ROOSEVELT'S ENTIRE MONEY POLICY HINGES ON VERDICT OF NATION’S HIGHEST COURT Tumbling* Stock Prices Foreshadow Reaction to Possibility of Decision Holding President’s Gold Action Illegal. Thf fold ra*r% in thr Snprrmr Court have rrnlrrfd attrntion on thi* litltation • hirb Ihrulrm the Administration's monrlarr and fiscal procram. This is the first of a scries of three dispatches seeking to simplify the tsmplirated situation. BY JOHN A. RFIC HMANN I nited Press Staff Corre.pondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Tumbling - stock and commodity prices foreshadow speculative reaction to the possibility of the Supreme Court declaring unconstitutional the gold action of the Roosevelt Administration. Presumably the rumblings were a foretaste of what would happen if the court acts against the monetary program, as exemplified in the cases involved, va out precautionary action by the Government. Five cases involving the gold program have ?n argued before the court. In three of them the plaintii contend that their railroad gold clause bonds must be paid 1 gold or the currency equivalent, $1.69 to the dollar.

In another they charge fourth l’j Liberty Bonds called last spring should be paid the same way. The fifth suit charges similar payment should be made on gold certificates turned in under the anti-hoarding orders. The Government claims that now of h“so claims can be upheld because they interfere with Congress’ power to regulate the currency. For a clear picture of the situation before the court it is necessary to understand what the Government has been trying to do since that March day in 1933 when President Roosevelt declared the bank holiday. Gold Supply Reduced Prior to that date raids on the dollar had tended to reduce the Government’s supply of gold. It was flowing abroad and at home hoarders were gathering in gold and gold certificates under the free gold policy which had been maintained by the United States long after other nations had abandoned it. Foreign nations for the mast part had given up the free gold standard and ceased the use of gold coin. Instead bullion reserves were mai itained as backing for currency. This is just what the United States sought to do. The obvious advantage of this system was to maintain a stable currency. It also permitted the Government to maintain the value of the dollar on foreign exchange on a parity with the currency of other nations. Raids on the dollar could be met in open competition. Thomas Amendment Passes Soon afterwards Congress passed the Agriculture Adjustment Act with the Thomas Amendment. The latter was the attempt of the inflation bloc in Congress which gave the President discretionary power to do almost as he wished with the currency. It carried permissive power to devalue the dollar in terms of gold by as much as 50 per cent. With all other currencies devalued in gold it became, it was believed, desirable to use this power. In the way stood the 5100.000.000.000 of gold clause bonds which had been issued by the Government and private long term borrowers and which demanded payment in gold at the old standard of value, namely 25.8 grains nine-tenths fine for every dollar. Forces that gave rise to these obligations date back to the days when Civil War paper currency was widely printed and c. irculated. Afterward this paper varied in relation to gold currency and also to silver currency. To coax money from investors to build railroads, telegraph lines and other highly expensive undertakings it was necessary to give them some assurance that their money would be repaid in money of an equal value. Heritage of Civil War Agitation for greenback currency and later for 16-to-l silver gave added impetus for such assurance for investors. In its intent to create a forever stable currency and a parity for all kinds of currency by maintaining a gold bullion store, the Government foresaw a day when the gold clause in such obligations would no longer be necessary. To have reduced the gold content of the dollar under the Thomas Amendment without also voting the gold clause would have been to create in these debts of $100,000.000.000 a special class of creditors. It also would have created a special class of debtors by making them pay just so many more currency dollars on the debts. Gold Clause Outlawed These currency dollars would have been just as hard to get as any other kind of dollars. This was what the Government did not wish to do. Accordingly. Congress passed and the President signed on June 5. 1933. Public Resolution No. 10. The act declared an emergency and gave the Congressional intent to make all dollars equal in terms of currency. It found gold clause obligations an impediment. Public Resolution No. 10 provided that such obligations be payable in any kind of legal tender. In January. 1934. Congress directed the President to reduce the gold content of the dollar by not less then 40 nor more than 50 per

