FOR DEBTS STUDY WITH PRESIDENT Notifies Hoover by Phone He Will Be Here at 3:30 in Afternoon and Go to White| House at Once. CHIEF EXECUTIVE SEEKS COMMISSION REVIVAL QOongress Expected to Approve| Proposal for Reconsideration of E Whole Problem on Basis of European Nations' Ability to Pay—Envoys Notified. President-elect Roosevelt today fnformed President Hoover by long-distance telephone that he would arrive at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday and would go directly to the ‘White House for a discussion of war debt problems. The call from Albany reached the White House about 12:45 p.m. Only a short while before, the French and Belgian Ambassadors had been informed at the State Department that this Govern- ment was not ready to reply to the petitions from their govern- ments looking toward extension of the moratorium and further debt revision. Mr. Hoover spoke with his suc- cessor-elect from his desk in the executive offices. It-is planned that they will confer on debts, world armaments and economic affairs in the executives offices. The parley, however, might ex- tend into conversation in the Lincoln study on the second floor of the White House proper. Although no definite informa- tion was available, a White House secretary said he did not believe the conference would last many | hours. d Meanwhile if was belleved today in Con; the revivil of the World War Foreign Debt Commission to deal with the pleas of those countries which con- sider that they can no longer meet their obligations foward the Unit States. e President Hoover discussed the Brit- ish French and Belgian notes yester- day with Secretary of State Stimson and Assistant Secretary Harvey Bundy for several hours. The results of their conversations are being kept strictly et, but in congressional quarters it belleved that since Gov. Roosevelt cannot assume any. responsibility on the debt question and since the unani- s opinion of the Senate and the se is that debts should not be can- geled or revived, unless the debtor courntries can offer a substantial coun- terpart for any advantages offered them by the United States, the President can hold no other hopes to the foreign tors except to bring the whole mat- before the Congress. In well informed quarters it is be- Yeved that Congress will not refuse this time to agree to the revival of the gommission to investigate the pleas of the individual debtor countries. Last session such a proposal of the President Was turned down merely because, it is said, there had been no official request from any foreign country to investi- gate their capacity to pay. The situa- tlon has changed since, because there are concrete facts on which the Presi- dent can base his recommendation. Payment Delay Asked. Great Britain, France and Belgium thave officially requested the American | Qovernment to postpone the payment | ©of the installment due on December 15. It is true that they have not based their request on the inability to pay, ‘but merely on the Hoover moratorium of June last and on the President’s con- wversations with former Premier Laval of Prance. But still, it is believed that their notes together with a clear ex- ition on the part of the President of likely calamity which might follow s defaulting of those nations and the harm to international trade of the gold | transfer from Europe to America, will induce the Congress this time to con- sider the re-creation of the debt com- mission In diplomatic quarters it is seriously doubted whether such a move alone| would help the situation much.

By the Associated Press Issuance of a presidential warrant for the extradition of Samuel Insull, sr., from Greece seemed near today with the arrival of necessary papers in the case from Gov.

