WAR DEBTS ARE NOT
MENTIONED TODAY

LONDON, March 30.-~(UP)--
Norman II. Davis, President
RooseveIt's special emissary on
the chaotic European front. and
Hugh s. Gibson, American ambaS-
sador to Belgium, discussed with
high British officials todav pro-
poSals to hasten the world eco
nomic conference and salvage the
threatened disarmament purley or
which the peace of Europe may
depend.
On the agenda of the American
diplomats meeting with Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald and
Foreign Minister Sir John Simon
were questions of tariff barriers,
armament, and the tense Far Eas-
tern situation.
After an early breakfast with
Gibson, Davis went to 10 Down.

ence with Macdonald and Simon.
Another meeting was arranged
for p. m. today.
In his .three-quarters of an hour
with the prime minister, Davis as
sumed the role of listener. while
Macdonald and Simon explained
their desire for an early economic
conference.
The two British statesmen also
gave Davis the latest develop
ments in the disarmament situa-
ton, and touched briefly on other
world problems.
Davis, before meeting MacDon-
aid, insisted that war debts would
play no part in today's. confer
ence. and declined to discuss that
question.
"Our primary interest,". he said
S'6.s6n his hurried arrival from Ply
mouth. "is in the economic con-

ready to accept the earliest pos
sible date for calling the interna-

prepared and working basis for

1t is regarded as certain that
Premier Macdonald would inform
the American diplomats of pro-
posals to revise the war treaties,
but Mr.. Davis attitude was re-
garded as certain to be non-com-
initial.

GLASGOW, Scotland, Mar. 80.
(UP).-Boos mingled with thun-
derous cheers yesterday in the
checkered reception accorded the
Prince of Wales, on his arrival
for brief tour of Scotland.
The police sought to minimize
the booing elements. but Com
munist leaders organized their
followers into "booing sections"
along the route of his motor pro-
cession from the station. -
Their red-necked supporters
shouted at the Prince as he drove
through the Anderson district of
Glasgow. but their cries were
drowned out by the cheers of most
of the populace. ..- ...
The most disturbing incident
occurred at the Saint Roch's Rec
reational club. AS the automobiles
in the Princes procession halted
and he got out, persons in the
crowd stoned windows of the club.

MOSCOW. March 30.--(UP).
Soviet Russia has bluntly told
Great Britain that any attempt to
influence Russia's decision to try
three British subjects on charges
of sabotage would prove useless,
it was revealed last night.
In an ironically worded conf
munique, the British representa-
tons were rebuffed and London
told, in effect, to keep "hands OFF,
in the operation of Russian courts.
The British subjects were ar
rested recently in connection with
sabotage charges growing out Of
an investigation into the British
representatives of MetropolitaF
Vickers, Ltd. Six Britons original
ly were arrested, and three re-
leased.
In an official communique, the
government said that the British
ambassador, Sir Esmond Ovey,
presented strong protest to
Maxim Litvinoff, foreign commits
sar, but was told that the trial of
the accused men had already been
decided upon and was irrevocable,
J Sir Esmpnd was told that BIT

Wet decision were useless, and
that, moreover. diplomatic pres

Russia. Such pressure, it was sar'
castically declared. might sue
coed sometimes in Mexico. but 1t
foredoomed to failure in the So
Wet Union"
Sir Esmond was British minis
ter to Mexico for four years.
Previously, it was indicated TO
Russia that Britain would take
measures if the trial of the Brit
ish subjects were not abandoned.
Sir Esmond, although he re-
fused otherwise to comment, reg
istered amusement at the Soviet
reference to Mexico. He picked
ND a heavy silver cigarette case
when the United Press correspon-
dent called, and showed the
friendly inscription signed by the
then foreign minister in Mexico,
Gennaro Estrada.
"That hardly indicates that i
attempted to browbeat the Next
cans" he said, smiling.
The Soviet rebuff to Britain
came as a climax to the delicate
problem growing out of the arrest
of the Metropolitan-Vickers rep
resentatives and several Russian
employees of the British firm.
The British reaction has de-
manded the government sever re-
lations with Moscow. and the gov
eminent demanded the immediate
release of the Britons and dis

dation. 90.

