AUSTRIA OFFERS
DEBT SETTLEMENT.
Would Pay Off Claims Before
Moratorium Limit, U. S.
Is Informed.

A specific offer to pay the Austrian
war debt Of about $35, 100000 to this
country was made today to the Treasury
Department by Austrian officials.
The Austrian debt, payment of which
had previously been. postponed by this
government to June /, 1943, under terms
of special moratorium to Austria
would be paid off at an earlier date, it
is understood, under terms of the offer
made today.
Details Are Withheld.
Details of the Austrian proposal were
withheld, but they are understood to
be identical in nature to the agree
ments already signed between Austria
and seven of its nine creditors.
The Austrian proposal will be sub
mitted by the Treasury Department to
the House ways and means committee
when Congress convenes.
The Treasury last Spring supported a
resolution which is now before Con-
gress after being reported out by the
House ways and means committee,
which would have authorized the
Treasury to negotiate for settlement
of the Austrian debt at an earlier date
The resolution also would authorize the
war debt to a reconstruction loan pro-
posed to be privately hoated in the
sum of about $100,0 100000.
The conference at the Treasury to-
day developed further the previous
Austrian request for debt agreement
and for priority for the new loan by
getting down to exact terms as to just
what the Austrians will and can pay.
Under the terms of the war lean orig
inally no settlement could be made
with any one creditor unless similar
agreements were made with all.
Cites Need for Loan.
The Treasury Department will thus
be able to go before the House ways
and means committee with a precise
offer from Austria instead of the
presentation made last Spring.
The Austrian government was repre-
sented at the conference today by its
Minister, Edgar Prochnik, and DR..
Richard Schuller, chief of the bureau
of economics of the Austrian govern
ment.
4hC f1iiClICd GONeIIliIleIt was repre-
sented by Undersecretary of the Treas
ury Ogden l.. Mills, DR.. A. N. Young of
the State Department and others
The Austrian officials at the conclu-
sion of their technical conference with
the UnderSecretary, paid their respects
to Secretary of the Treasury Mellon.
From DR.. Schuller the Americans OBJ
tanned mass of reports and informa-
tion concerning the economic status of
Austria and the reasons why that gov
ernment for some time had been asking
for permission to float its new recon-
struction and refund its old indebted
ness under a new agreement.
DR.. Schuller, it is understood, out
lined at length the need for the $780,
300, 900 loan which is to be used by
Austria for capital expenditures and
FOR productive purposes.

SENTENCE DELAYED
FOR WORK ON FARM
Montgomery Youth Told by Judge
"First-0ffense" Plea Has Been
0verdone and He Must Serve.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, November %. -
James Hungerford, 21-year-old son of
an up-county farmer, pleaded guilty in
Circuit Court yesterday of stealing parts
of a sawmill belonging to William j.
Lewis of the Woodfleld neighborhood.
1t was shown that he had been his
fathers mainstay on the farm, and
Judge Robert B. Peter permitted him to
return home to help with the heavy
Fall work, but told him that he would
be required to report later for three
months in the county jail or house of
correction.
Experience has taught me-" said the
judge, that the only way to check
criminal tendencies among the young
is to let them understand that they
will have to pay the penalties of their
misdoings, even though they be first
offenses."
Judge Peter expressed the belief that
the feeling among the young in many
localities that they can do almost any
thing and get off with suspended
sentence, provided it is a first Of
fense," encourages the commission of
crimes. and he made 1t plain that sus-
pended sentences in his court would be
few and far between.

Patrolmen v. M Nichols and Harry
Robinson were attracted to the house
yesterday afternoon when they saw
what appeared to be heliograph signals

found that the flashes they had seen
were due to the sun glinting on the
reflectors of spotlights trained directly
at the Bowie race track.
They entered the house and on the
second floor found two powerful tele-
scopes also trained on the track. There
were, in addition, several pairs of pow
erful binoculars in the room in which

probe would be made of the outfit found
in the house He said that before the
Government could take any action it
would have to be determined what use
has been made of the radio apparatus
in the house. If it has been found that
the apparatus has been used for viola
tions of the law action can be taken.

DamroSch Reminds America
of New Obligation.

Commenting on the Atwater Kent
series of Sunday night concerts,
Walter Damrosch, famed conductor
and composer, took occasion to re-
mind Americas listening public that
the broadcasting of classic music
to increasing millions of listeners
has proportionately increased the
obligation to European masters.
World famous opera and concert
artists, in presenting these concerts
over the extensive network of sta
tons engaged for the Atwater Kent
hour. have naturally drawn heavily
on the masterpieces of European
composers.

STATUS AUCURS
BRIGHT FUTURE
AtWater Kent Delighted
With Progress and Pub
lie Appreciation.

A. Atwater Kent, Philadelphia
radio manufacturer and broadcaster
of grand opera stars, declares that
all Observation-Disclosures, broad
casters. and listeners-have reason
to be happy over the present and
future of radio. He says:
IT am gratifled at the past, de-
lighted with the present and enthu-
siastic over the future of radio
Great things have been done. Even
greater things will be done.
1.-TWO important developments rap
idly are bringing more and more
satisfaction to radio users. One is
the working out of the problem of
regulation and ALLEGATION by the
Radio commission.
1.-THE other is the production by
manufacturers of reliable sets and
equipment, sinplif1ed as to opera
ton and maintenance and at rea-
sonable prices. The public no longer
hesitates to buy radios because of
unsatisfactory broadcasting condi-
tions or because of uncertainty as to
quality and character Of sets.
Advance in Quality
simultaneously with these de-
velopments has come a great adj
vance in the quality Of broadcast
entertainment and in the number
of important, thrilling events Of
worldwide consequence brought
into the home by radio-such as the
Lindbergh celebrations and the
trans-oceanic airplane flights.
During the last two years broad
cast programs have become better
and better, until now the millions
of people constituting the great
radio audience may hear the best
in music at almost any hour.
Hand in hand with the fore
going has come a wider use of radio
for educational and business pur-
poses. Schools are adopting it.
Broadcasting stations are putting
on educational programs for
students.
Public Appreciation Keen
The Department of Agriculture,
and others are broadcaStlng
both instruction and entertainment
in an interesting way, which means
dollars and cents to farmers and
business men. While we do not per-
hapS hear so much about it, this
practical use of radio has, I think,
grown in the same ratio as its
cultural use.
II have been delighted to note
that there is a keen appreciation on
the part of the public of the adj
and privileges it now en-
joys from radio. The public realizes
that this great growth has been
made possible by the willingness of
manufacturers, broadcasters and
others to spend millions for de-
velopment and promotion. Surveys
of the industry indicate that the
public is showing its appreciation
in the most effective manper-by
