TO n. Y. MODEL
Claire Coulter Flies to
Marry Barney

NEW YORK, July 12.-The
transcontinental airways today
were winging Claire Coulter, a
model with a way, westward to
Cody, Wyo., where blueblooded j..
Stewart Barney was waiting to
make her his bride. With ma
ternal approval, Barney was ready
to step to the altar with the blonde
eyeful who graces the pages Of
John Powers book as: height, 5
feet 8; weight, 1874; bust, 80;
waist, 25; hips, SO; hose, 10; shoe,
IA; glove, 624; hat, %; eyes, gray.
iSh green.
Barney, under family pressure,
executed a Self-exile to Wyoming
at the ranch of his Stepfather, Col.
Arthur Little, because of his in
fatuation for Claire. But he
couldn't take it. He wired her to
wing westward.
MOTHER APPROVES

Barney, by long distance tele.

vite Claire to tea. She did-and
approved, despite earlier objection
on principle.
Results: Claire checked out of
the Hotel Langdon, and caught the
next plane.
The prospective bridegroom
was married to Katharine Lycur-
gus (Curgie) Winchester in 1926,
and went big-game-hunting in
Africa in 1881 while she divorced
him. A few months later he mar.
ried Mrs. Helen Hackett Keech,
former tennis star. She went to
Reno last year.
COULDN'T FORGET
When Barney found himself in
love with Claire last Spring, his
mother, who controls the millions
he will some day inherit, decided
she wasn't the sort of girl for
him to marry.

away from her for a while?"

So Barney leased his yacht,

MOUNTING DEBT

Neutral Experts Claim It Will Reach Sum of
 ,OOO, 1000,
By PAUL KECSKEMETI United Press Staff COrreSpOnde

\Ou1tcu 1TCSS Otdu CUIECSpUuucHtD
 Berlin, Dec. 16.-(UP) -Nazi Ger many is diverting an ever-increas- ing share of the national income to financing of state projects.
 In addition to an unpublished to- tai debt which neutral experts have estimated as high as $40, ,000, ,000, ,000 two important factors stand out in Nazi finances. They are:-
 1. The total amount of money in circulation in Germany increased 35 per cent in 1888 to $500, ,0O0, ,00O marks ($3, 300 0,000,00O as compared to 7,280, 100000 marks in 1887. This would ordinarily be an inflationary tendency but it is counteracted by other measures.
 2. Taxes, customs duties and so- cial insurance fees levied by the state in 1887 amounted to an esti- mated 23.700, ,OOO marks $9,48O,- 100000 or approximately one-third of the national income. Including central and loca. government opera tionS, it is estimated that at least two thirds of the national income passes through public treasUrieS.
 Paradox Is Presented
 These factors illustrate paradox ical situation in which controlled Nazi economy offsets inf1ationary trends and in which the state is gradually being made the paramount economic factor in Germany.
 Examined more in detail, the Reich's credit policy shows pre- carious balancing of infiationary and defiationary factor.
