Macdonald Holds
Debt Talk With Kinu

LONDON, Nov. 20 G.N.S).
Bearing a draft of the British
governments new note asking
suspension of the December Is
war debt payment, Prime Min
lister Macdonald called at Buck
ingham Palace this evening and
went into conference with King
George.
Before leaving 10 Downing st.
for the palace, Premier MacDon-
aid called a special session of his
cabinet for 9 p. m. in the cabinet
room of the House of Commons.
At this meeting the draft of the
note is expected to be approved
and probably will be dispatched to
Washington without further de-
Day.
The premier's visit to the palace
was in line with King Georges
request that he be kept in close
touch with all developments. It
was expected he might suggest
some revisions in the draft of the
note, which Premier Macdonald
will promptly transmit to the
cabinet at tonight's session.
Chances for payment by Britain
have frightened.
Government officials declared
1t appeared Prime Minister Mac
Donald, with the aid of Stanley
Baldwin, had finally triumphed
over the Treasury contention
that payment of the inStalment
would be more disastrous to the
nation than default.

day. He predicted 100 Republi-
can votes for repeal.
Representative Beck (R) Of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the
Republican wet bloc, announced
he would call a meeting of the
95 members of that block to con-
slider supporting Garner's repeal
resolution. Beck ersona lily
pledged his aid.
AS plans went forward for a
quick showdown on repeal, both
wet and dry organizations began
exerting pressure on returning
members.
Passage of the resolution,
which must command two-thircs S
Of the House, was in doubt.
Needs G. o. p. Support
A canvass of the declarations
of the lame duck" members in
dicated passage is unlikely unless
the Republican members now
supporting the Hoover plan throw
their full strength behind the
movement.
Representative Rainey Of H.
linoiS, Democratic leader, pre-
dicted the resolution would re-
ceive the necessary twothirds
majority. He said:
II have talked to many mem
berS and have found none
against it,"
Representative Blanton CD of
Texas, who had been enormously
reported as a convert" to the
wet ranks, said he would fight
the resolution. He favors a ma
tional referendum vote on pro
hibition. He said:
"The repeal resolution hasn't
IA chance of getting a twO-thirds
majority on the opening day,
although undeniably there has
been an increase in sentiment
against prohibition"
Representative Collier CD Of
Mississippi, chairman of the ways
and Means Committee, which will
frame a beer bill, also expressed
doubt as to success Of the repeal
movement.
Norris Opposes Repeal
Senate drys, watching the House
action, declared outright repeal
could not pass.
Opposition to repeal of the pro-
hibition amendment was an
nounced by Senator Norris (R)
of Nebraska, although he favors
legalizing beer.
While the beer question was
overshadowed temporarily by the
fight for repeal, plans were being
made for the House Ways and
Means Committee beer hearings
on December Z. ..e
Collier said a majority of the
brewers apparently had settled on
3 per cent beer as opposed to
2.75 per cent.
One Of the leading House vets,
Representative Dyer (R) of Mis-
souri,, ranking minority member
Of the Judiciary Committee,
opened a fight on the proposal to
submit repeal to State conven-
tionS. He said this would delay
action.

sons who were recently arrested
for soliciting funds for the
marchers.
Benjamin, as spokesman for the
group, said after the audience
with the Commissioners:
eve will not voluntarily give
up our right to present demands
to Congress, even though we
recognize that the superior
armed forces at the disposal Of
the District and Federal govern
ments may serve violently to
deprive us Of that right.

"The C0mmisSl . 2grs, while
pretending to be in sympathy
with the conditions of the un.
employed and protesting q
= readiness to afford us an ODpOr-
tunity to exercise our rights,
have nevertheless indicated that
it is their intention to SO inter-
pret the laws as to justify a
violent attack upon the hunger
march.
1--WE shall continue our eff.
forts to rally the support of the
people of Washington and the
workers of the entire country as
the most effective means of the
defense Of our rights"
Benjamin said the refusal of
the Commissioners to meet the
marcherS' demands would only
serve the spur his group to greater
effort to provide food and lodg.
ing for the marchers.

He said they have a storehouse
in Baltimore for food which can
DC brought here in an emergency
and that they will continue their
efforts to find a suitable place in
which to sleep and hold their con-
vention.
He made it clear, however, that
the marchers will make every ef-
fort to carry on their intention to
demand relief from Congress.
Although police figures place
the number of marchers now
actually en- route to Washington
at less than 800, Reynolds and
his group demanded that pro
vision be made to feed and shelter
5000 for three days.
The Capitol police force will
meet tomorrow to resume con.
sideration of the problem of
handling the hunger marchers if
they concentrate a demonstration
before the Capitol on the opening
day of Congress, David Lynn,
architect of the Capitol, said
today.
The police force will take uu
the question of granting a permit
to the marchers to parade on
the Capitol grounds, but in view
of their former attitude against
such demonstrations, it is not
considered likely that they will
give the marchers authority to
meet on the Capitol grounds.

