THE _EVENING DIPHTHERIA CASE [N BROWN SCHOOL Tests to Discover “Carriers” Ordered as Seven Pupils Are Found Il An outbreak of diphtheria among puplls of the Klizabeth V. Brown School in Chevy Chase caused Dis- trict Health Officer William C. Fowler today to order the medical inspection force to take cultures of every child at the school as a precautionary measure, < Seven cases of the disease have been discovered at the school. One of them s regarded as ‘“doubtful.” Three of the ehildren live in the Dis- trict and the other four in Mary- land. The majority of the cases were found in the fourth grade, although an eighth grade girl is among those belleved to have the disease. A culture showed her to be a ‘“‘carrier.’” While Dr. Fowler and school au- thorities are not unduly alarmed over the situation, parents of children at- tending the school, it was said, have demanded that school officials’ close the bullding. The health officer and Acting Asst. Supt. of Schools Stephen E. Kramer, however, belfeve that such drastic action {s unnecessary. Mr. Kramer pointed out that there is more likelthood of spreading the dis ease by closing the school than by keeping the children in their class- rooms, where medical experts can scover the carriers through the use of cultures. The cause of the spread of the dis ease at the school has not been de- termined, Kramer said, but a pre- liminary investigation resulted in the shutting off of a driuking fountain which had a lower water pressure be- {hind it, forcing the children to put their mouths on the nozzle “bubbler” when drinking. Dr. Fowler explained that diphtheria is not as difficult to control as some other contagious diseases, hecause cultures of the throat determine whether a person is a carrier or not A “carrler,” he said, is a person wha of the {has the diphtheria germ in the throat but who s not ill 'TENLEYTOWN STATION IS MADE A PRECINCT Order Former Branch to Act Independently.

More than 1,000 new plants will be put into the show tonight to replace | some of the spectmens that have aged and withered, so that Saturday and Sunday the show will be better than ever.

EXPERIMENT FARM Fine Arts Commission Urged Taking of Land to Beautify Virginia Appro: ach to Memorial Bridge as Part of Improvement Plan. Abolishment of the Arlington Ex perimental Farm across the Highway Bridge in Virginia and its conversion into a par to fit into the broad scheme for beautifying the approaches to the new Memorial Bridge has aroused serious objections from Sec. retary of Agriculture Jardine. The general plans for the improvement of the area surrounding the Virginia approaches to the Memorial Bridge, prepared by engineer officers in charge of the projects, have been ap proved by the Fine Arts Commission. Secretary of War Davis has taken a strong personal interest in the project and recently made un inspec- tion of the territory. Though approv ing the plans generally, he has with held final action in the matter be- cause of the stand of the Department of Agriculture and also because the execution of the profect requires spe- clal authorization by Congress. Secretury Jardine takes the view that sbandonment of the experimental farm will mean virtual waste of 30 years of concentrated effort and pro- ductivity The experimental farm covers an arew of about 330 acres and is part of the orfginal Arlington estate taken over by the Government in the early 60s. It is separated from the high ction, comprising the cemetery, by the old turnpike, extending from Rosslyn to Alexandria and now part ly included in the ount Vernc houlevard. act of Congress of April, 190 » entire section south of the reservation und east of that road was transferred from the War to the Department of Agriculty for experiments in va-| rious phases of agriculture | bridge profect in that According to those in charge, highly important results in the study and de- velopment of plant life have been achleved during the 23 years the work has been in progress. Much of that work would be wasted, it is claimed, 1 further inroads are made on the pres ent farming area. It is pointed out that a large section of the farm area already has been diverted by special act of Congress for use as the southern approach of the Arlington Memorlal Bridge. On that section will be built the straight boulevard to the Custis Mansion in the cemetery grounds, and the diagonal boulevard around the north wall of the cemetery to connect with the proposed boulevard. For these and other reasons, the Secretary of Agriculture has indicated that he will oppose any plan that involves the transfer of any more of the farming area and the practical loss of th long experimental work of a highly Important character. Part to Be Cemetery. In seeking the farm area for park development, the Fine Arts Commis- sion indicated that portions of it may eventually be needed in the extension of the cemetery proper, and, moreover, that jts use in the development of the vicinity would not be required for two years to come, during which fnterval it 13 assumed that the Agriculture Departient could acqui another tield for {ts ex perimental work How the fssue will be straightened declared doubtful. It is con however, that the Agriculture Department cannot be dislodged from the Arlington Reservation except by special direction of Congress. “KEY” COMMITTEES CONFINEDTOG.0.P.

