M[R LIEUTENANT : REICHSTAG HEAD Goering Elected as Nazis Score First Victory in Stormy Session. Continued Prom First Page Λ the office traditionally goes to the nom- inee of the largest party, Goering's election was regarded as certain. Goering, captain in the World War, Is called the "diplomat of the brown house," Hitler's headquarters in Mu- nich. In 1918 he commanded the fa- mous flying squadron named after Baron von Richtofen. After that he trained flyers for a •while in Denmark and Sweden. He was Hitler's right-hand man in the "beer cellar putsch" of 1923. He was wounded in that escapade and fled the country to escape imprisonment. He has sat in the Reichstag since 1928. Prussian Diet Opens. The Prussian Diet opened while the Reichstag members were participating in the divine service which customarily precedes the first session. The ministerial benches were empty and the speaker gave the floor first to Heinrich Hirstiefer, who was acting pre- mier when the federal government ejected the Prussian cabinet from of- fice. In a lcng statement Herr Hirtsiefer traced the events which led up to re- moval of the Prussian cabinet and sought to show that the federal gov- ernment had actcd unconstitutionally. The present federal commissionership, headed by Franz Bracht, already has indicated that it regards the Diet as little more than a dummy organization to which the present government is not responsible. Herr Bracht said the other day that he was willing to appear before the Diet, but that If he did so it would be merely a matter of courtesy, since he regards himself responsible only to the President. It was a little past 3 o'clock when Frau Zetkin mounted the rostrum as speaker pro tern and opened the session of the Richstag. She was in the chair by virtue of a custom that the senior member of the House shall open the new session. The National Socialists and their allies have objected strenuously for several days to her selection, characterizing her pres- ence in the chair as an insult to the nation. She is feeble and emaciated now. but still burning with revolutionary fervor. Two women Communists were at her side as she hobbled to the speaker's chair and sounded the gong calling the House to order. Communists Give Salute. Two hundred and thirty Nazis, in full brown-shirt regalia, sat among the 608 members. As Frau Zetkin mounted the rostrum the Communist deputies rose, extended their fists and greeted her ■with shouts of "red front!" Contrary to expectations, the Nazis Ignored this demonstration and the speaker's opening address was met with atony silence. The Nazi hotspurs who had demanded that some means be found to keep a Communist out of the chair were chastened yesterday by Hitler himself, who ordered that they behave and give the Nation an example of discipline. Another reason for their good be- havior lay in the fact that they de- sired to do nothing which would give the chancellor an excuse to present a decree of dissolution before the Reichs- tag even got started. Strong police guards were at all ap- proaches to the Reichstag building and tickets of admission, having been pro- cured weeks in advance, were no longer available. No one without a pass was allowed near the building and those who did get in were obliged to show their tickets five times on the way to the assembly hall. Von Papen-Hitler Breach Widens. On the eve of the opening of the new Reichstag Chancellor vcn Papen flatly told Hitler yesterday he could not take a hand in the government of Germany and Hitler replied in kind last night. After the National Socialist chieftain had broken bread with the chancel- | lor and Defense Minister Kurt von Schleicher the Associated Press learned from an authoritative source that the former had been told it was too late to consider his proposals fer a zeat in the cabinet. In a spirited address to the 230 Na- tional Socialist jnembers of the Reich- stag, by far the strongest bloc, the re- pulsed Fascist leader indicated the breach between him and Von Papen had widened to a point where he could not possibly support or tolerate the 1 present government. Returning violently to the death sen- tences imposed on five of his adherents ( for a political slaying. Hitler said: "So long as the government makes Beuthen possible, the Nazis cannot sup- port it. To me it is not understandable •why five Nazis should be placed under the knife because of one Polish insur- gent who fought against our brothers in Silesia."

