SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8
(AP Pinned by a Jagged rock
to Pescadero reef. 50 miles south
of here, the tanker Tamiahua
was to be abandoned by her crew
of 39 at 3 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
A breeches buoy was rig-ged up
today to take off the crew when
repeated efforts of tugs nd a
coast guard cutter had failed to
budge the tanker. The early
morning hour was chosen as the
most expeditious as the tide will
be low and receding, lessening
possibilities of mishap as the
sailors are dragged through the
surf.
The crew has remained aboard
the craft ever since she ground
ed on the bleak coast in a dense
fog Thursday night. A jagged
rock which penetrated eight feet
into her hold, leaking tanks and
the continued rocking of ground
swells which setlled the ship,
made efforts to refloat her vir
tually hopeless.
Salvagers were preparing to be
gin an attempt early next week
to save the vessel If she is not
hopelessly battered by the tail
end of a gale which the federal
weather bureau reported was
driving In from the sea.
The Tamiahua was grounded
scarcely 200 feet from shore.

Period of Conscription
Service to be Limited
GENEVA, Nov. 8. (AP)
Count von Bernstorf t's proposal
to limit tbe numer of army con
scripts called to the colors each
year by parties to the League of
Nations' preparatory disarmament
conference was rejected by the
commission today. Approval, bow
ever, was voted an alternative
principle for limitation of the peri
od of conscript service. .
Only five nations supported the
German recommendation Russia,
China, Sweden, Norway and Hol
land. The United States, Great
Britain and Canada, while not vot
ing, were understood to approve
the proposal in substance although
they believed it useless to attempt
to force such limitation on states
which rely upon conscription for
their military defense forces.
France, Italy, Japan, Po'jand,
Jugo Slavla, Czecho Slovakia, Bel
gium, Rumania, and other . states
adhering to the conscript system
stood solidly against von Berns
torff's proposal. The German dele
gate took his defeat philosophic
ally, contending himself with re
serving Germany's right to renew
its efforts toward conscript limi

is caUed.
There was a general agreement
on the need for limiting the period
of conscript service, but- there
