Creditors Would
Collect Debts

Bucharest, Rumania, Feb. 16.-Pro-
gress is being made in the matter of
funding the trade debts contracted in
foreign currencies by Rumanian i'm
portcrs during the three years i'm
mediately following the war. Agree
ments were reached in 1928 with
British, Swiss and French creditors
for refunding operations to extend
over periods ranging from 20 to 26
years. Italian interests also are
seeking a method of adjustment but
Belgian, Czech and Dutch creditors
appear to be taking no concerted
action.
Nothing, however, has apparently
yet been done to bring American
creditors as body into touch with
the socalled Commission for Reg
ulating the Payment of Foreign Com
mercial Indebtedness Contracted in
Strong Currencies," which makes it's
headquarters at the National Bank
of Rumania. and of which Mr..
Oromulu, the governor of the Ma
tional Bank, is chairman. Many
American exporters are known to
have substantial claims outstanding,
against Rumanian merchants, and at
tempts have been made by several
of them to have recourse to the
courts for settlement. But form
of moratorium law still is in effect
here, preventing court action by
foreign commercial creditors against
their Rumanian debtors.
Rumanians apparently feel that, if
they are to save many of their most
commercial houses from
they must be accorded
legal protection in the settlement of
their foreign debts. They have an
nounced that they are quite ready to
discuss terms of settlement with the
creditors of any country if they, the
creditors, will get together and ap-
point representatives with power to
act, either independently or with the
cooperation of their diplomatic rep
resentatives in Bucharest.
The foregoing has nothing to DO
with the foreign indebtedness of the
only private merchants
are concerned.

GIRL ADMITS WILD STORY OF
ATTACK WAS PURE
IMAGINATION

After an hour and a halls grilling
by police, l5-year-old Rosina Nc
Neal, who told the police she was
attacked by Negro in the tinsmith
shop of H. w. Shook, 1872 Kicker
street, admitted the attack occurred
merely in her imagination, said Chief
Joseph P. Thompson.
The girl not only admitted the
story to be false, said the chief, but
also admitted stealing the bold Iocket
that disappeared from tray on the
Office safe.
1t was the desire TO possess this
locket that caused the girl to stage
the fake robbery and attack, accord
ing to the story she told between sobs
to Chief Thompson. But fear of being
caught with the locket in her possess
sion, she said, made her throw it down
a sewer. The locket, the property Of
Shocks daughter, has not been recov-
cred.
The McNeal girl who lives at $50
kelker street, has been in charge of
the office at the Shook shop for the
last two days while Mr.. Shook was
busy elsewhere. When her brother.
employed as timer by Shook, and
another workman returned to the shop
shortly after noon recently, the girl
told of a Negro entering the place,
and after learning that she was alone,
attacking her and then taking the
locket.
