E. Keiper of the Twelfth ward, Altoona, treasurer, were re-elected to their respective offices. George Sprankle, justice of the peace of Tipton, was voted into the organization as a new member. Justice of the Peace Sprankle was elected to the office at the recent election.

In that way, they asserted, dollars backed by the gold profit would find their way into circulation. Morgenthau came before the senate committee late in the day, accompanied by his legal advisor, Herman Oliphant, and the latter's assistant, John Layland. The tall, angular treasury head, stood at 'the head of the committee table and read from a prepared statement At its conclusion he submitted to questions from members of the committee, with Senator Glass of Virginia, co-author of the federal reserve law, and a Democratic authority on banking and currency legislation, asking some pointed questions regarding the constitutionality of the proposed gold In this the Virginia senator was joined by Senator McAdoo (D-Callf), like Glass a former secretary of the treasury, and Senator Gore, (D-Okla). Conservative Republicans also allied themselves with this trio of Democrats in questioning the government's right to take such action.

Then ht said that so far aa the Charles matter Is concerned, he has written to Hopkins about It and will have nothing further to say until his federal chief has had time to receive the letter. All sorts of rumors flew about capitol hill and among them were reports that Biddle's letter carries his resignation.

In addition to being CWA administrator, Biddle is executive director of the state emergency relief board. He is paid nothing for the federal work but draws $8,000 a year for the state job. The work of the two offices Is Interwoven and there was much speculation as to what the governor would do should Biddle's connection with the CWA be terminated. Biddle's telegram to Hopkins said that unless federal supervisors receive orders at. once 'to stop political choice of 2,000 enumerators, all of your orders about a non-political civil works administration will be rendered ludicrous." Observers agreed that this was rather "plain" language for a state administrator to address to his chief, especially in view of the fact that -he had been overruled on a question of policy only a few hours before.

MARKETS SEEK (From Pate 1) the program, and the quick establishment of the $2,000,000,000 sta-, billzation fund. Announcement that' the R. F. C. had terminated its foreign gold purchases prompted the belief that it would quickly be succeeded in its operations by the stabilization fund, to prevent the dollar from rising in the foreign exchange market.

World financial quarters will watch with intense interest the operations of the $2,000,000,000 American fund, along with those of the $1,900,000,000 British equalization fund, which started nearly two years ago. These two financial goliaths may co-operate to restore stability of world currencies, for eign exchange experts said, or they may begin a contest which would probably push France and the other gold countries off the gold standard, and prolong the chaos of currencies. ADS of the state the assistant district attorney told the aldermen tliat there are two specific charges which can be brought for violation of the new law. These charges include the possession, sale or transportation of any liquor not bearing the stamp of the state liquor store or any liquor unlaw- fully purchased prior to January 1, 1934. He said that there is a possibility of several cases where legal liquor was purchased prior to the establishment of the state stores but where this case arises, the owner must prove that it was legally purchased prior to the date of the liquor stores opening.

He said that this possibility will not remain for many months because this supply of liquor will shortly be consumed. All liquor sold or transported in the state must carry the, state store stamp unless it is being transported by a licensed manufacturer or importer. All liquor must be purchased however, through state stores, he said. DR. WYNEKOOP 4 (From Pate 1 no way a collapse," said Dr.

The men climbed upon it and the driver roared away in the direction of Lovelady." The horn of an automobile wai sounded continually during th shooting to guide the convicts and there were reports that the aid might have been Bonnie Parker, two-gun cigar-smoking companiot of Barrow on his three-year careei of major crime.

Besides Hamilton and Palmtr the convicts who escaped were: Henry Methvln, serving ten years; W. H. Bybee serving a life sentence, and J. B. French, 12 years.

Palmer was serving a 25-year sentence. Other prisoners in the group ol 17 who had just started to work made no attempt to escape. They told prison officials that Barrow manned the machine gun.

In the proceedings against the first of the major oil concerns, of ficials Indicated this was only one of a number of suits contemplated unless other concei heeded warn ings that have been given them. Most of these warnings, it was indicated, also involved alleged violation of rules 18 and 17 of article 5 of the oil code.