Crooner Called Her "the One Woman" at Time of Marriage. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 30 A sour note sounded today in the matrimonial music of the Rudy Vallees. "Yes, there Is a rift. They just can't seem to get along together," said a statement by Hypian Bushel, attcmey, who said he represented both the or- chestra finger-leader and Mrs. Vallpe. The lawyer said Mrs. Vallee, the for- mer Fay Webb, whose father is police chief at Santa Monica, Calif., would leave New York at the end of the week. Reports that her destination would be Reno were without confirmation. Bushel said the domestic difficulties had not reached the point of divorce. He added: No Divorce Move Made. "While neither has started divorce proceedings as yet, I cannot answer for Mrs. Vallee's plans. If I can't patch things up—and I am not sanguine of my ability to do it—divorce will follow. I cannot discuss what the grounds for divorce may be. "They just haven't been hitting it off well. He is away much of the time. He is on tour now. He will return Thursday. And I expect to make a further announcement the following day. "There Is no other woman and no other man in the case." Mrs. Vallee is at the Vallee Apart- ment with her father and mother. The Maine Yankee who sang and saxophoned h's way to stage and radio high place met Miss Webb in 1930 when she was making a talking picture. They were married July 6, the following year, in West Orange, N. J. Called Her the One. At the time of the marriage Vallee was quoted as saying: "Fay is the one woman who can make me happy and whom I can make happy." Seven months ago when reports of an imminent estrangement were circulated, Vallee said: "My love for my wife has grown stronger every day until she has come to mean more to me than my life. I say this unashamedly."

The same effect may be produced even by looking at the cres- cent through smoked glass. Along the New England path a dozen or more stars will be Visible close to the sun at the moment "of totality. Here, it was explained at the Naval Observatory, It is doubtful if any can be seen. The possible exception Is the planet Venus, the earth's nearest neigh- bor in the solar system, which now is a star of the "minus four" magnitude, and would be easily visible if in the right position. A star of the first magnitude is approximately one which appears exceptionally bright, so as to stand out in the night sky. A star of the minus four magnitude would be approximately 100 times brighter. Un- fortunately, Venus is three hours ahead of the sun traveling westward, so that it will either be just on the horizon or just below it at the time when the eclipse reaches its maximum. Mer- cury is only an hour ahead of the sun, but at present is only a little more than first magnitude, so that locally there probably will be too much sunlight to enable it to become visible. Siriu", the dog star, about the brightest of the stars proper, will have sunk Just below the horizon. The only luminous object besides Venus which might possibly be seen in the darkened sky—and it would be a welcome surprise to the astronomers as well as amaturs—would be an unsus- pected comet close to the sun. It might be there, very bright, but so con- cealed by the great luminosity of the sun that there would be no indica- tion of its existence except during an actual eclipse. Appearance of "Notch.'· The local observer, looking at the sun's disc through smoked glass, will see a little dark notch appear promptly in the right edge of the sun, a little above the center. This notch will grow steadily for about an hour until the entire face of the sun is covered except the crescent, comprising about one-tenth of the sun's area on the under side. Then the crescent will begin to grow larger until, approxi- mately an hour later, there will be left only a little dark notch on the left edge of the sun, about a third way up from the center to the top. This will be the moon's farewell gesture to the sun for another year. The character of the light locally at the time of the eclipse's maximum is problematical. It may be just ordinary sunlight, only less of it. On the other hand, there may be abnormal condi- tions in the area of the crescent which will result in a weird light effect—a sort of greenish or grayish light. An- other factor in the quality of the light is the fact that the lit-up landscape I 1 District's Heroes in the World War Compiled by Serjt. L. E.

Recover- ing half an hour later, he attempted [ to go back again to the rescue of the I wounded officer, and again fell sense- less on the field. The valiant conduct of Capt.

