'WORLD PEACE
' MAY REST ON
BRITAIN, ITALY
Mussolini nd MacDonald
Meeting This Week Seen
of Vast Importance.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Brrippi*Howard Foreign Editor
WASHINGTON', March 17.—With
Furope an armed camp and in the
gup of a virulent epidemic of war
talk the Mussolint-MacDonaid
meeting at Rome this week-end ;s
regarded here as inevitably of world
importance.
The fate not only of disarma
ment, but of European peace, may
-'hinge upon the outcome.
II Italy and France can be in
duced to bury the hatchet, and sup
port Great Britain's dramatic bid
for arms reduction and limitation
at Geneva Thursday, the new Nazi-
Nationalist Germany either will
have to abandon her present war
like program and join the general
them'’, else find herself completely
isolated.
Fear Hitler’s Program
Mostly responsible for Europe’s
new war scare is the saber-rattling
of Nazi Chancellor Adolf Hitler. He
has demanded arms equality with
< France and the rest of Germany's
neighbors, otherwise Germany will
arm herscif to the teeth.
Thursday Premier MacDonald
sprang a compromise. He proposed
to allow Germany to double her
present standing army and other
concessions.
If Chancellor Hitler refuses the
prolTer of “justice and peace,” and
Italy and France stand by Great
Britain, Germany will find herself
once more hemmed in on all sides.
Thus the new-born balance of
pow’er in Europe is now at stffte.
On one side are Germany, Austria,
Hungary and Bulgaria. On the
■ other are France, Poland and the
Little Entente.
France Also “On Spot”
Britain and Italy still are on the
sidelines. If Premiers MacDonald j
and Mussolini now can agree, they |
can sway this balance of power, or :
at least pull Its teeth, at will.
France, therefore, as well as Ger- !
many, can be put on the spot at i
Rome, diplomatically speaking. !
France, in Premier MacDonald's i
new disarmament scheme, is called
upon to make concessions not only
to Germany, but to Italy for the
sake of peace.
If she refuses, he warned, not
only would the arms conference be
wrecked, but world peace as well.
With the general lines of Great
Britain's proposals, Washington to
day appeared in agreement.
THAT STRANGE RUMBLE?
BORAH LEARNS SPEECH
Writes It First; Then Memorizes It
—Aloud in Office.
By Timex Special
WASHINGTON, March 17. A
deep rumble came through the
cracks in the office door of Sen
ator William Edgar Borah. It
sounded somewhat like an air
plane motor, something like a loco
motive going up hill. It called for
investigation.
. It was revealed that the sen
ator himself was doing the rum
bling.
When Borah makes a speech, it
developed, he first writes it on a ;
piece of paper.
Then he memorizes it.
And to do that the senator has
found he must lock himself in his
office, take a sip of water and then
in stentorian tones read the speech
i aloud, loudly, and in machine gun
fashion.
All of which accounts for the
strange noises coming from the
dignified office of Senator Borah
of Idaho.
RADIO USED IN SURGERY
Physician Describes Operation to
i His Class in Amphitheater.
F.y Science Service
LOS ANGELES, March 17.—Radio
has found its way to the operating
room. A surgeon here, Dr. Rate C.
Chaffin, now wears a microphone
under his face mask while operating,
so that he may describe the opera
tion step by step to his students in j
the amphitheater.
His application of microphone, i
amplifier, and loud speaker to the j
teaching of surgery is reported in
the current issue of the American
Journal of Surgery.
DOG GIVES FIRE ALARM
Hat Terrier Warns Owner When
Log Drops Out of Fireplace.
By United I'rtst
KENNEWICK. Wash.. March 17.
—His name is Goofus. but he's not
so “Goofus” after all. The six
month-old rat terrier barked so
long and loudly here recently that
his owner. H. E. Oliver, came down
stairs to see what was the matter.
A log had rolled out of the fire
place on to the floor, and was burn
ing a goodly-sized hole. The fire
was put out, and Goofus was re
warded with a generous portion of
liver.

THE IXDIANAPOI.TS TIMES
FARMER TRUST
DIVIDENDS MAY
BE m SOON
Receiver Ralston Submits
Second Annual Report
to Judge Weir.
Payment of a “substantial divi
dend" to depositors of the defunct
Farmers Trust Company in the
near future is predicted by Boyd
M. Ralston, receiver, in a second
annual report filed today with
Superior Judge Ciarence E. Weir.
Since going into receivership May
4, 1931, the bank has earned a net
operating profit of $21,498, despite
shrinkage of more than $6,00,000 in
value of book assets in two years,
the report states.
Payment of the dividend, first in
prospect for depositors, depends of
sale of farm land held by the in
stitution in the central west.
Weir ordered copies of the report
sent to all depositors and creditors.
According to the report, total cash
revenue under the receivership was
$136,558, with expenses totaling
$115,459.
The $1,321,339 book value of as
sets of the institution have been re
duced by appraisers to $665,047, the
shrinkage resulting from general
business condition, according to the
report. Liabilities total $685,030, as
of Jan. 21 this year, according to
the report, which states that none
of the books assets was used in op
erating the receivership.
NEW STORE TAX TO
GO IN EFFECT SOON
Rates Effective When Leg
islature Acts Are Published.
New store tax rates set by the
legislature will go into effect as soon
as the legislature’s acts are pub
lished within the next few weeks,
store owners were warned today.
Stores not paid for 1933 will be
charged the new rate, higher in
the upper three brackets. Rates were
left at $3 for one store and $lO for
each store from two to five, but
were increased from sls to S2O for
six to ten stores, from S2O to S3O
for eleven to twenty stores, and
from $25 to $l5O for each store over
twenty.
Since the store tax law amend
ment act had no date of effective
ness, it will become effective when
the session’s laws are published, au
tomatically placing the new rates
into effect for stores unpaid for this
year.
However, the new rates will not
apply to stores already paid for 1933.
