Company Officials Hasten To Deny Such Treaty; Charge Propaganda
(Editor s Note: The United Press bureau in Rome has been working on the Standard Oil story for three days, and has
double-checked its original, confidential source of information. The story, of course, will be denied, but the Rome bureau is certain of its accuracy, according to Miles W. Vaughn, night manager of United Press.)
By United Press.
A “gentlemen’s agreement” between the Italian government and I the Societa Italo-Americana del Pe-| trolio, subsidiary of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, was revealed in Rome last night, but was denied immediately by Walter C. Teagle, president of the New i Jersey concern.
“It sounds like a preposterous piece of propaganda,'' Teagle said.
Diplomats at Geneva, considered the “agreement” a “colossal bluff” aimed at preventing unity among League of Nations members on an oil embargo, scheduled for consideration December 12.
Skepticism Rife
Skepticism was indicated by well-informed circles in London, ln Washington, the state department had no information.
Rome said that if oil sanctions were adopted by the league, the agreement immediately would become operative. The Societa Italo-Americana del Petrolio would supply Italy with all oil needed for her military operations in Italy and East Africa in exchange for a 30-year monopoly of the Italian market.
It was understood in Rome that the oil would be obtain*-- chiefly from Rumania. Rumania is a league member but has predicated her cooperation in the proposed Geneva oil blockade upon cooperation of all the other oil producing countries.
In Geneva and London, it was believed Rumania would refuse to be party to any such circumvention of sanctions.

3.	“Urgently necessary” strengthening of the imperial defense forces m order to fulfill its international obligations under the covenant and to safeguard the empire.

The king's address, which opened this session of parliament, began: King Cites Policy
“My government's foreign policy will, as heretofore, be Based on firm j support of the League of Nations. They will remain prepared to fulfil? in cooperation with other members of the league the obligations of the covenant.

Movie ‘Men’ Swap Punches Over TeaCups-No Injuries
By Henry Sutherland
By United Press.
Spencer Tracy, jutting-jawed film actor, and William Wellman, director, last night appeared to have revived one of Hollywod’s favorite indoor sports — trading punches over the teacups — after a lapse of several months.
A swanky cocktail bar was the arena, and the bout conformed to the film colony's one-punch tradition, ending with the score tied at no runs, two hits and no errors.
The most delicate of situations among Hollywood gallants, a slur on the reputation of a beautiful woman, touched off the melee, gossips said, but beyond the fact that she was a famous actress, her identity was not disclosed.
Ringsiders said Wellman made a flippant remark about the lady in the midst of a group of movie elite, whereupon Tracy rose up in wrath and a boiled shirt and tagged him with a plunkling right.
While women squealed and a crowd Jammed around, Wellman led with his own right, and plopped lt on Spencer’s pink ear. Tracy obligingly neglected to duck.
Spectators crowded sc eagerly
that the battlers were pushed apart undamaged, and no further blows were launched. They afterwards kissed and made up. which is also in keeping with Hollywood tradition.
“It was of no importance,” said Tracy. “Bill and I have met and shaken hands.’
Wellman was riled over rumors he was sporting a souvenir black eye.
“Bosh,’ he snorted, adding: “It was nothing serious, merely a misunderstanding.’
The film famous who cluster eagerly round professional rings, have a long list of intramural one-punchers on the records.
The most recent bouts were those of Joet Benjamin, fighter-pal of Jack Dempsey, who tok on Fred Perry, number one British tennis star, and Grant Withers last spring.
John Gilbert and Jim Tully once staged a bloodless battle in a Hollywood night club, and a short time thereafter Tully traded swings with Murphy McHenry, writer. Both missed and called it a day.
Al Jolson claims a one-punch victory over Walter Winchell, and John Monk Saunders once kayoed Herbert Marshall.
