Paris, June 24--The French acceptance of President Hoover's war debt holiday, with reservations, was approved by the cabinet today.

It lauds Mr. Hoover's initiation but, as expected, insists on the continuation of the "unconditional annuities" from Germany as "provided in the Young plan. The reply stressed that the government, however, must gain the approval of Parliament because the Young plan was voted a law last year and the cabinet can only approve the Hoover plan "in principle." The cabinet's defeat in the Chamber of Deputies was anticipated Friday, when it asks parliament's approval of its action. Parliament, hostile to the Hoover plan, has insisted a it be consulted prior to dispatch of any reply to the American proposal. The text of the French reply will be communicated through Walter E.

Edge, United States Ambassador, to the State Department in Washington later today. The French reply, a summary shows, includes the following salient points: 1--France agrees to waive for one year the conditional annuities totaling 1,634,000,000 francs 2--The entire unconditional an- 0 0 0 0 0 0 due France must be paid into the bank, for international settlements at Basle. The Basle bank is to have sole control over how the $111,000,000 is to be distributed in credits to Germany and other eastern european states requiring financial aid. France, In other words, insists on Germany's paying the unconditional a i during the year's holiday, but is willing to that money back to Germany if the Bank of International Settlements believes Germany and other eastern European countries need it. Rome, June 24--The Italian Government today announced acceptance, in principle, of President Hoover's war debts holiday proposal.

The American plan had been favorably received, and acceptance was expected, although one condition indicated was that Germany give up the proposed customs union with Austria.

Doolittle again displayed the alertness which has saved him on several occasions. Quickly jerking the nose of the ship upward, he climbed almost vertically and before the plana went to pieces sained enough altitude a he was able to "bail out' with a parachute and float safely to earth. The plane was demolished. The former army flier had invited newspaper men to watch his speed test, saying he wanted them to in on It" if anything happened.

His 10 year old son, James, also was watching.
