EXACT MEANINC IN DOUBT As ID
 REVISION PLAN
CONGRESSIONAL SANCTION BE REQUIRED FOR REDUCTION
 STATED

WASHINGTON, June 18, P)- Confronted with doubts in congress as to the exact meaning Of the Owen Young plan for revision of the German reparations payments and just what it means to the Unit ed States, the Hoover adminiStra- tion insisted that America still views as entirely unrelated, the All lies debts to the United States and the German separations.
 The plan of the Allies to reduce the reparations demands, in pro- portion as debts to the United States might be reduced, were merely memorandum, signed by the Allied and German delegates and expended to experts report, the State Department pointed out.
 It was emphazised that the American experts had not signed the memorandum and that the memo did not hold the committee in any case. Because the Young plan will probably call for a reduc- Itjon in American claims, senators and representatives believe a con

800 KILLED
IN ZION
RIOTS

LONDON, Aug. q I.N.S.).
The French foreign office an
nounces that 500 jews and
Moslems have been killed in
Palestine since last Friday, ac-
cording to Paris advices
printed in the London evening
newspapers today.
Bedouin tribesmen are reported
active, burning villages. in support
of the war the Arabs are making
against Jews in the Holy Land
British airplanes are reported to
have attacked and dispersed Arabs
who were attacking Bethalfa and
Esdraelon.
A message received here via Ber-
lin reported that Arabs burned and
otherwise tortued and mutilated to
death seven Jewish men and women
at Matza. Houses occupied by
Christians at Motza were marked
with blue crosses to signify that
they contained neither Jews nor
Moslems.
Evening newspapers here ex-
pressed belief that the reign of ter
ror in Palestine is rapidly on the
decline, although isolated clashes
between Jews and Arabs are re-
ported in many districts.
Blue Jackets Land
The Landing OF British blue
jackets from the cruiser Sussex
and the arrival of additional mill
tary forces had salutary effect
upon the Moslem Arabs. This eff
feet was especially marked at Jeru-
salem as the result of constant
British troop demonstrations.
Naval authorities at Malta an
nounced this afternoon that, ''in
view of the easier situation" no
more British warships are being
sent to Palestine waters for the
time being, said Central News dis
patch from Malta.
Meanwhile new and powerful
force was injected into the con.
troversy over the rioting between
Moslems and Jews in Palestine
when the gigantic chain of news
papers owned and controlled by
Lord Rothermere launched cam.
British government in Palestine.
DiscOrd Is Seen
While well-informed circles dis
cussed the Palestine outbreaks
more as evidence of growing Mos
lem discord with British rule in
that territory than as a mere anti.
semitic uprising, the Rothermere
papers came out fatty in favor of
change in the British policy with
regard to Palestine.
In strongly-worded editorials, the
newspapers declare that Britain is
not bound by the casual declara-
tion'' of Lord Balfour which led to
the creation of the British protec-
tOrate in Jerusalem. The papers
comment bitterly ON the folly of
attempting to convert an old Arab
state into a sham Jewish nation at
the expense OF the British tax.

Passengers Stood in Horror

Passengers Stood In Horror
Some Of the Crafts passengers, most oA
whom were leaning out of the windows Of
the main cabin, watching the scenes on Mines
Field as the Graf took off, were almost
frozen with horror as the big ship trundled
steadily and seemingly irresistibly toward
the network of high tension wires, lighted
with their red danger lamps.
Would the ship never lift? Nearer and
nearer the dread wires the ship approached,
and still it did not lift.
Then, DR.. Eckener quickly dropped GOO
pounds of emergency water supply, and tho
ship zoomed up, to clear the wires by about
10 feet.
It was the first real scare the passengers
on this epochal flight have experienced in
the operation of the airship.
Lady Hay Remains Calm
Karl Won Wiegand, one of the Zeppelin's
passengers, who has had more experience In
Ilighter-than-air ship travel than any of the
other civilian passengers, was inclined to Be
sharply critical of the handling of the air.

Lady Grace Drummond-Hay, the only
woman passenger aboard, and who has
shared most of the trials through which the
Graf Zeppelin has passed on its various
travels, again was apparently the most un4
affected person on board the ship.
DR.. Eclxener explained the narrow escape
was due to his miscalculation of the air tenn

proved to be only few feet thick
