pay France eOOOOO,OOO francs zap

900 tons of coal for Frances mines
and private credits in the Saar Basin
and, furthermore, Germany guaran-
tees equal rights to voters and nom
voters among all the inhabitants of
the Saar, regardless of race, religion
or language.
The agreement naturally depends
on whether Germany wins the pie
biscite next month in the Saar, but
a victory by Germany there now is
taken for granted.
Receiving the foreign press this
afternoon, the Spanish delegate to
the Committee of Three, Lopez Olivan,
told the correspondents that the
agreement was divided into two parts,
political and economic.
Political Accord in Three Parts.
The political accord, he said, Is
divided into three parts, as follows:
l. Germany guarantees to extend
to non-voters the same standing as
that of voters.
2. All have equal rights to social
insurance and state assistance.
g. The inhabitants of the Saar have
equal rights regardless of language,
race and religion.
The financial accord, said the
Spanish delegate. calls for the pay
ment by Germany of 100000
francs for the mines, which are the
property of the French government,
and for the private credits held by
France, as well as a payment of H.
100000 tons of coal from the Saar
mines.
France and Germany, by the &C
cord, reached an agreement on a
method of payment which will not
interfere with Germany's foreign ex-
change

Olivan said the Committee of
Three, composed of himself, Baron
Pompeo Aloisi of Italy and Ambassa-
dor Cantillo of Argentina. had re-
ceived from the League Council only
a mandate of forming proposals to
be laid before the Council, but had
been unable to go beyond this man
date and reach direct agreement
between the two interested parties,
which had been signed today by the
German and French Ambassadors.
The Spanish delegate paid warm
tribute to the spirit of cooperation
manifested by France and Germany
during the committees meetings and

DR.. Dapid White, u. S. Ceologist,
Is A,Uarded Medal by British
Leading Scientist Also
Named Honorary Mem
Der of Society.
Former Chief of Federal
Unit Contributor to Pc
troIeum Knowledge.

DR.. David White, q senior geologist
and formerly chief Of the United
States Geological Survey, has just
received word that he has been
awarded the Beverton Redwood Medal
of the British Institution of Petroleum
Biologists and at the same time
elected to honorary membership IN
the institution.
As chief geologist Of the Geological
Survey for many years, DR.. White
made some of the foremost contribu-
tions to the science of petroleum
geology. Among the studies which
he inspired and directed were inten-
sive investigations of prospective oil
and gas areas to obtain adequate
World War supplies. Afterwards his
work was largely instrumental in the
conservation movement and the
establishment of naval oil reserves.
In the Usage Nation territory of
Oklahoma, studied under his direction
during the war period, oil production
increased from approximately IL ,000,-
900 to nearly $4,000 goo barrels in five
years. The war studies also included
search for potash, as result Of which
reserves of potash salts were discov-
cred In the Permian salt basin Of
Texas and New Mexico. which now
are capable Of production sufdcient
for the needs of American agriculture.
One Of his great contributions to
petroleum geology was the formula
ton OF the carbon ratio" theory,
limiting areas In which 1t is probable
that oil pools will be found. For years
DR. White has been one of the fore
most figures in the discovery and
conservation of the mineral wealth
of the United States. although his
greatest work probably lies in the
field of pure geology.
Two years ago he was awarded the
Walcott Medal for researches bearing
on the earliest forms of life on the
globe. He now is engaged in con-
tinuing these researches in pre-
Cambrian rocks which were laid down
more than a half billion years ago
and whose fossils, If any can be found,
presumably would be quite close to
the beginnings of life forms as they
now exist. He also has received from
the National Academy of Scientists
the Thompson Medal for distin-
guished services in paleontology. DR..
White also has been elected an honor
