FEARSFOR SV ANERGANS GROW City’s Garrison Reported to Have Joined With “Red” Bandits. By the Associated Press. NANKING, January 18.—Grave con- cern was felt today for 21 Americans and 40 other foreigners in Sianfu with the renewed reports the city’s garrison definitely had thrown in with the “Communist-bandits” of Shensi Province. Hope dimmed for amicable settle- ment of the crisis growing out of Mar- | shal Chang Hsueh-liang's revolt last | December, according to the official Central News Agency. Gen. Yang Hu-chen, Shensi military chieftain and ally of Marshal Chang, the agency said in advices from Lo- yang. Honan Province, has turned deaf ears to the Nanking government's overtures for peace. 10,000 Communists Campaign. An army of 10,000 Communists. it reported, had arrived in the north- western provincial capital and, with & campaign of propaganda, caused the Shensi military to join them. The news agency said it was in- formed the alleged influx of Commu- nist soldiery had resulted in confisca- tion of all available foodstuffs and other necessitles. Under pressure from United States Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson, the Nanking authorities dispatched a res- eue plane to Sianfu under orders to attempt the evacuation by air of all foreigners. Sianfu authorities have not indicated fcquiescence in the plan and in view of the reported stiffening of their re- calcitrant attitude, success of the plan was held questionable. Aboard the plane was Hall Paxton. second secretal a representative of the Nanking for- eign office. Paxton was to relieve Capt. David | Barrett, assistant United States mili- | tary attache at Loyang, who was or- dered to Sianfu by Johnson to use “any method possible to assist for- eigners’ departure. *“Must Suppress Reds Alone.” Former Premier Wang Ching-wei, who returned recently after almost a year abroad, told leaders of the Kuo- mintang (Nationalist party): “China must not only suppress the Communists before it is possible to consider Japanese aggression in China, but we must do it alone.” His statement was interpreted as a criticism of the alliance against com- munism recently concluded betweea the Tokio and Berlin governments. Wang explained this self-reliant at- titude did not mean adoption of aa 1solationisi poliey. FRANKLIN, JR., TO TRY LUCK ON SPORTY TARPON B the Assoclated Press. BOCA GRANDE, Fla, January 18.—Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr.. hopes to catch at least one west coast tarpon while he convalesces at the home of his fiancee’s parents from an {llness. tained for young Roosevelt and Miss Ethel du Pont, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene du Pont, at whose home on Gasparilla Island they will spend about three weeks. The President’s son never has caught anything so large as a tarpon but Miss du Pont is familiar with the art of handling the sporty fish. Roose- velt suffered severely from a sinus infection and complications in a Bos- ton hospital recently. FOUND. PURSE. black: Saturday. between 3th and ;'h on Sheridan st. n.w. Call Georgia 395 LOST.

DEBT SETTLEMENT DY BRITAINISSEEN Visit of Officials Bolsters Be- lief Negotiations Will | Be Opened. Ev the Associated Press. NEW YORK. January 18—With war debts entwined in the broader question of trade and international | monetary stabilization, it is believed in well-informed circles the British government is prepared to make a | settlement on its debt to the United | States. | This belief, prevalent for some weeks, has gained strength with the visit of two British officials, Walter Runciman, president of the British { Board of Trade, and Sir Otto Nie- meyer. director and financial expert of the Bank of England. Runciman will arrive tomorrow on the liner | Caledonia. Sir Otto is en route. | It was further believed likely that, if a settlement is made by England, France would quickly follow. As payment dates have passed with default after default—the British debt is now $786,000,000 in arrears, With accrued interest—the question has become not only one of debt settlement, but also is related to monetary stabilization, together with the possibility of a reciprocal trade | agreement between this Government and Britain. Informed persons believed Runci- man is empowered to discuss these if not to open formally negotiations on stabilization and a trade pact. He will spend next week end as a White House guest, but President Roosevelt | said his visit was personal, They are old friends. The conclusion of a reciprocal trade pact with Britain would be re- garded as a major accomplishment of the tariff program of Secretary of State Cordell Hull. It was felt cer- | tain by some New Yorkers close to | the administration, however, that this Government would first insist upon a settlement of war debts. According to these persons, nego- tiations between the United States and Great Britain might be three- fold, including, after the settlement of debts, an egreement on stabilization and the conclusion of a reciprocal trade pact The reciprocity pact with France has been in effect for some months. The French government, of necessity, would have to enter into any stabiliza- | tion agreement of far-reaching con- sequences, and the appointment of | Georges Bonnet as the new French Ambassador to Washington has been | widely accepted as an indication | | France was ready te join with Britain | and the United States to this end. Sir Otto's presence in this country —even though the Bank of England | . said he was coming here only to dis- cuss defaulted German and South American bonds With New York bank- ers and representatives of holders— likewise lent impetus to a general be- lief there has been a renewal of ef- | foris for currency stabilization. If a stabilization agreement is reached it would, if custom is fol- lowed, be open to any nation wishing | to adhere and complying with its pro- | visions—and one of these provisions would probably be a prior settlement of debts. In the case of Germany and Japan this would not be neces- | sary, of course, as they have no war debt due to the United States.

GUELPH, Ontario, January 18 (Canadian Press). — Hungry, mud- plastered youths who fled the big Ontario Reformatory during a nine- hour riot straggled back today under a “no prosecution” pledge from the Ontario government. Thirty-five of the more than 700 who fought their guards in the wreck- ed and burning prison for nine hours Sunday remained at large this fores noon, but many were expected to re- turn of their own accord. Ten clay-caked inmates who raced over rain-soaked fields last night ale ready were in Guelph police cells. Others of the estimated 100 to 150 who got away last night were captured on the reformatory grounds or in Guelph, An army of carpenters, plumbers and electricians invaded the big prison today to repair the damage. Every- thing was quiet and officials insisted the riot was “spontaneous.” Today, however, breakfast at the reformatory was served in cells. Guards Are Critical. Acting Premier Harry Nixon, who promised the missing prisoners they | would receive no additional penalty aside from their short sentences if they gave up immediately, declared: “The young fellows decided to put on a show.” In the face of some comment by guards that the prison had been “run like a college,” Nixon, at Toronto, ex= plained there were no hardened crim- inals as the institution. Provincial policy, he sald, has been to segregate young offenders at Guelph. At least three men were injured and $200,000 damage resulted from the dis- orders. The riot broke out suddenly at noon and lasted until a tear gas bomb scattered rioters who were de- molishing the prison recreation room long after nightfall. Fifteen prisoners were overcome by smoke. Dormitories Ruined. Inmates touched flares to every- thing that would burn. They ruined the dormitories, the chapel and the hospital from which 12 patients had to be removed to safety. ‘What furniture was not piled up for kindling was broken into bludg- eons with which infuriated bands roved in wrecking forays. Insurrection flared at noon, when 25 men, complaining against the quantity and quality of prison food and against a ban on receiving Christ- mas packages, refused to eat. Dr. J. D. Heaslip, reformatory superintend- ent, estimated about 35 prisoners actually engaged in the pandemonium which ensued. Scarcely a pane of glass was left unbroken. Even in the supposedly fireproof “custodian building,” where the rioting broke out, floors and win- dow sills were seared by fire. —Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto. ins Award DR. FREDERICK G. COTTRELL.
