FIVE NATIONS MAKE DECISION
 AT LAUSANNE
Britain, France, Italy, Bel- gium and Japan Sus- pend All War Debts and Preparations
BY STEWART BROWN

United Press Stan Correspondent.
 Lausanne. Switzerland. June IT.. -UP)--War debt and repara- tons payments were declared sus- pended temporarily by the princi- pal nations at the Lausanne con- ference to-day.
 The suspension was announced jointly by Britain, France, Italy. Belgium and Japan. The other 13 nations at the conference, where the United States is not repre- sented, were expected to agree.
 The suspension was for the du- ration of the conference. The declaration did not state specifical- ly whether payments would be resumed after the conference. Some believed 1t may mean that if the conference fails of agree ment, a special commission will function during the interim, with the suspension declaratoin still ef- fective. That might allow post ponement of final solution until after the American elections, with out prejudicing Frances stand against cancellation and Germany's and Britain's desire to see the slate wiped clear.
 The positive action of the five powers was taken on the second day of the important conference at which the principal nations in- volvcd in the tangled financial ob- Hgations of the World war are making desperate effort to find a way out. of the morass.
 Debt payments to the United States naturally are not affected by the declaration. Although the Hoover moratorium expires July l, payments to the United States are not scheduled to be resumed until late in the year, by which time the debtors obviously hope to attempt some compromise with the United States. after the presi- dential election.
 The principal payments affected are due in July. The suspension is advantageous to France, Italy and Belgium but represents sac rifice by Britain. On July 1, annuities due the United Kingdom under the Hague agreement total 100000 pounds at par (3.392,O00) from Belgium, Italy and France. On July IS, French war debt | payment is due the United King dom or l,zOO,OOO pounds ($5,839,- 000.) Italy. owes the United King dom war debt payment of 320, 900 pounds S1.555.200). Germany owes the. world bank about g.000,- 900 pounds (S29,160,000.) Ali fig. ures are at sterling par.
 The position of the powers was clarified in.speeches to the confer ence. ieI
 "Reparatoins are now revealed as unrcaiizabie and uselessh" said Franz von Papen. Germany's ''monocle" chancellor.

DON'T QUOTE ME

Chicago, July 17-(U. P.) Now that the thing is all over and the bitterness seems to be passing away one can be amused by some of the things which happened during the prohibition debate at the republi- can national convention.
 For instance, there was the lady from Maine who slept soundiy throughout the entire proceeding. Nothing seemed to disturb her. And there was James Francis Burke. dapper counsel for the national committee who read newspaper most of the time. paying no more attention than a senator does dur ing some great struggle in the Sem ate.
 Mrs Agnes Jones Clifford, of Pennsylvania, speaking for the re- peal plank got her figures mixed.>
 Fifty thousand women in this nation are against prohibition" she told the convention.
 'Attaboy", cried someone in the gallery. Mrs Clifford, not knowing that she had dropped few ciphers off the figure she intended to give, smiled with gatisfaction.
 While Nicholas Murray Butler was speaking Chairman Fess of the national committee, noted prOhibi- tionist, and Ralph l.. Williams, drank carafe of water. A page boy filled the carafe again and Fess and Williams poured themselves another drink.
 Within an hour after the conven- ton adjourned yesterday after noon delegates began catching trains. But enough remained to make .he ,lght lively - the first evening of hi!arity the convention has produced.
 Loud voices echoed in hotel cor riders. X glee club sang ln'the lob by of one hostclry.
 M -----------t,f It required two trucks to haul away the rubbish left in the sta. dium--just the waste paper. and such and not including pop bottles The delegates drank water at the rate of 1000 gallons . day. Two hundred empty i've gallon watel jugs were carted out of the con vention hall after each session.

Assistant States Attorney Will liam B. Fitzgerald denied the state had framed" Frank DeMario. 40. charged with wiiful burning of his home on Walnut street extension, during the formers closing argu- ment to the jury in superior court to-day. MT Fitzgerald, who prose- cuted the case for the state, took exception to the statements of de- fense counsel, Attorney Edward Mascofo and Attorney James E.. Mcknight and asked the jury to disregard the innuendos and dec iarations that the state had framed" the accused.
 Judge Jennings was slated to give the charge and instructions to the jury about 2:30 this afternoon. Assuming Judge Jennings would take an hour for the charge the jury would take the case for de- liberation about 3:30 o'clock.
 Attorney Fitzgerald in his clos ing arguments charged the state had proven its case against the accused and asked the jury to bring in a verdict of guilty. He called attention to the statements made by the defense counsel In their tplea to the jury and describ- ed them as innuendos and declar- ations that the state had framed DeMario. ''Why should the State of Connecticut desire to bring an innocent man into court and at- tempt to pin a crime such as this on to him." asked Mir Fitzgerald. Don't you think the states at- torney's office is busy enough with ont attempting any such scheme ?" he cried.
 Attorney Mascolo, seated at the press table, rose and objected to the statements of Mir Fitzgerald. Your Honor" he said, I'd like to take exception to the remarks of MT Fitzgerald. We did not claim the state had framed DeMario.'

CHILE IS AGAIN BACK UNDER THE
 DAVILA GOVT
BloodIess Revolt Over threw the Power of Col Grove and the Rebels Are Again in Power
By JOHN VIDAL q praaa StaR (,OrrpsnOndcnt

(UnlteO frcSS otdu NOEECoIVuN0AseI
 Santiago, Chile, June IT. (UP)-- Carlos c. Davila, former Chilean ambassador to Washington. was re- turned to power in Chile to-day by q bloodless revolt which overthrew the government headed by Col Marmaduke Grove.
 Determined to "die fighting" aft CT he received an ultimatum from the rebels, Col Grove was forced to surrender when Carabineros guard ing the presidential palace observ- cd their traition, not to engage in civil war. Col Grove was arrested and will be deported to Argentina.
 The streets surrounding the palace were cleared for a bom- bardment, with tanks and light ar- tillery facing the palace and air planes flying overhead. A rebel regiment occupied an unfinished building of rcenforced concrete from which they could fire directly into the palace.
 Davila headed civilian junta which included Ex-Senator Pedro Cardenas and Alberto Cadero, a triumph over Col Grove, who had forced Davila's resignation as head of the new socialist government.
 The new junta is purely nation alistic in character and Is expected to be moderate. It will advocate socialism in industry, but will not be governmed by communistic ideas.
 The overthrow of the Grove re- gime came dramatically and sud- denly after the country was be- neycd to have become quiet and loyal to the socialist administra- ton. The movement started at the ministry of war, directly opposite the presidential palace. Residents of Santiago were enjoying their late evening promendades when they saw infantry concentrated at the war ministry, and 500 cara bineros drawn up suddenly in front of the palace.
 The loyal forces stationed mach inc guns at balconies and windows of the palace and prepared for a seize. Armed men swarmed over the spacious lawns. Others appear ed on the palace roof and behind trees.
 Meanwhile the rebels brought UT tanks and armored cars and re. enforced their infantry. Advance guards made their way cautiously across the plaza separating the wal ministry and the palace.
 It appeared that hostilities would begin any minute, when Col Bravo one of the rebel leaders, sent ar ultimatum to the Junta nsking its resignation by lI:30 D. m. other. wise. Col Bravo said. the rebeli would bombard the palace.
 Inside the palace, Col Grove and his colleagues attempted to coms to terms with the rebels. Then Co |Arriagada, chief of the Carabin- eros. informed the 5unta that there was no reason for his men to par. |iticipate in civil war. so Col Grove realized that resistance was useless The Carabineros were withdrawn and the junta surrendered and wal disarmed. 4
