PRESIDENT FEELS FINE AFTER CRUISE

Returns With All Traces of

Cold Gone and Starts t Busy Week.

President Rooseveit entered upon a

busy week today greatly refreshed after the rest in the open air during his week end cruise on the presidential yacht Sequoia. He returned to the White House night with all traces of his recent cold entirely gone. He said he felt fine. He was highly enthusiastic over his cruise, especially that part of it which carried him down the Rappa- hannock River from Fredericksburg, Va., where he hoarded the Sequoia late Fri- day afternoon, to the mouth of the river at Chesapeake Bay.

Virtually the entire day of Saturday was spent cruising leisurely down this picturesque river. Freouently the yacht was stopped for a stray of the historic spots along the way. The President said he hopes to make another journey on that river soon.

Ploughs Through Heavy Sea. Accompanied by Rear Admiral Carey

T. Grayson. U. S. N.. retired, and Sam- uel T. Rosenman of New York, the Presi- dent motored from the White House to Fredericksburg, where the Sequoia was awaiting. Tire yacht anchored for the night a few miles below Fredericksburg and resumed its journey down the river about 10 o'clock Saturday morning. It was dark when the bay was reached and the little craft met with a heavy sea. through which it ploughed for two hours before arriving at the quiet waters of the Potomac. Tire anchor was dropped in a cove a short distance north of Piney Point. The journey to Washington was started shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning. The Presi- dent disembarked at the Washington Navy Yard at 6 o'clock and went to the White House. It was well toward mid- night before he retired.

Going to New York Tomorrow. The President went to work imme-

datelv after breakfast this morning on a schedule which will keep him oc- cupied throughout the day. His daugh- ter-in-law. Mrs. James Roosevelt, joined him at breakfast. She and her small child arrived from New York early this mornine

The President will leave tomorrow on a special train for New York to Bee his son James off for Europe He will spend the night at his town house, on Sixty-fifth street, and during the forenoon Wednesday he will motor to his home at Hyde Park, where he will remain until the morning of October 4. when he plans to motor to New York City to deliver an address that night at a meeting of the Catholic Charities at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and then board a special train at mid- night to come back to the Capital.

CHICAGO PUBLISHER OPPOSES INFLATION

Col. Frank Knox States Un-

controlled Type Now Scourges Germany.

Bv the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. September 25 —Col. Frank Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily Nows, was on record today as being un- alterably opposed to uncontrolled infla- tion of currency. He held up as a pos- sible result of it “that type of Irre- sponsible dictatorship which now scour- nges Germany."

In a statement yesterday prefaced with a declaration that President Roosevelt had received almost the unanimous support of the American people since assuming office, the pub- lisher asked a continuation of that sup- port to oppose the demands of radicals.

The first to be hurt by uncontrolled Inflation. Col Knox said, would be the wage earner, while the speculator would be the first to profit.

“Who are the people injured by Issuance of fiat money?" he asked, and then answered his own question as fol- lows:

“First, every wage earner and every salaried man or woman, for wages and salaries never keep pace with the wildly rising prices caused by Inflation. Every insurance policyholder, every savings bank depositor, every member of a building and loan association, every holder of a bond or mortgage of any kind, every endowed school, every- en- dowed hospital or charitable institution, every taxpayer, for the cost of govern- ment grows by leaps and bounds In a fiat money market.”

“There is a world of difference be- tween resort to well controlled inflation of credit and equally well controlled expansion of currency, properly secured, and the starting of the printing presses in the Federal Mint."

As example. Col. Knox pointed to Eu- rope. where he said the latter type of inflation had resulted in dictatorships supplanting democratic institutions.

In the case of America he said he believed it "has supplied the only ex- ample the world has ever known of a great free people in the time of peace giving itself so completely and unani- mously to single leadership as we have done sinee the 4th of March. Almost without exception every American has come along freely and cheerfully with the President.”

"If any had doubts,” he said, “they kept them to themselves. There has been a deliberate avoidance of criticism. All this had been done to a trust which Roosevelt himself has inspired that what is being done is not for the ad- vantage of any political group or any- one economic class.”