For this reason it does not become totally dark even in the area of total- ity. The effect is much greater in the area of partial eclipse. Dancing Crescent Effect. One phenomenon which certainly can be observed here is the dancing crescent effect under a tree with thick foriage. Images of thf sun's crescent will ap- pear all over the ground, due to the light from the narrow band of light coming through the interltices of the leaves. These interstices act some- what like the eye of a camera, pro- ducing inverted images on the ground. The effect can best be observed when the eclipse is well under way. Washington is just out of the area where shadow bands are likely to ap- pear, although there ie a bare possi- bility, if conditions are just right, that some of these may be seen. They are fleeting strips of light and shade which seem to dance across the ground. They are shadows of layers in the atmosphere of different temperatures, made visible when the light comes from the slit- like crescent of the sun. Although most of the astronomical observation is to be centered along the path of totality, the Naval Observatory has set up instruments here for one important piece of work. The progress of the eclipse will be observed through three different instruments, operating simultaneously—a 12-inch and a 5-inch telescope and a photoheliograph. Through the 5-inch telescope fixed on the sun an observer will make a visual observation of the exact mo- ment the eclipse begins and rigidly time observations of various points in its progress. The 12-inch telescope will not be used for direct visual observa- tions, but instead the image of the sun will be projected through it, much en- larged, upon a screen. Two observers will stand beside this screen. As soon as the dark notch in the sun's edge becomes visible on the enlarged image one will signal to the other, and simul- taneously each will make a dot, one at each end of the notch. These simul- taneous markings will be repeated from moment to moment as the darkened area grows larger. This will result in a graphical representation of the prog- ress of the eclipse. With the photo- heliograph a series of photographs will be taken, recording almost continu- ously the progress of the eclipse. Three Records to Be Made. Thus the Naval Observatory will have three carefully timed records of what actually happens in the meridian of Washington—one visual, one graphi- cal and one photographic—which can be checked against each other and against the predictions which have been made months in advance. The main Naval Observatory party, consisting of about 20 men, will be at Limerick, Me. In the party will be six astronomers and naval officers from the observatory, together with a group of enlisted men, who will aid in the setting up and operation of the instru- ments. The Georgetown University party Is at Fryeburg, Me., in charge of Dr. Paul A. McNally. Another group of Washington ob- servers. sent out by Science Service, will make photographs of the progress of the eclipse from the summit of Mount Washington, highest point in the path of totality, which has been passed over by other institutions because of the hazard of bad weather. WEATHER MAY BE FAIR. PORTLAND, ME., August 30 (IP).— The Portland station of the United States Weatber Bureau today gave the ho&t of scientists and laymen gathered in this vicinity to observe tomorrow's total eclipse of the sun about an even hope for fair weather and good visibil- ity. Partly cloudy, with moderate winds shifting from north to southwest, was the official forecast for Wednesday. The weather observers here said showers which fell yesterday in On- tario were headed this way. There was a possibility, they said, that Portland would be on the edge of the fair weather area at the time of the eclipse, but they were less optimistic about Fryeburg and Conway, points in the center of the path of totality, where most of the scientists have set up their equipment. CHEESE GULDEN'S ^MU5tard^· HARRISON DEIS NORMAN ASKS LOAN Statement of New York Fed- eral Reserve Accepted as Authoritative. By the Associated Press. LONDON. August 30.—The cmphatlc denial by George L. Harrison, governor of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, of reports that Montagu Norman Is In America to negotiate an International loan is accepted In official and business circles here as authoritative. No responsible source in London has said the objective of Mr. Norman's visit to New York is a $3,500,000,000 loan for liquidation of war debts and reparations. It has been pointed out that reparations already have been liquidated. Opinion in London is that the Amer- ican visit of the governor of the Bank | of England has received an amount of publicity out of all proportion to its significance. SPECULATION IS RIFE. Bankers Term Rumors "Much Ado About Nothing." NEW YORK, August 30 (JP).—Spec- ulation over the visit here of Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of Eng- land. reached fever heat yesterday on two continents, but drew from leading banking authorities the description of being much ado about nothing. Widespread reports were circulated stating the governor of the English bank had held a conference with George L. Harrison, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, ana other leading American bankers on war debts, the obtaining of a huge American loan by the Bank of Eng- land, an international campaign to ad- vance commodity prices, a possible re- turn by England to the gold standard and other subjects of lar-reachlng im- portance. Gov. Harrison, who until today had kept in the background, so far as news- paper inquiries into the Norman visit were concerned, said emphatically the English banker had come to New York solely to pay an informal visit and had done so at Gov. Harrison's request. Gov. Harrison emphatically denied that war debts had been discussed during this visit, and that the question of a loan had been mentioned, either directly or indirectly. Bankers stated, however, that the Norman visit had unquestionably helped to provide a better mutual un- derstanding of the financial problems faced by England and the United States. In explanation of Gov. Norman's visit to the United States at this time it has been said he wanted to crowd in a brief vacation before the Summer end- ed. He had received a request from Mrs. John Markoe, now 82 years old. who had befriended him in his youth, to-visit her. She now is living in or near Bar Harbor, Me. RETURNS TO BAR HARBOR.

