Official Germany regards current negotiations for reconsideration of the war debts as a matter which does not directly concern this country. There has been no oflicial comment, but th" tendency seems to be to agree with the British opinion that the debts situation requires further explanation to the United States. PLAN HIS Don Kellett.

The Red and Blue Quakers cut themselves a 13-7 slice of Cornell turkey, to make it A section of the crowd in the stadium can be in the background of a real Thanksgiving Day for most of the picture.

BUSINESS PICCARD PLANNING HUDSON A FLIGHT ON MARCH Munger Scores Early, Then Martinez-Zorilla Blocks Kick and Recovers Ball to Tie Count in Second Quarter By PERRY LEWIS An official who was merely enforcing an unpopular and ridiculous rule, implanted the seed of red rage In the heart of a Quaker grown sluggish yesterday afternoon on Franklin Field, and within five minutes a Cornell gridiron machine had reaped a harvest of disaster that sent it thundering down to defeat before the withering attack ot an infuriated Penn team, 13 to 7. Thus it came to pass that the Thanksgiving holiday of 1932 was Just another day of football headaches for Cornell. The Ithacans darved no turkey at the expense ot the Red and Blue; on the contrary the Big Red gobbler was decapitated to make a Quaker feast but the defeated warriors from far beyond Cayuga's waters can return to Ithaca's halls of learning and discuss one of the most singular games of the hoary Cornell-Penn series. 50.000 Witness Tussle Upwards of 50,000 gridiron en-1 thusiasts brought within the stadium all the traditional color of a Thanksgiving Day classic on Franklin Field. It was one of the smallest of modern Cornell-Penn crowds; there were drab patches of unoccupied concrete here and there but before the fascinated eyes of the faithful framing the barred field was unfolded a drama of human feelings that thrilled and astounded.

Before trading the early rout bf Penn, the first awakening of the Quakers' spirit, from which was developed the first touchdown in the opening period, the descent Into abysmal despair after Martinez-Continued on Page 18, Column 1 FILI CUTS TO DEATH Slashes Fifteen Persons Before He Is Overpowered by Police SEATTLE, Nov. 24 (A. Maddened and lusting for blood, a Filipino armed with knives ran amuck in the streets here today, killing six persons and wounding 150 other before police, answering riot calls, ran down and captured him. Overtaken Just as he stabbed a Japanese, three patrolmen ended the slasher's trail of slaughter after battle. The Filipino was beaten down and two knives which appeared to have been fashioned from a bolo, a native knife were taken from him.

Heavily manacled, the Filipino was taken to Jail where he gave the name of Julian Marcellno, 30, and said he was a laborer. Four fellow Filipinos and two white men fell fatally wounded under his murderous onslaught. They were: W. J. Morris, 60, a grocery store proprietor; Frank Johnson, 65, a bystander; Bernardino Bonita, Filipino; Pito Gualto, Filipino; Jimmy Ginimez, Filipino, and William Tan-ador, Filipino.

Seek Dead and Wounded With the Filipino in custody, police and ambulance surgeons backtracked his bloody trail, seeking the dead and the wounded. Ambulances were rushed to the district from every hospital in the city.

WASHINGTON, Nov. dent Hoover was represented today as rejecting President-elect Roose velt's thesis for handling the for eign debt problem.

Agreed on the principle the debts are open to review, but unable to agree on procedure, the outgoing and Incoming Presidents prepared to go their own ways. Mr. Hoover collecting the De cember payments as best he can and Mr. Roosevelt assuming the re-siwnslblllty for the future debt policy. In the face of certain defeat.

President Hoover will go through with his recommendation to Congress for the creation of a debt funding commission to examine the debtor nations' capacity to contains their payments. Subject to the ap proval of the holdover Congress to reconvene December 5, the Presl- dent will negotiate with these na tions with a view to accepting their December payments In their own currencies wherever necessary tJ avoid mutual economic injury. Congress Stand I'nrertain While the Congressional attitude toward this expedient Is uncertain. Indications are that the legislative branch might permit such payments under the circumstances. The notes In which the Administration is demanding the December payment from Oreat Britain, France and Bel-glum were designed to be read in the light of the President's publicly announced proposal of this temporary expedient pending the proposed establishment of a debt funding commission.

