YACHT MURDER

HUNTINGTON, N. Y, Oct. 81
GNSD.-New impetus, it was de-
clared today had been given the
investigation of the murder Of
Benjamin P. Ceilings, slain aboard
his yacht, the Penguin, in Long
Island Sound on the night of Sep
tember 9, by the reports of DR..
Alexander o. Goettler and other
toxicologists working on the case.
The new developments centered
around the fact that the toxicolo-
giStS have found themselves unable
to determine whether the blood
stains found on the cabin floor of
the Penguin are human blood.
The doctors analyzing all blood
stains found at the scene of the
crime, found that the stains on two
milk bottles were human blood
while those on the cabin floor
could not be determined.

PEOPLE RISING
AGAINST DEBT
REVISION
Returning Members Of Con-
uress Report Growing Re-
volt by Folks Back Home

A rising tide OF opposition
among the folks back home" to
revision or cancellation Of Eu-
ropean war debts was reported
today by returning members Of
Congress.
The issue, precipitated into
public discussion by the Hoover
Laval conference and other activi-
ties, has caused debate which
reaches from the banking house
to the country general store.
People Apprehensive
The rank and file Of the people,
one member reported, "are very
apprehensive" that . tremendous
drive will be made for revision or
cancellation within the next year.
Reporting the sentiment Of the
people in his Ohio district, Rep
resentative John L. Gable said:
81 am absolutely against any
debt cancellation. When We set
tied the debts, we virtually can
celled the principal, and it
would be foolish to give mp the
interest also.
81 find the people are tired
OF American capital being used
to build factories In Europe,
using cheap labor and import
ing goods into this country in
competition with our own work
men.
II will vote for q One-year
moratorium, but no more"
Sentiment In Kansas
Representative Hope tR0 of
Kansas said he found a similar
sentiment among the voters OF
his district.
"A few people urge that we
could open up markets for our
wheat and other products If
we cancelled the debts, but,
generally speaking, the people
are opposed to it: at least,
unless it is accompanied by
something to give us an ad-
vantage in return, such as dis
armament.
There also is strong oppOsi-
ton against any further exten-
sion of the moratorium unless
we gain some Concessions"

BERLIN, Oct. 81 G.NSO.-The
German government today noti-
fled the League of Nations of it's
acceptance Of the one-year arma.
ment holiday proposed by Foreign
Minister Dino Grandi, of Italy.
An extension of the Hoover debt
holiday, they point out, would
only mean continuance of the

many would have to appeal to
the Bank for International Settle
ments to name an investigating
committee to inquire into her ca.
pacity to pay, and that step
would have to be taken under the
Young plan.
Wants New Schedule
The Reich is determined to
escape this, if possible. because
under the Hoover moratorium it
must continue to meet the uncon-
ditional payments to France pro-
vided by the Young plan, though
| as a matter of practice, France
| is now returning those payments
to Germany in the form of credits.
