French, Also Arranging to
Meet InstalIment, Credited
With Taking Out Insurance
on Gold Shipment.
STERLING DROPS AGAIN,
REACHING ALL-TIME LOW
Governor of Bank of England
! Hopes Washington Will Permit
Government to Keep Gold at Home
| Pending and During Discussions
! of Problem.
BY NEGLEY FARSON.

BY Cable to The Star.
LONDON, England, November
2e.-Great Britain is definitely
paying its December debt install
ment of $95,500,OOo to the United
States If the American Congress
does not grant a postponement,
as the British recently requested.
That is the final decision result
ing from the tense discussions of
the British cabinet during the last
two nights, wherein the pro-
French ministers were definitely
argued down.
The present position is that
Montague Norman, governor of
the Bank of England, wants Great
Britain to pay in gold, with hopes
that the United States might be
willing to permit the gold to re-
main in England pending and
during the Anglo-American debt
discussion.
The French are now making ar
rangements to pay in gold, too. The
Bank Of France is credited with hav-
ing already arranged insurance with
Lloyd's, underwriters in London, for
e., ,oDo, 600 in gold bars to be shipped
on the liners Majestic and Paris.
Pressure ON France Sought.
Norman Is bringing the strongest
measure on the British treasury to re-
quest France to pay the war debt in
stallments it owes Great Britain.
whether both or either the French
or British will ask the United States
for an allowable moratorium Of two
years on the principal OF the debts
seems to be undecided yet.
The question Of an Anglo French
common front arising out of the Lau-
same agreements formed spectacular
background for Prime Minister Ramsay
MacDonald's arguments with his col
leagues Sunday night. Neville Cham
berlain, chancellor of the Exchequer,
and Sir John Simon, foreign minister,
both argued the cause Of France, de-
manding that the widest possible in
depreciation be placed upon the Anglo
French understanding" achieved at
Lausanne. They suggested even carry
ing it to the point that, If the French
did not pay, then the British should
default.
Macdonald, who has never. at any
time, belonged TO the school Of de-
fault, hastily rallied Stanley Baldwin,
lord president Of the council. and other
ministers of the cabinet who told Sir
John and Chamberlain that the British
were not going to follow in the wake
of France, but that France must follow
Great Britain's lead in this instance,

SCHOLARSHIP SALE

Bidder.
sy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, November 29-The
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin says to-
day a former secretary Of William S.
Ware, leader OF the city Republican or
ganization, is alleged to have used the
latter's office as clearing house in
the sale OF free scholarships.
Each State Senator has three free
scholarships every two years for dis
tribution to poor and worthy students,
in each of the four State-aided uni
Pennsylvania, Temple, Penn
State and Pittsburgh.
These scholarships, the Bulletin says,
are alleged to have been peddled about
to the highest bidders. The State Sen
ators, often wishing to exchange schol-
airships, would swap them around, it
is alleged, and in this way lost track
Of them.
The scholarships falling into the
hands of the racketeers, the paper says,
would then be sold for $500 or more,
although they called for four years
tuition at a total value Of 81 200. State
Senator William D. Mansfield, Pitts
0lTBu, Is lIlIcdIcIlulb IcBlSldLANC IA
yestigation of the entire situation.
Mansfield scholarship to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania was exchanged
for one accredited to State Senator Max
Aaron of this city. 1t fell into the
hands of Henry S. Fitch, who was ar
rested last week for giving alleged
worthless checks to Temple University
and the University of Pennsylvania.
The Bulletin says the student hold
ing the scholarship is now senior in
the University Of Pennsylvania.
Senator Aaron said today: Il don't
know this student personally However
il he obtained a scholarship from me
it must have been through the Office
of william S. Ware
THE fact that the scholarship was
signed by Senator Mansfield can be
attributed to a system of exchange in
scholarships between State Senators
Under the system, an Eastern Senator
designates student to Western uni
versity in return for similar actor
by a Western Senator.
In this case ! simply signed tht
scholarship and turned 1t over to Ware
who filled the name in. probably
exchanged q scholarship with Senator
Mansfield. It's the most natural thing
IN the world" t#t@

BODY OF JANITOR
FOUND IN FIRE RUINS
William M. Scott, Sought by Po-
lice, Lost Life in Fire
Last Sunday.

