WORLD POWERS
MUST SETTLE
DEBTS FUTURE
After Hoover Holiday
What? Is Query of
SimmS.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMS
serIpps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, June 26.--After
the Hoover moratorium-what?
Unless some definite and accept
able international program can be
agreed upon within the time limit
set, thus ending the menace of col
lapse in Europe, leaders both here
and abroad warn that either Ease
ism or Communism will sweep the
continent.
In an effort to settle this fateful
problem, therefore, the United
States and other great powers today
are on the eve of the most hectic
twelve months period an anxious
world has seen since the war.
BY the same token State Secre-
tary Stinson's impending visit to
Germany, France, Italy and Eng
land begins to assume an import
ance far beyond what was at first
popularity attached thereto. His re-
port to Mr.. Hoover upon his return
TO Washington will determine
largely not only the nature, but the
extent Of American participation in
the moves to follow.
Parleys Imperative
Innunerable international parleys
will be imperative during the next
year. First in Importance, is the
world conference on arms reduction
and limitation scheduled to begin
at Geneva next February. Upon
the success or failure Of this pretty
much everything else will depend.
Second, there most likely will be
a conference to determine the future
Of reparations and war debts. for it
is pretty generally conceded, even
now, that revision of some kind or
other has become inevitable.
Meetings Are Important
Third, France and Germany are
expected to get together and try to
iron out some Of the dangerous diff
ferences which have separated them
for the last year.
Fourth, Premier Ramsay Mac
Donald and Foreign Minister Ar
thur Henderson of Great Britain are
due to 90 to Berlin next month to
confer with Chancellor Bruen,lg
and Foreign Minister Curtius of the
German reich. In the light OF de-
velopments since these four states
men last met in England, at Che
ouers, this meeting is likely to prove
important.
The Franco German attempt to
get together is a move Of first mag
nitude. Since the death Of the Ger
man foreign minister, Stresemann,
relations between the two countries
rapidly have gone from bad to worse
until today they constitute a menace
to European peace.

OLD .FAVORITE
PICKED FOR
SHEARER
By HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1881, Premier
Gvndi ,afa Incl

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June 4.
A reaction, mild but discernible,
that Norma Shearer should come
out in a different type of pic
ture has caused a change OF
plans at Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer.
The star now is slated to make
the romantic "Smilin' Thru" in
stead of Noel Coward's Sophisti-
Gated comedy, Private Lives"
AS things stand now, she will
start work shortly after her re-
turn from Europe about August /.
Norma's latter-day stories have
been immensely popular, but close
observers of the situation believe
she should change her tack, lest
the public grow weary of smart,
emancipated heroines. Knowing
when to vary a type of role is
one of the difficult things in
the film business. So far Miss
Shearer and her advisers have
been very smart.
She'll run into that stubborn
halo people put around old ia
vorites in rem aking "Smilin'
Thru" Norma Talmadge is best
remembered by many fans for
her work in the silent version.
Even she refused to try to re-
capture the charm of the old
picture. Mary Pickford, likewise,
was frightened off. But Miss
Shearer has courage, and she
likes the story.
The outcome will be some
thing to look forward to.

Clarksburg, w. Va, Dec 14.- (UP)-Harry F. Powers, sentenced to hang for the murder of Doro- thy Lemke. of Northboro, Mass. charged to-day that he was the victim of prejudiced community and that he did not receive an- impartial trial.
 The convicted "bluebeard" wrote a lengthy statement in his cell de- claring that "a theater-full of folks is bound to reflect upon the very proceedings of the court."' Powers trial was held in an old opera house, the only building in this town large enough for the pro- ceedings.
 "This projudiced feeling" he wrote, twas quite evident through out the trial and this sentiment prevailed everywhere in the thea ter where the "free-for-all" trial was held"
 Practically every juror," he stated, admitted upon examina ton that he had formed a decided opinion from what he had read or hetrd previous to the trial. These jurors were permitted to sit in the jury box over objections by the defense.

 ings may be surprised to know sHas That ls, she has a pale ana fNl countenance and is actually 6eves2 of life and warmth on the zMe& but inside here there's a hot .IAzz4 in the old moon tonight ana every night. So concludes v. $. Forbes, Cambridge university, Ems land. in a thesis on radio activity in the moon.
 Forbes states there is such an amount of radio active material in- side the moon that 1t causes ffe moons face to erupt and thus forms the mountains we note. Tn other words, the moons peaks are c0r- tinuaIiy popping out from within Were 1t not for this inner energy, Forbes says, the moons face would be battered fiat, because it is with- out the shield of atmosphere sur- rounding the earth. Meteors are continually bombarding it while they seldom touch the earth due to it's atmospheric wrapping.
 The moons coma, however, must some day end in death, Forbes de- clares. because radio active heat generation cannot continue for-s ever.
 But there are things other than cosmic included in the SmitheDn- ian report-the homely chair, for instance. Walter Hough writes \. story of the evolution of places to sit. The stool was the first de- tached chair.
 Certain Peruvian Indians, acc cording to Hough, allowed only the men to sit on chairs while the wo- men were relegated to the floor if they wished to rest. He suggests that modern complexity in chair styles was derived from fashions and cites the head rest originating in response to fashions in hair dressing.
