PARiSAIDS DEBT PLANS France Yields to U. S. Accord Near on Moratorium Paris, July 2 (A. Settlement on a very favorable basis of the Franco-American negotiations con-tering about President Hoover's proposed war debt holiday tonight was expected within a few hours. It was learned from reliable sources that an agreement had been reached on certain of the outstanding Issues on which the French and American viewpoints disagreed France has agreed to give Germany more than five years to refund a loan based on the unconditional reparations, and 10 or more years probably will be granted.

France also was said to have reconsidered her suggestion that some of this money be loaned to Jugoslavia and other small European nations whose needs would be provided for by other means. Near Accord WHh Britain was learned also that Franc and Great Britain are approaching an agreement on the question of the guarantee fund under the Young plan. This was one of the points about which Franca was most concerned.

The British government intervened dramatically tonight In discussions of President Hoover's moratorium plan by announcing its "willingness" to hold a conference of the powers chiefly concerned if the negotiations at Paris should break down.

Croul, twica Detroit police commissioner, who died Thursday at 3 p. m. of pneumonia In the Charles Godwin Jennings hospital.

For half a century he had been active in tha business life of the city.

Describing the world's economls difficulties as a result of over-pro duction in the western hemisphere and under-production In the east ern, he declared: "Those of us who have been bending our heads in front of those difficulties, confessing that we were baffled by them, now begin to see a way out, to see hope.

Cunningham Drug atort, 106S Woodward PLEA FOR A U. S. MEDAL PLANNED New York, July 2 (A. Wiley Post and Harold Gatty covered today perhaps the most nerve-wracking stretch of their record-smashing trip around the worldthe six miles between the Battery and Forty-sixth street. With such flerce-sounding places as Blagoveshchensk, Khabarovsk and Novosibirsk behind, they faced the showers of ticker tape and con-fetti, screaming sirens and boat whistles, hurrahs of thousands and the stares of lines of humanity along Broadway and Fifth avenue.

Wife Joins Harold Gatty Only the Winnie Mae herselj, sturdy maid of the world skies, had a chance to take the day quietly. She stood, line a patient charger, in her Roosevelt field hangar. Into which she had been rolled when the world-rounding flight ended last night after eight days, 15 hours and 51 minutes. She could have started out and done it all over again, mechanics said, if she'd wanted to. The day began for Harold Gatty, navigator of the flight, when his wife, after a plane-train trip from Glendale, crept Into his room at his hotel and awakened him with a kiss shortly after 9 o'clock this morning.

Mr. and Mrs. Gatty and Mr. and Mrs. Post, together with Florence C.

Hall, millionaire oil man who backed the flight, breakfasted lightly, and then the procession of welcome began. There was no privacy for the fliers or their wives. New York's enthusiasm over their feat was too great for that. On the city tug, Macom, which took them from the foot of Forty-tourth street to the Battery for Uie start of their triumphant ride to city hall and then back to their hotel, they were photographed again and again. Between trips from the pilot house to pose lor newspaper photographers or to record for the "talkies," they were besieged by reporters and members of the mayor's reception committee, all desirous of learning the details of their flight Boisterous Welcome Given They told little, however, and probably thanked the nearly incessant roar of sirens for the "quiet" It gave.

Both fliers helped make some of the noise of their own reception. They pulled the levers that released blast after blast from the Mocat.i's siren. Post, especially, enjoyed the experience. At the Batterv Jrew York gave its loudest greeting. Scores of tugs, boats and ferries joined In adding to the roar, as flreboats threw streams of water into the air and crowds ashore waved.

Three thousand rioting men and women tonight burned down a Catholic monastery and were fought off by police and soldiers with fixed bayonets when they attempted to fire two other Catholic institutions.

The Capuchin monastery of San Jose burned to the ground and the flames destroyed four homes adjacent. All the priests escaped. The mob stormed out of a bull ring early in the evening after an anti-Catholic meeting, charged across the city to the monastery, set it afire, then streamed to the Jesuit college. Troops reinforced police when the situation threatened to get out of hand. Driven back by soldiers, the mob fought with stones, sticks and knives in a desperate effort to break through the lines.

