DROPPING SOVIET DEBT CASE DENIED Phillips Says Agreement on Trade Does Not Mean Effort Abandoned. By the Associated Press. William Phillips, Acting Secretary of State, said today conclusion of the Soviet - American trade agreement would cause no relaxation in Ameri- can efforts to achieve a favorable set- tlement of an estimated $700,000.000 in debts contracted in this country by the old imperial and Kerensky Russian governments. His statement at a press conference was made after published reports that, since the debt question was not in- corporated in the trade agreement, it meant the United States had aban- doned efforts to reach a decision. The debt question, he added, mains where it was last February, when protracted negotiations looking | toward an amicable settlement broke | down | Officials here said they know of no immediate plans to resume dls-‘ cussions. Phillips also replied to critics of lhe. trade agreement who saw in it the ruin of the domestic manganese ore industry, because of a duty reduction granted in the Brazilian pact. which may now be extended to the Soviet. American manganese production, he declared, amounted to only 10 per cent of the total manganese consumed ml this country. The remaining 90 p cent. needed by American mdu>lr} he explained, will continue to be im- ported from other countries at half the existing duty rate when the new | Brazilian pact becomes effective. It | is now before the Brazilian Congress for approval He said only 354 men are employed in the domestic industry.

Miss Barnes, Dlst(mt W eather F orecasts Loom In Observation of Tropop(mse Oscillation” Stratosphere and in Boundary ) Betiween Lower Layer of Atmosphere Offers Clue to Changes. By the Associated Press CHICAGO. July 15.—Picnickers may be able to plan on the weather as well as the menu several days in advance. Dr. Irving Krick said in an inter- | view today that scientific weather ob- | servers were approaching longer range | and more accurate forecasts than pre- viously have been possible. Dr. Krick, assistant professor of me- teorology in the Daniel Guggenheim Graduate School of Aeronautics at the California Institute of Technol- OgY. supports the Norwegian-originat- ed belief that observation of the trop- opause boundaries is important in weather prediction. The tropopause, he explained. is the boundary between the troposphere, or lower layer of the earth’s atmos- phere. and the stratosphere. “The oscillations, or variations in the height of the tropopause. appar- | |ently are due to horizontal move- ments in the upper layers of the trop- oshere and the lower layers of the stratosphere.” Dr. Krick said. “These lead to large-scale changes in the troposphere pressure distribu- tion, which in turn enables forecast- ers to anticipate general conditions for | several days over the affected area Also the periods of active interaction between air masses of the troposphere may be anticipated some time before they develop.” 1y California. Dr. Krick said. con- ditions are such that his staff has been able to make accurate predictions | up to 10 days. The new forecasters divide masses of the United States into six general classes, depending upsn the re- gion over which they attain identify- ing characteristics. When masses of different types get together, the fore- casters know what probably will happen. ‘Art of Webster, Calhoun Clay Noiw Fails to Move Senators By the Associated Press Daniel Webster and Henry Clay may have swayed senatorial votes with their oratory., but those davs are gone, perhaps forever. At least, that's the opinion of sev- eral Senators who were asked to ex- press an opinion on the potency of fervid eloquence. In general, they held that it doesn't change many votes nowadays. Here are some Senators’ views: McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee— “In my rather long experience I have seen some instances where speeches have influenced votes. As a rule de- bate has no influénce except in so far | as it gives us an understanding of the bill. The influence of oratory passed with Webster, Clay and Cal- noun. 1It's all a matter of facts, facts, facts now.” Nye. Republican, of North Dakota— “A Senate speech is generally futile. I know of only one man—Borah— who exercises any perceptible influ- | ence through his oratory.” Moore, Democrat, “Debate has little influence. Men walk out when a speech is made. ‘Their minds are made up by their constituents.

The official rainfall record- ing instruments are at the Weather Bureau Building at ‘Twenty-fourth and M streets and there the rain was light, while to the west of Washington there was no rain at all. “It was a very local shower.” the Weather Bureau explained. The official rainfall record shows but twelve hundredths of an inch, although one of the Weather Bureau scientists, parked at Emergency Hospital during the shower, saw water more than 4 inches deep rushing down the gutters. In parts of Northeast Washington water in the streets was reported knee-deep in places, while the Capital Transit Co. re- ported the Florida avenue under- pass flooded for a half hour. influences votes indirectly.

Long’s wishes and circu- | late petitions for Walmsley's removal by the Legislature. Most of Walmsley's leaders “sur- rendered” Priday to Long. | The mayor spoke for an hour over ‘ke radio last night, blaming the city's financial difficulties on Long and re- asserting his intention never to “com- premise or surrender.” Long pre- viously had asserted Walmsley must | “get out.” | Loans Made Impossible. | The mayor said Long, “with his controlled Legislature and his con- trolled tax commission, by taking away revenues on the one hand and making the time of collection of what revenues are left us uncertain,” had made it impossible for the city to borrow money. | The city’s treasury was exhausted today with payment to employes of 30 per cent of salaries for the first half- of July, the first payments since June 1.
