Dr. Feinbloom, In contrasting reflection at front surfaces with refractions, said application of the principle of refractions with prisms resulted in a cumbersome device that could be used only when held in the hand or attached to a stand. In the "mirroscope spectacle," he said, the physical axis of the objective and the ocular axis are not coincident, so that those people who see better from the side of their eyes can use the "mirroscope spectacle" without having to turn their eyes. Dr.

Feinbloom expressed appreciation for assistance given him in a technical development of the "mirroscope spectacle" by Dr. Elmer E. Hotallng, chairman of the committee on subnormal vision of the American Academy of Optometry. He said he was contributing the "mirroscope spectacle" to science. In "-December, 1932, Dr.

Feinbloom, a Research Fellow at Columbia University Graduate School, New York, announced the "cylinder telescopic spectacle" the American Academy of Optometry in Chicago. Five other optical inventions are credited to him. Dr. Thomas McBurnie, president of the American Optowietrical Association, said of the "mirroscope spectacle;" "the science of optometry has always endeavored to conserve the eyesight of the people. The mirroscope, as another developmentwithin our profession, will do much to improve the vision of many partially blind."

G. Reid, provincial Treasurer, was the most talked of man today, but again there were reports of a "dark horse." The appointment of Hon. George Hoadley, veteran of the House, also was held out as a possibility. Keversal of the Jury's verdict the Brownlee-MacMillan case by Acting Chief Justice W. C.

TARIFF BOARD SITTING AGAIN U.K. Shoe Manufacturers Seek Lower Tariii on Products Canadians Make Counter Ap' plication, Seeking Upward Revision of Duties By F. C. MEARS. (Gazette Resident Correspondent.) Ottawa, July 4.

Another assault upon the Canadian tariff structure and under the terms of the con ference agreement between Canada and the United Kingdom opened today before the Tariff Board when British shoe manufacturers, invoking article 11 of J.he agreement, argued in favor their application for a tariff reduction on tneir pro ducts from 25 per less one' tenth for direct importation through a Canadian port, the present rate, to 15 per cent. Their application was vigorously resisted by the Shoe Manufacturers' Association of Canada which made a counter ap plication for an upward revision of the tariff rates. Presiding over the hearing was Hon. George H. Sedgewick, chairman of the board, who just re turned from England where he made a general survey of conditions under which industries, particularly those which have applications pending before the board, are operating.

Associated with him in hearing the arguments were Commissioners Charles Hebert and Milton Campbell. Appearing for the British industry were A. C. Sommerville, A. B.

Shepherd and J. R. Cowan, and for the Canadian industry the following: John J. McHale, London, president of the Shoe Manufacturers Association ot Canada; J. E.

Warrington, Quebec City; S. E. Dack, Toronto; Gordon H. Nlchol, Toronto; and S. Roy Weaver, secretary ot the association.

A. M. Wiseman, British Trade Commissioner at Toronto, attended with a "watching brief" for the British Government. It was contended by the ap plicants that a duty of 15 per cent, would equate the production costs as between Canada and the United Kingdm. that the present rate had made British imports almost negligible and that if the conference agreement were to be observed British industry should have a fair chance in the Canadian market.

The Canadian industry, in reply suggested that it the British Indus- (Continued on Page 17, Col. 4.) INDEX TO THE NEWS Tago Two Hungary clear of Europe's troubles. Outremont police held too active. Pago Three Four arraigned for murder. Lights and Shadows of Manhattan.

An interruption in a telephons conversation between the Berlin and Munich offices of the New York Times tonight gave unexpected evidence of (he care with which every means of communication is controlled by the police. Thfe conversation was being carried on in English. Suddenly a voice broke in to demand that a change be made to German.

BMESSWAR THREAT FADING Britain and Germany Sign Agreement on Loans Interest on Dawes and Young Bonds Will Be Met This Time By HAROLD P. BRAMAN. (Associated Press Staff Writer.) London, July 4. Great Britain and Germany avoided a war for at least six months today by signing an agreement providing for the payment of interest on Dawes and Young loan bonds held by British subjects.