What’s What Behind News

in Capital. Sweet Little Sugar Deal Is Being Cooked Up

Back Stage. BY PAUL MALLON.

A sweet little sugar deal has been cooked up backstage by representa-

j tlves of that industry. It is so sweet ! that the administration has been hold- : ing it back.

State Secretary Hull has been hiding it in his desk for days, hoping nothing

| would leak out. He is quite sure Cuba would find it unpalatable, because it proposes to treat Cuba in a very un- refined way.

Also there is some question as to what it would do to the dear old consumer in the United States.

Unquestionably the administration wi’l make a few alterations in it be- for it lets it see the light of day. Those who have peeked into Hull's

desk say the agreement offers the fol- lowing production allotments (in short tons >:

U. S. beets 1,750,000 iflne for do- mestic growers >.

I Cuba 1.700,000 (bad news lor ! Cuba>.

Philippines 1.100.000 for three years (better than the law allows',

l Hawaii 975.000: Puerto Rico 875,- 000 and Virgin Islands 15.000.

They say an additional section was added to appease Cuba. It would set up a sugar reserve corporation through the R. F. C. With Government money this corporation would buy needed ad- ditional Cuban sugar (about 300.000 the first year; 200,000 the second and 100.000 the third). Cuba will hardly smile at that.

Watches Consumer Angle. This latter provision also is one

which Agriculture Secretary Wallace is supposed to be annoyed about. He is interested In the consumer angle.

The agreement shuts off importa- tions of Cuban refined sugar above 150.000 tons a year. iWe have im- ported as much as 600.000 tons of refined each year.)

Also It provides a minimum price for producers of sugar, but says noth- ing at all about what shall be charged the consumer. Apparently the con- science of refiners is to be the guide

Some way will probably be found to iron out the bad spots and provide a gcod marketing agreement before long.

Whatever is done. Cuba is bound to get the worst of it. The domestic industry must be protected. It can

only be done at the expense of Cuba. Therefore the matter may be kept in the background until the political situation down there is more quiet. The innermost banking circle hears

that Federal Reserve purchases of Government bonds this week will jump up to $100,000,000.

That will be a real move toward substantial credit inflation.

Purchases so far have been running around $35,000,000 weekly. They have brought no appreciable results. It is quite possible the larger amount will also fail to make banks loosen up

Purchases Reported Heavy. At any rate it will show the adminis-

tration conclusively whether that method of credit stimulation is an'

good.

Mr. Roosevelt is being overworked on financial matters.

Treasury Secretary Woodin is in New York most of the Lm“. Woodin's widely-advertised return to the Treasury was for three days only. His health is so precarious that strenuous application to h:s job now would be disastrous. His resignation has been delayed at substantial sacri- fice to Mr. Roosevelt and himself

Meanwhile Mr. Roosevelt has been personally trying to co-ordinate the Federal Reserve Board. Gov. Sprague. Profs. Warren and Rogers. Woodin and the Treasury Department.

It takes most of his time. The Dollfuss government in Austria

is getting secret help from Italy and possibly from the French That is what has enabled the Austrian dictator to stave off Hitlerism so successfully.

Sell Huey I.ong Medals. If Hitler tails in Austria his days

are numbered. At least that is the way our of-1

ficials see the situation. The demand for Huey Long medals

is so great that 80.000 have been sold at 25 cents each. They were struck off to commemorate the battle cf Long Island, you may remember.

John Lee Coulter, of the Tariff Commission, is slated for the big new

job as head of the Sugar Equaliza- tion Board, but insiders hear Mrs. Roosevelt's uncle. Forbes Morgan, has a good chance for it also

Mr. Roosevelt has a memo on his desk recommending appointment of a "director of compliance” in the N. R. A. The director would keep track of how employers are living \ up to the requirements of the Blue Eagle. The man who is doing the national

planning preparation work for Gen Johnson is Assistant Administrator Hammond.

Wall Streeters whisper the real rea- son the market started going down last Thursday was an Inside tip that France was going off the gold stand- ard. Later the tip was discounted. You can make millions with rumors in Wall Street these days.

