SCHACHT REVIEWS
DEBT CUT APPEAL
German Reichsbank Presi'
dent Cites Masses of
Figures to Experts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 13-The third
session of the experts committee on
reparations got under way at IL o'clock
this morning with the German dele
gates apparently still to occupy the CEN
ter of the stage in the conference room.
The German delegates appeared well
ahead of time and with arms full of
portfolios crammed with papers. This
was regarded as in evident preparations
for questions from other delegates fol-
lowing presentation of the German case
yesterday by DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
Reichsbank president.
DR.. Schacht has taken the position
Germany cannot maintain the payment
schedules laid out under the Dawes
plan and he and his colleagues may
attempt to reinforce his arguments to-
day.
Interest i'm Morgan.
AS usual J. P. Morgan attracted the
most attention. The delegates MAIN
their meeting today and had almost
nothing to say.
Dr. Schacht took the floor at the
opening of the meeting and continued
his explanation of the situation in Ger
many. He dwelt on the fact that there
was not SO much difference between
his figures and those of others-ap-
parently referring to the recent report
OF S. Parker Gilbert, agent-general for
reparations-as there was from the
conclusions drawn from them.
Mr.. Gilbert, who is still abed after an
attack of influenza, is recovering, and Is
expected to be heard by the committee,
not on formal invitation, but as a
matter of course.
DR.. Schacht's fellow experts seemed
confused by his masses of figures,
poured forth hourly, respecting the
budgets and categories of resources of
Germany, its exports and imports, and
the inferences concerning the future.
They expected to examine the statistics
in manuscript, but there appeared to be
no disposition on the part of the French
or any other delegates to controvert DR..
Schacht's figures by independent calcu-
| lations of their own. Instead, they
| placed against them Mr.. Gilbert's re-
| port of 1877 pages, which is based large
ly on an accumulation of statistics.
Committee Is Delayed.
| Sir Josiah Stamp. one of the Brit
ish delegates, must go to London for a
directors meeting, and it is therefore
| impossible for the committee to meet
formally on Friday and Saturday.
This morning Mr.. Young read to the
committee the following reply from Vice
President Dawes to the committee S
message of greeting:
| II gratefully acknowledge the message
from the committee experts. The world
is confident of their high purpose and
summation of their great work SO vital
| to its welfare"

BLOOD STAINED TAxICAB
POINTS TO GANG MURDER
Search Under Way Near Runne-
mede for Youthful Driver Be-
lieved to Have Been Slain.

By the Associated Press.
CAMDEN, N. j., February 13.-An
organized search was under way in the
vicinity Of Runnemede, near here, today
for John Lowry, 20, taxicab driver, of
Scranton, Pa, who is believed by the
authorities to have been slain by gang
sters.
A blood-stained taxicab, found in a
lonely ravine at Runnemede, was
identified as the one driven by Lowry
when he disappeared from Scranton on
February 2. The cab was found two
days later. It's Identification was estab-
lished when Lowry's father, Burt
Lowry, owner of the taxicab company,
came here to aid in the search for his
son. The wooded section surrounding
the ravine was combed, but no trace Of
the missing man was found.
Mr.. Lowry told the Camden County
authorities he feared his son had been
slain by a gang of counterfeiters, and
that the description of the man who
had engaged the cab driven by his son
tailed with that of man arrested
February S in Williamstown, N. j.,
with four others, charged with counter
feiting.

GEN. BOOTH VOTED
PHYSICALLY UNFIT
High Council of Salvation
Army Ballots 81 to 5 on
Question.

SUNRURY- RY-ON-THAMES England,
February 13.-The High Council of the
Salvation Army today adjudicated Gen.
Bramwell Booth unfit for service as
general of the army. The vote was
So to S.
It was the second time during the
past four weeks that the High Council
had voted the general physically unfit
to hold his high Office, the first time
being on January 16 by vote of SIS to 8.
Three speeches in defense of Gen.
Booth were made at today's sessions OF
the high council.
Those who spoke in behalf of the
general Were William A. JoWitt, attor-
ney, who had been refused permission
to represent the generals interest at
the recent adjudication: j. A. Pollard.
the Arny's chancellor of the exchequer
Is years ago, and Maurice Whitlow,
now newspaper man.
Both Pollard and Whitlow, as former
officials of the Army had been called
as witnesses in the new adjudication
proceedings.
The presence of two lawyers repre-
senting the high council at today's ses-
sion was the ground for objection by the
generals representatives, who contended
that the members of the high council
were not defendants, but judges, and
therefore needed no attorneys present.
The council sustained this objection
and the lawyers Immediately retired.

