Dispatches from financial centers attributed the day's dizzy plunge, carrying prices to their lowest level since spring, to lack of Treasury buying. For hours there were no bids at all. Whether the Treasury's statement, made through Herbert Gaston, assistant to Secretary Mor-genthau, meant some move to offset the day's developments might be expected, was not made clear. Morgenthau Is Mum. Morgenthau declined a request for a special press conference.

For weeks there have been intermittent charges that the Treasury, to all practical purposes, had abandoned its silver purchases, causing much unrest among the representatives of Western silver producing States. The silver buying program, laid down by Congress in June, 1934, called for purchases of at least 50,000,000 ounces a month, or until the Treasury's silver reserves have a value one-third of that of its gold reserves. An alternative goal fixed by the act is to continue the buying program until the metal price reaches $1.29 an ounce. By making the silver reserves one-third the value of the gold reserves, the silver stock would be one-quarter of the monetary stock. In addition, it gave discretionary power, later exercised, for the President to nationalize silver held privately, Under other au- thority, the Treasury buys all the (Continued on Page 12.)

CITY REPRESENTED By DAVE BROWN. Staff Correspondent The Courier-Journal. Frankfort, Dec. 10. Beneath lowering skies, along streets packed with spectators and whipped by chill winter winds, Kentucky marched today a procession triumphant, welcoming to office the young Governor it elected a month ago.

For nearly two hours the largest inaugural procession in the history of Kentucky wound along Frankfort streets, and past a reviewing stand at the Capitol, where an incoming and a retiring Governor watched its passage. Crowds Line Sidewalks. Crowds, applauding each section of the vast procession as it swung into view, lined the sidewalks throughout the mile-long line of march in some places one rank deep, in others ten and more. Wind, crisp and edged, swept the ranks of marchers, rattling the few dried leaves that still hang, and a weak winter sun failed to pierce the gray cloud ceiling above, heavy with threat of snow. Frankfort oldsters, huddled like the rest with hands in pockets and chins deep in mufflers, marveled as the line, apparently endless, swung by.

"I've lived here, man and boy, fcr seventy-three years," mur mured one, "and this is the biggest I've ever seen. It's four times as big as the one four years ago." He was told that the last of the first division was just passing that there were six more divisions to come. "My God," breathed the old man. Bigger Than Laffoon Parade. He was right, and wrong.

Bigger; than the Laffoon inaugural parade, todays parade was not four times as large, but it did require at least a half hour more to pass, and dry weather heightened its effect, the Laffoon parade proceeding in driving rain, though on a warmer day. Forming at 9:30 a.m. in North Frankfort, its sections extending northward along seven streets, the parade started at 11 a.m., upon the explosion of an aerial bomb oir E. Broadway. South on High to Main, West on Main and through other downtown streets to the river bridge, the line passed, each succeeding section joining in as its predecessor passed the street where it was stationed.

Heading the line was Maj. Carl D. Norman. Fort Knox, grand marshal, with mounted aids and orderlies. Immediately following came the blue-uniformed color guard of James Wallace Costigan Post, American Legion, Newport, and the post's drum and bugle coips, brilliant in red and blue.

Behind ihe corps drove the official carriage, an open victoria, bearing Governor Laffoon, Gover eiect cnanmer. cmet justice William Rocers Clay and Judge Boone Hamilton, master of ceremonies. Four horses drew the equipage, which reached the foot 'of Capitol at 2d at 11:15 Go to Reviewing Stand. There the victoria, and a num- iber automobiles following, left the line, moving to the reviewing stand, at the foot of the Capitol steps to the left of the Goebel Monument. The line again began to move.

Washington, Dec. 10 UP) Call-ng upon business to co-operate cutting unemployment, a wide ariety of organized labor groups oday threw their support to the ontroverted Administration ef- ort to create a new industrial ouncil.

Some industry representatives till here nevertheless repeated heir refusal to name delegates to he council, and contended the reater part of business would not represented.

10. Shir-ty-seven-year-old A. B. "Happy" Chandler, surrounded by notables of the State and Nation and tens of thousands of became Governor of 2,600,000 people of Kentucky today. On the temporary stand in front of Kentucky's Capitol, with fine mist falling, Mr.