RUMANIA'S TERMS ONDEBT FORECAST U. S. Expected to Propose Funding on Same Basis as British Settlement. The American Government will probably advance the British basts a8 a proposal for payment of the Ru- manian debt of ahout $46,000,000 to the United States during negotiations now under way. This was learned today as conversa- tions were resumed between the two Eovernments, after being interrupted in order to allow the Americans and Italtans to complete their negotiations which ended successfully vesterday. The first formal session with the Rumantans was held last Monday morning, when the entire Rumanian and American commissions were in session, and opening statements were exchanged. This afternoon representatives of the visiting delegation headed by N Titulesco plan to confer with Secre- tary Winston of the American com- mission in a preliminary informal ses slon. Much ground will be covered in such informal eessions, it is be- lieved, before any meeting of the full commissions will be called. it was Intimated that a meeting of the | until some time next week. Indications were that the veil | secrecy which officials cast over the negotiations with the Italians also will be dropped about the Rumanian con | versatio | It is Lelleved, however, that the American commission will proceed upon its precedent of the British basis, Which in some form or other has been written Into every agreement signed. In the case of Belgium and Italy con cessfons were made In interest rates jon account of the admitted special conditions attaching to the cases of these two, but all other agreements have been substantially *he same as the first, with Great Britain. The Rumanian debt consists of about $23,000,000 cash advances and $13,000,000 sale of war supplies, which with interest, calculated at the rate of G per cent, amounts to about $46,000,- 000 as of last May. ITALIAN DEBT PLAN PLEASES COOLIDGE Considers Generosity of U. S. Commissioners Based on Ability to Pay. President Coolidge is hig! { over the outcome of ment with Italy, intimates who con- | ferred with him this morning said He realizes that the Amerlcan com- missioners have been generous, and that many of the citizens of this coun- try will feel that they have been over- generous, but there is the existing pleased | negotiations were settled strictly upon {in accord with Italy’s ability to pay, |80 far as it can now be ascertained, | he feeis, Also, those friends say the Presi- dent is known to derive considerable | comfort from the knowledge that with this settlement one more com- plicated war problem is erased and at the United States has done much | toward economic stabflization of not y Italy but the whole of Conti | nental Burope. Was Consulted by Commissioners. President Coolidge’s consent to the nal terms was obtained by the Amer- ican members of the commission in ad- vance of their reaching an agreement | with the visiting Italians. The Presi- ident was kept well advised of the | progress of the negotiations from the | moment they were open until the agreement was reached. It is understood that the President feels very confident that when the mitted to Congress for ratification | they will receive favorable action. The | President attaches no importance to claims being made that the terms are too liberal and that Congress will vote its disapproval. Respecting this prediction, the White House assumes the attitude that the settlement has been reached after caretul deliberation and terms have been while liberal, are based entirely upon that natfon’s ability to pay. That was | the outstanding feature of the policy |adopted by this administration for terms of settlement of all the debtor nations. Besides this, the United States, through this settlement, will recelve from Italy the original prin- cipal, which in round fgures is slightly in excess of $1,640,000,000, with accrued interest aniounting to approximately £700,000,000. Decision ‘“as Unanimous. As to the claims being made in cer- tain_quarters that the settlement will not be ratified by Congress because of the liberality on the part of the Amer. ican Government, th. White House takes the position that inasmuch as the seven members of the American commisson were unanimous in the terms agreed upon, that there was complete unity and full accord, should have its due influence when the time for ratification comes. Moreover, if Congress should turn down the agreement, the White House points out that Italy would be placed in a difficult position if it again cared to reopen negotiations after the commis- sion created by Congress had unani- mously agreed to terms which they thought were just. Assoclates of the President said to- day that_there is no reason to feel concerned about the outcome of this settlement when it reaches Congress for ratification. It was intimated that the President already has re- ceived informal assurances that the settlement would be approved if the terms were based strictly upon Italy’'s ability to pay. The same holds good in the case of the settle- ment of the Belgium debt. May Prompt France to Act. There was a feeling among asso- cltes of the President at the White House today that Italy's success in obtaining such generous terms from the United States will cause France, the only important na- tion owing us money that has not yet funded its debt, to do some deep thinking. The impression is that the Italian settlement will prompt France to lose little time in making over- tures to this country to reopen negotiations. The White House already has been advised that the agreement reached regarding the Itallan debt will serve to enhance that nation's credit in the TUnited States in the matter of ne- gotlating private loans here.

In the British agreement it is provided that principal i yay nts may be postponed for two | vears, but must be paid on the third year, including accrued interest. In the [taiian agreement somewhat more {lenient termns were granted. Payments of principal may be postponed for two yvears and may be paid in the third and fourth year, with interest at 41 per cent. “The basis of settlement.” said the formal announcement, “has been re payment of principal in full and pay- ment of interest in accordance with the capacity of Italy to pa; The commiseion an nounced it h 1de a ‘‘most exhaus tive examination of Italy's fiscal and | economic situation.” adding: “Italy i poor in natural resources.

Recognition has been given to the present difficult situation and confi- dence has been shown in Italy's fu- jture. The settlement as finally made is lurger than we thought in the begin- ning we could agree to. Italy has, however, always met her international obligations. She has done so in this case. The settlement is a long step {toward the restoration of economic peace in Europe. | Italy having reached an agreement | for funding her debt, the belfef was | held in Washington today that France, the only remaining debtor owing America’ more than a billlon dollars, will now surely make another at tempt at settlement soon, following the recent Calillaux fiasco. Although French official circles had repeatedly stated that another mis- sion would come to the United States to take up the negotiations where Calllaux left off, last month, there had been persistent reports to the ef- fect that France was watching closely the outcome of the Itallan negotia- tions, with the hope that if Italy failed to fund, then France might post- vone still further any attempts to come to a settlement with the United States. French comment on the Italian ne- gotiations during their progress here was at times notably pessimistie as to Italy's hopes for settlement. This comment was noted by officlals here with some_concern. There iwere re. ports in Washington that already there had been talk of the possibili- tles of an international conference in Europe to consider the question of interallied debts, in case Italy failed to fund. France, it was said, would in all probability be glad to postpone further attempts to settle her debt with this Government, in order to see what the possibilities wosd be in an international conferance. th Belglum to the north and Italy to the south of France, however, having both reached agreements with the United States subject to ap- proval of Parliaments and the Amerl. i can Congress, it was freely predicted today that France would find it dis tinctly to her advantage, especially in view of the recent disastrous fall of the franc, to make every effort to clear up the debt to America, as a major *vuu ng her financial house in ords from sixth to fifteenth year, $14,000,000 | brought | we have been with them, but I know | evident desire to do justice to Italy | BIGLOANS TOITALY ' TOFOLLOW PACT U.
