Regardless t gossip, pneither

There is a bit of politics be

threat of a "committee on bom

power away from Mayor-elect W.

not develop into actuality; much
jacpends upon what assurances
the mayor may give the bloc that
is hoy ing with the idea.
On Monday night the matter

The aforesaid bloc objects to
fbeer sale in these places in the

as such, but because children

Munich Peace
Growing Shaky
Power Politics - Causing
Suspicion as Tests of .
Pact Loom
By FRED VANDERSCHMIDT
LONDON, Dec. 17.-(;P)-Eu-
rope's dangerous game ot power
politics to becoming a noisy forum
of suspicious 'anticipation for the
January testa of the- Munich
peace.
The men who hold . the cards
face the week ahead in this way:
Prim Minister. Neville Cham
herlain
The British leader on Monday
will take part in the last foreign
affairs debate in the house of
commons before he tries again to
make headway with his European
appeasement program in his Jan.
11-14 visit to Premier Benito
Mussolini in Rome.
Laborites want an outright vote
of censure for the prime, minis
ter's whole foreign policy but
Chamberlain has the votes.
However, a distinct cooling ofl
toward .Germany by conservative
politicians and business Interests
may force Chamberlain to take a
somewhat stronger line toward
Chancellor Adolf Hitler of Ger
many.
Deny Italian Gifts
He also will be under pressure
from both sides of the house to
disavow any intention ot winning
favors from II Duce by giving him
a piece of British East Africa
British Somaliland. Official
sources already have denied re-
Dorts be plans to do so.
Premier Edouard Daladier of
France
France's strong-man premier
rested warily on the declaration
of his foreign minister, Georges
Bonnet, to legislators that
"France will never cede one inch
of her territory."
That was bis answer to the
Italian clamor for important con
cessions in Tunisia, elsewhere in
Africa and in the Mediterranean.
Fight to Last
Despite Germany's written
pledge to respect France's fron
tiers, Vice-Premier Camille Chau
temps today told the chamber of
depjities that France would fight
"to the last ditch" any attempt
to separate Alsace-Lorraine from
her.
That' warning came during a
debate on the 93,885,000,000
franc ($2,441,000,000) budget
for 1939.
Premier Mussolini
II Duce went to Sardinia for a
speech tomorrow. The anti-French
agitation meanwhile reached the
simmering stage in the controlled
press. Italian observers believed
Mussolini would hold his fire in
order to keep from hurting pros
pects for getting something im
portant from Chamberlain next
month.
Chancellor Hitler--
The reichsfuehrer kept to him
self his plans as nazidom next
January 30 celebrates the sixth
anniversary 'of his accession to
power.
But signs pointed toward Ger
man encouragement of a new
Ukrainian national state and pos
sible outright acquisition of . ar
lost Memel, now a part ot Lithu
ania. The nazi press put Germany
"on guard" against Britain's eco
nomic power..
Dyer Freedom Is
Denied by Court
Attorneys Say That Case
of Klamath Woman to
Go to Martin
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., Dec.
17-iiP)-Defeated In a motion to
obtain a writ of habeas corpus,
attorneys for Mrs. Olllo Dr ,
40, charged at Pineville, Mo.,
with murder of her mother in
1933, said today they would car
ry their tight to Governor Mar
ti", who will hold an extradition
hearing soon.
Dismissing the petition for the
writ. Circuit Judge Edwin B.
Ashurst ordered Mrs. Dyer placed
in the custody of the sheriff on
a fugitive complaint. She was
arrested when her husband, Jack,
already returned - to Missouri,
said his arrest on a minor charge
that his wife had killed her
mother, Mary Sullivan.
Dyer claimed the mother's
death was made to appear to
have been caused by ah acci
dental fall from a hayloft. The
habeas corpus action was based
on the ground that the charges
were only the result of a state
ment by the husband, who said
Mrs. Sullivan was bludgeoned.
Judge Ashurst refused to al
low testimony purporting to show
that the husband's statement was
the product of malice.
