AWAIT REPLY
BY ROOSEVELT
President-Elect's Reaction To
Hoover Invitation Still Matter
OF Doubt.
BY FREDERICK A. STORM
United Press Staff Correspondent

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 14.-Pres-
ident-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt
is expected to announce without
delay-probably tonight = whether
he will accept President Hoover's S
invitation to confer at the White
House on governmental debts
and world economic problems.
Although officials declined to in
dicate Roosevelts attitude toward
the invitation, reports at the state
capitol said the President-elects IS
reply would be published tonight
and that, if it is an acceptance,
Roosevelt would stop at Washing
ton while enroute to Georgia early
next week.
1t was understood, however, that
under any circumstances Roose-
velt would confine himself to the
role of an observer at the meeting,
feeling that where no federal au-
thority exists as yet, none can be
exercised.

ABOARD PRESIDENT HOOV-
ER'S SPECIAL TRAIN, Nov. IA
President Hoover was returning to
Washington today burdened with
consideration of an international
war debt situation so grave that he
has asked the cooperation of Pre-
Sident-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt
and the incoming administration in
its solution. .t
The President, in taking the in
itiatiye in inviting Governor Roose-
velt to such a White House con-
ference later this week, took an
almost unprecedented action. In his
telegram to the PreSident-elect he
referred to the "maor Importance
of the debt problem to the nation
and the need of dealing in non
partisan fashion with the question
'for the common good of the
country"
Mr.. Hoover emphasized the pre-
vous attitude of congress in re-
fusing to accept some of his pro-
posals aimed toward further nego-
tiations after the Hoover mbrator-
ium and informed Roosevelt he was
'loath to proceed with recommen-
dations to the congress" until he
could confer in stating the admin
istration's case.
President Hoover's telegram was
sent Saturday, repeatedly soon after
he reached Boulder City, Nev,, for
his tour of inspection of the $685.
100000 Colorado River dam pro-
ect named in his honor. 1t was not
made public until yesterday, few
hours before a conference with the
press.
The chief executive appeared
anxious to get back to his desk in
the White House. He looked rested,
and has acquired healthy tan from
his few days on the Pacific coast.
He intends first after his confer
ence with his elected successor to
go over budget problems with ad-
ministration officialL He also is
completing his program for reor-
ganization of the federal govern
ment as authorized by congress.
He feels this will be significant
enough to cause some surprise. For
years he has been interested In the
problem of ridding the government
structure of overlapping bureau and
departmental functions. Under ac-
ton by the last session of congress
he may by executive order put into
effect such changes, provided con-
gress fails to act within go days on
his recommendations.
Interested In Dam
The President was visibly inter-
eSted in the great engineering feats
being performed at the Hoover Dam
site and in tie parlance of the en-
gineer discussed at length Sunday

pearances of crowds at stations 60

A small Robot" airplane with Fred
Munro resting leisurely at the con-
trolls droned steadily over United

of a strange flight to test the re-

Munro made the first individual
refueling contacts in history yes

cockpit to grasp the hose let down
by a refueling ship, Despite the
weight of the pilot on the wing,
the plane kept serenely on its
course. Munro expects TO remain
at least another day aloft.

ROOSEVELT HOST

WATERLOO, Neb, Nov. IA. U.D
Gus Sumnick, Douglas county
farmer, who entertained Gov.
Franklin d. Roosevelt during the
campaign at his farm here, has
just about decided to accept Roose-
velt's invitation to return the visit

companied by Mrs. Sumnick and
every one of their 13 children, he
said.

tomobile, Sumnick said

she would repay in kind, if the
family would call at the Roosevelt

BRITISH SURE
ABOUT DELAY
Leading Economists See Debt
Payment Postponement First
Step Toward Cacellation.
By HENRY L. RUSSELL

LONDON, Nov. 4.-Postponement
of the next British war debt pay
ment to the United States was re-
garded by leading British econo-
mists today as the first step toward
complete debt cancellation.
1t was held generally that rene
dial measures" which Britain men,
toned in the note to Washington
as necessary for the restoration of
prosperity certainly included a sug-
gestion of Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Neville Chamberlain's fire.
quent repeated official statement
in favor of complete cancellation.
Britain refused to consider the
possibility that postponement of
the December Is payment might
not be granted.
The official view as reflected in
today'S London newspapers was
that the British proposal should
commend itself to United States
public opinion" and furthermore,
that the speedy announcement that
debt negotiations had been opened
between Britain and the United
States, with payments suspend
ed, would have a powerful eff
feet in confirming and stabilizing
confidence and promoting the trade
recovery, which seems finally to
have begun"
Leaders in finance, industry,
business and diplomacy interviewed
by the United Press had the same
idea about the debt situation,
namely that gurther payments
would tend only to add to the fl
nancial chaos of the world.

Property Damage Estimated To

$1,OOO,OOO.

HAVANA, Cuba, Nov. 14.-Cuba
counted a toll of $500 dead today
in the terrific hurricane disaster
which obliterated the south coast
town of Santa Cruz del Sur and
spread untold havoc through Cam
aguey province.
A full recapitulation of the dis
aster was possible with fairly COM
plete returns from the stricken dis
trict. More than 1000 vert in
jured, some 300 of them severely.
The property damage and loss of
crops, sugar mills and machinery
amounted to perhaps $100,000,00O
and thousands of persons were
homeless and destitute, meaning
that they will have to be cared for
BY the government for months un-
| til rehabilitation is possible.
| Relief work was organized on an
| impressive scale, and food, cloth
| ing, madical and other supplies
were poured into the province by
train and truck.
The scene in what was last week
the populous port of Santa Cruz
was a sight which those who wit
messed it will never forget. The
United Press correspondent reached
there Saturday, the first American
reporter to arrive.

The countryside between CANA
guey and Santa Cruz del Sur,
which was literally blown away by
