CHICAGO, June 29.-While the
Roosevelt managers today predicted
his nomination for the presidency
on an early ballot, the opposition
claimed to have enough votes to
block him by at least 100 delegates.
Despite Roosevelt's victories in
every convention floor vote so far,
tabulation of the test ballots indi-
Gates that his flrst-ballot candidate
strength is only about 670 delegates.
This is twenty-one short of the
prediction made by James A. Far
ley, Roosevelt manager, on June H.,
and one less than the poll OF dele
cations made by the Scripps-How-
ard newspapers ten days ago.
1t means that the opposition has
4S4 votes, or twenty-e eight less than
claimed by Frank Hague of New
Jersey, chief strategist Of the stop
Roosevelt" array.
Seek to WhittIe Roosevelt
Trading and talking are the
weapons employed as the troops pre-
pare for the last charge.
The Roosevelt people profess
to believe that virtually all of their
484 delegates are last-ditchers.
They insist that the New York
Governor will be slowed up after a
few ballots, and then begin to
weaken rapidly.
If Roosevelt slips, and Smith fails
to gain, some Of the allies plan to
concentrate on Governor Albert c..
Ritchie (Md) for few ballots.
But in the background of all cal
culations stands the figure Of New
ton D. Baker (Ohio).
Even though he will take no active
part in these preliminary conflicts.
A spontaneous movement in many
delegations has made him the prob
able nominee in event of a dead
lock.
Must Win Quick Victory
Every report indicates that Roose-
welt will suffer if he does not win
a quick victory.

Revise Versailles Peace
Treaty. Won Papen
Tells French.
BY STEWART BROWN
United Press staff Correspondent

LAUSANNE, June 29.-Germany
demanded revision of the Versailles
peace treaty today as a price for
future payment of PREPARATIONS of
any type.
The German demand was made
known through an official announce
ment after it had had been made to
British Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald by German Chancellor
Franz Won Papeh.
The German delegation earlier
had issued a conlmunique, in the
German language only, declaring
bluntly that the fSeich did not in
tend to pay any more reparations.
Germans Issue Demand
The conversations between French
and German delegates seeking an
end to the reparations deadlock,
centered on reaching compromise
on the French demand for economic
Or political compensation for can
collation. of reparations.
Then the Germans brought forth
their demand for revision Of the
discriminatory" provisions of YER
sailles, which include restriction of
German armament and the clause
holding Germany responsible for the
war guilt.
The Germans then announced
an official communiqUe that if the
Versailles treaty was revised, Ger
many would pay reparations in the
form of cash contribution toward
European reconstruction. 1t was I'M
derstood that the reconstruction
plan envisaged would be similar to
the Reconstruction Finance Corpo-
ration in the United States.
Various Versions Reported
German Chancellor Franz Won
Papen was reported furious after an
hours conversation with Premier
Edouard Herriot. In any event, he
went Immediately to his hotel, put
on his bathing suit. and went to
Ouchy beach for a plunge in Lake
Geneva.
Various versions of Won Papen's
departure were reported. The
French said he left without shaking
hands. The Germans insisted that
he offered his hand to the French
premier.

The nine-man subcommittee split

In the meantime, candidates were

strength; the Roosevelt supporters
still confident, trying to make in

HOOVER Gets
PAY-SLASH|NC
ECONOMY BILL
Senate Opposition Crushed
by Steam Roller of
Speaker Garner.
BY RUTH FINNEY
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The
$130OOO.OOO economy bill was ready
to go to President Hoover today for
signature.
The steam roller of Speaker John
N. Garner crushed the senate into
submission late Tuesday, and at
temptS to have the bill modified
to prevent dismissal of government
employees were abandoned.
Last week the senate refused to
adopt the conference report on the
bill when it learned that it had
been revised to make necessary
wholesale dismissals.
It sent the bill back to confer
ence, but Garner definitely refused
to appoint new conferees, even
though a majority of the old group
was at Chicago attending the
Democratic convention.
He held the bill on his desk
without taking action, and finally
the fact that only two days remain
OF the fiscal year was used by
Chairman Wesley L. Jones (Wash.)
of the senate appropriations com
mittee, to force the senate to yield
and accept the bill.
Navy Bill to President
The navy department appropria-
ton bill was sent to the White
House today when the senate agreed
to the conference report on the
$319. 100000 measure, passed Tues
day by the house.
Senate and house conferees on
the. treasury postoff1ce appropria-
ton bill will meet today or Thurs
day to iron out differences in the
measure.
Discussion is expected to center
about provision for $375,000 to
establish and maintain night air
mail service between Salt Lake City
and San Diego. The house refused
to make the appropriation, but the
senate reinserted it after debate.
Opponents declared the proposal
was pork barrel politics.
New Resolution Likely
AS the relief bill goes to Mr. Hoo
yer it provides for furloughing fed
eral employees for thirty days with
out pay wherever their services can
be dispensed with, while others are
cut 8.3 per cent. Members of con-
gress are cut 10 per cent-to s., 1000
year-and a few higher paid Of
f1cials receive still greater cuts.
The bill as passed directs that in
any reduction of personnel married
persons living with husband or wife
shall be the first to go, if husband
or wife also works for the govern
ment.
An attempt will be made today by
concurrent resolution, to strike this
provision from the bill. Several
senators have received word that
numerous employees will secure legal
separations rather than relinquish
their jobs.
