WASHINGTON FROWNS
ON CONFERENCE IDEA

Washington, Oct. 31.-(P)-No in
ternational conference is included in
the expectations of the American
government respecting war debt and
reparation revision.
No such conference was contem-
plated in the discussions between
President Hoover and Premier Laval,
and although it is for European ma
tions themselves to settle how to
take the initiative toward reparatiou
reductions. the United States would
not expect to take part in ahy con-
ference which might be called.
The understanding here is that
France will continue to insist that
the Young plan be the basis Of any
revision. Under that plan, it only is
necessary for Germany to apply for
a resurvey, and a committee is set
up automatically. The plan makes
no provision for an international
conference.

Charges Involving Letters

Grand Jury on four charges of
false pretenses in connection with
the sale of property encumbered

to them that the property was
encumbered with a definite e
amount, while he knew that it
was encountered for much
greater SE:n.
