Oct. 30.—(U.R) —American Legion Kupport of law enforcement officers in every state was promised here Sunday by Edward A Hayes, national commandj er, in an address before a Tri-State rally of Legion post officials. Indiana and Ohio legionnaires already have organized "shotgun squads” to aid in apprehension of a band of marauding escaped convicts that has terrorized the two states. Similar action In other states where crime endanger life and property was promised by Hayes. "After our shotgun squads have helped put the bandits behind the bars we are going to support the I courts, do jury service and getter- | ally exercise our citizenship rights | and duty in enforcing the law from , that angle." he said Mandates of the national conI vention at Chicago recently were -outlined by Hayes.

GOVERNORS HEAR FARM DEBT PLAN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Opposition to the farm strike, heartened by promises of governors and an emergency declara tion by President Roosevelt and | his farm administration to aid the farmers in returning to pros- j parity, grew throughout the mid-1 west. Most farmers apparently preferred to await further develop- i ments on those promises. Only in two states—lowa and M'isconsin — had the strike assumed serigus; proportions. In lowa, however, j picketing virtually had ceased. Milo Reno, who as president of; the Holiday Association ordered . farmers to withhold all farm pro- ; ducts from market, resist eviction | from lheir homes and boycott merchants until cost of production i is reached, indicated picketing - would cease while the governors i . are in session. Grains, milk, livestock, and pro-. 1 duce move to market unimpeded i lin all states except Wisconsin, i ' where one picket was slain and 12 | j injured as a result of clashes on | highways. 1 The M'isconsin cooperative mtlk | , pool, claiming a membership of I more than 16,01 k) dairy farmers. j ! announced a strike to become; I effective at midnight tonight The . i Milwaukee associatibn of pr'oduc- 1 I ers announced it will oppose the ; strike order. o Gasoline in Tar Sand Chemists of the University of Al : berta hare developed a hydro gen eration process with which gasoline 1 can be extracted from tar sands of that portion of Canada.

PRICE OF GOLD IN NEW HIGH (CONTINUED FROM,

almost imtneamtreable resources of the participating nations. The President's program, am plifylng his declaration a week ago for a managed currency based on a dollar of unchanging purchasing power, was announced last night. Mr. Roosevelt apparently was unsatisfied with the effect of his domestic gold buying program inaugurated last week with the price of gold run up from $31.36 to $31.32 an ounce. This failed appreciably to depreciate the dollar or raise commodities and the executive summoned his advisers. After a lengthy conference, it was nnnonneed, briefly, but significantly: "The subject under discussion was the immediate setting up of machinery under which the government through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation will be enabled to buy gold in foreign markets.” Conferees included three members of the so-called brain trust. Professors James H. Rogers. George Warren and Henry Bruer?. Also present were ranking government officials. Eugene Black, governor, federal reserve board; Jesse Jones, chairman Reconstruction Finance Corporation: Dean G. Ackeson, under secretary of the treasury; George L. Harrison, governor, Federal reserve bank, New York; Henry Morgenthau. Jr., governor, farm credit administration; J. E. Crane, federal reserve bank. New York; and Fred I. Kent, federal reserve bank, New York. The suddenness of the decision to buy gold in foreign markets stunned Washington. The government proposes to make outside gold purchases, immediately, )r, expressed otherwise, to sell dollars in the world market to depreciate them. It had been believed the President would give his domestic purchase plan a more extensive trial before such a drastic change. Some officials believed the I United States intended to cooperate in foreign exchange control