The agreement extends six months from July 1. the day the German moratorium on all foreign obligations became effective. Other long and medium-term obligations held in Great Britain, which are mostly commercial, will not be serviced during the moratorium, under the terms of the agreement. Germany agreed to deposit British currency in the Bank of England for payment of all coupons from Dawes and Young loan bonds. In return, Britain will not apply the new clearing house law, under which the Government, would have been able to seize a portion of German commercial funds for the benefit of bondholders.

The conclusion of the negotiations between the two nations was termed "satisfactory" by Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer, who pushed the clearing house bill through Parliament The declaration of the moratorium by Germany was followed Immediately by Great Britain's threat to set up the clearing house. At the same time the Germans, who threatened trade reprisals, were Invited to the conference which ended with today's agreement. Both nations' representatives exr pressed the view that a permanent solution of the whole problem will be possible before the six months' term of the present agreement ends. The agreement specifically states that both countries desire that trade between them continue on a non-diBcriminatory basis. The Germans have Insisted that they are unable to meet Interest (Continued on Page 17, Col.

The Dominion Government hss offered to soil the old swing bridge si WHland for tl snd In assist In erecting a hew bridge in span Kettle Crcsk at Tort Stanley, (By The Canadian Press.) Toronto, July 4. Announcement of what he termed the "Mlr-roscope Spectacle," an optical device to increase visual acuity by 250 per cent and employing a "new principle" in optical science, magnifying the vision of the partially blind beyond that of any other known device, was made here today by Dr. William Feinbloom, of New York, before the International Congress of the American Op-tometric Association.

Many people whose vision Is now limited to the recognition of newspaper headlines can obtain distant vision at home, theatres, movies, church, athletic events and while riding In trains and automobiles, through the aid of the Mirroscope Spectacle," he said. Dr. Feinbloom said he had been working for nine years on the problem of achieving this maximum magnification of vision for the near blind in a convenient form that could be worn like ordinary spectacles. "The development for the first time of the principle of reflection at front surfaces in Galilean telescopic spectacles resulted in the design ot the "Mirroscope Spectacle," Dr. Feinblocm said.

"The use of the reflection principle now makes It possible to obtain such high magnification and yet keep the tube length to 20 millimetres, so that they may be fitted into ordinary shell frames." Dr. Feinbloom said definite improvement of vision result for at least 60 per cent of the partially blind, basing his conclusion on a report presented before the American Academy of Optometry at EARLYHARVEST OF CROPS SEEN Further Improvement in Prairie Conditions Are Reported Precipitation Fairly General Over Farming Districts During Past Week (By The Canadian Ottawa, July 4. A further -Improvement In Prairie crop conditions occurred during the past week, according to a crop report Issued today by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

Unfortunately, the precipitation fell as hail in scattered areas of all three provinces and severe damage was caused to promising crops. The affected districts were in north-eastern Manitoba, central Saskatchewan and south-western and west-central Alberta. "Since the first-sown wheat crops are now headed and most of the remainder in the shot blade, there are Indications of an early harvest, except in central and northern Alberta," the report stated.

AUGUST WILHELM ISPRIYATECITIZEN Prince is Expelled from Hitler's Storm Troops and from Nazi Party (Special Cable to The New York Times and Montreal Gazette.) Berlin, July 4. Prince August Wilhelm of Hohenzollern has been expelled from the Hitler Storm Troops and from the Nazi party and Is again a private citizen. As such he has been freed from his home arrest and can eo where he pleases. Not that he seems to have been guilty of anything special, he was merely too close to some of the alleged traitors In the storm troops.

