There is to be egg-rolling in the rear
grounds of the White House on Easter
Monday. April /.
1t was announced at the White House
today that this White House tradition
is to be carried out by President Hoover
and Mrs. Hoover during their occupancy
of the White House. AS usual. the egg
rolling attendance will be confined to
youngsters and adults accompanying
them. There will be a band concert in
the afternoon.
More than 10000 children and grown
ups thronged the rear grounds on the
occasion of the last Easter egg-rolling.
There is some likelihood that MI.
Hoover will limit further the customary
handshaking at the White House. which
has been a daily custom during the
past two administrations. After one
week of this Mr.. Hoover reduced the
hsndshaking to Mondays and Wednes-
days, and it Is now thought likely that
he will allow only one day week for
this purpose.

No Indication Given Germany
Will Accept S42O, 600, 900
Annuities Proposal.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, March 2i.-Dr. Hjalmar
Schacht. president of the Reichsbank
will take with him to Berlin tonight
it is learned, the offer of the allied
experts on reparations to accept 1850
000,o marks (about S420,00o, ,00O) as
the figure for the German reparations
annuities.
The figure of l.750,O00,O0O marks Is
understood to represent reparations
payments of all categories. This would
entail reduction Of the present an
nuities under the Dawes plan of be-
tween 70o,o0o,0oo and 10000, 900 gold
marks.
Figure Closely Guarded.
The 1,750,000, 900 marks figure was
guarded with the greatest secrecy; con-
seouently when 1t was learned there
was no attendant explanation or COM
ment to indicate the number of an
nuities, or if as generally supposed, II
was the first figure of a schedule OF
rising annual totals.
Thus it appeared that the minimum
which Germany's creditors will accept
is in fact the equivalent of the fourth
years Dawes annuity. payment OF
which was completed August 81, 1928
The allies offer carried with 1t vari-
Gus other conditions which were not

No Indication Of Acceptance.
DR.. Schacht has given no indication

The German banker asked this meet
ing deliberately, it was understood, sc
that responsibility for acceptance or
conditional refusal would be widely
shared not only by the government but
by the great leaders Of German industry