At the Summer home of Mrs. Johft Markoe, where he is a guest, it was said he would be here for several days. While In New York he was the guest of Gov. Harrison. Except for a visit to the tower of the Empire State Build- ing the two bankers did not appear in public, and Gov. Norman had little op- portunity to see or talk with any one else, as had been rumored. State Department officials said Gov. Norman had not discussed reparations or debts with any Department of State officers on his trip here. BRITAIN TO SEEK NEW CONVERSION OF BONDS Plan Affecting £153,222,378 of Treasury Obligations to Be Announced Tonight. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 30—Encouraged by the success of the 5r per cent war loan conversion to a lower rate, the British government will announce tonight a scheme to convert treasury bonds to- taling £153,222,376 in a similar manner. The financing will involve the 4',ί per cent Treasuries, series 1932-34, and the 4'/2 war loans series 1925-45. The total is equivalent currently to $530,- 149,420. The details of the plan, including the amount by which the Interest will be scaled down, will be Issued tonight. It is believed the scheme will be along the same lines as the one con- verting the 5 per cent war loan bonds, which effected a saving of £1,500,000 in Interest annually.

The American Cotton Co-operative Association and the Cotton Stabiliza- tion Corporation requested the loan with Farm Board approval, but under differ- ent terms from those which the Recon- struction Corporation specified in giving its approval. Only Saturday the Farm Board said in a letter to Gov. Murray of Oklahoma that there had been no change in its policy to dispose of 650,000 bales of cot- ton during the current year. Gov.

M[R LIEUTENANT : REICHSTAG HEAD Goering Elected as Nazis

Score First Victory in

Stormy Session.

• Continued Prom First Page Λ

the office traditionally goes to the nom-

inee of the largest party, Goering's election was regarded as certain.

Goering, captain in the World War, Is called the "diplomat of the brown house," Hitler's headquarters in Mu- nich. In 1918 he commanded the fa- mous flying squadron named after Baron von Richtofen.

After that he trained flyers for a

•while in Denmark and Sweden. He was

Hitler's right-hand man in the "beer cellar putsch" of 1923. He was wounded in that escapade and fled the country to escape imprisonment. He has sat in the Reichstag since 1928.

Prussian Diet Opens. The Prussian Diet opened while the

Reichstag members were participating in the divine service which customarily precedes the first session.

The ministerial benches were empty and the speaker gave the floor first to Heinrich Hirstiefer, who was acting pre- mier when the federal government ejected the Prussian cabinet from of- fice. In a lcng statement Herr Hirtsiefer traced the events which led up to re-

moval of the Prussian cabinet and sought to show that the federal gov- ernment had actcd unconstitutionally.

The present federal commissionership, headed by Franz Bracht, already has indicated that it regards the Diet as little more than a dummy organization to which the present government is not responsible. Herr Bracht said the other day that he was willing to appear before the Diet, but that If he did so it would be merely a matter of courtesy, since he regards himself responsible only to the President.

