Silver Loan Urged
As Aid to GernlUnu

AS a means Of aiding Germany
in her present financial crisis
and at the same time improving
the silver situation, a proposal
was submitted to President Hoover
yesterday for the United States
to loan Germany 200 to 400 mil
lion ounces of the Federal Treas
ury'S silver reserve.
The proposal came from the
international Silver Commission
in Denver. It was regarded un-
likely, however, that the Presi-
dent would seriously consider
such q loan.

BUFFERS POLICE
PLANS CONFLICT

Salem. Ore. UP)-Policies su.g-
gested by Major-General Smedley d.
Butler concerning the oregon state
police organization appear to be in
conflict in some degree.
Lack of time will not permit the
organization to be thoroughly
trained before it makes its public
appearance, Charles Pray, super
intendent of police, explained.
Butler had stressed the necessity
of a perfectly trained force, claim
ing it's initial appearance would
create an important impression.
Pray said the uniforms would
be distinctive but not gaudy; mo-
torcycles will be used for trans
portation wherever possible: no
discrimination will be made with
regard to age; it will make no
difference if members are married
or single, and other suggestions
offered will not be deemed i'm
perative.
Butler advocated an organiza-
ton of young. unmarried men. He
suggested uniforms with lots of
brass and color" Butler said
touring cars carrying first aid
fire fighting and general motor
lists relief equipment were the
more practicable for transporta-
ton.

CHINA FAVORINC
LOVE MATCHES

Peiping (UP)-Three of the high
est officials in China, General Chang
Kai-shek. Marshal Chang Hseuh-
lang, and H. II. Kung, minister of
industry. have given great impetus
to the movement for "love matches"
in China. '-~.',-.
The Chinese press recently re-
ported that General Chang had
arranged" marriage between
the eldest daughter of Marshal
Chang, who is IA, and the eldest
son of Kung.
But Chu kwang-mu, Marshal
Changs' chief secretary, explains
that the press report is not true.
He said that Marshal Chang and
kung both believe in love match
es," and did not arrange mar
riage between the young people.
1t is true. however, Chu declared,
that General Chang suggested that
such a marriage would be a happy
one, and that Marshal Chiang's
daughter was introduced to kungs
son during the Marshars recent trip
to Marking.
This official version of the Incl
dent has encouraged youthful refor-
mers, who are fighting the old sy-
stem of arranging marriages sight
unseen" in China.

WATERVuLE

Next Sunday amateur league
games should provide plenty of ex-
element for Waterville fans who
have not yet fully recovered the
orgy of base hits which took place
on the local park diamond last Sun
day. The undefeated Waterville
Maroons who lead the City Recrea-
tional league as defending cham
pions will meet the second place
Oakville Davies in what promises to
be one of the best games of the
season This will be the first meet
ing this year of these teams whose
scheduled game on the official OPEN
ing day of the league was washed
out.
The Waterville Crescents who fell
suit of dropping their last two
games will engage the AGNES and
are out to redeem their defeats.
This attitude should spell a great
deal of trouble for the Acmes.

STOLEN AUTOMOBILE USED In BURGLARY
BIGGEST PAPER
IN GERMANY HAS
UNITED PRESS
News Service in Use By the
Democrat Will Be Used
By Berliner Tageblatt in
Future

New York, July 10-(UP)-The
Berliner Tageblatt, often described
as one of the five greatest newspa-
pers of the world, has signed a long
term agreement for the world wide
news service of the United Press as
sociations, it was announced to-day
at United Press headquarters here.
The agreement also gives United
Press exclusive world rights outside
of Germany to all of the German
news gathered by Tageblatt staff.
This will augment the German COW
erage of United Press through it's
own correspondents, as well as
through news reports received from
newspapers served by the United
Press in 20 German cities outside
Berlin, and news reported by the
Telegrafen Union.
The Tageblatt, now in it's sixtieth
year, circulates throughout Ger
many and generally is regarded as
probably the most influential news
paper in the country. It's editor,
Theodor Wolff, is a personality of
national Importance seldom achieved
b. a newspaper editor.
Tageblatt heretofore has depend
ed largely upon its own correspond
ents for world news. The new ar
rangement just concluded between
Rudolf Mosse, the publisher, and
DR. Edward j. Bling, manager Of the
European continental division of
the United Press, will give to Tage-
blatt a continuous flow of news

blatt, the Berliner Volks Zeitung,

Claim Agents
Machine Figures
In Grill "Break"
Stolen Gambling Machine Found in Car of Frank Bailey
New Haven Auto Found on Fuller Street Entirely
Dismanted

Mr. Bailey reported that he had
left his machine parked near the
corner of Highland and Ledgeside
avenues. 1t disappeared about 1880
o'clock last evening. Mr. Bailey's
report of the incident was broadcast
over the police teletype to all parts
of the state.
Early this morning Walter Will
son, resident of Wolcott. heard
someone pounding away on some
object a few yards from his home.
He dismissed the noise with the
thought that it was some passing
autoist unfortunate enough to have
a flat tire. This morning, however,
he discovered the abandoned ma
chine. 1t had missed a small bridge
and had plunged into a gully. 1t
was necessary to call a wrecking
crew to have the machine pulled
back to the highway and towed back
to the city. Whether it was an &C
cident or intentional the stolen ma
chine was left by the side of the
road. The wrecked gambling device
indicated the purpose for which the
car had been borrowed.
The New Haven car was found
early this morning and it's owner
notified that the authorities here
were agreeable to having him re-
move what was left of the machine.

