WAR SHADOWS AGAIN HANGING OVER EUROPE French Officials Charge Germany Quietly Is Getting Ready. HITLER VIEWED MENACE Reichwehr Only Is Training School for Officers, Asserts Senator. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS KrripDi-Howjrd Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—The reparations and war debts deadlock now imminent between Germany and the allies on the one hand, and the allies and the United States on the other, is brimming with sinister possibilities. Reports from Germany indicate that she is playing for big stakes—for cancellation of reparations, pure and simple—and is prepared to take the consequences of failure. In a desperate effort to prevent being overthrown by Herr Hitler and his war-like Fascists, Chancellor Bruening has taken one of Hitler’s principal planks and is using it to bolster up his tottering regime. Germany can pay no more reparations, he has boldly stated, and • his the French take to mean the beginning of an open attack on the treaty of Versailles itself, and an effort to restore the eastern frontiers to their pre-war status Charge Willful Default On top of this, high French officials charge that Germany is wilfully in default and that she has been spending vast sums of money in secret preparation for a war of revenge against France. Instead of paying reparations, it Is alleged, Germany has been building vast airports, chemical works, factories capable of turning out airplanes, tanks, high explosives, deadly gases, and so on, and training hordes of officers to take command of troops trained under the guise of marching clubs, athletic associations and the like. Senator Burgeous just has reported to the foreign affairs commtitee at Paris that the reichwehr —the army of 100,000 allowed Germany under the treaty of Versailles —is used to train officers as was done in Prussia following similar restrictions placed upon Teutonic troops by Napoleon. By intensive methods, officers quickly are turned out in vast numbers to make way for more. On Eve of Elections Such is the feeling in France on the eve of her national elections. These are expected to return a nationalistic legislature. Premier Laval has the reputation of concealing a fist of steel inside a velvet glove, and Andre Tardieu, minister of war, is a disciple of former President Poincare, who invaded the Ruhr, and of the late Marshal Foch who never ceased to insist that the Rhine is France’s natural frontier. Across this historic waterway, in Germany, nationalism is rampant and still growing—if there are any more Germans left to convert to the cause. To the last man, woman and child, Germans have come to accept the agreeable Hitler doctrine that the treaty of Versailles means slavery; that reparations are intolerable; that all their woes, economic and political, are due to the war settlements, and that these must be abolished. France Is Big Hate In this spirit, Germans today are facing the allies in general and France in particular. France is their big hate. Italy and Britain both favor treaty revision, but France remains adamant. Like France, Germany shortly will hold her national elections. And Hitlerism, if not Adolf Hitler himself almost certainly will sweep the nation. Two increasingly belligerent powers, therefore, now face each other threateningly astraddle the Rhineland. In the face of all this, the war debts position of the administration at Washington is like that of a straw in a whirlwind. Its thesis continues to be that the * $22,000,000.000 war debts, principal and interest, has nothing to do with Germany’s $28,000,000,000 reparations payments. But if and when the European cyclone begins to blow, the straw of Washington's desires, it is predicted, will be wafted whither the wind from overseas listeth. INSURANCE DAY SALES IN CITY SET RECORD More Than Three and a Half Million Dollars Is Written. Exceeding by more than a million dollars, the most optimistic predictions of insurance agents, the Insurance day drive of Indianapolis agencies resulted in the writing of nearly three and a half million dollars of insurance, it w r as announced today. Mansur B. Oakes, president of the Insurance Research and Review Service, 123 West North street, said that incomplete returns this morning showed 700 salesmen in the city wrote policies on 2,203 individuals, representing a total of $3,739,128. The one-day drive was conducted Wednesday, beginning with a breakfast in the Chamber of Commerce. Amounts of policies written ranged from SIOO to $60,000 Oakes said. Oakes said the sales set an alltime record for cities of comparative size.

