Plays Santa Claas In Italian Debt Pact, Says Howell, Urging a Delay Washington, March 29 (P) The time has come for America, tu "ab dicate tho part of Santa Claus to Europe," Senator Howell, Republi can, -Nebraska, told the Senate today in opposing ratification of the Italian debt settlement. Every debt argreement recommended thus far by the American Debt Commission, be said, provides for cancellation of the principal. In addition to canceling the prin cipal of $2,160,151,000 owed by Italy, he contended, the agreement Ini poses on the American people an annual deficit In Interest of $67,067,000, representing the difference between the 1.1 percent to be paid bv Italv and the 4.25 percent rate authorized by Congress, and paid on Liberty bonds. Cites Huge Loss to IT. S.

Ttevlewlng the 12 funding agreements negotiated by the Commission, Involving $7,739,443,000, he said that "cancelation" of this amount of principal and an annual interest deflrit of $105,617,000 for 62 years, with Interest at Vj percent compounded annually on this deficit, give an apparent loss to the American people of $30,1 88,536,000 on account of these transactions. Charging that the echo of the last gun fired in the Great War scarcely had died away when a project for cancellation of every one of our war debts was Initiated, he declared It "clasped bands with our Intrrna-Monal bankers" and. "remarkable as It may seem, actually triumphed" In the settlement of the British debt. None Can See 62 Tears Ahead. This was Justified, he said, with "the new high-sounding phrase of ability to pay," but when the theory would have been favorable to he United States In other dubt negotiations It was forgotten.

Protesting ugalnst "the determination now as to whether these debts should be cancelled at the end of 2 years." he asserted that "no living man can see wha. 62 yeurs may bring forth." The American people have been lulled Into a state of complaisance by assurance that the principal of the foreign loans Is to be paid, hi continued, while the "prejudice of people of the debtor nations niuilnsl Americans has been confirmed by the very same assurances, that they must pay their great debts to us." Of the n-itlons which have negotiated he said, "every one Is relieved of ultimate payments by cancellation except, nine i una. "Our island neighbor was too hasty in rettllng her debt of hi added. "Hhe should have waited until Great lirltaln had plaved her trumps." He held that Great Britain hid obtained fir better terms front Italv than the United States, since the Hrltlsh are to have 1 14.000 In gold, belonging to Italy, as security and will bgln to get an average of between $32,000,000 and I24.Oimi.OoO annually almost Immediately, whereas In the American agreement, "the large payments are way at the other end of the scale."

Dr. NEWELL DWGHT HLLiS All of Remaining Crime Commission Measures Placed on Order of Final Passage in State Senate, and AH but One in House. By HOWARD A. SHIEBiKR. (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Albany, larch 30 The Senate to-flay passed the first of the Jlaumes Commission bills and advanced all the others to order of final passage.

The bill passed sets up a central bureau of identification and criminal records. At the same time the Assembly advanced all the Baumes bills save one to the order of final passage. The bill which was not advanced has to lo with the abolition of commutation and compensation. Assemblyman Goodrich held It up because he lias a similar bill of his own. Wll for Iong Terms for Fences." 'Advancement of the bills followed an announcement by the Assembly minority leader Maurice Bloch that Tammany Hull would support the Commission report Increase from 5 to 20 years In the amount of sentence to be given all jra-ceivers of stolen poods Is provided in new bill by Assomblyman Ja-rcob It.

Livingston of the 22d A. D. -Kings today. Livingston said he got the idea for 'this bill in an Eagle editorial. Of equal importance with the Baumes bills Is the advancement of the drastic Esmond pistol bill to order of final passage in the Assembly.

This is the bll 1 which will make it practically Impossible lo buy a revolver In this State, save through the Police Department. J.t goes even further than the Baumes pistol bill. It forbids the advertising for sale of revolvers or other firearms. I'nder Its provisions a fiat five years will be added to the sentence of every criminal who has a gun In his possession during the commission of a crime. This five years will be added to his sentence regardless of whether or not ha used the gun.

Bloch Announce Lineup. Announcement that Tammany Hall had lined up behind the Baumes bills v. as made by Assembly Minority Leader Maurice Bloch. Bloch said his party would support its District Attorney and Police Cotnmlsa'oner in New York City Joab Banton and McLaughlin both of whom are advocating the recommendations of the Baumes report. Leader Bloch expressed doubt as 1o only one of the bills, the one compelling defendants to take the stand or be presumed guilty.

Some o. the best legal minds In Tammany Hall consider this hill unconstitutional. Republican lawyers do not take the same view nf this bill as the Tammany crowd. Assemblyman Kdwan E. Fay of the 17th A.

These bills go a long way toward a solution of the crime problem." said Fay. "One thing I believe ought to be done at once: King Sing ought to be made lens like a college and more like a Jnll. The gangsters now look upon a term up the river as more or less of a vacation or a little course In college. If the place was transformed Into an honest-to-good-ness Jail the crooks would be more concerned with the consequences of crime." Assemblyman Kmory F.

Drekman 'of the list A. also a Republican lawyer, favors the Baumes report and will vote for all the bills. While both houses were pushing the Rauines bills toward enactment a delegation appeared to speak at a public hearing on the Nlcoll-Moore hill abolishing capital punishment. Warden l.ewis K.
