PARIS, June 15.—The French Coun- cil of Ministers decided today to ask Parliament to hand full powers to Premier Leon Blum to decree ‘“all measures” necessary to end the na- tion’s financial crisis. The decision was reached at a morn- ing session which submitted to Presi- dgnt Alfred Lebrun a series of finan- clal measures designed to maintain the value of the franc and safeguard the government's credit despite an estimated deficit of 40,000,000,000 francs ($1,760,000,000). ‘The precise nature of the measures ELLIS SPECIAL Sea Food Platter 85¢ Consists of soft shell crab, fried scallops, fried shrimp, Chesapeake crab cake, coleslaw and French fried potatoes.

A communique issued by the cabinet merely announced: “The Council of Ministers delib- erated on the financial projects, ex- amined yesterday and approved unanimously, which were submitted for the signature of the President. “The government will ask parlia- mentary authorization during a very limited period to take by decree all suitable measures to assure relief of public finances and ward off attacks against savings money and public credit.” Refuse to Devalue Franc. France clung to her monetary agree- ment with the United States and Brit- ain today as the government's “protect | the franc” program moved toward parliamentary consideration. Finance Minister Vincent Auriol had the cabinet's unanimous approval of his project to maintain the franc's value and guard the government's credit in the face of an estimated deficit of 40,000,000,000 francs ($1,~ 760,000,000) for 1937. Auriol's plan won the ministry's sanction only after a momentary split in the ranks of Socialist Premier Leon Blum's supporters, however. ~ EDUCATIONAL.

'SCOTTSBORO ATTACK SENTENCE AFFIRMED | Fourth Conviction of Defendant Found Correct, but Lawyers Plan Another Appeal. By the Associated Press. MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 15— The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed yesterday a 75-year sentence for Hey- wood Patterson, one of the nine col- ored defendants in the ‘“Scottsboro” case. Patterson, charged with attacking Mrs. Victoria Price aboard a freight train in March, 1931, was given the sentence at Decatur, Ala, in January, 1936. It was his fourth conviction in the case, but the first in which the deatn sentence was not imposed. Attorneys for Patterson announced the case would be taken to the United States Supreme Court for a third time. Convictions have been set aside by the high tribunal on two previous appeals. Patterson is the only one of the nine defendants under sentence.

Washington Letter To Nephew Brings $1,050 at Auction Expressed Longing for Repose After Ending of Revolutionary War. B the Associated Press. LONDON, June 15—A letter in which George Washington expressed his longing for repose after winning the Revolutionary War was sold yes- terday at auction for $1,050. The letter was written to his nephew from Princeton, N. J., on September 4, 1783, the day after the peace treaty with Great Britain was signed. It was among & collection of autographed documents offered for sale at Sotheby'’s, famed auctioneers of rare books and papers. Gen. Washington wrote his nephew: ‘A shall remain here by order of Congress 'till the definite treaty ar- rives, or 'till New York is evacuated, when I shall take leave of public life | and repair to my own home and in ease and quiet enjoy that repose which I have been a stranger to for more than eight years.” Washington's “leave of public life” was short, however, for in 1787 he was presiding officer of the conatitu- tional convention at Philadelphia and two years later was inaugurated as first President of the young republie.

DELTA, Colo, June 15.—Families returned to a scene of devastation yesterday in the village of Austin, where a 30-foot wall of water toppled houses, piled up debris and ruined the Western Oolorado community’s best crops in years. No deaths were reported. - The torrent rushed over the hamlet Sunday night, when the reservoir wall of Harts Basin collapsed, loosing 3,400 acre feet of water. Damage esti- mates ranged up to nearly $200,000. A 24-hour battle had been waged to save the weakened reservoir wall before it collapsed. The villagers, warned of the Im- pending. onrush of water, evacuated and witnessed the flood from high ground. play. “I never went beyond the grades myself,” she commented. “I think most colleges in their little theaters offer excellent preparation for the stage,” sald Miss Hayes. “Of course, I'm biased, but I think the stage offers a wonderful career for college graduates.” A similar degree of doctor of let- ters was awarded Katherine Cornell, another American actress. She was not present to sccept the honor per sonally. A Men's Shops [ Y CAMBRIDGE BLAST Restaurant, Breaks Windows in Maryland Town. By the Associated Press.
