FOREIGN DEBTS HOLD UP FRENCH POLICIES Must Be Settled First, Says Painleve-Sees Riff
 War Near End

Autun, France, Aug P -- The question of the interallied debts must be settled before France can enjoy full liberty In her foreign policy, Premier Painleve declared in a speech here today.
 The debts between the allies would have been easy to settle during the last months of the war, the premier said, but now "the question is i'm posed upon us in pressing and urgent fashion and in singularly thankless conditions
 He appealed to public option to sustain the government during the delicate negotiations in prospect.
 It would be a crime to fight in Morocco an hour longer than is necessary the premier said, adding:
 The dilemma, however, is inexor- able. We must defend Morocco or abandon all northern Africa and suffer disastrous conditions.
 That would be the end of our colonial empire and the end Of our economical independence. It would end the prestige and influence of France throughout the world"
 NJ. Painleve added that 1t was his firm hope that the beginning of Oc- tober at the latest would see the end of the Riffian war.

 Label, It Is Stated

1 In order 10 continue operations at the Clark Brick yards in East Der 1 lin, 25 non-unon workers have been
 Imported from point in Massac chu-
 sets and these mon will take the
 places left by the strikers two weeks
 ago, according to report today.
 Neither denial nor affirmation of the
 report could be learned from R. 0. Clark. Mir. Clark stated that the
 firm had nothing to say for publica-
 ton and reported that he would not
 say the men had been hder, while
 on the other hand he would not say
 that they had not been engaged. The strikers called attention 10 the fact that the yard had brought in non-unlon men from out of town and one of the union delegates in
 kensington stated that half of this number has left already. This dele gate also informed a representative of the Herald" today that the new workers are carrying weapons around with them as protection against any attempts on the part of strikers to drive them out of their jobs.
 That the strikers will not attempt any violence Is promised and speak, CTS at a mass meeting in Kensington yesterday afternoon again urged the men to carry on their dealings peaccably. The meeting, held on A vacant lot on Farminton avegnue, was attended by about 1,5OO people, strikers and their families
 There were seven speakers on the program, among them being repre- sentative of the American Feder3- ton of Labor, several organizers and John Carbo, the one Berlin brick manufacturer who has agreed 10 recognize the Clay Workers union Representatives of the brick Iayers' union were present and they stated that they will accept nothing but union made bricks. It Is expected that this decision will affect Hart ford and New Britain.
 Recognition of the union Is under CoLslueratlon by officials of the Ccnnley and Purinton Brick com pany at Clayton Crossing, New Brit ain, 1t was stated at that plant today In answer 10 a rumor that the com pany was expected to sign an agree ment within a few hours. An off cial at that plant stated that there has been no decision made in the matter and that 1t Is not yet known whether or not the agreement will be signed. The plant has been fin operation as usual ever since the strike was declared in Berlin.

CELL SHOCK IS PLEA
 IN SCO77'S DEFENSE
Sanity Trial for Con. demned Man Opens in
 Chicago Today

Chicago, Aug. CP>-A new term cell shock will be put into Ameri- can legal and scientific vocabuIaries it the sanity hearing beginning to- day before Judge Joseph B. David saves Russell Scott from the gallows.
 Cell shock" is the term Scotts attorneys have used to describe the mental debility they say he has sui fered since his conviction ten months ago for the murder of Jo- seph Maurer, drug clerk, slain in a. holdup In April, 1924.
 Ten months in the Cook County jail, always beneath the ominous and depressing shadow of the gall lows, are held responsible for Scott's condition, which his attorneys char acterize as insanity of degree plac- ing him beyond the legal reach of the hangman's moose.
 A special venire of 100 men was summoned by Judge David. If his wishes are met, selection of a jury 10 determine the condition of the condemned man will he completed in a day and defense and state alienists will begin Immediately the presenta- tion of conclusions reached in in- tensive examinations of the prisoner last week.
 Scott, once a millionaire business man Of Ontario, and author of books on business ethics, later an actor, and finally principal in the most dramatic effort in the history cf American Jurisprudence to stay the executioner, may not be permitted to appear in the court in which his life is at stake.
 Judge David has ruled that the hearing shall be confined strictly to the question Of sanity. and the prosecution. acting on 3 precedent of several years standing. will seek to limit the proceedings 10 the ex. pert testimony of alienists. Scott's attorneys, however, assert their right to bring their client before the Jury anu PTtpaESO 10 contest IhS point on the ground that no man can be excluded from his own trial.
 The defense alienlsts. as imposing an array as appeared in behalf Of Nathan Leopold. Jr. and Richard Loeb, here last summer and including many who took the stand in their defense are prepared to offer els- borate ohservational data in support Of their conclusion that Scott is in sane. Five state alienists will be called by the prosecution 10 submit the states contention that he is sane. The jury will decide ths question.
 Two nerve specialists from De- troit. pr Jaeoby. head of the De- troit Municipal ssnatorium. and Dr. Reye, sn associate, were added to the list of defense experts yesterday through the last minute efforts ot Scott's wife. Catherine Scott. who remained in Detroit, and Windsor to carry on an eleventh hcur campaign fer funds to save her hushsne's life.

