FOREIGN HOLDERS
OF BONDS TO SUE
Will Act Against Gold De.
cision When Court Per-

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. April 6.-Holders of
American bonds in Europe are pre-
pared to bring concerted action
against the gold decision of the
United States Supreme Court should
there be any change in the personnel
of the court, it was learned today.
Barnet Hollander. a London bar
rister, has been retained by pro-
tective committee for investors to
prepare the groundwork for suits,
which will be prosecuted vigorously.
Hollander is making a hurried trip
to the United States April II. after
which he will call a joint meeting
of committees representing French,
Netherland, Swiss, Belgian and Brit
ish investors in Paris to map out
plans.
The suits, when brought, probably
will be on behalf of one individual
bondholder from each country, Hol-
lander said.
"All we are seeking is simple JUS
tice," the barrister declared. 1T is
we'll established and has the au-
thority of the Supreme Court of the
United States that when the per-
formance of a contract is made i'm
possible by a supervening change in
the law money previously paid in
such cases is recoverable.
I'VE call 1t failure of consider
alton The court in the present
cases holds that the paramount law
of the United States has vaidly in
tervened in cases of non-govern-
mental defendants to prevent pay
ment in gold. Accordingly there is
a remedy to recover what was parted
with so as to put the parties in status
quo ante"

NEW YORK, April 6.-Cables and
radio dispatches to Business Week
give the following survey of business
abroad for the week ending today.
LONDON.-"TWot things now affect
Britain-the international situation,
with Hitler in the ascendant and the
coming budget, which will be opened
on April IS. Main business fear is
that war danger will drive gold and
funds across the Atlantic, and cause
bad markets in London.
London continues to believe this
week that the Belgian devaluation
move is merely prelude to the
abandonment of gold by Holland and
France. This is expected to precipi-
tate currency war which would un-
settle business to the point where all
European nations, at least, would be
willing to cooperate in a stabilization
conference.
Economic recovery has been
slowed by all these developments, but
it has not been halted. Iron
and steel producers. and the brick
industry. are worried by possible in
tensification Of Belgian competition
following devaluation. Encouraging
note this week was the announcement
by the London & North Eastern
Railroad of an order for f500,000 for
new rolling stock and electrification. II
French Reaction Brief.
PARIS.-"French bonds were down,

was only temporary. Paris is fully
aware that the economic situations in
the two countries are different
Though franc futures are at dis
count, Paris is again comparatively
calm as far as the monetary situa-
ton is concerned.
"Diplomatically, there is no such
calm. France is not reasSured by the

hopes for any striking results.
Reich Isolation Grows.
BERLIN.-"Germany's isolation is
more complete this week than last. II
London has made no definite new
agreements with France and Russia
the British are at least pushing peace
plans along lines inimical to Germany
I'm addition, the move by Belgium
definitely to devalue leaves Germany
, in a more hopeless position than ever
in world export markets.
Business has reacted to all these
developments. Import restrictions
have been frightened. Public expendi-
lures have been reduced. The German
railroads have even found it necessary
to cut their monthly expenditures fol
rail in half, despite the fact they are
planned by the government as part
cf the program of reducing unemploy-
ment. February retail sales were only
per cent above the comparable pc
riod last year. Security markets are
stagnant."

TWO CASES OF
MENINGITIS ARE

Direct Contact With Carriers

traction

Two accurately diagnosed cases Of
Epidemic Meningitis have occurred in
our County during the past ten days.
Both cases have occurred in the CCC
Camp located between Pocomoke and
Snow Hill. In addition, boy of ten,
a civilian, died of a condition which
was diagnosed Meningitis from elm
ical symptoms only and unfortunately,
it was not possible to confirm such
diagnosis by laboratory examination.
Epidemic Meningitis principally &C.
ours in connection with crowded liv-
ing conditions, such as are found in
ships, jails and camps. The disease
gains entrance into the body through
the mouth and nose and is most fire.
quently spread by carriers, however,
fortunately, the majority of persons
are immune to the disease.
AS the disease is contracted by the
few non-immunes by direct or indirect
contact with carriers, it follows that
certain precautions taken by the pub
lie may be expected to minimize the
number of cases occurring.
Direct contact with possible carriers
can only be prevented by avoiding con-
gregations of people.

KEYSTONE CLUB
ADVOCATES A
BIG CLEANUP
Road Side Lunch Stands And
Filling Stations Consid-
cred Unsanitary

A general cleanup of roadside
lunch stands and filling station wash
rooms is advocated by the Keystone
Automobile Club of Maryland, on the
basis of complaints Of members that
many of these places are not only un-
attractive but dirty and unsanitary.
"From our own observation" said
Albert E. Buckley, Manager of the
Club, "these complaints are entirely
justified. There are, of course, many
well-conducted roadside stands of
spick-and-span appearance, whose own
ers take pride in making them attrac-
tive to travellers. Others, however,
have little to recommend them.
Motorists maintain they have a
right to expect cleanliness in lunch
stands and Mushrooms, and many have
told US that they have adopted the
practice of walking out without maxi
ing any purchases when they find the
places do not conform to ordinary
standards of sanitation.
cit is emphasized that without the
patronage of the motoring public the
wayside stands could not exist, and,
further, that those making a special
point Of keeping their places clean
command a greater volume of bust
ness.
Motorists are particularly offened
by the condition Of many Mushrooms,
and the loss of many thousands of dol
lars in business is a penalty proprie-
tors of such places are paying for
their failure to observe the rules Of
cleanliness"

