By Gaffney Men
Hugh Kennedy Suggests
Play by Six to IL
Couples

Prospect of a checker .tourna-
ment between players represent
ing Gaffney. S. c., and Hender-
sonville was seen today when
Hugh Kennedy addressed a notice
to local players suggesting the
competition.
"a number of checker players
from Gaffney were here Satur--
day." Mr.. Kennedy writes, "and
played several games with local
players and tourists, and they are
very DESTROYS of arranging a
match game between six, eight or
IL of the best players here. The
writer suggested to Ty McAbee
of Gaffney that they send a form
al challenge by mail, giving US
time to get our players together,
the cares to be played in the
evening in the Chamber of Com
mrce rooms" 49,,
Mr.. Kennedy, who lives in the
Maxwell apartments, said he be-
lieved such a tournament would
attract perhas 200 spectators and
would provide diversion for sew

Mr.. Durham said the response
to the offer to accept county

GERMANY NOT TOPAY FOREIGN
DEBTS UNLESS CONCESSIONS
ARE MADE, SCHACHT STATES
American Investments In
volved; Dictator Says
Credit Agreement "Ex-
torted by Threats"
BY PAUL KECSKEMETI

BERLIN, Aug. 27.-(UP).-
Complete collapse of Germany:
foreign debt payments, involving
thousands of investors in America
was predicted by DR.. Hjalmar
Schacht, economic dictator" of
the Reich, unless some further
concessions are made by her
creditors.
Addressing journalists at the
Leipzig Fair, DR.. Schacht said:.
"Under the policy as pursued
at present, collapse of Germany's
foreign debts is an absolute GER
tainty."
He assailed certain transfer
agreements covering transfer of
cash abroad to meet debt pay
ments) obtained by some "credi-
tor countries" declaring they
were "extorted from Germany by
threats in order to obtain prefer
entail treatment compared with
other creditors"
ct was recalled that Britain's
threat to set up a clearing house
and seize German funds to pro-
tect British creditors induced
Germany to agree to pay the in
terest on the Dawes and Young
Plan loans to British holders of
these bonds when they had de-
clared a six months moratorium
on them to give Germany a
"breathing spell" and prevent in
flation.)
DIR. Schact predicted such agree
ments would transform the world
into a system of isolated eco
nomic fortresses, extending to
ruin world trade. He declared
the presen tsystem of apportion-
ing currency among importers
soon would be abandoned, since
the government was unable to as
sure prompt payments of imports.
Thus, considerable amounts due
foreign exporters remain unpaid.
He said the government in fu-
ture would seek to prevent I'M
ports for which foreign currency
is not available in, advance.
DR.. Schacht maintained that
the transfer agreements with the
creditor countries tended to de-
stroy the Reich's currency fund
with which Germany might other
wise pay for raw material i'm
ports and boost trade.
He insisted, even so, that Ger
many's industrial prosperity was
not menaced, despite the reduc-'
ton in imports, since Germany
is determined to promote the pro-
duction of domestic raw materials
by all conceivable means"
DR.. Schact denied that the gov
was seeking any new
credits, adding: eve don't want
any credit which is not given will
lingly and voluntarily"
