BERLIN AGOG At.
DEBT RUMOR

BERLIN, April IS u.N.S.l-A sen.
sation was created here today by a
rumor from Paris that the Wash
ington Government had authorized
Owen D. Young to discuss war debt
reduction in the reparation confer
ence. Newspapers declared that
"hopes for an American miracle
are rising"
Nationalist newspapers comment
ing upon the reported offer of
$40O. 200, 900 annually by DIR. HAL
mar Schacht, head of the German
delegation at the reparation con-
ference, called it fantastic.
Fascist leaders repudiate the al
legged offer.
The wild rumor attributed in Ber-
lin TO Paris is contrary to every Of
fetal announcement made since the
conference was first proposed. Of
fetal spokesmen for the United
States Government announced that
the United States would not con-
slider reduction of war debts nor
would they consent to a discussion
of reparations and war debts to-
gether.
The United States even refused
to participate in the reparation con-
ference for fear that the war debt
question would be raised. However.
the Washington Government con.
sented to the allied proposal that
unofficial American observers take
part in the conference.
Rumors circulated in Berlin that
the American government had au-
thorized Owen d. Young and j. P.
Morgan to discuss war debt reduc-
ton at the reparations meeting in
Paris were characterized as "ridicu-
lous" in official quarters here to-
day.
The fir nand mistaken policy of
this Government fs to not associate
war debts with reparations in any
way, and that policy Is being ad-
hered to in the conversations at
Paris, so far as Washington knows.

III. s. TRADE
GROWTH
by HARRY GUsACK
(FinanelaI Editor)

The Importance of increased buy
hng power throughout the world
and the opportunity that should be
N&ifen Europe to. sell more because
Ia so doing European countries
could buy more was stressed yes
terday in a talk by Secretary of
$Commefce Robert p. Lamont be-
fore the National Foreign Trade
Couneil in Baltimore.
Secretary Lamont dwelt on the
point that the United States cannot
build up foreign trade by merely
becoming more efficient nor by driv-
ing competition out OF foreign mar
kets. The restored ability of Eu-
rope to produce and export" he
@anid, has been q major factor itself
In building up our exports both to
Europe itself and to other parts of
! the world, which in turn have found
their buying power increased by the
liability to sell more food stuffs and
raw materials to European coun-
Atries. 1t is to our interest that Eu-
rope should expand still further in
its export of manufactured goods.
Breaking away from his prepared
! speech, Mr.. Lamont threw cold
water on the reports that have
| been circulated alleging that there
is "a great deal of unemployment
<ANfsting at the present time in the
United States.
"There is a great deal of talk
About unemployment" said Mr.. La
mont, but there is no real basis
of fact for these reports; there is
no. real information available on the
Asubject. -Thefe has been great
deal of shifting on account of the
displacement of man by machinery,
but no one knows exactly how
many workers 1t has affected and
how many men are idle. 1t Is often
a Question Of. groups-one group
reporting one thing and another
AAroup another thing. If Congress
Eould give us the money to ascer-
lin the facts we could find out the
/ Feal facts about unemployment"

.GR|LL|NG Of HARDY
. |SEXPECTED TODAY
jurist Denies Charges Made
in Mcpherson Impeach.
ment Proceedings.
By the Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, Calf, April "a
Having fatty contradicted the testimony
Of various prosecution witnesses in his
impeachment trial, Superior Judge Car
los 8. Hardy prepared today to undergo
the fire Of cross-examination.
For four hours yesterday the white
haired jurist sat on the witness stand
and denied without reservations all the
principal charges against him. The
prosecution alleges he acted as attor-
ney for Mrs. Aimee Semple Mcpherson,
and that he DISTRACTED justice by be-
coming unduly active in her behalf
curing the investigation of her kidnap-
ing story.
Judge Hardy admitted having con-
ferred with Mrs. McPherson's attorneys
on the employment Of detectives, and
also confessed that he had received re-
ports rom investigators sent to Carmel,
Calf. IN an attempt to support the
evangelist's contention that she was not
the woman who was with Kenneth G..
Ormiston, former Angelus Temple radio
operator, during the time Mrs. McPher-
son was missing in 1926
The jurist denied, however. that he
had influenced the investigation of Mrs.
McPherson's story or that he had coun-
Seled the evangelist's attorneys. He
also denied that he had warned Los
Angeles grand jurors to LAY of the
Aimee case"
When Mrs. Mcpherson reappeared in
Los Angeles after her mysterious alb
sence. Judge Hardy testified. she told
him the statements she had given the
newspapers were true. He said she did
not go into details, but averred that he
believed her story. The prosecution con-
tends that Judge Hardy had reliable in
formation that Mrs. Mcpherson was not
kidnapped, and that in spite of this he
persisted In attempting to aid her.