The Day in Congress

Bt United press The Chilean embassy in Wash- | ington has received a sixteen-page j note from Luis Izerquerdo, mini ister of finance of Chile, replying ! to questions asked by Senator Johnj son (Rep., Cal.) regarding organizaI tion of the Chilean nitrate monopoly. Johnson requested the questions be answered in connec- ; tion with the senate investigation of foreign loans. Embassy officials said that the finance minister, in his reply, answered all questions asked by Johnson in a straight-forward manner. The senate finance committee decided to have open hearings, beginning Saturday on the Democratic tariff bill, which transfers from the President to congress authority to make rate changes on recommendation of the tariff commission. It has been passed by the house. Senator Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.) offered as an amendment a provision which would enable the tariff commission to transfer articles and commodities to and from the free list. This would open the way to imposition of tariffs on oil, copper and other free list commodities. Democrats on the committee refused to countenance this proposal. Assistant Secretary of States Wilbur C. Carr advised the senate immigration committee today against passage of a bill introduced by Senator King (Dem., Utah) to provide for deportation of alien seamen illegally entering the United States. Carr said ten nations had protested against the measure. Failure of the house to appropriate the necessary funds because of the government’s present strained fiscal condition was said today to be delaying between $75,000,000 and $80,000,000 worth of public building construction. Testimony regarding the delay was given the house labor committee by Ferry Heath, assistant treasury secretary in charge of building construction. Seibel Harris, chairman of the Grange committee on national affairs, said before the house agriculture committee today that without speculation wheat prices would drop from 10 to 15 cents a bushel. Harris, testifying at the hearing on a possible curb on short selling, added that he knew of no legislation which would aid the commodity market. He said that correction of bear raids on the wheat market could be accomplished by legislation already enacted. The cigaret smoker had his day before the house ways and means committee today, when tobacco interests registered a vigorous protest against Secretary Mellon’s proposal to increase cigaret taxes. Increased taxes would cut consumption and reduce ’ government revenues from this profitable source, it was argued by Junius Parker, New York, representing the Tobacco Manufacturing Association of the United States. Representative Crosser (Dem., O.), introduced in the house today a resolution which would authorize the interstate commerce commission to investigate the possibility of applying the six-hour day to all railroad labor. An identical resolution is being prepared by Senator Couzens (Dep., Mich.), for introduction in the senate. Reports that the house would evade a vote on prohibition at this session of congress were denounced on the floor today by Representative O’Connor (Dem., N. Y.), who said that the anti-prohibition bloc has “assurances” that opportunity would be given for roll call. O’Connor said there would be a vote on the repeal amendment, providing home rule for the states to be submitted on referendum, and on modification of the Volstead act. FUNERAL MONDAY FOR MRS.

NEW BILL AIDS DEPOSITORS IN CLOSEDBANKS Sweeping Revisions in Laws Provided in Measure Offered by Glass. LIMITS STOCKS DEALING Liquidating Corporation Is Set Up Inside Federal Reserve System. BY LYLE C .WILSON United Press Corresoondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Relief for depositors in closed banks, and sharp restriction on leakage of federal reserve credit into stock speculation are provided in a bill introduced by Senator Glass (Dem., Va.). The banking and currency committee discussed the bill briefly today and decided to give the measure precedence over all other committee matters. Hearings will be resumed Monday and senators expressed the opinion the bill would be reported to the senate next week. Glass proposes sweeping revision of the banking laws to provide “safer and more effective use” of federal reserve and national bank assets. The bill would appropriate $200,000,000 from the treasury to aid depositors in closed anbks. Also Temporary Relief A liquidating corporation would provide permanent machinery to aid depositors in closed banks of the federal reserve system, and immediately temporary relief for nonmembers. Member banks would be limited strictly in lending for stock market operations. National banks would be authorized to engage in state-wide branch banking in states which permit such operation. But branches outside a bank’s home city would be limited to parent banks with $1,000,000 capital stock. Security affiliates of .banks would be subjected to strict examination and some supervision, and a bank could lend to such an affiliate not more than 10 per cent of its capital and surplus. Requirements for operation of group or chain banks are established, including a provision for examination. Groups and chains would be required to rid themselves of stock or bond issuing units, and holding corporations of chains would be obliged to establish funds with which to meet the double liability of stockholders in the event of failure. Create Market Group The bill would create an “open market committee” to supervise such federal reserve operations. All future foreign business of federal reserve banks would be subject to prior approval of the federal reserve board. Many existing restrictions on national bank operations would be removed by the bill and the national institutions would be enabled to perform practically all banking operations now performed by state banks. In addition, national banks would be enabled to charge discount rates equal to state rates, or 2 per cent above the federal reserve rate in order at all times to make • discounting profitable. The liquidating corporation for closed banks is set up inside the federal reserve system. Member banks would receive 30 per cent of its profits, and the remainder would accrue to the revolving fund, to which the banks would be required to subscribe. EVIDENCE DISAPPEARS; CHARGE IS DROPPED Woman Freed on False Pretense Count in Bakery Deal. Because bakery machinery can not be found, a charge of obtaining moneV under false pretenses against Mrs. Ella Schmidt, 834 Union street, was dismissed by Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron today. She was arrested recently after Harry Caston, 909 Union street, charged she had sold him S3OO worth of bakery equipment which she did not own. In court, Harry Schwartz, operator of the bakery, admitted the articles sold by Mrs. Schmidt belonged to her but he had removed his equipment, leaving that which was sold to Caston. Both Caston and Schwartz admitted it disappeared a few days later and Mrs. Schmidt denied knowing whereabouts of the equipment.

