U. S. MOVES FOR BIG CUT IN WAR DEBTS Hoover, Leaders of Both Parties Agree to Aid Stricken Germany. SCAN POSSIBLE STEPS British Payments May Be Whittled Down First. Advisors Hint. JOSEPH If. BAIRD tnited Pres* Stal. C or. espondn< WASHINGTON. June 20,-The administration was engaged today In a major effort to help Germany out of the economic mire into which the World war dragged this country’s former enemy. President Hoover is seeking ways to save Germany from the dangers of bankruptcy and political turmoil, and at the same time to stimulate business at home by uncloggmg the channels of world trade. What he will do is not yet known definitely, but fundamental changes In the war’s heritage of debts and reparations may result from a series of White House conferences that the President is holding. Conference Again As Mr. Hoover summoned admin-' lstrative and congressional advisors to the White House again today, two possible courses of action w’ere advised by informed officials: First, and apparently more important, Germany might be aided Indirectly by a readjustment of the British debt to the United States. Britain long has said she would scale down German payments to her in proportion as her own debts were reduced. It is understood that Andrew Mellon, treasury secretary, now in Europe, already has discussed this possible action with Prime Minister MacDonald and Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England. Second, the federal reserve banks might establish a substantial credit here for Germany to tide the Reich over its present financial crisis. Statement Is Issued Mr. Hoover began his conferences on the economic situation Friday, with his efforts “’particularly directed to strengthening the situation in Germany.” To his office came a succession of leading government officials and congressional leaders of both parties. At the close of the busy day, the President issued this statement: "Since my return from the central w’est Thursday, I have conferred with leaders of both political parties who are present in Washington with respect to certain steps which we might take to assist in economic recovery both here and abroad. "These conversations have been directed particularly to strengthening the situation in Germany. No definite plans or conclusions have yet been arrived at, but the response which I have met from the leaders of both parties is most gratifying. "Any statement of any plan or method is wholly speculative and is not warranted by the facts." British Debt Scanned From one high quarter, however, it, was learned that readjustment of Great Britain’s debt was one of the proposals being given serious consideration. Great Britain funded its debts to the United States earlier—and on less favorable terms —than any other European power. The final debt agreement called on Britain to pay $4,426,000,000 as compared with $3,865,000,000 from France. So high is the British interest rate that of its payments up to Nov. 15, 1930. $1,017,360,000 went for interest and only $174,000,000 could be applied to reducing the debt. Thus, it is pointed out, the United States could save Britain millions of dollars each year merely by cutting the interest rate on its loan, leaving the principal untouched. Some observers believe popular objection to reducing interest would be far less than to lowering the principal. Germany Is Cheered F-‘ United Pres* BERLIN. June 20.—Reports that the United States government may take the lead in a movement for revision of reparations payments were received with relief and distinct pleasure in high quarters today. Reports attributed to the White House were considered the first real reward of Chancellor Heinrich Bruening's effort to obtain immediate reparations relief aud halt a nation-wide stampede to the ranks of Fascists and Communists, AIMEE FIGHTS PAYING U.

