BRAND RECEIVES
 ANSWERS ID NOTE
Great Britain Fears Move May
 Affect League

Paris. July 19 UP)-Aristi1e Briand probably will begin analyz- ing the replies to his questionnaire on an economic European federation this weekend, when virtually all the o6 nations concerned are expected to have their answers deposited at the foreign office.
 With the receipt Of Great Britain's s answer Thursday night, only Bel gium, Hungary Jugoslavla, Albania and Bulgaria had not arrived, but 1t was understood their legations in Paris would deliver their replies yesterday or today.
 Great Britain was the only coun- try among those which already haEe answered to indicate a feeling that Briand's federation was unnecessary, and that the League of Nations could do the work of removing tarjH barriers. The British government was most courteous in it's reply, but IL left no doubt that it believed the federation would be useless
 Defends League
 Such an organization. the British reply said, might give the impression that the league was inadequate an1 incompetent. An entire page or the six page note was devoted to out lining the accomplishment Of the league. such as the Warsaw sanitary conference in 1922 and the recon- struction of Austria and Hungary.
 After pointing out those functions the note said Great Britain belleV@d the suggestions contained Tn Briand's questionnaire should mere ly be inserted in the leagues agen0a' thereby avoiding any possible com plications.
 All the other answers already re- ceived were favorable to the note, although most of them contalne reservations in one form or another' and revealed diverse opinions as 10 organizations and matters for dis cussion.
 Most of the replies objected to a secretariat and the leagues system of rotation of membership, ooserF- ing that if lhe federation were TO be a fair representation of the Euro- pean nations on economic questoIlS' all should be represented all the time.
 The various reservations indicated clearly the peculiar interests or geographical locations of the couh- tries making them. Spain ana or tugal insisted. for example. that the federation should constitute no threat toward South America, "hl.e Switzerland was anxious for guar antee of neutrality.

AGED TURK READY
 FOR TOUR 0F u. 5.
Managers Say Trip Will Be Dig
 niied-Spurn Vaudeville

New York, July 19 UP)-Zaro Agha rubbed the sleep from his aged Turkish eyes this morning and started out to show America how spry one can be at 156 if one really sets out to outdo Methuselah.
 Faro says he is 156 and has a birth certificate and a passport to corroborate him, so that unless you happened to be stopping in Biltis, Asia Minor, on Feb. Is, I774, and knew for fact that the health de- day, you are in no position todis- pute his claim.
 The worlds oldest resident took time off from his job as honorary door keeper at Constantinoples city hall to tour the United States in crder to get a new set of false teeth and save up some money for his old age.
 Faro. model Moslem, never touched a drop of liquor, he admits. His managers, all three of them, de- clare his tour is going to be digni- field They say they have refused offers from amusement companies and publicity seeking organizations, but will let their protege appear before medical clinics so that the country's physicians may get first hand information on how to live to be 156.
 Has Twelfth Wife
 Faro was brought to thisu coun- try by Assm Pedvan, importer of Turkish antiquities. He had to leave his wife. mere girl of 66, behind. The prAent Mrs. Agha IS No. 12. the other II having died.
 There was a time when Faro was offered another wife. That was aft CT he had saved the life of the Emir of Afghanistan when the latter was on a visit to Constantinople, and the Emir, to show his appreciation, sent dark eyed beauty of that country 10 marry him.
 But while the Koran allows true Moslems four wives, Faro had be- come convinced one at a time was enough, and he sent the girl back. Arteries Hardened In his prime, at l45, Zaro weigh ed PIP and was feet tall. He has shrunk slightly since then, b-t seems to be in good condition. The immigration doctor who examined him found a slight hardening of the arteries the only one of common de fleets of old age he possessed. Faro has never been believer in that theory about "one crowded hour of glorious life" He has spread his into three centuries an.l admits to taking part in 14 wars. During his military days. he says, he fought Napoleon's forces in Syria and opposed the Greek rebels whos- cause was espoused by Lord Byron At 1o3, a little too old for active | fighting. he contented himself with carrying pieces of ordnance.
 His tour is expected to include 1 Chicago, Cincinnati, Washington. Detroit, Cleveland. Philadelphia, l Buffalo and Louisville. He will call on Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York and President Hoover.
