FRENCH REFUSAL TO AGREE IN FULL TO HOOVER’S PLAN RAISES DEBT HOLIDAY SNAG Parliament Must Pass on Action, and Defeat Is Anticipated, With Hostility Marked. DEMANDS PARTIAL GERMAN PAYMENT Conditional Annuities Will Be Waived, but Unconditional Ones Must Be Turned Over to Paris. By United Press France and Italy accepted President Hoover’s war debt proposal in principle today. France, as expected, attached reservations. The cabinet insisted Germany’s unconditional payments must be made, but it is willing to have the money go back to Germany if the bank of international settlements believes she needs it. The French cabinet’s reply to President Hoover also must be submitted to parliament. It insisted also that the agreement stand only for one year and that the Young plan should not be affected. Italy’s reply, penned by Premier Mussolini, praised Mr. Hoover’s initiative. Great Britain previously had accepted the proposal in principle. Secretary of State Stimson said today that the broad outlines of President Hoover’s debt suspension program would not be departed from.

BY RALPH HEINZEN United Preit Staff Correspondent PARIS, June 24.—The French acceptance of President Hoover's war debts holiday, with reservations, was approved by the cabinet today. It lauds Mr. Hoover’s initiation, but, as expected, insists on continuation of the “unconditional annuities” from Germany as provided in the Young plan. The reply stressed that the government, however, must gain the approval of parliament, because the Young plan was voted a law last year and the cabinet can approve the Hoover plan only “in principle.” The cabinet's defeat in the chamber of deputies is anticipated Friday, when it asks parliament’s approval of its action. Parliament, hostile to the Hoover plan, has Insisted that it be consulted prior to dispatch of any reply to the American proposal. Text to Be Sent Today Text of the French reply will be communicated through Walter E. Edge, United States ambassador, to the state department in Washington later today. The French reply, a summary shows, includes the following salient points: 1. France agrees to waive for one year the conditional annuities,. 2. The entire unconditional annuity of 2,773.000,000 francs ($111,000,000'*, due France must be paid into the bank for international settlements at Basle. The Basle bank is to have sole control over how the $111,000,000 is to be distributed in credits to Germany and other eastern European states requiring financial aid. May Turn Money Back France, in other words, insists on Germany's paying the unconditional annuity during the year's holiday, but is willing to turn that money back to Germany if the bank of International settlements believes Germany or other eastern European countries need it. The Young plan must be continued. the French reply stipulated, but France is ready to waive the conditional annuities for a year, inasmuch as America waives war debts payments for that period. The French government insists that application of the Hoover plan be limited to one year, after which the bank for international settlements will resume usual payments to creditor powers of Germany’s unconditional annuities under the Young plan JUST A BLOOMIN’ THIEF “Grim Reaper” in New Role; Canvasser, Turned Down. The “grim reaper” made his appearance on the north side Tuesday afternoon in anew role—that of a house-to-house canvasser. After he had failed in his sales efforts at the residence of Fred C.