It was a little past 3 o'clock when Frau Zetkin mounted the rostrum as

speaker pro tern and opened the session of the Richstag.

She was in the chair by virtue of a custom that the senior member of the House shall open the new session. The National Socialists and their allies have objected strenuously for several days to her selection, characterizing her pres- ence in the chair as an insult to the nation.

She is feeble and emaciated now. but still burning with revolutionary fervor. Two women Communists were at her side as she hobbled to the speaker's chair and sounded the gong calling the House to order.

Communists Give Salute. Two hundred and thirty Nazis, in full

brown-shirt regalia, sat among the 608 members. As Frau Zetkin mounted the rostrum the Communist deputies rose, extended their fists and greeted her ■with shouts of "red front!"

Contrary to expectations, the Nazis Ignored this demonstration and the speaker's opening address was met with atony silence.

The Nazi hotspurs who had demanded that some means be found to keep a

Communist out of the chair were

chastened yesterday by Hitler himself, who ordered that they behave and give the Nation an example of discipline.

Another reason for their good be- havior lay in the fact that they de- sired to do nothing which would give the chancellor an excuse to present a

decree of dissolution before the Reichs- tag even got started.

Strong police guards were at all ap- proaches to the Reichstag building and tickets of admission, having been pro- cured weeks in advance, were no longer available. No one without a pass was

allowed near the building and those who did get in were obliged to show their tickets five times on the way to the assembly hall.

Von Papen-Hitler Breach Widens. On the eve of the opening of the new

Reichstag Chancellor vcn Papen flatly told Hitler yesterday he could not take a hand in the government of Germany and Hitler replied in kind last night.

After the National Socialist chieftain had broken bread with the chancel-

| lor and Defense Minister Kurt von Schleicher the Associated Press learned from an authoritative source that the former had been told it was too late to consider his proposals fer a zeat in the cabinet.

In a spirited address to the 230 Na- tional Socialist jnembers of the Reich- stag, by far the strongest bloc, the re-

pulsed Fascist leader indicated the breach between him and Von Papen had widened to a point where he could not possibly support or tolerate the

1 present government. Returning violently to the death sen-

tences imposed on five of his adherents ( for a political slaying. Hitler said:

"So long as the government makes Beuthen possible, the Nazis cannot sup- port it. To me it is not understandable •why five Nazis should be placed under the knife because of one Polish insur- gent who fought against our brothers in Silesia."

RUDY VALLEE AND WIFE PART, WITH DIVORCE BELIEVED LIKELY

"Just Can't Seem to Get

Along Together," Says Attorney.

Crooner Called Her "the One

Woman" at Time of

Marriage.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 30 — A sour note

sounded today in the matrimonial music of the Rudy Vallees.

"Yes, there Is a rift. They just can't seem to get along together," said a statement by Hypian Bushel, attcmey, who said he represented both the or- chestra finger-leader and Mrs. Vallpe.

The lawyer said Mrs. Vallee, the for- mer Fay Webb, whose father is police chief at Santa Monica, Calif., would leave New York at the end of the week. Reports that her destination would be Reno were without confirmation. Bushel said the domestic difficulties had not reached the point of divorce. He added:

No Divorce Move Made. "While neither has started divorce

proceedings as yet, I cannot answer for Mrs. Vallee's plans. If I can't patch things up—and I am not sanguine of my ability to do it—divorce will follow. I cannot discuss what the grounds for divorce may be.

"They just haven't been hitting it off well. He is away much of the time. He is on tour now. He will return Thursday. And I expect to make a further announcement the following day.

"There Is no other woman and no other man in the case."

Mrs. Vallee is at the Vallee Apart- ment with her father and mother.

The Maine Yankee who sang and saxophoned h's way to stage and radio high place met Miss Webb in 1930 when she was making a talking picture. They were married July 6, the following year, in West Orange, N. J.