Since then the treaty has been rati- fied and Insull placed under arrest by Greek authorities. The 73-year-old tive has retained counsel in an ort to prevent his extradition. U. S. to Supervise Hazardous Flights To Reduce Risks i [Proper Equipment and Trained Pilots to Be Required Hereafter. By the Associated Press. Adventurous airmen planning hazard- ous flights to foreign lands will have to pass strict Government scrutiny in the future and may be denied permis- sion if the undertaking seems too risky. ! The Aeronautics Branch of the Com- merce Department served notice today that it will exercise closer supervision over preparations for such flights by Americans than it has in the past. Clarence M. Young, Assistant Secre- tary of Commerce for Aeronautics, said the action would be taken under an amendment to the air commerce regula- tions, which requires the owner or pilot to secure authorization from the de- | partment for foreign flight except on regularly scheduled operations. Young said the amendment was de- signed to _discourage inexperienced pilots and fhadequately equipped air-| craft from attempting transoceanic flights. The department heretofore has kept a close watch on such flights but has not officially intervened in the preparations. ARMS CONGESSION TO REICH PROPOSED Would Be Given Same Kind as Other Nations Under British Plan. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, November 17.—The British foreign secretary, Sir John Simon, pro- posed to the World Disarmament Con- ference today that the German demand for arms equality be satisfied by al- lowing the Reich to have the same kind of armaments as other nations. ‘The British government aiso pro- posed as a part of a scheme to solve the equality problem that all the Euro- pean states join in a solemn affirmation that under no circumstances will they attempt to resolve any present or fu- ture differences among them by force. Sir John declared the limitation of Germany's armaments should be con- tained in the same disarmament con- vention which defines }imitations on the armaments of others. This limitation on Germany, he said, £5dbe subject to e same et of revision as was the case in other coun- tries. - Maximum Disafming Seught. 5 “The object of the Disarmament Con- erence,’” bout~the agreed upon— not to authorize in the name of equalit; increased armed st practice of the principle of equality can- not be achieved all at once.” The Italian delegate announced Italy was _support! the British ' stand on equality, and President Arthur Hender- son grll&ed the suggestion, expressing the hope Germany would soon rejoin the_conference. The French delegate, Rene Massigli, then announced France stood by its | proposals of Monday for conscript armies in Europe and an equality of basis in armaments. Silent on French Plan. Sir John did not treat on the French plan for disarmament and security as it had been reported he would, dismiss- ing the point with the assertion that the idea would require long study. In acknowledging Germany's right to the same kind of armaments as others have, Sir John said he was speaking of kinds of arms and not amounts, for “this latter question must be separately and subsequently treated.” o The British delegate then proceeded to link his suggestion as to Germany with general arms reduction proposals which in the main were like those Great Britain already had advanced. American official gquarters gave the opinion that the British proposals ought to be sufficient to prepare the way for Germany's return to the con- ference if the Germans sincerely wish | a disarmament agreement.

VON PAPEN CABINET RESIGNS IN BODY AS OPPOSITION: GROWS Only Two Small Parties in Reichstag Vote to Support Junker Ministry. DR. HEINRICH SCHNEE MAY BECOME NEW CHANCELLOR Action Follows Day of “Rumors That Government Would Step Out of Office. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, November 17.—The entire German cabinet resigned today and the resignation was accepted by Pfesident von Hindenburg. The resignation was not unexpected. All day reports had circulated that the chancellor would step out, perhaps taking the whole cabinet with him. Opposition Too Great. At the conclusion of a cabinet meet- ing this morning it was sald that no decision on the advisability of resign- ing had been reached, but early this afternoon the chancellor called upon the President and it was expected that he would indicate his willingness to retire. Opposition by all but two small parties in the Reichstag dictated the retirement of this government. Adolf Hitler's: National Socialists, the strongest party in the opposition, never have supported Von Papen’s admin- istration. The Centrists, the Bavarians and all others except the Nationalists and the Populists have announced their oppo- sition_since the last Reichstag elec- tion. That left the chancellor with only 10 per cent of the new Reichstag. Schnee Mentioned. Immediately speculation began as to the selection of a successor. One of the names most frequently mentioned was thats of Dr. Heinrich Schnee, who was in the colonial service before the war and recently retured from the Far East where he served as the German member of the Lytton Commission investigating the situation there for the League of Nations. Recently Dr. Schnee resigned from the People's party, urging that the Na- tional Socialists be given an opportunity to participate én the government. An official communique issued after the resignation was announced sald the t had retired because “it wishes clear the way for the President so hat he, as the leader of the nation and with the high sauthority of his office, may bring about the consolida- tion of all truly national forces which alone can assure Germany's future.” Dissolved Reichstag Twice, - The Von Papen cabinet, however, will continue o conduct the nation's aftairs until the President appoints & new chancellor. The opposition contended that since Von Papen's support so clearly had evaporated his place should be filled with a man who could command the confidence of all political factions, preferably one known abroad as well as at_home. The one alternative to resignation, that of another dissolution of -the Reichstag and resumption of govern- ment by decree, had become impos- sible. Twice Chancellor Jon Papen dis- solved the Reichstag and in each Buc- ceeding election the opposition returned stronger than ever. The “shadow cabinet” put together by gossip during the past few days, when it became increasingly apparent that Chancellor von Papen was slipping, lines up something like this: “Shadow Cabinet.” Dr. Schnee, chancellor; Dr. Heinrich Bruening, the former chancellor, foreign minister; Baron von Gayl or Wilhelm Frick, the National Socialist, minister of the interior; Gregcr Strasser, another Nazi, minister of labor; Franz Seldte, the Steel Helmet chief, minister of pub- lic works, and Gen. Kurt von Scleicher, Von Papen’s minister of defense, re- maining in that poct. Others mentioned as possibilities for the chancellcrship were Franz Bracht, federal commissioner for Prussia; Karl Goerdeler, mayor of Leipzig; Hjalmar Schact, former head of the Reichsbank; Adam Stegerwald, Gregor Strasser, Baron von Gayl and Gen. von Schleicher. The Nazi newspapers have insisted that the post be given to Hitler, their chief. The new Reichstag, elected last month, with the National Socialists still in the majority, convenes on De- cember 6. President von Hindenburg has not in- dicated his attitude toward the pos- sibility of appointing Hitler, but the Nazi chief served notice on Chancellor von Papen yesterday that there could be no direct dealings between them and that he would visit the President to talk things over only if he were as- sured beforehand that Herr von Papen would not be there. MRS. ROOSEVELT | FOR TRIP TO SEE NEW GRANDSON By the Associated Press. * NEW YORK, November 17.—On balf | an hour’s notice and with $10 borrowed | from a Secret Service man assigned to guard her husband, the President-elect | of the United States, Mrs. Pranklin D. | Roosevelt left Albany for New York early today to greet her fourth grand- child on his arrival in the world. The baby, son of Elliott Roosevelt, | second son of Gov. and Mrs. Roosevelt, was born shortly before his grand- mother arrived. He is an eight-pound boy, and both he and his mother are doing nicely, Mrs. Roosevelt said. For some weeks there has been a standing order at the executive man- sion that any long-distance call for Mrs. Rocsevelt, day or night, was to be put through immediately. “The State grooper, on guard down- | stairs ' with the secret service man, | called me at 2:45 this morning,” she said today. “There was a train leav- ing at 3:18.