VOLUME 4a—NUMBER 38

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Pres* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. June 24.—The perplexing problem raised by France’s refusal to agree in full to President Hoover’s debt and reparations holiday proposal caused hurried conferences here today, even in advance of receipt of the official text of the French reply. As soon as press dispatches were received reporting the French acceptance as being conditional upon German’s making the able” Young plan reparations payments. Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson and Sir Ronald British ambassador, conferred at the state department. Immediately afterward, Stimson and acting Secretary of Treasury Ogden Mills spent half an hour with President Hoover. “I can say ljothing while these negotiations are going on," Stimson said as he left the White House. May Bring Recessions TCfie question thus confronting the Hoover administration is whether France’s plan sufficiently conforms to the ends in vie ,*/ to warrant Mr. Hoover in receding slightly from the method he proposed, namely complete all around suspension of all payments for one year, with no exceptions. The American decision now is being formulated, but it will not be announced until the official French reply is # received. Meantime, domestic reaction continued favorable to the Hoover plan, on the whole. Replies to President Hoover’s canvass of the entire congress are coming in and are mostly favorable, the White House said today. Only a few are opposed, it was stated. Tabulation of them awaits the complete returns. No Tax Boost No tax increase will be necessary because of any loss of debt payments due to the Hoover plan, according to Will Wood, chairman of the house appropriations committee, following a call on President Hoover. Howard E. Coffin, automobile and airplane manufacturer, told Mr. Hoover that his plan should extend for more than one year, possibly five or ten years. New force has been given President Hoover's proposal by suggestions from the Democratic camp for a political truce. Italy's reservation that Germany must abandon her projected customs union with Austria has thrown a complicating factor in the way. Despite these diplomatic hurdles the administration is hopeful. Harrison Backs Armistice The suggestion for r political armistice came from Senitor Pat Harrison of Mississippi, ranking Democrat on the senate finance committee. “Times like these are like times of war and a political truce should be declared.” said Harrison. “So far as my own feelings are concerned, the public interest will be served best by declaring an armistice on politics, so that these issues may be solved by American statesmen, rather than by American politicians.” Such an utterance, coming from one of the most vitriolic critics of President" Hoover in the Democratic party, was regarded as tending further to reassure Europe as to the probability of congress giving its re- ! quired approval to President Hoover's plan next December. Wants Earlier Congress Harrison would have congress convened thirty days early to consider the matter. He congratulated the President on “The non-par-tisan manner” in which he conducted the negotiations. Because of his great personal Influence inside the Democratic national organization. Harrison’s st:‘2ment was regarded as one of t'.e most significant comments that has come from the opposition party. Newton D. Baker, secretary of war under President Wilson, has joined with Owen D. Young, one of the framers of the existing reparations arrangement, in praising the action of President Hoover, thus placing two of the most eminent Democrats outside of the formal party organization on record behind Mr. Hoover.

BEAUTIFUL AND 18, LIANE FACES CITY WITH BRAVE HEART

Liane . . . just 18 and beautiful. CHAPTER ONE

THE pavement in West Sixty-eighth street burned under the soles of Liane Barrett’s thin shoes as she crossed in the direction of the apartment building she called home. Tall it was, its dirty yellow brick facade laced with the unimaginative detail of innumerable fire escapes. Liane carried a limp paper bag in one hand. In this were the rolls for lunch. The curve of hsr left arm embraced a package containing lettuce, a few tomatoes and jar of prepared salad dressing. Up in the box-like room which served the Barretts as combination living and dining quarters the air had a dead, stifling quality. One of those much-discussed early heat waves had descended on the city before Park avenueites had even contemplated sending their down comforters to the cleaners. 1

The women’s magazines already were printing plenty of information about “lending that summery appearance” to the city apartment, but the Barretts had neither the time nor the money to squander on such refinements of living. The threeroom flat which Liane shared with her mother was sketchily furnished with tables and chairs bought at auction rooms, most of them now disguised with a gallant coat of lettuce green paint, St tt * IT was a brave little place. The chintz at the window hung rather dejectedly like a flag at half mast, but it was easy to see that, when new, its birds and butterflies had been gay. Soot and rain had wreaked a certain havoc on it. Liane. 18, tall and lissome as a young Venus, now’ threw her red hat upon the disguised cot bed, her bundles on the drop-leaf table and herself into a wicker chair. She then announced. “I’m tired!” in a voice surprisingly vital. Indeed, the girl looked amazingly alive on this exhausting day. Her bronze-gold hair, allowed to grow shoulder length, was caught in an engaging knot at the nape of her neck. It curled and scalloped itself about a face the color of a sunkissed peach. Her thin dress fitted her charmingly and, since it was sleeveless, lent an air of fictitious coolness. “I’m dead.” Liane continued, catching up her parcels, and going into the kitchenet. Here she surveyed with some distaste the sink, the tiny cupboard, the stove with its three burners, the battered oilcloth on the shelves. She longed for the Ritz and attentive waiters, for cool drinks in tall glasses—and she had this instead! huh HER mother, sitting at an oldfashioned sewing machine in one corner of the living* room, looked up, sighed, and did not reply. Yards of sleazy yellow, material billowed around her and as she pressed her foot with energy the motor hummed and the yellow stuff resolved itself into a costume. Cass Barrett’s costume, in fact, for “The Mark of Man,” a so-called highbrow drama playing that week at the New Art theater, far uptown. Cass was 45 years old, still slim, still faintly elegant. In a kindly light she could pass for 35. Not at this exact moment, perhaps, in her | faded blue dressing gown with her hair screwed up on top of her head ‘

