QUESTION Of

Hoover Plunges Into Task I'm

GETS CORDIAL GREETING
Confers With Administration
Leaders As To Course OF Ac-

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Presi-
dent Hoover, came back to Wash
ington today, and, pausing only tc
exchange greetings with the crowd
of friends who welcomed him
home, plunged Immediately into
the momentous problems of wal
debts and domestic difficulties con-
fronting him.
crowd of 1000 persons, includ-
ing Vice President Curtis and most
of the members of the cabinet, met
the Presidents train at the con-
clusion of his transcontinental jour-
ney from Palo Alto, Calf. MI
Hoover, tired but smiling, shook
hands with his well wishers and
then hurried to the White House
He was at his desk, in the execu-
tive offices, attacking the mass OF
business before him, at a. m.
The President was returning as
a candidate who had been defeat
ed for reelection. The reception was
a friendly one and Mr.. Hoover
seemed to appreciate it. But the
pressure of world and domestic
problems overshadowed political
considerations and he went direct
ly at the jobs which face him while
he is preparing to turn the gov
ernment over to the new admins
tration.
Mr.. Hoover conferred during the
morning with Secretary of Treas
ury Mills and Former Senator Hen
ry J. Allen of Kansas. They are
among his closest advisers.
An invitation also was extend
ed to Secretary of State Stimson
to have luncheon with the Presi-
dent at the White House.
Mr.. Hoover took up his labors
to carve out a definite program
Tor meeting the appeals of Euro
pean nations for relief from war
debt payments due Dec. Is with
the feeling that it would be inad-
visable to force payments at this
time.
Foresees Difficulties
While opposing further reduction
or cancellation of war debts, the
President is convinced that some
action should be taken to ease the
burden.
The President foresees difficulties
with congress ON this score. Con-
gressional opinion has been opposed
to an extension of the debt mora
torium. Congress mas the final
word in passing on the American
attitude toward European demands
for further war debt revision. The
executive branch of the government
acts in a purely advisory capacity.
Secretary Mills, at the conclu-
sion of his conference, said the gen.
eral question of war debts and kind
red problems had been discussed.
He explained, however, that he
had been closeted with the Presi-
dent for only about Is minutes and
that the discussion was of a. gener-
al nature, with no decisions on a
policy to be pursued in this crucial
matter.
Chairman Everett Sanders of the
Republican n I'll o n a committee
spent Is minutes with Mr.. Hoover
following Mills visit. He refused to
comment on his talk with the Pre-
sident, but said he found the chief
executive looking we'll and rested.

ATLANTA, NOV. 10. (U.R) - AL
phonse Capone, prisoner No. 40,886,
emerged from the gray obscurity of
prison routine today, to make a
plea for liberty.
Guarded more heavily than he
has been at any time in his spec
tacular career, the one time over
lord of Chicago gangland found a
new tribute to his Importance in
the elaborate preparations that
had been made by government au-
thorities for the brief interlude in
his imprisonment. NJ
From the gloomy, rambling pris-
on OH the outskirts of Atlanta,
Capone had to be transferred to
the busy downtown section for a
hearing on his application for a
writ of habeas corpus, to be heard
by Judge E. Marvin Underwood.
An elaborate plan for protecting
the notorious prisoner had been
worked out by U. S. Marshal Louis
H. Crawford, responsible for Ca
pone while he makes his trip to
town. Beside a heavy guard to
travel with Capone there were
deputy marshals around the feder-
al building and inside.
When the courtroom where the
hearing is to be held is filled, the
corridors outside will be vacant
save for guards. No one else will
be allowed in them while the hear
ing proceeds, Crawford has ruled.

CORONA, Calf, Nov. Is.
(SpeciaD-Germany has al
ways paid each of these other
nations more than each of
them paid us. But Germany
has quit paying them. Now
they say they can't pay us.
What they mean is that they
could pay us, but they would
have to use some of their own
money to do it with. And, of
course a thing as revolutionary
as that never entered their
heads.
Now the big joke is that we
had been loaning Germany all
the money that they pay them
so that they could pay us. So
it really wasn't Europe that
fell down on the debts, it was
us. It's all our fault.
1t was a wonderful idea as
the Republicans worked it for
years, only we run out of
money and couldn't keep it go
ing. But don't ever lay the
fault on Europe for not paying
us. They would start tomorrow
if we would just loan 'em the
money to do it on.

Geo Barrere Discusses Subject Here With
 Orchestra Feb 22

What makes a great conduc- tor?" Georges Barrere, conductor of the Little Symphony Orchestra, which will appear here for con cert on February 22nd in Buck ingham hall, was asked.
 His answer was in keeping with his reputation as a humorist. With half smile peeping through his famous beard, he said:
 Well, I am quite sure musical talent is necessary, but 1t is cer- tainly less appreciated than some other qualities such as curly hair. natural marcelled or permanent waved; impeccable London tailored clothes; ultra white long cuffs and collar; carefully manicured hands. especially the left one; graceful elbows and wrists; a loud brass section and a strong pull with the committee"
 In spite of his sense of humor MT Barrere never permits thost associated with him to be humor. ous when they are rehearsing oi giving concerts. He believes thai there Is time for all things and art must be taken seriously Through his orchestra he hal made known to the American pub lie some of the finest, but hither- to little known works of the great composers.

But always after the main part of the concert Is over he gives what he terms an After the Concert Number" in lighter vein. These include such informal numbers as Tame Ami nal Tunes," "In a Vegetable Garden" and others,

 munity Club Feb 25
PLANS FOR MARCH 17

The Washington Park Com. munity Club met last night fin Mul- cahy school and decided to hold q Washington bicentennial celebra- ton on the evening of February '25.
 It was reported that the propo- sition to hold a supper and dance in Piedmont hall on March IF has been abandoned owing to the cost of the hall. which would include $25 for insurance, $5 for a police man and pay of school teacher. These items with q few other things would amount to about $40, It was different when the hall be- longed to the Hopeville school district, and the price was mod crate, but now that the school de- partment has charge of the prop erty all this Is changed, although there seemed to be a doubt about the facts, the statement being made that the Piedmont hall had been leased to the Piedmont club for a hundred years at an annual rental of $1.
 If the entertainment takes place at all, it will be held at the Chase Park House, where ample &C., commodation has been had for $5.
 A vote was passed instructinS the secretary to forward com munication to the safety board ih- forming them about the lack of police protection in the south end of the city during the night time. Stores are being broken into every other evening and the aggrieved parties feel that they are entitled to better protection. A communi- cation was received from Thomas F. Moore, clerk of the park board. stating that the action of the club in seeking cement coping for the field stone wall in Washington Park, reported to him. had been brought to the attention of the superintendent of parks.

The "boy, who never got a break" was the verbal description given yesterday to Judge T. ". Meyer of Henry Angelilloy 19, of 77 Pilgrim Ave, charged with att tempted burglary. On the strength of this statement formal order committing him to the state re- formatory at Cheshire was sus- pended until today to permit the introduction of more character evi- dence on which it was thought likely that the court might be placed in a position to give the lad the long deserved "break."
 Young Angelillo got a "break" today, but it was decidedly a bad one. Instead of being sent to the Cheshire reformatory Judge Meyer ordered the accused with his pal, James Zarrella, 19, of 28 Pearl street held for superior court un- der bonds of $2,000. This places the authorities in a position to deal more severely with both.
