REPEAL PLANS GET FIRST TEST
 IN COMMITTEE
Judiciary Body of the House, P Strong, Will Consider That Problem During the Day
BY WILLIAM F. KERRY United Press Stan COrrcspOndent

Washington. Dec 2--(U. P.) -- Prohibition repeal faced its first real test of congressional aenti- ment since the election when the house judiciary committee met to- day to consider secretly the Garner resolution for unqualified abolition O. the 18th amendment.
 Wet leaders claimed the commit tee of 22 members would show a majority of at least four for the resolution-moving repeal on the first legislative step along the road toward re-submission to the states
 The committee was to be asked to direct its chairman, Hatton Sum- ners of Texas, to move for adoption of the admendment by the house on next Monday, the first day of the session.
 Even if the committee fails to rubber-stamp the repeal program of democratic leaders, Speaker Gar ner intends to bring it to deci- sion Monday.
 Tn the unlikely event the judi ciary group fails to act favorably, Majority Leader Henry Rainey will take Summers place in moving to invoke extraordinary procedure and VOtS lUlluSuldlcIy Ol aUOAAtAOA VI the 18th amendment.
 Democratic leaders have smoth- cred the possibility of effective Op- position. except in the actual vote on the floor of the house next Mon day. They will bring the resolution 10 vote then under so-called "sus- pension of the rules"
 This will limit debate to 40 min utes >and preclude the right to amendment. Therefore. all mem- bers will be given the chance only to vote for or against the Garner resolution hich provides for ab- soIutely unqualified repeal.
 Republican leaders admit they have been left completely helpless by the strategy. They will have no opportunity to present as an alter native President Hoover's re-sub- i..ission plan calling for constitu- tiona1 protection" for dry states and prohibition Of the saloon.
 Democrats who favor such alter natives must either repudiate their party platform and vote against re- peal or else support the speaker. Comprehensive polls undertaken by leaders indicate that the swing has been toward the Garner plan.

FRANCE ALSO APPEALs

Paris, Dec 2.-(UP) - The French note to Washington reiter- ates the request for flat postpone ment of the December war debt payment of approximately $20,. 100000, it was revealed today.
 Postponement is regarded as normal, equitable, necessity in the light of the Hoover moratorium, ]" the note to Washington said.
 It recalled that the Hoover Laval communicate stipulated that new arrangements might be neces- sary during the depression, provid- ed that Europe took the initiative in that direction. (France consid- CTS that the initiative was taken at the Lausanne reparations con- ference.)
 Without promising to pay in December if the request for post ponement is refused, the note says that France does not dispute the validity of debt agreements, and that postponement vii lleave the rights of both parties intact.
 Referring to the Hoover mora torium, the note says: "The French government pointed out that this initiative (declaring the mora torium) directly infringed on all existing accords and suspended, notably, the operation of mechan- Ism of the Young plan"
 The communication recalls the increasing gravity of the world crisis since the moratorium con- strained all governments to modify their debt positions.
 It contends that the economic depression. together with the col lapse of prices and the difficulty of obtaining foreign exchange, multiplied the debtors burdens.
 Recalling that President Hoover and Premier Laval agreed that points out that European creditors granted Germany a 90 per cent re- ducuon on her reparations pay ments under Q three year mora torium at Lausanne.
 The note recalls that the Laus-