I was afraid Franklin had gone back to sleep and didn’t want to bother him, so I said to the trooper and the secret service man: “‘Has either of you got $10?" “They both went through their pock- ets, the secret service man gave me $10, and I caught the train. ‘I got into New York at 6:30, and the doctor met me in the hall and said the baby was here. He’s a belu“-' ful little boy and everything is alright.” Mrs. Roosevelt, who has had consid- erable experience at nursing, remained with her daughter-in-law, the former Betty Donner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, willlam H. Donner of Villa Nova, Pa., while the nurse went out to break- fast. she will return to Albany to- night or tomorrow morning. | “A funny thing happened,” she said. “At 8 o'clock I called the mansion, re- versing the charges, to tell Franklin the baby was here. The butler, una- ware of the fact that I had left, thought some one was trying to put mflfu over on him and refused to accept the dressed and caught the train. » cally” ONLY THING HE Lo\.fi; 1“%‘3:.\_‘&1 < AR NN LMW N\ \ Al \ W\ | N N \' N \ N WHILE FREEZES By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, November 17.— One thousand pickets today success- fully blocked attempts of the Peabody Coal Co. to open the Cora mine near here, mocked highway police when they threw tear gas bombs at them, and severely beat two miners who attempted to pass their lines. William Becraft, 31, end his step- father, Hector Collard, 48, both United Co., were pulled from their automobile and slugged over the head. They drove into the crowd, but were stopped by pickets who jumped on the rum board and clubbed them. Fifteen deputies from the sherifl’s office and twenty-five State highway police stood by, but were apparently | powerless in the face of the huge gath- ering. They attempted to clear a way through the crowd by throwing tear- gas bombs, but gave it up when they saw the affected miners held in their rhm by the push of the men behind em. It was directly after the bombs were thrown that the attack on the two miners took place. Anticipating the need for increased guard duty, Sheriff Beynon conferred with Adjt. Gen. Carlos E. Black and the head of the highway police. It was de- cided to leave the work to the highway police and the sheriff's office, who gave orders for additional policemen from other districts and added deputies.