official action had declared the

Approval in New Form
and Signature by. F. D.
Seen by Tonight

WASHINGTON, Mar. 80. (UP)
President Roosevelt's project to
put 100000 unemployed men to
work in the forests was passed
without roll call vote by the
house last night after smashing
through mild revolt and being
temporarily damned in one of the
worst parliamentary tangles seen
in years.
The bill, which was attacked as
an undue grant of power now
goes back to the senate for ac-
ton on two amendments which
the house added to the measure.
The senate passed the measure
Tuesday. Debate Wednesday was
sprinkled with cries of Hitler
ISM" =
Rep. Carroll Beedy, Repn., Of
Maine who led the fight against
the administration bill, was re-
sponsible for the parliamentary
maneuyer that blocked the bill
temporarily late yesterday just as
the house was about to vote.
Striking at the vitals of the
bill after warning the house that
it should check its grants of pow
err to the chief executive, Beedy
challenged the right of the labor
committee, a legislative commit
tee to authorize the. president, to
divert appropriations for public
works to this project. ...
After noisy wrangle Repre-
sentative Falph F. Lozier, DEM,

Democratic leaders by upholding

to be a local problem, and that it was
not the custom of the Pope's represent
alive at the national capitol to inter-
fere in local matters. He suggested that
the branch renew its protests to Card
inal Mandelein and the local hierarchy
Of the church. To date none of the
local Catholic officials have replied to

peal is planned direct to the Pope.

RUST BEARCATS SHARPEN CLAWS
(By Harry Reynolds

Rust College, particularly outstand
ing in the field Of athletics for several
decades, again raises the curtains on
the stage of her football drama for
the year 1933-34. Upon the rise of the
curtains scanty squad of "a men made
its appearance. Although many of its
members are new and lacking in train
ing and experiments bulk and fight
ing spirit constitute two favorable fac
tors which tend toward the develop
ment if a powerful machine.
Counting on the services of five letter
men, Samuel Griffin, youthful tutor of
the Bearcats and also a product of
Rust, hopes to make Of his apparently
new team a strong contender for the
state championship which it held IN
1882.
While the letter men of the back
field will furnish most of the ofense
and defense. Cornhusker Worthum,
newcomer who pack 225 pounds, pro
misses to make trouble for the opposi-
ton at guard if he keeps going at his
present clip. Ole Miss" King, aver
sity guard and letter man will work
in his same position For center King
Sol Salisbury is the first choice. The
tackle assignments will likely 90 to
Babe" and Fritz" Lindsay, two of the
trio cf husky Lindtay Brothers. In
"Bama" Hopkins, the coach sees an end
u exceptional ability and with Big Jack
Wilson working at the other terminal
the Bearcats can boast of two capable
win-men.
The presence of four excellent often
sive backs and letter men gives the
team adequate scoring power. Bugs
Eubanks, efficient defensive and block
ing back will hold one of the halfback
positions Ben THE Brute Lindsay,
great plunging fullbacz and powerful
defensive man. will furnish the driv-
ing force when it is needed. Captain
Frank Slick" Larkins halfback and
double threat man, will likely call sig
nasls in the absence of the varsity
quarterback of last year with "Whirl-
wind Bolton, elusive fullback Of last
year working in the other halfback
position.
Coach Griffin is spending much time
developing his line which contains
much raw material and will put the
finishing touches Of the squad for the
approaching combat on the 14th of Oct
ober. The team has a heavy schedule
and is expected to maintain its enviable
reputation on the gridiron.

NUTTER WINS SEVEN MINUTE
VERDICT IN MURDER TRIAL;
WHITE MAN AIDS WHEN RACE
HELP FAILS

Atlanta City, N. j. Oct, 6, (ANP)
Seven minutes after jury had walk
ed out of the courtroom of judge joseph
A. Corio last Thursday, where they
had listened to the evidence in the
case of the state against Mrs. Mary
Reasoner, charged with the murder of
George Ludlow, July 10, 1882, the
members returned with a verdict of
acquittal.
Mrs Reasoner claimed that She shot
Ludlow in sclf-defense after he had be
come infuriated because she repulsed
his improper advances. A nine year cid
girl testified that the woman fired sew
eral shots in the air to brighten Ludlow
but that he persisted in his efforts to
seize and injure her.
Mrs. Reasoner and William Lee were
both arrested in connection with the
murder and were kept in Jail for 10
months. During that time, Mrs Rea-
soner lost her home.
Because the state refused TO appoint
competent counsel to defend her, She
was required to await the return OF
health to friend, atty. James A. Light
foot, who conducted her defense asso
ciated with Atty. Isaac H. Nutter. When
funds for. the necessary expenses at
tached to the case were not available, a
White man, Frank Crawford, told the
lawyers to go ahead with the case and
he would bear the expense.
Both lawyers denurred to his SUI
gesticn, holding that Negroes them
selves should bear the costs but only
forty dollars was collected from Ne
groes and Mr. Crawford sustained the
balance.
The case against William Lee was
dismissed.
