HOOVER PLAN HELD
DISARMAMENT STEP
Italy Says Proposal Must Be
So Regarded-Terms of
Acceptance Outlined.
BY WILLIAM H. sToNEMAN.

BY Cable to The Star.
ROME, Italy, June 23.-Italy's con-
ditionS for acceptance of President
Hoover's proposal for postponement of
the war debt payments due the United
States during the coming year are re-
vealed as follows:
Germany must agree not to take ad-
vantage Of the breathing spell offered
by moratorium by attempting to ad-
vance her political position in Central
Europe and must give up the Anschluss
idea.
Step Toward Disarmament.
President Hoover's move must be re-
garded as a preliminary step toward
disarmament by all nations and there
must be a tacit understanding that
France will assume slightly more al
truistic tone at the coming disarma-
ment conference than it has evidenced
so far. All former allies must coop
crate in this move.
President Hoover'S move for post
ponement of the war debts has made
profoundly favorable impression in
Italy. 1t has been the Italian policy
during the last year to encourage treaty
revision and 1t is hoped that the Hoover
move will result in a general overhaul
ing of the reparations and war debt
settlement.
Ready to Make Sacrifices.
Foreign Minister Dino Grandi has
openly stated that Italy is ready TO
make sacrifices in order to assist Ger
many and the other defeated nations
out of their difficulties and the authori-
tative Virginio Gayda, writing in the
Giornale D'Italia. has suggested Italy's
willingness to forego those payments
due her from Germany which exceed
the amount paid by Italy on war debts.
Italy, which on June Is made its
annual payment of 50.823, 900 marks
($12,095, ,874) to the United States. will
be called upon to make some sacrifices
If she accepts the moratorium plan and
allows Germany to postpone reparation
payments during the coming year. The
margin between her receipts from Ger
many and payments to the United
States and Great Britain on war debts
would this year amount to $8956,000.
Germany's reparations payment due,
Italy in 1881 amounts to 173, $4,000
marks ($41 .2S1 ,0oO), while Italys pay
ments to Great Britain and the United
States amount to approximately 1885,
600 900 marks 1882 1868, ,000).

MISS NICHOLS RECOVERING.
Two Vertebrae Cracked, but Injury -
Termed Slight.
the AssocIated Prass.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 23.-X-ray pic
lures today revealed that two vertebrae
of Ruth Nichols spine were cracked
when she crashed yesterday at st.
John, New Brunswick. Her doctor re-
ported by telephone, however, that
while the injury was painful it was In
no way serious, as the cracked verte-
brae were not dislocated and would
mend easily and quickly.
The X-ray examination showed Miss
Nichols had suffered no internal injury
and, besides the cracked vertebrae. her
only hurt was a superficial cut on the
knee. When the plane crashed at the
end Of the first leg of projected solo
flight across the Atlantic, Miss Nichols
was thrown forward and an oil tank
behind her tore loose and struck the
end of her spine.
The doctor said that. as soon as the
extreme soreness incident to the spinal
injury, wore of, Miss Nichols would be
tightly bandaged and could then leave
at once for home. 1t was indicated
this might be in three or four days.
1t was emphasized that cracking of
yertebrae was not serious II they were
not dislocated, thus pressing upon and
twisting the nerves running through
the spinal cord.

PLANNERS OPPOSE
23D STREET CIRCLE
Grant Says Half Circle May
Be Developed at Lincoln
Memorial Grounds.

The National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission looks with disfavor on
a circle at Twenty-third street and Con-
stitution avenue, its executive officer,
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, said today
There may, however be a half circle at
that point to mark the entrance into
the Lincoln Memorial Ground, and
designate the Arlington Memorial
Bridge road link, but the colonel be-
lieveS that this development will be some
time in the future.
The commission favors setting up
building line, so that it will be possible
to bring Constitution avenue to the full
width of 80 feet from Virginia avenue
to the Potomac River. There is no need
for so feet at the present time, in the
commissions opinion, and the city's
great memorial avenue of the future
could be paved width Of 10 or ~ feet
at present. A special report on this
subject was just laid before the commis-
sion by Frederick Law Olmsted, Brook
line, Mass, landscape architect, and Col
Grant.
The colonel believes that the north
curb should be established in the west
erly section of Constitution avenue,
when the new buildings are constructed,
including the million dollar Pam
American Union Ofhce Building, the
Public Health Service Building and the
Pharmaceutical Building. Then the
Government could wait to establish the
south curb, until the Navy and NUM-
tions Buildings are moved of the Po-
tomac Park property, as they are now
in the path of this development. This
program would be the cheapest and
best, the colonel explained today. Seven
teenth street at Constitution avenue
was closed to traffic this morning, to
permit the paving Of the new 80-foot
thoroughfare, now being improved from
Fourteenth street to Virginia avenue In
front of the Navy Building at Virginia
avenue, a curved curb has been con-
structed, where the 80-foot Constitution
avenue flarrows down to the old width
of the former B street westward to the
river. This will be the temporary ar
rangement, until the thoroughfare is
widened westward.
