E WOOED 6 YEARS; SAYS 'YES'! FEAR '35 OUTLOOK By MORRIS GILBERT .'(NBA Service Staff Correspondent) PARIS, Jan, 1 The faint gleam of diver linings becomes discernible through France a dark political elouds hazard-fraught 19.14 makes an lit Into history. Optimism for the international fu ture at least balances the pesilmlsm over domestic entanglements, Paris Is delighted by the unexpected and highly encouraging more of Great Britain to take a really active part In Continental affairs by sending troops to police the Baar. This, of course, was provisioned by Stanley Baldwin's epoch-making statement of lost sum mer that 'England's frontier is the Rhine." Without Inspecting the whole thing too closely Franca can't help wonder ing If it could possibly mean that there is really Santa Clans, and that sooner or later he will drive his rein deers right rjp to the front door with a Franco-British defensive military pact. Germany Offer Surprise Second biggest surprise: The ap parent agreement of Iiltierlsn Ger many to play nicely In Ita own yard, for the moment, and grumblingly con ceal the greediness that cornea of bad treatment in early youth, TJnclo Benito Mussolini had lots to do with this, for German agreement abont payment for the Saar mines was produced In Roma. It waa a real tri umph for diplomacy. France showed herself decidedly moderate, and Qer men's representatives did likewise. In stead of a lump of aoggy dynamite in the heel of the Chrlstmaa stocking, there seems to hare been a little cake for everybody. There are other reasons for a Joy, rol new style In France. One la the dim possibility of a res) and semi permanent understanding with the naughty boy next door. The prospect of Germany's return to the League of Nations can be faintly discerned In tli offing. It could only be arranged on certain conditions, which are a complete reversal of French policy In rae recent past. It'a Up to England The great condition is a final enueklnt-out at the guilt-clauses of the Treaty of Versailles, and with them the supposition that Germany Is subject race aa far aa arms are concerned, That condition necessarily depends upon England, Tor If England tak In a lesson from the catastrophic errect or mr Edward Grey a hesitancy when the World War was about to pop ahould resolutely announce a Franco-British defensive pact, some thing might be done. The eeeretlve, nlght-befnre-Chrlst-mas tiptoeing of Herr Ton Iilbbentrop la and out of the Foreign Office was a cheerful sign to all good little Frenchmen. Furtive though the meeting with French Foreign Minister Ivsl wis, It Indicated to observers thst a Frenchman and a German conld alt down together and talk things out. 1W!5 brings a numher of worries to France, however. What If the Baar doesn't work out aa nicely as plsnned? want abont the Socialists, the Com munists, the Jews, and other refugees from Hitler's Germany In that region? They are to get, France learns, a year'a grace. After that Ilka most minorities, they will probably here to shift for themselves. Another Scandal Too. the year IMS, begins for France the way tbe year 1R4 did with a Juicy financial scnnnal Involv ing many millions of francs. The fstavlaky case holds on, a year old and atlll lusty. The new esse is that of a Psnlsh-hnrn financier who haa crashed for I0O million francs. Mueller by nsme, he has bad a wide selection of first-nsmes. Today Jean Moeller, he waa successively liVkedall Moeller, Johannes Moeller, snd John Moeller before he and bis name were Frenchified. Aa was Stavisky, Mueller Is ac cused of corrupting public men. When offlclsls In 1013 sought to expel Moel ler from France because of alleged speculations against the franc, Moeller found a protector. The gentleman, now retired from politics, was then an nnder-seTetary of state and a deputy from the Midi. Moeller. tbe accusation goes, bribed him for 100,000 frsncs to wipe out the expulsion ordtr. He waa not eipelled. Political Significance Less The Panlh-born finsncier awaits the pleasure of a French court. His manipulations seem to here tittle, of the dssh or audacity of Rtaviiky's, and there Is no evidence today tint Moeller hsd a ilrcahle section of a large political party in bis pocket. It was on Janunry ft. lPfi-l, that Rtavisky died In a little villa in Cham nnli.

