American and
Italian Debt Group
Consider Details

Washington, Nov. 3-(AP)-Mem-
bers of the Italian and American
debt commissions, in the absence of
formal conferences today took adj
vantage of the opportunity to get
more thoroughly acquainted with de-
tails Of problems confronting them
in the effort to reach an agreement
for funding Italy's war debt.
There were unmistakable signs
that members Of the American COM
mission had arrived 1T definite con-
illusions as to the maximum to which
Italy can be expected to go In the
terms. The explanations were that,
in arriving at these conclusions, the
Americans had met with no surprise
in considering the statement of It.
aly's economic and fiscal situation
and outlook submitted yesterday in
connection with statistics independ-
emily arrived at by American ex-
perts.
On the strength of the indications
that there was something Of an I'M
derstanding among both commissions
as to minimum and maximum capa-
city of Italy to pay, reports arose
that the negotiations would require
little time to conclude an agreement.
There was no confirmation OF these
rumors, however, but members OF the
American commission appeared OPP
tinistic that a satisfactory settie-
ment would be worked out.

lie hearing of proposals for revision
OF the law was completed today by
the house ways and means commit
tee, and it will start work tomorrow

While asked by Secretary Mellon
to keep the reductions within total
$3OO,OOO,OOO year, a number of

tonight to go beyond this mark to

II necessary, and the belief persisted
tonight that the committee would
recommend reduction of at least

tax burden.
How the reduction will be appor.
toned among the various forms of
taxes will be among the first prob
lens tackled by the committee in
executive session. Slashes in the
normal and surtax income rates were
said to account for about $50, OOO,-
UOu of the reduction, with the re-
mainder divided among the inheri-
lance tax and the various miscel-
laneous and excise rates, many of
which probably will be repealed"

Traditional Dates
For Commencement
To Remain at BOWdOin

Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Nov.
3.-At a meeting of the Bowdoin
faculty held yesterday afternoon,
President Stills announced that the
executive committee of the Govern
ing Boards had voted on the ques-
ton of whether or not the Bowdoin
Commencement dates would be
changed to fall on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday. The committee voted
in the negative so that for the pres
ent, at least, the traditional Com
mencement dates, Tuesday to Thurs
day will remain. The General
Alumni Association recommended
the change but there were many
reasons which made it inexpedient
this year.
President Stills also announced the
payment recently of the $35, 900
legacy from the late Edward Cham
berlain. 81, of fund of $4,000
from Charles A. Coffin, one of the
heads of the General Electric Com
pany and an honorary graduate of
Bowdoin and of the legacy of $4,000
from the late Bertram L. Smith, 'O3
of Patten to encourage work In Eng
lish literature. He also spoke of the
legacy of the late Anne Johnson
Robinson of fund sufficient to keep
a light burning forever on the Me-
mortal gateway dedicated to her hus-
band, Warren Eastman Robinson,
10, who was killed in France.
The Dean announced the list of
Freshmen who have been warned in
their courses at the first review of
classes. Thirty eight warnings in two
or more subjects and - received
warnings in single subjects. This is
a smaller per centage of the class
than was warned last year.
