REVISION
CLANOR |RKS
By GEORGE r.. HOLMES

By GEORGE R. HOLMES
Administration officials have been
puzzled and not a little nettled over
the temperance in Europe of virn-
lent agitation for downward revision
of the war debt settlements.
The revival apparently has had
its origin in the numerous speeches
made in Washington this week by
collegiate economists attending the
convention of the II American
Learned societies, and collaterally in
the impending visit of s. Parker
Gilbert, the reparations czar.
The Capital has been literally del
uged this week with addresses by
college professors and university
war debts, or material revision down
ward Apparently these speeches
have been cabled abroad by enter
prising foreign correspondents, and
have been interpreted by the alert
cancellationists in the debtor coun-
tries as refleeting changing atti-
tude on the part of this Government.
At any rate, there has just ap.
newspapers a long dispatch from
Paris to the effect that the French
government-which has MOI vet rati-

an American move to revise not only
the French settlement. but all the

The continual flow Of this sort
of stuff across the Atlantic is
source of unending annoyance ana
embarrassment to the Treasury
and the State Department. for there
is no intention on the part of any
branch Of the American Government,

or revise the debt payments, with
or without reference to the repara.

NEW YORK, Dec. SO.-Police in

Harrington, 2s, vaudeville actress,
found dead in her apartment here
yesterday, were undecided today
whether she was shot or beaten to
death.
The walls Of the room were
splattered with blood and indica-
tions were that a terrific struggle
had taken place. Discovery that
Mrs. Harrington's jewels were miss
ing gave rise to a theory that she
had been robbed.
Inspector Carey. of the Homicide
Bureau, expressed the belief that a
most brutal murder had been COM
mitted.
A wound above the eye was at
first believed to have resulted in her
death. Later, however. several
gashes were found under her heavy
mop of hair. indicating that she had
been beaten with a sharp instru-
mei1t.
Inspector Carey said Mrs. Har-
rington apparently had been killed
last Friday.

ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 30.-Politi-

wondering what effect Governor

STATION WRAV SOON
TO QUIT OPERATING
Voluntary Action Due to Lack of
Equipment for High Quality
Broadcasting Programs.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Radio Commission an
nounced today that Station WRAV
Of Antioch College, Yellow Springs,
Ohio, would voluntarily withdraw from
the btoadcasting field October 81. The
action is unique in the commissions
varied experiences and brought from
Rear Admiral w. III. G. Bullard, chair
man of the board, letter to John G.
Frayne, director of the station, highly
commencing his decision.
Mr.. Frayne had written the commits
sion that the college station was not
equipped to render programs Of as
high quality as they desired. and
inasmuch as there were now too many
broadcasters for the present number
of channels, he hoped the withdrawal
might contribute in a small degree to
improving the situation.
Admiral Bullard said the commits
sion was particularly pleased at the
voluntary action and would consider
very favorably an application from the
college for a new license at some fu-
ture date. The admiral said the COM
mission would use the case as an ex-
ample in dealing with the problems
of other small stations.

 The Governors declaration was made at the annual convention din- ner of the New York State, League of women voters in answer to a resolu- tion adopted by the Nassau county branch of the League condemning or ganized opposition of the Volstead act and urging respect for and obe- dience Of the law"
 The Governor asked what was wrong with that and if there was any good reason why the opposition should not organize.
