AS the day progressed, serious OBJ
stacles developed to delay final ac-
ton on the measure. 1t still was
hoped, however, that President
Roosevelt would be able to sign the
bill today, thus making beer legal
on April 4.
Leaders in both houses were con-
fident that conferees could agree
soon on a compromise between the
80 per cent house beer bill and the
senate measure to reduce the per-
centage to 3:05, legalize wine and
fruity juices and forbid sale or gift
of the beverages to persons I'M
der Is.
But house rules provide that a
conference report must lie over one
day unless unanimous consent is
given to immediate consideration.
Some opposition has developed to
continuation of the strong arm
methods by which legislation has
been damned through the house
during the special session.
speaker henry 1. Ralney pre-
dicted final congressional action on
beer by Tuesday at the latest.
Fifteen days must elapse after
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
signs the bill before the legalized
beverages can be sold legally.
Chairman Harrison moved that
the senate agree to the conference
and insist OH its own amendments
a formality which does not neces-
sarily mean that senate conferences
will refuse to recede.
Vice-President John N. Garner
appointed Harrison and Senators
Walsh Dem., Mass, King Dem,
Utah, Reed (Rep., Pa, and Couz-
ems rep, Mich, to represent the
senate in the conference.

and loudly before getting an answer.

asked me inside.

He appeared terribly nervous and

"Yes, yes, he repeated as he kept
rubbing his face. I noticed that the

FRANCE At HEAD
Of LIST Of 5
'REM|NDED'
Treasury Willing to Waive 80
Days Clause If Powers Wish
to Pay in Governments
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
United States has sent formal
diplomatic notes to France and
the other European debt default
ing nations reminding them they
have payments totalling millions
Of dollars to make to this country
December Is.
This was learned today as it
became increasingly apparent the
Jnited States would be the loser
by arounu $300,000,000 on the
total amount due from the debtor
nations next Friday.
The purpose of the note was
to notify the defaulters that they
are expected to make some pay
ment on the debts.
Waiver BY Treasury
Signed by Acting Secretary Of
State Phillips, the notes were sent
to the diplomatic representatives
here Of France, Belgium, Poland,
Estonia and Hungary.
Identical except for the figures,
the notes called attention 20 the
amount of money the nation in
question was due to pay this
month.
The notes added that if any
of the debtor nations desired to
meet the payments in United
States Government obligations,
the Treasury Department would
waive the 80 days advance
notice usually required for this
type Of payment.
Defaults Seen Sure
The notes were expected to
prompt from the defaulting ma
tions a response as to their re-
Spective intentions concerning the
December IS payments. However,
it is considered virtually a fore
gone conclusion in diplomatic
circles here that France and
her satellites again will default.
The diplomatic reminder was
not sent to those nations which
already have announced their
intention of making payments or
with whom discussions concern
ing the December Is situation
are now under way.
However, one was sent TO
Rrunania and Lithuania. both
of which, although not default
ers in the past, have not been
heard from yet in connection
with their next due payments.
FINLAND to Pay
Those nations which have an
nounced their intention Of max
ing payments or with which nego-
tiations are under way include
Finland, Great Britain, 1tal ly'
Czechoslovakia and Latvia.
Finland has notified the State
Department it intends to con-
tinue meeting it's obligations IN
full pending a new settlement OF
its entire debt.
Great Britain has agreed to
nay $7,5O0,O00 on $l17,67O,0 600
due, and Italy $1.0O0,0O0 on ST.
133,9O5. Czechoslovakia has OF:
fered $150,OOO on $1,S65,624 and

DEED
HELD BY MARY

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. 9
0.N.S0.-Pickfair. the mansion
on the hills over Hollywood where
the royalty OF the world has met
the royalty of movieland, is now
the sole property Of Mary Pick
ford.
Deed to the estate was recorded
in Miss Pickford's name just prior
to the filing Of her suit for
divorce against Douglas Fair
banks, it was learned today. This
was believed to be the crux of
the property settlement between
the two.
In midsummer, to the surprise
Of Hollywood, the great estate
was placed on the market, and
it was this act that brought con-
firmation from Miss Pickford Of
the fact she and her bronzed,
athletic husband had separated.
Then, equally dramatically. the
home was withdrawn, and al
though Miss Pickford has not yet
divulged her plans it was con-
sidered likely she will continue
to preside over the scenes of her
greatest social triumphs.
Titled visitors from every land
have been entertained in its
spacious halls.
