ALL FACTIONS STAND SOLIDLY BEHIND ROOSEVELT PLAN

PROGRESSIVE BLOC PLEDGES j SUPPORT; G.O.P. CHIEFTAINS AGREE TO BACK MEASURES Long White House Conference Ends at Midnight, With Decision for Extensive Currency Expansion. BV RAY TUCKER 1 imps Staff Writer WASHINGTON. March 9.—President Roosevelt's program for reviv. ing Americas prostrate banks was agreed upon in rough outline at a White House conference that ended at midnight, only twelve hours before the lime to present it to congress. Not until he had discussed various devices with congressional leaders of both houses did the President retire to his study to write his message containing his remedies for the nation's greatest monetary crisis.

After senators and representatives had passed out into the rain dripping from the Whit/' House portico, he called in legislative drafting experts and set to work on a measure designed to open banks, restore public confidence, and revive trade. Expansion Called for His program calls for expansion of the currency of from $2,000,000,000 to $4,000,000,000 in federal reserve notes. It is estmiated that unused federal reserve mechanism permits currency increase totalling about $1,500,000,000 and that liberalizing amendments will raise the amount of new issue. To place banks in a position to take this issue, it is understood that a liberal reappraisal of their assets will be made. With the administration confident that most banks eventually will pay out in whole or in part, it is felt there is every justification for currency expansion. It is understood that national bank examiners already have gone to work on this phase of the problem. Besides consulting Democratic and Republican leaders, Mr. Roosevent called in such progressives as Senator Edward F. Costigan of Colorado, George W. Norris of Nebraska, Robert M. LaFollctte of Wisconsin and Hiram Johnson of California. Plan Held Sound They gave their hearty support, to his proposal. It was the first, time these men have been invited to the White House in years. The general agreement that the new' plan is sound was evidenced in the support given to it by members of both parties at the White House meeting. Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon. Republican senate leader, and Representative Bertrand Snell, Republican house leader, indicated the measure would have their backing. So did Senator Carter Glass <Dem., Va.t. the Democrats’ ultraconservative financial expert. In addition to furnishing the basis for currency expansion, the emergency measure will legalize the embargo on hoarding, withdrawal and export of gold set up in the President’s Sunday night proclamation. Although a tax on hoarding of gold and a plan for using postal savings deposits for checking deposits were considered. They were discarded as unnecessary at this time. Speed Is Pledged In a joint statement. Senate Leader Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas and Majority Leader Henry T. Rainey of the house said the emergency measures would be passed without delay. It is the President's hope that congressional enactment by tonight will obviate the necessity of extending his proclamation prohibiting transactions in gold and currency, except as specified in Secretary Woodin's modifications. If necessary, however, Mr. Roosevelt is ready to continue his proclamation in force until congress acts. Like recent Rooseveltian moves, the conference on the banking crisis had its human side. When a heavy rain drenched 100 reporters ranging around on the White House grounds, they were invited to take shelter on the White House portico. It, was not long before official members of the Roosevelt entourage, accompanied by the correspondents, were singing "Oh. Build Me a Home Where the Buffaloes Roam.” White House cops stared and gaped, not realizing that serious business could be put to music without. hurting either. ACTION POLICY OF NEW LEADERSHIP LAUDED Marketing C'onsellor Tells Kiwanians That Time to ‘Do’ Is Here. Action typifies the new leadership of today as old leaders have been toppled by the economic depression. Martin Wolf, marketing consellor of New’ York and Chicago, said Wednesday at the Kiwants Club luncheon in the Columbia Club. He said the now leadership was exemplified in President Franklin D. Roosevelt. "It is too late to dwell on what brought about the crisis. The time is ripe to plan what to do." he said. Wolf advised business firms to keep financially "healthy.” and said it was necessary to swim upstream and not with the current. BANKER’S TRIAL TO OPEN Rollo X. Walter to Face Court at La Grange Friday. ft;/ lulled /’> c < LA GRANGF, Ind.. March 9.Rollo N. Waiter, former state senator and offieer in the defunct La Grange County Trust Company, will go on trial here Friday on a charge of embezzlement.

