Allies llnitei In Financial War Plan

PARIS. Dec. 12 —-(AlP) —Great Britain and France disclosed today af ‘lalliancetolsst uni-ii eix months after the war ends.

This economic partnership, hail- ed by a French finance ministry spokesman as "the strongest accord in history between two govern- ments.” was announced in Paris and London at the moment peqaie of the allied nations were hearing that Britidi troops had won their first direct engagement on the west- ern front.

Mllitary desrpatches said Britons threw back three waves of German troops Sunday in an attack south of Buschdorf, in the Moselle Valley region. The German losses were re-

d to have been severe. ‘The tish command did not announce any losses.

The financial accord was signed Dec. 4. when sir John Simon, chan- cellor of the exohequer, was in Paris and was announced today by Sir John in London and by the French ganunce minster, Paul Reynaud, in

ris.

Not only d’d the two nations a- gree to accept each others money at face value without the necessity of transferring gold stocks to cover their exchange operations but henceforth London and Paris will share many common war expendit- ures and will absorb as partners the drains on their respective war re- serves “ln, ld and in dollars."

They wrl act as one in purchas-

g war materials, either at home or abroad, and in controlling prices.

Rates of the franc and the und sterling will be stabilized un i1 six months after the end of the war.

On the basis of proportionate na- tional wealth Britain would contrib- ute three fifths to the common war chest and France two fifms.

iioug Fairbanks Dies Suddenly

HOLLYWOOD, Dee. 12—(CP)~_ The irt reel unwound for Douglas Fairbanks today, finish to a mag- nificent career.

The great Doug-he of the thrill- ing screen acrobatics and the once- great real-life romance-died un- elfpwbfidly at his Santa Monica Beach home of a heart attack. He was 55.

Tonight his family was still too stunned to think or funeral plans. Friends said the body probably would be placed in Forest Lawn Cemetery, where lie the remains of Jean Harlow, Will Rogers and many other Hollywood celebrities.

Douglas Fairbanks Jr., the actor's son. remained with the grief-strick- en widow, the former Indy Sylvia Ashley, throughout the day. She was prostraied.

In Chicago, Mary Pickford, the Toronto girl who became “Ameri- ca's Sweetheart" and Fairbanks’ second wife, said his death brought "a deep sorrow to his family and friends but I am sure it will prove a. consolation to us all to recall the joy and the glorious spirit of ad- venture that he gave to the world ...it is impossible to believe that that vibrant and gay spirit could ever perish.” She was in Chicrgo for a visit with her husband. orchestra leader Charles (Buddy) Rogers.

Throughout the film colony there was sadness. Comedian Charles Chaplin long a close friend and neighbor. was "too overcome with grief to make any comment.’

Fairbanksruddy and active as ai- ways. was part of the mass of 103,- 000 cheering fans at a college football game last Saturday—-Doug Jrfs 32nd birthday. Monday he had a slight heart twinge His physician ordered him to bed for a week's rest. But no one believed his indis- positiou to be serious,

Fairbanks had been in retirement from screen work for six years, but there was no retirement as far at; other activity went. He and Mrs. Fairbanks travelled widely enter- tain/ed frequentfy and kept up many interests. Fairbanks kept to a. rigid gymnastic schedule which includ- ed a daily dip in his outdoor swim- mlng pool.

ticn of the lviaginot line artillery.

(The Associated Press reported ' earlier in the day that military dis- patches from the front said Brit- ish troops. newly installed in a sec- ticn of the Maginot line, repulsed with hand grenades an attack Sunday by ‘three sections of G_er- man troops south of Buschaorf near the Moselle Valley.

Tonight's general staff com- munique reported "lively engage- ments" in this sectonwith artillery fire. “The integrity of our positions was maintained," the communique said.

Today's fighting was the heav- iest slnce Nov. 2'7. It was preced- led by intensive slaeliing from Ger- =man positions in the Warndt For- est.
