In official circles tonight if the

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.

her with harm if she did not get it
and leave it at a named spot. 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. Maine Mav
20. (AP) It was "Natives Day'
at the summer home of Ambas
sador Dwight W. Morrow today.
Two scored residents of this little
island called at the estate and
were permitted to view the plane
in whichrColonel Charles A. Lind
berg, his fiancee, Anne Morrow,
and members of her family came
here last Saturday.
The colonel, shortly before
noon, made several visits to the
amphibian which was "harbored"
about 200 feet from the house.
He busied himself testing stay,
wires, uncovering the motor and
cleaning out the interior of the
cabin. He paid not attention to
the children and daults who had
been passed by the guards after it
was determined they were island
ers.
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.
