Portland, Me-, Oct. 22-(AP)-
Charles r. Patterson of New York.
marine artist. print of whose paint.
ing of the frigate Constitution, adorns
every schoolhouse in the United
States, today launched movement
to save the clipper Benjamin f.
Packard. now doomed to destruction
in New York, from Davy Jones' junk

to sleep it's old age away in its ma
tive state. The Benjamin F. Pack
ard was built at Bath in 1888.
Mr.. Patterson, who has associated
with him in the project Harry F.
Baker, one of the largest holders of
realty at Cape Cottage, where Mr..
Patterson is a summer resident, re-
ceived a setback in his plan when the
five service Organizations of Portland
at conference today voted not to
endorse the proposal. on the ground
that it involved an annual outlay for
maintenance in addition to the cost
of purchase.
Mr.. Patterson, however, has receiv-
ed encouragement from business men
and from wealthy summer residents
in his vicinity. He would have the
clipper brought to the state pier here
and would charge tourists small fee
TO help defray the expense Of main
tenance.

CAILLAUX HAS
PLAN FOR SOLUTION
FRENCH PROBLEMS

Paris' Oct. 22-(AP)-The f,nanc;.,
Crisis IN France is expected to come
TO mead with the reopening Of par
lament next week. when M. Caillaux
tne nnance minister. win Introduce
measures by which he hopes IN nro-
vide Tor every eventuality, includiny
the payment of war debts. It will
then be decided whether Socialist
policies shall be introduced into the
French fiscal system.
The Socialist group in the cb.r,h
of deputies is determined to take o.,
aggressive attitude. The SociaIists
VIII demand capital levy to balance
.ne ouoget and provide a fund for the
payment OF Frances debts. to the ex-
clusion of further imitation or in.
creased taxation.
Nj. Caillaux's measure will probably
involve a further limited imitation
with a sinking fund to retire new
pllls, and increased taxation. The
political situation arising from the
confiict OF the opposing programmes
OF the government and part of its
parliamentary majority is so complex
that no political experts risk a fore
cast of the outcome.
The uncertainty as to the future
gives rise to alarming rumors, but
the French nation as a whole, with
undisturbed equanimity, watches the
franc tumble with increasing rapidity
and listens to the threatening reports
of a capital levy. imitation to the
amount of ten billion francs and a
possible cut of from 80 to SO percent
in the interest on government bonds
without trace Of financial stampede.
This is the saving feature of the stu
alton, and the Bourse today, despite
the weakness OF the franc, was firm.
Financial circles still display con-
fidence in Caillaux. but an element of
extreme doubt Is thrown into the sit
uation by the attitude of the Social
lists and the decision of the radical
convention that the government must
rely for support on a coalition Of
radicals and Socialists.
