Possibilities of America Taking Part in Disarmament Talks
Washington reports wide differences of view among foreign capitals on the scope of the forthcoming disarmament conference. The White House and State Department weigh American representation in the Geneva preparatory commission while awaiting the full commission's scope and word from diplomats abroad. The president's annual message hints at European limits on land armaments but anticipates no unified handling of naval and land armaments in the main conference.

Ohio and Pennsylvania Complaint on Coal Freight Rates
Chaseman WD B Ainey of the Pennsylvania public service commission said his state will join Ohio to challenge discriminatory freight rates on coal from Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio to port destinations. He released a telegram offering Pennsylvania's cooperation to petition the Interstate Commerce Commission for a reopening of the case. Western Pennsylvania coal operators via the Pittsburg Coal Producers Association and Eastern Ohio operators via the Pittsburg Vein Operators Association claimed two years ago that rates to take ports favored other bituminous regions, especially Southern West Virginia and Kentucky, a finding the commission previously rejected.