NEWS OF HOOVER
MUST COME FROM
GOOD AUTHORITY
Secretary to the President
Tells the News Writers
Where They Get Off

Washington. July 10.-UP)-
The White House to-day inaugu-
rated policy that all news con-
corning President Hoover should
come from authorized sources at
the executive offices.
Theodore Joslin, one of the presi-
dents secretaries, told newspaper
men that all accounts of the presi-
dents activities should henceforth
come from stated sources. Joslin
and Mr. Hoover are the only official
sources of news at the White House.
Joslin's announcement followed
an investigation to determine the
sources of some Is minor human in
terest stories about the president.
Secret service men and other at
taches at the White House were
questioned and all were warned not
to talk to anyone about Mr. Hoov-
er's doings.
Some of the stories which are
understood to have been investi-
gated were the account of the pres
ident's hurried trip from Rapidan
camp to Washington last Sunday;
the fact that Attorney General
Mitchell came to luncheon with him
after he had gone; the moratorium
on noise he declared when he
wanted to take a nap one afternoon;
and the telephone arrangements
used for trans Atlantic conferences
with Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion.
White House announcements are
in the nature of official COM
muniques and usually deal with
affairs. Information
concerning other aspects of the
presidents activities customarily
has been obtained by newspa permen
from other sources.

FRANCE TO GIVE
BACK WARSHIPS

Paris.-The French government
has announced that the ministry of
marine was prepared to give back
to the Soviet Russian government
the twelve former cZarist warships
which have been turning to rust in
! the blue waters of Bizerta harbor,
Tunisia.
The Moscow government was re-
ported to be preparing to ask
France to return the warships.
France would be more than pleased,
for Bizerta harbor is none too big
and the presence of the old war
ships congests the harbor.
The fleet includes one frst-line
battleship, one cruiser, one auxiliary
cruiser, five destroyers and four sub
marines.
These vessels were used to evac-
uate the Wrangel army. carrying
them from Crimea to Tunis. where
they were split up, the soldiers and
officers scattering over the world
while the warships were interned.
Since that time the ships have
been unattended and 1T is doubtful
If they could ever be made sea-
worthy again. The wooden decks
have rotted under the African sun
and rains, the bottoms are covered
with barnacles and the sides are red
with rust The boilers and engines
have rusted and fallen apart.
The French government will re-
ply to Moscow that there is no OBJ
lection to Soviet sailors taking the
vessels over. but Russia must bear
all the expense of returning them to
a Russian port.

Two automobiles reported to the
police here and throughout the state
as having been stolen were recov-
cred early today by members of the
Waterbury Police Department.
Ford coupe owned by the New Ha-
ven Plumbing Supply company was
found abandoned near the intersec-
ton of Fuller and Slocum streets. 1t
had been completely dismantled.
The wheels, battery, spare tire and
accessories had been removed and
carried away.
The second car, the property OF
Frank j. Bailey, claim agent of the
Connecticut Company, was found in
Wolcott. 1t had been abandoned
following an accident. 1t later de-
veloped that the machine had been
used in connection with burglary
at the Palace Grill, located near the
corner of East Main and Silver
streets. A gambling machine stolen
from the grill was found in the car.
1t had been battered into pieces and
the contents of it's cash box taken.
The police suspect that it is but
another "flare-up" in the activities
of youths, who believe that 1T Is no
crime to burglarize a place where an
illegal gambling device is located.
Several youths in state prison now
realize otherwise

Mine OPERATORS
MET AT CAPITAL
BUT DID NOTHING
Meeting Called By Secre-
tary Lamont Was Failure
Miners and Wives
Were There Too

Washington, July 10 (UP)--
Right and left wings in the soft
coal industry, returning home to-
day after an invasion of the capital,
were agreed on one thing-that a
national coal conference would ac-
complish little good for anyone
concerned.
Stern-faced operators met for
four hours yesterday with Secretary
of Commerce Lamont and Secretary
of Labor Doak. They came at the
call of Lamont to air their views
on the distressed conditions of the
industry and on possible remedies.
They reached no conclusions. but
exuded an air of pessimism gener-
ally.
Stern-faced and shabby miners.
with their wives and children, came
in trucks from their homes in the
Pennsylvania coal fields. They
marched around the White House
and presented a petition to the
president through Theodore Joslin