cent. A few days later he reduced it by executive order from 25.8 grains nine-tenths fine to 15 5-21 grains nine-tenths fine, or to 59.06 cents. Fate of Policy in Balance If the gold clause had not been outlawed and with the dollar devalued the gold obligations would have been payable either in old standard gold, which was unavailable because it had all been recovered into the treasury by the hoarding orders, or paid in standard currency at the rate of $1.69 for every dollar borrowed. The bondholders whose suits are pending in the Supreme Court contend that they are entitled to that figure. Legislation which provides otherwise, they say is unconstitu- ; tional because it takes their property without just compensation. That is the question which the court must decide and on the answer •o which the fate of the entire monetary policy may hang.

HOOVER RAPPED IN FORUM TALK Rugged Individualism Plea Is Assailed by Noted Liberal. Herbert Hoover’s exhortations for a “return to liberty” through “rugged individualism,” are nothing more than “a vulgarization of liberalism,” declared Dr. Everett Dean Martin, famed New York liberal, before the Indianapolis Open Forum last night at Kirshbaum Center. President Roosevelt, Dr. Martin said, is a liberal and some of his measures which are not regarded as liberal legislation he termed “emergency acts.” Speaking on “What Has Happened to Liberalism,” Dr. Martin declared that neither Fascism, nor Communism, nor Naziism has a foothold in the United States and that none of them is a live issue for the American public. He likened a choice j.mong these movements to choosing between the hangman's noose and the dagger. “I would sooner live under the worst parliament,” ha said, “than under the best dictator.” Liberalism, he added, has gone hand in hand with civilization through the years. Adolf Hitler’s “blood purge” of last June, said Dr. Martin, was the “most barbarous act of the last 200 years,” and has placed Germany completely beyond the pale of civilization. 3 PURSE SNATCHERS TAKE $66 IN LOOT Trio Grabs Pooketbook From Woman Conversing With Friend. Three man who snatched a purse from Miss Anna Seigle, 51, Davlan Apartments, last night as she was standing with a friend at Vermont and Delaware-sts, are being sought today by police.

Penn-sylvania-st, Saturday night and stole her purse containing articles valued at $23, and the purse of Miss Irene Pletts, 36, containing articles valued at approximately the same amount. Baking materials valued at sl6 were taken from the Charles Melloh bakery, 1637 Villa-av, last night. The loot included 200 pounds of flour, 60 pounds of shortening and 50 pounds of sugar. LAUNDRY TO LAUNCH ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN Extensive Newspaper Drive Will Feature Excelsior Program.

