Atlanta Editor Believes Peace
of Europe Depends on
Friendly Terms.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
BERLIN, August 14--In the opinion
of Julian Harris, news director of the
Atlanta Constitution, an agreement be-
tween Germany and France is necessary
for the peace of Europe, and is as in
eWtable as 1.-THE revision of the Young
plan or the Polish corridor"
Mr. and Mrs. Harris are on tour OF
Europe, making an exhaustive study OF
European conditions, by appointment of
the Carl SchurZ Memorial Association,
under the auspices of Obsrlaender trust.
THE attitude of France toward the
Hoover plan, while understandable
from the historic viewpoint" said Mr..
Harris seems to me unsound, for /
am confident that the complete peace
and prosperity of Europe depends upon
a fair and frank agreement between
the Germans and the French. 1t also
is my opinion, that while an under
standing between the two great nations
is temporarily postponed, 1t Is as newt
able as a revision of the Young plan or
the Polish corridor.
MY beliefs are based on the assump-
ton that the French people are still a
nation of realists. If this is true, France
must be aware that from the moment
of the announcement of the Hoover
plan, although it was free from political
instigation, her power entered a dimin-
ishing stage.

that Chancellor Bruening's strength was

Il Il the friendship of Haywood
Broun, columnist, is told by Co.
lumbia's information writers. Ross is
but five feet, five inches tall. while
Broun towers over him to much greater
size.
One night, the story goes, during the
course of one Of his informal talks be-
fore the microphone, Broun childed ra-
dio announcers for their almost pain
fully precise diction" He grinned glee-
fully at Ross as he talked.
At the end Of the broadcast, Ross
stepped to the microphone, assumed a
hardboiled tone of voice and ended the
program by announcing:
'La-dees and gents, dis is de way Hey
wood Broun would like us radio an
nouncers tub talk, and dis concludes his
broadcast dis evenin'. David Ross an
nouncin' over de Columbia Broadcasttn'
System"
Ross tried his hand at many things
before radio became his career. He
served as a reporter on a small town
newspaper, played stray parts in musical
comedies, wrote advertising copy and
book reviews, was teacher in an
orphan asylum and secretary to a Rus
sian baroness. AT college he studied
liberal arts, then agriculture subjects,
serving as waiter at campus eating
places and writing poetry to help pay
expenses, but never finished any course.
His start in radio was as a dramatic
reader at Station WGBS. 1t was an
odd JOB, but his voice attracted some
executive and Ross was engaged as an
announcer. He has been with Columbia
for two years. He also finds time to
write verse and to collect old books and
manuscripts and conducts his own
poetry reading period over the radio.

GROUP CALLED
. At INQUIRY.
gronWorker Whose Letter in
Murder Quiz Caused Stir Isl
Expected to Testify

The last of the witnesses to
appear before the Grand Jury
investigating the Beulah Limerick
murder mystery, may be heard
when the drawn-out probe re-
sumes the case at 1890 today.
Those slated to testify are Mrs.
Julia Bywater;, sister of the
slain girl, who was on the stand
when the session closed yester
day; Robert Annadale, William
Limerick, Mrs. Anna Schenther
and Detective Sergt. John Fla
herty, chief of the Homicide
Squad.
1t is probable that Frederick G.
Taylor, 47-year-old iron worker,
whose testimony caused a flare
up in the tagging case, yesterday,
and Capt. Edward j. Kelly, as
sistant chief of detectives. may be
recalled. Taylor, who had been
held by police, following his
writing a letter to a member of
the Limerick family, was released
yesterday.
Mrs. Dora Limerick. mother of
the murdered usher, was forced to
resort to restoratives when she
left the jury room yesterday. She
had been closeted for about an
hour.

Hoover, a luncheon at the Willard
and then train to New York.
He's coming back to try and raise
his own mark.
The captain has been racing
since 1905 when he started on a

he says. Speed has no terrors
for him.
Driving at the terrific speed,
it takes about five miles to bring
