PRESS DISPATCHES
CENSORED BY CHINA
Foreign and Vernacular Core
spondents Under Ban Applied
Without Notice.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NANKING, China, November 26.-
The Nationalist government Of China
today clamped on a censorship against
outgoing press dispatches sent by both
the vernacular and foreign CORE
spondents.
The action began without announce
ment, and was taken to indicate the
governments desire to avoid mention
Of censorship, which appeared to be in
effect on telegraphs, wireless, mails and
telephones.
The censors seemed to be working
in secret, since rejected matter was not
returned to senders or the latter noti-
fed their dispatches had been held up.
The foreign correspondents, especially
the Russians and japanese, were re-
ported to be receiving close attention
from military detectives.
The Kuomintang, the Nationalist
party organization; the foreign office
and other governmental departments
denied knowledge of censorship.
Gen. Chang Kai-Shek, the military
leader of the government, was believed
in Chinese circles to have ordered mil
itary subordinates to set up censorship
without reference to regular govern
ment channels.

US. DEBTS REPLIES
SHOW DIFFERENCES
Trade Payments Suggested
to France, but Not to
Great Britain.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Important differences in the text of
the notes sent by Secretary Stimson
to the British and French governments
In reply to their request for post
ponement of the installments due on
December Is, and for thorough re-
vision of the entire war debts question
has aroused considerable comment In
washington political and diplomatic
circles.
The note sent to Great Britain con-
tains a paragraph which reads as fol-
lows: "* In the light Of the his
toric position of the United States that
reparations are solely an European
question In which the United States
are not involved, I am sure that no
inference can be intended that the set
tlement of German reparations at Lau-
same was made in reliance upon any
commitments given by this Govern
ment."
This paragraph disposing Of the
rumors circulated here and abroad that
the United States had, directly or IN
directly, encouraged the allied powers
to reduce substantially the German
reparations holding forth some kind OF
hope that the United States Govern
ment would in turn "do something" for

note sent to the French government.

On the other hand, the Secretary Of
State mentions for the first time off,

PRESIDENT DELAYS
GERMAN CABINET.
Appointment of Chancellor
May Not Be Made for
Several Days.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, November 26.-President
Won Hindenburg held crown council"
with his closest advisers today and de-
cided to postpone the appointment Of a
new chancellor for the Reich for several
days.
The delay was believed due to the
fact Hindenburg wished to ascertain
how the Reichstag would regard the
appointment Of q presidial cabinet diff
ferent than the junker government OF
Chancellor Franz Won Papen.
Hope for Toleyation.
While oficial circles did not appear
to expect support for such govern
ment from the majority Of the Reichs-
tag, they seemed to hope at least either
for liberation by pivotal parties, or an
agreement to give q new cabinet Q
chance to work by adjourning several
months.
The pivotal parties might be the
Adolph Hitler, who declined to form q
parliamentary government.
The President held his conference
with Chancellor Won Papen, whose cab
met Is serving temporarily after its
resignation; Otto Meissner. the presi-
Dental secretary, and Gen. Kurt Won
Schleicher, Won Papen's minister OF
defense.
Won Neurath Named.
Who viii be the next chancellor Is
still anybody's guess today. The latest
rlmors mention the name Of Baron
Konstantin Won Neurath, the Won Papen
foreign minister, who leaves for Geneva
shortly.
It was reasoned that he could COM
bine the chancellorship and the port
folio of foreign affairs as did former
Chancellor Heinrich Bruening. Al
though Won Neurath possesses the Presi-
dents confidence in a marked degree,
informed circles considered his appoint
ment unlikely.

Concerned" With Enforcement,
Says Safety Director.

