MOST IMPORTANT PART OF The
DAWES PLAN YET TO BE
CONSIDERED

Iondon-The Dawes plan for rep
srotIons deal Intended to be devoid OF
sentiment and political and national
istic feeling is going through the most
critical period of its existence under
the scrutiny OF experts at work In the
committee rooms in Downing street. 1t
was authoritatively stated that Ameri-
cas- official observer, Ambassador kel-
logg, and his adviser, Col. James A. Lo-
gan, .Ir.. and the prime ministers OF
Great Britain, France and Belgium,
were highly satisfied with the progress
made.
The British are said to be particu-
larly pleased because the deliberations
are keeping close TO the vital purpose
for which the conference assembled
that of adopting broad, sweeping meas
urrS for making the Dawes scheme
workable.
one important phase of the confer
encc work, that Of perfectlng the or
gunizatiOn TO be set up in each cOun-
try for handling the payments to be
made by Germany under the new
scheme was completed and draft Of
the proposals cmbodying the agree
mcnt is ready for the approval of Il
plcnary session of the conference.
Thus third of the work laid out
for the conference has been accom-.
pliShcd within II few hours of Pre-
micr McDonald's formal welcome to
the delegates. But the most optimis-
tic Of the ENJOYS who have gathered
in London to attempt to put an end to
the reparatiOns wrangles Of the last
six years do not suggest that II is the
most important or the most difficult
third Of what is to be done before the
Dawes plan is effected.
II is pointed out that making plans
for receiving and distributing rep
arations was easy sailing, but the
the rocks around which the allied
plenipOtentaries must steer a care
ful course lies behind the two sub
divisions of the conference known as
committees one and two. The first
is dealing with the problem of Great.
ing confluence Tor an international
loan for Germany and the question Of
an American member of the repara-
tions commission as arblter on the
subject of defaults.
Another problem before the com.
mittee Is what penalties to lnflict II
Germany wilfully defaults under the
Dawes schedule.
Committee two, which Is attempt.
ing to devise means to restore the
fiscal and economic unity of Germany
has encountered difficulties, owing to
the French request for assurance that
an international loan, upon which the
whole working of the Dawes plan de.
pends, shall be undcrwritten before
question of German unity is brought
up.

GRANDMA :
CRAZY To !
DANCE
Wife Spends Time in Schools
With Young Man, Asserts
Detective O'Dea

"Even though his wife is a
grandmother she spends most of
her time in dancing schools with
young man." alleges Lawrence A.
O'Dea, detective sergeant at po-
lice headquarters, who today filed
his answer in the District Supreme
Court to the suit of his wife, Mrs.
Edith L. O'Dea for a limited di-
vorce and alimony.
The husband, represented by at
torneys James A. O'Shea and John
I. Sacks, denies every charge of
cruelty made by his wife and de-
clares chat he has never treated
his wife other than a self-respect-
ing husband and father should
treat wife,"
Denies NOn.SuppOrt.
O'Dea also denies the charge of
non-support and says he has at all
times provided his wife with all
the necessities of life and that she
has never wanted for anything.
Defendant says that ''he has en-
deavored to rear his family and
give his children all the comforts
of life"
The whole trouble in their do
nestle relations, according to O'Dea,
Is another man. O'Deaj says that
for the past four years arguments
between his wife and him have dis
rupted their peace of mind and all
on account of the man. The hus-
band declares that conditions be-
came so intolerable that if it were
not for the children he would not
live in the same house with his wife
as long las she behaves in this
manner"
Detective O'Dea says that his
wife has no title to the house in
which they live; that she is simply
holding title for convenience. O'Dea
claims that there is no reason why
his wife should take in boarders,
that he is well able to take care
of her and the family, III she
would change her mode of life"
His wife is not compelled to do
drudgery, according to defendant,
who denies that she has to do
the laundry work for their daughter,
who, on the contrary, pays her
mother $40 a week for room and
board.
Loans Man Car.
Mrs. O'Dea, according to her hus-
band, has a two-car garage in the
rear of the house in which she
keeps an automobile which she
loans to this man, in whose COM
pany she is continually, for his own
use." and also has bank account.
ODea says that he receives a
monthly salary from the police de-
partment of about 5000, and that
he. has no income from the O'Dea
detective agency, which he says is
conducted by his son.
Concluding his request to dismiss
his wife's complaint. O'Dea says
"that he Is endeavoring to hold
his family together, but the attitude
OF the plaintiff has made life dur
ing the past four years one of
NOTture."

LATE,
HOLDING UP

Expect to Hop Off Soon-May
Lose Navy Escort Because
of Fuel Shortage
BY DAVIS j. WALSH,
international News Service.

ON BOARD U. S. S. CRUISER
RICHMOND OFF REYKJAVIK,
Iceland, Aug. 20.-(By Wireless to
International News Service. THE
Richmond arrived too late to allow
Lieutenant Lowell Smith and Lieu.
tenant Erik Nelson to repair their
damaged airplanes and get away to-
day, so the next jump Of the round.
the.world flight was postponed.
If weather conditions permit the
aviators will start for Cape Fare
well, Greenland, tomorrow morning.
Anyway, if the filters want to con.
tinue their epic journey with navy
protection in the icy northern seas,
they'll have to get started within
the next four days. Admiral Ma
gruder, in charge of the navy ships
assisting the filters, announced to
day that the vessels fuel was beini:
exhausted.
Warned by Magruder.
UNLESS the filters are able to taxi /,
off by August a.. said Admira /
Magruder, 'it is probable they will
have to fly without protection from
the navy, because of the need OF
fuel"
In order to facilitate the aviators'
departure, Admiral Magruder plans
to halt the Richmond and send
naval planes ninety miles to Reyk-
javik with repair parts for the
soldiers machines, which were dam
aged when they attempted to hop
off, because of the added weight
from the extra supply of fuel each
carried.
BY dispatching the parts by air,
the admiral said. fuel will be saved
for the ship.
Probing $4,000 BIunder.
An investigation was being made
today to fix responsibility for q
blunder that will cost the navy de.
partment $4,000.
1t is charged that a lieutenant'u
error caused the Richmond to travel
700 miles to take up its station
with the repair parts needed by the
machines, leaving the filters stranded
at Reykjavik.
This futile journey cost $4,000
alone for oil forsthe Richmond, with
proportional amounts for the other
ships involved in the "wild!goose
chase" The net result was to hold
the filters up another two days.
