Washington, May 20 R-Presi- dent Hoover and congressional lead- CTS today were studying a proposal for revision of payments due the United States in connection with army of occupation costs and the private war claims of American nationals against Ger many.

 The new program was outlined by Under-Secretary Mills of the treasury and suggested a revision of the time schedule for German VI payments on the American army of occupation costs. It was explain ed that this contemplated a spread ing out over longer period Of these payments and also what was described by some of those present as an 'inconsequential" pairing down of the amount. Included in the plan also is suggestion for a realignment of the plan for pay ments by Germany to American na- tionals growing out of war claims
 The White House conference was attended by several members oi the cabinet, administration con- gressional leaders and Represent ative Garner of Texas, and Senator Simmons of North Carolina, rank. ing democratic members on the house and senate committees which will be called to pass upon any recommendation from the adminis- tration for a revision of the pres. ent payment agreement.
 A number of senators this morn- ing expressed approval of the sug- gested revision and several said il was their opinion that in the nea, future formal recommendation for such a change would be trans mitted to congress by President Hoover.

 At the same time he told the cor respondent for the Associated Press that | transatlantic journey was out of the question until it has been definitely determined what caused the failure of four of his five mo- tors last week when the ship was we'll on her way on a second voyage to the United States.

Tenn6soe Strikers Complain Int State Police Are Usin6
 Federal Arms
LEADER SAYS STRIKE
 CAN LAST FOR YEARS
Points Out That MOuntaineers Are Self-Supporting - Trial Of Tickets Resumed Today - Union Oustod From Headquarters for Failure to Pay Rent-Further Explosions and Shooting Occur.

Eiizabethton, Tenn, May 20 R-A charge that federal arms were being used by Tennessee state police in the textile strike here was the basis of . projected inquiry ordered last night by Secretady of War Good.
 Coincident with the war depart ment investigation, which Mir. Good said was not directed into the strike situation but merely into the claims of the state labor organization of the use of federal arms came an an- nouncement from Adjutant General w. c. Boyd that martial law will not be ordered unless it becomes neces- sary and that authorized courts fail to function.
 The charge concerning federal arms was made in communication rom Tennessee Federation of Laboi leaders addressed to Secretary Good in Washington last Friday. The in- quiry was to determine whether such arms have been made available to state police. National Guard men patrolling the strike situation here have been sworn in as special depu- ties.
 Adjutant General Boyd's an- nouncement regarding martial law came after a conference yesterday attended by representatives of Gov ernor Horton, the state attorney gen. eral and county officials.
 While interest centered chiefly in Secretary Goods move and the pos- sibility of martial law, an important development was expected today in the trial of several strikers on charg- es of contempt of court which. it was believed will test the legality of picketing in Tennessee.
 The original charges of intimida- ton against the strikers grew out of ricketing activities in which charges Of rioting and blocking the highways also were made.
 Apprehe nsion here continued high with reports of disorders coming in from the outlying mill workers com- munities. Guardsmen were taking extra precaution after being inform ed that strikers would engage in demonstrations today on picket duty. Demonstrations were held through out yesterday. Many reports of dynamiting. riots and minor pillage in the neighboring communities, were found to be groundless.

"CAPTAiN SALvATl0ND
 IS NOW AT PALACE

.sCaptain Salvation -saga of the seven seas-one of literature's most beautiful love stories. set in a terrific setting of struggle. ele- mental emotion and a maelstrom of, human motives, is a paradox in pictures. The new 'Gesmopoli- tan screen drama, now playing at the Palace Theatre. is one of the most astounding contributions to the screen drama in years.
 A love romance is told in vol cano of human emotions; with characters that represent the bru- tai, the fearless, the goddess; the man who sailed the old clipper ships and looked death and worse, in the face with a grin. It is. realistic to the point of almost terror at times. it is a gigantic drama of the adventure and lure of the sea-but these are only the backgrounds to the central theme; the love of boy and girl enmesh- ed in plot such as few authors have ever dreamed.

 "He-man," or elemental drama, is what screen fans most favor, de- clares Milton Sills, who has be- come one of the screens foremost stars within the past two years be- cause he has devoted himself ex- clusively to this type of motion pie ture.
 Appearing in virile characteriza- tions with out-of-door background, Stills has developed a tremendous following.
 And Stills modestly disclaims credit for this, declaring the type of picture in which he has been starred, is largely responsible.
 His role in Burning Daylight, the First National picture to be at the Palace Sunday and Monday, is an excellent example of the sort of story Stills believes the most easily adaptable to pictures.
 With it's locale in Alaska during the hectic days of the gold rush, the action of the story is essen tially pictorial and the camera has caught many scenes of the frozen

 The Firemen will probably start Osborn and HoIlmann, forwards, Campen, center and Peterson and Jung as guards. The starting line uA for the Hilltoppers will be J, Orme and Jackson, forwards; Jen- son at center and Sturrock and Johnson as guards. '

Be. tween these two scenic extremes, MacLean chases beautiful blonde with whom he has fallen in love at first sight.
