Jr, may de- mand and finance 8 full investiga- ton of the young tobacco heirs death when he arrives here next month. - A cablegram from Reynolds was received here yesterday saying that he could not possibly reach Winston Salem for at least a week. He was abo.rd his freighter-yacht in the Azores when he received word his brother was dead. Rich- ard Jr, has lived little in Winston Salem in recent years. There is a provision in his fathers will which provides that for every dollar he earns. the estate will add two.
 Therefore. when Reynolds went to sea a few months ago he bought a yacht. but had 1t equipped for freight cargo transportation. He has made 1t pay dividends carry ing tobacco and other freight.
 It was believed that he also would help clear up his young brothers estate when he arrives. Smith was understood to have left insurance totalling, some said about $30O,000.

 Washington. July 15.-(UP)-- President Hoovers assurance that the American people will not be pressed into any line of action' on war debts brought forward tho view here that the Lausanne "gen- tleman's agreement" in reality was British promise not to combine with Germany to tear up the Ver- sailles treaty.
 MT Hoover's statement was prompted by Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations com- nittee' as a result of the furore aroused by the Anglo French agreement incident to the Lausanne treaty.
 This agreement was interpreted to the United Press by a con- petent diplomatic authority as far more important than a, promise to present a united front" to Amer ica on war debts.
 Ever since revelation of the "gentleman's agreement" of the Lausanne conferees certain sena- tors have been bombarding the ad- ministration. They feared that the state department had promised cancellation or revision of debts Publication of tho Anglo French agreement intensified this con- cern. x.
 The state department did not be- lieve that the Anglo French agree ment portended a united front" on war debts. That subject, off, cials pointed out, was we'll taken care of in the '.gentleman's agree ment." It provided that none of the former allies should ratify the

Washington. July 15.-(UP)-- The bonus army's dead-tired "batr talion of death" with feet blis- tered and eyes bloodshot still held Capitol Hill to-day after a bewild- ering night in which confused authorities "called out the ma rines."
 There was not a sign of disor- der. There had been no sign of trouble all day or all night. And the steel-helmeted marines, armed with rifles and special batons. marched to the capitol and back again with the destitute veterans cheering their arrival and depar- ture.
 The veterans were exhausted by 4S hours of ceaseless marching. marching back and forth before the halls of congress. Their aching bodies cried for rest after three sweltering, almost sleepless nights.

By THOMAS L. STOKES

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington, July 15.-(UP)- President Hoover will go into the looming campaign without forma endorsement of the dry organiza. lions which backed him in 1928 This despite the out-and-out "wet- ness" of his democratic opponent. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York.
 Dry leaders constituting the ''Na- tional Prohibition Board of Strat- egy" decided, after hours of pro- tracted discussion, against an open endorsement of the chief executive, though he is the favored candidate. Some members of the board sought open procurement in his favor.
 But veteran heads who have fought through many campaigns overrode some of the newer ele- ments who wanted to hitch their campaign to the president because of his, record and because he obvi- ously is the dryer of the two can- didates. The platform plank upon which he stands calls only for sub- mission of a substitute amendment which would permit the states to