being all necessary to win-Von
Cramm did not put forth his best eff
forts.
The Americans now face England
for possession of the coveted cup. In
this series, Allison will probably not
play in singles, his place being taken
by Sydney Wood; Bulge playing the
other singles; Van Ryn and Allison
appearing in doubles.
In Perry and Austin, England has
two wonderful racquet wielders, Perry
being placed at the top of all play
ers. At Wimbledon, Bulge defeated
Austin and many think he can 90 1t
again. and that Woods, also can take
the Englishman's measure. Inese
two victories with win in the doubles
would bring the cup home after an
absence of six years. The games will
be played next week, and their result
is watched with eager interest.
In base ball, the two New York
teams, after having acquired COM
Portable lead, are now hard pressed
by st. Louis, in the National; and by
Detroit, in the American. This
weeks play will probably decide the
winners. Competent judges are rely
ing upon the pitching ability OF the
New York clubs to bring them
through, tho st. Louis, with the two
Deans is a formidable contender on
the National circuit.
In Mickey Cochrane, the Detroit
team has a wonderful leader, capable
of arousing the fighting spirit OF his
men, and his combination is going
to be hard to down. With such pitch
ers as Hubbell, Schumacher, Parmalee,
Fitzimmons, the New York Nationals
seem to be able to hold their own,
even against such mighty hurlers as
the Dean Brothers. It now looks like
Detroit in the American League and
New York in the National.

Indirect contact through the COM
mon drinking cup and tableware can
be ninimized by sterilization Of such
through boiling or emersion in a chlor-
inc solution. Operators of public food
and drink handling establishments,
even though they should at all times,
are at this time directed to sterilize
all dishes and tableware between use.
The public is urged to use the paper
cup at the soda water fountain.
Although there are possibilities of
the occurrence of isolated, cases it is
felt that there is little likelihood of an
outbreak in civil life.

u. S. TENNIS
EXPERTS NOW
in ENGLAND
Earned Right To Challenge For
Davis Cup By Beating Out
German Players
DAVIS CUP CONTESTS
STAGED NEXT WEEK

The game of tennis seems to be
uppermost at present in the minds of
the sport-loving world, unless the
close race now being run in the two
major league baseball circuits, can be
considered also as occupying the spot
light.
"Uncle Sans" tennis players have
been in England for some time, where
they took part in the tournament at
Wimbledon. Here they got as far as
the semi-finals, and, at this point,
were shut out by the splendid work
of the German, Won Cramm. Donald
Bulge, the youthful Californian, dis
posed of the crack English player, but
could not master the German.
Helen Wills Moody, however, came
through brilliantly, after two-years'
ay-off, and CAPTURED the women's
singles championship, defeating Helen
Jacobs for the honor. The public is
now awaiting the decision of Mrs.
Moody as to whether she will rest on
her Wimbledon honors or take part
in the Forest Hills tournament in this
country. Opinion is about equally
divided as to what she may decide to
do.
From the Wimbledon tournament
the United States players passed into
the zone elimination contests for the
Davis cup. To become the challenger
of England for the cup the Americans
had to dispose of the redoubtable Ger
mans.
The games were completed on We'd
nesday last, with the Americans win
ming four of the five contests. Bulge
disposed of Henkel; Allison was de-
other singles; Van Ryan and Allison
Allison, defeated the German doubles;
Allison beat Henkel; and Bulge con-
quered Won Cramm. With regards to
the last named victory, it is thought
that since the game was nothing more
than an exhibition-three out of five

Modernising of Old Canal
To Sape Shippers Vast Sums
Chesapeake and Dela,care Operations
Soon to Be Under Way With
S5.IO7, 900 Initial Allotment.

The present channel is IL feet deep
and 90 feet wide. The new canal will
be 27 feet deep. accommodating 96
per cent of the vessels whose iternaries
permit use of the canal, and will be
$50 feet wide. In widening the chan
mel, it will be possible to straighten
out some of the turns in the present
waterway.
Original surveys of the canal were
made in 1764. and Benjamin Frank
lin and George Washington were
among the first interested. Construc-
ton of 10-foot canal with locks was
begun in 1925, when the country was
in the grasp of the canal-building
craze. Money for the first construc-
ton was put up by Maryland. Penn
sylvania, Delaware, the Federal Gov
ernment and private individuals.
Operated 80 Years.
The canal was operated in its first
form for go years. until it was bought
in 1919 by the Federal Government,
which dredged it to II feet and
made it a sea-level channel. 1t is
now a link in the inland coastal
waterway which extends, with few
gaps. from New York to the Texas
coast.
Conversion of the canal will bene-
fit not only the steamship operators,
Pouder declares, but shippers through
out the country as well. By saving
one days operating costs per trip for
ships which use it, an aggregate saw
ing of more than sl,O00.000 per year
may be made. At this rate the canal
should pay for itself in IA years.

Money savings and greater con-
venience to inland shippers, as we'll
as quicker transportation between
American ports, will be he result.
The canal is the old Chesapeake
& Delaware, now confined to carry
ing pleasure boats and some small
commercial craft. Dry excavations
of the improved canal are expected
to start within few weeks, and the
wet excavations will follow a little
later. An initial allotment of S5,l07.-

S13,027,000 in sight. A new rivers
and harbors bill, authorizing the full
project. was passed by Congress. in
August.
Saving on One Trip.
One instance of saving in time and
money through use of the improved
canal lies in a trip to Philadelphia.
The saving on this passage would be
slightly over one full day, which
means $3.50 for the average ship.
