U. S. TO STAND
PAT ON IDEAS
OF WAR DEBTS
Hoover Can't See Slash
Until Europe Takes Off
War Paint.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON, June 10.-The
Hoover administration is resisting
pressure to reopen the debts and
reparations questions, because gov
eminent experts studying Ger
many'S conditions believe she can
carry her present burdens a while
longer until it becomes clear wheth-
er her difficulties are due to world
depression or are more fundamental.
Before considering any move
which would entail breaking down
the debt-funding agreements, the
Hoover administration intends to be
certain that Europe first wipes off
its war paint.
Mr.. Hoover feels he could not, I'M
der any circumstances, recommend
that Europe's debt be shifted so long
as she is participating in what he
estimates to be 5000 900, 900 world
outlay annually for ornaments.
The wealthy classes in Germany,
industrialists particularly, are re-
garded as having large influence.
1t is held by some that they have
been able to shunt taxes on down
the line so that the lower strata
bear the heavier share, proportion
ately.
Germany is regarded as having
a psychological limit which has
been about reached. The rising
generation, as the experts view the
situation, resents having to make
heavy sacrifices for the predicament
into which the old generation
plunged Germany.
American officials, speaking pri-
vately, strongly doubt whether Ger
many can be expected to pay until
1888 as provided in the Young plan.

HAYES LIKELY
GRID COACH

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Jan. Is.
E. c. Hayes, freshman football
coach at Indiana University, was
named in reports today as the
possible successor to H. O. (Patl
Page, as head of the football
coaching staff at Indiana. Hayes,
however, refused to confirm re
ports to that effect today.
Page announced his resignation
yesterday in Chicago. He said he
was invited to quit three weeks
ago by President William Lowe
Bryan. Page said he has no posi-
tion in view. He blamed an
alumni group for the request to
resign.
Page, a former star at the Uni.
versity Of Chicago, said he would
hold the university to a contract
which has one more year to run.
He came to Indiana in 1925 from
Butler College, Of Indianapolis.
Hayes, whose name has been
mentioned unofficially more than
any other as Indiana's next foot
ball coach, modestly said he could
not make a decision either way
because he never had been offered
the job.

IS AVENGED

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-A good
measure of revenge was Jimmy
Slattery's today after the former
light heavyweight champion gave
King Levinsky, Of Chicago, a 10
round boxing lesson at the sta
dunn last night which won him
a decision over the former fish
peddler.
Making up for his unexpected
defeat by Levinsky last November,
Slattery started out by winning
the first round, but wrenched his
right ankle in attempting to slip
one of Levinsky's swings. The
injury handicapped the former
champion to the extent that the
next three rounds were even.
Recovering from the injury,
Slattery managed to win the last
five rounds by a fair margin and
won the unanimous decision of
the judges. A crowd of 12,649
paid $34,859.61 to see the bout.
Slugging toe to toe in the
eighth Slattery knocked Levinsky
down, but the latter bounded up
again without taking a count. In
the tenth left hook opened q

The heavyweight business is
moving along about as slowly as
most of them move in the ring.
All we are sure of now is that
Schmeling and Stribling will
meet somewhere sometime, pro-
vided Schmeling can be cajoled
into keeping his latest promise.
The Dutchman isn't so con-
Scientious about a little matter
of his word, even when it's
backed up by his signature or
that of his manager. We don't
know what he's backed up his
Stribling promise with, unless
it is with a stack of marks,
but we won't believe he's going
to fight him until he actually
crawls into the ring.
Meanwhile Jack Sharkey,
who can lick Schmeling any day
in the week and on the Sab
bath, too, is left out colder
than frozen custard. In brief,
the best heavyweight in the
land, anybody's land for that
matter, is side-tracked just be-
cause the New York Boxing
Commission is peeved at Schmel-
ing.
We believe there isn't a fair
fan in the country who doesn't
want to see Sharkey get one
more chance in view of the
ignominious manner in which
he barely missed getting the
crown last June.

Camera Promising

Carnera would outdraw the
three put together if a suitable
opponent outside Of their ranks
could be found for the big
Italian.
Far from being a finished
fighter yet, Carnera has enough
size and color to make up for
his lack of poliSh-or finish.
But he is learning, and learn
ing rapidly. For a newcomer,
he acquired no little ring gen.
eralship during his last cam
paign on these shores. And
for a big man of his slight
experience, we thought his foot
work was remarkable in Phila-
delphia against Godfrey and
his fist work wasn't far be-
hind.
True he met a good many
push-overs during his Amerl-
can campaign but every fighter
is brought along the same
way. If Leon See will not be
too cagy and let Primo meet
more men of established class,
he will draw well and should
move into the heavyweight
championship within a couple
of years if he shows any will
ingness at all to mix with the
poor lot he'll have to batter
down on this side.
All this, mark you, provided
he doesn't prove to be another
less Willard-Heaven forbid!