BY the Associated Press
CLEVELAND, November 26.-A broad
intimation that the Cleveland Police
Department cannot be greatly con-
cerned" with enforcement of liquor laws
was given in an address last night by
Safety Director Frank j. Merrick.
The safety director said war of un-
precedented intensity was being waged
continually against racketeering, vice
and many serious crimes, but that he
would not ask the people of Cleveland
to be 80 gullliblep as to believe that
the police force in its present numbers
can do anything more than scratch
the surface in the enforcement Of the
liquor laws"
Continuing, Merrick said, THE great
est minds in the country have agreed
that it is impossible to enforce the pres
ent prohibition law to any degree which
might result in the determination of
the liquor traffic. The two major polit-
ical parties have gone on record con-
curing in this belief and President
elect Roosevelt also has agreed with
this statement"

ROOSEVELT PLANS
FARM CONFERENCES
Congressional and Grange
Leaders Will Confer With
President elect Today.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne ASSOCIATED fEeSs
WARM SPRINGS, Ga, November
President Franklin D. Roose-
welt turned his attention today to prob
lens that have beset the farmer more
than a century and arranged to inter-
rupt his vacation for conferences with
committee from the National Grange
and a group of members Of the House
Agriculture Committee.
At the head of the group Of farm
leaders, comprising the Executive Com
mittee Of the National Grange, who
arranged to come to see the President
elect, was Fred ]. Freestone, master Of
the New York State National Grange
and an old acquaintance of Mr. Roose-
velt's.
The Grangers carried the plan Of the
National Grange for the rehabilitation
of agriculture to lay before the Presi-
dent-elect. Mr.. Roosevelt had not been
informed, In advance of what they
planned to propose. In his speech at
Topeka during the campaign he sug-
gested that the leaders OF the farm

Allotment Plan Seen.
Some Of the advisers Of the New York
Governor at that time considered that
the plan he outlined came nearest to
a description of the domestic allotment
plan under which the farmers would
be guaranteed the cost of production
for all grain that was allocated to meet
domestic requirements.
Shortly after the visit of the Grange
committee, Mr.. Roosevelt will receive
the group of members of the House Ag-
riculture Committee. With them he
will discuss the plan by which the
Democratic party hopes to bring the
farmer out of the difficulties encoun-
tered in recent years. He has not yet
disclosed the details of this plan.
The groups will see Mr.. Roosevelt in
a little white house that has been
changed considerably since his election
to the presidency. 1t sits just below the
brow of hill on slope overlooking the
wooded foothills of Central Georgia.
Living Room Is Nautical.
At the entrance to the grounds a
booth has been set up for Secret Service
men, at which they stop and question
all persons seeking admittance.
Beyond this, passing along a little
roadway through the oaks and pines,
the visitor comes to four-columned
white cottage set just below two-car
garage.
Inside the delegations will meet the
President-elect in a long living room
with a stone fireplace, fianked by built
in bookcases. Over the mantle stands
a model of a three-masted schooner.
Along the walls are displayed pictures
Of ships.
And below, at q plain oak desk, a
cigarette holder clasped between his
teeth, sits Franklin D. Roosevelt. ready
to banter or to argue, as the case
may be.

MITCHELL PROMISES
TO CONSIDER PLAN
Police Duty First to Protect Citi-
zens, Says Spokesman-Prepared-
ness to Maintain Order Urged.