SCREAMS CAME FROM STARR’S HOME ON DAY SHE VANISHED, NEIGHBOR REVEALS
Police Face New Angle in Mysterious Death of New York’s Beautiful Society ‘Playgirl,’ 'Copyright. 1931. bv United Press) NEW YORK, June 20.—Evidence of “blood curdling” screams emanating from the vicinity of the Faithfull home the day Starr Faithfull disappeared furnished authorities with another angle today in the myriad of clews which have pointed to murder in the drowning of the beautiful Greenwich Village girl. Mrs. Allard Valentine, whose apartment is in the rear of the Faithfull home, separated only by a court, told District Attorney Elvin N. Edwards of Nassau county she heard “blood-curdling screams—the most unearthly screams—in the rear of her home on June s—the day Starr left home in apparently high spirits never to be seen alive again. Finding of her bruised and nearly nude body washed up on the sands of Long Beach, Long island, three days later, led Edwards to declare she was the victim of foul play, despite other evidence which pointed to suicide. New Clew Is Traced Mrs. Valentine told of the screams Friday while the Faithfull family and Inspector Harold R. King were away investigating anew angle in the mystery’. They left headquarters after witnesses called before the grand jury were excused suddenly and King had anonunced he had unearthed a new clew which either would give authorities “a break in solution of the mystery, or put them right back where they had started from.” “I know the screams were on Friday,” Mrs. Valentine asserted, “sometime between noon and 5 p. m., to the best of my recollection. I’m certain about the day because I to keep a diary.” Stanley E. Faithfull. his wife and stepdaughter. Tucker, returned home from their mysterious trip shortly before midnight and denied there had been any screams in their apartment on that day. Father Is Reticent Faithfull was reticent about the trip with King and said that if there were any plans to make an arrest in connection with the case he was unaware of them. Earlier this week Fait’ifull had been questioned about a reported visit to the roof of the apartment house. Faithful admitted taking a mattress to the roof for airing some time that day. He then was a salesman for a rubber mattress firm. Meanwhile Edwards was awaiting the return of Dr. G. Jameson Carr, who was said to be a close friend of Starr, with two letters, one written to him by Starr the day preceding her disappearance and purporting to contain a threat of sui/ide. He is expected to appear, along with other witnesses, before the grand jury on Monday.

CITY TO FIGHT INDUSTRIES ON NATURAL GAS Petition of Factory Heads to Lay Mains Opposed by Committee. LEGAL BATTLE IMPENDS Mayor Says Supply Should Be Distributed Only by Citizens Cos. City legal counsel today prepared to oppose petition of a group of large local industries for the right to lay gas mains in the city and to sell and distribute natural gas to other industries. The petition was filed with the public service commission by the Manufacturers’ Natural Gas Associaton, formed this week by representatives of sixteen industrial plants. Decision to oppose the petition for a certificate of convenience and necessity was reached at a meeting of Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan’s special gas subcommittee late Friday. Extend Time for Bids The meeting originally was called to receive sealed proposals for furnishing natural gas to the Citizens Gas Company, and two were received, but these were returned to bidders when a third company, Universal Gas Company, asked an extension of time. June 29 was set as the new date for receiving proposals. The Universal firm's time extension request was submitted by A. M. Ogle, president of the Ogfe Coal Company, Indianapolis. Tlie two sealed proposals were submitted by the Kentucky Natural Gas Company, from which the manufacturers’ association proposes to buy its natural gas, and by the Columbia Oil and Gasoline Company, said to be a subsidiary of the Columbia Gas and Electric Company. Fight Is Promised Mayor Sullivan, after the meeting, said he and the committee feel that natural gas should not be distributed here except through mains of the Citizens company, which the city is preparing to acquire. It was said that attorneys for the city. Citizens company, and the city utility district would co-operate in opposing the association's fight for a certificate of convenience and necessity. Permit from the works board would be necessary before the association could lay mains in the city connecting pipe lines with the twenty-five local factories which would buy natural gas from it., cityattorneys contend.

POND GIVES UP SECOND THRILL DEATH VICTIM Murder Hunt Is Spurred by Finding Slain Escort of Ohio Schoolgirl. TWO SUSPECTS QUIZZED Sweetheart Offers Alibi for Night of Killings; Quarrel Bared. By United Press LIMA, 0., June 20.—Baffled* by I what they describe as “ a thrill | murder plot,” authorities today ; spurred their search for the slayer of Thelma Woods, 17, following | finding the body of her escort, Earl Truesdale, 21, in the same quarrypond which yielded her body last j week. Two men, the girl’s former sweetheart and tlie quarry watchman, are held for questioning, but officials , admit they have no definite clews. The ex-suitor, James May, 22, has established an alibi for the night of May 29, the night the girl and her escort disapparead after attending a public dance. Evidence Is Slight j Evidence against the quarry watchman is slight, authorities said. A robe, taken from Truesdale's car which was discovered near the quarry, was found in the watchman's possession. Officials regard this as negligible, however, because the watchman reported the car’s presence. Residents of Lima were aroused when it definitely was established that both the girl and her companion were murdered. Truesdale’s body, weighted down with | rocks, was recovered Friday after | the pond had been drained. The body of Miss Woods, although weighted in a similar manner, came to the surface of the pond I last Friday. Both bodies bore marks of violence, but death in i each case was ascribed, as due to ; drowning. The girl and her esj cort were struck on the head with a blunt instrument, and hurled into the pond to die, authorities said. Knew Each Other a Day Insistent demands by John Woods, father of the girl, and Don Truesdale ; of Elida, 0., the boy’s father, forced ! authorities to start draining the pond several days after the car was i found. It v*is at first thought the ; young couple had eloped, but this ! theory was discarded when it was learned they met for the first time ; twenty-four hours before they were reported missing. While Miss Woods has had several ; sweethearts, suspicions centered on May when friends told of a quarrel between the two. May steadily has maintained his alibi story since he first was arrested after the girl’s body was found. Detectives said his story is correct, with the exception of minor details.

