Demands of France

Luther. president Of the Reichs.
bank, left Paris by airplane at
1o:45 today for Berlin, carrying
with him the political demands,
fulfillment of which France has
made conditional to a loan to
Germany at this time.
The French Terms
Frances terms for participating
III the huge international loan
sought by Germany were under
stood to be as follows:
1. Abandonment of the
AnsChluss, or AustrO- German
Customs Union.
2. Suspension Of the German
naval program.
3. Assurance that Germany
will not support any move
destined to bring about a re-
ductiOn in French ornaments
considered necessary to French
security.
Rather than grant such terms,
It was reported in Paris today,
Chancellor Bruening would pre-
fer to resign, a step that would
certainly bring the German
crisis to a head, entailinE far
reaching consequences from which
even France could not escape.

Of Stocks Continues

BERLIN, July II G..SD.-The
snag struck in Paris by DR.. Hans
Luther, president of the Reischs-
bank, in his quest for an inter
national loan and the continued
rise in the French frame here,
caused stocks on the Berlin bourse
to slump / to 6 points. e..
A statement that the Federal
reserve bank Of New York would
probably announce 5000, ,00O, 200

HEFLIN' s FRAUD
PLEA PARTLY
SUPPORTED
Irregularities in Ten Counties
Are Reported Substantiated;
Has Some Chance to Win

The Alabama senatorial con-
test, in which j. Thomas Heflin
is seeking to oust Senator elect
John H. Bankhead, today threat
ened to provoke embarrassment
for the Democratic party.
The preliminary inquiry by q
Senate elections subcommittee has
revealed evidence substantiating
Heflin'S charges of fraud and ir-
regularity in 10 of the States
81 counties. There are numerous
indications that the subconnnit-
tee now regards Heflin's contest
seriously, and that he has an out
side chance of winning out.
Second Issue Raised
On top Of that, Heflin finally
raised in issue the legality Of the
Alabama primary of 1880, from
which he was barred for having
bOlted Alfred E. Smith in 1928.
His counsel cOntended the State
election laws made the primary
an integral part of the election.
If the subcommittee shares this
view in it's ultimate findings, the
Senate will have to pass directly
on the expulsion of Heflin and
the legality Of Bahkhead'S n0mi-
nation.
Developments thus far assure
Heflin of a fighting chance to
win the senatorial toga.
Other Contests
Recent senatorial contests, in
which charges of fraud we're
raised, have involved Republican
Senators. There were the famous
Lorimer case in Illinois, the New
berry case in Michigan, the. Smith
case in Illinois, and the Ware case
in Pennsylvania. Now the Demo
Gratis will have to face the music.

Theodore JoSlin, secretary to

mansion had a discussion yes
terday.
When a statement was issued
several days ago by Joslin to the
effect that news concerning the

should come from either himself
or Mr.. Hoover, newspaper men
viewed it as a move toward
censorship.
They were also inclined TO the
belief that such . move might
spread to the departments.

One phase Of the Hoover debt
holiday which still disturbed the
Administration today was the in

When President Hoover an
r8ounced his project for q years

his object was to save Germany
from financial chaos.
The recent flight Of the mark,
despite the successful elimination
Of the Franco-Americar negotiA-

considerable concern. Withdraw

CONGRESS MUST
VOTE PROMPTLY
ON MORATORIUM
Dec. 10 Is DeadIine If Loss
OF German Reparation Is
to Be Avoided.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press STAN Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. is. - The
first session of the seventy-second
congress, which meets Dec. 7, will
have as its first rush job the task
Of ratifying the Hoover one-year
moratorium on intergovernmental
debts This must be done by Dec.
IS if a German reparations default
is to be avoided.
An income and inheritance tax
increase and a possible Democratic
attempt to revise the Hawley-Smoot
tariff rates downward are major
prospective proposals which have
not yet taken definite form.
The present three-vote Demo-
cratic plurality in the house and
the Republicans expected senate
majority make unlikely the enact
ment of much legislation on which
strict party lines are drawn, al
though western independents may
cast the deciding vote in such in
stances.

The
Chief
Tire
Changer
Speaking

CEVERAL thousand years ago,
- Talmudical sages with their
keen understanding of life, voiced
the following truth: Life and death
are on the tip of the tongue. How
easy it is to blast regulations or do
irreparable harm by speaking hastily
or illAconSiderately of some one who
is, perhaps, not better but neither
worse than we are ourselves. On
the other hand, how much happiness
we can bring into the world by
speaking the kind word and giving
encouragement to those whose steps
are faltering.
THESE Talmudical sages also
Il said that love which depends
upon material cause for it's exist
ence can never last. We see the
truth of it today. Marriages made
under fair weather conditions un-
able to withstand the economic
strain. Perhaps our fathers and
mothers who stood by each other
under even more adverse conditions
meant it when they said, for better
or for worse.
XXTANT to make some poor
w Schoolchild happy? Fred T.
GLADDEN., County superintendent of
Schools, has asked that persons
having old articles of clothing that
can be worn by school pupils kindly
bring them to his office in the
Courthouse. Mr.. GLADDEN. said that
the privation of some of the chill
dren attending school was almost
unbelievable and he wished to pro-
vide them at least Wirh adequate
clothing.
YESTERDAY, with deep, impress
i sive ceremony, Indiana Rotar-
ianS dedicated the, Convalescent
Home for Children, an auxiliary Of
the nearby James Whitcomb Riley
Hospital. The fine spirit of the en-
terprise is best described by the
tablet with these lines: ITO James
Whitcomb Riley, who made The
Happy Little Cripple immortal, and
to the children who Just must get
we'll this building is dedicated
with full affection by the RotarianS
of Indiana" And who understood the
heart of childhood better than the
author of THE Happy Little Grip
pie" "Out to Old Aunt Mary's" and
"The Raggedy- Man" What finer
deed than to give the crippled and
retarded child a chance for health
and happiness.