ON TANAIANY R Sounds Call to Crusade Against “Waste, Extrava- gance and Abuses.” By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 17.—Acting Mayor Joseph V. McKee, breaking openly with Tammany Hall, has sound- ed a summons to a crusade against what he calls waste, extravagance and abuses in the city government. Bursting like a shell filled with po- litical TNT, the Bronx Democrat’s de- nunciafion of the forces in control of the city government was discussed ex- citedly throughout the city today. Rising late last night before bankers, merchants and business men at a din- ner, McKee, who has advocated a policy voice trem! with emotion that cit- " of present conditions “and they are not going to allow those things to continue.” He did not, however, mention Tammany by name. His speech, wholly unexpected, was seen by political observers as fore- shadowing a possible titanic struggle at next year's mayoral election to wrest the city government from Tammany and allies, with McKee perhaps leading the assault. McKee, who was professor of Latin and Greek before he entered politics, moved from the presidency of the Board of Aldermen to the mayoralty when James J. Walker resigned. A non-Tammany Democrat, he is a mem- ber of the Bronx organization headed by Edward J. Flynn, long an active sul rter of Gov. Franklin D. Roose- velt. Outvoted by Tammany. Almost from the outset, McKee found himself outvoted in the Board of Esti- mate on many questions by a bloc con- sisting largely of Tammany men. When time came to select a successor io ‘Walker, Surrogate John P. O'Brien, a ‘Tammany man, was chosen and elected. About 135,000 people, however, wrote in McKee's name on the ballot, al- !hol:;l(g;l they spelled it 78 different ways. “This year something happened in New York City,” said McKee at last night’s dinner, which was held by the (Continued on Page 2, Column 1.) - ATUALSTEPHADE 10 LEGALZE BEER Parley to Pave Way for Re- porting Out Bill Held by Legislators.

HOUSE COMMITTEE YET TO DECIDE POLICY Chairman Byrns to Call Conference of Leaders to Fix Rule for All Bills. ‘The Bureau of the Budget is provid- ing for continuation of all provisions of the economy act, including the 84 per cent pay cut and ban on leave, in appropriations for Government estab- lishments for the next fiscal year, it became known today. Originally, estimates were submitted to the Budget Bureau on the basis that prevailed up to the start of the present fiscal year, but a few days ago, it was said, the bureau made known that these estimates would be shaved 8%, per cent and that all other features of the economy act would be projected into the budgets for the forthcoming fiscal year. This, of course, will do away with the impounding clause of the economy act, as the Government estab- lishments will not get the money to impound under the bureau's proposal. At the same time, however, it was said no policy has been agreed upon by the House Apgcroprhuons Committee. Yesterday a subcommittee of this com- mittee started hearings on the first of the large appropriation measures, that for Treasury-Post ice, heard from Postmaster General Brown the recommendation that the 8 1-3 per cent pay cut be continued.

He said continuation of the law “would be e:“n economic blunder of far- reaching consequences.” In administration quarters acquainted with the fiscal outlook, it was said the deficit for the year would not be so bad, but no figure was given as to the probable amount. Although no official information was given for quotation, it was said that the admihistration had told Congress dur- ing the last session that expenditures must be cut $350,000,000 below the bud- get figures and that expenditures which had been authorized by Congress would cause the expenditure of more than President Hoover’s original budget sub- mitted last December. B The recommendations made last Win- ter for reductions followed the largest expenditures in the history cf the Na- tion in peace times, with the 1932 fiscal year ending with a deficit of nearly $3,000,000,000 after expenditures had totaled - $5,000,000,000. Seek New Tax Sources. President Hoover's budget estimates submitted last year totaled $4,112,900,- 00. The administration statement on the situation followed assertions by mem- bers of Ccngress of their intention of seeking new tax sources. It was said that the new taxes were bound to be ineffective so far as full yleld is concerned until the fiscal year 1934 and that members of Congress apparently had failed to take into con- sideration the fact that income taxes will be collected in March for the 1932 calendar year and will effect a reduc- ticn in the deficit. No Government official has estimated how much income tax will be collected in the March payments, but the earlier hopes were that they would run $300,- 000,000 or more. The new excise taxes have been siow have sald—to the fact that many peo- ple purc] large amounts of goods before the law went into effect last June, and that the Government has as yet failed to obtain the full measure of return from the levies.