CITY BANKERS AWAIT SIGNAL Reopening Deferred Until Further Word Comes From Capital. (Continued From Page One) that wholesale grocery prices have risen sharply in the last few days, and that, if they keep rising, retail prices must be boosted. It was added that there is no actual shortage of food at the source, except in a few communities, and there is no need for customers to buy more than usual current amounts. Postal Business Light Postal money order and postal savings business was light here today. Postmaster Leslie D. Clancy reported that money orders totaling $31,226 were issued Wednesday and orders totaling $144,000 were cashed. Os this figure, $61,000 was cashed by one local firm and $20,000 was issued to another firm. Postal savings deposited Wednesday totaled $13,755, withdrawals being only $9,127. Clancy said Indianapolis residents have nearly $3,000,000 in deposits in postal savings accounts. Exchange of bank funds necessary Ito conduct business has not been i blocked entirely by the bank holiday. Some banks have arranged to permit transfer of funds by checks where restricted accounts of the check drawer and the drawee are in the same bank. Transfer Is Allowed This would permit a f m to take checks which have been written on the same banks in which it deposits to the bank and have the checks charged against account of the drawer and credited to the firm’s account, without any actual cash changing hands. It was reported here that Leo M. Gardner, attorney, fomer chairman of the house of representatives banking committee, and sponsor of the model Indiana bank law in the house, might go to Washington today as representative of the Governor to protect interests of Indiana banks in new federal bank legislation. Indiana bankers feel the new Indiana bank law amply protects depositors and shareholders and that the state does not need federal legislation to protect its state banks. Checks against deposits in closed banks can be used for tax payments and avoid delinquencies under terms of a measure made law' by the signature of Governor Paul V. McNutt Wednesday night. The checks will be honored by the county treasurer when accompanied by proof of bank balance as of before Feb. 28. Timothy P. Sexton,! county treasurer, announced that his office is ready to receive payments. Definite assurance that pay rolls would be met and employes paid as usual was given by several Indianapolis firms.

Stability, Not Inflation, Need of U. S., Says Famed Economist

Financial Tangle Laid to Inexcusable Fear by Prof. Seligman. BY DOUGLAS GILBERT Times Staff Writer NEW YORK. March 9.—Professor Edwin R. A. Seligman. dean of American economists and a humanist whose wise counsel is internationally respected, today ascribed the financial dilemma to two causes —inexcusable panic and unreasoning. fear on the part of banking which every other civilized country has discarded. The Columbia university expert believes the situation will be relieved this week. The first move, he says, obviously up to the public, is to remember that the country is essentially sound —.hat it is the financial system that is faulty: the second is the responsibility of the congress. And in this respect Seligman predicts that the special session starting today will at once proceed upon legislation that will insure a modern. centralized banking operation adequate to the phases of contemporary business. “This may well be.” he said, referring to the contemplated action of congress, “the harbinger of the return to normal economic conditions. I ask everybody to remember that deflation has done its work Prices have fallen to such an extent that what we need above all now is belief and confidence that we do not need a return to the high prices of 1929. "We do not need inflation. We need stability, i believe that stability can be helped by the adoption of a modern banking system. I believe that this may well mark the beginning of anew era.”

House Members Urged to Speed Through Relief Legislation. By United Press WASHINGTON. March 9.—Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, Speaker of the house, today formally assumed his high office with a call to the entire membership to disregard political ties and unite to speed through needed relief legislation. Rainey warned that the nation faces emergencies “more serious” and "presenting greater dangers to the republic” than those brought about by the World W'ar. He praised the vigorous action of President Roosevelt in meeting the financial crisis as ‘‘the first constructive step toward a complete recovery.’ Rainey recalled to the chamber the nonpartisan support given to President Wilson during the World war and asked that the present emergency be viewed in the same light, “Today w'e are engaged in another w r ar,” Rainey said—"more serious in its character and presenting greater

M'NUTTSPEEDS REPEAL PLANS Bill Now Law Providing for Convention of Delegates. Governor Paul V. McNutt will begin immediately to make plans for the eighteenth amendment repeal convention, it was learned today. The law providing the machinery for such convention was signed by the Governor Wednesday night. It is the Ryan-Downey act, which provides that the Governor shall issue a proclamation providing for an election of delegates not more than sixty days before the convention is held. „ Delegates will be chosen as for or against repeal and there will be one delegate for each 10,000 population in a county and one for a major fraction of 10,000. Each candidate must have a petition of 500 electors to get his or her name, on the ballot. Petitions are to he filed with the clerk of the circuit court. The convention will be held in the house of representatives on the third Monday after the election at 2 p. m. An appropriation of $5,000 is made for the meeting. McNutt has planned on Indiana being one of the first states to ratify repeal. A famous snowstorm of yellow' snow, in Wisconsin in 1918, w T as colored by dust blown from Arizona and New Mexico.

The Democratic party again is in control and w'e are going to call on the entire membership of the house to support the relief measures which again will be suggested by a Democratic administration. “In the serious business which is ahead of us, we already are assured that back of us are the people of the entire United States, exhibiting a patience and a fortitude in the midst of their difficulties unparalleled in the history of this or any other nation. “No danger of Communism presents itself to us. Facism never can find a place here. We are finding a w'ay out of our present difficulties and God grant we may find it quickly. “This great country of ours is only undergoing now a rebirth, the suffering we are enduring now' is, we confidently hope, merely the birthpains.

