By EDWARD PRESIDENT HOOVER called the correspondent to the White House Wednesday and gave out his new plan for reducing the armed forces of the world by one-third, thereby there-by saving between ten and fifteen billion bil-lion dollars during the next ten years, At the same time his proposals were being laid before 5 fc the reparations con ference In Genera by Hugh Gibson. As a basis the Hugh Gibson President laid down these five principles: ' -L The Kellogg-Briand pact, to which we are all signatories, can only mean that the nations of the world have agreed that they will use their arms solely for defense. "2. This reduction should be carried car-ried out not only by broad general cuts In armaments, but by increasing increas-ing the comparative power of defense de-fense through decreases in the power of the attack. "3, The armaments of the world have grown op in general mutual relation to each other. And, speak-, speak-, ing generally, such relativity should be preserved in making reductions. "4. The reductions must be real and positive. They must first effect ef-fect economic relief. "5. There are three problems to deal with land forces, air forces and naval forces. They are all interconnected. in-terconnected. No other part of the proposals which I make can be dissociated dis-sociated one from the other." Upon this foundation he proposed: pro-posed: Abolition of all tanks, chemical warfare and large mobile guns. Reduction of one-third in the strength of all land armies over and above "the so-called police component." com-ponent." The abolition of all bombing planes and the "total prohibition of all bombardment from the air." Reduction tn the treaty number and tonnage of all battleships by one-third. Reduction In the treaty tonnage of aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers by one-fourth and of submarines sub-marines by one-third, with no nation na-tion having more than 35,000 tons of submersibles. It was said authoritatively that Mr. Hoover's plan had the full approval ap-proval of Secretaries Stlmson, Hurley and Adams, the chief of staff of the army, the chief of naval operations and the entire American delegation in Geneva, When Ambassador Gibson read the President's proposals to the Geneva conference the British seemed to give them cautious general gen-eral approval, but the French were frankly hostile. Premier nerrlot said: "This is absolutely unacceptable. unaccept-able. France again will raise the question of security." The Germans Ger-mans and Italians both liked the Hoover clan. Russia and nearly all the smaller small-er nations represented at Geneva let Mr. Gibson know at once that the proposal pleased them. It was emphatically denied In Washington that the United States has mnde any suggestion of war debt reduction or cancellation In return re-turn for reduction In armament. SENATOR WILLIAM E. BORAH of Idaho can safely be counted upon to enliven the news at fre quent Intervals. He again fur- lished a major top- 1 at nnvprsntlnn when, during a de- sunciatory speech en the Republican platform, he flatly Informed his fellow senators and the world that he would not support Presi dent Hoover for re- f election. The gen- tleman from Idaho 1 Is extremely dry and he cannot Senator Borah stomach even the moderately moist plank which the Republican convention conven-tion adopted. Ills conscience, rather rath-er than the party leaders, ever has been Borah's guide, and his action In this instance cannot be called Inconsistent The proposed revision revi-sion of the Eighteenth amendment he declared, is equivalent to repeaL He denounced all straddling and compromise, laying down the Issue Is-sue as one demanding a clear cut choice between the status quo and outright repeat He asserted that a great majority In the Republican convention were In favor of repeal, but were steamrollered by the administration ad-ministration forces. Senator George Norris of Nebraska, Nebras-ka, a dry Republican who often leaves his party lines, was pleased with Borah's statement saying that now he, Korrla, would not be the osl j renegad- this falL Later be sud the surprising statement that Ma of Current World Over W. PICKARD he believed the United States must try some modified plan of dealing with the liquor question. To the press Senator Borah said that If he bad written the Republican Republic-an prohibition plank it would have contained no resubmission proposal for either revision or repeaL It would, instead, have informed the country that the only constitutional method of change was through the election of members of congress pledged to submit a repeal amendment amend-ment to the states. AS THE Democrats gathered in Chicago for their national convention It become apparent that a great number of them, probably a majority, were In favor of a prohibition pro-hibition plank simpler In more explicit ex-plicit than that in the Republican platform. Most of those who had anything to say on the question wanted a