ICE CAVES IN AIR
SEEN BY AV|ATORS
Army Airmen Report Temper
ature of rs Below Zero
at $4,000 Feet.
Ey the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DAYTON, Ohio, February 13.-Two
Army flyers in an old Army plane
reached an unofficial altitude of $4,000
feet from Wright Field yesterday and
brought down with them an account of
condition above the clouds which
meteorologists long have suspected, but
never have been able to prove.
The flyers, Lieut.. johnson and Capt
A. w. Stevens, pilot and photographer,
were forced down by deplenished fuel
at Norton Field, Columbus, Ohio.
Record Is Not Claimed.
The instruments attached to the
plane, used in many test and altitude
flights. indicated that they had reached
an altitude outreaching the record OF
38,420.5 feet held by Lieut.. C. c..
Campion of the United States Navy.
No record was claimed, because rules
of the Federation Aeronautique Inter-
rationale prescribe that the plane
land at the field from which 1t left
the earth.
The two pilots blamed their failure
to establish a record for tWo-man
plane on another phenomenon OF the
air-excessive visibility.
'The ordinary horizon line when
flying is between seven and eight thou
sand feet" they explained. After we
got above the clouds of ice we couldn't
see the ground and the horizon line
above must have been at least $4,000
feet-and we didn't know where we
were"
After they had reached the pinnacle
Of their flight, johnson and Stevens
we're flying in a temperature OF rs
degrees below zero. Then they looked
below and saw what appeared to be
billows of ice crystals, hung In midalr
and resembling the formations OF
cave.
Describe Sight as Dazzling.
The aviators described the spectacle
as a dazzling sight, with the light rays
broken by the fragile crystals into all
the coiors of the spectrum. In order
to verify this seeming mirage OF the
heavens they dipped again and again
into the crystals, and Lieut.. johnson,
to make more certain, removed a glove
ard stuck his bare hand from the
cockpit. 1t was pierced as though by
thousand needles. Not satist1ed,
Capt. Stevens exposed part of his face
and today he bore a huge Ice blister
on one cheek as a souvenir.
Capt. Stevens made several pictures
on the flight, but the results are in
doubt. Exhaust from the engine fouled
the lens several times, and a thick
blanket of snow which covered the ter
ritory over which they flew made his
photographs of little value in studying
the earth from the great height
The aviators plan another flight
within short time, when they expect
to establish a record Two important
changes in their plane and their equip
ment will be made first. Exhaust pipes
from the engine will be extended along
the fuselage tos carry the fumes beyond
the cockpits, for one thing, and the
other Improvement is development of

ing that all the vessels be laid down by

based on the view that it called for ex-
penditures at future dates with no ad-
vance knowledge as to the condition of
the treasury when they would be made.
In addition to providing for the con-
st:uction of the vessels, the measure
calls for an international agreement es-

sponsored by Chairman Borah of the
foreign relations committee and Senator
Reed of Missouri.

Those present were Senators Curtis
and Robinson, majority and minority
leaders of the Senate; Chairman Hale
of the Senate naval committee, Speaker
Longworth. Representatives Tilson and
Garrett, Republican and Democratic
leaders of the House. and Chairman
Smell of the House rules committee.

ing had dispersed Mr.. Coolidge ap-
proved the bill without ceremony. Mr..
Coolidge was alone in his Office at the
time and announcement that the meas
ure had been signed was made by his
secretary, Everett Sanders.

The President has received recon-
mendations from the Budget Bureau
that from $35, 600 900 to $40 900 900 be
made available for work on the cruisers
during the fiscal year 1929-1930 with
a small amount provided for the pres
ent fiscal year.
Under the measure, five cruisers are
to be laid down in each of the three
fiscal years 1929, 1880 and 1881. In
addition. the construction of an air.
craft carrier is authorized to be begun
prior to July /, 1881.
Senator Hale said after today's con-

with the Presidents views, made avail
able at once.

VACATION ENDS NEXT WEEK.
Decision to Terminate Florida Stay
Comes as Surprise.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
BELLE ISLAND, Miami Beach, Fla,
February 3.-President-elect Hoover
will bring to a close his pre-inaugural
vacation in Florida next Monday or
Tuesday when he will return directly to
Washington, where he will remain for
his inaugural on March 4.
This official announcement, made to-
Say by Lawrence Richey, Mr.. Hoovers
personal representative on his Florida
vacation, came as somewhat of sur
prise to some of the President-elects
party although there have been indi-
cations the past few days that Mr..
Hoover was showing desire to get back
to the Capital. Mr.. Richey wanted it
understood, however, that Mr. Hoover's
decision to return to Washington early
next week was not the result of a
hasty decision In explanation of this
Mr.. Richey said:
Will Not Open Headquarters.
It is not Mr.. Hoovers intention to
open up downtown headquarters when
he returns, such as he maintained dur
ing the two weeks intervening between
the time he returned from South
america and his departure for Florida.
He expects to keep close to his home,
at 1900 S street northwest, and it will
he there that he will transact his busi-
mess and receive callers while waiting
for his move to the White House.
There is no miStaking the fact that
iMr. Hoover is faced with tremendous
Iamount of work between now and
March 4.
Most important of all. however, is
the task of completing his inaugural
address and the drafting Of the special
message he will submit to the Congress
when it assemblies in special session in
April. 1t has been said in Mr.. Hoover's
behalf that he has made good progress
In his inaugural address and that with
eeveral days or nights of uninterrupted
work he will be able to complete 1t and
have it ready for the public printer.
The impression among those who have
lbeen with Mr. Hoover on his Florida
vacation is that he is not worrying
much about the framing of his cabinet;
that he has long since virtually com.
lr'cted that important task and is now
rely waiting for the time when he