The badly burned body of william
NJ. Scott. 3o-year-cld colored janitor,
was found today at the bottom of
dumbwaiter shaft in the Alzarado
Apartment, 20 Rhode Island avenue,
scene of costly fire Sunday.
The body was discovered by f1remen
clearing away debris in the basement.
The discovery ended city-wide search
for the janitor by police, who at first
doubted that he had met death in the
fire
Firemen were unable to explain how
the man got into the waiter shaft,
pointing out the opening in the base
ment was SO small it would have been
extremely difficult for him to crawl
through. They believed the blaze
started somewhere near the shaft.
Members of the headquarters hcmi-
eide squad and the coroner were re-
quested to investigate.
The fire, discovered early Sunday
morning, left 40 persons homeless. The
interior Of the building was completely
destroyed.

PARTIAL PAYMENT
DEBT PLAN DENIED
Mills Terms Reports That

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Mills, commenting on re-
ports that Great Britain would pay only
the 65,0oo,0oo interest payment on its
SOS, 100000 war debt installment due
December Is, today told newspaper men
this possibility had not been discussed
officially.
The Treasury Secretary said there
was no basis for any report at this time
that Great Britain would postpone its
S3o,oo0,o00 principal payment due on
December IS.
Mills yesterday conferred at length
with. Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British
Ambassador, but reiterated today that
any such postponement had not been
mentioned.

Next Move From Abroad"
I'VE are as completely in the dark
now as we were yesterday as far as
the war debt question is concerned" he
said. The next move must come from
abroad"
Meanwhile, Representative McFad-
den, Pennsylvania Republican, often at
outs with the administration, at the
Capitol expressed to reporters the view
that England and France might cut
down their debts to this country by
turning over some of the possessions
they have in American waters
He would exclude Canada from the
territorial transfer, but even so, he said,
Britain still has total area of 10000
square miles, including nearby Ber-
muda, Jamaica and many small islands.
France, he said, has islands and other
territory of $4,000 square miles which
she could turn over to be credited on
the war-debt books.
He has not changed his stand against
cancellation or revision.
Lindsay and Mills Confer.
Meanwhile, importance was attached
today to the latest conversations on the
subject held by Sir Ronald Lindsay
British Ambassador, and Secretary
Mills.
Whether the. Ambassador sought ad-
ditlonal information on the American
position or discussed specifically the
sos, 100000 payment Great Britain
must make December Is or default,
was not revealed.
Under the debt-funding agreement,
the s30,000,000 principal of that in

application, but the S65 100000 in in

FIRST HOME BANK
LOAN IS APPROVED
Regional Institutions Ready
to Aid Small Owners
in Distress.

After approximately three months Of
preliminary preparation the Home Loan
Bank Board today announced it had
approved its first loan and that re-
gional banks we're ready now to come
to the aid OF the small home owners in
distress.
The announcement was made by
Chairman Franklin W. Fort, who, at
the same time, said that as result Of
a Nation wide campaign "substan-
TALLY" more than ss,coOooo in stock
subscriptions had been raised. and that
all but two of the II regional institu
tions were now ready to loan money
without drawing on the Treasury.
The Home Loan Bank act calls for
minimum total capitalization of S134,-
100000, of which amount the Treas
ury is authorized to subscribe up to
Sl25, 100000.
Mr.. Fort said the Treasury would be
called upon at an early date for part of
the money. The entire sum, he said,
would be paid in installments.
One Application Received.
The first loan application was from
Pittsburgh institution, the chairman
said, and it was approved after short
investigation. He said this application
was the only one SO far received by the
board, although many are expected to
be filed shortly Mr. Fort said the in
terest rate for the country as a whole
would average approximately 5 per
cent.
Soon VIC expect the money to pour
out rapidly" he said.
We, the board" he continued "are
money jobbers. We loan at wholesale
to the retailers. the regional banks, who
will loan direct to member institutions. F"
As for direct loans to the small home
owners who find themselves in distress
because of mortgage difficulties, Mr
Fcrt said the regional banks are per-
euading member institutions such as
building and loan associations, life in
surance companies and savings banks in
various districts to take care of this
problem.
While the regional banks have not
yet made loans on their own money,
loans have been MADE to homeowners
by member institutions on reliance of
the regional banks funds" the chair
man explained. Continuing, he said:

Southern Democrats Against
Vote on First Day May
Delay Measure.
100 REPUBLICANS SEEM
READY TO SPEED ACTION
Speaker to Survey Situation to
Determine if Party Caucus
Will Be Necessary.
BY the Associated Press.

