Taxpayers Of the United States
are maintaining the $1,000, ,OOO. .0OC
unfunded foreign debt at a cost Of

it was learned at the treasury
today.
The unfunded foreign debt re-
presents about one-third of the total
public debt of the United States.
Just what amount would be
saved to the taxpayers by fund
ing of the debt depends upon the
terms given to foreign debtors, 1t
was pointed out. The government
is paying Az per cent on Liberty
Bonds which were sold to raise
money to finance the Allies during

mission will make a vigorous effort
to bring about the funding OF the
foreign debt before the commission
goes out Of existence, February 3,
1925. Should debts remain un-
funded at the expiration OF the
commissions term 1t Is expected
congress will be asked to extend it.
Overtures Expected

ury officials believe that overtures
looking to debt settlements will be
received from most Of the European
creditors. Already, 1t was stated,

SOVIET TO JOIN
 IN RADIOCASTING
Models Are Sought For Home Receiving
 Sets

MOSCOW, July 29.--(By Associated Press. )-Soviet Russia will join the United States and other countries in broadcasting news, speeches and enter tainment programs to the public, and the council of commissisars is expected shortly to issue Q decree licensing home receiving sets.
 The government will allow radio users to construct their own receiving sets and will undertake to manufac- ture apparatus for several millions. It will require a new Industry and pro vide work for the state factories which are now running at reduced capacity. Engineers, electricians and the general public are invited to submit models of home receiving sets, costing not to ex- ceed $15.
 s JJp to the present time the govern ment has confined the broadcasting of official speeches and similar matter to the various provincial soviets, branches of the Rogta News Service and com munistic party organizations through ont the country, which embrace more than 300 receiving stations. There are forty sending stations in Russia, eight of which have radius of 2,000 miles, or more each. The government is com uleting a powerful receiving station at Lioubertzv, the site of the Interna- tional Haryester's plant, near Moscow.
 At present Moscow listens regularly to Arlington, Annapolis and the pow erful Long Island stations. The sig ngls from these are extraordinarily dis tinct. although Canadian stations are heard only feebly.

HOLLISTER, N. O., July "A searching party early tonight found the bofy of A. L.. Joyce, public chauf- feur, who was robbed and slaln cat- urtIay night, in Fishing creek, near Wolietts bridge. Joyner had been shot three times, twice .inl the back and once in the mouth.

GRAIN OFFICIALS
 ARE SUSPENDED
 BY TRADE BOARD
Head Of Armour Com pany Involved In Kan
 sas City Row

KANSAS CITY, July 29.-The Kansas City board of trade today sus- pended W. B. Lincoln, local manager of the Armour Grain company, and George B, Marcy, of Chicago, president of the company, from membership in the board for misrepresentation of wheat re- ceipts." Lincoln was suspended for 10 days and Marcy for 60 days.
 The board charged that warehouse receipts for grain were rewritten, and lists of grain receipts loaded out and unloaded, submitted, after which the re- ceipts were cancelled and new ones is- sued for number 2 grades of grain. The effect was that wheat receipts called for higher grades of wheat than actually held in the elevators.
 $40,O0O Is Difference
 The difference in value of wheat called for on the warehouse receipts and that in the elevator was between $4O,- OOO and $50, 900, the Board of Trade al- leges.
 The alleged discrepancy was first dis covered in the secretary's office of the Board of Trade. An official weigh-up reinspection of the entire elevator then was ordered by officials of the board. This revealed that only about one-half of the wheat in the house graded No. 2 hard, the balance being lower grades, worth less than No. 2 hard wheat.
 The average price of wheat in the elevator was about three cents a bushel under the average price of the graip called for in the warehouse re- bceipts, the board alleges.
 Others Are Cited
 The following members of the Armour Grain company, who also are members of the Board of Trade, were cited to ap- pear before the board of directors of the exchange this afternon: George E. Marcy, of Chicago, president; W. B. Lincoln, of Kansas City, manager; J. A. Theis, assistant manager; W. W. Leeds, pit representative.
 Theis and Leeds were exonorated of the charges immediately after the sis sion conveney. Marcy did not attend, but sent H. c. Pohlzon, secretary of the company to represent him.. He was not, however, admitted to the meeting.
 It was disclosed at the meeting that the loading in and out of the elevator never was performed and that fictitious car numbers were not detected by the Kansas state grain inspection and weighing department, board officials said.
 This in no manner impairs the valid .ity of the warehouse receipts, it was pointed out by the directors. The Armour Grain company and all other regular Board of Trade elevators have on deposit at all times bond for ten cents bushel on the capacity of their house, In the case of the local Armour plant this amounts to one half million dollars, it was pointed out.
 Mir. Lincoln made this statement to- night: The Armour Grain company would not knowingly violate the rules and regulations of the exchange. It did not do so in this instance. The usual method of handling grain was employed. "It was a matter of inter , office accounting. We had no re- ceipts out on the market The house would have loaded out as No. hard wheat all the grain that the receipts called for"
