 PUZZLED OVER
 THE WAR DEBTS
Suspension Agreed Upon < af faLausanne Yesterday
 Has Now Been Turned :, to the Wall
:, By STEWART BROWN

United Press. Stan Correspondcnt) Lausanne, Juno 1S-(UP)-The Lausanne slate. showing $56.oo0.- 000s in war debts and reparations payments due July suspended, was' turned to the wall to-day as statesmen decided whether to wipe the slate clean or fIi 1t with new
 dreat Britain. Italy. and Ger.
 nahy stood for cancellation. France and her allies wanted al- teration.
 The statesmen will hold private conversations until the conference meets again Tuesday, but a private moratorium for Europe appeared to, ,be the only possible develop inent until the United States modi- fics its attitude.
 The Germans were at first pleased by the suspension. thinking 1t indicated that g final solution would be found by the conference. "The speeches of Edouard Herri- ot and Neville Chamberlain im- pressed me as animated by Good. cGsi Of thA. conference" Chancel- VVu xuVgu GWAus But the Germans were chagrined
 later to fnd that certain powers. headed by France, considered that the suspension might continue eith- CT until Washington changes its mind or France Is assured that cancellation would not make Ger many economically and politically stronger than France.
 The British, who sacrifice most by the suspension, Insisted that 1t was only a temporary interpreta- ton. They held that the declara- ton was issued purely to relieve pressure and to improve the psy- choioEical spirit the conference, with the und derstanding, that a def mite and final Solution should be found at Lausanne. !e. The delegates appeared to be divided into two groups. the first. headed by France, believed that the conference might dwindle into a semi-pcrfnanent economic. com mission charged with studying remedies for tho European and world crises, while a final solution of debts and reparations awaited further activity from the United states. Suspension would continue effectivc meanwhile. The second group, headed by Britain ana Italy. believed that the solution should bc found here as rapidly as possible, without await Ing . change in the American at-
 France, as shown by HerrIot's speech, refused to countenancc cancellation. Tho conference must tn ercfors seek coYnpromisc.
 Hefriot returned to Paris last night, to report to the council Of minister's at Paris.
 Berlin, June 1s--(UP)--Further delay onSa rcparations settlement through the temporary suspension of pawn nts by the Lausanne con" ference aroused no cheers In Ger
 The satisfa ction that the credit or powers had recognized Ger. many . ineapacity to pay was offset by what the average German con sidered perpetuation of q lack or confdence in the Reich. Germany wondered why issuance Of the dcath certificate was delayed if the world realized that the reparat'ons auestion was dead.

 The jury took the case at o. clock and brought in it's decision at 5.O5 o'clock. Immediately Mrs De- Mario, wife of the accused became hysterical and had to be escorted from the court room by deputy sheriffs. She created n scene as she cried out her husbands innocence.
