 Dollar exchange maneuvers might involve purchase by the Unised States of British-owned American securities. Another method of fur nishing Britain with dollars might involve use of the $2,0o0,OO0,000 stab- ilization fund to purchase pounds, if Congress paproved.
 Outright Gifts Plan.
 The proposal for outright gifts to Britain was made here over the weekend by Ali M. Landon, 1886 Republican presidential candidate It was endorsed yesterday by Mrs. Roosevelt. Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O., proposed secured loans, instead, explaining that Great Britain has sufficient assets here to provide sat- isfactory collateral. But he said outright gifts would be preferable to unsecured loans. Great Britain borrowed without security during the World War and now is in default of more than $, ,000 100000 owed to the United States Treasury. Although there is active agitation for repeal of the Johnson act, which prohibits private individuals or corporations to lend to defaulter, there is not much evidence that anyone expects pri- vate investors or banks would be willing to advance large sums to Great Britain. If money goes abroad it probably will be govern ment money.

Eight Persons Killed
 In Cincinnati Blast
tContinued from Page 1.)

The two three-story brick build ings had dry goods stores on the ground floor. It was near a neigh bodhood market district.
 Kaufman and Koehnke, when they first arrived, saw no flames but heard "a heavy cracking sound Telegraph poles for half block away were bowled over and many wires were down.
 Three fire alarms called out most of the city's fire-fighting equip ment.
 The blast hurled many of the sleeping tenants two and three sto- ries to the ground in a torrent of falling wreckage. The walls of a market house across the street were peppered with debris shot out by the explosion. Telephone and elec- tricity poles were snapped off and communications in the neighbor- hood were disrupted.
 Raymond Roy, father of Patsy stumbled out of the ruins right after her and implored rescuers to get Bessie, his wife.
 T held her head as long as l could but she was pinned to the bed," he said. "Please get her"
 Mrs. Roy was extricated 30 min utes later. She and her husband and their four children had a hap py reunion in hospital emergency ward. None was hurt badly and their escape from falling building joists was described by witnesses as Gan act of God.'
 Lillian Schnetzer, 15, who also was rescued soon after the explosion said she pulled her sister, Virginia 6, through some boards.
 T could hear my parents scream ing but I could not reach them. It was awful" he said.
 Patrolmen Tom Kaufman and Louis Koehnke were two of the first persons to reach the scene.
 "When we got there, the two buildings had just tumbled down. Kaufman said. "The joints from upper floors had fallen in such a way as to make a tunnel over one hallway to the upper floor.
 "This certainly was an act of Goo for out of this crushed doorway came woman and small gir. groping their way to the street. ] learned they were members of the Roy family"
 Cranes were used to remove wreck age. Bremen tried to dig tunnels to reach the persons still trapped.

LIFE SENTENCES
 FOR TWO KILLERS
Father of One Slayer Was Victim in Case-Killed
 By Dynamite

Willimantic, Conn, December IT. = (UP) = Superior Court Judge Ernest c. Simpson today imposed life sentences today upon Charles s. Garvin, 58, and John Kszyrniet- Xii, 18, for the dynamite killing of Garvin's 84-year-old father last September.
 George H. Garvin was killed as he sat in his sons automobile listen- ing to news broadcast over the radio.
 A grand jury indicated the son and Kszmietki on charges of first degree murder. To day they entered a guilty plea to a second degree mur- der charge.
 The staying was attributed to a family quarrel over an $8O,00O est tate left by an uncle of the accused man, Charles E. Garvin, a retired paper manufacturer who died last February. Both of the Garvins were executors of the estate and were named in civil action charg- ing they had misappropriated $43, ,000 in stock.
 The younger Garvin, police said had vainly tried to persuade his father to testify that the stock was given him as gift.
 Authorities said that two murder attempts had been made but the first one failed when the wiring attached to several sticks of dyni- mite placed in the car proved faulty

 operation, one in front of the post office on Grand street, the other oposite the east end of the Green, on North Main street.
 The locations of none of the 665 meter standards placed last week will not be changed, according to Superintendent Roach. Even on narrow streets like Center street, where the meters are to be almost halfway across the sidewalk, no changes can be made he said, be- cause of insurance company re- qujrements as to the distance of the devices from the curb. There have been complaints that the meters will create hazard for pedestrians particularly on streets with narrow sidewalks.
 The meters will be tested for a trial period before they are official ly accepted by the city. Superintendent Roach said that "a god deal of leeway" will be given motorists during the early period of meter operation, to allow them time to accustom themselves to the regu- lations. Thereafter he said, the reg ulations will be strictly enforced.

