Hoover Plan Well
 Received In Europe
(Continued from Page 1)

many would have prompted presi- Ident Hoover to take this step, for un- ltil recently the administration was
 averse to discussing the situation at Ian. But a run on the German
 Reichsbank since June l has drained
 gold out so rapidly as to cause the
 gravest concern. Furthermore. the
 Bruening government was barely lclinging on, serving as a thin parti- tion between the allied world and tthe rapidly growing nationalist or
 fascist group which was threatenins
 to seize the government of a plat form of war debt repudiation.
 Bruening. trying to hold Ger many's credit up in the outside world, was risking his political life Ito maintain the sancitity of German Government obligations. The allied Governments especially Britain, were lin no position politically to suspend Preparations collections without ob- |taining equivalent relief on their war |debt payments at Washington.
 In this crisis MT Hoover interyen- ed, suddenly. dramatically. to save the German government from going into the hands of the militsnt ex- |tremists who want to repudiate. all to save Germany from financial collapse which would have some $2,000,000,O00 of American private investments there. In the event reparations were stop ped allied debt payments probably
 would have stopped also. Then there lis the more positive side, the chance
 that the years debt holiday might drive away the blues and start busi-
 ness in general on a steady upward climb.
 Oficials here hope France will see the situation in this broad light rather than in terms of immediate
 payments Officials said France was
 mildly favorable" Press dispatches
 from Paris are not so optimistic.
 France appears to be holding back because of opposition to suspending the "non-postponable" reparations payable under the Young plan. This money goes largely toward restora- |tion of devastated regions. whereas the postponable part is that used by
 France to make her debt payments.

What Each Nation
 Is to Suffer
lContinued from Page l,

The United states thus by mora torium would sacrifice $1S4,00O,O0o that could be applied to the present treasury deficit.
 While this is a large sum, the gov ernment's budget runs into the pli- lions, and the deficit now IS nearly one billion. Hence it is not believed that postponement of payments to the United States would have any serious affect on this governments finances or would be an important factor leading to any possible tax increase.
 The proposed moratorium would affect other nations as follows;
 France-receives at present from Germany s1s9.706,sso yearly; from other $1,804,140; total of $2Ol,-- 541,020. She pays out to the United States $39,993,78O; to Great Britain, $64,790.400, a total of $104,7S4,1S0. The difference in Frances favor IS s96,756,840. This is the amount she ia called upon to sacrifice under President Hoover's proposal for a complete moratorium. She has in- dicated that she may insist on Ger many continuing to pay her enough to offset this loss.
 Great Britain-Receives from France s64,79o.40O: from Germany. $S6,22s,400; from Italy. $22,819,560; from others $6,S80,160: total, $780, 69S,520. Britain pays to the United states $159,927.480. She would sac- rifice $20,771,040, and has indicated her willingness to do so.
 Italy-Receives from Germany. $45,44S,Ss0. Pays to the United state $15.sO1.660; to Britain $22.- si9,b6O; total, $37,421,220. Italy would lose $8,027,e40 this year.
 Other Allies-receive from Ger many, $59,311,S00. Pay to the U. s., Great Britain and France, $17,364,- 7s0. Thus under a complete suspen- sion of payments they would sacri- fice this year $41,947,020.
 Germany--pays in reparations to France $199,706.SS0; to Britain, $86,22s,400 to Italy, $45,448,s60; to others $54,19O,500; special debt and other payments, $41,5s9,72o; total $427,164,060. This Is what she would save under years morato- rum.
 In all cases it is only the inter- governmental obligations that would be affected by the suspension of payments. Loans to European gov ernments by private bankers would not be involved.

mer where no cover crop is grown with the usual fertilization system" Nil Morgan said to-day. We learned this from our analyses of drainage losses and the harvested tobacco crop in the lysimeter studies of the last two years.
 "The cover crop takes up consid- erable nitrogen and other plant nu- trients and holds them for time against draining away. Hitherto, cover crops have been considered valuable chiefly for their contribu- tion of humus material to the soil. We shall study their properties of conserving the chemical elements necessary for the growth of the to- bacco crop"
 Both organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen will be inyesti- gated, with rye, oats, and timothy as cover crops. and comparison will be made with soil that remains bare be- tween tobacco growing periods.

