 It was proposed that the various suggestions and observations offered this morning be reduced to writing for the delegates to read during the Easter holiday. After an hours ses- sion, if was decided not to attempt to proceed today to any discussion Of figures. but 10 consider them at next Thursdays meeting.
 Delegates Seek Recreation

 The purpose would be to force Dr. Schacht to produce some sort of figure representing the extent of Germany's willingness to pay, its reparation debt. This figure might serve only as a basis for discussion. If II were not made immediately it might at least be made after the Easter recess-beginning at the con- clusion of today's session. Once made. it was hoped the conference could move more rapidly.

for Western Hemisphere
Production.

by tne hSSOCIdtcN NAVSS'
HOUSTON, Tex, March 16.-A move
ment to stem overproduction OF crude
oil in the Western Hemisphere was in
augurated here today by the general
committee OF the American
Petroleum Institute. 1t adopted reso-
luton recommending that beginning
April /, the average daily production
of the United States. Mexico and North
ern South America, should be held to
the level of 1928.
Action to curb the 1929 output was
taken after oil men pointed out that
the average daily production to date
this year had been climbing steadily
until 1t now is several hundred thousand
barrels in excess Of last year.
Meeting March IL.
The resolution requested regional
committees to report at the institutes
meeting in New York, March 81, as to
whether production in the respective
oil sectors could be curbed to the 1928
average. The committee also recon-
mended that the institute set up per-
manent machinery and appoint a num-
Der of committees to study carefully all
phases Of the conservation movement,
not only in the matter of production,
but in the manner OF proper use OF
petroleum products. The entire world
would be embraced in this study.
Executives of major production COM
panies of the United States, Mexico and
Northern South America. attending the
conference, freely expressed the opinion
that the problem of conserving the
world petroleum resources was nearer
solution than ever before.
Definite Plan Seen.
Judge C. B. Ames, vice president of
the Texas Co., asserted he was quite
positive a definite plan of conservation
would be adopted soon.

.OLVANY SUCCESSOR
PUZZLES TAMMANY
Resignation Gives Rise to
Belief "Anything May Hap
pen" Within Party.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 16-Warriors of
the powerful Tammany tribe gathered
informally around the council fire in
the Union Square wigwam today to talk
about the unexpected resignation of
their big chief, George Washington
Olvany.
None of the political organizations
spokesman would offer an opinion as
to the identity of the successor of the
former New York City judge as head
Of the New York County Democratic
organization, which is the more formal
way Of saying Tammany Hall.
Ill Health Is Blamed.
Olvany himself had nothing to add
to his letter, submitted to his executive
committee yesterday, in which he said
he was retiring because of i'll health
Alfred E. Smith, Tammany sachem
and the titular leader of the national
Democratic party by virtue of his can
didacy for the presidency, would say
only that the resignation had been news
to him and that he would favor no
particular candidate for the post.
Mayor James j. Walker, the man
whose political fortunes are affected
probably more directly by Olvany's
decision than any one else's, spoke just
five words. They were:
Il have nothing to say"
Political writer's of New York news

of the district leaders had favored the
denomination of Mayor Walker for an
other four-year term starting next
January /. thought the leaders resigna-
ton did not augur we'll for Mr.. Walkers
chances.
Smith Mentioned As Successor.
The sentiment In some circles, in
fact, was summed up in the belief that
anything can happen now" and it was
pointed out that Walker might seize

INEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR PROVIDES
IDEAL INSULATION FOR COOLIDGE
Modest School Principal Occupies the
Other Half of That Famed
Frame Dwelling.

Northampton High School, as just and
stern a ruler in his own pedagogic pre-
cincts and as kind as was Calvin Cool
idge. the taciturn and calm monarch of
Washington's famed White House.
Mr.. Coolidge's neighbor Is pedagogue
of the old regime. Like Calvin Coolidge.
he has taken part quietly in the COM
munity affairs for many years, but. like
the typical New Highlander that he Is,
he moves easily and noiSelessly about
his own affairs.
Ideal Insulator.
Probably nowhere else. not even in
the most remote sanctuaries OF New
England, would Calvin Coolidge have
found a neighbor better fitted to serve
as an insulator from prying world.
The Plumbers residence, as that of
their neighbor, plain Cal Coolidge, is
typical of the home Of thousands of
middle class New Englanders.
The address, ladies and gentlemen,
should you ever need it, is 81 Massasoit
street.-the Same number will reach
either.
But that is not how the aristocrats of
Northampton live. Probably they should
not be called aristocrats. They are the
meek of the earth.
Incidentally, Mr.. Plumber was de-
lighted to hear, for the sake of his own
peace and quiet. that Calvin Coolidge
definitely severed himself from politics
or at least that is the belief of his own
home town people-when he did not
attend last night the State reunion and
banquet of Republican leaders at
Springfield.
He May "Pick Up Something"
Just now, standing at the diverging
roads, he has let 1t be known that he
is open to an executive position"
Old residents here predict that not
even an offer of dollar word would
keep Mr.. Coolidge in the writing trade
long. owing to the shortage Of raw ma
terial. He usec words. sparingly and
has a conscientious objection to over
working them.
Along with other neighbors, Mr.
Plumber is Of the opinion that Mr.
Coolidge is missing good business OPP
portunity, but they feel sure that, with
his fine reference from his last position
he will be able to pick up something"