New Difficulties Looming for Faithfull Family, as Father Loses Job With Mattress. Firm. iCoDvrieht. 1931. bv United Press' NEW YORK. June 20.—Stanley E. Faithful and his family—their lives shadowed by what they believe was the murder of S:arr Faithfull—faced today an uncertain future, which may hold financial embarrassments that will endure the rest of their lives. Faithfull. not so prosperous as in former days, has lost his position as salesman for a pneumatic mattress concern. Now he is less interested in worrying about making a living for the rest of his life that he is in solving the mystery of his step-daughter’s death. “After Starr’s case is cleared up,” he said, “there will be time to worry about ourselves.” He has a letter frem his former employers, telling him the board of directors decided they would have to sever connections with him, pre- ! sumably because of the publicity connected with Starr’s death. Faces Hard Row Other positions may not be made ! readily available to him. Thus I Faithfull finds himself in a similar ' situation to a man just released ; from prison—anxious to make his j way in the world, but finding obstacles everywhere. The only other possible bread winner is 19-year-old Tucker, Starr's sister —a girl unversed in the realm of commerce and trade. Apt critics have told her she had a flair for illustrating and painting (she spent two years in a Boston art school), but remuneration for a beginner in the art world is scanty. She has had the usual offers that attend extended newspaper publicity—offers from Texas Guinan's representative and vaudeville managers seeking to capitalise the publicity. But such methods are repulsive to the Faithfull family, and Tucker prefers the slow road she will have to travel to artistic success. Live Secluded Life Mrs. Faithfull, frail and of an artistic temperament herself, is unschooled in the world of business, and it is likely that even i f she attempted a commercial career she would be faced with the same obstacles that confront, her husband. The FaithfuUs have lived a se_clu'. * life here and few friends ha\ '•> ~ L-mpted to console them or to oner any form of assistance in their tragedy. They have received a letter from one member of the Phillips family, famous in Massachusetts, to whom Mrs. Faithfull is related. Otherwise their mail has consisted of letters from strangers, most of them in approbation of the Faithfulls attitude toward the case and commending the series of articles which he gave to the United Press in an attempt to clarify the amazing contradictions in Starr’s life, MARTIN J.

Heat Takes Heavy Life Toll; Searing Winds Scorch Crops
By United Press CHICAGO, June 20. —The year’s first prolonged heat wave increased today in intensity, as scorching winds off southwestern deserts swept across vast sections of America, blistering crops, driving thousands to parks and beaches, and striking death to upward of a score of persons. Forecasters in the areas between the country’s eastern and western mountain regions predicted no relief would come sooner than Sunday. Predictions for today were that temperatures generally would equal or surpass the record marks set Friday. From mountain side to mountain side and from the Canadian border to the gulf, temperatures Friday for the most part were above 90 and in some places exceeded the 100 mark. Several score deaths were attributed indirectly to the heat and more than a dozen directly to the record-smashing temperatures. In Chicago, where the maximum temperature was 94, park officials estimated that 360,000 persons swarmed to thirteen ‘closed’ beaches which won’t be opened before July 1. The mercury here matched the
