KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec. 6. -
Following a welcome Monday night
by cheering crowd when he re-
turned to Kansas City following his
conviction on a federal lottery
charge in New York, Conrad H.
Mann, managing organizer of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles, prepared
today to return east to be in court
Thursday for sentencing.
Mann, Frank E. Herring, editor of
the Eagles magazine at South Bend,
Ind, and Bernard Mcclure, pro-
moter of money-raising enterprises
for lodges, were convicted by jury
Saturday.
One of the banners carried in
the crowd, welcoming Mann, read:

crowd was so large that police we're
forced to clear path so Mann
could leave the railroad station.
1t had been planned to have
bands and drum corps in the well
coming throng, but this was aban-
doned after the Kansas City Minis
terial Association adopted a resolu-
ton stating it would consider such
action as "a dangerous and unjus-

Special Session ForeSeen
BY LEO r. SACK,
Times staff Writer


WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-An ex-
ira session OF congress will be
necessary to bring about repeal of
the eighteenth amendment, con-
gressional leaders said today.
The extra session, early in Presi-
dent-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt's
administration, may be made more
necessary by President Hoover'S
threat to veto the prospective modi-
fication of the Volstead law, and
the anticipated Democratic farm
relief measure.
Efforts may be made to reSubmit
some form of amendment during the
three months of this congress, prob
ably the Glass revision resolution
now pending in the senate.
But the Glass measure will not be
acceptable to Speaker John N. Gar
ner and to many other . leaders
among the 1873 Democrats, who
voted Monday for the Garner
amendment. The Glass plan too
closely resembles the Hoover resub-
mission proposal.
Il will not help to pass a bill not
in accordance with the Democratic
platform" Garner emphatically de-
clared.
The e-President-elec feels
that the good faith" of the DEM
ocratic party is involved in the type
Of prohibition repeal passed by the
congress, and rather than lend his
assistance to anything but straight
Democrat repeal plan, he prefers to
wait until after March 4.
Garner was disappointed because
fOrty-three Democrats voted against
their party platform. He refused
suggestions of friends that a party
caucus be invoked to force their
support on a party loyalty basis, be-
cause he did not think such drastic
procedure was necessary.
Democrats will be in overwhelm-
ing control of the next congress and
house passage of the repeal then
will be comparatively easy.

PARIS, Dec. 6.-President Herbert
Hoover made no definite commit
ment to scale down debts, nor did
either he or Pierre Laval expect
the Lausanne reparations agree
ment to annul the Young plan
which determined the annuities
Germany was to pay the allies, an
examination Of Lavals handwritten
report of his 1881 conference with
Mr.. Hoover revealed today.
To the contrary, the text of the
Washington communique, on which
President Hoover and Laval, then
premier Of France, spent hours of
earnest effort, states specifically
that the United States and France
agreed on a return as soon as pos
sible to the Young plan provisions
for a moratorium, rather than on a
Hoover moratorium.
Debt Theories Intact
Laval points out that neither he
nor President Hoover expected any
thing else but a substitution of the
Young plan for the Hoover mora
forum. 1t was after his overthrow
that the French government, under
British pressure at Lausanne,
strapped the Young plan.
The former premier has not
changed his debt theories, and still
prefers that France pay her debts
to the United States and Great
Britain, continuing to draw suffi-
cient payments from Germany to
permit settlement OF French debts.
plus margin to cover the actual
cost Of repairing war damage.
Thus, both Laval and Mr.. Hoover
indicated that they expected the
Young plan to retain its vigor, per-
hitting Germany TO make over
lures for moratorium under the
plan upon expiration of the Hoover
one-year moratorium. Thereafter,
it was agreed, allied experts would
fix Germany's capacity to pay.
Will Produce Report
Laval is holding himself aloof
from present negotiations, par
ticularly since Premier Herriot has
not consulted him on the nature of
the pledges made by Mr.. Hoover.
The former premier, however, in
tends to produce his verbatim re-
port of the Washington converse
tons when the debt debate opens in
the senate, and to point out the diff
ferences between the two French
notes recently sent to Washington,
and the communique that was
issued as a result of the 1881 con-
ference.
Laval meets all requests for in
terviews on the debt question with