There is no martial law yet, but troops were posted at strategic points throughout the city. The provincial governor reported to the minister of Interior at Madrid that the situation was under control. BIRTH CONTROL APPROVAL GIVEN Newly Merged Church Action Is Not Opposed Seattle. July 2 (A. Approval of voluntary parentage through birth control was formally given by the national council of Congregational and Christian churches to-day.

'i he proposal, reported favorably by the seminar on the family and youth, was adopted with practically no opposition. It was based on the recent report of the Federal Council of Churches. SKE NOTICE TO riBLlC, PAKE 14 SICK AND AGED ONLY TO GET AID A special meeting of the public welfare commission has been called for Monday morning, at which time President Harry H. Andrews will seek to eliminate from the welfare rolls the 25,000 families of the unemployed, and return the department to Us normal task of caring for the sick, the aged and others in distress through causes other than unemployment. Mr.

Andrews announced late Thursday that the special meeting had been called, after he had conferred with Thomas E. Dolan, superintendent of public welfare. Municipal Lodges to Close President Andrews' threat to drop the unemployed from the dole lists was first made at a meeting of the common council, when the resolution of Councilman William P. Bradley to reduce the welfare expenditures to. $300,000 was discussed by Mayor Frank MMrphy and welfare department executives.

Mayor Murphy opposed the plan of the welfare president, but Mr. Andrews reiterated his threat following the session with Mr. Dolan. The municipal lodging houses for homeless single men were ordered closed by unanimous vote of the council in its third special session of the week, held at noon. Mayor Murphy vetoed the resolution closing the lodges more than a week ago.

It was originally introduced by Councilman George A. Walters and carried by a vote of six to three. Council Over-Rides Veto The council voted unanimously Thursday to over-ride the veto. The lodges were ordered closed and the inmates informed they could obtain lodging and shelter at the county infirmary at Elolse. It was announced at the Flajier lodge, West Fort street near Twenty-fourth, Thursday night that the institution would be closed Monday at 8 a.

m. Mr. Walters argued at the special session that the Infirmary at Eloise, recently enlarged by the county, could accommodate the 2,000 men. "I think you gentlemen are monkeying with a problem that contains a lot of dynamite," said Mr. Andrews.

"What are we going to do with these 25,000 families? "I do not want to be responsible, as a commissioner, for cutting down the allowance to $300,000 but If you persist in this stand I will have to introduce a resolution to cut these people off the list." "We have discharged a great number of men from the city pay rolls recently," said Mr. Bradley, "I know only a few of that number, but of that few six are planning to leave the ity for a farm, believing they will be better off there. If that is so. why wont our action in arbitrarily limiting the dole have a similar effect on a number of these 31.000 recipients of aid?" As a compromise, Mr. Dolan suggested the deficit allowance for July be fixed at $300,000, with the under standing the department would use up its annual budget allowance, $200,000, during that period.

STRANGERITE SHOCKS COURT 'Love Brands' Cut in Detroit Pair' Arms A strange ritual, in which a young wife, the daughter of a Detroit police sergeant, and a man with whom she is said to have formed an intimate friendship, carved their names in each others' arms amazed the morals court of Pittsburgh Thursday, according to a dispatch from that city.

Made No Promises The great outside world knew little of the quiet man as a business leader. It was as police commissioner that they knew of him, respected him, admired him and loved him; made of him an institution, i He never made a speech in his life, he never made a political prom ise of any kind, be never granted interviews except wherein they per tained to matters of police administration. With the simplicity of a deeply sincere man he spoke of himself always as merely a servant of the people while in office, but never for publication. His position was unique in the political history of Detroit. He was appointed by Mayor Phillip Breitmeyer inJ909 following the letter's election.

In those days a police commissioner was appointed for a term of four years and once appointed could not be removed except for cause. Mr. Croul took the office with a clear understanding that there would be no political strings attached. Entered Difficult Situation The department had been completely demoralized by the constant play of politics before this. There was practically no control of the rapidly growing automobile traffic.

The department was conducted on the lines laid out for village life, or little more. Saloons ran wide open and the Royal Ark, a saloon keepers' organization, dominated the city government to the ex-Contilnued on Page Column 5. offessome A. T. T.

"I want my doctor," she cried to attendants at Receiving hospital. "I can't remember his name." Her parents were blank on the matter. "Let's see," they said.