Called Her the One. At the time of the marriage Vallee

was quoted as saying: "Fay is the one woman who can

make me happy and whom I can make happy."

Seven months ago when reports of an imminent estrangement were circulated, Vallee said:

"My love for my wife has grown stronger every day until she has come to mean more to me than my life. I say this unashamedly."

Vallee, one-time soda clerk In a Maine village, later a saxophone player in various orchestras and finally the head of his own band and r'dely known for his songs through the me^i-

pliclty of blue crescents dancing around everywhere. The same effect may be produced even by looking at the cres- cent through smoked glass.

Along the New England path a dozen or more stars will be Visible close to the sun at the moment "of totality. Here, it was explained at the Naval Observatory, It is doubtful if any can be seen. The possible exception Is the planet Venus, the earth's nearest neigh- bor in the solar system, which now is a star of the "minus four" magnitude, and would be easily visible if in the right position. A star of the first magnitude is approximately one which appears exceptionally bright, so as to stand out in the night sky. A star of the minus four magnitude would be approximately 100 times brighter. Un- fortunately, Venus is three hours ahead of the sun traveling westward, so that it will either be just on the horizon or just below it at the time when the eclipse reaches its maximum. Mer- cury is only an hour ahead of the sun, but at present is only a little more than first magnitude, so that locally there probably will be too much sunlight to enable it to become visible. Siriu", the dog star, about the brightest of the stars proper, will have sunk Just below the horizon.

The only luminous object besides Venus which might possibly be seen in the darkened sky—and it would be a welcome surprise to the astronomers as well as amaturs—would be an unsus- pected comet close to the sun. It might be there, very bright, but so con- cealed by the great luminosity of the sun that there would be no indica- tion of its existence except during an actual eclipse.

Appearance of "Notch.'· The local observer, looking at the

sun's disc through smoked glass, will see a little dark notch appear promptly in the right edge of the sun, a little above the center. This notch will grow steadily for about an hour until the entire face of the sun is covered except the crescent, comprising about one-tenth of the sun's area on the under side. Then the crescent will begin to grow larger until, approxi- mately an hour later, there will be left only a little dark notch on the left edge of the sun, about a third way up from the center to the top. This will be the moon's farewell gesture to the sun for another year.

The character of the light locally at the time of the eclipse's maximum is problematical. It may be just ordinary sunlight, only less of it. On the other hand, there may be abnormal condi- tions in the area of the crescent which will result in a weird light effect—a sort of greenish or grayish light. An- other factor in the quality of the light is the fact that the lit-up landscape

on both sides reflects light from «oil and vegetation into the darkened area. For this reason it does not become totally dark even in the area of total- ity. The effect is much greater in the area of partial eclipse.

Dancing Crescent Effect. One phenomenon which certainly can

be observed here is the dancing crescent effect under a tree with thick foriage. Images of thf sun's crescent will ap- pear all over the ground, due to the light from the narrow band of light coming through the interltices of the leaves. These interstices act some- what like the eye of a camera, pro- ducing inverted images on the ground. The effect can best be observed when the eclipse is well under way.

Washington is just out of the area where shadow bands are likely to ap- pear, although there ie a bare possi- bility, if conditions are just right, that some of these may be seen. They are

fleeting strips of light and shade which seem to dance across the ground. They are shadows of layers in the atmosphere of different temperatures, made visible when the light comes from the slit- like crescent of the sun.

Although most of the astronomical observation is to be centered along the path of totality, the Naval Observatory has set up instruments here for one important piece of work. The progress of the eclipse will be observed through three different instruments, operating simultaneously—a 12-inch and a 5-inch telescope and a photoheliograph.