A delegation representing united civic
and business organizations Of Wash
ington appealed to Attorney General
Mitchell today to induce the Federal
Government to assume responsibility for
the hunger marchers scheduled to come
here December 4, provided their num-
Der is too large for the metropolitan
police to keep in order without neglect
ing their duty to the people Of the
District.
The delegation, representing the
Washington Chamber Of Commerce. the
Board of Trade, the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, the Real
Estate Board and the District Medical
Society, conferred with the Attorney
General for approximately an hour, at
the end of which time, they said, ne
stated merely that he would give the
matter consideration.
Police Duty to Citizens.
I'VE do not expect the Federal Gov
ernment to take any action II only a
comparatively small number OF hunger
marchers come here" spokesman said.
But we feel that the first duty OF the
METROPOLITAN Police Department Is 10
protect people of the District, and the
humber Of officers required to maintain
law and order among any very large
proup of mcr and women would be so
great as to deprive the people OF the
District of adequate protection.
During. the conference with the At
torney General the delegation outlined
a resolution adopted by the united
ciyic-business organization and made
public last night. The various organi-
cations have a total membership OF
nearly 100000.
"We realize the Federal Government
has no legal power to keep the hunger
marchers from coming to Washington" !"
said the spokesman. I'VE ask only that
the Federal Government be prepared to
maintain law and order under any cr-
cumstances that may develop IN con-
nection with the coming Of the march,
ers or any other very large group OF
men and women, Communistic or
otherwise"
Comment Is Declined.
Following the conference. the Attor-
ney Generals office declined to make
any comment on the delegations re-
quest.
The appeal to the Attorney General,
it was explained by the delegates, was
directly in line with the resolution
made made public last night.

ganiZations that free food and shell

employed Councils Of America, sponsors

appealed to the Police Department to
prevent police interference with solici-
tors who are making a -house-to-house
canvas for food and funds.
The demands Of the hunger marchers
were fatty rejected at the Police De-
partment. A committee Of five that
called to present the demand was told
that house-to-house begging was in
violation Of the law.
The committee. however. said the
attitude of the Police Department could
not be understood because Brig. Gen.

Motion to Suspend Rules Will
Be Recognized, Speaker
Announces.
SENATOR McNARY BACKS
EARLY CONGRESS ACTION
Vice President-Elect Convinced
Legislators Should Ballot on
Amendment Before Beer.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Speaker John N. Garner today an
nounced he would recognize a motion
to suspend the rules for a vote on the
resolution to repeal the eighteenth
amendment on the first day Of the
coming session Of Congress.
The Vice President-elect said ''both
parties have demanded an opportunity
to vote on 1t, and I'm going to let them
vote on 1t on December s."
Only moment before, ON the Senate
side Of the Capitol, similar sentiments
had been expressed by Senator McNary
Of Oregon, the Republican leader.
Submission of repeal amendment
to the States would require two-thirds
Of those voting in the House and Sen
ate.
McNary told newspaper men that, In
view Of the actions Of the political con-
ventions, he would urge an early con-
gresSional decision.
Senators Undecided on Form.
Senate leaders had not determined
today what form the proposed resolu-
ton should take there.
They were informed that Senator
Glass, Democrat, .of Virginia, wanted
his resolution which was before the
Senate last session, to be referred to
the Judiciary Committee for revision.
This might result in some other
measure forming the basis for debate
and action when the Senate takes up
the question.
The Glass resolution proposed SUBJ
stitute for the eighteenth amendment,
one that would give a constitutional
guarantee against the saloon.
Giving his views to reporters. Mr..
Garner said "a good many gentlemen
in Congress In both parties favor a
vote on repeal before presentation Of
beer bill, and it seems to me to be
the natural order Of things to vote ON
repeal and then on beer, later"
Garner said he had noticed that
Senator Borah, Republican Of Idaho,
prohihitionist, has said that for ror-
derly procedure" repeal should be voted
on before beer legislation.
'T thought it over and thought &c
was pretty good reasonine.. Garner
said.

HUNTERS BAND TO TRACK DOWN
GIANT WOLF RAIDER OF OZARKS
Lone Beast Leves Toll Pigs and Poultry and Eludes

The wolf had close call a week ago.
A farmer saw him and called Indian
Jim. Jim's hounds picked up the trail,
but the wolf took to a creek and shook
of his pursuers.
The VOLTS raiding tactics are well
known. He dragS his prey for about
so feet and then kills by seizing it
about the throat and throwing the
body over his shoulder. His most recent
victim was a 5o-pound pig belonging
to Ed Hutchinson.
Old Charlie, lone worker, has been
known to attack a small pack of
coyotes. He has been cornered by
hounds, but fought his way out, killing
or crippling the dogs.
Hunters are preparing to join to-