a transfusion and her father was believed the only person whose blood would be suitable. When Ogitis arrived at the jail he was told of the need Immediately he was started for Pottsville, 150 miles away. A police escort awaited the car in Philadelphia and escorted it, sirens screaming, through the city. Ogitis arrived after a four-hour trip. His blood was tested and found to be the right type for the transfusion. But Evelyn had shown considerable improvement and physicians decided not to perform a transfusion unless absolutely necessary. If she continues to improve, they said, she will,not need the operation. * I

AURORA CALLS BUSINESS HALT Step Taken to Forestall Run on Banks. By United Press AURORA, 111., Jan. 22.—A fiveday moratorium on business and manufacturing was proclaimed by Mayor Conrad N. Bjorseth today, although Aurora has weathered the financial crisis in the Chicago metropolitan area without a bank failure or run. Mayor Bjorseth issued the proclamation after conferences with bankers and business leaders which started Thursday night and lasted until 3 a. m. today. The city’s leaders, agreed to the plan, praising it as a means of stabilizing business conditions. In the vicinity of Aurora, two banks in Joliet, one in Elgin and several in other communities have closed recently. All manufacturing plants will shut down, the city’s five banks will close their doors and among business houses, only newspapers, public utilities and food stores will remain open. The suspension will be effective for five days, under Mayog Bjorseth’s plan. When a similar innovation was ordered at Urbana, after bank failures, business was ordered resumed before the fiveday period expired. Business leaders will take advantage of the breathing spell to senfl teams of men throughout the community, urging bank depositors to leave their savings untouched, and to deposit hoarded money. CIGARET THIEVES CUT THROUGH STORE ROOF Stock Worth SSOO Stolen From North Side Warehouse. Cutting through the roof of the Schnull & Cos. warehouse at 2131 Northwestern avenue, early today, burglars hauled away cigarets valued at $503. Added loss, estimated at several thousand dollars, was caused to tobacco stores by rain seeping into the warehouse through the hole In the roof, according to John Perkins, manager. The burglary is the sixth there recently. The burglars first attempted to gain entrance by breaking a skylight, but failed because bars had been installed. They then sawed a hole in the roof to permit passage of the loot. Tracks of a truck, apparently used by the thieves, were found near the building. gold’secret claimed Professor's F jrmula to Take Metal From Earth Interests Bankers.

Drys Jubilant at Defeat of Bingham Bill By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. —Prohibitionists announced today that they still hold Capitol Hill. The 55 to 15 senate defeat Thursday of the Bingham referendum resolution was acclaimed by Senator Sheppard (Dem., Tex.), author of the eighteenth amendment, as proof of dry numerical superiority in congress. “It was a test case,” Sheppard told the United Press. “After the usual debate, the vote showed the usual overwhelming dry majority. It showed a majority of almost 4 to 1. Other tests will show the same result.” Wets were not inclined to agree with Sheppard. They were sorry that the first prohibition vote of the session had to come on the Bingham resolution. At heart many wets were not in favor of it because of its unusual nature. It proposed to inform the states that the senate would welcome any action on their part looking toward state referendums. PAY SLASH FOUGHT County Surveyor Files Suit to Restore Old Salaries. Refusal of the county council to rescind the reductions made last fall in his employes’ salaries, today had brought a suit from County Surveyor Bruce Short to force payment of salaries upon the basis existing prior to the cuts. Short filed the suit in superior court five shortly after the county council had refused to restore salaries to numerous county employes to the higher level. Only restorations made by the council were those which the body -was mandated to replace. The suit seeks to force Charles A. Grossart, county auditor, to pay the deputy $2,400, instead of $1,890, as appropriated by the council for 1932. It also asks that $2,610 be added to salaries of other deputies.

AGREEMENT NEAR ON RAIL PAY CUT

BY JOHN B. MILLER United Press Staff Corresoondent CHICAGO, Jan. 22.—A 10 per cent reduction and employment stabiliaztion in the twenty billion dollar rail industry will be effected today or Saturday, leaders of capital and labor in conference here expected today. David B. Robertson, general chairman of the railway labor executives’ association, denied, however, reports that an agreement actually had been reached. He said such rumors were purely speculative. “There js absolutely no basis for the report’ in today’s press that an agreement to accept the 10 per cent wage reduction has been reached,” he declared. “It is obviously a case of a guess without any foundation. We have | not accepted the wage reduction to date.” Representatives of 1,900,000 union workers and 210 class A railroads expressed confidence that harmony had been reached. Daniel Willard, white-haired president of the Baltimore & Ohio.

