trend of the negotiations came from
those involved, but.the^promise of a statement Monday in-
dicated that an agreement was not far off.
Chips in the game of give and
take were the nine votes by which
the Senate last year sustained
President Roosevelt’s veto of the
Patman cash bonus bill. Adminis-
tration leaders were using those
votes to force some concessions in
the fiat cash payment bill which
the House passed yesterday 356,59.
On the other hand, bonus lead-
ers were trying to negotiate an ar-
rangement which would win over
enough of those senators to pass a
bill over the president’s veto, if his
consent to something in the nature
of a cash payment could not be ob-
tained.
Chairman Harrison announced) Ithe
Senate finance committee would
meet Monday to begin considera-
tion of the bonus bill passed by the
House. Here the measure will meet
its most serious congressional hur-
dle.
The finance committee has always
been more conservative than the
Senate itself, which in turn has
been less friendly to the bonus than
the House.
Would Curtail Payment
Last year the finance committee
approved the Harrison compromise
for partial payment of the bonus,
but the Senate rejected its recom-
mendation and passed the Patman
bill. Regardless of the outcome of
the current .negotiations, leaders
expect the finance committee to re-
port something short of full cash
payment. .
The basis of the compromise ne-
gotiations is the Byrnes-Steiwer
bill, which would cash the bonus in
1938 or give 98 per cent cash this
spring. Administration spokesmen
were understood to be asking for a
bond payment play, which would
lessen the drain on the treasury.
The bonds would be cashable, but
the veterans would be encouraged
to hold them by an interest ar-
rangement.
Senator Robinson, Democratic
leader, and Harrison were nego-
tiating for the administration.
Their contact with the bonus lead-
ers was through Senator Byrnes
(D-SC) usually an administration
stalwart, but a full cash payment
advocate.
In response to rumors that the
Texas and Pacific Railway contem-
plated discontinuance of its pas-

day that inasmuch as the trains
had not been earning their way,
the railroad had made some inves-
tigations into the feasibility of sub-
stituting a bus arrangement to han-
dle the traffic involved, but conclu-
sion has been reached to discon-
tinue further consideration of the
subject.

Already police departments of
Dallas and Fort Worth have noted
an increase in the number of crim-
inals from the East and North.
Some simply came down for their
annual winter vacation from the
frozen north and others intend
staying through the summer, if the
pickings are good.
Denton is close enough to Dallas
and Fort Worth to receive the at-
tention of these crooks who are
kept out of the larger cities by the
larger police force, but Denton of-
ficers no doubt will give plenty of
trouble to those who believe they’ll
find easy picking here. Already
Denton merchants have reported,
an increase in suspicious charac-
ters, short change artists, sellers of
fraudulent advertising or others
with questionable schemes that
should place everyone on guard.
