AMBASSADOR TO SAIL FOR LONDON TUESDAY Fall of French Cabinet Regarded as Additional Delay to Set- tlement Prospects. Br the Associated Press. Sir Ronald Lindsay has accepted an Invitation from President-elect Roose- velt to visit him at Warm Springs and , arranged to fly from here to Atlanta at once The plane left at 11:20 am, carry- ing the Ambassador for a face-to-face debis talk with the President-elect. When Mr. Roosevelt heard that Sir Ronald was returning to Great Britain Tuesday to confer with his govern- ment on war debts the State Depart- ment was asked by Mr. Roosevelt to extend an invitation to Sir Ronald to Visit him. It was emphasized at the State De- partment that the visit of the envoy is being made with the full approval of this administration; in fact care was taken for the official arrapgements to be made through the regular diplomatic channels. Will Return Tomorrow. There was no inkling given at the State Department as to exactly what Mr. Roosevelt had in mind. He is known to be anticipating talk- ing himself with the British represen- tative who will arrive here early in his administraticn, #nd the impression in interested quarters was that he desired to inaugurate such direct procedure as soon as profitable, and for that reason extended the invitatici to Sir Ronald. Sir Ronald went alone on his visit to President-elect Rcosevelt. Before entering the plane he was asked if he could give any indication of the nature of his forthcoming discussions with the President-elect and replied: ‘There are many things to be gone over.” The British Ambassador expects to return to Washingtcn by train some time tcmorrow Complicates Situation. A new twist was also injected today into the perplexing war debts tangie by | the downall of Joseph Paul-Boncour's French cabinet. News of the prime minister's defeat on fiscal policles was scanned closely in official Washington where prepara- tions are going forward for debts nego- tiations with those foreign nations that paid up In December. France was not one of these. The previous French cabinet headed by Fremier Herriot fell on the debts ques. tion and the $20,000.000 interest pay- ment due last December went unpaid. But the French default has not been red as such by President-elect elt, who has signified his willing- ness to hear the pleas of 211 countries —there were six of them—that met the December installments.

He takes the French non-payment more in the nature of a deferment and belief has been widely h~ld that if rance makes a settlenzent it, too, will be in a privileged class for new discus- Therefore today’s developments in aris were noted with the highest in- st in Washington and speculation was immeciately started as to who would succeeded Paul-Boncour. The choice was held here to be one which would give some indication of the im- mediate future course of France in moving for debts revision.

RECH ANDFRENC CABINETSRESIGH AFTER DISPUTES Paul-Boncoyr Forced Out as Efforts to Balance Budget Fail. HITLER CAUSES FALL OF VON SCHLEICHER Herriot and Deladier Are Leading Candidates for Premier of France. By the Associated P; The Paul-Boncour government in France and the Von Schleicher cabi- net in Germany, both of which have had much trouble during their com- paratively brief periods in office have fallen. In Prance the lid blew off with pres- sure against the government’s program for balancing the budget by means of drastic economies and heavy new taxes. Gen. Von Schleicher stumbled over the perennial obstacle, which is Adolph Hitler. President von Hindenburg called in former Chancellor von Papen, who pre- ceded von Schleicher, instructing him to put together a Cabinet which will be supported in the Reichstag. Von Papen was not appointed ,Chancellor, but it | appeared certain that either he or Hit- ler would get the job. President Lebrun of France called in the party leaders, but there was no defi- nite indication as to who would become Premier. Edouard Herriot, M. Paul- Boncour's predecessor, was a leading candidate, and Edouard Daladier, many times a cabinet minister, was another. In Cape Town it was reported that the Hertzog government was considering resigning as a result of indications that the opposition efforts to form a coali- tion to rule the Union of South Africa were nearing success. SCHLEICHER CABINET QUITS. German Chancellor Refused Power to Dissolve Reichstag. BERLIN, January 28 (#)—Chancejlor Kurt von Schleicher, heading the twentieth cabinet since the establish- ment of the German Republic, resigned today after governing only 56 days. This period was horter than that of any predecessor except the last imperial chancellor, Prince Max von Baden, who lasted 30 dsys when the revolution | swept him into the discard. | Gen. von Schleicher realized from President Paul von Hindenburg's refusal | to Invest him with power {o dissolve the | Reichstag next Tuesday that he no longer enjoyed the confidence necessary | to steer the ship of state solely on the President’s authority in the face of a hostile Reichstag- Resignations Accepted. i | . The resignation of the entire Von | Schleicher cabinet was accepted by the | President after he had refused the chancellor's request. Baron Franz von Papen, preceding chancellor, was | charged to report on whether a cabinet |could be formed on a_parliamentary majority or other basis, if the majority was unobtainable. 'bfim' von Schleicher named three pos- sibil |in his interview today with the Presi- | dent. First he suggested a Government | backed by a majority of Parliament. | | This cculd be achieved only by making | Adolf Hitler, national Socialist leader, | chancellor. Secondly, he proposed a mi- | | nority Government resting upon “the | broad stream of popular support.” This also could be formed only under a Hit- ler chancellorship with the toleration of Rightist parties. His third suggestion was formation of a presidential cabinet | independent of parties. Such a cabinet must be vested with extraordinary powers. Von Schleicher solemnly warned against appointing a presidential cab- | inet resting in reality upon one politi- | cal party. This statement would apply to Baron von Papen, whose only sup- port was the Nationalists. Gen. von Schleicher seemed to have started auspiciously as chancellor with an address in which he proclaimed so- cial justice as the cardinal aim of his|be government and ma2de promises to vir- | tu2lly every calling, trade and industry. | His conviction that his policy was | creating an atmosphere of peace and | quiet was successful and was strength- ened by the absence of violence during | the Christmas season.