 London, Dec 2.-(UP)-Great Britain believed today that her "unanswerable case" for postpone ment of the December war debt payment of $95,500,000 to the United States could not be ignored, newspaper comment indicated.
 There were newspaper hints of tariff reprisals against the United States if Washington insists on the payment.
 The most surprising part of the note, one paper said, was the im- plication that European creditors who sacrificed their separations re- ceipts through the Lausanne agree ment had been .let down" by the American government.
 Secretary of State Stimson's statement that President Hoover was prepared to recommend that congress create an agency to study war. debts was considered "tanta- mount to acceptance" of the Brit ish request for an exchange of views on all inter-governmental obligations, another paper report ed. \
 The London press and parlia- mentary circles generally consid- cred the note a moderate and friendly recital of the British posi- ton.
 Members of parliament hoped the note would remove the "Amer- jean misapprehension" that can- cellation of war debts would leave the British tax payer 'all square" if not slightly ahead.
 The financial editor of the Daily Herald, commenting on the tariff threat in the British note, said 1t hardly seemed likely to produce the atmosphere needed to inaugu- rate reconsideration of the entire war debts question. Certainly the imposition of fresh tariffs would seriously prejudice the chances for fresh international conferences on war debts, and would harden American opinion against cancella- tion as reduction of future install- ments," the Herald said.
 R. J. c. Boothby, conservative member of parliament now in Washington. said in a special cable to the Daily Mail that if Britain makes the December payment, the movement to reduce subsequent payments would spread.
 However, I see little hope of the United States acting until 1t Is defi- nitely cleared up whether Britain is acting alone or in secret agree- ment with the rest of Europe" Boothby said. There is genuine sympathy for Britain, but none for France or Germany. The British government must make plain that it is prepared to negotiate alone, without regard for the interests of France or other European powers .
 The Daily Herald said that if the United States insisted on payment. "it may well prove a catac1ysnic period like the present. It is a cold, stern fact which we hope the American congress and public will duly ponder"

only the bankers to talk. The boara
voted not to cut any salaries of city
officials over $1,000 yearly.

He condemned Thomas for his

Both Roosevelt and Hoover are de-

Demand the Release Of
Wright and Williams

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct, 81
George w. Chamlee, Southern at
torney for the International Labor
Defense, today instituted heabeas
corpus proceedings to force the Ala
bama lynch courts to release Roy
Wright and Eugene Williams, two
of the youngest Of nine Scottsboro
victims.
Roy Wright has been held in Jail
for over a year and half despite the
fact that there is no conviction
against him. In the original mock
trial at Scottsboro, Ala, at which
the eight other boys were railroaded
to lynch death verdicts, the jury
failed to reach a decision in the case
of Roy Wright
The lynch death conviction against
Eugene Williams was reversed by
the Alabama Supreme Court as a
result of the energetic defense work
of the l. L. D. attorneys and the
thunderous protests of white and
Negro workers against the lynch
verdicts. The court upheld the con-
victions against the seven other boys
Mass Drive Needed
Only the widest mass defense cam
paign, supporting the habeas cor
pus proceedings started by the |.
L. D., can free these two boys Only
by building and intensifying the
mass fight for all nine of the boys
can the working class stop the legal
murder of the seven other boys on
whose appeal the United States
Supreme Court has postponed its
decision until after the elections.
Workers and their organizations are
urged to pass resolutions demanding
the release of these boys. Resolu-
tions should be sent to Gov. Miller
of Alabama, at Montgomery, Ala,
and to the U. S. Supreme Court at

u. S. Forced to
Issue Passport to
Mother Mooney

WASHINGTON, oct. 27.-The state
department., under pressure of work
ers' organizations, finally granted a
passport to Mother Mooney to attend
the World Congress Of the Interna-
tional Red Aid in Moscow; and to
help promote the campaign being
waged at present in Europe for the
release of Mooney and the Scots
boro boys.
The department at first denied the
passport to Mother Mooney, fearing
the tremendous campaign that the
workers of Europe are carrying on
for Mooney and the Scottsboro boys,
inspired by the visit of Ada Wright,
mother of two of the nine Negro
Scottsboro boys. The state depart
ment hoped to sabotage the cam
paign which is causing the ambassa-
doris in Europe embarrassment.

by the majority of the other bourgeois
Negro papers who have refused to

The Chicago Defender has played
a similar role in the Scottsboro case.
After at first supporting the mass
campaign of the International Labor
Defense and the League of Struggle
for Negro Rights to free the nine Ne
