NEW YORK, January 20.—Asserting that repudiation of war debts is “un- thinkable and cancellation or revision impossible,” Bainbridge Colby, former Secretary of State, last night urged that Americans attack the problem from new Kitten on His Chest Saves Sleeping Man From Mad Tarantula By the Associated Press. SAN YSIDRO, Calif., January 20—S. C. “Scotty” MacIntosh, retired animal trainer, was awakened by a commotion on his bed. In the dim light he saw his pet kitten fighting a hopping- mad tarantula on his chest. The tarantula leaped toward the kitten and MacIntosh’s face. The kitten side stepped and, in the nick of time, reached out its paw to sand the deadly spider rolling. Maclntosh ran to a doctor, but he had not been bitten. The kitten had no battle scars. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., FRIDAY, EINSTEIN PROPOSES WORLD AID GROUP Urges Committee of 25 Best Minds to Help Solve Grave Problems By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, January 20.—A plan evolved by Prof. Albert Einstein for “an International Committee of the 25 greatest minds of the world to function in the best interests of mankind” was sketched here yesterday by Jacob Landau of New York, managing direc- tor of the Jewish Telegraph Agency, & press association. Landau said the noted savant, now engaged in scientific study at Pasadena, described the plan in & special intef- “As Dr. Einstein conceives it,” Landsu sald, “the committee will raise its voice whenever mankind is confronted with grave problems. It will take action whenever the ge-u of the world is jeopardized or if acts of injustice have been committed.” 8ix of the committee, Landau went on, will be selected from the United States and the strictest selective tests will be applied in forming the entire group. “Invifations are to be issued only to intellectuals of the highest order.” he explained. e members must be powerful personalities of internation: salients in an address before the an- nual banguet of the National Retail Dry “There is every evidence,” he said, tion not to repay us the money we have loaned them. * * * No request is made for help or forbearance which a creditor might naturally be asked to extend a debtor. * * * Not in that spirit have our debtors approached us. On the contrary, it has been with un- concealed animosity towajd the obliga- tion itself. * * * I think I may say truthfully that this attitude has been the chief source of the difficulties which, in such thick cluster, have grown up laraund the subject of debts in gen- eral. “Much has been said of the attitude of Europe to the debts. Too little has been said of the attitude of the United States.” = Continuing in the same vein, he said later: “Our debtors are by no means as resourceless as they would have us be- lieve. Given the will to pay, the way can always be found.” Asserting that either repudiation or remission of debts would be no solu- tion, he said settlement was a “task for good faith and good will—stronger forces than evasion and default.” Mr. Colby said cancellation would have highly detrimental effects on American business and would in reality Just 40 Fine All-Wool BLANKETS $269 EACH Size 70 x 80 inches in pastel colors of rose, blue, peach, orchid.
