MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATED WIRE E-E E-S8 GIVES YOU THE Blft NEWS BEFORE ANY, OTHER PAPER i -'-ft' (FOLUME 32 CARBONDALE, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12,1935 NUMBER 2 ITALY BEGINS TO "SQUAWK" BE TAKEN BY FROMMUSSGU Spot Cash is Demanded By American Bankers For All Goods SMALL BUYING LIST CREATED Rome With Unfavorable Balance Has Been Hoarding Exchange (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. general refuaal to take Mussolini's I. O. U. for Italian purchases of American goods was indicated today in reports to the Commerce department.

Banking houses which make a business of financing snch tranae- tions were reported for the most part to be declining to grant the necessary credits. The movement, initiated even before hostilities commenced, was in line with action taken in August by the government-owned export-import bank in, refusing to extend credits for exports to Italy. Continuance of the- trend would mean that the Italian government, in effect, would have to produce spot buying in. the foreign exchange it is to find any considerable source of supplies in "America. To facilitate tliis, it was reported, the Italian government for months has been husbanding all available foreign exchange, or Italian-owned credits ill America, resulting from shipments of Italian goods in this country, tourist expenditures, immigrant remittances and the like.

The private control or such credits was made unlawful. At the same time severe restrictions were placed upon imports to Italy so that none might be wasted upon nonessential materials. The Johnson act forbids those governments which are in default on their war debts to: the United States to obtain loans here. Thus Italy is foreclosed from building up credits by selling bonds to the American people, as was done by the allied nations during the world war. Founders' Day At First Baptist Here Tomorrow Prof.

To Start Concert Ass'n Drive; Would Bring Attractions Considerable interest in the Carbondale Co-operative Concert Association is being displayed in neighboring towns, and local officers feel that these communities will be hearty in their support when the membership drive opens Monday, October 21.

Several meetings have, been held in nearby communities, and representatives from this city learned that many out-of-town patrons can be counted upon to attend the concerts that will be presented in the Shryock Auditorium at the college. The purpose of the Concert Association is to bring to Carbondale a number of high class musical attractions each year. Support for the project is to come from the membership that will be accepted during the week of October 21. A campaign will be staged at that time, and when the week is over the Association expects to have a fund which can be used to bring artists to Carbondale. Individual admissions to the concerts will not be sold, and no membership will be accepted when the campaign is formally concluded.

It is probable that three musical attractions will be offered here during the year. Selection of artists- will be made by a local committee. All revenue from the membership drive is to be handled by local officers who are making this a non-profit venture. The primary purpose of the Association is to bring, to Carbondale a number of competent artists, and at the same time eliminate any financial risk on the part of individuals or groups. Rev.

Charles N. Sharpe is the president of the Association, while Robert Dunn Faner, of the college faculty is membership chairman.
