President Roosevelt was prepared WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-(P)-; today to take over the nation's largest heap of outstanding goldy; that held by the federal reserve system--as a preliminary to eventual permanent devaluation of the dollar. He is believed to want all of this basic monetary commity in the treasury, along with a proper proportion of silver, to insure the power of new moves effecting the nation-old monetary policy. Just when the next step in the national managed currency program will come, Mr.

Roosevelt is very carefully keeping to himself. One thing is certain, however: he intends to manage the new money program himself. Arguments as to whether the administration could call in the serve system's gold were answered calmly president late yesterday with the declaration that he had the power, under the Thomas amendment, to order the entire 600,000,000 held into the treasury's vaults. step is regarded as sary by most monetary experts to insure that no outside profit would result from permanent devaluation of the dollar. This, of course, would result in an increased price for all the gold outstanding.

A burst of reportorial questions yesterday as to when and if he would call in the federal reserve gold and when he would announce his next dollar move, merely caused the president to smile and leave the queries answered only by a of his hand. wave At his regular semi-weekly interview, however, he did newspaper say he had no speeches in mind for the near future and indicated the same would hold for any further personal appearances before congress. He made it plain he ed the complex monetary problem as one outside of public discussion. At the same time little or no interest was manifest at the White House over the several moves on Capitol Hill for hearings and discussions about this problem. Meanwhile, both senate and house chambers remained quiet due to a week-end recess.

Then the senate will take up the controverted St. Lawrence pact again and the house will turn to tax matters. Mr. Roosevelt considers that congress already has given him virtually all the power he needs, over the monetary situation, beyond knowledge that his ultimate goal is a price level for commodities equal to that of 1926 and a dollar that will pay off debts at the price then bargained for, even favored monetary experts appear not to know what his future moves will be. This holds good also for the international exchange side of the picture, although Mr.

Roosevelt has indicated he does not think the time is right for stabilizing the dollar permanently with the British pound and the French franc.

CONFESSION OF MRS. WYNEKOOP WILL BECOME FIRST MAJOR POINT OF CONTROVERSY IN HER TRIAL HER ATTORNEYS Announce Intention Of Filing Mot tion To Suppress Next Monday CHICAGO, Jan. 13-(AP)-The much publicized "confession" Dr. Alice Wynekoop made after the death on an operating table of her pretty daughter-in-law, Rheta, is to become the first major point of controversy in her trial in criminal court for murder.

"We will charge that the statement was obtained by duress and as such is not legally admissible," Attorneys Milton D. Smith and W. W. Smith said yesterday after the jury which is to decide Dr. Wynekoon's fate had been selected.

The attorneys contend that duress in law does not necessarily mean brutality, but includes intensive questioning and say they are prepared to argue that the ment Dr. Wynekoop made to the police was not signed until after she had been questioned continuously for twenty-four hours.