YOUTH KILLED IN RACE

Car Overturns In Contest Open Only to Old Autos.

COATESVILLE, Pa„ September 25 C/4*).—One youth was killed and two others injured, one seriously, yesterday after their speeding auto upset on a curve at the Coatesville Airport on the last lap of a 10-mile race for old cars valued at less than $25.

Lloyd Watterson, 18. Downingtown, driver, was killed. John Dickinson. 19. Thorndale, suffered internal injuries, and Samuel Marsh, 17. Downingtown, received a sprained shoulder and other Injuries.

$1,600,000,000 Is Allotted, but Actual Withdrawals From Treasury Are Small.

Although $1,600,000,000 has been al- lotted out of the $3,300,000,000 publit works fund, only $59,139,756 has beer drawn from the Treasury for actua spending, according to a statement yes- terday from the Public Works Adminis- tration. It was reiterated that effort! are beng made to speed local spendin- to transfer the unemployed from re lie. rolls to pay rolls.

Most of the allotted money has beer for Federal projects on the grounds thal work on these could be started more readily than on projects submitted bj State, cities or private enterprises.

Projects approved last week will pro- vide 1,300,000 man-weeks of quick, di- rect employment.

Nearly twice that number of men, the administration said yesterday, will be employed indirectly throughout the country In the manufacture c'd trans- portation of materials and equipment.

Other Projects Speeded. Special efforts were made last week

to hasten sction on non-Federal proj- ects, with the result that 46 were ap- proved. Thus far the administrator has approved 2,200 projects of every character.

Virtually all of the funds remaining for disbursement arc to be assigned tc non-Federal projects, and State engi- neers and advisory boards are now sub- mitting their applications for allotments

The fact that only a small percentage of the monies allotted has been drawn from the Treasury has caused some disappointment to public works officials who have repeatedly urged that funds be sought for projects on which money can be spent Immediately.

However, the attitude of the Public Works Administration as expressed by a spokesman for Secretary Ickes, the administrator of the fund, was this:

Most of the projects for which fund.< have been allotted require final prepa- ration of plans and then a statutory period of advertising iusually 30 days: before bids can be let. The Public Works Administration has been func- tioning with complete organization foi approximately 10 weeks and during that time has allotted an average ol S160.000.000 a week. Many of the proj- ects wjll require three to five years tc complete and peak employment undei the funds assigned cannot possibly be reached for some time yet, and when It is reached disbursements of fund- from the Treasury would by natural course sharply Increase.

Supply Purchases to Begin. The conservation corps, which has

received between $30,000,000 and $40- 000.000 of public works funds to carry out the reforestation program, an- nounced yesterday it would begin im- mediately the purchase of supplies fo: its Winter camps.

Another agency, the Division of Sub- sistence Homesteads, granted $35,000.- 000 of public works funds for estab- lishment of homes to sustain industrial workers in slack times, called a meet- ing for tomorrow to draft policies foi utilization of the fund

Another move to push the public works program was revealed yesterday when It was announced that in order to encourage the use of fireproof con- struction in low cost housing projects and to permit lower rentals, the emor- tizaticn period for housing loans of this nature would be extended to 35 years

These grants are mainly In cases where slum areas have to be destroyed before fireproof buildings are erected The repayment would start after two years, the amortization being effected in 33 Installments at an Interest rate of 1.51 per cent.

PRODUCTION SHOWS GENERAL DECLINE

Federal Reserve Board Reports Lower Level With Employ-

ment Up.

By the Associated Press. The general level of industrial pro-

duction declined In August and early September, it was reported yesterday by the Federal Rserve Board, wdth an accompanying statement t£at Increased employment and wage payments from July to August was notec.

"Increases In employment between the middle of July and the middle of August, the latest date for which fig- ures are available, were general In most lines of Industry," the board said, "ana therp were numerous Increases in wage rates and reductions in working hours."

The period referred to was that in which the N. R. A first began func-

iiir it-puii Hssenea. "The Federal Reserve Board’s season-

ably adjusted index of industrial pro- duction, which had been rising rapidly for several months, declined irom 100 per cent of the 1923-1925 average in July to 90 per cent in August.