President Undecided
 Upon British Help

aid was revealed yesterday-t day a semi-annual installment of the British World War debt was due. The State Department revealed late last night that Great Britain again had notified this country it would not be able to meet that payment of more than SIPS, 100000.
 The twin problems of defense pro- duction and greater short-of war aid to Great Britain are pressing for presidential action as Mr. Roose- welt continues the series of confer enceS which began yesterday with Undersecretary of State Sumner WelleS, Secretary of State Cordell Hull and Chairman Norman H. Da- wis of the Red Cross. Davis ap- pearance aroused immediate specu- lation regarding possible moves to aid unoccupied France and Spain.
 Public attention gradually is be- 1 ing focused on something unsatis- factory national defense conditions and that is being accompanied by renewed agitation for appointment of William s. Knudsen or some | other outstanding industrialiSt-per- haps leading airplane manufac- | turer-aS chairman of the National Defense Advisory Commission. The suggestion is advanced here among MT. Roosevelt's advisers that a more acceptable move would be to dele- I gate new powers to various individ- uals in the national defense set-up | although a partial further reorgan- ization is not wholly ruled out. It appears that Donald M Nelson, government coordinator of pur- chases and priorities administrator, | probably would figure largely in any plan to increase individual authori- ties.
 Meanwhile, KnudSen, production member of the advisory commission, has taken the initiative in chal- lenging labor, industry and the pub lie with some national defense facts. The latest was publication here of letter addressed to machine tool manufacturers and their employees demanding a speed-up of produc- ton because of the terrible urgency of the situation
 Await Roosevelt Reaction. \ MT. Roosevelt,s reaction is awaited and may come at his regular press conference at D. m today. Word that Knudsen had said airplane pro- duction would be 30 per cent behind schedule On January reached him at the end of the Caribbean cruise from which he returned to the cap- ital yesterday. The consensus here is that early and dramatic White House action may be expected.
 Any change in national defense planning and performance remains within the exclusive jurisdiction of MT. Roosevelt. The United Press was informed that administration advisers were cool to the idea of a national defense chairman, largely on grounds that it would be "his- torically and practically unsound." ]" Their alternative view is that more could be accomplished by delegating wider powers to various individuals charged with defense responsibili- ties.
 All aspects of the situation are be- ing canvassed, evidently for the pur- \ pose of recommendation to MT. Roosevelt. And attention is being given to a proclamation of unlm- ited national emergency as Q feasi- ble method of re-dramatiztng the domestic and world situation for the public and, especially. for labor and l industry. <.

 They hurried to the scene.
 Police Chief Eugene weatherly said there was mo doubt" that gas caused the explosion.
 Housed Six Families
 The buildings were believed to front sectin which was leveled seek beneath. Elsewhere, a child and an elderly person were heard moan ing.
 A tunnel was made under a door, way into the cellar at the rear of the buildings to try to reach one man caught in the cellarway. He was uncovered to his waist but. his legs were pinned under him in such 8 way that he could not be pulled out. He was unconscious and the fire department inhalator squad worked on him while reScuers dug.
 Superintendent Tony Sauer of the city workhouse, about a mile dist ance, took 20 prisoners to the scene to aid in the rescue work.
 A pail of smoke hung over the scene.

this effect from the German side said Shell, naturally were made be- fore the outbreak of the war and therefore before the entry of Italy into the war.
 "From time to time there have been certain indications that the German government might be pre- pared to renew these suggestions These indications have not been of sufficiently authoritative character to justify any statement by His Majesty's government.
 His Majesty's government could never accept any arrangement which would have the effect of perpetuating German domination of Europe and they are resolved and determined to do all in their power to deliver the nations now under the heel of Ger many from that yoke and restore them to their former independence and prosperity"

Nazis i'm silent Raid.
 London, Dec. 17.-(UP)-German airplane, varying the technique of their terror attacks, glided silently down on London during the night from tremendous heights, dropped their bombs and raced of to safety before air raid sirens could be sounded.

 However, all bombs were dropped in the outskirts and people in Gen. tral London heard only distant gun fire.

The neighbors said she sat all day, murmuring funny words and cutting cut paper bracelets. She will oe held at the hospital for a long period. of observation. The doctors are puzzled.