While, In a sense, this procedure is not unlike that Governor Roosevelt suggested for the reconsideration of separate debt agreements, upon application, with the President dealing directly with the debtor Powers before consulting Congress, Mr, Hoover considers It purely an emergency device made necessary by the crises which the December due date presents in certain countries, The Administration takes the position that such an approach not only proved impracticable when the first post-war loans were made, but met subsequent Congressional displeasure and led eventually to the taking over of this field of negotiations by Congress itself.

Hcrufd Trlttunt. SHANGHAI, Nov. 24. A sensational account of the alleged butchery of 2700 Chinese peasants, men, women and children, by Japanese loldiers in Manchuria, near Mukden, was published today by the Foreign Office of the Chinese Nationalist Government at Nanking. According to the report, a Jap-nese military detachment recently ordered all the inhabitants of the villages of Plngtlngsen, Chienching-pao and Litsekou to assemble in a ditch near Pingtingsan, on the pretext that the Japanese were searching the villages for Chinese "volunteers' (rebels against the Manchu-luo regime'), with whom the villagers were suspected of sympathizing.

The Japanese, the Nanking Foreign Office's statement says, then placed ten machine guns at 70 yards' distance from the assembled Chinese and ordered all the people to turn their backs and kneel. Start to Hun Sensing what was coming, the report continues, some of the Chinese thereupon ran as the machine guns opened fire. "Infants, children and others not killed by bullets," the report says, "were bayoneted to death, with the result that 2700 men and women, young and old, fell victims to the carnage." The foregoing story is denied in a dispatch reaching here today from Tokio, which quotes the official spokesman of the Japanese Foreign Office. According to him, the neighborhood of Fushun has been peaceful of late, neither Japanese nor bandits being there. FLICK CRITICISM OF SEAL FUND USE U.

Flick's criticism of the manner in which funds accruing from the sale of Christmas seals are expended. Dr, Flick, in an address before the County Medical Society on Wednesday night, declared that a substantial portion of the sum now expended in educational work and "extraneous" endeavor might better be used for the direct hospitalization of some of the 15,000 non-hos-pltallzed advanced cases in the city of Philadelphia.

FBI HOLIDAY FETE Victim Struck and Hurled 25 Feet at 46th and Chestnut Streets Cornelius Sullivan, 60, of 1542 Christian had spent Thanksgiving Day and evening at the home of a friend, William J. Morrow, at 216 S. Melville near 45th and Walnut sts. Sullivan, who had no family of his own, had been invited to Join the Morrow family and had accepted.

There had been the afternoon of friendly chatting, then a hearty dinner; more chatting, and finally Sullivan started for his rooms. He had walked less than two blocks to 4fith and Chestnut sts and was going toward the 4Uth st. station of the elevated. It was shortly after 10 o'clock. Perhaps he was remembering the good time he had enjoyed.

Anyway, he did not see the automobile rushing eastward on Chestnut st. He stepped Into the highway and started across. Hit By Auto Two men seated in a lunch wagon at the coiner heard the sickening sound as the automobile struck Sullivan, hurled his battered and broken body nearly 25 feet, and then sped away at a high speed. The men, James Joyce, of 4508 Sansom and Arthur Black, 436 8. 52d rushed out and found Sullivan's unconscious form.

They stopped the automobile of William Tlnney, 904 S. 57th and Sullivan was taken to Misericordia Hospital. Half an hour later he o'led without regaining consciousness; without even knowing, police believe, what Btiuck him. Both arms and both U'ks had been broken, his skull had been fractured and he was Injured internally. A city-wide search for the car was started.

Heads of several business organizations announced intention of leading delegations to the hearing, to be held at 3 P. to demand a reduction in the taxes. Economy in the city's schools, particularly through reduction of the salaries of executives, and not of teachers, will be demanded, the militant business men Indicated. Councilman William W.

Roper at the same time urged all citizens and taxpayers to attend the meeting. Board Members Doubt Any Cut William Rowen, president of the board, announced that If today's meeting, one of the Finance Committee, produces results which warrant further action, a special meeting of the entire board may be called immediately to act on the tax problem. The president of the school board, however, held that any committee recommendation for lowering school taxes was "very unlikely." "The story is simply this," he said, "The tax rate has been decided by the board after careful consideration. It was decided that if we do not want to cripple the school system we shall have to keep the present tax rate. There is not a member of the board who would not be glad to reduce the tax rate, if possible." Other members of the board expressed doubt that the tax question could be reopened.
