BERLIN, May 23.-Dr. Albert Voc
gler, colleague of DR.. Hialmar Scllacht
on the German delegation to the ex-
perts' conference on reparations at Paris,
resigned today. The German govern
ment will accept his resignation.
DR.. voegler returned here abruptly
from Paris yesterday, preceded by re-
ports that he was dissatisfied with repa-
rations proposals put forward by Owen
D. Young, American chairman of the
conference, and would refuse to affix
his name to a settlement embodying
them.
DR.. Ludwig Kastl, who has worked
with Drs. Schacht and Voegler since
the inception of the conference, will
succeed to Dr. Voeglers place on the
German delegation.
Handed in Some Time Ago.
1t was understood DR.. Voegler's ten
tative resignation was handed in some
time ago, but only became positive and ir-
revocable today when conditions of the
allied experts counter proposals 10
reservations of the German experts be-
came known.
Yielding to pressure from Rhenish
and Ruhr Valley industrialists, DR..
Voegler informed the German govern
ment several days ago that he desired
to be relieved from his reparations mis-
sion. as he did not believe that the con-
cessions which his colleague, DR..
Schacht, thought possible were accept
able to German business industry.
This tentative resignation. however,
was felt to reflect less his personal
views than those of his superiors;
namely, the owners of the United Steel
Works. of which he is director general,
especially Fritz Thyssen.
It Is understood that his resignation
then was couched in such terms that
Chancellor Mueller and Foreign Minis
ter Stresemann, in a conference with
President Won Hindenberg yesterday,
thought he could be persuaded to re-
main. Consequently hurried govern
ment press communique was issued yes
terday denying his resignation.
Yields Place to Kastl.
Overnight the situation changed
however, In that the counter proposals
of the allies became known. DR.. Voeg-

The upturn, which carried about q

that the market had reached bottom

change in its rate this morning.

DEBENTURE ACCORD
VERGES ON FAILURE
Garner Declines to Move to Send
Back Tariff Bill to Include
Export Plan.
BY the Associated Press.


The latest move of the farm relief
conference committee to settle the ex-
port debenture controversy between the
House and Senate appeared today to
be on the verge of failure.
This was indicated when Representa-
tive Garner of Texas, the Democratic
leader, announced he had decided
against moving to recommit the tariff
bill to the ways and means committee
with instructions to include the de-
benture plan.
Senate conferees had sought this ac-
ton by Garner in the hope 1t would
House vote on the debenture PROPOSE
ton before it be asked to recede from
its position favoring it. A number of
Senators have insisted that the House
be permitted to express itself on de-
bentures as part of farm legislation.
The Democratic House leader said he
would have no objections to offering
the debenture section to the tariff bill
as an amendment, but since the Re
publican majority was expected to limit
amendments. one proposing debentures
was considered unlikely to be au-
thorized.
Democratic leaders in the House have
taken the view that inasmuch as they
probably will have only one opportunity
to recommit the tariff measure. the mo-
ton for reconlmittal should be based
upon a proposition on which they
could muster a maximum of support.
The opinion is held in the House that
the debenture section could not muster
full Democratic strength and also would
be unable to draw support from as many
Republicans as other tarih provisions
might be expected to do.
The scheduled meeting of the farm
relief conference committee was post
poned until tomorrow to give House
conferees the opportunity Of attending
a Republican tariff caucus.

paper company and the Alabama Power
Co. on an $4,000, 900 industrial develop
ment program in Mobile, Stevens testi-
fed that he had discussed the establish
ment Of another newspaper In that city
at luncheon with Thomas W. Martin,
president Of the Alabama Power Co.
Tells of Conversations.
What about the continued Raging
OF the Alabama Power Co. by the news
papers?" Stevens said he had asked
Martin during their conversation on
the proposed industrial program.
1T Is quite disagreeable and unfair" ;"
the witness quoted Martin as replying
but we cannot let it interfere with
our business"
Martin then asked. according to
Stevens, How long are you people in
Mobile going to put up with the con-
d1tions that exist In the newspaper
world there?"
Stevens testified that he had been
disguised for the past 20 years with
the newspapers published by Frederick
I. Thompson in Mobile and also 1aG
been interested in several previous un-
successful attempts to establish a rival
newspaper. Martin, he added. was
most decidedly not pleased" with the
Thompson papers.

If the attorney got in touch with Vic
and the Age Herald the latter could
find publisher for the Mobile paper.
Started Negotiations.
Early in December or in January I
had a call from Hanson" Stevens con-
t1nued, telling me that he had man
he was ready to recommend" Later,
Stevens added, he met r. 3. Chandler
now publisher of the Mobile Press, and
Hanson in the latter's office in Birming-
ham and started the negotiations which
eliminated in the establishment of the
newspaper.
During the luncheon with Martin,
Stevens testified the Alabama Power Co.
had declared that his concern did not
consider it wise or sound policy to in
vest money in newspapers" There had
been a suggestion at this meeting with
Martin, Stevens said, that Hanson
might be interested in taking over a
Mobile newspaper, but the power COM
pany head expressed the view that the
Birmingham publisher did not wish to
add any more newspaper properties to
his present holdings.
At his meeting with Hanson and
Chandler in Birmingham. Stevens de-
clared. Hanson assured him that
Chandler would carry out any financial
arrangements for the newspapers that
was agreed upon and recommended
