STORM I'filled Pres* Staff Cor re *nondf nt WARM SPRINGS. Feb. 3.—Presi-dent-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt will leave tonight for Florida to embark on a ten-day cruise which I he expects to leave him rested and j physically fit to shoulder the bur- ' dens of the nation. Isolated alike from office seekers and those who seek to influence his policies. Mr. Roosevelt will combine relaxation in semi-tropic waters with a final check of his tentative ! cabinet list. When he returns he will complete his slate of key appointments, but he will not announce the personnel of his official family until March 2 or 3. The sea trip will start Saturday from Jacksonville, with Vincent Astor as host on the yacht Nourmahal. Cabinet Lineup Forecast Conferences with Judge Robert W. ; Bingham, Louisville, Ky., publisher, j and Professor Raymond I. Moley, j economic adviser, were all that remained on Mr. Roosevelt's schedule today as he prepared to quit the j “Little White House” in the Georgia pine woods, Bingham's presence at Warm Springs was taken to verify reports that he would be appointed ambassador to FYance. Moley came to discuss the general economic situation. Out of the speculation and reports that have come from the conversation on patronage this week between Mr. Roosevelt, James A. Farley. Democratic national chairman; Frank C. Walker, party treasurer, and Edward J. Flynn, New York City leader, observers believe the following cabinet lineup is probable: Senator Cordell Hull, Tennessee, secretary of state. Senator Carter Glass. Virginia, secretary of treasury. Senator Thc-mas J. Walsh, Montana, attorney-general. Miss Francis Perkins, New York, secretary of labor. James A. Farley. New York, post-master-general. Henry Wallace. lowa, secretary of agriculture.

These included Archie McNiel, Democratic national committeeman from Connecticut; Homer Cummings of Connecticut, former Democratic national chairman, and Senator Alben Barkley of Kentucky. The visit to Warm Springs of Robert Dunham of Chicago was looked upon as supporting a report he would be offered an important diplomatic post, possibly the German ambassadorship.

JAPAN ALARMED BY U. S. TREND Russia Recognition Would Be ‘Unfortunate,’ Say Tokio Leaders. Bji Vnilrd Prrxx TOKIO, Feb. 3. The Japanese government was reported today to have learned informally that Presi-dent-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt was considering American recognition of Soviet Russia, and Japanese sources made it clear that such action would be considered “unfortunate” here. Several candidates for United States ambassador to Moscow are being considered, it was reported in diplomatic quarters. The Japanese felt that American recognition of Russia would connote support of Moscow's anti-Japanese policy in Asia. Yosuke Matsuoka. Japanese delegate at Geneva, was understood to have reported to the government that there was little hope for conciliation of the Manchurian dispute, and to have asked instructions regarding withdrawal from the League of Nations. The foreign ministry was understood to have replied that Japan will ignore the application of Paragraph 4. Article XV. but will not decide on withdrawal until the league assembly makes its report.

Inflation Plenty to eat; thousands starving for lack of money to buy food. What is the reason for this fantastic situation? Many contend that our currency is insufficient, and that inflation is necessary to put buying-power in the hands of the people. What is inflation, and how will it operate? It is an operation that has been written about in more big words than almost anything else, chiefly because of its huge scope and complicated results. On Saturday The Times will print the first of several stories by Herbert Little discussing the various forms of inflation, the arguments for and against, and conversion, the immediate action now under way to reduce debt charges in another way. The fourth of Earl Sparling's interesting stories on the history of inflation movements appears today on Page One, Section Two. The fifth, concerning inflation periods in Revolutionary and Civil war days and in the decade after the war of the rebellion, will appear Saturday.

The Governor received the bill for signature early this afternoon. In marked contrast to its stormy passage in the senate Thursday, the administration ripper went smoothly through the house, almost without comment. Only the most formal of protests was registered, with Representative H. H. Evans (Rep., Newcastle), minority floor leader, again acting as the administration heckler. Warns of “Folly” “I don’t want to take any more of the house's time fighting this, bill,” said Evans. “We've done all we could to save you from your folly, so go ahead and pass it. Two years from now, we’ll talk about it. Dissenting votes were cast by Representative William C. Babcock Jr., V/ilfred W. Wingate. Oran W. Cromer, Hobart Creighton, H. H. Evans, Fred Goddard, J. Blair Mills, Republican, Justin A. Roberts and Eugene Martin, Sam Benz, John F. Cory and Fred Galloway, Democrats. A clincher was applied by Representative Edward H. Stein iDem., Bloomfield), majority floor leader, who had moved suspension of the rules. The suspension was voted, 80 to 12. Two Minor Changes The bill, as it passed the house, i contained two minor amendments j incorporated in the senate. Reorganization of the state gov- | ernmental structure will be gradual and not start until the assembly adjourns, McNutt said today. The Governor also said he has not decided whether the reorganization will start with the small departments and work toward the large ones, or the reverse.

IVAN WAN FIGHTS OUSTER State G. 0. P. Chairman to Battle Watson Move; Defends Record. Ivan Morgan, state chairman of the Republican party, will be defended at the meeting of the state committee next Tuesday, when an effort, ascribed to Senator James E. Watson, will be made to oust him and put Don Irvin of Frankfort in his place. ' Morgan will place before the committee his record of running the party on a business basis and, for the first time in years, putting it into a solvent condition. Back of the Watson fight against Morgan is said to be the refusal of Morgan to steam roller the last convention for Springer. Some days before the convention, so it is asserted, Watson called Morgan and insisted on naming as chairman Elza Rogers of Lebanon, stating that the reason was that there had been an agreement to nominate Springer and a chairman was needed who would “perform.” At the same time other candidates had been nicked for SBOO as an entrance fee on the theory that the convention would be deliberative and that Watson would keep hands off. This was especially true in the case of M. Burt Thurman, who had (Turn to Page Four)

GERMAN CROWN DRIVE DENIED Von Papen Says New Heads of Nation Not Seeking to Restore Monarchy. BY ED L. KEEN (Copyright. 1933, by United Press) Vice-President of the United Press for Europe BERLIN, Feb. 3.—Vice-Chancellor Franz Von Papen gave assurance today that the new German government has no connection with any movement looking tow’ard restoration of the monarchy. His declaration was made in the course of an exclusive interview with the United Press in which the former chancellor, now chancellor Adolf Hitler's chief colleague, outlined the fundamental principles and policies on which the new government is based. Von Papen's statement, brief but comprehensive, w’as in response to the following question: “The foreign press has in part interpreted ‘the appointment of the new’ government as a further move in the general direction of restoration of the monarchy. Is there any basis for such an interpretation?” His reply, given emphatically, was: “There is no basis for such an interpretation.” An emergency decree providing death or long prison terms for political terrorists was considered by the government of Adolph Hitler today to curb increasing fights and fatal street brawls. A similar decree was promulgated last summer and had the desired effect of restraining political outbreaks. The decree was withdrawn when the country became quiet politically.

Thrombosis The sudden death of former President Coolidge of coronary thrombosis has focused public attention on this common but little understood affliction.

Dr. Morris Fishbein. author of The Times NEA Service’s daily health news, discusses those questions in a manner the layman can understand in three sjjecial articles, the first of which will appear on The Times editorial page Saturday.