Through the 5-inch telescope fixed on the sun an observer will make a visual observation of the exact mo- ment the eclipse begins and rigidly time observations of various points in its progress. The 12-inch telescope will not be used for direct visual observa- tions, but instead the image of the sun will be projected through it, much en- larged, upon a screen. Two observers will stand beside this screen. As soon as the dark notch in the sun's edge becomes visible on the enlarged image one will signal to the other, and simul- taneously each will make a dot, one at each end of the notch. These simul- taneous markings will be repeated from moment to moment as the darkened area grows larger. This will result in a graphical representation of the prog- ress of the eclipse. With the photo- heliograph a series of photographs will be taken, recording almost continu- ously the progress of the eclipse.

Three Records to Be Made. Thus the Naval Observatory will have

three carefully timed records of what actually happens in the meridian of Washington—one visual, one graphi- cal and one photographic—which can be checked against each other and against the predictions which have been made months in advance.

The main Naval Observatory party, consisting of about 20 men, will be at Limerick, Me. In the party will be six astronomers and naval officers from the observatory, together with a group of enlisted men, who will aid in the setting up and operation of the instru- ments.

The Georgetown University party Is at Fryeburg, Me., in charge of Dr. Paul A. McNally.

Another group of Washington ob- servers. sent out by Science Service, will make photographs of the progress of the eclipse from the summit of Mount Washington, highest point in the path of totality, which has been passed over by other institutions because of the hazard of bad weather.

WEATHER MAY BE FAIR.

PORTLAND, ME., August 30 (IP).— The Portland station of the United States Weatber Bureau today gave the ho&t of scientists and laymen gathered in this vicinity to observe tomorrow's total eclipse of the sun about an even hope for fair weather and good visibil- ity. Partly cloudy, with moderate winds shifting from north to southwest, was the official forecast for Wednesday.

The weather observers here said showers which fell yesterday in On- tario were headed this way. There was a possibility, they said, that Portland would be on the edge of the fair weather area at the time of the eclipse, but they were less optimistic about Fryeburg and Conway, points in the center of the path of totality, where most of the scientists have set up their equipment.

HARRISON DEIS NORMAN ASKS LOAN Statement of New York Fed-

eral Reserve Accepted as Authoritative.

• By the Associated Press.

LONDON. August 30.—The cmphatlc denial by George L. Harrison, governor of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, of reports that Montagu Norman Is In America to negotiate an International loan is accepted In official and business circles here as authoritative.

No responsible source in London has said the objective of Mr. Norman's visit to New York is a $3,500,000,000 loan for liquidation of war debts and reparations. It has been pointed out that reparations already have been liquidated.

Opinion in London is that the Amer- ican visit of the governor of the Bank | of England has received an amount of publicity out of all proportion to its significance.

SPECULATION IS RIFE.

Bankers Term Rumors "Much Ado About Nothing."

NEW YORK, August 30 (JP).—Spec- ulation over the visit here of Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of Eng- land. reached fever heat yesterday on two continents, but drew from leading banking authorities the description of being much ado about nothing.

Widespread reports were circulated stating the governor of the English bank had held a conference with George L. Harrison, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, ana other leading American bankers on war debts, the obtaining of a huge American loan by the Bank of Eng- land, an international campaign to ad- vance commodity prices, a possible re- turn by England to the gold standard and other subjects of lar-reachlng im- portance.

Gov. Harrison, who until today had kept in the background, so far as news-

paper inquiries into the Norman visit were concerned, said emphatically the English banker had come to New York solely to pay an informal visit and had done so at Gov. Harrison's request.

Gov. Harrison emphatically denied that war debts had been discussed during this visit, and that the question of a loan had been mentioned, either directly or indirectly.

Bankers stated, however, that the Norman visit had unquestionably helped to provide a better mutual un-

derstanding of the financial problems faced by England and the United States.

In explanation of Gov. Norman's visit to the United States at this time it has been said he wanted to crowd in a brief vacation before the Summer end- ed. He had received a request from Mrs. John Markoe, now 82 years old. who had befriended him in his youth, to-visit her. She now is living in or near Bar Harbor, Me.

RETURNS TO BAR HARBOR.