The first of these prohibits the use of "lotteries, prizes, wheels of fortune, or other trames of chance In connection with the sale of pe troleum products. The second says that those en gaged in the sale of petroleum products shall not grant special in ducements to prospective 'chasers or give away "oil, premiums, trading sta-nps" or free goods without permission of oil code authori ties. The government complaint said a prerequisite to participation in the contests conducted by the Babe was that the children drive to a Standard oil station or one of its subsidiaries. There the boys, or girls, are giv en coupons and the regulations call for their distribution to other persons, who in turn must present them at filling stations of the oil company. Upon such presentation, the chil dren are given credit for them.

Prizes go to those credited with the greatest number of coupons in the period between January 3 and April 4. A statement by the company said "it should be clearly understood. as emphasized by the radio an nouncement, that participation in the contest involves no obligation whatever to ake from the Standard Oil company of New Jersey or its affiliates." The District of Columbia Su preme court ordered the oil company to show cause why an injunc tion should not be issued against it and the hearing on its order was set lot January 30.

The play is universally acknowledged as one of the outstanding masterpieces of the modern theatre, a study rich in atmosphere and characterization.

Primarily a study of English life in a miserable artist's studio, it is an amazing ano vivid revelation of humanity. With a capable cast and a scenic production that has been built rn the finest detail, including intricate new ugnung eriects, "The Pigeon" promises to stand out as one of the bright SDots of the season.

EMERGENCY CORP. (From Pace between Ickes and McCarl, however, or a clarification of the let ter's attitude, officials of a number of federal corporations were uneasy.

In particular, directors of the federal surplus relief corporation wero wondering just how it would affect their sub-marginal land buying program for which WS.OOO.OT" was allocated only recently. The secretary said the press conference that one of the things which caused the clash with McCarl was the land buying contemplated by the housing corporation. His voice rose a bit as he asserted McCarl had ruled that "all land titles" n.ust be examined by the t-torney general's office. Poip'ng out that there were hundreds of small parcels in some tracts, Ickes said if this were done the attorney general's office wouldn't "have time to do anything else but examine titles." of its national holdings. Major Bohn pointed out that while the United States assigns a little over Bix per cent of its budget to defense, Italy assigns 25 per cent; France, 17.4 per cent; Japan 13.

"Certain lobbies in Washington are tearing down our defense system," he said. "We must fight these elements, many of which are Communistic. They would destroy the Citizens' Military Training corps, which builds up thousands of youths in our country every sum mer. They would abolish the Reserve Officers' Training corps in our colleges. These elements start such movements as have been re ported at Ohio State university.

The young men dispelled from school there are not to blame. They were only agents for Com munism. The major endeavored to correct the misconception that all under the department of war concerns fighting and defense. He said the harbors and rivers and great en gineering operations as dams and canals are administrated by the secretary of The war department proper can now buy only food and clothing for its men, he said. Citing examples of the inefficiency of the United States defense equipment, Major Bohn said many of our coast guns haven been shot since the Spanish American war.

He described our joastal defense as a "mockery." "Our motto should be Patriotic Preparedness Promotes Peace. National defense is insurance for peace," he concluded. In addition to the officers and directors, the following persons form the nucleus for the defense council here: Harry E. Clarke, representing the A. B.

In fact, he revealea tnAmv that tha hoard had recom mended to the President that such action be taken.

It felt, said Black, "that the reserve banks should nnt ha the beneficiaries of the en hanced value placed upon their gold by purely monetary policy 01 the government." While the senate committee be gan work on the legislation today, progress Was held up in the house hv dlanuta over whether the banking committee or the coinage committee should have jurisdiction over the bill. Both have claimed It Speaker Ralney ruled late today that the measure should go to the coinage committee, but mambera of the banklna committee signaled Immediately that they would protest the ruling and demand a vote in the house tomorrow on where the bill should go. The coinage committee occupied Itself with gathering material on methods of stabilizing the dollar. Father Charles E. Coughlin warmly praised President Roosevelt's program and exclaimed that unless congress enacted it there would be a revolution "that will make the French revolution look silly." Frank A.

