Mr.. Letter and his wife and the

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 24.-The de-
cision giving Gene Tunney the victory
over Jack Dempsey stands, and the
State Athletic Commission "will not
consider q reversal" John c. Rig
heimer, chairman of the commission,
declared in a statement today.
Mr.. Righeimer's statement appar-
emily closed the door to any further
possibility of action on a protest by
Leo P. Flynn, Dempsey's manager.
The commission made it clear that it
would give either Flynn or Dempsey
hearing at any time on any score,
but 1t was equally clear that the box
ing commissioners had no idea of re-
versing the verdict given at Soldier
Field Thursday night.
Mr.. Righeimer's statement follows:
LAS far as this commission is con.
cerned, the bout was conducted in
accordance with the law and the rules
as promulgated by the commission.
together with instructions to the
referee and timekeepers before the
bout, and such instructions were given
to the managers and contestants in
the ring before the bout started by
the referee. Therefore, the decision
as rendered will stand and this COM
mission will not consider a reversal
of said decision"
1t was said at the office of the COM
mission that no further word had been
received from Flynn relative to
further protests.

SOVIET MANEUVER
SEEN IN DEBT TALK
Attempt to Avert French
Break Held Reason for
Publishing Proposals.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, September ga Soviet
diplomatic maneuver is seen here in
the announcement from Moscow of
settlement" with the French govern.
ment regarding the Russian debts,
closely followed by delivery Of the
Soviet proposals in Paris and their
simultaneous publication, contrary to
international usage.
The proposals were handed to Sena.
tor de Monzie, head of the French
economic delegation. by Ambassador
Rakovsky and were at the same time
given to the press. Semi-official cir
cles sensed in this an attempt to stave
off the diplomatic rupture threatened
in consequence of M. Rakovsky's re-
cent action In signing Communist
manifesto urging the soldiers of all
nations to revolt and overthrow the
capitalistic governments.
Plan May Not Work.
Semi-official circles also professed to
see an endeavor by the Soviets, by
immediate publication of the terms,
to influence the French government
toward acceptance through pressure
from the French bondholders and
manufacturers. The former are
anxious to see some of their money
after so many years and the latter are
dazzled by the prospect of huge trans.
actions with Soviet Russia.
That this maneuver, If that was it's
purpose, may not be altogether sue
cessful is indicated by such comment
as is Forthcoming in today's news
papers, which tends to show that the
terms offered by Moscow are mac
ceptable even to those sections of the
left parties not favoring diplomatic
break with Russia.
Ambassador Rakovsky's note in
cludes none of the assertions credited
in Moscow to Maxim Litvinoff. chief
of Soviet missions abroad, that a full
agreement with the French had been
reached, but it indicates that the pro.
posals should be acceptable to the
Paris government.
Want $6,00O,0O0 Deposited.
In brief. the Soviet proposals are
that 30,000,000 gold francs, or about
$6.000,000, be deposited in a French
bank within six months as the first
payment on 81 annual installments of
100000 gold francs to care for pre-
war Russian securities held by French
citizens and quoted on the Paris
Bourse.
AS condition, the Soviet govern.
ment asks that France grant CONNER
cial credits totaling $120,000,000 in six
annual installments, each to be repay
able within six years.
Virtually all the editorial writer's
mention that there Is not word In
the proposals about the indemnities
due French citizens for losses in Rus
sia or the treasury debts and credits.
all of which, M. Demonzie has pointed
out, must be included in any general
settlement.
