WASHINGTON, July IA. U.P)-
Senate and house conferees today
conceded a deadlock on the
So, 2,122, 100000 relief program and
decided to report a disagreement
back to their respective house.
The action almost certainly de-
stroyed all possibility of congress
sional adjournment tomorrow, and
left the possibility that 1t might
take until early next week to set
tie the question.
The conferees agreed on every
item in the bill except the provision
for publicity on future reconstruc-
ton finance corporation loans.
The house conferees insisted on
the house provision for publicity
on all loans The senate clause
specified that only relief loans
should be made public.
House Floor Leader Rainey said
he would bring the matter up III
the house tomorrow, with a prob
able recommendation that the
house recede from its stand on pub
licity, with an amendment. Sem
ate leaders hoped, however, that
the house could reach a decision
today.
Senator Wagner (Dem) New
York, author Of the senate bill, an
nounced the conferees had decided
to retain the Glass amendment
providing that the federal reserve
board be empowered to authorize
federal reserve banks to make loans
to individuals in exigent circum-
| stances.
The provision had a two-year
| limitation. In this form it Is
understood to be acceptable to
President Hoover, who otherwise
is opposed to private loans.
WASHINGTON, July ID. U.P)-
Enactment of the So, ,122, ,0O0, 900 re-
lief bill and the consequent ad-
journment of congress were further
delayed today ny inability of SEN
ate and house conferees to reach a
speedy agreement on the measure.
Leaders had hoped that the diff
ferences between the two houses
could be adjusted within an hour,
but three and a half hours discus
sion failed to produce a compromise.
1t was still expected that a short
afternoon session would result. In
the drafting of bill acceptable to
both houses and to the President.
The plan was that the senate
should pass the measure this af-
ternoon if possible so that the house
could approve it and send it to the
President tomorrow. This would
make is possible to adjourn congress
tomorrow.
Discussion at the meeting of the
conferees centered about provisions
for publicity Of future loans by the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
which will handle the great bulk
of the relief work
The house clause provided that
all loans be made public. The SEN
ate bill restricted publicity to re-
lief loans.
Senate conference members indi-
Gated that the house would accept
the senate provision for setting up
agricultural credit corporations in
land bank districts at the discretion
Of the corporation. They would be
capitalized at s8,000,o00 each. sub

DISAGREE
ON TEXT
OF PACT
England And France In
terpret Debt Confer
ence Differently.
NOT AIMED AT u. S.
British Premier Denies
Any Secret Understand
ing With America.
lBy United Press)

The problem of how Europe can
get out OF paying the $11,000,000
600 war debt it owes the United
States was begged today in a mo-
rass of misunderstanding, high
flown diplomatic phrases and con-
flicting official statements.
The statesmen at Lausanne, when
they ended reparations-"maybe"-
did some below stairs talking and
reached "gentlemen's agreement
that is causing red faces in Paris
and London, now that it has be-
come public, and considerable be-
wilderment and indignation at
Washington
The gentlemen's agreem n t,
smoked out by the press, was re-
luctantly published in London and
Paris today. 1t provided, under its
diplomatic yerbiage, what may be
expressed in simple American that
"all bets at Lausanne are off un-
less Uncle Sam forgives our debts. "
To complicate the situation, Lon
don and Paris published the text
of private agreement they
reached at Lausanne. 1t would
seem to say, if it's language means
anything, that France and Britain
will work hand in glove, and that
neither will play any such maneu-
yer as fixing things up privately
with Washington without letting
the other in on the deal.
So Premier Herriott interpreted
it. But London threw up its hands
in horror and said it implied no
such thing. Downing Street is
sued statement today saying
there is mo truth" in any state
ment that the declaration Is appli-
cable to the British debt to the
'-yAited States.
The disputed phrase of the dec
laration reads:
and to keep each other
mutually informed of any questions
coming to their notice similar in
origin to that now so happily set
tied at Lausanne which may effect
the European regime"
Although War debts are consid-
cred by France as similar in origin
to reparations and certainly affect
ing the European regime, Downing
Street argued that European re-
gime" excludes debts owed to the
United States.
Italy Joined the Anglo-French
, lineup today. 1t has been officially
reiterated, however, that the en-
tente, as they call it, does not
mean any united European front
against the United States.
The significant statement was
made in Rome that "the Lausanne
decisions reaffirm the connection
between reparations and war debts
and represent the first decisive step
on the road to their final cancella-
ton"

WASHINGTON, July IA. The
unbending will of a crippled man
kept 400 World war veterans in line
today as they marched under a
blazing sun in their strange siege
of Capitol Hill.
Back and forth across the hot
concrete outside the senate and
house of Representatives swayed a
line of men-many of whom have
been without sleep for 36 hours
pitting the last ounces of strength
against a congress that is about
to adjourn, apparently without pass
ing bonus bill.
Time and again great gaps ap-
peared in the line of march as men
sank to the pavement exhausted by
WEAKNESS and the heat that was
climbing past SO degrees.
Up and down the ranks of the
army stormed a strange figure, his
head encased in steel to support
an injured neck. From under his

Farmers Relief
Measure Shelved

WASHINGTON, July IA. W.H-
The Norbeck farm relief bill ap-
peared today to be definitely
shelved. as Speaker Garner an
nounced that he had been informed
that President Hoover would veto
the measure.
The bill, providing for direct
bounties to farmers on their pro-
duction of wheat, cotton and hogs
was passed yesterday by the SEN
ate without a record vote.

Inventor Killed
By Air Bomb

CHICAGO, July IA. U.I)-The
air bomb which William Strube, S.
president of the Strube Machine
Works, invented as a substitute for
dynamite. exploded in his hands
today, decapitating him.
Five other persons, who were
standing near Strube in labora-
tory room of his machine works,
narrowly escaped injury.
They were his brother, Edward
D. Strube, secretary-treasurer of
the company; Frank Armstrong
representative of a mining COM
pany, and three machinists.
Apparently the steel shell into
which air was being forced was
defective. A fragment was blown
off and decapitated the inventor
The others were showered with
fine particles.

Special Session
Opposed In North

SACRAMENTO, July IA. U.P)-
Preliminary returns from Governor
Rolph's poll of legislators on the
question of a special session to con-
slider the states water problem to-
day showed 13 voting no, yes, and
3 undecided.
The opposition, however, came
largely from northern California
lawmakers, many of whom havd
long been opposed to the water de-
velopment plan on the ground that
it would rob Sacramento valley
farmers of water needed for future
growth.
SACRAMENTO. July IA. W.P-
The proposed statewide water devel-
opment program today was appar-
emily doomed to defeat in case a
special session of the legislature is
called by Governor Rolph.
Fourteen members of the state
senate, or enough to kill consti-
tutional amendment designed to
carry out the water program, had
cast their votes against the meas
ure, according to a United Press
checkup shortly after noon.