Vanderlip, a New York banker, urged return to a "modernized gold standard," under which there would be no requirement that paper currency in circulation be backed with a required proportion of gold as at present Before leaving the stand, he said he favored the President's plan. Economists, not connected with the administration, studying President Roosevelt's proposals of yesterday saw in the proposed stabilization fund a potential instrument for a big increase in currency in circulation. The fund is to come from profits accruing from the increased value of gold stocks after devaluation of the dollar and is to be used primarily for purchases of foreign exchange and of gold abroad. These students of finance, said that buying pounds and francs, with which to buy gold abroad, and using money from the fund to pay for it would increase the cur- 'VOX in 1 jgfk CUPHY DXIE'LL PRETTY LONEW "TONIGHT- SO TRY AN' FIX SOMETWN EXTRA SPECIAL- AN TH' TABLE PRETTY rj Bnorruca A i50 THAT A MAN OH YES- AN ARTISTE, AHEML, PPvRTF SHOULD THAT MAKES -I A TOTAL, 7i ft; VI? lift 'L SET I Hi its organization. Scouting has penetrated the life- of many na tions, and has permeated the life of others." In seeking to convey an adequate impression otthe strength of scouting in the United States, Mr.

Wyland gave a striking illustration. "If you would line American Scouts along the Lincoln highway, they would make a solid line from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Golden Gate, every fifth man a with four companions in between. Giving statistics showing scouting is the most rapidly growing organization in the country today, the speaker disclosed plans of the national organization- to gain SO per cent of all young men as members of the organization. It is expected to hold at least half the total enrollment for four years to instill adequate training for citizenship. One-half of all members are in the United States," he declared.

Four important reasons for the success of the movement in this country were revealed by Mr. Wyland. They are: (1) The charter received from the federal government. Few such charters are held by other organizations, according to the speaker, who named the American Legion and the American Red Cross as the two outstanding organizations holding similar charters. The prestige resulting from this honor was held less important than the implication that governmental endorsement implies that the organization must always extend equal opportunties to all races and all creeds.

(2) Adequate organization. With representatives of every important group on the national board, the best advice on every matter is quickly available. Every group and every section tf the country is included in the marvelous organization, according to the speaker. "The standardization of achievement made possibl' by this close organization vital," he said. (3) The attraction and value of the Scout Progia-a.

Education in life-time valu from the earliest ages to maturity was asserted to be the essential program of scout ing. "Beginning at 9 with simple crafts, there are six differ- it in-e difficult routes of education to citizenship at 21. "Boys are interested in immediate satisfaction, men in life-time values. Scouting can meet the demands of both," Mr. Wyland said.

(4) Cooperation of other organizations. "Ninety-five per cent of our success is due to the support of the churches," Mr. Wyland stated. "The churches lead all other organizations by large margins everywhere. In Altoona, 79 per cent of all troops are sponsored by the churches.

The averages elsewhere is close to 50 per cent." The cooperation of the school was also cited as contributing heavil. to the success of scouting. The program of scouting will be the youth movement of America to match Fascism of Italy, the Black Shirts of Germany, and the Communists of Russia, said Mr. Wyland. "It will not be revolutionary terrorism, but Constitutionalism; it will solve our problems not by revolution, but by evolution." In closing, Mr.

Wyland called upon the -hurch to spiritualize the program of scouting. The annual report of the Blair Be 'ford council, submitted by Scout Commissioner Dr. W. A. Green, showed a substantial increase in the membership of the council during the past year, despite adverse conditions.

An Increase from 943 members to 1,126 members was shown in the report. An attendance of more than 800 at the summer camps maintained by the council, togetht with the presentation of 176 training school certificates showed advances in other (important lines. "All records were broken for promotions and advancements," said Dr. Green. "We advanced the largest class of quartermasters ever recognized in the history of Sea Scouting in the United States." Following the presentation of Lynn Brua III, international Jamboree scout, Scoutmasters' Keys were presented by the retiring president John C.

Scholl, to C. B. Wilson of Altoona and Elwood Snyder of Tyrone. A scouter's gold key was presented by Mr. Scholl to Fred Gartner of Tyrone.

Recognition of Troop 5, scoutmaster, Paul Robinson, as a standard troop by Executive John L. Taylor followed. The troop made a total of 392 points out of a possible 400 in efficiency ratings. Each member of the troop will wear three stars in token of the troop's ability. Presentation of the -Silver Beaver, highest award given to scout-ers, to W.

H. Mikel came as a surprise announcement. The presentation was made by Richard Green, sea scout quartermaster, in a few brief remarks. Ceremonies of installation of officers of the council brought the program to a conclusion. The officers, installed by Benjamin C.

Jones, toastmaster, are as follows: President, Levi Gilbert; vice presi dent, G. W. Shaffer, second vice president, Ivan E. Garver, Roar ing Spring; third vice president, Benjamin C. Jones, Tyrone; fourth vice president, Robert Kay, of Bedford; scout commissioner and na tional representative, Dr.
