vented Miss wills from winning the
I American championship two years
ago but last year Miss Wills turn
ed the tables on her and then
agaiI. proved her mastery over the
former champion by eliminating her
IN the Olynpics.
Miss Wills laurels did not rest

Last week with Mrs. George Wight

the Women's doubles title.
IN winning the singles title,
Miss wills was not forced to ex.
tend herself against Mile VlastO,
the French girl. The latter COM
lIlitted nineteen more errors than
did Miss Wills, and the California
girl was content to display 3
vastly superior service and keep
the French. girl on the run with
forcing shots and sIlappy back
hand or forelland returns.
In only one part Of the match
IN the second set did Miss Wills
display poor brand Of tennis.
She was wild during the first four
games Of the final SETS enabling
the French grill to even up the
count, two all, but that was as far
as Mile. V1asto could go, as the
American champion soon found her
game again and easily won the four
games necessary to clinch the match
and title. The scores In each game
was 60.
Richards had harder time In
{ defeating Henri Cochet The match
was played in a broiing sun and
required five sets. Each displayed
q brand Of tennis that was at times
as erratic as it was brilliant. But
Richards varied assortment Of
strokes and his well known abil.

times earned for him the title.
Cochet did not go down to an ir-
glorious defeat. He made twenty
two more placements than the
American, but he was guilty OF
thirty-five more errors and his de.
feat can mainly be attributed to
that fault. Richards service, more
effective than he had displayed in
some time, aided him. 1t was a

CARTER MAY CONTINUE
 WORK AT TUT'S TOMB
But He Must Agree to Terms Laid Down By the Egyptian
 Government

London, Feb, 1S.--As a result of consultations with legal advisers on the situations arising from Howard Carter's cessation of work on Tut ankhamen's tomb the Egyptian gov ernment has decided that Mir.

The expense of continuing and completing the work Is to be borne entirely by the government, the entire news service in connection with thc tomb is to be undertaken by the government and distributed to the Egyptian and foreign press through press bureau, and in the event that Mr. Carter refuses to agree to these conditions the tomb is to be reopened independently Of him and he would then be free 10 take any legal ac- ton.
 IL is added that there is no legal obstacle 10 the opening Of the tomb by the government as Mir. Carter having broken his agreement, the government is held to be released from it's obligations in the matter.

Danbury, Feb. 1S.-Pietro Vasco, is being sought by the police of this city and the state police for the shooting of George Goetz of KeHt. in the yard of roadhouse in Mill Plain, five miles west of this city early Sunday morn ing. Vasco, hareheaded, fled from the scene of the shooting immediately after the occurrence and although the police traced his footsteps in the snow a mile or more, the trail was finally lost in the woods. Several troopers of the New York state police force are assisting in the search, as the shooting occurred a short distance from the New York state line.
 The body of Goetz was sent today to Bridgeport, where his, relatives live. Thomas Stern, who was also shot by Vasco, is still in a serious condition in the hospital here, but his recovery is expected. His collar bone was shat tered by bullet.

WAR DEBT POLICY
 REMAINS THE SAME
No Action Taken to Remind
 Debtors of Obligations

Washington, Feb. 1S.--The Ameri- can governments war debt policy re- mained unchanged after conference today of the debt commission.
 The commission failed to act on proposals that the debtor governments be reminded again that the United States is awaiting funding proposals.
 The commission issued this formal statement after the two hour meeting:
 The commission is taking all prac- ticable steps to bring about a funding of the entire indebtedness to the United States.
 At the moment certain debtor na- tions have commissions either in this country or expected here shortly for the purpose of taking up questions re- lating 10 their indebtedness, namely Czecho-S -Sloval1ia, Esthonia, Poland and Jugo- Slavia.
 These debts, as well as the other debts together with appropriate pro- ceedings relating thereto, are receiving the constant attention of the commis- sion.
 Members favoring q more positive stand by the commission in the meet ing renewed their proposals for a cir cnlar note to the debtor powers but the suggestion got no further than a general discussion.
 The diplomatic representatives here of Esthonia and Poland have been in communication with debt commission at1i is,;a lc tions, but those officials declined to say how far the discussion had pro- ceeded. The two ministers have been officially designated by their respective governments to conduct the negotia- tions, but neither has yet met with the commission as a whole.