DETROIT, January 28.—The strike in the plants of the Briggs Manufac- turing Co., which forced a suspension of operations by the Ford Motor Co. throughout the United States, still was in effect this morning, although 40 men returned to their benches at the High- land Park body plant.

The possibility this might be Monday morning appeared to be remote unless a general return by the body workers at the Briggs plant materialized later today.

They | said talks with some of the men indi- cated a disposition to return to work, while others insisted on holding out until their leaders had negotiated with officials of the Briggs Co. The company, in announcing a guar- anteed b2se wage yesterday, said that only former employes of the plant would taken back until Monday morning. After that time, they said, the jobs would be considered open and would be filled with other men if necessary. 6,000 Workers Affected. Approximately 6,000 body plant em- ployes were affected by the shutdown of the Briggs Co. and a suspension of cer- tain departments of the Murray Corpo- ration of America after the Ford Co.'s anneuncement of a shutdown. Henry Ford was quoted by the Lon- don Evening Standard yesterday as say- ing in a transatlantic telephone inte: view that “certain of my competitors” were seeking to prevent “another Ford car from leaving the factory.” All efforts to elicit direct comment from Ford on the statement were futile, but Ford company officials who would not permit their names to be used said it was “substantially correct.” They declined either to explain or elaborate the statement. (The Evening Standard statement also quoted Ford as saying: “The ac- tual truth is that certain bankers are trying to obtain control of the Ford concern,” but associates said Ford told them informally that was “not exactly correct.”) SMITH WILL REFUSE ANY CABINET OFFER Declares He Is “Head of as Many Things Now as I Want to Be.” Former Gov.

Fears Real Suffering. [ “If the deficiency bill does not pass today there will be real suffering,” Sen- ator Bingham said. “Therefore, I will | withdraw the amendment and hope the bill will be acted upon immediately.” In taking this action, Senator Bing-| ham said he hoped Congress would pro- vide without undue delay in a later bill | for money due taxpayers as Federal re- | funds. Senator Bingham had been under the impression the District Govern- ment would be able to get alcng for a few more days by borrowing funds, but ollowing a conference this morning ith Commissioner Reichelderfer and District Auditor Donovan, he said that he would not press for action on the tax refund item in order to let the District relief money go through today. Bingham said he learned the city Government is prevented by law from borrowing. Passed House Yesterday. After having passed the House yes- terday afternoon, the measure Wwas quickly approved by the Senate Appro- priations Committee and taken imme- diately before the Senate by Chairman Hale of that committee. Passage of the measure was put over until today, however, when Senator | Bingham sought to restore to the bill the tax refund appropriation.

FIGHT ON PAY SLASH AND REGROUPING LOOMS Tydings Awaits Opportunity to 0f- fer Modified Retrenchment Resolution. Having abandoned the plan to send the Treasury-Post Office appropriation bill back to committee, the Senate will try this afternoon to finish the section of the measure carrying funds for those two departments and then turn atten- tion to the general economy program, which is tacked on to this supply bill. Although the resolution adopted by the Democrats in conference yesterday, declaring a general policy of reducing appropriations to estimated revenues at | the earliest practical time, will not be considered as part of the pending bill, efforts will be made on the Democratic side to make further cuts in Treasury- Post Office funds before this bill passes. These further cuts will be attempted by individual amendments. $50,000,000 Cut Sought. Minority Leader Robinson indicated yesterday that amendments would be offered seeking to take $35,000,000 to $50,000,000 more from the Treasury- Post Office measure. For example, Sen- ator McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, will urge that the lump sum of $50,- 000,000 for continuing the public build- ing program all over the country be reduced to $25,000,000. The same Sen- ator is ready to urge reduction of the allowances for ocean and air mail con- tracts. . ‘When these appropriation items have been disposed of, Senator Oddie, Repub- lican, of Nevada, in charge of Treasury- Post Office funds, will turn the re- mainder of the bill over to Senator Bingham, Republican, of Connecticut, who will explain the recommendations of the general economy provisions. These general economy. proposals which may be reached late today or Monday, include: A recommendation for a further pay cut of 123 per cent in Government salaries, in addition to the present 8!3 per cent payless fur- lough; granting of broader authority to the incoming President to proceed to reorganize the Government service by abolishing or consolidating bureaus application of the pay cut provisions to enlisted personnel of the military and naval services, and the imposing of & 10 per cent cut on pension and com- pensation checks issued by the Vet- erans” Administration wherever the an- nual peyment is more than $1,000 There are a number of other smaller economies included i the program. Pay Cut Fight Looms. Indications are that there will be considerable debate over the new pay cut and also on the broadening of the reorganization powers before they are voted on. ‘The Senate got down to detailed con- sideration of the Treasury-Post Office funds™ late yesterday after Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland, had been permitted to withdraw his previous motion to recommit the bill. In with- drawing the motion Tydings announced that at first opportunity he would call up the separate resolution drafted in the Democratic conference seeking to establish a general policy of retrench- ment on all appropriations. It was agreed on both sides of the aisle in the Senate yesterday that Con- gress will have to change a number of substantive laws which now make nec- essary many of the annual appropri- ations before the total expenses of the Government can be brought down to e:- timated revenues.
