WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. Norman
Davis returned from the futile Lon
don naval conversations exuding
optimism and wRwrsaw:
The roving am- WV
baasador told
newsmen he did
not expect a
naval race but
confidently be
lieved an ulti

Is probable.
What he told
them ofr the rec
ord cannot be re
peated, but It Is
no violation of

confidence to dlsclusu that It was

partments and, perhaps, even the
White House. There is a widespread
suspicion that Mr. Davis' optimism
is a diplomatic pose, and that Ills
hope Is diplomatic slush. The cap
able amba&iador-at-large has been a
diplomat &o long that his best friends
suspect he Is beginning to believe
the things he says.
A fair statement of the way this
government looks at the naval sit
uation from the Inside is this : If
the British and the Americans would
promise to give the Japanese the
right to full equality at the end of
a definite period, say, five or ten
years., a compromise might be reach
ed. We will npt agree to that. The
Japanese will not take anything Icjs.
Our authorities generally are con
vinced of the seriousness of Japan
ese Intentions. They say the Japan
ese have let us know In many little
way that they Intend to get the
right to parity In the future, and.
if we do not want to give it to them.
A they will take it.
The conviction Is widespread that
1936 will be the crucial period of
post-war naval hlr,tory. We are not
going to start the race. When the
treaty expires, we will go along
building and replacing In accordance
with the program laid down In the
treaty. If a naval race Is started. It
will be by the Japanese. If they build
one ship above the 6-5-3 treaty ratio.
then the race Is on. In that event
our authorities are planning to get
congress to agree to a slldlng-scale
building program under which we
can maintain a strength of 5 to. 3
against the Japanese.
Few well-informed parsons place
much faith In the interesting stort
coming over from London by un
official word-of-mouth cable. This
yarn Is to the effect that the Jap
anese delegates gave the impression
when they left London that they
were willing to enter any kind of
agreement to save their faces back
J home. They were supposed to be go
ing home with the Idea of trying to
sell their government the British
compromise' proposal. This proposal
is that each ,of the powers publicly
announce Its building program for
a period of years and agree not to
change the program without giving
advance notice.
The program would be based, or
course, on the 5-5-3 relationship.
Japan would be granted In principle
the right to build up to full naval
parity but she must hold her an
nounced program within the 5-to-3
ratio, although everyone would agree
never to mention the word "ratio"
again, tn other words, Japan would
receive the theoretical right to par
lty providing she promised not to
exercise it.
It Is probably true that the Jap
anese do not want a race, because
they know we could outbuild them.
Thry want to restrict us and the
British. If they can. Also, they ned
a diplomatic victory for home con
sumption. But whether they would
accept this grand Idea is something
else again.
The yarn has reached the btgeest
officials' ears here. Frankly. they
have not been impressed.
Another sub-roe yarn from Lon
don Is the one that our officials,
at the conference aknd the Japan-.
ese at one point to define what they j
considered to be "offensive weapon1
of war." The Japanese thought about j
It a while and replied that battle-1
ships, heavy cruisers and aircraft
carriers should be so classified.
The Japanese then asked ua to j
off-r our definition of offensive wea
pons. The comebnek made by one
of our delegates this classic: ,
"Any weapon is offensive when you'
are In front of It nd defensive when i
you are behind It " The Japanese
hae not quite figured that one out
yet.

Representative Pierce (D., Ore.),
veteran campaigner for a bill to open

he probably would ask a hearing next

bill." Pierce said. "I hope to obtain

The nation's first woman gov

mansion today, but not politics.
"If anyone thinks I'm leaving
politics forever he Is badly mis

icrved as governor and before tht
occupied the executive mansion
while her husband, James E
( Farmer Jim) Ferguson, was chief
executive.

Daniel C. Bowman, 55-year-old mis
sion merchant whose rifle on Novem

kJn, co-publisher of the East Oregon-
Ian of Pendleton, today was a free
man again.
A circuit court Jury here last night.
after seven full days ' " hearing testi
mony and arguments for and against
Bowman's conviction on a first degree
murder charge, spent a little less than
three hours tn bringing in i verdict
of not guilty. The vote was ten to
two for acquittal and today Bowman
was looking forward despite hints of
civil action that may arise as a result
of Lampkln's death to picking up
the threads of his life where he left
off more than two months ago. '
The Jury's speed In arriving at a
verdict came as a surprise to many,
who had expected more lengthy de
liberation on the part of the nine
men and three women of the Jury.
In Instructing ,the Jury Judge
Knowles stated a unanimous verdict
would be required only If Bowman
were convicted of first degree murder,
and that a division, not greater than
10 to 2 would be permissible on a
lesser charge or on acquittal. The
Oregon, law governing verdicts recent
ly was amended to permit a ten-vote
verdict In all except capital cases.

NKWARK, N. J., Jan. 15. (AP)--Major
James R. Doollttle, noted speed
flier, established a new transconti
nental record for transport airplanes
today, touching his wheels at Flyd
Bennett airport, New) York. 11 hours
50 minutes after his takeoff at Los
Angeles.
Doollttle was timed at Floyd Ben
nett at 8:26 a. m., (E-S.T.)'and eight
and one half minutes later he set the
low - winged transport monoplane
down at Newark airport. Although
previous transcontinental speed
flights had ended here, Doollttle'.
time at the New York field was con
sidered for record purposes.
Ills time of II hours 59 minuter
broke by minutes the mark set last
November 8 by Eddie Rickenbacker
when he flew from Los Angeles to
Newark In 12 hours 3 minutes 50
seconds.
Looking tired but happy, the flying
major was greeted here by Mayor C.
Ellcnstclu. Accompanying the avia
tor was Mrs. Doollttle and an oil
company official.
Doollttle's mark was made despite
the fact that he flew off his course.
"I didn't do the ship Justice," Doo
llttle said. "I lott an hour and a
half by getting off the course and
should have been here that much
! sooner. 1 guess it was Just a case of
j poor piloting."
Mrs. Doollttle, however, said going
i astray was the result of "dreadful
; Hying weather."
"The ice was bad." she said, "and
j weather conditions were awful. It's
i all right for Jimmy to blame himself
. but the weather man should tako
I some of tlio blame, too."
t Doollttle said the ship, a Vultce
: transport, powered by a 735 horsepow
er Wright Cyclone engine, functioned
perfectly all the way, enabling him to
, average about 217 miles an hour for
the approximately 2600 mile trip. He
left Union Atr Terminal, Burbank,
