BERLIN REPLY
ON WAR DEBTS
IS Due TODAY
Hope Is Expressed in Paris
That Germany Will
Agree to Terms.
BY SAMUEL DASHIELL,
United Press STAFF Correspondent


PARIS, May 25.-Germany's re-
spouse to what is considered the
final definite proposition Of the al
lied creditor powers on the question
of war reparations was expected to
reach Owen D. Young, American
chairman of the conference Of ex-
perts, today.
Dr.. Hjalnar Schacht, chief Ger
man representative at the negotia-
lions. has been delaying his answer
to the recent allied memorandum in
the hope of obtaining certain modi-
fications to the allies counter pro-
posals for an agreement.
After many conferences with their
delegations however, Dr.. Schacht
apparently has given up hope of
moving the creditors from their
stand and was expected to file his
answer today, accepting or reject
ing their terms.
Schacht and his colleagues have
been in. constant touch with Berlin
for the last tWenty-four hours, but
they have not indicated the reaction
of their government toward the
allies proposition or its feeling to-
ward effecting an immediate set
Element of the reparations problem.
The fact, however. that the Ger
mans still are talking terms and
trying to effect some sort of settle
ment was regarded as a hopeful sign.
Moreover. the absence, so far. Of a
direct refusal by the Germans to ac-
cept the terms of the allies indicated
that the hope Of an ultimate
agreement on the perplexing ques-
ton still was being felt among the
German experts.
The allied delegations, during all
these conversations, recalled the fact
that it was Germany that lost the
war and that the acceptance by the
Reich of the terms Of the allies
would only follow in the normal
sequence of events wherein Germany
has been expected to assume the
burden Of reconstructioning the al
lied countries.

DUNLAP GIVEN
kLOTZ JOB

Walter H. Dunlap. former engi-
neer officer, was today appointed
engineer for the Public Utilities
Commission to succeed r. G. Klotz,
who resigned under pressure last
month.
Dunlap was formerly employed
by the Commission in 1927 and
worked on the merger of the trac-
ton companies and retaliation of
the Washington Gas Light Com
pany. He resigned January 81, of
this year.
The new engineer Is a native Of
Virginia. and has number OF years
of active engineering work behind
him. He was employed as q mag
netic observer of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1903,
and in 1915 and 1917 he was with
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion as bridge computer. During
the war, he served as captain in the
Engineer Corps and was also with
the United States Coal Commission.

ably go TO work at once on a survey

Stock Probe Of Capital Traction Lines Is Ordered
BRIDE IS TOLD
To DETERMINE
OWNERS

The Public Utilities Com
mission today turned toward
the traction situation and
started an investigation TO
determine what, if any, stock
of the Capital Traction Com
pany is held by the North
American Company.
While it has been established that
the North American holds the con-
trolling interest in the Washington
Railway and Electric Company end
is supposed to control the Washing
ton Rapid Transit Company, hold
ings In the other traction concern
have not been determined.
Bride To Head Probe
With the talk of possible merger
and the willingness of the Capital
Traction Company to get together
with the bus line and Washington
Railway and Electric Company, the
Utilities Commission, asked the Cor
poration Counsel to start q new in
vestigation.
w. w. Bride, corporation coun-
sci, is investigating the recent sale
of control of stock in the Washing
ton Gas Light Company and prob
ably will call upon the Department
Of Justice to assist him. At the
same time he will endeayor to
determine just what interest the
North American may hold in the
Capital Traction Company.
If it is shown that the anti-merger
act has been violated it is possible
for the corporation counsel to move
to dissolve the companies effected.
1t has been rumored that the
North American has been buying
up all Capital Traction stock in
the open market, but has not yet
obtained control. Utilities officials
express the belief that control will
eventually pass to that gigantic
concern.
In the matter OF q possible
merger, nothing will be done until
the board of directors of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany meets. This meeting probably
viii not be held for some weeks,
as a number of directors are out
OF the city.
When the matter is considered by
the board of the Washington Rail
way & Electric Co., those in the
know predict that the company win
take the same attitude as that
adopted by he Capital Traction Com.
pany and some plan win be worked
out that win be acceptable to the
companies if not to the Public
Utilities Commission.