5 BOY SCOUTS WIN TOP AWARD 176 Merit Badges Given at March Court of Honor at Library. Spec-al awards and 176 merit badges were distributed Wednesday night at the March court of awards of the Boy Scouts.

Primitive Banking System Assailed by Columbia University Savant. “as those we experienced' in previous decades. The situation, first, is mainly psychological. We should, and we can be with all justification, confident of the ultimate outcome if we are resolved to cast off old and outworn methods." The government, said Seligman. in a sound banking system, will insure that the bank keeps in reserve sufficient cash to honor all ordinary demands. "It ought also,” he added, having* regard for the foibles and frailties of mankind, “to be sure that the bank invests ar.d lends its money with a certain degree of intelligence and security.” It is a matter of regret to the Columbia scholar that we have not accomplished these results as other nations have. ’'We have.” he said, “neglected to remember that a system suited for a local and pioneer society is unsuited for a modern, complicated community with international affiliations.” He concluded with counseling th* public to exercise due caution and patience. "As soon as the storm blows over, things will go back to ordinary channels,” he said. “What is needed is first a display of energy and leadership which, fortunately, has just been manifested in Washington and. second, the determination to rewrite at once our entire banking system. “Let us have no more despair, no more unreasoning fear. Let us have grim determination to give up all our old prejudices and to start out fresh on anew path.”

ROOSEVELT TO ORDER BILLIONS IN NEW MONEY Controlled Inflation Will Be Gist of President's . Relief Plan. (Continued From Tage One) the recommendations to be sub- i mitted in his message to congress. ! The gold embargo stays on and the federal reserve board is re- j doubling its efforts to force gold back into the hands of the federal i reserve banks, to increase the re- ; serves for new currency. The board, in an apparent campaign against gold hoarders, asked j reserve banks to report next w r eek j the names of all persons who have withdraw gold since Feb. 1. The treasury department has decided not to authorize general issue of scrip. It was feared that a motley collection of local printing press currencies would spring up to create confusion. Some localities, however, are going ahead with their ow T n scrip issues. No bank guarantee will be attempted now. Proposals to open postal savings banks to checking deposits also were abandoned. If successful, the new federal reserve money should start a w'ave of nation-wide buying. Rising prices and a quick pick-up in business are anticipated. If this develops, officials foresee a prompt passing of the crisis, with a rapid turnover, which, once under way, would permit contraction of the emergency currency back to normal proportions. “Blood Transfusion” Planned In effect, President Roosevelt is* attempting a blood transfusion. Wtih a fresh supply of circulating medium, the restoration is expected to follow naturally. It is a daring program, but in line* with President Roosevelt's inaugural pledge of immediate action to provide adequate but sound currency. So far as is now known, no new 1 kind of money is contemplated. There merely would be more of the familiar federal reserve notes—the usual green-backed paper money which forms the bulk of everyday currency. Dozens of technical questions arei involved in this process of overnight expanding of the nation’s supply of money. Bankers find them complicated enough. To the layman they are even more difficult to under-) stand. Will Expand Currency Roughly, the President's plain would expand currency mainly under present federal reserve restrictions. Currency would be issued against liuid assets of sound banks. State banks could join in circulation of this currency upon certification by state examining boards. Fundamentally, the additional money would be issued under the elastic provisions of the federal reserve system. These were planned to meet such stringencies. They permit currency to beaded to or contracted as needed by business. Banks take short-term commercial paper on which they have made loans to business men—it must mature within ninety days—to their federal reserve bank and get paper money for it. But many banks have long since put up all such shorttime paper they have. For them provisions of the GlassSteagall act are available. They can take long-term paner, such as real estate mortgages, bonds, promissory notes, and the like, which normally a federal reserve bank would not look at, and get ppaer money for it. Helps Weak Banks As the law now stands, city banks can do this only when at least five of them group together to pool such long-term paper. Approval of the federal reserve board is required in each case. Banks in isolated communities may act alone. Now it is proposed to amend the law so that any individual bank may apply alone, because a weak bank, the very one that needs such help, can not persuade a stronger neighbor bank to pool with it. Also, the law may be changed to require that such paper be accepted by federal reserve banks without obtaining approval of the board at Washington. Such changes would open up avenues for passing out possibly an- j other $1,000,000,000 of currency. Nearly another $1,000,000,000 could be issued against government bonds, under the home loan act. Ample Means Available Thus there is ample margin in the federal currency system to permit rapid ir-iance of a vast stream of additional money. The problem is to get it into circulation, and to prevent it from following the path of several billion dollars into the hiding places of the hoarders. Here is where the controlled inflation psychology may serve a useful purpose. Inflation normally means ri:ing prices. Wholesalers, jobbers, and canny householders ail rush to buy as much as they can when inflation is anticipated. That is simply good business. They skim off profits on the turnover. Trade volume increases. Money es hands with increas-

Yes! He’s Human —! Roosevelt Pleases Senators by Methods of Getting Things Done.