Some uncertainty over whether the
House of Representatives will have its
promised vote Monday on prohibition
repeal emerged today at the Capitol, in
the wake of prediction that-if taken
the vote would show 100 or more
Republican members favoring the Gar
ner resolution.
1t was the Republican whip-Bach-
mann of West Virginia-who made the
forecast, as he dispatched summons
to his party members to be sure to be
on hand. Such a showing of Repub-
lican strength for repeal would about
assure adoption by the two-thirds vote
required, if the Democrats remained
unified.
But number of Southern Democrats

that they will not vote for repeal, moves
which have given rise to hints that

members would be held in line.

Aware Of the situation, Speaker John
N. Garner told newspaper men this aft
ernoon that. although he Is convinced
the House should vote Monday en- out
right repeal, he intends to canvass the
situation and make known Saturday
whether he will go ahead with his plans
for a showdown then.
1T is our duty to keep good faith"
Garner said. The Democratic party

members of Congress on an immediate
repeal platform.
Il am not afraid to back up my plans.
II the opposition desires to delay the
action, we'll have to turn the question
over to the Judiciary Committee.
Il am not going to forecloSe myself.
I'll probably have an announcement
Saturday night. The truth is that
those who are opposing a vote on the
resolution Monday in reality don't want
to vote against the eighteenth amend
ment"
Representative Rainey of Illinois, the
Democratic floor leader, meanwhile said
he had surveyed the situation" and
found there was mo need for a party
caucus" to hold the Democrats.
McNary Expects Early Action.
Senator McNary Republican, Of
Oregon carried to President Hoover to-
day an opinion that the repeal question
could be disposed" of on Capitol Hill
before the Christmas Holidays. He told
newspapermen of his White House con-
ference, but would not state whether he
expected the disposition to be adoption
or defeat of repeal resolution.
In Rainey's opinion, there Is good
chance Of repeal being adopted" in the
House On Monday, the party lineup
will be 220 Democrats, 208 Repub-
licans, one Farmer Labor and six va
cancies.
1t will require two-thirds of those
voting to approve repeal there, after
which the problem goes to the Senate,
where a similar vote will be necessary
for adoption.
Rainey said there were certain TO be
some defections" among the Southern
Democrats in the House, but with 100
or more Republicans supporting it, in
dications are the resolution has fair
prospects Of getting the required mar

Three-Day Attempts to Gain Po-

Reichstag Fail.

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN, November 29-The reap
pointment Of Franz Won Papen as
chancellor Of the Reich, began to be re-
garded as certainty In political circles
today, when word came from the Nazis
that they would not support a cabinet
formed by Gen. Kurt Won Schleicher
Gregor Strasser, second in command
Of the forces of Adolf Hitler, declined
to come to Berlin from his Munich
headquarters at the request of Gen.
Won Schleicher, 1t became known. DR..
Wilhelm Frick, another Hitler lieuten-
ant, came instead, but informed the
defense Minister that he, like Won
Papen, would encounter determined op-
position from the Nazis.
Hitler Dashes Truce Hopes.
Gen. Won Schleicher accepted the ten
tative task of trying to form cabinet
only on the condition that he could
avoid clash with the Reichstag, and
his failure to win over the opposition
was regarded as tantamount to his
yielding to Won Papen, who has been
serving temporarily although he had
resigned.
Gen, Won Schleicher has been work
ing three days to secure at least a
political truce II not liberation and per-
haps support from the majority of the
Reichstag through the Winter.
Even last night the general felt con-
fldent OF success. until Hitlers intransi-
gence dashed his hopes, but this doesn't
mean the end of his political career.
1t was generally understood Gen. Won
Schleicher was being held in reserve
for the erection Of military dictator
ship In case o. the direst necessity.
Hindenburg May Insist.
In some political quarters the belief
even persisted that President Won Hin
denburg would insist on Gen. Won
Schleicher forming cabinet despite
the rebuff from the NaZis.
II Chancellor Won Papen is reap
pointed he must find some way of rid
ding himself Of the Reichstag, either by
q third dissolution or possibly by
a forcible six months adjournment as
an emergency measure under article 48
in the constitution.
The chancellor. like Won Schleicher.
has said he would be willing to refrain
from all political experiments and
center his efforts solely on getting the
nation through the economic and social
dangers of the Winter.
At any rate it appeared that no de-
cision regarding the chancellorship
could be expected today. Hitler. it was
said, will come to Berlin tomorrow to
talk to Gen. Won Schleicher.