PLEADS CUT IN GOVERNING COST Grain Men Praise Denial of Special Session. Demand that governmental costs be reduced if there is to be any relief from taxation was made by B. W. Snow, crop statistician of Chicago today. He spoke on “America at the Crossroads” at the closing session of the thirty-first annual convention of the Indiana Grain Dealers’ Association in the Board of Trade building. “All governmental costs have increased 330 per cent in the last fifteen years,” Snow said. “Where is it going to stop, or will we all be made barnkrupts before the end?” Resolutions adopted demanded: Rigid economy in government, ■ a halt in the work of perfecting a waterways systems because of damage to railroads, no further federal marketing acts and interference with grain futures. Governor Harry G. Leslie was commended for refusing to call a special session of the general assembly “because of the costs of such a meeting.” O. L. Barr, Bicknell, was re-elect-ed president of the association and W. D.- Springer, Indianapolis, was named vice-president to succeed D. P. Simison, Romney. DITCH TO BE CLEANED TO RELEASE HIGH TIDE Gimber Street Flooded; Children Ferried Over Water to School, Steps to relieve flood conditions near the 1200 block Gimber street, were taken today by the works board following numerous appeals from residents of the vicinity. City school officials today notified the board that it was necessary to ferry school children across thi street in a car because of water running over the street and sidewalk. Many residents reported flooded basements. The board ordered Wilbur H. Winship, street commissioner, to have a drainage ditch in the vicinity cleaned to permit the water to flow away.

promised on behalf of the committee of nine rail executives that the roads accepted in “good faith” the union request for stabilized work. Chairmen of twenty-one major unions immediately conferred with 800 colleagues representing minor labor organizations, to determine if this pledge fulfilled their demand. Willard explained the executives did not believe it possible to guarantee employment at the 1930 level throughout the industry, because of vastly changed conditions. He pointed out, however, that impetus of a 10 per cent wage reduction would go far toward restoring employment to normal. The reduction is imperative if many of the roads are to avoid bankruptcy and prevent interest defaults affecting $50,000,000 life insurance holders and 12,000,000 bank depositors, Willard declared. On several points the executives i and labor chiefs have “agreed to disagree.” These include the billion , dollar grade crossing elimination bond issue and the question of raill consolidations ands co-ordination of i train crews and Rngths.

Work or Allowance, Each Has Its Points in Home Training, Mothers and dads! What are your children? Sure, they may be Johnnies or sJarys, imps or angels, but what are they from the juvenile finance standpoint? Are they “Gimmes,” “Work-For-Its,” “Budgeteers,” or “CoinCounters”? A “Gimme” is a boy or girl who receives money from his parents for pencils and candy upon uttering the one word, “Gimme.” The “Gimmes” are given money willynilly without regard to allowance. The “Work-For-Its” are children who shove the carpet sweeper, cany out the ashes, and mow the lawn for their spending money. No More, No Less The “Budgeteers” receive a weekly allotment of coin of the realm — no more, no less. While the “Coin-Counters,” hybrid ’’Budgeteers,” are taught the value of money with allowances of odd nickles thrown in now and then for odd jobs about the home. Four city mothers, members of the Parent-Teachers’ Association of Indianapolis, were found who represented the four systems of boosting the sales of all-day suckers and school tablets. Mrs. R. H. Stone, 2614 Broadway, defends the “Gimme” scheme as best for her Mary, 8, and Raymond, 6. No Allowance Plan “When they want anything they just say, ‘Mon give me a nickle for a pencil.’ Os course, they have banks and are given pennies to put in, but the pennies are not based on a regular allowance plan,” Mrs. Stone said. The lance of the “Budgeteers” is taken up by Mrs. C. E. Sunthimer, 2344 College avenue, for her Mary Ethel, 13; Charlene, 8, and Maxine, 7. “Each of my daughters is budgeted for the week. “For instance,” she continued, “Mary Ethel receives $2.05 a week; Charlene, 61 cents; Maxine, 21 cents. Why the odd cents? Well! take Charlene’s weekly budget. She receives 50 cents to pay her piano lesson, 9 cents for her magazine, 2 cents to put in the Sunday school plate.” Use Register Banks Cash register banks are used for savings by the Sunthimer children. The “Work-For-Its” have a champion in Mrs. O. H. Gripe, 5402 East Washington street, and her children, Richard, 13; Allen, 11; Norman, 10, and John, 3. “My boys are paid for tasks about the home. Say John and Norman carry out the ashes; well, then they are each paid 10 cents for the job. Lawn mowing, going to grocery, helping about the house, are other jobs for which they are paid. “Then Richard carries papers, and the other boys magazines. As soon as one of my sons is old enough, he is taught to work. I believe it’s a splendid way to teach them the value of money,” she says. Last, but Not Least And last, but, as usual, not the least of these Ways of teaching the value of the depression dollar, are the “coin counters” as typified by Mrs. Matt Carpenter, 1163 North Holmes street. Mrs. Carpenter believes in teaching her two sons, Robert, 8, and Thomas, 6, the exact monetary purchasing power of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. So she allots “Tommy” always five pennies, a nickel and one dime, while Robert learns the higher money values as he receives onehalf dollar and one quarter for his music lesson in addition to an allowance like “Tommy’s.” “My boys have pocketbooks to keep their money in. And as bad as I need their change sometimes for the grocer or the milkman, I never open the pocketbooks unless I ask them for permission to get the change, and then they jget the change for me.”

