ALLOTTED 51,000 Veterans' Institution, One of Two in to Have 200 Bed Addition Federal Board Announces Priority Schedule Covering $7,332,000 Construction WASHINGTON, April 3 fA. Sam played Easter rabbit two days ahead of time today for Pennsylvania disabled World War veterans. Allocation of $580,000 for a 200-bed addition to tho veterans' hospital at Asplnwnll, one of two such Institutions in the State, by the Federal Hospitalization Board was more or less of a surprise.

It exceeded by $138,000 the amount curried in the House hospitalization bill, replaced by the Senate bill, which, as enacted and signed, carried a lump sum of $20,877,000. The priority schedule of construction announced today includes a score of projects to cost a total of Brigadier General Frank Hines, Veterans' Administrator, told a Congressional committee in the last session 200 beds were needed at Aspin-wall, but did not mention the sum. If the board follows the same procedure in regard to the Coatesville veterans' hospital that institution would be allotted money to build two new units with a total additional I'capacity of 292 beds. The House bill carried $500,000 for Coatesvllla Priority to Needy Section Administrator Hines, chairman of the Hospitalization Board, in announcing today's list, said every effort had been made to give priority to projects "which would most readily and promptly furnish additional hospital and domiciliary facilities where they are most urgently needed." "The matter of allocations, under the recent appropriation by Congress of $20,877,000 and other existing authorizations for additional hospital and soldiers' home construction," Hines said, "has been the subject of intensive study by the Federal board since the authorization of this appropriation." It was the matter of allocation that almost resulted in defeating the bill on the last day of Congress, many House members insisting that Congress and not the board should designate projects. Hines said the priority list would PHILADELPHIA'S QUALITY 1 SBrii, Xw-'J REED-S look asia a new Washington from California, reports he would resign from the Senate and go into the moving picture business.

Hoover spoke a personal Easter greeting today to 300 tourists who visited the White House.

CoiiyrWt-lty The Inquirer anit A'. V. llmili Trilmc. PARIS, April 3.

There is serious danger that the Anglo-Franco-Ital-ian naval agreement which was announced here on March 1 as the necessary complement of the treaty of London signed last year by the United States, Great Britain and Japan, and as the final solution ot the Paris-Rome naval controversy, may now become a dead letter and may never be signed in London or put into effect to tide over the duration of the three-power pact, that is to say. until the end of 1936. The Inquirer correspondent learns on excellent authority that a major discrepancy has arisen, between the French and Italian claims through a "negotiatory misunderstanding" of the first order. It is now certain that efforts to save the Franco-Italian naval accord are at a standstill, that the negotiations face a further suspension of virtually two weeks and that, even if the three powers concerned are to save their faces eventually, several or many weeks may be required. Hitch Over Replacement The latest threat to the conclusion of a Franco-Italian naval accord, the Inquirer correspondent is informed, lies In the French replacement programme for tonnages which will be over-age in and after 1936.

Since replacement ships require approximately three years to plan and it is said that the French authorities included a programme of this sort in its list of requirements. The French claim Is that the replacement programme is related only to craft which would be floated and effective after the treaty of London expires, but that this programme is necessary in order to begin construction before that date. It is learned tonight that the exact gap caused by the French replacement demands totals 66,000 that is to say, 22,000 tons a year for three years. As the Inquirer correspondent Is given to understand, these over-age replacement tonnage figures were not understood by the Italians as included In the figures they accepted In the tripartite accord and knowledge of them came as a distinct shock to the Italian naval experts when it came to drafting the terms of the agreement in London some two weeks ago. It Is difficult to explain exactly how such a discrepancy as this happened, although there are good grounds for believing that the diplo matic negotiators in London, Paris and Rome, or at least one of these, must have acted without completely informing their naval advisers of the full details.

"Serious, Kot Grave," Says Italy tfppcial Vattle to Thr, Inquirer, fjnftyht, btl The Inquirer and X. Y. ilrraitt Tribune. ROME, April 3. Suspension of work on the Franco-Italian naval agreement was announced in Rome today.

At present It is said that the work of drafting the treaty has been put off only "until after Easter," but Augusto Rosso and F. F. Ruspoli, the two Italian experts, may not return to London for a week or more after that date. According to statements 'made here, the Italian experts re- turned from London last Monday to consult the Government about what i they considered a new Interpretation which the French were attempting to put on the terms of the agreement. Officially the suspension is described as "serious but not grave." Today, however, no one in authority would attempt to predict a date for the return of Italy's two naval experts to London.

Washington "Still Hopeful" Hprfiftl to Inqutrtr. WASHINGTON, April 3. The White House and State Department were hopeful tonight that France and Italy, with the collaboration of Great Britain, would succeed in over coming the latest obstacle to their efforts to conclude a satisfactory naval agreement, although negotiations were not expected to be arranged until after the Easter holidays. The State Department announced that this country would not interfere, holding the problem to be one belonging strictly to France, Italy and Great Britain. "We are still hopeful," was the only official comment to come from Wilbur J.

Carr. Assistant Secretary of State, who received the Washington correspondents in the absence of Henry Stimson, Secretary of State, Informally, however, it was made clear that the State Department does not regard Premier Mussolini as having closed the door on an ultimate Franco-Italian accord in keeping with the spirit of the London treaty. The view here Is that as long as the interested nations are willing to meet in conference and talk tne 'matter over there is prospect of the difficulties being removed.
