ALTOONA TRIBUNE, ALTOONA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1988 Borah Urges Bi-Metallism Declares No 'Sound And Efficient' Monetary System Should Ignore Silver WASHINGTON, Nov. -Senator Borah reentered the monetary debate today to throw his full weight behind the demand for a broader metallic base for currency by the use of silver. In a letter to James P. Warburg of New York, a former official economic adviser to President Roosevelt, the Idaho Republican Independent took issue with Warburg's proposal for a revaluation the dollar in terms of a modernized gold standard and asserted no "sound and efficient" monetary system 1 should leave silver out of the picture. Warburg had outlined his revaluation plan in accepting a challenge by Borah to critics of Mr.

Roosevelt's money policy to stop finding fault unless they had a specific remedy to offer. Borah told the New York financier-economist it was "refreshing" to read his "candid admission that the old orthodox system is obsolescent and the whole subject is open to fair discussion." He said he enjoyed seeing a debate of the question without encountering "a deluge of such terms as demagogues, dishonest dollar, cheap dollar, repudiation, communists, crooks and idiots." But he contended Warburg's! plan had, many "elements of uncertainty" in that it would have to be a undertaken in conjunction with Great Britian and a the entire "sterling bloc," and effected only after a long period of trial and error. After quoting the governor of Imperial India and Sir Henry Shell, Deterding, impo of ance Royal Dutch silver as a monetary element, Borah concluded: "Leaving aside all questions as to the use to be made of silver in the monetary systems of the world, it seems perfectly evident that no monetary system can in the be considered sound and efficient which does not reto millions of people the store, which they have used for 3,000 years, which they desire to and which they will use if use, permitted to do so. "The property loss incurred, the widespread misery entailed, by reason of taking away for 000,000 people their only medium of exchange, method of saving, having was its origin in that blind a selfish, brutal thing, greed which often works its own ruin."

Patterson Pleads For General Support Of Cause Continuation of the Red Cross roll call drive until the goal of 6,000 Blair county members is gained has been determined upon by Blair county chapter officials and volunteer leaders in the campaign. The drive, scheduled to close on Thanksgiving, Day, will continue into December. Despite steady progress made since the opening of the roll call on Armistice Day, November 11, the 400 volunteer workers have been unable to secure the high membership quota set for this county by national headquarters.

Present financial conditions, under which public spirited citizens have been unable to join the roll call, were cited as having delayed the complete success of the drive. "Present economic conditions make this decision necessary," said Judge Marion D. Patterson, drive chairman, yesterday. Hopes that rapid economic improvement, forecast for the month of December, will permit hundreds of willing citizens to become members of the Red Cross have prompted organization leaders to continue the drive into this month. In announcing the continuation of the drive, Judge Patterson issued the following statement: "I hope that every citizen of Blair county will avail himself or herself of the opportunity for membership in the Blair Red Cross chapter," stated the judge.

"This is indeed a privilege to have 3 hand in the mighty work that the Red Cross is performing in these stressing times." The Red Cross has rendered a service to the people of Blair county in its relief activities within the past year that make it worthy of every citizen's support, without considering any of the other commendable activities of the Blair chapter, the judge set forth today. "Our county needs the Red Cross and cannot let this organization fail just when it is needed most. We must do our part and in so doing, we will be joining in a work that is without parallel for its worthiness and success." All volunteer Red Cross workers are urged to complete solicitation in their districts, and to report results to headquarters in the Commerce building as soon as practicable. Citizens unaccountably missed by the workers are requested to bring or send their membership contributions to the district headquarters workers still in the field.

WASHINGTON, Nov. -In a statement replying to Alfred E. Smith's criticism of the public, works public fund, works Secretary administrator, Icksaid today "it is to satisfy ani man who is nourishing a grudge as the result of disappointed ambitions." "Mr. Smith is permitting his resentment against the administration to run away with his judgment," Ickes added.

He is making another mistake. He is apparently under the illusion that the coining of sarcastic phrases lu the hurling of epithets will be misunderstood by sober citizens for sound reasoning based upon a careful study of the fact. "The public works administration has functioned efficiently to date in spite of Mr. Smith and will survive this latest outburst. The civil works administration was a logcal developmen of he puble works program.

Its conception denoted real statesmanship. "It was designed to and in fact is taking up the slack in employment that in the nature of things the public works administration could not hope to reach. "The people understand thoroughly what is the matter with Mr. Smith, even those who love him and have delighted to follow him in the past feel too deep a pity for him to want to engage in any personal controversy."

Since then four men have been slain and another taken on a one-way ride that barely failed of its purpose. Each case was noted by police as an incident in the first outbreak of gang warfare here since the summer of 1932. Most notorious of the victims was Vernon Miller, the one-time South Dakota sheriff who found the end of the outlaw trail in ditch at Detroit's outskirts last night. Federal officers had called him the "toughest of the tough," but skull had been crushed, his unclothed body trussed up in jack-knife fashion. He had been dead for at least 24 hours.

At almost the same time Miller was slain, his sweetheart, Vivian Matthews, was sentenced in Chicago to a year and a day after admitting she and another girl had harbored and aided Miller in escaping when police sought there. Miller's body remained unclaimed in the county morgue tonight. Police considered and then digcarded a theory that Miller, suspected of being one of the machine gunners who mowed down five men in a Kansas City railroad station last summer, had been imported to kill Abe Axler and Eddie Fletcher, lieutenants in Detroit's gang. Miller, they finally decided, ranked too high in the underworld. to undertake such a routine gang killing.

Whoever did it, the bodies of the two purples were found in Axler's car along a roadside in nearby Oakland county last Sunday morning. Numerous rouge-stained cigaret stubs provided police with the theory that a woman, or WOmen, had lured them to their deaths. DR.
