"Some legislation should be enacted to aid these unemployed veterans. however. ' asserted the witness. Professor Irving Fisher, the Yale University economist, told the committee the lull would "pay what is not due' to the veterans and 1 “might further impair confidence." 1 Touching on the currency aspects of th.- measure he said the country < is suffering from deflation, but “j.i.s- 1 titled inflation can best be secured by controlled credit expansion " In his statement. Fisher said the Patman bonus bl'.l would increase "po< ket money" while what is needed "is an increase in bank deposits subject to checks "What we need is to bring deposits back by restoring confidence in It.uks and confidence of banks." he said. "This can lie done bycontrolled credit expansion such as federal -reserve banks are now bringing about. Fisher said two things are needed to "get us out of the depression—to raise the price level and to stabilize the price level." He blamed 90 per cent of the de-, pression "on two economic diseases —debts and dollars." o Lion Plays Havoc At Radio Broadcast Boston, April 29—(UI’l-Sev n persons nursed nr no injuries today after King Leo. an SOfLpound lo foot lion, became frightened during his first and undoubtably last radio interview last night and ran wild in Radio station WBZ.

Kelley re ji-i't.-d the plea on the grounds it I was illegal. Territorial law. he -aid. peimits less than 12 jurors to let urn a verdict but all must be unanimous.