Especially he was a friend and Intimate of Ernst, the Berlin and Brandenburg commander, who was shot and Is said to have died crying "I am innocent. Hell Hitler." August Wilhelm himself, however, Is regarded as being too guileless to have been a serious plotter or serious at anything, As one of the most popular Hohcnzol-lerns whoso policy it is to havs a sheet anchor In every possible popular movement his family assignment had been made quite early to the growing Nazis who were then extremely happy to Include the Hohenzollern in their ranks. He became one ot the so-called "old fighters" of the party, having been beaten up by republican police In Konnlgnberg In on of the then frequent stroet bnttlrs. Thereafter he was grtippen fuehrer group leader and wore a lovely brown uniform. Now he can't wear It any more, but that' the full extent of hit punishment.

(Special Cable to The New York Times and Montreal Gazette.) (Registered In Accordance with Copyright Act.) Berlin, July 4. A significant Incident today in a Germany craving for a return to normal and with the ruling powers trying their best to struggle back to that state Is the issuance of a new order to the storm troops by Lutze, successor as chief of staff to the denounced and executed Roehm.

In itself this order is merely an elaboration of previous instructions, cutting out driil, uniforms and daggers during the July vacation As to uniforms, these instructions are being strictly obeyed. Not a brown uniform is visible in all Berlin; only somber black and the scarlet swastika armlets of the Schutz Staffeln, special guard. But it is an elaboration of tre-vious instructions which is significant. This latest order practically eliminates the storm troops as a factor in the life of the country for the time being. During July they are forbidden to assemble or assume mass formation either in uniform or civilian attire anywhere throughout the country and for any purpose whatever except by special permission of their group leaders, These in turn as well as all other commanders are to hold themselves continuously at the disposition of their Meantime it is again emphasized that the "daggers of honor" are to be cleansed of their inscription bearing the name of the traitor Roehm.

MADAME CURIE DIES IN FRANCE Co-discoverer of Radium Victim ol Scientific Zeal Rays Accumulated in System Brought About Anaemic Condition (Associated Press Cable.) Sallanches, France, July 4. Radium, the priceless curative agent which she and her husband gave to the world, today caused the death of Mme. Curie, the world's best known woman scientist.

The end came at six a.m., in a quiet sanitarium to which the 66- ear-old woman came last Friday for treatment. Physicians said radium rays had accumulated in her system, injuring the organs producing red corpuscles. Pernicious anemia attacked the already frail scientist, and a consultation of 12 leading Parisian scientists and physicians resulted In her coming to the sanitarium here. She arrived with two daughters and a son-in-law, who. remained with her until the eod.

She was in such a weakened condition that she fainted twice at the railroad station and had to be taken to the sanitarium in an ambulance. Yesterday she seemed to realize that the end was near. She gave directions that her funeral be as simple as the life she led, and arrangements were made to bury her besldo her husband in the family vault. Mme. Curie had carried on for 28 years the radium experiments which she started with hsr husband, Dr.

Pierre Curie. The husband was killed by a truck In 1906 shortly after the couple announced their Important discovery. The wife was honored by her own and other nations with the highest awards a scientist can win, but always shrank from public view. She twice won the Nobel- Prize In chemistry and was the only woman ever elected to the French Academy of Sciences. Thousands of victims of cancer have benefited from the Curies' discovery of radium, one of the wor'd's rarest and most valuable suhs.ance.

(Associated Press Staff Writer.) Paris, July 4. French officialdom was perturbed today over what was termed "unfounded" talk of an Anglo-French military alliance.

Authorities feared Great Britain, as a result of published rumors of an alliance, would be farther than ever from an "understanding" which Foreign Minister Louis Bar-thou will seek in London next week. The Paris Herald printed "Revelations" of a full-blooded Anglo-French military alliance being prepared by the British Cabinet. British aversion to a definite alliance is now considered such that the French fear little if anything will be gained by Barthou's visit. Barthou, it was known, hoped to get Great Britain's open promise to rush aeroplanes to France's defense in case of necessity. He is now expected merely to try to convince Great Britain of the danger of invasion from a rearming Germany, and to make an effort to win the British to the preparedness idea, since France feels that Britain Inevitably will be drawn into any continental war.

