1 PER CENT OF COST
USED FOR DECORATION
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. Out In
Granville, Ohio, a small Baptist
stronghold In the farming country, a
remarkable event has Just taken
place. A mural depicting the arrival
of the first settlers has Just been
unveiled at the post office. The ob
scure painter, Wendell Jones, has
shown the pioneers after the felling
of a mighty tree for their church's
pulpit, when they burst Into a spon
taneous hymn of praise. By the
strange artist's alchemy, he has in
fused his picture with reality and
testacy, until It seems to sing as loud
aa his painted men and women.
That la a remarkable event by any
standard the appearance, in a little
town of the midwest, of one who
promises to rank with the first crea
tors of our time. The man responsi
ble Is Edward Bruce, director of the
fine arts division of the procurement
division of the treasury, whose pecu
liar ambition is to bring good paint
ing and good sculpture Into every
city, town and hamlet In the. United
States.
Bruce is an extraordinary fellow.
The other day he astonished several
of the leading government economists
by asking them to lunch, and urging
them to Include works of art In the
catalogue of the national wealth.
The notion was something of a nov
elty to a hard-headed statistician like
Commissioner of Labor Statistics
Isador Lubln. That didn't stop Bruce,
who argued for It enthusiastically,
and ended by threatening to testify
on the subject before the monopoly
committee.
But the really interesting thing
about Ned Bruce is that he Is suc
ceeding surprisingly well with his
ambition. For a long time. Nevada
was the last state he had not Invaded,
but now he has found a place and a
painter for a small project at Love
lock. On the walls of his office, among
multitudes of sketches for murals
past and future, hangs a huge map
of the United States. Black pins
mean finished projects, red pins, un
finished. There are scores and hun
dreds of pins, wattered all the way
from Arcadia, Pla.. to Anacortes,
Wash., from La Jolla. Calif., to
Kennebunk, Me., and Big Spring, Tex.
Bruce has a way of looking lovingly
at his panorama of pins and telling
you:
"Some day, there'll be a pin In
every village, our people are starved
for pictures. And what a wonderful
place for a picture a post office la

'HOPE' GERMANY f

Victory for Memel Nazis in
Parliamentary Elections
Fires Hope for Return
to German Government
LONDON. Dec. 13. (AP) Great
Britain has expressed to Germany the
"hope" that the relch will not annex
Memel, Prime Minister Chamberlain
told the house of commons today.
Britain, he said, was joining France
In representations to Berlin concern
ing possibility of a movement to ab
sorb Memel, which was German be
fore the world war, aa a sequel to
yesterday's elections for the local
parliament which resulted in a de
cisive victory for Memel nazls.
Designs Seen
tn reply to a question the prime
minister said:
"There Is reason to think that
after the Memel elections demands
may be made upon the Lithuanian
government by majority parties In
the diet which would be inconsistent
with the statute of Memel (the agree
ment of May 8. 1924. by which Bri
tain. France, Italy and Japan ap
proved Lithuania's possession of
Memel.)
"The British government, as a
signatory of the Memel convention,
can not Ignore this possibility
"In view of the special influence
which the German government is In
a position to exert In these matters,
the British charge d'affaires In Berlin
has been Instructed to Join with the
French ambassador In expressing the
hope that the German government
will use Its influence to Insure re
spect for the statute."
. Previously Chamberlain told the
house Britain was not obligated to
go to the aid of France in the event
of an Italian attack on France or her
colonies.
Replying to a series of persistent
questions, Chamberlain also dis
closed Germany thus far has made
no official request for the return of
her former colonies, lost In the world
war.
MEMEL, Lithuania, Dec. 13. AP)
The pro-Nazi Memel directory, flush
ed with what It termed a smashing
victory in parliamentary elections
yesterday, decreed the end of Lithu
anian police powers today In this for
mer German territory.
The decree asserted only police of
autonomous Memel would be permit
ted to control security of the terri
tory lying at Lithuania's southwest
corner adjoining Germany.
Lithuanian police who heretofore
have collaborated with Memel's au
tonomous force now will be regarded
as private citizens.
Decision In Berlin
Political observers declared final
decision as to any change tn the
territorial status of Memel, object of
German ambitions to expand along
the Baltic, would be made In Berlin,
not Memel.
The Lithuanian government which
holds a somewhat nominal sovereign
ty over Memel awaited the return
from Berlin of the German minister.
It was expected he would bring n re

of the disputed region.

EYE PROJECT FOR
AMERICANJSAFETY
Plan Advanced by Vene
zuela Defines What
Would Be Aggression Of
Non-American Nation.
By Andrue Berdlng
LIMA. Peru. Dec. 13. (AP) The
Pan-American conference peace com
mittee, with Alf M. Lsndon as the
chief United States representative,
took up today a sweeping project for
safeguarding the security of the
Americas.
The project was advanced by Vene
zuela. It defines what would be ag
gression from a non-American nation
and calls for Immediate consultation
and common action by the Americas
in the event of attack.
Some of the delegates considered
the project too advanced in concept
for conference approval in Its present
form, but from the committee discus
sion may emerge a draft acceptable
to all.
Favorable Omen
Some delegates saw a favorable
omen for peace legislation in the
address by Jose Maria CantUo, foreign
minister of Argentina, who said on
Saturday the American nations were
ready to maintain a common front
against any danger which might men
ace the independence and sovereignty
of any of them.
In. view of the previous Argentina
attitude agalnat any step drawing
away from European ties, the feeling
prevailed Cantllo took a step further
than might have been expected.
Deciding to return home today,
Cantllo Instructed his delegation to
proceed upon the outlines of his
speech but no further.
1 Much criticism of the Venezuela
aggression project was that It did not
consider the possibility of Invasion
of the hemisphere by political, activi
ties of the non-American nations,
which both Cantllo and Secretary
Hull, chief of the United States dele
gation, mentioned In their Saturday
speeches.
The United States delegation would
like to see something Included on
this.
Time for Lnlty
The Venezuela plan, "without ex
aggerating future danger" and "with
out sowing suspicions," declares that
"for America the moment has arrived
to think and work con tinen tally, to
unify Its action and Its methods of
defense In the face of emergencies
that might arise."
The definition of aggression in
cludes: force to settle differences
rather than use of the courts; declar
ation of war on one of the signator
ies; Invasion by armed forces; attack
by land, air or sea; a naval blockade;
support to armed bands invading one
of the America.