Hears From Robinson

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov. 20
H.N.S0 With the approval Of
President-elect Roosevelt, the
Democrats will battle at the
lame duck" session of Congress
for modification of the Volstead
law, enactment Of farm relief
measures, and drastic reductions

If these major proposals are
enacted at the short session, Gov
ernor Roosevelt is convinced he
will escape the necessity of calling
a special session Immediately
after his Inauguration next
March.
To Balk Appointments
Following two-hour confer
ence with Mr.. Roosevelt, Senator
Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas,
Democratic Senate chief, said the
Senate would withhold confirma-
ton of pending or new executive
appointments with possibly a
few exceptions. He said:
Indications are that Execu-
tive nominations coming into
the Senate during the short seS-
sion will be carried over until
after the new administration is
inaugurated. 1t may be neCeS-
Sary to make exceptions, but
no effort is being made now to
decide what exceptions, if any,
should be made"
In justifying the Democratic
plan to refuse confirmation OF
President Hoover's appointments,
Robinson said:
"SOme of the pending .ap-
pOintmentS are bad. In any
event, an incoming admins

U. S. Expects Britain
To Send Gloomy Note

Further moves on the war debt
chessboard awaited today the re.
ceipt of a new British note which
London atches indicated
would be sent to Washington to.
morrow.
Until that is received and
studied, nothing will be initiated
here to grant the relief insisted
upon by the debtor nations in
their notes of last week.
Th3 American reply to those
communications was that they
presented nothing to warrant the
United States postroning the De.
cember IS payments, amounting
in all to some $125, ,OOO, 900.
1t is expected the new British
note will present a gloomy pic.
ture Of Britain's present finan-
cial situation, coupled with a
strong argument that worldwide
economic recovery will be hast
ened BY readjustment of the
whole Of the war debts.
ReadjuStment. of course, means
sharp scaling downward, or out.
right C, mediation. OF that, there
is no possibility, in either the
present or the succeeding Con
greSs.
If, however, the British make
out a sufficiently strong case as
affecting solely themselves, Presi
dent Hoover may be persuaded to
recommend to Congress some
measure of temporary relief fol
Britain alone. Some sup port
could be found for that in Con
greSS.
But as affecting the other urin
cipal debtors. notably France
there is no disposition either in
or out of Congress for revising
the existing agreements in any
direction except upward.

CABINETS FATE
PUT IN HANDS
Of CHAMBER
Confidence Vote Asked Rather
Than Deputies Ballot on
Payment Issue Itself

PARIS, Nov. 20 G.N.SD.-Pre-
Inier Edouard Herriot of France
today decided to stake the fate
Of his cabinet on the war debt
issue.
The premier's decision was made
in the face of apparently unani-
NOUS opposition in the Chamber
OF Deputies to payment of the
debt inStalment due the United
States on December Is.
Herriot, it was announced by
Paul Marchandeau, undersecretary
of state, will go before the cham
Der Thursday and ask for vote
of confidence, demanding free
hand to carry out the present war
debt negotiations.
Would Avoid Debt Vote
Herriot will ask the chamber to
give him the confidence vote in
place of voting on the proposal
offered by Louis Marin, Right Ma
tionalist leader, which, if passed,
would be tantamount to warn
ing that the chamber would re-
fuse to ratify the payment. Mar
Chandeau said:
''The Premier would prefer to
fall on a technicality rather
than the definite question of
TO pay or not to pay
According to present plans,
he will face the chamber on
Thursday and say:
81 am now engaged in negO-
tiating the war debt problem.
therefore the chamber should
not take a responsibility which
aS mine for the moment.
TO SUBMIT SOLUTION
When I have chosen a sOlu-
tiOn, / shall submit it to the
chamber, which then will have
the privilege of accepting or re-
jecting it,"
Opinion expressed in the corri-
dors of the chamber was that
Herriot's decision to ask a conf
dence vote under these condi-
tions entails certain downfall.

Need Insurgent Vote

Washington, Nov 25.-(UP)-
 Democratic chances of controlling

 session appeared today to rest with
 republican insurgents who bolted
 their party to support Governor
 Franklin D. Roosevelt in the presi-
 dential. campaign.
 If the bolting insurgents con-
 tinued to vote with regular repub-
 licans in organizing the senate. Re-
 publican control would be main-
 tained by the narrow margin of AS republicans, AT democrats and one farmer-laborite.
 The farmer-laborite, Senator
 Shipstead of Minnesota, has been
 quoted as being inclined to vote with the democrats for control should the opportunity present it. self. He has hitherto consistently voted with the republicans on or ganization matters.
 An equally important figure in the picture, however, is the veteran leader of the insurgents, Senator Norris, republican, Neb, insurgents usually familiar with his plans be- lieve he may move for reorganiza- ton if no democrat is willing to do so,
 Norris is the author of the "lame-duck' amendment to the Constitution now awaiting ratifica- tion by the states. The arnend- ment. which passed congress as the result of Norris persistent fight for
 many years, was based on his be- lief that the long delay between elections and assumption to power of the winning party was Ndetri- mental to the country.
 For this reason, 1t is believed Norris might insist on the demo- crats taking control and thus as suming early the responsibilities

New Haven, Conn, Nov 25L(U. P. P.)-How one of Americas rich est universities, endowed for more than s95,0OO, ,OO0, suffers from fluc- tuations in security values is re- vealed graphically in the annual treasurer's report of Yale Univer- sity, made public to-day.
 The report shows that a reduce tion of only one-half of one per- cent in the average yield on invest ed funds was directly responsible for an operating loss of $27S,O96.23 for the fiscal year ended June go. The deficit was the first reported in 25 years. The operating loss would have been considerably gfeater had it not been for drastic economics effected in departmental budgets, the report says.

Landlord Faces Serious Charge
(continued. from Page 1)

According to the story told by the complainant and on which the warrant was issued she was visit ing at the home of her mother on Sylvan avenue. Strileckis, the land- lord called around for his rent: Mrs Fillie's mother offered an explana- tion of some kind that she was un- able to meet her obligation at that particular time and an argument ensued.
 When Mrs Fillie went to the de- fense of her mother Strileckis is said to have become enraged and to have struck her several times. The chart furnished by the doctor is decorated with the letter x seven times, indicating injuries. ~.
 Strileckis has a far different story to tell than that given by Mrs Fill lie and Judge John F. McGrath will be expected to play part of referee in deciding the case.