JAPAN PEACE MENACE, SAYS VONLUCKNEP Famous German Sea Raider Thinks U. S. Should Be World Policeman. HITS VERSAILLES PACT Brands It Greatest Error o. : All; Hindenburg Is ‘Only Leader.’ “Japan is a menace to world peace,” cried Count Felix von Luckner, the famous German “Sea Raider” of the World war. and paused as his secretary turned him half around this morning to get him into his vest. “You’ve got twenty-five minutes before you leave to make your lecture,” reminded the secretary. I Von Luckner, preparing to go to English’s to deliver his speech before the Town hall audience, grunted and pulled at his vest. He waved his pipe wildly. “They babble about world peace." he cried, "and then they let Japan run wild all over Asia. “Japan and France are the two nations causing the world's unrest. They’re not satisfied with what they i have. How can the world feel !safe?” He’s Human Dynamo • His secretary tucked his tobacco pouch into his hand, and the count waved it above his head. Von Luckner is a human dynamo. His whole room seemed filled with electricity as he walked around in circles waving his arms. “The Versailles treaty is the greatest mistake of all,” he roared. “Germany is entirely willing to pay her war loans, but that atrocity, the Versailles treaty, is filled with poison—poison that can strangle an entire nation. “What’s the matter with Germany? That treaty and the lack of leadership. Praises Hindenburg “How many leaders has Germany? One—that great old man— Von Hindenburg. Bruening—bah! Hindenburg, that great old man, needs a rest, he deserves a rest. But will they give it to him? No! Whom have they to take his place? Nobody! “What this world needs is one nation with a big club. The pacifists who want to reduce your army are all wrong. What the United States ought to have is a standing army that will be the monument of peace. “Take this Manchurian thing. Japan rushes into China. All the United States would have had to do was step up and roar across the sea. Just Like Policemen “They would have stopped. They would have had to. You need an army just like you need policemen; an army that would hank like a club over the nations of the world to enforce peace. Militaristic? Sure, but it would make real peace, wouldn’t it?” Von Luckner unconsciously feinted with his left. His right landed hard on the reporter’s shoulder. The interviewer rocked on his feet momentarily. “Those islands over in the Pacific taken from Germany and given Japan—the Carolines, the Marina islands and the Paulau islands—what are they but bases? The bases by which Japan will control all oi the Asiatic shoreline. The bases from which Japan can attack the Philippines. That’s what Japan wants—the Philippines.” Von Luckner put on his coat and waved his pipe again. Subs and Planes “The next war? Submarines and airplanes. Why not the submarine? It will be the most effective of all the sea craft. The giant battleship is done with, it’s obsolete. All a navy needs is fast cruisers and airplane carriers. Plenty of them and plenty of submarines. “The next war? There won’t be any if some big nation would have the nerve to equip a monster army and advertise to the world that that army guarantees peace. That will end war. The big club. I’m for it.” His right landed again, and the interviewer rocked again. He tucked his sea cap on his head his pipe between his teeth. “Wipe out the Versailles treaty, he cried, “then you’ll see the first signs of peace.” WOMAN SEEKS COURT REPORTER NOMINATION Miss Emma May, Terre Haute, Bids for Democratic Honor, Miss Emma May of Terre Haute, president of the Indiana Women’s Democratic Club, today announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination for reporter of the supreme and appeallate courts, in a telegram to The Times.