Firm believers in the adage "an ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure" health and park of ficials this morning combined to give some advice to swimming fans who enjoyed the water over the week. end and who are looking forward to a splendid season of bathing. Swim in supervised pools and beaches and be careful of your condition before entering the water" is the advice which is given out to forestall acci- dental drownings which took six lives in Waterbury last summer.

New Haven, June 22.-How to save costly plant nutrients from be- ing washed out of the soil by rains. is the object of a new study by M. k. Morgan, in charge of soils re- search at the Connecticut Agricul- tural Experiment station.
 To conduct the experiment, "A tanks 30 inches deep have been in- stalled in the lysimeter equipment at Windsor, where the amount of fer tilizer that passes through the soil, and the amount taken up by the plant, can be measured exactly and analysed. Tobacco will be grown during the summer and when 1t is harvested "cover crops" which may be ploughed under the following spring to enrich the soil, will be planted.
 Fall and spring rains wash more nitrogen out of the soil than was used by the plant the previous sum .

 Park officials stated that all are welcome in the pools where super visors keep a sharp lookout for the bathers and also teach the non- swimmers how to swim.

 Dr Carr said he knew both Mrs Faithful and Sylvia" (Elizabeth Tucker Faithful, Starr's sister.) He said he did not know promin- ent Bostonian whose name has fig ured in reports of a $20.000 settle ment involving Starr in 1927.
 A detective of the Nassau county police department met the boat when 1t docked at Boston. He Is understood to have brought one of Dr Carr's letters here, which was later released by Inspector Haroli R. King. The letter read:
 Dear Dr Carr:

 "I had brought some liquor with me and had bene drinking too fast I became intensely irrational when drink and l want to know how deeply sorry l am for the embar- rassment I caused you.

 Stanley Faithful said to-day that in his opinion. this letter was mol written by Starr.

ures of legislation. His Honor ex- pressed the hope that the state aerie, which was formed her 25 years ago would return again to Waterbury for their deliberations. A vote of thanks was given to the mayor for his welcome and other evidence of the city's hospitality to the visitors.
 One of the outstanding features of the morning session was the surprise presentation of beautiful gold watch to Waterbury's grand old man of Eagledom - Matthew J. Smith, first president of the local aerie, first president of the state erie. a past grand aerie officer and an ac- tive, enthusiastic worker for the or der for the past 23 years. The pre- sentation speech was made by Ray mond S. Bergen, president of the To- cal aerie. The state delegates ac- copded Matt" Smith one of the big gest ovations of his long fraternal career. He voiced his gratitude to his brother members for their re- membrance. He was inclined to dis

Washington Fashions
-Bv WILMA LA WILLIE

Have you noticed how many
fur-trimmed frocks have sprung
into prominence the last Two or
three weeks? AS some one has
said, they have become almost
an epidemic. Street frocks, af-
ternoon frocks and evening
gowns are all growing fur, and
they rival each other in smart
ness.
Fur is used nearly always as
band around the sleeves,
about the peplum or the hip
line or sometimes around the
bottom of the skirt. Often a
sleeveless frock has a separate
jacket with fur used on 1t. Pas
tells often boast this fur trim
ming, as the fur colors blend so
beautifully with the colors OF
the frock. Black, brown and
white fur are all popular &C
cording to the color OF the
dress they are used on.
The frock we are Sketch1ng
is the type that may be used
for festive daytime OCCASION
for afternoon or for an in
formal evening affair. It's in
a lovely gold color that Is popu-
lar now and the fur is white.
It's double breasted effect is
fashionable as are the ball but