"The principal decreases were in pri- mary textile industries, in flour milling and in output of steel ingots, which declined somewhat from the level of July. There were Increases during the month in production of petroleum, non- ferrous metals and cigarettes, and out- put of lumber and coal increased sea- sonally.” * * *

“The general average of wholesome commodity prices fluctuated within a narrow range during August and early September at a level about 17 per cent above the low point of last Spring Prices of individual commodities showed divergent movements, decreases being reported for prices of domestic agri- cultural products, while prices of many manufactured goods of coal, petroleum and other industrial raw materials in- creased. During the second and third weeks of September prices of commodi- ties in organized markets advanced con- siderably.”

WINKLER ARRESTED; i POLICE SEEK KELLY

Nation-Wide Crime Network

Laid to Syndicate by Detectives.

By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, September 25.—The Na- : tion-wide hunt for machine gunners who recently robbed four Chicago Fed- eral Reserve Bank employes of several bags of mail and slew a policeman took on new impetus today following

! the arrest of Ous Winkler, a “public enemy," and the announcement that George (Machine C un) Kelly was also being sought.

Kelly is also wanted for participating in the killing of five men at the union station in Kansas City June 17, when gunmen made an unsuccessful attempt to liberate Frank Nash, convict.

Winkler, who received widespread notoriety last year when he turned back some *700.000 worth of securities taken by robbers who held up the tibi- coln, Nebr., National Bank Sc Trust Co.. was seized, with his wife, in their fashionable Lake Shore drive apart- ment last night, and after a brief ques- tioning was locked up for further in- quiry. Chief of Detectives William Schoemaker and Melvin H. Purvis, head of the Chicago Bureau of Inves- tigation, did not disclose what informa- tion, if any, they obtained from the prisoner.

Automobile Traced. The arrest of Winkler resulted from

the tracing, police said, of an automo- bile used by the mail robber killers to a garage of Joseph Bcrgl. described by the investigators as one of Winkler's one-time business associates. Through pictures the police said they had been able to identify the owmer of the auto- mobile as Machine Gun Kelly, the Southwestern desD"rnrin

In addition, ballistic experts said they had linked the killing of Police- man Miles Cummingham. slain by the mail robbers as they flew from the scene of their robbery last Friday, with the Kansas City Union Station slaying by finding a similarity in the bullets used. The bullets that ended Police- man Cummingham's life were like those taken from the bodies' of four oncers and Nash at Kansas City, they

The reported linking of the two crimes caused Detective Chief Schoe- maker to say that police had evidence mat the gunmen who committed the Cnicago robbery were members of an interlocking gang operating on a Na- tion-wide basis.

Syndicate Is Sought. Winkler was arrested shortly after

ponce had given out the information that James ‘Fun Sammons. Vern Mil- ler. Claude Maddox, all reputed hood- lums. were sought as members of the syndicate believed by police to have been committing hold-ups and kidnap- mgs on a wide scale. Kelly Is wanted m connection with the kidnaping of Charles Urschel. wealthy Oklahoma City oil man. for which his alleged as- sociate. Harvey Bailey, is now on trial * ?£t€ctl,vT, who trailed a chauffeur

DOCTORS WARN NOISES IN CITIES

BREED CRIME AND SHORTEN LIFE

By the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES. September 25.—A

scientist and a medical man warned here today the world is growing toe

noisy. The automobile horn, sound picture

and loud speaker were cited as signs of the progress toward bedlam.

‘Americans, to a large extent," said Dr. ern O. Knudsen, physicist and acoustics expert at the University of California at Los Angeles, “are paying in a shortened tenure of life, lowered mental faculties and reduced efficiency for the noise amid which they Just work and live.”

"One can be drunk on noise,” added County Health Officer Dr. J. L. Pome- roy. “Noise causes injury to the ear

drums, disturbs digestion and gives high blood pressure. It is one of the causes of gangsters. Records show that

•k

—

mcst automobile accidents occur at J noisy intersections."

