INEWS Behind The NEWS By PAUL MALON Copyright 1933 by North American Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. -SENSE The inner coterie of soothsayers have Mr. Roosevelt's money policy all figured out. As they see it the president proving to be his own best finandial 1 advisers. They think he has Jooked just a little further ahead at the situation than the muddled experts who swarm about him.

These seers are betting their money that the President will not do anything important about the currency before congress meets. Then he will be able to play each congressional money faction against the other and get the soundest solution out of all of them. They do not guarantee that prediction, but they can now see, for the first time, how it would be wise and sensible, SOLUTION--It is such a simple solution that the smart boys 1 wonder why they never thought of it. The inflationists have been agitating for one course. The devaluationists have been demanding another.

The silver bloc has been pulling for its pet theories. And the alarmists have been running around crying about what congress would do when it convenes. Any course Mr. Roosevelt might choose now would put him on the defense against congress. He might have trouble holding the political bulls in line if he tries to take them by the horns, If he keeps a rein on them he can guide them.

These expectations have calmed down the more sensible agitators here. They have begun to recall that patience is a virtue. Also that headlong plunging will sooner or later bring you to a stone wall. Heads-up strategy may get you around it. PLANS--Mr.

Roosevelt's own personal plans for the next two months have not been announced, but they tend to confirm the expectations of the soothsayers. He expects to spend two weeks In the south, during the latter part of this month, He probably will go to Hyde Park for a week or ten days at Christmas time. That means he may be in Washington only half the time between now and when congress meets in January. RETREAT The President's home at Hyde Park is a perfect hideaway. No President has ever had one quite like it.

The press remains at his office in Poughkeepsie, five miles from his house. Annoying people includIng government officials cannot get near him. Similarly he can call in as many men as he wants to see privately without having his probable intentoins spread all over the country. For instance he could have Milo Reno or John D. Rockefeller in for lunch and no one would be the wiser.

That is why he likes Hyde Park so much. SILVER- The silver agitators have been hot the last few days. They passed the tip around in Wall 1 Street Monday that a 60 or 80 cent silver price was coming shortly. The trouble with their tips is that all of them have been wrong In the past. The flow of news on that subJect.

indicates very clearly that in the silver market and certain inthere is considerable speculation terests are encouraging it with rumors probably for their own private gain. They have cried wolf so often that even if they had a good tip, nO one would believe it. DEBTS -Those closest to the debt negotiations say the British effects to be expected from failure are being highly exaggerated. The Insiders knew from the first that agreement was almost out of the question in view of existing international monetary conditions. The time was not ripe.

(AP)- Jouett Shouse, president of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, said in an address last night that opportunity must be given in large cities for the purchase of liquor without the addltional expense of buying food.
