sharply that the picture drawn by
Hiss was misleading. They said
they managed the construction Of

Of 81 and operated 1t for a royalty
Of three cents on every pound Of
ammunition produced. This netted
about S2,451, 1876. but sl.976.645 was
paid back TO the government under
the exces profits tax, the company
officials said.
This left s4T4.540 for the Du

project, but company officials said
only S275.000 OF this ever reached
the parent organization because the
government refused TO allow $780,

On the other hand, the committee
contended the contract carried no
risk for the Du Points because the
government put up all the money.

U. S. May Be Loser

ny OHetOW 'Oco
LONDON, June 15.-Great Britain
decided today to seize German
funds in England to compensate
British creditors for the moratorium
declared by Germany on all her
foreign debts.
Business lei will receive COM
~pensation for commercial debts as
well as holders of German bonds,
including the guaranteed" Dawes
and Young plan loans.
Neville Chamberlain, chancellor
of the ~exchequer, announced the
plan in the house of commons, add
ing that if Germany voluntarily
made good before July lin other
words, abrogated the moratorium as
far as Britain is concerned-it
would not be put into effect.
The seizure would be accom-
plished by establishing a clearing
house which could sequester Ger
man funds in London obtained
through export balances, etc.
Britain's move, it was believed,
would react unfavorably On the
United States by making it more
difficult for American creditors to
get any payment. Lack of German
funds in New York makes a move
similar to the British futile.
Some financial men believed the
British arrangement would provide
that traders buying goods from
Germany should pay the sum due
into the clearing house instead of
remitting it to Germany. Those
selling goods to Germany would be
reimbursed from the clearing house
fund. The balance of receipts over
payment would be used to meet the
claims of investors in Germany
bonds.
British investors hold about $217,-
$50, 900 in Dawes and Young bonds,
on which 10,847,50O in interest is
due July /.

not muzzled or on leash will be
impounded today were being taken
by city and state health officials,
as result of an outbreak yesterday
when ten persons were bitten. One
of the dogs, which bit six persons
on West mccarthy street, is believed
to have been rabid. A little girl
was bitten by three dogs.
DR.. Herman G.. Morgan, health
commissioner. conferred with state
health authorities and planned a
conference for next week at which
the state and city health boards,
the safety board and the state
veterinarians Office will be repre-
sented.
State authorities indicated to DR..
Morgan that if a dog quarantine
was wanted here it would be de-
clared. Dogs would be held at the
pound five days, and if not claimed,
exterminated.
Police Chief Mike Morrissey said
his men would do everything they
could to prevent further attacks by
dogs.
City Attorney James Deery said
his Office would have ready for
presentation at city councils next
meeting an ordinance to require
a%nti-rabies vaccination of all dogs
before licenses are issued.
