MORATORIUM ON GERMAN
BOND DEBTS SECUTED
snecial DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 18-Through Dill
lon, Read & Co., DR.. Hermann Dietrich,
finance minister of Germany, has au-
thorized publication of the following
statement: In agreement with the
Reichsbank, I consider it matter of
course to make interest and sinking
fund payments on long-term loans of
German debtors"
This statement represents the official
answer of the finance ministry of the
German government to the press re-
ports that Germany contemplated de-
claring moratorium on debts repre-
sented by external bond issues. Min
lister Dietrich declares that Germanys
present difficulties are largely due to
the sudden withdrawal of billions of
Reichmarks of foreign short-term
credits, the payment of which in such
large volume on short notice naturally
presents great difficulties. However he
states, efforts are being made to find
a basis Of settlement in the case of
these short-term credits fair to both
lender and borrower.

DENIES SHORT SALES
: CAUSE WHEAT DROPS
BY the Associated Press,

CHICAGO, July 1s.-T. Y. Wickham,
a director Of the Chicago Board of
Trade and member of a grain firm, in
a market statement yesterday secuted
a theory that short sellers Of wheat
could be blamed for low prices or could
lift prices by Withdrawing
The statement was issued as a reply
to official announcements on short
selling recently by James C. Stone,
chairman of the Farm Board; George
S. Minor, head of the Grain Stabilize
ton Board, and President Hoover.
During the past week." he said.
Stone, Minor and Hoover have been
out with statements scourging the grain
trade for this condition dow grain
prices), the latter making an appeal to
short sellers to be patriotic enough to
forego that side of the market.
Does any one believe that two or
three short sellers could manipulate
prices after the tragic failure of the
Government itself to do so and the
waste Of hundreds of millions III the
attempt? Such complaints are child
ish"
The question. he said, was whether
the Farm Board leaders and the Presi-
dent would admit the folly Of the
whole venture OF the Government in
the grain markets" and ask for repeal
OF the agricultural marketing act.

Brok@g7 Comment

NEW YORK. July 18-Brokers held
mixed opinions on the stock market
today. Some comments were:
Hornblower & Weeks.-f something
really constructive happens, it is quite
possible that the current optimism will
lead speculative sentiment to anticipate
regular United States Steel dividend.
While we fe6fhat next week holds dis
tinct possibilities of a rally, we would
prefer to wait. for definite financial de-
velopments toAlend some assurance to
the markets direction.
jackson Bros, Bosel & Cove be-
lieve that the prospect. of unfavorable
second-quarter and half-year reports is
sufficiently important influence in
itself to warrant a conservative buying
policy, even though an early agreement
is reached to render financial first aid
to Germany.
Redmond Golf the same factors
of uncertainty exist over the week end
that have held the stage recently, the
stock market can be expected to follow
the irregular trend of the recent past.
with weakness and strength at different
intervals, pending something definite
from Europe;
Hamerschlag'. Borg & Co.-Although
we MINK tnaI the recovery may be
somewhat delayed because of the Ger
man crisis, we also feel that the last
great danger to security values has been
largely eliminated and is becoming
daily less threatening.
Edward B.. Smith & Cove believe
that little is to be gained by making
new investment commitments in COM
mon stocks at this level, and before
advising reorganization, we prefer to
await a price. level more closely ap-
proximating that Of early June.
Clark williams & Cot is our
opinion that the reaction in security
prices has materially strengthened the
markets technical position, which pro-
vides a sound basis for a rally of good
proportions. which is, we believe. likely
to appear during the coming weeks.

Washington Optimistic

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-Tokio's
conditional agreement to an armi-
stice in Manchuria caused satiSfac-
ton and increased optimism today
among American officials, who had
looked upon earlier reports of def
mite rejection by Japan as step
away from settlement of the ORR
entail quarrel.
With its usual caution, the state
department would not comment on
this sudden turn OF events, or upon
reports of threatened Chinese troop
movements into South Manchuria.
Secretary Stimson continued to
work silently on the Manchurian
problem, which probably has been
more vexing than any cRher he has
had to deal with since taking office.
Anxious for peace at any reason
able price, officials welcomed the
League of Nations announcement
Friday of the Japanese Chinese ar
miStice "in principle" and the pro-
posed inquiry by an international
commission. The view has been
taken in administration quarters
that the main aim of the league and
the United States would have been
attained when fighting ceased.

Annual Plea Sounded for
Contributions of Pre-
serves and Jams.

