ACCORD
Agreement To Hoover's

Indicated Today.
DIFFERENCES MINOR
General Conference OF
Nations May Result At

PARIS, July 3. UP)-A heighten-
ed possibility that tile F'rench-Am
erican debts conversations may
lead to a general conference on the
entire problem of war debts and
reparations was seen today.
The conversations, continuing to-
day after another delay, may be
enlarged to include Great Britain.
Germany, Italy, Belgium and prob
ably Greece, the United Press
learned on reliable authority. In the
event the Paris parleys now under
way are successful.
Optimism was expressed by both
French and American statesmen.
They admitted that developments
had occurred rapidly in the past "a
hours and that the outlook for an
agreement was very promising
but insisted 1t was premature to say
that total accord had been reached.
The government meanwhile re-
fused an invitation from Great
Britain to come to Chequers, in
England, for a weekend parley.
1t was explained, however, that
France always had favored a gen.
eral conference to discuss tn c
Hoover plan on war debts and rep
arations, but that both Hoover and
Col. Henry L. Stinson, secretary OF
state, repeatedly had refused.

lSpeciaD - You remember
told you there was some awful
good dead Republicans. Well,
the finest woman, one of 'em
went yesterday, ex-Congress-
woman Alice Robertson of Ok
lahoma. Nick Longworth told
me this story: When they was
voting on the soldiers bonus,
she didn't believe in it in her
own heart and she told why,
and told that her action would
mean her finish in congress.
She told how she loved EN-
and had fed EN- and spent
every cent she ever had on 'em
land she had) but that she
wouldn't vote against her con-
science just to stay in congress.
Nick said every man in the
room went to her and conpli-
mented her on her bravery and
then went over and voted the
way the most votes were back
home. She was a fine old scout,
too fine for politics.

California and previously won by
such stars as Mrs. Kathleen McKane

American tennis. and Miss Betty
Nuthall, England's ranking player
and current holder of the United
States women's title.
WIMBLEDON, Eng, July 3. U.P)

Perry's service to win the next game
and set.

again broke through against Perry's
service to win at 11-9.

Conger, at the peak of his

BARRY FACING
GOODPUNCHER

When Joe SmallWood crawls
through the ropes Saturday with
Reds" Barry, on he-night at Con-
gressional Airport, Rockville Pike,
he will be stacking his punching
power against a heavier but
younger opponent. Barry has
come very fast. In the last year,
he has won practically all of his
bouts by his speed and ability to
take it, and he will have a weight
advantage of 10 to Is pounds on
Smallwood. But he will be facing
one of the most dangerous
punchers in the WelterWeight divi-
sion in Smallwood.
SmallWood has been unable to
get WelterWeightS or middle
weights to fight him and he has
agreed to take on light-heaVy-
weights. He fought Joe Finaza
at Fort washington, and is the
only local fighter to floor Finaza
for a count of nine. Billie
Schwartz and Barry could not
get Finaza off his feet.
SmallWood, while light in
weight, has a wonderful build, a
long reach, and is six feet tall.
He has been boxing for three
years and has had over SO fights,
winning most of them by the
K. o. route.
Manager Patsy Donovan is de-
termined that Smallwood will not
add Barry to his list and, if pos
sible, will send Barry out to turn
the tables the other way. If
Barry stops Smallwood, he will
be given a chance with Arthur
Huttick, heavyweight champion of
the New York National Guards
and conqueror of Billie Schwartz.
frankie Mann, who is promot-
ing the show for he-night, is look
ing for an opponent for Huttick
to show the New Yorker at Fort
Washington, and would rather
give a local boy the chance than
some out-of-town fighter.

WreStle-minded WaShingtonianS
and they are legion nowadays
are warned to take a tumble to
themselves this week. For at
Washington Auditorium Thursday
night Promoter Joe Turner is un-

grapple show ever offered in this
section.
Even Madison Square Garden,
which rallies to colorful mat
bouts $4,000 strong, would smack
its lips at the double-barrelled
feature miX-ups arranged by
Turner.
Particularly spectacular should
be the locking up of those former

McMillen - who aggregate 460
pounds or more.
ROebuck Heaviest
Roebuck, a former All-American

former Illinois tackle, a 212-

These performances, however,
will in no wise awe Tiny. The
