YEAR'S EVENTS RETOLD IN BOOK BY ROOSEVELT Mapped Bank Moratorium Two Months Before Crisis, He Says. By l nilr>t Pr> i NEW YORK, April 12.—President Roosevelt's personal views on ihe banking crisis of a year ago and subsequent important developments in Washington were revealed today in his book. "On Our Way,” published by the John Day Company. Major state papers and documents of the last twelve months form the basis of the book Interspersed among them are the President's comment and opinion. The book brought to light the fact that Mr. Roosevelt had debated his authority to declare a hank.ng holiday for two months ocfore the proclamation was issued. He found, the book related, an emergency law enacted during war-time ISI7 which vested him with power to declare the holiday. Senator Thomas J. Walsh, who until his death was slated for at-torney-general in the new cabinet, studied the 1917 law and gave Mr. Roosevelt an opinion that it had not been repealed by a later general act. Commenting on monetary developments. the President revealed he never had definitely decided whether the United States went ofl the gold standard. “In one sense we did not,” he wrote, “because the legal gold content of the dollar was unchanged. On the other hand, gold here in the United States ceased to be a medium of exchange.” The gold order, President Roosevelt wrote, was the turning point in the economic tide. “It’s result was felt almost immediately,” he commented. Every one realized at last that we were serious in our purpose of conserving our own financial resources.'* 31,000 ARE ATTENDING EMERGENCY CLASSES Commission Announces Program Will Cease May 15. Reports received from school superintendents over the state by Dr. P. R. Hightower, director of the emergency education program, show that 31.378 adults are receiving free i instruction, with 929 teachers em- j ployed, according to the Governor's j commission on unemployment re- ! lief. The announcement said the i program will cease May 15. The tabulation by Dr. Hightower's 1 office was for the last week in February, as March reports are not complete. It showed that 2.145 classes had been formed in the state, an average of more than two classes to each teacher. The enrollments for study- courses totaled 49,047. an average of almost one and one-half classes to each student.