so that the roots showed dark and the ends unnaturally golden. No, today Cass looked all of her 45 years. But the light was harsh and Cass was tired,, beset by many worries. The summer, bane of the player’s life, yawned emptily ahead of her. Always before this she had managed somehow to pack Liane off to the country. But there was no such ! prospect this year. Now Liane was out of school, out of that convent to which Cass so astonishingly had : managed to send her all these years, and summer in the torrid small apartment stretched before them. Summer with no job in prospect, rent to pay, food to buy. No wonder Cass looked troubled. Her season at New Art was nearly over. She could hear Liane clattering in the kitchenet. The tap hissed and sputtered, drawers were lustily opened and shut, cutlery clattered on an unseen tin tray. ■ Presently Liane appeared in the ; doorway, balancing that tray on one ; hand in burlesque of an experienced j waitress. She said, “Luncheon’s ; served, mother,” and put it down ! noisily on the green table. Cass pushed aside the billows of i yellow cloth and got up stiffly. | “Looks grand,” she yawned, pulling up a shaky chair. “That’s the last of the ice,” Liane complained, shaking a glass of tea. “I’ll have to yell at Tony as I go by this afternoon. “Don’t say ‘yell,’ precious,” Cass demurred. She used the precise diction which usually caused her to be mistaken for an Englishwoman, much to her delight. She had been born in Syracuse. Liane said, “I’ll scream at him then.” “Lordy, I hate to think of that long afternoon at Willabaugn’s,” the girl went on. “My feet do acha so and it is so hard to sell anything to the terrible women who are just looking!” HUH HER mother nodded in sympathy. “I know, my pet. It’s dreadful, but when Mrs. Cronin spoke to me about the part-time work this I week I thought we’d better snatch at it. After all, it’s only afternoons any you can put by a bit of money! for later.” “I know I ought to be glad of the chance,” Liane sighed, sipping her tea. “Somehow I can’t get excited about it.” “You ought to be having tennis and swimming and parties,” Cass murmured resentfully. She spread her hands wide in an expressive (Turn to Page Nine)

dred people are expected to attend the session. Dr. Walter E. Hemphill, league president, called the meeting on request of parents of children who are unable to meet the fee assessments and members of the clubs who have been boycotting use of the park pool. Hemphill tonight will state to the protesters that the 100 members of the boys* club are leading the fight against the pool charges. He said they recently have themselves near the pool recently urging residents not to Jay the fees.

U. $. AVIATORS HOP ATLANTIC; ON TO BERLIN Gatty and Post Make Ocean Dash Without Hitch on Globe Flight. TWO OTHERS OVER SEA Pair Head for Copenhagen Without Lifeboat or Radio Equipment. By United Press HANOVER, Germany, June 24. —The monoplane Winnie Mae, en route to Berlin after its flight across the Atlantic, left here at 7:20 p. m„ afeer a brief halt and a false start. The plane, en route around the world, landed here from Chester, England, at C:4O p. m., and fifteen minutes later started off again. After a five-minute flight the fliers, Wiley Post and Harold Gatty, returned to the landing field for another start. The aviators were near exhaustion. , By United Pres* An American plane conquered the north Atlantic once_. more today, while another was en route across and several other fliers were preparing for an

early start. The most stir ring flight since Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh set out unheralded one morning from New York and came down in Paris, was accomplished by Wiley Post, an American, and Harold Gatty, Australian. Setting out to fly around the

i world in less than ten days, the I two adventurous men dropped i down in England almost casually, had something to eat and started right off again for Berlin and Mos- ! cow. The American aviators reached : the Hanover, Germany airport at 6:40, took off for Berlin again, then returned to the air field fifteen ; minutes later, and landed once more. The appeal of their flight lay in the daring with which they flashed away on each section of their flight, | without tedious waiting for weather i

reports, “mis-; haps” to delay; their flight, or turning back. They left New York early Tues- j day, landed in ! Harbor Grace Newfoundland, in the after noon, stopped only long enough to refuel and set out across the Atlantic. The fliers were off their course and “lost” when they reached the

other side, but thejr were undisturbed. They puttered around, feeling their way, saw some land and then some water, and finally spotted the airdrome near Chester, England. They had no idea where they were, so they decided to come down and find out. “Is this England, Scotland or Wales?” Post asked when they landed. Then he said with a grin: “We are from New York. We just have flown across.” They had lunch, took on some gasoline and waved goodby to the airfield force, expected to be In Moscow before Thursday morning. Head for Copenhagen The second flight in progress was that of the plane Liberty, carrying Otto Hillig, photographer from Liberty, N. Y„ and Holger Hoiriis, Danish flier, en route to Copenhagen. They left Harbor Grace at 3:24 a. m., eastern standard time, and hoped to be in Copenhagen Thursday morning. The plane carried no wireless dr lifeboat. The weather was favorable and in the absence of reports, it was assumed the plane was making good progress over the Atlantic. In New York, Captain George: Endres and Alexander Magyar, Hungarian fliers, were hoping to take off late today from Roosevelt Field, en route to Harbor Grace and Budapest.

