(COptlnued from Page l.D President Roosevelt and Secretary of Siate CordeII Hull, ruled last week that token payments by Great Britain, Italy, czncho-HIo- yakia, Latyin and Llthunnja had cleared them of default in fhc past. He made no ruling however, on future payments. This led to doubt iD diplomatic circles about the status Of l3 debtor countries who on June 10 will owe indaii- mGniF 10 the United States total ling sl74,g47.83G.
 In view Of reports from Eu- r0pean capitals and the private comment Of diplomats here, it ap. peared likely that there would bs a general default by all these coun- tries in June.

Berlin authorities are somewhat
puzzled over the mass departure of
japanese residents from Germany.
A large section Of Japanese who have
been residing in Germany for a good
many years are packing up and pre-
pairing to leave. Professional workers
and high-grade technicians are the
classes most affected by this migra-
ton, which began only a few weeks
ago, as though in response to def
mite order from Toxic.
At the same time ornaments
manufacturers in Germany report
that lately there has been definite
change in the character of tOdr
material orders for the Far East.
Manufacturers have been suddenly
notified that orders which cannot be
filled until after the Spring of 1895
are to be held over, activity and plant
capacity to be concentrated instead
on increasing the delivery of goods
capable of being turned out and de-
livereo at once.

week. They must return recommen-
dations by October 10.
Another important step disclosed
yesterday at the Recovery Admins
tration was N. r. AS willingness to
let expire last night minimum floor
prices previously set on automobile
tires
The tire code authority requested
an extension of these minimum prices,
but N. r. A. refused, holding it was
a last-hour request which should have
been made previously.
This decision on tires was not gen.
orally considered an indication Of
the new boards policy on price fixing
Should a price war result from the
removal Of minimum figures, it was
said authoritatively, the board would
reconsider the case.
Hard Realism" Needed.
Most of the board members still
were absent from the city, but meet
ing was scheduled for Tuesday. One
of those present, Walton Hamilton of
Yale University, a former member
of the Consumers Advisory Board,
commented that the boards new Job
calls both for a clear cut ideal end
for hard-headed realism"
1T had not occurred to ne that the
members of the National Industrial
Recovery Board represent particular
interests" Hamilton said. We differ
among ourselves in experience and
viewpoints. If we did not, the con-
tribution which together we can make
would hardly be worthy of the task.
1T is impossible to promote indus
trial recovery and leave out of the
picture industry, labor, or the con-
sumer, but the parties have a COM
mon interest in getting the industrial
system into order and this larger
purpose will prove to be far more i'm
portant in our deliberations than
the mere expression Of the interests
Of any particular group"
Despite Mr.. Roosevelt's earlier re-
buff of its direct QUESTIONABLE on New
Deal policies, the Chamber Of Com
merce again yesterday reiterated its
demand for clariflcation of New Deal
policies to quiet apprehension"
which it believes is retarding recovery.
Tonight's radio talk may, without di-
rect reference, contain some of the
answers.

Collapse.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 2e.-
Five men were crushed and smoth-
cred to death today when they were
trapped IT feet underground by the
collapse of a sewer tunnel in which
they were working.
Nine other men, a short distance
away, were able to scramble to safety,
but returned and risked their lives
in an effort to save their comrades.
They were baked, however, by the
tons of sticky mud which for a time
slid into the tunnel as fast as the
men could dig 1t out.
Several hours later the bodies of
the five were recovered. The victims
were Arthur Powers, "a, cement-block
worker, father of three children; Gay
lord B. Stephenson, 20, a city inspec-
tor; Aaron Frazier, Al, father of four;
Robert Holcomb, 80, father of two.
and George Smith, 26, colored, father
of two,
