"GeologistS claim this field is the
greatest remaining gold basin in the
United States" Mrs. Brown said.
my husband staked claims there
thirty years ago, but was not able
then to extract ore from them.
THE field never has been touched

THE new field does not include
the hex and Johnny mines, but they

Impartial observers are agreed
that the governments policies, while
unquestionably necessary and bound

run, have contributed to the pres

Gold Embargo Off
The primary plank in Premier
Yuko Hamaguchi's cabinets plat
form was removal Of the embargo
on exports of gold and silver which
had prevailed since the World war,
and to this end, the premier and
his colleagues consistently have
urged empire-Wide governmental
and popular retrenchment.
The embargo was taken off Jan.
II after the yen had been forced
up to par on the American dollar.
Depression set in almost at once.
1t may be attributed to these fac

report. Senator Mcclellan said today
he favored continuation of the in

Brown and Newton have directed

in the four states of South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida and Mississippi
mentioned by the President in his
reform statement a year ago. AS
dispenser Of postoffice patronage,
Brown has played the largest part
in determining who should be rec

Nov however, the committee has
been informed that Brown and
Newton recently conferred with Ben
Davis, ousteC Negro national COM
mitteeman, and with Davis lieuten-
ant, G. s. Flanders. Davis is said to

The recent conferences with Da-

In view of the denmciation and
