EXPERTS TOLD
BILL too HIGH
Schact Says Annuities Pro-
poeed By Commissions Ex-
cecds German Capacity

PARIS, April 16.-P)-Dr. HAL
mar Schacht, German PREPARATIONS
expert, told the operations commits
sion today the allied r~eparations an
nuities proposed on Saturday ex-
ceeded Germany's capacity to pay.
Today's session opened with the
distribution of q table of figures
showing the creditor nations had
arrived at the proposed annuitles.
This table had been requested yes
teroey by Dr.. SchacnC who asked
for more light on the individual
items.
After the tables were distributed
there arose a general discussion
in which Dr.. Schacht took the lead
as to the ability Of Germany to meet
the proposed payments.
Thus began the period Of real bar
gaining which will probably result
in more or less whiting down of
the proposed annuities. As the dis
cussion went on, the atmosphere
around the lobbies Of the Hotel
George v was more optimistic.
There was a general feeling in ex-
pert circles that some sort Of an
agreement was certain.

PROBLEMS ON
HOOVER'S Mind
Chief Executive Studying
Farm Aid, Administra-
ton, Enforcement
BY JAMES l.. WEST
ASSOCIATED Press Staff Writer)

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Presi-
dent Hoover Is concentrating on
three problems to the exclusion of
other matters.
This accounts to a large degree
for the lack of reaction from the
White House to suggestions for a
consideration of relations with soviet
Russia, a new naval arms conference
and other subjects.
Foremost among the present prob
lens is the redeeming of the party
campaign pledges for farm relief
and tariff revision. Of only slight
ly less Importance is the completion
Of the reorganization of the admin
~istrative machinery Of the govern
ment. Third is the setting up OF
the law enforcement commission to
conduct study into the operations
of enforcement commission to con-
duct study into the operations Of
enforcement machia5-y In all of its
branches and into the working Of
the prohibition enabling acts in par
ticular.
Administration officials. forsee lit
tie difficulty in getting through a
farm relief measure along the lines
laid down in the republican party
platform and in the campaign adj
dresses of the president, and they
are hopeful that limited tariff re-
vision can be accomplished without
undue delay.
They also expect that within three
or four months administratis re-
organization will be completed. Sub
stantial progress has been made in
that direction and announcements
probably will be made this week
Of appointments or the full person.
mel of assistants to the postmaster
general and the attorney general.
This will leave only two depart
ments-state and commerce-in
which reorganization work will be
incomplete.
President Hoover has made prog
ress in selecting members Of the law
enforcement commission, but thus
far he has kept his selections Sc
cret. The personnel Of the commits
sion probably will be completed
within a week or 10 days.
When the commission reaches the
study of prohibition enforcement all
sides will be given an opportunity to
be heard and this phase of the in
quiry alone probably will consume
some weeks.

THOUSANDS AT
BAILEY RITES
Texas Foremost Political
Figure Laid to Rest In
Old Home Town

GAINESVILLE, April 16.-Jo g
Bailey sleeps today on a little knoll
overlooking the Texas city he chose
as his home when he went west
from his native state Of Mississippi
years ago.
Amid a tremendous outpouring Of
old friends, Joseph We;Gon Bailey,
former United States senator from
Texas and one of the most interest
ing personalities ever to appear on
the stage of Texas politics, was laid
to rest yesterday near the scenes
of his first political triumphs.
The statesman was inferred beside
the body Of his first wife, on a lot
he had owned for many years. AS
the funeral cortege left the railroad
station, floral tokens were dropped
from an airplane overhead, a last
mark Of respect from those IN the
senator's old home town.
The funeral procession was one
Of the longest, If not the longest,
ever here. A special train brought
the several hundred friends from
Dallas, where funeral services had
been held earlier in the day. In
addition, there were thousands from
Gainesville and other north and east
Texas cities who came to pay their
respects to the fallen leader.
Industry was stilled, banks and
shops and courts were closed, that
all might march out to the little
Fairview cemetery and take a last
look at friend and neighDor. The
bronze casket was opened and the
tear dimmed multitude filed past
while the gathering sang there's
q land that is fairer than day"
The Rev. James GoDer OF Green
vile, lifelong friend Of Bailey, after
a brief prayer, introduced Judge
Nelson Phillips, who delivered the
principal eulogy on the life Of his
departed comrade.

Many communities in Nebraska.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and
Illinois were suffering today tie
effects of the spring freshets of the
last few days, but unless rains set
in, the tributaries were not expect

The Mississippi, on the other
hand, was threatening to break
through a levee on the Illinois side,
north of Burlington, Iowa. Inhba-
itants Of Gulfport, a village of 100,
have moved to higher ground while
large crews attempted to reinforce
the levee. Water was dribbling