By ftcripps-Hoicard Xctcspnprr Alliance WASHINGTON, March 9.—On the first day he was in harness as the new President. Franklin D. Roosevelt made an indelible impression upon the United States senate as a man's man—a man who gets things done. What he did was actually but a trifle in the present situation; but the way he did it pleased senators on both sides of the aisle, and gave them confidence. It happened this way: The President went to the senate for the funeral services for Senator Thomas J. Walsh (Dem., Mont.!, who died just after being appointed attorney-general bv Mr. Roosevelt.

The services over, the President ‘ retired to the President's room, and talked with Majority Leader Jo- j seph T. Robinson of Arkansas. He told the senator that he had sev- j eral appointments, and he wanted them confirmed immediately. There was a little hesitation, and the President asked that Senator Charles McNary (Rep., Ore.), the minority leader, and Senator James j Couzens (Rep., Mich.L be called in. ; Sitting there, he explained to these j men that the appointments he was ! making and was asking confirmation

DRY RAIDS MAY BE CONTINUED U. S. Non-Buying Rule Has Been in Effect Here for Some Time. Federal prohibition agents in the local district will not. be hampered seriously by the new orders of the prohibition commissioner, prohibiting buying of liquor in speakeasies and requiring concentration of efforts on liquor transportation and manufacturing. This was the view of Basil H. Minnich, deputy dry administrator, for the southern Indiana district, | today. The rules promulgated by the j commissioner have been followed j here, to a great extent, for some time, according to Minnich. While he has not received offi- i cial notice of the ruling, Minnich ! said that apparently the order does | not absolutely prohibit dry agents j from raiding speakeasies, but merely 1 makes it more difficult to obtain j evidence in such cases. Payments to stool-pigeons for tips I resulting in successful raids on | speakeasies were banned here sev- j eral weeks ago. except in excep- ; tional cases, it was said. Minnich declined to comment on the exact situation resulting from j the order until he has received and studied official notification of it. ________________________ ROTHERMEL NAMED CIVIC CLUB LEADER Elected Chairman of Central South Side Committee. Walter C. Rothermel, attorney, representing the central committee of South Side Civic Clubs at the recent water rate hearing before the public service commission, was elected chairman of the central committee of the organization Wednesday night. Arthur E. Huston was elected first vice-president; Bernard F. Mullen, second vice-president; Robert W. Sloan, treasurer, and James H. Foster, secretary. Rothermel was elected following withdrawal of J. Ed. Burk, organizer of the committee five years ago, and who has served as its chairman since. Rothermel announced that he planned several changes in i committee activities which would include a series of lectures by public officials on matters of civic interest. ing rapidity. Shortly the entire gait of business has speeded up. Then, if the inflation be well con- ] trolled, tb~ brakes can be applied j gradually as conditions require. If j the whole process is successful, the ' expanded currency is drawn in. | Normal healthy conditions are then j restored. This, at any rate, is the objective | of any controlled Nation. It is what a growing school of economists has advocated for at least two years during the depression. The previous administration stood adamant against it. Even conservative Democrats opposed it. j Chief among them was Senator Carter Glass 'Dem., Va.t. He breathed fire and brimstone at the : faintest suggestion of inflation. jBut as the hands of the clock in the White House moved toward midnight Wednesday, he and his fellow legislators gradually were j won by the persuasive powers of i President Roosevelt. Senator Glass walked out across j the White House portico into the ; raw night ready to back the Presi- j dent in his determination to under- j take a blood transfusion for Amer- | lean business. President Roosevelt had won over i his most dangerous potential op- | ponent. Senator Glass left the ! White House ready to lead the fight. | That, for the new President, was perhaps his most significant achievement. It foreshadowed a quick melting of opposition—and action.

for were of men in whom he had implicit trust; and that the boards and departments to which they would be assigned could not function without them. The senate, he mentioned, wanted to adjourn, and he wanted it to. but not before the nominations had been confirmedThe Democratic majority leader and the Republican minority leader agreed. It happened in a few* minutes. A senator turned to Couzens: "Things are different, eh, Jim?” he asked, and smiled. And Couzens was reported to have replied: "Yes. He's human!”