Los Angeles, said Dr. Pomeroy, is. about 60 units loud, where the normal should be 30. Chicago, as measured by ] the audiometer, has been named as the noisiest city with 65 units. New York is rated at 55.

A committee appointed to survey the 1

racket here divided it as follows: Street] cars and railroads. 35 per cent; vehicu- lar traffic. 20; loud speakers, 15 per cent; miscellaneous, 30. The commit- tee urged enforcement of existing and passage of new sound-abating laws, but the City Council turned a deaf ear.

But, Dr. Knudsen said, “the task of noise reduction in buildings has become one of the most important problems of modern times. Modern building ma- terials have been found to reflect 90

per cent of the sound that strikes them, but most of this could be avoided by proper construction and design.”

Senator Wheeler, who returned to Washington today, has recovered al- most entirely from the injuries he re- ceived recently in an automobile acci- dent.

“The remonitization of silver." Wheeler said, "presents by far the best method of inflation which is greatly needed in this country at this time. Business in general expects a measure of inflation by the Roosevelt adminis- tration. If no inflation comes, with a rising of commodity prices, there will be tremendous disappointment, followed by another crash."

"Credit Expansion" Failed. Senator Wheeler said "credit expan-

sion" had been attempted under the Hoover administration, but had not filled the bill. He Insisted it would not suffice now

“I do not propose that the Govern-, ment shall buy silver and make it into dollars or hold it as a basis for paper money. continued the Montana Sen- ator. “What I propose is that any one can take silver to a United States mint, and have it made into silver dollars, or can receive paper dollars in place of the

| silver which then will belong to the Government and can be held as a basis for the jiaper money."

The Wheeler plan is the old "free silver” plan of the Eryan days of 1896. It follows the line of the proposal he

! offered in the Senate last Spring and which was defeated by only half a dozen totes. The vote in the Senate at that time forced the adoption cf the Thomas inflation amendment to the farm relief act. which authorizes the

, President to use various kinds of meih- I ods to inflate the currency, among them the remonitization of silver as new

I again proposed by Senator Wheeler.

See* Inflation Measure.

“In my opinion.'- Wheeler said, "there i« go ng to be some measure of inflation. Either the administra- tion will bring it about before Ccn-

I gress meets in January or Congress i will put through a mandatory law after

j it meets. "The remonetization of silver is a

far better method of inflation than the issuance cf paper money. I have talked with one of the most prominent

, bankers in New York end he said ; frankly that he would much prefer the j remonetization of silver at a 16-to-l I ratio than a flood cf paper money

The difficulty with the issuance of paper money is that once it is started it is almost impossible of control.”

Senator Wheeler said that so far as silver is concerned, the country would not be flooded with that commodity. China and India would have to hold on to their own silver if they were to con-

j tinue to do business, he said. The ef- | feet of the remonetization of silver. 1 1 insisted, would be to expand ere 1

greatly, not only in the United SU but in other parts of the world, part iarly in the silver countries like Cf and India.

These nations, he said, would : be able to buy American goods v

they have been unable to do in quantities because cf the operatic the currency exchange against the

Country Would Bern-fit. Senator Wheeler insisted he was

seeking the interest of the silver \ ducers alone in hi* effort to of. remonetization of silver. They wc benefit, he said, but the great bene would come to the entire count through the further expansion of ere; and of currency. It would aid great! he said. In expanding our foreign trad>

The fact that the United States is today a creditor nation. Senator

; Wheeler continued, made the remcne-

] tization of silver a very different pro- posal than in 1836 when the country was a debtor nation. Furthermore the nation's gold supply is guarded now by action of the Government and the country is in no danger of being drained of gold if silver should be monetized at the ratio of 16 to 1,

So far Senator Wheeler has made no appointment with the President, but he hopes to do so within the next

| few days and to be able to talk over with the Chief Executive the entire situation. He is convinced that unless

j steps are taken to bring about inflation I within a short time, there will be a i recession in trade and that the whole

recovery program will fail. Such a : condition, he said, would be tremen- j dously serious for the country.
