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. He hsd been in hiding for many
nays, following the Christmas-tide
revelstlons of his skullduggery In liev-
onne ann raris. His death preoini

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

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

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. Speed
was the watchword as Green, the

6tavlsky Beneficiaries In Power
The balance alieet of the tttavisky
rase today reveals that a few under-
lings have been arrested. Two or
three bribe-stained deputies, one or
two disreputable editora of blackmail
sheets, languish In Jail. The beautiful
Arlette, Madame Stavisky, does too.
It was the Rndicnl-Sociallst psrty
majority political group of France for
many years which Stavisky partially
aubsidi-ed. and from Individuals con
nected with which he derived his Im
munity from the lsw and power to

election Result Problematic
What would hsppen In a new gen
eral election Is hsrd to ssy. 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

"The Tainted Veil" at the McDon

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,"

assets many veterans had to leave for
their families. He denied payment
now would speed recovery.
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.
