In Capital
Roosevelt Becomes
David Harum in
Silver Deal.
BY PAUL MALLON.

A GONY was written all over
~ President Roosevelt's face
~ when he consented verbally
4 \ last Tuesday to a compromise
with the silverites.
They knew they were getting good
bargain because it obviously panied
him so much. He looked like q man
who had just been drained of the
last drop Of his blood in a trade. He
was too weak to protest longer.
The general supposition here Is
that Mr.. Roosevelt has been reading
Dauid Harum again. At least that
great horse trader OF fiction un-
Questionably ,Uould sue the Presi-
dent for plagiarism if he could.
Agony 1uas Harun's trade mark.
He alUayS paS gr0dning about some
one getting the best OF him, but no
one eper did.
Remembering that, some Of the sill
verites have been looking over the
silver horse they bought at the White
House more carefully They are be-
ginning to get suspicious that he is
blind in at least one eye.

Strong hints that Great Britain ex-
poets last-minute solution of the
problem were heard last night in ofS-
cial circles.
Great Britain is certain that sou.o
sort OF amicable adjustment will be
made before June l5" said one au-
thority. Britain is eager to discuss
any proposal Mr.. Roosevelt may have
to offer"
The Express yesterday declared
bluntly: Roosevelt may as well know
that this country is paying no more
war debts
Said the Daily Telegraph: The
United States Will not take value in
goods and the perverse laws of trans

without ruinous results to commodity
prices"
ROME. May II P.-Italy may not
make any war debt payment at all
in Jure, said official circles today, in
consequence of the United States
notification that it will accept a
token payment, but that countries

in default.
These authorities said the American
announcement was equivalent to put
tirg countries such as Italy and Great
Britain, which demonstrated their
good will by paying portions of the
inStallments on the same level with
such countries as France, which re-
fused to pay at all.
The Italian government, however. is
awaiting further clarification before
reaching final decision.

From DakotaS to Texas.

Drought damage Is most severe in
the areas from the Dakotas and East
ern Montana to New Mexico and the
Texas Panhandle.
From these sections the Farm Ad-
ministration is beginning to get pleas
from farmers that they be allowed to
plant food crops. such as corn, on
land rented to the Government under
acreage-reduction agreements.
But admission officials say there
would be little point in making the
concession If the farmers could not
grow anything.
Harry L. Hopkins, the Federal relief
administrator, said yesterday that if
the drought continued the rural relief
problem, already acute in many farm
sections, would force the Federal Gov
ernment to make even greater expen-
ditures for relief Of farm families.

Acting Chairman Palmisano Of he
House District Committee stated that
joint hearings were held by the Senate
and House District Committees, which
were unanimously in support of this
legislation. I'VE all felt that the Dis
trict should be responsible and that
the money will be fully repaid" he
said. Mr. Palmisano also challenged
statements that the District has the
lowest taxes in the country by point
ing out that if debt obligations and
sinking funds of other large cities
like his own, Baltimore, were deduct
ed, the tax rate in the District is about
equal with that of other comparable
cities. He said Washington is in an
excellent financial condition and can
take care of this loan.
Representative Smith called atten-
tion to the leaders of civic and citi-
zens' associations who we're present
desiring an opportunity to indorse
this legislation.

Cochet pointed out that play ing on grass courts would work to the advantage o fthe Americans. It will be the first time since 1927, that the closing rounds will not be played on hard courts.
 Moreover, Cochet figures thata England has no player to team with Fred Perry in the doubles, to present as strong 8 combination selected from among Frank Shields Wilmer Allison and Sidney Wood. He believes the United States would face England with a one- match advantage virtually assured. He had little hopes of France mak- ing the challenge round.
 Business And Pleasure
 Martin Plaa, another French professional, who has been touring in South America with Cochet, arr rives today. The two Frenchmen will play against Big Bill Tilden and Ellsworth Vines at Madison Square Garden, Feb. 19 and 20. Af- ter which they will join the Til- den transforming troup.

