WHITE WASHINGTON, March 4. President Roosevelt, in a momentous address immediately after taking his oath today, told the nation he would ask for war-time powers if necessary" to meet the national emergency. The newly inaugurated president said he would call the new congress into special session to carry out his planned attack on the crisis, saying "We must act and act quickly," but he did not reveal when the session would be called. Among the policies outlined by the nation's new leader was that there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency. Even as the inaugural ceremonies were beginning, the new president was applying all his energy to a reconstruction of the banking situation, with a prospect of far-reaching action before his administration was many hours old.

As he conferred with his chosen advisers at his hotel suite, Herbert Hoover, a half mile away in the White House was ending his four troubled years of office, at gripa with the same problem. The whole inaugural scene was overcast with a feeling of suspense and tense expectancy. For the Inaugural Day March furnished a day a little too cool for comfort in the far-spreading reviewing stands along Pennsylvania but thousands assembled early nonetheless, making certain to miss nothing. The morning skies were dark, but the weather bureau promised clearing. Mr.

Roosevelt, up late last night, in consultation with members of his cabinet, was not yet astir in his suite at the Mayflower when the first of his advisers called this morning. He slept until after i o'clock, then breakfasted with Mrs. Roosevelt on grapefruit, soft-boiled eggs, toast, marmalade and coffee. Mr. Hoover was up early, but cancelled a scheduled last meeting of the medicine ball cabinet and went instead to the White Housa office of the presidential physician for a final physical check-up.

Half of Dormant Deposits Can Be Drawn in Certificates. A scrip plan designed as temporary expediency in the present local financial situation was adopted at a general meeting of business men in the Dayton Chamber of Commerce Saturday morn-in. Sponsors of the plan estimated that approximately $5,000,000 would be released immediately for circulation. This will be of material assistance in meeting pay rolls, Vhich in some instances have been passed, and paying other obligations which nave accrued during the past week due to the banking situation say sponsors of the project. The plan is the outcome of a series of meetings which have been held during the past 36 hours between a committee of the Chamber of Commerce and the Dayton Clearing House association, in which this plan was devised.

In brief, the plan provides for the issuance of scrip for general circulation locally in an amount equal to 50 percent of the net deposits now impounded in the three national banks here. Under the plan the depositor will sign his net dormant account to the clearing house association as security and in turn receive half of that amount in scrip. In ofer words an account of $5000 would be eligible to have serin ir. the amount of $2500 issued against it The clearing house association will issue the scrip paper and it is expected it will be accepted generally locally in lieu of money. The plan- stressed the fact that no depositor would be forced to accept the plan, but that his participation in it would be, entirely voluntary.

After the plan had been approved at the meeting petitions were signed by those attending requesting the clearing house association to inaugurate this method. Upon receipt of a sufficient number of them, the clearing house officials will start the mechanics of putting the plan in operation. As this scrip is only for temporary relief it will be redeemed as the hanks release additional amounts of the impounded money, the same as they did when banking business was resumed last Brlcker Works on Bill For Scrip to Meet State Obligations. COLUMBUS, March 4. WP A state bank guaranty law for Ohio may be recommended to the legislature next Wednesday by Gov, George White.

TAKECAPITAL Planes Scatter Chinese as Invaders March Into City. CHINCHOW, Manchuria, March 4. -UF While one Japanese brigade marched into Jehol city (Chengtefu), capital and chief city of the province of Jehol, this morning, another pushed southward from Lingyuan and occupied Lengkow pass in the Great Wall of China. The wholesale flight of Chinese to passes south of both Lingyuan and Jehol city was viewed by the Japanese as meaning the virtual end of the military campaign which began unofficially on Feb.

Meanwhile, as a more temporary March 4. JP The text of President Roosevelt's inaugural address follows: "I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our nation impels. "This is pre-eminently the time to speak the truth, the whola truth, frankly and boldly.

Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So first of all let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. "In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.

In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things. Values have shrunken to fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income; the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their produce; the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. "More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equally great number toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment.

"Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply. "Primarily, this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure and abdicated.

Bricker worked today on a bill to authorize an issue of scrip to meet the pay marched into Jehol city, last WASHINGTON, March 4. Bank holidays spread rapidly over New England and the middle west today bringing restriction on deposit withdrawals to most of the country. Only eight of the 48 states remained unaffected at midday. Two of these, Delaware and North Carolina, had taken legislative precautionary action to be prepared for emergency.

The other unaffected states were Montana, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, South Carolina and Florida. New York and Illinois joined the holiday states almost simultaneously with the issuance of gubernatorial proclamntions in the early hours of the morning. Missouri, Iowa, Rhode Island. Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Connecticut and Minnesota followed in quick succession. The Federal Reserve banks of New York and Philadelphia followed the action of their states.

The Federal Reserve closing checked withdrawals of gold by both domestic and foreign agencies. The New York Stock Exchange and the cotton exchange also closed for the period of the holiday. Representative Rainey of Illinois, speaker in the next congress, predicted that an extra session of congress would be called "at the earliest possible time," and added that next week "would not be too soon." Meanwhile, senate Democrats were preparing an emergency banking program for immediate consideration of the probable extra session. The London exchange suspended CONTIM EI ON PACK THRI.K WASHINGTON, March One brief legislative action today, the completion of formalities and the 72nd congress became history with many of the tasks it set for itself undone. Unreconciled differences left two appropriation bills for the new congress scheduled to meet within the next few days.

They were the $30,800,000 for the District of Columbia and the billion dollar supply measure for independent offices which carried founds for payments to veterans. The district bill failed to get through and President Hoover refused to sign the independent offices measure, saying in a curt statement that it had been raised $130,900,000 over his recommendations. The chief executive also refused to approve the Smith cotton bill. Its death signallized the almost complete failure of the lengthy program of farm tid which the congress outlined when it met last December. President Hoover's last minutes in office were busy ones.

Arriving at the Capitol with the president-elect, he went immediately to a room where bills rushed through in the closing hours awaited bis signature. Before his departure from the White House he had signed the $308,669,000 supply measure for the war department.

a half hour after a motor corps reached there. Bombing planes preceded them, scattering the Chinese. Meanwhile, the vanguard of the 14th infantry brigade under Maj. Gen. Heijiro Hattori, which went into action south of Lingyuan, pushed right to Lengkow, an important pass into the central section of North China.

This placed his troops directly on the northern boiaer of the Peiping-Tientsin area of China proper, where foreign observers believe the Japanese campaign will inevitably turn. It WA3 learned at the Japanese base heie that a majority of the Chinese troops formerly at Lingyuan and Pingchuan, cities captured earlier this week by the Japanese, tied directly southward instead of west to Jehol city.

White's study of the existing difficulties have not convinced him a state bank guaranty law is advisable. He disclosed at Washington where he is attending the inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt as president, however, that he has a recommendation for such a law under serious consideration. It would guarantee the repayment to depositors of all money placed in the state banks sinca the legislature permitted them to limit withdrawals but necessarily would not attempt to obligate the state for repayment of moneys deposited before enactment of the restrictive measures last Monday night.

UP) Eleanor Roosevelt, who as a girl and later as a young married woman watched two inaugurations from the side-lines, today was a cent'-al figure in a third one whicn placed her husband in office as the thirty-second president of the United States. For Mrs.

Roosevelt the day markfd the interruption of a full and nctive private life and the beginning: of possibly an equally active but more restricted public life. Her program was filled today.

In making this decision finally she was influenced also to a great extent by members of the Walsh family, who insisted that the senator would not have wanted any of the inaugural festivities cancelled in deference to himself.