French and British army chiefs are reported to be actively exchanging information. General Maxime Weygand recently went to London and 38 English generals headed by the Chiet of Staff, General Sir Archibald Montgomery Massing-berd, have just completed" a mysterious visit to France. One purpose of Barthou's trip was to explain the French fence-mending in Eastern Europe. He desired particularly to assure the British that there is no Franco-Soviet alliance in the efforts of both France and Russia to win (Continued on Page 8. Col.

4.) MEATlPORTS AGAIN DEBATED Levy Plan With Prelerence lor Dominions Discussed Financial Assistance for U.K. Home Producers Included in Proposals (Canadian Press Cable.) London, July 4. An import levy plan involving a guaranteed price, restriction of imports from both the Dominions and foreign coun tries with a preference for the Dominions and financial assistance to home producers, is understood to have been the basis ot discussion at today's meeting of the meat con ference at the Colonial Office. The discussions were described as friendly but vigorous and it is un derstood the plan, submitted by the United Kingdom Government, fell far short of meeting the approval of the representatives of th Dom inions. The conference Is considering a revision ot the meat clauses of the Empire trade pacts which come Up tor review this year and are of concern to Australia, New Zealand, and Southern Rhodesia, but of no great interest to Canada.

Canada is represented at the meeting, however, along with the Irish Free State. It was suggested the British plan coum ne operated with the same sort of machinery provided In the wheat agreement, Inasmuch as It is based on the same principle, namely an agreed restriction of exports by exporting countries. It would apply to mutton and lamb as well as beef. The levy Imposed on Imported meat would be on a basis which would give the Dominion a (0 per cent, preference over foreign countries. Proceeds of the levy would be used to provide financial assistance for home producers.

LOCHNER. (Associated Press Cable.) (Copyright, 1934, by The Associated Press.) Berlin, July 4. Germany's "sturdy oak," President Paul von Hindenburg, refused today to bow before the will of Adolf Hitler, and the President's protege, Franz von Papen, kept his place as vice-chancellor of the Reich. Hitler, who a few days ago ruthlessly killed his enemies in the Nazi party, came back to Berlin this afternoon from a conference at Neudeck with the 86-year-old president. Shortly afterwards, It was announced Vice-Chancellor von Papen, ivho not only is not a Nazi but is i critic of many Nazi politics, vould keep his position.

Until yesterday it had been the )lan of the "purged" Nazi party to emove him from office and give 'he second place in the cabinet to Hermann Wilhelm Goering, at present Hitler's closest collaborator. When the "resignation" was not forthcoming as expected, Hitler, made a dramatic flight by plane to rh country estate of the President, vho had told the Reiehswehr (re- army), to protect von jrapen.

His removal would nave Deen tha President is understood to have said, as an admission the Vice-Chancellor was implicated in the "treachery" which iroused the fury of Hitler. Von Papen held a conference with the Chancellor late tonight, being acocmpanied by his son and secret police operatives as he went to the chancellery. tt was stated that no announcement would be made regarding the before tomorrow.

Ottawa, July 4. Some improvement has been noted in the export trade of Canadian automobiles to the United Kingdom recently, and a very substantial improvement the trade to South Africa, officials of the Department of Trade and Commerce stated here today. The development has beeji particularly noticeable during the past few weeks. The demand from South Africa is due to the improved economic conT dltions In that country because of the high price of gold. The departmental advices are that the entire shipping space immediately available has been contracted.

Canada has no particular advantage In regard to the tariff on automobiles going to South Africa with the exception of certain concessions on valuations. The tariff in South Africa ranges from 20 per cent for cars up to 400 with higher priced cars up to 25 per cent, The reason Canadian cars are playing so Important a part in the trade with South Africa is said to be based on understanding between certain United States parent companies and Canadian subsidiaries giving the latter the South African market. Officials here had been of the opinion that the speeding up of the automobile trade with Great Britain was also due to belter conditions there. However, a cable from London today Indicated that the change in the budget for the United Kingdom in respect to automobile licences was helping larger cars such as are produced In the (Continued on Page 8, Col. 4.)