MRS. HYDE IS A PRACTICAL
FARMER OF LONG EXPERT ENCF
Wife Of U. S. Secretary Of
Agriculture Grow Up
in Country.
Today She Manages Four
Thriving Missouri Farms
of Her Own.
BY MARGARET HART.

The wife Of the United States Secre-
tary OF Agriculture is practical farmer
of long experience. Mrs. Arthur M.
Hyde grew up on farm and loved It,.
She married "city boy" and adapted
herself gracefully to urban life, but she
never lost interest in the country and
the things thereof.
Today she manages four thriving
Missouri farms of her own, and until
recently she advised her husband in
the management of another farm Of
500 acres which he then owned.
Mrs. Hyde had just launched farm
Improvement program on her proper
ties when word came of the appoint
ment Of the former Missouri governor
as head Of the Department of Agrtcul-
ture.
II was having barns built" she said.
land I was having houses remodeled,
equipped and improved. I am still 60
ing ahead with this program, and
hope to have 1t completed by Summer"
Running Farm Business.
Secretary Hyde, called to Washing
ton by surprise appointment, was de-
layed in returning home to settle his
business affairs after the Inauguration.
But Mrs. Hyde lost no time getting back
to Missouri, and the prospect Is that
she will remain there until farm mat
tiers are Strengthened ont. In fact, she
is not expected to take UP her residence
In the Capital until her daughter. Caro-
line finishes Junior high school.
Hortense Cullers was living on her
fathers farm, Sunnybrook, near Tren-
ton, when Arthur Hyde entered Prince
ton Academy. 10 miles away. Miss
Cullers also was student at the acad-
envy. Hortense Of Sunnybrook Farm
and Arthur became fast friends. Out
of this friendship grew the romance
which resulted In their marriage.
The man Hortense Cullers married
became mayor of his town and governor
Of his State, but his wife found time to
keep in touch with farming. For the
% years before her wedding day she
lived in agricultural surroundings, and
she just couldn't say good-hy to them
altogether.
Mr.. Hyde liked farm life. too, but
only as an avocation. He was too busy
In public service to devote much time
tn the HYDE farm properties. So Mrs
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-04-24

Hyde gladly assumed management Of
them. Her early farm training stood
her in good stead, and she has been
complete success as professional farm
supervisor.
Mrs. Hyde Knows Markets.
1t has been said that one of the prob
lens of agriculture is to teach the
farmer how and when to market his
goods. Mrs. Hyde needs no such in
struction. She knows how to adjust
her supply Of products to the demands
Of the market, and she profits by this
knowledge to fullest extent.
One Of her farms is stocked with
pure-bred Guernsey cattle, which Mrs.
Hyde selected herself from prize herds
in the Middle West. She is an admirer
of fine stock and keeps herself in
formed regarding the best herds and
modern methods Of stock raising.
One of Mrs. Hyde's first acts after
the Inauguration was to visit the De-
partment of Agriculture greenhouses
and inspect the rare flowers. She
learned with pleasure that one of her
official duties was to serve as Flower
hostess" at the departments amaryllis
and chrysanthemum shows.
AS the wife of the Governor of Mis-
souri, Mrs. Hyde was known as a gra-
cious and interesting hostess. She be-
lieves in getting what enjoyment there
is out of life, and her brown eyes
sparkled as she told of the thrills she
received in attending the inauguration
and from the round Of ensuing fes-
tivities.
IT know we will like it in Washing
ton," Mrs. Hyde exclaimed. 1T will
be an education for Caroline, for she
is Just at the impressionable age.
"And it must agree with Arthur. He
has already gained pound!"

Will Rogers
Says:

BOSTON, Mass.-Say, that speech
of Mr.. Hoover's was Just about one
of the strongest things a President
ever said, when he said life and
property is less safe here than in any
other civilized country in the world.
The only difference of opinion we
can have about that is, do we come
under the heading of civilized. I
doubt that more than I do the
statement.
One thing, he hadn't spoken two
minutes till you could tell the same
man hadn't written that speech that
had been In there. It was about
the condition Of the country, but
not the same condition that Calvin
used to enumerate to us.
Babe Ruth come up yesterday
afternoon and didn't knock anything
but a single. I never was so dis
gusted.
