PAGE. TWO REPARATIONS IETJPEFOL Optimistic Tone Pervades Conference Following Note From U. S. (Continued from Pag 1.) tlon was considered a possibility In official circles tonight if the other allies agree to make a sim ilar cut In their claims. Official Announcement . Kxtremeljr Guarded The decisions of the entire rep arations problem which have so far been reached by governnent officials, Including those at '.!ie conference President HooTer r.eld Sunday night with executive de partment officials and congres sional leaders, have, merely been In the nature of anticipating ques tions which will necessitate ihe shaping of a policy by the Amer ican government. It was emphasized In high gov ernment circles today therj hrw so far been no change in the American policy on this ques on of reparations. The attitude which H Is believed thl3 government would take in the event the anti cipated questions arise has been made known to the American representatives, who do not rep resent the Washington govern ment officially, at the meeting of the experts on reparations in Paris. V. H. Willing to Go As Far As Others At present the principal deci sion made by officials here has been that, if the other allied na tions, agree to reduce their claims for occupation cost3 of their.arm les on the Rhine, this government will probably feel called upon to do likewise. The amount of this reduction is not known, but Sec retary Stimson of the state de Ttortmont sneeested tlfat conclu sions might be drawn from the fact that the other allies have approximately 10 per cent of their claims still outstanding. j Only about 30 per cent of the American claims for army cost ; have been paid Jut Secretary ! Stimson intimated that the United j States would be milling to cancel; a proportionate amount of Us. outstanding claim of 5203.667. 110.75 If the other allies should see fit to cancel a part of theirs. Reduction of German , Taj-ments Acceptable J In the other category of. American claims against Ger many, those included in awards of the mixed claims commission and amounting on September 1. 1928, to $143,777,734.38, the sec retary said the general feeling was that a reduction of Ger many's annual payments would be acceptable to the United States if the other nations agreed to such a cut. and provided the per cent age of distribution among the al lied and associated powers re mains the same. He emphasized, howere, that in this category, there would be no reduction in the total but that the amounts collected annually by each coun try would be smaller and the payments would be spread over a longer period of years. Secretary Stimson tdded that from the present reports the ex perts would probably make rec ommendations on bo'h the total amount Germany will be asked to pay and- on the amount ot each annnal payment, thu3 establish ing a definite length of time over which the payments would extend. Should the committee recom mend that the amounts Germany la now paying are above its cap acity, he noted that a smaller division of the inms would have to be evolved.

She showed the letter to school auth orities and her family was notifi ed. A guard was assigned to watch over her. A second letter, more scurrilous than the first, describing in de tail the torture she would under go if the money was not forth coming, was received by the girl, the Post will say, it gave detailed instructions as to how the money was to be delivered last Saturday afternoon. When this letter was received an appeal was made by the Morrow family to Ambassador Morrow's former partners in the firm of J. P. Morgan and company and action was taken at Washing ton. Secret service operatives and private detectives were sent to work on the case and guard the girl, the Post will say. Girl Is Removed From School Secretly It was. decided to move her from the school secretly. This was done and her arrival in New York was timed for Colonel Lindbergh's hopoff with other members of the Morrow family. The Post will say that Lindbergh's failure to use his regular landing field at New York and'the secrecy veiling his flight was due to the plot. The Post will say that the im personator of the Morrow girl fol lowed the instructions in the last letter Saturday and left a bundle at the designated spot. Detectives watched but no one came to claim the package. The story will say that the watch was being kept to night in spite of the fact that the authorities believed news of the girl's flight to North Haven with other members of her family frightened the would be kidnap pers. It will say that the guard about the Morrow home is not to keep curiosity seekers away from Col onel Lindbergh and his fiance, Miss Anne Morrow, but to protect the 15 year old student. "ORTH HAVEN.

IJndy and Three Girls Drive Away About noon Lindbergh and the three Morrow sisters drove awav in the motor beach wagon. Anne remained In the front seat with Constance and the flier in the second seat with Elizabeth. In the late afternoon, the cou ple took off on a short flight over Camden and along the Maine coast. Lindbergh made the take-off from the short field which had been converted from a sheep pasture. Experienced fliers had express ed the opinion that snch a take off would be Impossible because of the short runway. If the big six passenger cabin plane failed to raised it would have crashed on the large rocks and stones which are strewn along the beach at low tide. It was the first flight of the craft since the party's arrival on Saturday afternoon. 8TTNT FLYER DiKS PORTLAND, Ore., May 20.- (AP) John Lock wood, aerial stunt flyer, died In a hospital here today after his parachute failed him 200 feet above the ground Sunday during an air circus.
