Reduction in Obligations Sought by England American Delegates Suggest Withdrawal By Arthur Sears Henning LONDON, June 13 Despite all efforts to keep it out, the war debt cancellation issue got into the World Economic Conference today and dominated the proceedings. While Secretary of State Cordell Hull, chairman of the American delegation, continued to asseverate that war debts did not cause the depression and that their cancellation would not. cure it, and continued to Insist on a settlement of economic questions without refer-encc to war debts, the American delegation found itself up against a combination of debtor nations proceeding on a totally different theory. The powers maneuvering to force, the United States into a 90 per cent reduction of the $11,000,000,000 in debts due Uncle Sam had no ears (nr anything except the news from Washington of what President Rnorevclt is going to do about, the Uritish Government's pressing for debt reduction In connection with the proposal of only a nominal payment on the $75,950,000 June 15 Installment.

Hull and other members of the American delegation were as much the dark as the others regarding the debt negotiations in Washington and were looking for information as to the statement Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain was to have made in the House of Commons, first at 6 and then at in o'clock.

Prevost Four months ago this morning, the people of Michigan awoke to learn that all banks of the State I had been closed by proclamation of the Governor. They were Imme-i diately assured that the banking holiday, so-called, was but a tern-j porary measure, and would last but eight days. On that February morning the Glass-Steagall Bill for reformation of the banking system of the Na tion was held fast in the United States Senate. It had been frequently discussed during three years of depression.

This bill had something to do with the closing of the banks In this State. It finally passed the Senate Tuesday. At 9:30 a. m. Wednesday, four months after the banks were closed, a public grand jury investigation of the immediate causes behind the closing of the 518 financial institution of the State is due to open before Judge Harry B.

Keidan in the Wayne County Circuit Court. An I nanswered Question Will the Investigation provide the answer to tha question, "Why were the banks closed, and why did they remain closed?" Prosecutor Harry S. Toy and Charles Cummins, assistant attorney general, conferred with Judge Keidan late Tuesday afternoon, following which conference Mr. Toy announced that he would actively participate in the grand jury proceedings. He will be assisted by Chester P.

Hara, Edmund Shepherd, I. A. Capizzi and Georue M. Stutz, assistant, prosecutors. The hearing will be held in the Supervisors' room of the County Building.

Rudolph E. Reichert. state banking commissioner, is to be one of the first witnesses. He said Tuesday at Lansing that while he had receiven only an informal re quest to appear, he expected to comply. He is expected to furnish some salient facts on the history of the bank shutdown.

jMght Conference Held The banks of the state had been closed on Monday, Feb. 13, in celebration of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. That night, in the board room of the Union Guardian Trust officials of the banks of the state gathered with officials of the Federal Government and many business men nf Detroit. It was at this meeting that the decision was reached to ask for a hanking holiday. Gov.

William A. Comstock was summoned from Lansing. He arrived shortly before midnight, and three hours later issued the now famous proclamation. That meeting was attended by A. P.

Leyburn, then chief bank examiner for the Seventh Federal Reserve District, with supervision over the National banks of Michigan; by A. A. Ballantyne, under secretary of the treasury in the Hoover ad ministration; Eugene M. Stevens, governor of the Seventh Reserve Bank, Chicago, and C. R.

McKay, deputy governor; Roy D. Chapin, then secretary of commerce, and John H. McKee, representing the Reconstruction Finance Corp. Hanking Hill Discussed The Glass-Steagall Bill was discussed. It was pointed out that this legislation might be advisable.

Sitting in on the conference and discussing this bill were Sloan S. Colt, president of the Bankers Trust New York, and Melvin A. Tray-lor, for years a dominant figure in Chicago financial It is charged that Gov. Comstock was assured that legislation wasi required nationally, and that De trolt was probably the proper place to create a crisis which would force legislation to reform banking. It also was pointed out by the.

agents of the Federal Government that the holiday would be hut temporary, and would not last more than eight days. The Governor also was informed that State legislation could Turn, lo Tag, 10 Column 2 Girl Sleeping Victim Undergoes Operation CHICAGO, June 13-f A.

I O'Brien Asked to Sift Lobbies Racket Prober Tells of Illegal Acts Recorder's Judge McKay Skillman, acting as a one-man grand jury, recommended Tuesday in a letter to Attorney General Patrick H. O'Brien that the latter undertake an investigation nf legislative lobbying. Judge Skillman pointed out that certain illegal acts have come his attention during the course of the racket and lobbying inquiry which he is making but are not within his jurisdiction. He made public his letter to the Attorney General after it had been revealed that Norman E. Buckner, head of a Pontiac loan company, had admitted befo'e the grand jury that he paid money to lobbyists in connection with loan company legislation.

Buckner's testimony came to light through his refusal to testify. His testimony was obtained and entered on the court records, which are public, unlike oral grand jury testimony, following a motion by Prosecutor Harry S. Toy to compel him to testify. The loan company stated that he had paid an unknown amount to Constantlne (Teeny) Daniels, Grand Rapids lobhylst, a year or more ago "to present our case to the Legislature." Buckner also admitted paying $1,700 in February to Francis Thompson, of the Household B'inance of Chicago. Although Thompson has been described by Mr.

Toy as a lobbyist, Buckner denied paying him the money for lobbying purposes. He likewise denied paying any money to Edward Steimely, also of the Household Finance Co. Testimony Is Continued Buckner continued his testimony Tuesday. Other witnesses called were Maurice Morse, Detroit attorney; Buckner's brother, Seymour Buckner, manager of the People's State Lonn of Highland Park, and Carl Goetz. of the Monroe Finance of Monroe, and secretary of the Association of Personal Finance Companies.

Morse was drawn Into the Inquiry when Councilman John W.

Many of his gifts to further educational and recreational projects were offered with the reservation that the name of the donor remain secret.

This announcement was made notwithstanding the fact that Mrs. Roosevelt had just returned to the White House from the West Coast, where she visited Elliott, in Lou Angeles and made the first announcement that he was going to Nevada to establish a residence In order that his wife might get a divorce. That fact, however, apparently has not altered her friendly feeling for her daughter-in-law.