resolution proposing that congress submit an amendment repealing re-pealing the Eighteenth amendment but not declaring that the party is in favor of repeal. This, It was felt would be a safe course, and it was the opinion of Jouett Shouse and others that such a plank would be adopted. In Washington It received re-ceived the Indorsement of Senators Carter Glass of Virginia and Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas. Speaker John Garner of Texas, one of the candidates for the Presidential Pres-idential nomination, issued a prepared pre-pared statement making an unequivocal un-equivocal demand for repeal of the Eighteenth amendment which he said he never had believed sound or workable; and this was declared by other Democratic leaders to cinch the repeal plank. Garner's statement also was taken as a bid for the support of Al Smith and the others who were determined to prevent the nomination of Gover nor Roosevelt In any event, it was believed. It hurt the chances of Roosevelt s being nominated in the early ballots. Al Smith, on his arrival in Chi cago, announced that he was for a repeal plank, and for himself as the nominee, first, last and all the time. ROOSEVELT'S managers were seemingly undismayed by any late developments and continued to predict victory on the first ballot or soon after. It mam itnAi)nA Yin all that thn trnvpr- nor would have f enough delegates to organize the committees, com-mittees, and might even go to the length of trying to abrogate the old I two-third rule. The chief preliminary battle was to be over the selection John E. Mack of a permanent chairman, the Roosevelt forces Insisting In-sisting that Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana should be substituted sub-stituted for Jouett Shouse, who had been recommended for the position by the arrangements committee and who was one of the Smlth-Raskob group. To present his name to the convention con-vention Governor Roosevelt selected John E. Mack, New Tork attorney and gentleman farmer, who was Roosevelt's political godfather when he first stood for public office 22 years ago. Mr. Mack Is famous at home for oratory that appeals to the "common people." INDIANA Democrats in state convention con-vention unanimously adopted a plank calling on congress to submit to the states an amendment to the Constitution repealing the Eighteenth Eight-eenth amendment and calling for immediate repeal of the Wright "bone dry" state law. it declared for state laws to prevent return of the saloon and for state control of the liquor traffic. Paul V. McNutt was nominated for governor and Frederick Van Nuys of Indianapolis for United States senator. Van Nuys was Introduced In-troduced as "the man who can beat Jim Watson." Primaries of the Republican, Democratic and Farmer-Labor parties par-ties were held In Minnesota. For the nine seats In congress most of the leaders In the race were classed as wets. In Maine the Democrats nominated Louis J. Braan, wet for governor, and the Republicans picked Burleigh Martin who Is supposed sup-posed to be a dry. RIGHT in the middle of all the excitement over politics came the prize fight between Max Schmel-big Schmel-big of Germany, world's heavyweight heavy-weight champion, and Jack Sharkey of Boston, challenger for the tltl?. The combat took place in a new "bowl on Long Island and attract ed about 70.000 spectators. Many millions heard It described by radio. For 15 rounds the warriors fought warily, with never a knockdown. and then to the surprise of nearly every one. Including Sharkey himself, him-self, the Bostonlan was declared the winner. Gene Tunney, former champion ; Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York, and a majority or toe sporting writers present agreed that It was an unfair decision. The general gen-eral opinion was that Schmeling had won eight rounds, Sharkey four, and three were even. Judge George Kelly and Referee Gunboat Smith voted for Sharkey. Charles Math-lson, Math-lson, the other Judge, voted for Max. Jack himself thought he had lost and started for the German's corner to congratulate him. JUST one month from the time she started on her solo flight to Ireland, Mrs. Amelia Earhart Put nam returned to New Tork and was given one of the characteristic receptions of the metropolis.

In Bryant park she received the cross of honor of the United States Flag association. Next day Mrs. Putnam flew to Washington, where President Hoover received her and presented to her the medal of the National Geographic society. Toward the close of the week she was in Chicago as a guest at the Washington bicentennial military tournament Through it all Mrs. Putnam won increased admiration by her modesty mod-esty and her futile efforts to belittle her achievement She blushed deeply deep-ly when Mr. Hoover said that she deserved to be placed In spirit "with the great pioneering women to whom every generation of Americans Amer-icans has looked up to with admiration." admira-tion."