MORE ACCIDENTS ON
 STRAIGHT HIGHWAYS
Motor Review for Conn. Shows Peculiar Road
 Hazards

Hartford, Aug. 3 P}-More auto. mobile accidents happened in Con- necticut on straight highways where the sight line is unobstructed, than on hills or curves or intersections. 1t has been found by new analysis of last years casualties, which has been completed by the state motor vehicle department. Moreover, in the great majority of cases, 1t Is when the road surface is in it's safest condition that accidents occur.
 Out of 20,7S1 motor accidents of- tCials reported during 1924, 10,666 occurred on straight-aWa stretches where the drivers of the colliding cars had q clear view of the ob- tections with which they collided. lnterSecting roads were the scenes of 1895 of the accidents, most of them being due to the face that one or both vehicles, in case of colli- slons between two, approaches the Intersections at speeds too great to be checked upon perceiving the approaching car.
 There were 3,jG6 reports of fault to grant the right of way at street crossings.
 There were 94O accidents on curves. The record shows l,169 cases of driving on the wrong side of the road which resulted in acci- dents. and IF of cutting corners and 26 of passing on curves with similar results. In 1,01O cases, the automobiles involved In accidents were going down hill at the time of the accidents and TO were ascend Ing hills.
 Approximately 17,000 of the 20,- 7Sl accidents occurred on road sur face that was reported by those in volved and witnesses as good"

Paris, Aug. 8 (Pt-The Greek gov ernment has been compelled 10 strengthen it's forces along the Greek Bulgarian frontier owing to recent events along the border, it Is
 learned in well informed circles here. Moves 10 strengthen the border gar rlson were made after the assassna- ton recently of prominent member of the Greek community at Stani- maka, city in southeastern Bull garian near the frontier, and also in anticipation of the evacuation of Greeks still in Bulgaria.
 Between 5000 and 6.000 Greeks remain in Bulgarian territory, and under the voluntary emigration con- Nention and supnlementing agree ments made between Sofia and Athens they should leave Bulgaria hy October 5 after liquidating their property.

 The Greek government has de- manded an indemnity for the vic tim's family at Stanimaka.
 tGreek officials recently charged that systematic efforts were being made In Bulgaria to terrorize Greek residents and compel them to leave immediately. The Stanimal1a mur- der was alleged to have been 8 re- suit of such attempts at terrorism.)

NEW HAVEN ROADS POLICY
 IS TO UTILIZE HIGHWAYS
Vice President Russell An. nounces Plans for In- stalling Motor Coach
 Service to Offset Rail Losses.

Boston, Aug. R,-Arthur P. Russell, vice-president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road and president of the New Eng land Transportation company. re- gently organized subsidiary, today outlined the policy of the New Hav- en road as 1t affects the co-ordina- ton of rail and motor coach high way service in southern New Eng land before the Massachusetts de- partment of public utilities.
 Faces Big Losses
 After pointing out that q consid- erable percentage Of passenger travel has l.u the rails for the high ways and that the New Haven, with increase operating expenses. faces an increasing loss in passenger busi- ness, Mir. Russell said
 Where, In its opinion, either a substituted or supplementary service to that of the rails is re- quired, 1t Is the purpose Of the com- pany, subject to the approval of the department of public utilities and after obtaining licenses from the municipal authorities where required by law, to operate a highway motor coach service and to carry the pub lie which previously used the rais.'
 Plans For Bus Lines
 These bus lines, he said, will be operated as follows: AS an exten- sion of and In connection with rail service, making connections with important trains that may be desir- able in the public interest"
 Parallel with and as feeders to rail service, thus enabling rail serv- ice to be scheduled more radily. For the filling of rail schedule intermis- sions where highway operation is justified but where passenger traffic is too light or freight switching Is too heavy to justify gas rail cars.
 "Tor a highway service connecting with rail service so far as practica- ble. between certain populous centers where the rails handle passenger travel, but between which the con- struction of new or the improvement of old highways has now created a in which the operation of the motor coach offers the only of regaining former revenues now lost, and of more directly con- bining the two forms of transporta- tion."
 $5,OOO,00O Yearly Tax
 "It is only fair" he declared, that the New Haven, which Is taxed an nually $5.o00,000. a substantial part of which Is used to build and main- tain highways, should have the right to use these highways to retain the traffic for which 1t has been built"