Norman Spends Week End at Harrison's Home.

BAR HARBOR, Me.. August 30 OP). —Montagu Norman, governor oi the Bank of England, returned here yester- day after a week end visit In New York. At the Summer home of Mrs. Johft Markoe, where he is a guest, it was said he would be here for several days.

While In New York he was the guest of Gov. Harrison. Except for a visit to the tower of the Empire State Build- ing the two bankers did not appear in public, and Gov. Norman had little op- portunity to see or talk with any one else, as had been rumored.

State Department officials said Gov. Norman had not discussed reparations or debts with any Department of State officers on his trip here.

BRITAIN TO SEEK NEW CONVERSION OF BONDS

Treasury Obligations to Be

Announced Tonight. By the Associated Press.

LONDON, August 30—Encouraged by the success of the 5r per cent war loan conversion to a lower rate, the British government will announce tonight a scheme to convert treasury bonds to- taling £153,222,376 in a similar manner.

The financing will involve the 4',ί per cent Treasuries, series 1932-34, and the 4'/2 war loans series 1925-45. The total is equivalent currently to $530,- 149,420.

The details of the plan, including the amount by which the Interest will be scaled down, will be Issued tonight.

It is believed the scheme will be along the same lines as the one con- verting the 5 per cent war loan bonds, which effected a saving of £1,500,000 in Interest annually.

AGENCIES AT ODDS OVER COTTON LOAN

Farm Board Refuses to Discuss

H. F. C. Plan for $50,000,000 Advance.

ι Silence today surrounded the $50.000,-

000 which Jesse H. Jones, a director of the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion. announced last night in an ad- dress in the National Radio Forum, ar-

ranged by The Evening Star, had been made available to keep Government controlled cotton off the market until 1933.

Farm Board officials declined to dis- cuis the proposed loan In any way, but it was strongly indicated there that the board and the Reconstruction Corpora- tion were not in fuU agreement con-

cerning the loan. The American Cotton Co-operative

Association and the Cotton Stabiliza- tion Corporation requested the loan with Farm Board approval, but under differ- ent terms from those which the Recon- struction Corporation specified in giving its approval.

Only Saturday the Farm Board said in a letter to Gov. Murray of Oklahoma that there had been no change in its policy to dispose of 650,000 bales of cot- ton during the current year. Gov. Murray had suggested that by with- holding the stabilization supplies prices would be Increased.

POLICEMEN AWAIT ACTION OE HOOVER

President Must Approve Pro- motion of Mansfield and

Six Others.

Πι ρ promotion of Lieut. Richard Mansfield of the Detective Bureau and six other officers is expected to be ap- proved by President Hoover within the next few days.

The names of the seven men recom- mended for promotion are now before the President, who, under the pro- visions of the economy act, must sanc- tion appointment or promotion of all Federal or District employes.

Recommended by Board. The elevation of Lieut. Mansfield and

six other officers was recommended to the President several days ago by the District Personnel Board at the re- quest cf Inspector E. W. Brown, acting superintendent of police in the absence of Brig, Gen. Pelham D. Glassford.

Lieut. Mansfield will be made a cap- tain to succeed Michael Raedy, who re- tired June 1 as commander of the ninth precinct. The names of the other offi- cers to be advanced were not disclosed. Pour of them are to be made sergeants and two lieutenants. One of the new

sergeantcies will go to the Woman's Bureau, due to the promotion several months ago of Rhoda Milliken, who was made a lieutenant following the re- tirement of Lieut. Mina C. Van Winkle.

Notified Last May. Police officials made no secret of

their plans to promote Lieut. Mans- field. Early in May he was notified by

the Civil Service Commission of the certification of his eligibility for ad- vancement.

The delay in carrying out the plans. It was said was due to the time requir- ed for the Civil Service Commission to establish the elibigility of some of the other officers slated for advancement. It was the desire of the department to make all seven promotions at one time.