According to Hemphill, there were about 300 persons near the pool Monday night, but only fifty actually had paid fees and were using it. Hemphill has estimated the highest pool attendance this season has been seventy-eight. The league also is expected to take steps to prevent children and adults from swimming in Eagle Creek at Barrett avenue. Members pointed out that these persons are in constant danger of drowning, but are unable to meet the city’s assessment [demands.

Pope Hits Again at Fascists By United Press VATICAN CITY. June 24.—The pope protested today against the 1 treatment accorded the Va* can by the Italian government, shortly after the government had delivered its reply to the pope’s latest note. from Naples, who had returned from a pilgrimage to Padua, Assisi, and | Loretto, the pope said: “The situation is bad. Things are | not going normally and today are not tending to return to normal. The present situation is painful and abnormal. Both the pope and the Holy See are not being treated as we deserve to be treated.” The reply was understood to be worded firmly, reflecting against the speech of Pope Pius XI last Saturday, criticising the Fascist “soying” on the Asione Cattolica, lay : organization. The note refused to deplore further the demonstrations against the pope, and refused to re-open the | youth branches of Azione Cattolica j 'R’Wch the government had closed.

TWO CENTS <&“•

| The other men, one posi- ! tively identified as one of the bandits, is an escaped convict from a Kansas penitentiary, j who fled as deputies closed in on the trio in the Kansas city. Both Police Chief Mike Morrissey and Detective Chief Fred Simon said they had definite identification of Hamilton as the man who fired the automatic that mortally wounded the 68-year-old chain stores owner. Will Be Returned Here Immediate steps are being taken i for Hamilton’s return to Indian- ; apolis to face charges of first-degree | murder. Detectives Ed Glenn and John Marren, who have been working on the slaying case since Jackson fought the gun battle with the slayers, will leave today for the Kansas town to return the alleged I slayer. According to information received by Simon in a long distance phone conversation with deputy sheriffs at lola following receipt of j the wire. Hamilton is wounded in i the shoulder and abdomen. Deputies told Simon that the murder suspect told them he was ' hurt in an automobile crash. Won’t Name Companions The slayer suspect would not reveal the names of his companions, but Kansas officials said they are positive one of the duo that fled, is the man who was armed with a shotgun while his companion opened gunfire on Mr. Jackson. This bandit has been identified by Detective Charles E. Bauer as the man who wheeled on him as he entered the store and fired a shotgun blast at his head, Bauer recently recovered from the wounds. Additional attempts were mado to get in touch with Sheriff Harley by phone, but he will not return to his office until this afternoon, Indianapolis police were told. Left Here Recently Hamilton and his companions, one of whom is an Indianapolis man and close friend of the escaped, convict from the Kansas penitentiary, have been in Indianapolis until the last seven days. They left here in a car which was used following the slaying to pick up the driver of the stolen car used in the shooting when the latter auto was abandoned on Concord street. The trio hid in a booze joint in Mars Hill near the Holt road after the shooting and. at one time, detectives were within forty feet of the house. The suspects spotted the detectives’ car and fled the house. Police declined to reveal who had named Hamilton as the alleged “trigger man’’ or from what source the information came that led to the pursuit for Hamilton and his companions.

Positive of Guilt However, Morrissey said “we are positive Hamilton is the man who fired the shots.” Arch Ball, police department ballistics expert, said two bullets, one from the gun of Bauer and the other from the revolver of Detective Edward Deeter, under examination, showed they had pierced human flesh. Three men were involved in the shooting. Two entered the store and commanded employes, Mr. Jackson and his son, Chester Jackson, to raise their hands. The other was at the wheel of the auto, stolen several days before in Shelbyville Chester Jackson recently told county authorities that he believed the gunmen came to murder Mr. Jackson, although robbery first was thought to have been their motive, as the money car of the company was due to arrive a few minutes before the gunmen entered.
