U.S. TO STAND 1 PAT ON IDEAS OF WAR DEBTS Hoover Can’t See Slash Until Europe Takes Off War Paint. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent ' WASHINGTON, June 10.—The | Hcover administration is resisting] pressure to reopen the debts and reparations questions, because government experts studying Germany’s conditions believe she can carry her present burdens a while longer until it becomes clear whether her difficulties are due to world depression or are more fundamental. Before considering any move which would entail breaking down the debt-funding agreements, the Hoover administration intends to be certain that Europe first wipes off its war paint. Mr. Hoover feels he could not, under any circumstances, recommend that Europe’s debt be shifted so long as she is participating in what he estimates to be a $5,000,000,000 world outlay annually for armaments. The wealthy classes in Germany, industrialists particularly, are regarded as having large influence. It is held by some that they have been able to shunt taxes on down the line so that the lower strata bear the heavier share, proportionately. Germany Is regarded as having a psychological limit which has been about reached. The rising generation, as the experts view the situation, resents having to make heavy sacrifices for the predicament into which the old generation plunged Germany, American officials, speaking privately, strongly doubt whether Germany can be expected to pay until 1988 as provided in the Young plan. • 'No,' Says France By United Press PARIS, June 10.—The government stood officially opposed today to any effort to call an international debts conference as a result of the Anglo-German conversations at Chequers. Aristide Briand, foreign minister, in announcing the ministry’s opposition to such a parley, also took occasion in the chamber of deputies publicly to warn Germany that nationalist demonstrations such as the recent parade of the Steel Helmet organization “had grave repercussions in France.” Ludlow to Be Graduated Louis L.

Selection of a police chief to succeed Jeremiah E. Kinney, who died Tuesday, will not be considered formally until after funeral services Friday for Mr. Kinney, Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan has announced. In the meantime, it has been learned, Sullivan is frowning on various factions to boost certain members of the police force for the post at this time. Among those most prominently mentioned for the post are Detective Chief Fred Simon and Captains John Mullin, Lewis Johnson and Otto Pettit. The first three are Democrats and Pettit is a Republican. Major Herbert Fletcher, acting police chief, also may be considered, although he is a Republican. Among names heard today in police circles as possibilities was that of James Qngley of the Quig-ley-Hyland detective agency. Quigley served as chief thirty years ago. Sullivan is expected to name a Democrat for the office and is not expected to make a choice from outside present members of the police force. Simon and Mullin have been on the force more than a quarter-cen-tury, while Johnson has served eighteen years. Pettit was named to the force in 1916. Members cf the city administration, however, feel that Sullivan may select a “dark horse” from among th'e younger members of the force.

Chicken’s Risk ‘They Cross Roads at Their Own Peril/ Rules State Police Chief.

travel Hocsier V_>< highways at their own risk.” That is the answer Chief Grover C. Garrott of the state police gave today to anew version of that old question: “‘Why does a chicken cross the road.” The questions put to the chief were: “Has a chicken any rights on the highway?” Is it a farmer’s duty to keep his chickens within certain areas? If a motorist kills a chicken, does he have to pay for it? “When a chicken takes a chance on crossing the road these days she is doing it at her own risk entirely,” Chief Garrott declared. “The modern motorist can not be expected to be able to" dodge a chicken because he is traveling at too great a pace, he added. “A farmer has no chance to collect damages, because if he wants to keep his chickens from being killed he must keep them off the highways. “I do believe that the average driver tries his best not to kill chickens, but when it does happen he is usually not to blame,” Garrott declared. The chief also pointed out that the rule about traveling highways at their own risk might be applied to city as well as country “chickens” today.

LINCOLN TOMB WORKFINISHED Interior Rebuilt; Ceremony This Month. SPRINGFIELD, 111., June 10.— The work of rebuilding the interior of Abraham Lincoln’s tomb has been completed for formal opening this month at services to be attended by President Hoover. Outwardly, the Lincoln memorial practically is unchanged since its dedication by President Grant in 1874. But inside, the nation’s greatest architectural skill has designed a beautiful rotunda, conecting galleries and sarcophagus chamber, all in perfectly matched marble. Over the spot where Lincoln’s body lies beneath a ten-fcot square bjpek of concrete and steel, is a new sarcophagus of solid marble of warm red rue. Over a grill covered window is cut in marble the famous tribute to the emancipator: “Now he belongs to the ages.” Across from the sarcophagus, in crypts sealed with slabs of marble, rest the bodies of Mrs. Lincoln and three of their sons, Edward, William and Thomas.

DOCTORS URGED OY LEADER TO USE SELF-CARE Little Attention to Health Is Scored Before U. S.Association. Bu Science Servtce PHILADELPHIA, June 10.—Failure cf most doctors to follow themselves the health precepts which they give to their patients was criticised by Dr. Reginald Fitz of Harvard university Medical School at the meeting here today of the American Medical Association. In spite of his high training in the recognition and management cf disease in others, the physician gives curiously little attention to his own health, Dr. Fitz said. Accidents and acute infections are the chief causes of deaths of young physicians, while by far the greatest number of those doctors who live over 45 years die of heart disease, Dr. Fitz found from an analysis of the causes of death among the 3,000 physicians who die each year. Heart Disease Takes Many Frequency cf heart disease as a cause of death in physicians may be explained by two factors in the wife of a doctor, Dr. Fitz suggested. The young physician is often exposed to acute infections, which, if they do not cause death at the time, may have some relation to the development of degenerative disease later. The older physician is apt to expose himself to the dangers of too rapid a gain in weight. Medical students and interns should be trained to conserve their own health, and should be given health supervision and protection against the hazards of their work, Dr. Fitz urged. Won’t Heed Danger “Those of us past the 45-year mark no doubt will continue on our way regardless of what we should do, putting on more weight than we ought, neglecting vacations and exercise, gambling with fatal optimism that we shall not fall ill, overworking, overworrying and developing arteriosclerosis with the same cheerful indifference as have our predecessors,” Dr. Fitz said. He expressed doubt that the older generation of doctors could be taught to change their ways in order to care for their health.
