How he longed to strike with those
great, cruel claws of his! But he didn't

after another of the flock Hooty drifted,
and over each he paused for just q wee
space Of time. And then finally he
swung around back to the tree from
which he had flown.
Back in lonely part OF the Green
Forest was nest with three growing
young Owls. It seemed as II they were

But just as he had almost made up his
mind to do so, Honker awoke. Honker
Is light sleeper. The care Of that
flock Is on his mind. So he awoke often
to see that his flock was safe. He saw
no danger, but he had feeling that
danger was near. He spoke. It was a
low note, but instantly all those Geese
were awake. Hooty passed on. They
did not see him. They had felt his
presence, but they had not seen him.
For a few minutes they moved about a
little uneasily; then, once more, they
settled themselves to sleep.
BY this time Hooty knew that he did
not dare attack one Of those Geese. Had
one of them been injured, that would
have been another matter. And so he
went about his hunting and Honker
and his flock rested peacefully, not
knowing how very near those great
cruel claws had been.

It was even harder for Hooty than it

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Fed.
sral Reserve authorities have been
carrying on an extraordinary ex.

managed currency.
With the country endowed with
an excess supply of gold. the
banking authorities have been OF
the opinion that the automatic
checks to over-expansion, con.
nected with legal reserve require
ments, would be unduly belated.
Accordingly, for many months.
the Federal Reserve has sought
to place the brakes on credit ex.
pansion, irrespective of the fact
that the legal reserve require
ments OF the system were almost
twice net.
The Federal Reserve authorities,
In their managed currency expert
ment, have sought to substitute
human intelligence for automatic
checks In regulating the ups and
downs Of credit supply. This de-
parture from automatic reliance
! on gold reserves has been at the
center Of the factors which caused
widespread criticism and mIsun.
Outstanding.
The restrictive campaign was d.
reoted especially against the stock
market, and the reduction in brok-
ers' loans since the winters peak
indicates that the objective has
BEEN. at least partially obtained.
The unique phase of the last year
OF actual credit contraction Of
more than per cent has been the
steady advance In production to
new high levels.
Usually bank credit expands with
business prosperity, and deflation
Is deferred until subsequent reac-
tions In business. This time the
Federal Reserve has put the

The drop in the rediscount rate

director OF the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York. said that 1t
was believed that the reduction
"would tend to strengthen the for

buying power OF Europeans for
our cotton, wheat anG other food
supplies, and at the same time pro-
vide cheap domestic money for the :
movement OF the crops. 1t was
most important, not only in the In.

TO HELP GET BABY
Government of Venezuela
Keeps Child From Him, Oil
Operator Charges.
BY tie Associated Press.

BY tie Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 31.-An Ameri-
can oil operator in Venezuela arrived in
New York yesterday to enlist the aid of
the United States Government in es-
tablishing his right to the baby which
he says the Venezuelan government de-
liberately is keeping from him.
The operator, James E. Welsh, says
Senator William E. Borah of Idaho,
| chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee, has been apprised of the matter
and has turned the case over to the
State Department.
Behind Welsh's story rum a tragedy
of love apd melodramatic episodes. He
describes his tribulations as follows:
While in interior Bolivar Welsh met
and fell in love with Senorita Anita
Salazar. A child was born and the
birth vas entered as legitimate by
Venezuelan officials despite the lack OF
a marriage certificate. Shortly there
| after Welsh was called away to work,
Returning some months later, he said
he found the child'S mother had been
sold into white slavery. The baby was
being cared for by its maternal grand
mother. Welsh took the child and had
traversed 500 miles toward the drilling
| operations at which he worked when
he was arrested and thrown into prison
for kidnapping.
he spent 10 Gays IN jail before the
courts found the kidnapping charge
illegal and it was withdrawn. BY moi
finding in his favor, however, the court
left him without legal redress. Welsh
then journeyed from Ciudad, Bolivar. tC
| Caracas, where the American charge
d~'affaires aided him in getting a de-
cision that allowed him custody of the
child. The child then was turned over
to friends in Ciudad. Bolivar. who ir
turn advised him he would be killed
they feared, should he attempt to claim
his daughter.
1t was then, Welsh said, he decided
to come to the United States to enlist
the aid of the Government.
He plans to go to Washington today
to see Senator Borah, in whom he rests
his hope.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. October 3l.-Etienne Clemen-
tel, veteran French political leader,
went about in calm and businesslike
manner today the task of recruiting a
ministry, as France entered its tenth
day minus a government.
He already has assured himself of
the collaboration of Aristide BRAND, re-
signed premier, in the foreign Office
portfolio and, report has it. of Henri
Cheron and Louis Loucher to continue
in the finance and labor ministries.
His friends asserted there was every
reason to believe he would have a tenta-
tive ministry list ready to submit this
evening to President Doumergue.
The president yesterday called upon
him, after comforting with M. BRAND
and after announcement of failure by
Edouard Daladier, NJ. Clementels fell

1t was expected the list would have
a close resemblance to the last cabinet
of Raymond Poincare and would, in eff
feet, be a Center government, with a
strong Leftist tinge. M. Clementel him
sell was SAID 10 mGenQ 10 nOlQ the COM
merce ministry. 1t was expected his
Radical Socialist party would be allotted
the all-important interior portfolio.
l.. Political circles estimated he would
be able to count upon at least 800 votes
in the chamber, representing an ade-
quate majority. It IA hoped it would
be stable enough to permit him to hold
office until the Young plan and Rhine
land evacuation are disposed of and
the London Naval Conference is on
Guided.
Friend of President.
M. Clementel is IS years old, a veg
etarian of 20 years standing, a personal
friend of President Doumergue and one
of the best liked and most widely re-
spected men in the French Chamber.
He enjoys a particularly good reputa-
ton as a sound authority on financial
and economic questions.
A heated controversy has arisen be-
tween partisans of M. Daladier and M.
BRAND, the former considering M.
BRAND responsible for his failure to
form a government. M. BRAND has re-
piled he is working to further the great
est interest of France, whether the gov

Yale Is Given Funds
For Scientific Study
Of A%nthropoid Apes
Station to Be Erected at
Orange Park, Fla, for
New Experiments.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, october 81
A gift of $500, 900 from the Rockefeller
Foundation to Yale University has been
used to acquire 200 acres of land near
Orange Park, Fla, on which a labo-
ratory station for the breeding and
scientific study of anthropoid apes will
be erected. In announcing this yester-
day, DR.. James Rowland Angel, presi-
dent of Yale, said the Rockefeller
Foundation gift not only made possible
acquisition of the land, but also the
erection of the station and its mainte-
nance for 10 years.
One or more of the species of an
thropoids will be studied. These in
clude the chimpanzee, the gorilla, the
orang-uton and the gibbon. Study will
be made of the habits, social relations,
life history and ARCHAEOLOGICAL de-
velopment of these animals, because OF
their close relation to man Structurally
and functionally and their resemblance
to him in their ability to learn.
The psychobiologic studies will be IN
observational field camps in Africa and
Malaysia, already begun by DR.. Harold
Clyde Bingham of Yale, and in Belgian
Kongo, Central Africa. Another Yale
staff member will go to Kinda in
French Africa.
