INACTIVE GOLD FUND IS LOWER Treasury Department Reports First Decrease In Supply Washington. July 22—<U.R>—For the first time in seven months, the treasury reported today that lt« inactive g'-Jd fund, accumulated under the sterilization program designed to prevent undue credit Inflation, had declined $41,778,788. Until today, every previous treas- ' ury statement since the sterilization program was inaugurated last December had shown an increase in the inactive gold fund. The fund now totals $1,170,821,774. The decline announced today, officials explained, resulted from a new monetary agreement recently Inaugurated with other nations, par ticu'arly Brazil and China. Under the Chinese agreement, Amerlcan gold is used to purchase Chinese silver and is stored in American 'banks to the credit of the fhineee government. The Brazilian agreemen* provid ed that up to $60,000,000 in gold could be eent to Brazil in exchange for dollar balances for use in trade.

Mr. and Mrs. Ray Umpleby and e .-n Clifford of Geneva and Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Johnson attended the circus in Fort Wayne last evening. • Dr. and Mrs. Ben Duke and daughter Barbara left last evening for a several weeks motor trip in the west. Marion Baker, of Fort Wayne and Burl Hunt, of this city, are on a ten-day vacation at Oden, Michigan.

QUIET RESTORED I CONTINUED FROM FAOE ONE) it several times. It is valuable because it is the end of a dominant east and west ridge and is take-off point for flanking attacks. Villafranca Del Castillo is of great importance to the nationalists because if they lost it finally the flank of their entire force in the Casa De Campo, the great park west of Madrid, would be exposed. Government airplanes bombed Villafranca Del Castillo today and the woods outside because several thousands of nationalists were concentrated there to prevent an attack. The loyalists believed, from an almost unbroken silence on the front nearest Madrid, that the nationalist positions there had been weakened seriously to provide men for the great battle farther west. PEACE HOPES TWim PAGE ONE) formula was being worked out which will enable Sung and Nanking to accept a “local” settlement of the North China quarrel. If this is true, it means that Sung’s council — which long has been semi-autonomous — will become virtually independent of Nanking and will be free to “cooperate" with the Japanese army in Hopei and Chahar provinces without interference. Japanese expected that the crisis will work itself out slowly along these lines: Sung and his associates will buyoff the bitterly anti-Japanese divisions of the old Manchurian armies now stationed in North China and transfer them to regions outside the Japanese sphere of influence. The Hopei-Chahar council will be continued in power but will agree to co-operate closely with the Japanese, assuring a continuation of Japan’s military and economic penetration of North China. The central government in Nanking will permit the northern provinces to go by default. It will not admit that it has accepted a solution which impairs its sovereignty in North China but equally it will not attempt to expel the Japanese soldiers now in control of ke areas in the northern regions by force. Flock to Concessions Tientsin, July 22— (U.R) —Thousands of Chinese flocked into the British and French concessions today in fear of an early declaration of war by Japan upon China. A direct British-Japanese clash was threatened over British refusal to surrender a number of Chinese coolies, “commandeered”

by the Japanese army, who escaped their captors und reached the safety of the British concession here. The situation, after a day in which peace moves were promising, again assumed a most ugly aspect. This time not only Chinese but foreigners were involved Japanese army authorities suddenly hardened their attitude, for reasons so fur not apparent. They curtly ordered the International racing club to discontinue its races at the club course south of Tientsin on the ground that the Japanese army needed the course for "military purposes.” They continued In possession of the main Tientsin city post office which they had seised, and continued to censor all mall. O ORIGINAL SUPREME iCONTINUEp I» HOM FAGK ONK) against such a plan. "The measure will be sent back to the judiciary committee with instruction to report back within ten days with a bill ca'l'ng for reforms In the lower courts.” McCarran said the changes would be purely “procedural” and w-.vuld not in any way affect the high tribunal: or will the new bill provide for a “proctor"’ or for a group of “roving" judges as proposed in the original bill.