W) John Paul (.'base, rushed hero in irons from California, was indicted late today by a Federal grand Jury charging him with the murder of Herman E. Hollis, special agent of the depart ment of Justice. Hossis and Inspector Samuel P. Cowley were killed on November 27 as they sought to capture George (Baby Face) Nelson, his wife, and a male companion near suburban Bar- rington. Nelson was fstally wounded in tbe battle. Another indictment will be sought Wednesday, Prosecutor Unight Green announced, in an effort to have Chase named also as the slayer of Cowley. The indictment wss tbe first return ed under a new Federal law that makes the killing of a Federal agent a Federal crime and the death pen alty mandatory for a first degree murder conviction. Nelson was named nosthumouslv In the indictment thst charged him and Chase with the ruthless killings in an effort to elude capture.

Two or three bribe-stained deputies, one or two disreputable editora of blackmail sheets, languish In Jail. The beautiful Arlette, Madame Stavisky, does too.

Tile movement to Left and to night ties been nofnble, observers declare. But when Cnmlllft Chnutemps saw fit to run for Senator from the Tiire Inst snmemr a sort of dignified retire ment from active politics he won an easy triumph. When the big local elections took place Inst autumn, there wasn't a big shift of pnrty alleg iance anywhere in France. Most significant is the concentra tion of Frenchmen into two schools; the fnsclntlc-mlndcil, and the commun-Isllc-mindrd. New and old political Idena are sinllng In France. Internally, Frsnce Is st the cross road. And the wavering ghost of "Ssrha" Mlaviky points the wsy whlrh nobody Interprets alike. "The Tainted Veil" at the McDon ald may not be the greatest picture Greta Garbo has ever made, but be fore has tbe world's finest actress dona so beautiful a Job of acting. Herbert Marshall Is fine in support, and what few weaknesses the plot may have are more thon glossed over by tbe superb work of tbe principals. Colonial's "We're Not Dressing," with Bing Crosby and Carole Lom bard, is a grand comedy with music. Bing sings, Carole looks gorgeous, and Bums and Allen furnish some of the goofiest, most hilarious comedy in months. See it. , "Belle of the Nineties" closes at the State today.

"Lightning Strikes Twice," at tbe Heilig, offers a raft of fun and com edy, in a dizzy plot that features laughs snd more laughs. Walter Cat lett and a host of other ace com edians conspire to make it a real- lua-test. "Bulldog Drummond Strikes Twice," at the Hex( is our nomination as the slickest' picture since "Thin Man."

James E, Van Zandt, national com mander of the Veterans of Foreign War, contended tbe misunderstanding waa on the part of tbe president, "While we respect the views of President Roosevelt on this and other matters of policy," he said, "we be lieve that consress will be the final arbiter of this issue." Denying the president's assertion tint former veterans had been given preference In employment, he spoke of the "dire need of these men and their families." "Not Representative" Assailing Commander Farmer as "by no means representative of World War Veterans," Van Znndt said the Texan "served less than two months In an ambulance unit." In Henderson, Texas, Farmer Bald; 'It wss a great compliment to this post to hear from President Roosevelt regarding his stand." Declaring the bonus "does not mean anything to me, for I have not made application myself," be explained he had written the letter to the presi dent on behalf of members of his post. Entering the national guard in 1017. he said, he had served "only a short while" beforo being discharged ns un derweight. Vets Claim Margin Mrs. A. C, Carlson, national pres ident of the American Legion Auxil iary, said there was "pressing need" for immediate payment. She said that "In his statement that adjusted com pensation money, if pnid, would go to clear indebtedness and that 5 per cent of the veterans who die leave only the adjusted condensation cer tificates for their families, the presi dent has pointed shnrly to the press ing need for immediate payment of the certificates." Leaders in congress, including Rep. Byrns of Tennessee, were expressing the hope the bonus issue could be settled quickly. Thoush some con, tended the fight might be a close one, veterans leaders were claiming enough votes to pass the measure even over a presidential veto.
