Per Cent Cut In
War Debt to U. S.
— .

cent reduction in the debts of the
former allied governments to the
United States was suggested today
in the budget report of the ministry
of finance, which was presented in
the chamber of deputies by Fi
nance Minister Guido Jung.

SHOWS TONIGHT
(■Special to The Herald) |
RIO HONDO, Ma y20.— “Adam
and Eva” the Broadway success,
will be staged by the Rio Hondo
senior class at the high school
auditorium Friday night.
"Adam and Eva” is a comedy.
The plot deals with James King of
Long Island who seeks a rest in
the wilds of the Amazon. He leaves
his family in charge of his busi
ness manager Adam Smith, ulro
undertakes to reform the spend
thrift family. The complications
arising from this situation provide
the interest.
Cast of characters is: James
King, wealthy business man. Mor
ris Farrar; Eva King, his attract
ive daughter. Nell Arnett; Julie
de Witt, his married daughter,
Bernice Brockhause; Clinton
de Witt, Julie's husband, Walde
mar Taube; Aunt Abby Rocker,
King’s sister-in-law and house
keeper; Carol George. Uncle Hor
ace Pilgrim, week end visitor. Ken

per cent of German reparations.
This was true, his report said, even
if inter-European allied debts were
cancelled.
The 80 per cent reduction was the
first official suggestion since the
fascist grand council on April 8,
1932, urged cancellation of both re
paratoins and debts.
The budget report said:
“Presuming a stroke of the sponge
on the debts and credits among the
European allies, and admitting that
all damages of the waran d expenses
of reconstruction in the devastated
•<ar regions are to be assumed by
the nations most stricken—Italy,
France and Belgium—it is evident
that, as a result of the Lausanne re
ductions in German reparations, a
reduction of 80 per cent in allied
payments to America is necessary.” |

lation. The people would vote on
the question in November 1934.

to improve the machinery for collec
tion of taxes. The bill would pro
vide for establishment of a tax col
lection division in the office of the
tax commissioner. Two assistants

ed to prosecute delinquent tax pay
ers.

to strengthen provisions of the in
heritance tax la-w, an increase cf
$1,000,000 annually from this source

PARIS, May 19.—(JP>— Mainten
ance of a strong army was the
French reply today to Chancellor
Hitler of Germany.
Premier Edouard Deladier, cate
gorically rejecting a further cut m
war expenses, declared in the sen
ate that the French army is strong
and must be kept strong.
Meeting Denied
This firm stand suddenly squelch
ed talk of a meeting between the
premier and Chancellor Hitler of
Germany. The government also of
ficially denied that such a meeting
was contemplated.
The premier told the senate that
war economies had been made but
that they had not impaired the
army’s strength.
“I affirm,’’ he said, “that we can
have confidence in the army and I
affirm that our national defense is
assured.”
M. Daladier said this was in ac
cordance with the judgment of the
chiefs of the army, as set forth at
a recent meeting of the superior
war council over which he presided.
The senate immediately exempt
ed the defense budget from a five
per cent additional cut.
“Is Still Hitler”
The disarmament conference may
achieve something, the premier saia,
but “for the present we would he

KILLED
OR INJURED
Don't Wait! Let Vs Show
You How to Banish Fear
of Blow-outs
WHEN you travel at 40, 50 and
60—mile after mile—the heat
inside your tire becomes terrific.
Rubber and fabric begin to sepa
rate. Then a blister forms—and
grows bigger and bigger—until
BANG! A blow-out! You can’t
steer ;;; you can’t stop. And thee
CRASH!
New Tire 3 Times Safer
To prevent such tragedies, Good
rich has built into every new Silver
town Tire the amazing Life-Saver
Golden Ply. This invention resists
terrific beat—inside the tire—where
blow-outs really start. Rubber and
fabric don’t separate. Thus blisters
don’t form. Blow-outs are pre
vented by overcoming their cause.
At gruelling speeds on the
world's fastest track, the new
Goodrich Safety Silvertown, with
the Life-Saver Golden Ply, lasted
three times as long as first quality
tires that did not have this feature.
Skid-Resisting Tread
Moreover, actual road tests prove
that the Goodrich Safety Silver
town has the most skid-resisting
tread. Gives your car extra road
grip : reduces danger of skid
ding to a minimum.
Let us show you these remarld
able tires—made three times safth
from blow-outs at high speeds.
They cost no more than other
standard makes!