CLEVER CENTRAL CAGE MEN CLASH
 WITH CROSBYTTES
Two Games and Dancing Tonight at Wilby Gym
 Visitors End in Loop

One of the most important bas- ketball games of the season will be played tonight at the Wilby gym, when Crosby meets Central high of Bridgeport, Central is just half a game behind Torfington, which Is leading the league. A Central vic. tory would put the boys from Bridgeport into tie with Coach Qarey's team for first place. Need- less to say the visltros will be shooting the works tonight, as a re- verse for Central may easily prove the obstacle which will prevent this team from overhauiing Torrington at all. Crosby still lighting against the jinx which has camped in its trail recently, will be trying to get start ed once more to realize the prom ise shown earlier in the season. Although Schofieid's team is prac- tically out of the running for the pennant, the team still has plenty of chance of finishing high up in the standing.
 Crosby still has six games to play, as 1t has the entire second half of the league season still in front of 1t. Cetnral, Torrington, Naugatuck, Arlsonia, Harding and Wilby will be played again shortly, and with all these games, with the exception of the Ansonia and Tor rington games, to be played in Wa terbury, the team may yet spring a few surprises. Tonight should be the occasion for Crosby to get started. Tn its last three games, all out of town. Crosby whipped Rog- CTS, lost a three-point decision to Windham, and a two-point decision to Hillhouse.
 Playing on its own surface, Cros- by should give Central a real bat tie tonight. With Joe Bagiey bcak In the lineup, with the team thor oughly rested, Schofleld's boys should once more show the form they flashed against Naugatuck @ month ago.
 Tonight will be the last oppor- tunity to see Central this season. There are those who believe Eddie Reilley's team the best in Come ticut, and one most likely to cop the Yale tournament. The team is a high-scoring aggregation with an average of 35 points per game. Tall and rangy, this aggressive quintet has lost but one game this season. a 3S-35 affair in Torrington on the night of Dec. 23. Central has not been stopped since.
 Dancing will follow tonight'a game.

BY HENRY McLEMORE
 (United Press Stan COrrcepOndcnt)
 New York, Feb 7.-(UP)-The National league pitcher with the most .tuff on the ball is not Carl Hubbell nor Dizzy Dean nor Lon Warneke, but one Roy Parmalee, strapping right-hand chunker of the New York Giants. Further more, Parmalee is the greatest pitching prospect either league has seen in years.
 At least that's what Larry Mac Phail of the Cincinnati Reds had to say in a bull session of base- ball men and baseball writers at the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday.
 T first laid eyes on Roy or 'Tarzan' as the boys call him, when was running the Columbus team in the American Association" Me- Phail said. "McGray sent him out. He was undoubtedly the widest pitchcer that every threw ball. The game he pitched for us he walked 16 or 17 men. The only redeeming feature of his work in that game that nobody could hit him. Those of the opposition who didn't walk or get nicked by wild throws, StruCk out.
 After I had watched him pitch 8 couple of times, decide that Parmalee never would be any good using the overland delivery that McGraw had told him to use. So I wired McGraw for permission to change his style. John wired back to go ahead and try anything that any change was bound to be c. Svaa r.a couldn't be any worse.
 "Well, the end of the season found him with more control, but an ordinary double flinger.
 But how he came along. Tn 1882, Roy was beaten just once in the American Association. His particular hate was St Paul, which club he beat eight times. He started working on St Paul when he heard that some of that teams players regarded him as yellow.
 "One day before a game. in St Paul Roy came up to me and said: Mister MacPhail the umpires are down on me. They think I'm so wild that when cut a corner closely they just yell 'ball' out of habit.
 1T told him this was probably true, and that the only way to get around it was to use his reputa- tion for frightful wildness in scar ing the opposition players. told him that when he went out on the mound that day he was to throw the first ball as wild as could. Hit the grandstand with 1t. Throw 1t anywhere.
 "Well, he did. The first St Paul batter came up and Roy uncorked the widest pitch ever laid eyes on. It hit the screen about nine feet over the catcher's head. It had a fine effect. The rest of the afternoon the St Paul players were afraid to come closer than five feet of the plate, and just stood off reaching for the balls. Every time they grew a bit confident, Roy would cut loose with one tow ard the press box and make 'em retreat. Another year with the Giants and he'll burn up the league"

RAIL MEDIATION UNIT
MAY ACT ON WAGES

WASHINGTON, April ~. (UP).
President Roosevelt tackled the
difficult railroad wage controc-
ersy Wednesday, while action on
other serious labor and NRA
problems waited the return of
Administrator Hugh s. Johnson.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Transports
ton Coordination Joseph B. East
man met for an hour and a half
with leading railroad executives.
The president will see labor lead
ers in day or two.
Eastman said no course of &C
ton had been determined, but he
indicated the wage dispute might
be left to the railroad mediation
board.
Clarence barrow. famous lib
eral lawyer, said the NRA review
board which he heads has found
"plenty to criticize" in the codes
it has investigated so far.
The barrow board will submit
a preliminary report to Roosevelt
Saturday.
Mr.. Roosevelt at his press con-
ference Wednesday said he de-
sired passage of legislation to
provide permanent labor arbitra-
ton machinery, but his attitude
on other aspects of the disputed
Wagner bill remained undis-
closed. "