8 CONSERVATION BILLS WIN 0. K, OF COMMITTEE House Report Is Due Today: Approval Expected by Senate Group. The legislative program to plug up present chinks in state conservation statutes got off to a flying start today with the House Natural Resource Committee scheduled to report favorably on eight of the nine measures introduced last Friday. Major bills in the list include an act providing for the seizure and condemnation of property used in violation of fish and game laws; an amendment providing for a closed season on the taking of mussels during the game fish spawning season; a bill permitting the netting of cisco from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31 by permit from the Conservation Department and a measure regulatiner taking and selling of minnows for use as bait. Actidh on the proposed bill providing for regulation of ice fishing was suspended on a motion by H. H. Evans (Rep., Newcastle) minority caucus leader, who said that he would introduce a measure on Wednesday which would outlaw all game fishing from Jan. 1 to June 16. Similar quick action on the ten Senate conservation measures is expected in the Senate Natural Resource committee meeting later today. Utility Curb Proposed Charging that users of electric lights and power have been making up operating deficits of power company radio stations and applie ce stores, the Rev. Morris H. Coers (D., Indianapolis), was this afternoon to introduce a bill in the House of Representatives preventing power companies from engaging in subsidiary business. The measure was + o be introduced by both the Rev. Coers and Rep. Carl E. M. Woodara (D., Michigan City), youngest member of the House. In Indianapolis the measure would strike at the ownership of radio station WFBM, operated by Indianapolis Power and Light Cos., and to subsidiary stores operated by the power company for the sale of electric appliances. The Coers-Woodard measure will provide that no utility shall engage directly or indirectly, in any subsidiary business other than its main or primary business, and shall not furnish to its patrons any service, product or commodity not connected with the primary business. Exempt would be sales of utility by-products, such as coke, and such other products as the utility might produce as a necessary incident to their operation. Raps Racing Bill Measures designed to legalize parimutuel betting in Indiana will be vigorously opposed in the House of Representatives by the Rev. Morris H. Coers, a member of the Marion County delegation. Branding the proposed legislation as both “bad politics and not moral,” the Rev. Mr. Coers said he considered it his duty to align himself with opponents of the measure. The announcement was considered particularly significant because the Rev. Mr. Coers has generally been considered a stanch supporter of the administration. Another bill is said to be in preparation which it is reported would extend the pari-mutuel betting to dog and races other than horse races. Car Drivers Legislation Automobile drivers’ licenses would be issued for a three-year term for a fee of $1 under the terms of a bill now being prepared by Rep. Jacob J. Reisinger <D., Evansville) for introduction in the House. At present annual renewal of the licenses is required at a 50-cent fee. Rep. Reisinger’s measure also would provide for chauffeur licenses for a three-year period at a license fee of $1.50. The higher rate, he said, was provided because of the necessity for license badges. Rep. Reisinger believes the measure would result in a reduction of state expenses, because the necessity for annual renewal expenses would be removed. A bill abolishing tha present law requiring automobile ownership certificates to be carried in “metal containers” will be introduced in the House of Representatives today by Rep. Jacob J. Reisinger (D„ Evansville. LAW CLASS_TO DANCE Lincoln School Freshmen Also to Sponsor Card Party Friday. The midwinter dance and card party of the Lincoln Law School freshman class will be given at the Riviera Club Friday i night. Louis Partillo and his band will furnish the music. Co-chairmen in charge are Paul R. Lustgarten and George W. Horst.

KIDNAP CABMAN, RAIDJJ>LACES Bandits Stage Holdups With Driver Trussed Up in Taxi. Two men early today did a painstaking and thorough job of robbing Chester Cook, 608 Middle-dr, a cab driver. The pair hired Mr. Cook to drive them to a point on N. Illinois-st between the canal and White River. They didn't pay him. Instead, they robbed him of $2 in cash. Then they held him while they siphoned the gasoline out of his cab into a car they had abandoned there when it had run out of gasoline. Another cab driver. Roy W. Beebe, 29, of 939 N. Ewing-st, was conferring with police today over a more complicated and serious crime in which he was an involuntary and unwilling accessory before, during and after the fact Saturday night. Two bandits, both armed, took his cab and held him up, bound and gagged him, put him on the floor in the rear and warned him to attract no attention. Then they held up John Steegs’ drug store at 2502 Central-av, took $35, and later held up the Peacock Roost, 38th-st and State Road 67, taking $25. During commission of both crimes, Mr. Beebe was. helpless in the rear. While the car was parked for the first robbery, with both gunmen in the drug store, a young man and girl opened the rear door of the cab as if to hire it, saw the trussed driver, closed the door and hurried on. At 21st-st and Bosart-av, after they had committed both robberies, the bandits unbound Mr. Beebe, and one of them got out of the car. The other cab and Mr. Beebe to 21st-st and Sherman-dr, where the bandit got out, warning Mr. Beebe not to look back. HUNT SLAYER SUSPECT Police Seek to Quiz City Negro in Fatal Shooting. Police today were searching for Lewis Nelson, Negro, 30, sought for questioning in connection with the fatal shooting of William Duncan, Negro, 351 W. 15th-st, late Saturday night. Duncan was found mortally wounded in a home at 1011 La-fayette-st. Four women and a man, all Negroes, were arrested and are held as material witnesses. One of the quintet, according to police, named Nelson as the slayer.
