DR.. JENKINS Dies;
NOTED INVENTOR
Achieved World Fame as
Scientist in Radio and
Other Fields.

DR.. c. Francis jenkins, inventor Of
the radiovision and telephotogra
systems bearing his name, the motion
picture protector and countless other
notable devices, died early today of
heart trouble at his home, $500 Six

DR.. jenkins had been in III health
for more than three years. He was
stricken with angina pectoris in June,
1881, while on his way to the West
Coast and was taken from the train
at Chicago in a serious condition.
Returning to Washington. he began
a long battle to regain his health, and
apparently was we'll on the road to
recovery when he suffered another
severe attack last March. His condi-
ton had been grave since that time.
During recuperative periods after
his original attack, DR.. jenkins had
endeavored to continue supervision OF
certain experiments at his Connecti-
cut avenue laboratory in connection
with his most recent development,
home movie and sound recording
camera. Some months ago, however,
he was forced to abandon his scien-
tifc researches entirely, and he closed
the little laboratory near Dupont
Circle. where many of his major radio
inventions were perfected.
Martyr TO Science.
Physicians said it was Dr. jenkins
long and untiring work over the COM
plex problems of his laboratory that
overtaxed his heart and broke his
health. Mrs jenkins, always a close
companion and adviser in her hus-
bands sometimes perilous experiments.

In addition to his widow. DR.. Jen-
kins is survived by his father, A. M.
Jenkins, go. and two brothers, Will

Rev. Dr. H w. Burgan, pastor of
Hamline Methodist Episcopal Church.
and Rev. DR.. Chesteen Smith of Met

be in Rock Creek Cemetery.
The death of DR.. jenkins closes a
colorful career that began in humble
Quaker surroundings on an Indiana
farm; that followed devious paths to
a Treasury clerkship in Washington,
and that, after many disheartening
setbacks and disappointments, finally
ended in world recognition.
Received Many Honors.

CREDIT POOL OPEN
TO HOME OWNERS
$500, ,000,0 900 Made Avail

ing of Property.
BY VINCENT TUTCHING.

The Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton today threw open to distressed
home owners its s200.Ooo,O 900 credit
reservoir for property reconditioning,
authorized by a recent act of Con-
gress.
Completing several weeks of pre-
liminary preparation, organization set
up and instruction to field workers,
the corporation made known it Is now
ready to receive applications from
eligible home owners for improving
their properties.
Upward of 100000 homes in the
United States are potentially affected
by the new avenue of funds for re-
pairing and renovating rundown
properties. and between 600 and 1000
in the District are within the scope
of the program.
Three Groups Emphasized.
To discourage a flood of applica-
tions from home owners who are in
eligible to receive aid from the corpora
ton, the Home Reconditioning Divi-
sion places emphasis on the three
groups to whom it may extend as
Sistance. They are:
/. Home owners who have already
obtained loans from the corporation
2. Those who are eligible to have
their mortgages taken over by the
corporation.
3. Those who own their homes clear
of mortgages and cannot get recon-
ditioning loans from any private lend
ing agency. These are eligible to OBJ
tain reconditioning loans up to so per
cent of the value of the property as
reconditioned.

UN|TES DEBTORS
Capitals of Europe Await
Action by U. S.-London
View Is Cheered.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The capitals of Europe were lined
up solidly against America on the
war debts question for the first time
today
It's up TO Washington was the
consensus.
AS cheers rang out-almost every
where except in the United States
for Great Britain's decision to default,
the sentiment was general that the
complicated issue had been brought
to a head and that Americas hand
was forced.
A conference for a full and final
settlement of the issue was Eng
lands goal.
Paris Borrows for Arms
France, happy to find Britain a
bedfellow in default and a logical
leader in moves for settlement, turned
to its task of borrowing nearly $780,
10000 to pay for a military pre-
pardness program.
low in London's footsteps.
The development encouraged Ger
many to hope that its foreign credi-
tors would now be more lenient.
Newspaper comment generally said
world recovery and international
amity would be greatly forwarded if
an end to the question should be
reached.
The House of Commons and the
English public gave enthusiastic in
dorsement of the governments step.
One note of warning, however, was
raised by the London Times, which
said. Many will be apprehensive lest
it weaken respect, already gravely i'm
paired, for the sanctity of contracts"
The next step lies with America,
said the Morning Post. If something
is preferable to nothing in her eyes,
she knows quite we'll hCN to get it."
The Paris Temps asserted Ameri-
cans will have to realize that their
unbending policy leaves them with
empty hands. Any kind of settlement
would have been better for them
U. S. Awaits Decisions.
The State Department waited today
to hear the formal expression of other
European war debtors, generally ex-
pected to make defaulting Britain
their bellwether, before disclosing
the next move in the international
debts game.
Despite intimations from foreign
capitals that outright default would
be the rule rather than the exception
on the June Is installment day. no
immediate action was in prospect from
this side of the water.
A resolution was introduced by Sem
ator Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland
to authorize the President to nego-
tiate with foreign war debtors set
tlement on a lump sum and final
basis"
President Roosevelt has allowed 1t
to be broadcast throughout all diplo-
matte channels than any debtor ma
ton could open a discussion of its
obligations at any time. Thus far no
formal applications have been re-
ceived.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt has laid
down the rule that nations were en-
titled to a hearing on their debts, just
as though they were individuals. 1t
has been made plain that no collective
war debts parley will be staged.

of public opinion on the decision to
default.
