United Press Staff Correspondent 4 Paris, June 30.--(UP)--A dead lock was feared to-day in tho Franco<American conversations looking to an agreement on Presi- dent Hoover''s war debts and repara- tions holiday plan. '
 Andrew w. Mellon, secretary of the treasury said that the converse tions had been adjourned until to- morrow. A crisis was indicated, an it was understood that he had been compelled to ask Washington for further instructions. i
 Mellon and Walter M. Edge, the United States ambassador, both were far more optimistic than the French that an accord would be reached on the French and American view points. They admitted, however, that their opinions still were ~"wide- ly divergent" "* |
 There appeared to be slight pos sibility that the French would move until Washington. comedies the pri- mary point-the length of time to be given Germany to. pay up the years unconditional annuities. France wants the annuities and in- cidental payments totaling 612,000,- 900 marks (about $145,256,00O) paid in five years. Washington has held out for 25. Germany wants to pay in 1888, at the, end of the Young plan.
 Mellon and Edge spent the morn ing conferring. They consulted Washington by cable, while the French prepared to defend their reservations in the senate.
 The negotiations were said to be most cordial, but the French ap- parently have made it clear that they are not willing to yield to a on their reservation to the Hoover plan. The French ac- cepted the American proposal for 8 debts mpratorium, with the reser- vation that Germany pay its uncon- ditional annuities during the year of grace to be granted under Hoov. er's project.
 Mellon talked with Premier Pierre Laval and other members of the government late last night, when 1t was announced that a recess was taken until Wednesday. The gem eral impression was that Mellon and Walter E. Edge. the United States ambassador. had encoun- tered great difficulty in attempting

 Neither Mellon nor Edge was communicative when they departed. Laval, Aristide Briand, the foreign minister; Minister of Fiance Pierre Etienne F'landin and other negoti- ators also remained reticent.
 Premier Laval conferred with tho French negotiators after the Ameri- cans departed. It was understood that the, French position in support of the governments reservation to the debt plan remained unchanged.

COUNTRY PLAY
 HOUSE OPENED
 UP AT WESTPORT
New Repertoire Company Presented Old Stage Thriller, Don B0uci= cault's "The Streets of New York"

Westport, Conn, June 30.-UP) The Country Play House was of ficia1ly opened here last night when the New Repertory company pre- scented Don Boucicaults' old time thriller, The Streets of New York" before an audience which filled the old barn to overflowing.
 Daniel Frohman journeyed up from the big city in company with several other celebrates, to dedicate the playhouse which in one short month has been erected around an old barn set in the middle of Q typical New England apple orchard. The theater was the work of Cleon Throckmorton, designer of the now famous Cape Cod playhouse and boasts stage as large as the average Broadway theater. The brilliant yellow fringed, red curtain and other incidentals give it a fine Elizabethian flavor, while the old melodrama and the incidental mu- sic arranged by Dr Sigmund Spaeth added greatly to the fun of the au- dienee who missed the villain, and cheered the hero until the rafters rang.
 Dorothy. Gish was the heroine, the object of the thwarted affec- tons of Rol1o Peters who played the handsome hero with just that t.l.sh ot sauness that seemed neces- sary to win the swooning gentle sex during the era when sense of hu- nor must have, been listed as one of the seven deadly sins.

PRESIDENT COMPLETES PLANS ID WARD OFF
 WINTER UNEMPLOYMENT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 10. P-A public buildings campaign for the expenditure of $500, ,000,O 900 will be under way by autumn, President Hoover announced, in explanation of the steps the gov ernment is taking to ward off the unemployment crisis in the coming winter.
 The Presidents statement came almost at the same time William Green president of the American Federation of Labor, i.- c speech at New Bedford. Mass, was de- manding the federal government to spur efforts to provide employ ment through construction pros poets.
 Simultaneously, officials of rail- road OrganzationS met in Cleve- land and sought a solution of the problem caused by 350,000 un- employed railroad workers and re- fusal of the railroad owners to cope with the situation on na- tion-wide scale on the grounds that they were without authority. Labor rejected the owners offer to lead.
 The workers reduction in buying power was placed at 10 and one-half
 billion dollars. The naval and war
 departments have a policy which will save nearly $8,OOO,O0O in feed- ing enlisted men. The food quality will not be effected. It is said that
 the saving has been effected be-
 cause of the increased value of the dollar.
 Still other economies may be ef- fected through possible abandon ment of air ships as units of army service reductions and through the reduction of recruiting and main tenance of the enlisted force of the navy at 50,OOO less than appropriat- ed by Congress.