Who can imagine a childhood
without "jelly-bread?"
Who can visualize Lockerbie
street without thinking of James
Whitcomb Riley and the children
of his dreams enjoying the homely
delight of a jam covered face?
But there will be children on
Lockerbie street without these joys,
unless generous friends with we'll
filled cupboards come to the rescue.
Next door to Riley'S home is the
indianapolis Day Nursery, where
dozens of children are cared for
while their mothers work.
Some mothers pay a few cents a
day for the care and food given
their children, but others can not
spare anything from their scanty
earnings.
At 10 in the morning, babies
tummies feel ''woozy'' and these
gnawing pains always are pacifed
with jelly-bread.
Every year before Thanksgiving
the nursery voices a plea for con-
tributions of jams, jellies. MARINA
ladies' and preserves. Last year, the
contributions amounted to more
than 1000 jars.
This year, with even more child
ish mouths to feed, the nursery
hopes to receive larger donations.
Contributions may be sent to the
nursery at $40 Lockerbie street, OF
to the Girl Scout headquarters at
512 Board of Trade building.

PROBE BABY DEATH
Body Is Found, Wrapped in
Paper, Under Flooring.

Investigation into the death of a
3-month-old baby, whose body was
found Friday under the flooring of
the home of Hugh Delk, GAG South
Senate avenue, was started today
by police.
Delk and his wife had noticed an
odor from the basement for sew
eral days, and, searching the house,
found the body, wrapped in IL
newspaper dated Oct. 10, had been
placed under the floor through a
small hole in the basement wall.
Police were unable to determine
whether death was from violence or
from natural causes.
Although Delk and his family
have lived at the home for seven
months, detectives said the badly
was placed there about ten days
ago.
Delk said ne believed some one
familiar with the house had entered
the basement door, which always
was unlocked, and disposed of the
body.
Former residents of the house,
now living on Rockville road, are
to be questioned by detectives.

VUnifcd Pros,

81 united Press
NEWCASTLE, Ind, Nov. 21.-A
tissue wrapped box of homemade
fudge candy. that had been dosed
heavily with deadly PHOSPHORUS
poison, was received today at the
farm home of j. w. Gray, 40, liv-
ing near Moreland.
Gray opened the box and sum-
moned his seven children to share
the sweets, he said. when he de-
tected a queer odor about the candy.
An investigation disclosed that the
gift was poisoned. Postal Inspector
A. S. Kelley began an immediate
investigation.
The farmer could offer no clues
to the identity of the sender. He
said, however, that some one may
have been prompted by jealousy
over the fact that Mrs. Gray had
become reconciled with her husband
only recently, following a short sep
aration, during which she lived with
her mother here.
He was unable to say whether
he or Mrs. Gray or the children
were the intended victims.
The sender had clipped block
letters from newspaper headlines
and pasted them together to form
the address on the package. In
side, a note was formed similarly
to make the words: Beloved
Hazel"
Gray said no one in his family
was named Hazel and he knew of
no one by that name.

EICHT-COUNTY
POOL FORMED
BY MILKMEN
Producer Dealer Pact.
Producer dealer Pact,
Say Organizers.

Adoption of milk pool agree
ment by majority Of indianapolis
milk distributors and dairymen of
Marion county and seven adjoining
counties was announced today.
The agreement was reached at a
meeting in the SEVERN FRIDAY
night, attended by milk distributors,
county agents, farm bureau presi-
dents and officials of the Central
Indiana Dairymens Association.
Inc, recently organized by the pro-
ducers.
The new association, which will
take over the Dairy Producers, Ex-
change here, is expected to end
differences between producers and
distributors and to provide an uni
formly high quality of milk here,
according to Carl L. Hedges, man
ager.
While the agreement will result
in a more uniform price paid pro-
ducers, it will not affect retail price
of milk paid by consumers.
The agreement was sought to
provide a workable basis fair to
producers, distributors and con-
sumers, to prevent milk wars and
destruction of property as has
occurred in other large cities, and
to assure better grade of milk,
it was explained.
Distributors representing approx
mately rs per cent of the city's milk
consumption already have signed
the agreement, and most of the
others are expected to sign soon
said Hedges.
Approximately $500 dairy farmers
of Marion, Hancock, Hamilton
Johnson, Shelby, Morgan, Hend-
ricks and Boone counties were rep
resented in the pool agreement.
Under the agreement, Indianap-
oils distributors will buy milk only
through the new association, which
in turn, will accept milk only from
dairy herds producing high quality
milk, Hedges explained.
Hedges has resigned as manager
of the Indiana Dairy Marketing
Association, Muncie. to give full
time to the new organization.
Officers are Elwood Morris, Han
cock county, president; Norman E
Pearson, Hendricks county, vice
president; John E. Webb, Marion
county, secretary treasurer.
Directors include the officers and

MUKDEN, Manchuria, Nov. 21.--
A dangerous movement" of Chi
neSe troops in South Manchuria
was announced today by the Japa-
nese military headquarters, which
took immediate precautions against
an attack.
General Shigero HOMO, the jap
aneSe commander in Manchuria
said there was danger of "aggres-
sive" action.
The Japanese preparations against
fighting in the south, not far from
the frontier of China proper, were
handicapped by the fact that strong
troop attachments had been sent
to northern Manchuria in the last
few days to Subdue the Chinese in