Chandler, Keen Johnson and W. B. Ardery, their right hands resting on the Bible, took the oaths of offices as Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Circuit Judge of the Fourteenth Judicial District. Judge William Rogers Clay, Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals, administered the oaths. From the same stand four years ago Mr.

Chandler took the oath as Lieutenant Governor. Today, as then, Gov. Ruby Laffoon was W-th Mr. Chandler, then as the new Governor, today as the retiring executive. Ceremonies Are Brief.

The inaugural ceremonies were briefer than the inaugurals of former years. A longer parade, beginning shortly after 11 a.m. and lasting until nearly 2, delayed the program at the Capitol until 1:45 p.m. Mr. Chandler officially became Governor at 1:58 p.m.

Five minutes later the nineteen-gun salute had reverberated back and forth between the hills of Frankfort and benediction had been said. Mr. Chandler went promptly to the executive offices in the new Capitol, where for two hours he greeted, the throngs that filed by. "My joy at the opportunity to serve you," Mr. Chandler said in his inaugural address, "is unbounded.

I commenced the campaign in Kentucky this year with high hopes, with a smile upon my face and a song in my heart." Then Mr. Chandler pledged himself to "undertake earnestly vo solve correctly the problems of a great people." Inaugural Stand Crowded. From the reviewing stand where Mr. Chandler watched the parade go by, a flying wedge of police made tedious progress with Mr. Chandler and his personal escorts to the inaugural stand, some 500 feet nearer the Capitol Building.

The inaugural stand was so packed the guard rails threatened to break under the pressure. Former Govs. A. O. Stanley, J.

fMall to Whington, D. f) Heated Closing Arguments Given; Reed's Collapse Delays Cotton Act Case. Washington, Dec. 10 UP) The sudden collapse of Solicitor-Gen eral Stanley Keea iorcea a pre-t mature adjournment of the Supreme Court today shortly after the constitutionality of A.A.A. had been taken under advisement.

Making his third plea to the nine Justices within twenty-four; nours tins time for the Bankhead Cotton Control Act Reed abrupt sat down in the midst of pointed questioning and indicated he could not continue. Chief Justice Hughes adjourned court. Attaches said Reed would be able to resume his "friend of the court" defense tomorrow. Regimentation Denied. Two hours earlier, the Solicitor-General had heatedly denied that the Agricultural Adjustment Act mainstay of the Administration farm program regimented American agriculture.

He spoke after George Wharton Pepper, former Pennsylvania Republican Senator and Counsel for Hoosac Mills, had concluded an attack on A.A.A. with the ex- pressed hope that "not in my time may the land of the regimented be accepted as a worthy substitute for the land of the free."

U. OF L. ALUMNI DRIVE STARTED University of Future Is Envisaged At Dinner; Plans Told. The University of Louisville of the future, with Belknap Campus as an educational and fine" arts center, was envisaged Tuesday night at a dinner-meeting of the university's alumni association, launching the first annual alumni fund campaign. Dr.

Raymond A. Kent, president of the university, presented the principal picture of the physical development of the university and Belknap Campus. Increased en- velopment is the major problem faced by the board of trustees and university administration.

Persons who called WHAS by telephone Saturday night during the staff artists' benefit program for the Fresh Hope Fund of The Courier-Journal and The Louisville Times completed payment Tuesday of nearly 50 per cent of the pledges they made. As a result the total stood at $22,840. A few more persons who can afford SI 00 gifts could do muchj for children stricken by infantile paralysis, if they could forward their contributions this week. The fund is appreciably short of the sum needed, but if the response this week proves large it may be possible to close the appeal for funds.

Forty-six donors, sending from $1 to $25, accounted for more than $212 gain Tuesday. Unpaid pledges from the radio program last Saturday night include one of $25, three of $10, nine of $5, two of $4, thirteen of $2 and thirty-six of $1. All sums pledged on radio programs should be mailed to the Fresh Hope Fund, in care of The Courier-Journal and The Times. The unpaid pledges left from the Morton Downey benefit are three of $10, twelve of $5, one of $3, nine of $2, one of $1.50 and fifty-one of $1, a total of $173.50. In justice to this Downey program, it should be pointed out that the payments have reached a total of approximately $500.
