BANKERS MEET
TO COMBAT
SLUMP
Federal Advisory Council
In Session With Reserve
Board After Seeing Hoover

Following a dinner last night
with President Hoover, the Fed
eral Advisory Council, composed
of business men and bankers
from each of the IL Federal Re.
serve districts, met today with
the reserve board to discuss the
many business problems of the
day and means by which the
reserve system may be of service
during the emergency.
The gathering was the regular
September conference. The coun-
Gil meets four times year. It
Is a statutory body and its func-
tion is advisory to the Federal
Reserve Board.
Course Was Unusual
President HOOver's course in
inviting members of the council
and Governor Meyer to the
White House was unusual and
was held significant of his desire
to keep in close touch with bust
ness developments throughout
the country and possibly to OBJ
tain additional ideas as to how
conditions may be relieved.
Among the subjects to come
before the meeting today was a
discussion of the means by which
reserve banks may assist agri-
culture and industry during the
depression. Commercial paper of
90-day maturity and agricultural
paper of nine months maturity
is eligible for rediscount at the
Federal Reserve Banks under the
law.
frequently Discussed
The question of reserve banks
carrying such paper for longer
periods has been discussed fire.
quently, but it is doubtful if
amendment of the reserve act to
this effect would be favored by
the administration or the council.
The short maturity has been
fixed to bring about a high
Iquidity of paper held by the
reserve banks.
The board, however, does have
some latitude in providing for
eligible paper beyond the ques-
ton of maturity.

Army Dredger
Sinks In Sea,
Crew Rescued

NAHANT, Mass, Sept. IS. U.P)-
Coast guards rescued the entire
crew of 10 today when the army
dredger Toledo, swamped by heavy
seas, foundered suddenly four miles
off Bass Point.
The huge dredger went to the
bottom in 40 feet of water within
20 seconds after it became unman-
ageable.
Only heroic work by the crew of
the coast guard cutter 278, which
was quickly at the scene, prevented
heavy loss of life, it was believed.
Thirteen members of the Toledo's
crew were transferred to the coast
guard cutter with little difficulty
despite the rough waters. But the
last six, including Captain George
Kay of Philadelphia, had to be lit
orally dragged through the water
to save them from death.
The 1900 ton dredger with a re-
placement value of close to 1,000,-
900 was enroute in tow of the Bos-
ton tug Clara Doane from Boston
to Lynn when it sank. The Toledo
was to have participated in cere-
monies marking the opening Of a
million dollar dredging project in
Lynn harbor today.

CLIFFORD PLANS
FOR UNEMPLOYED
TOLD IN RADIO

WASHINGTON, Sept. 49, W.P)-
Americas employed should spend
money in order to give work to
those now unemployed, Walter 6
Clifford, director of the Presidents
organization on unemployment,
urged in the program for local re-
lief he has placed before the ma
tion.
Speaking over nationwide radio
hookups, Clifford urged:
l. That state wide committee
Of leading citizens be appointed by
the governor of each state.
2. That an emergency commit
tee be organized in every commun-
ity where there is an unemployment
program.
3. That this local committee in
form itself as to the probably un-
employment load this winter and
develop ways and means for meet
ing it,
4. That each local committee in
form its state committee as to its
organization and plans.
Clifford assured his audience that
the period of economic distress is
but temporary and can be met ef-
fectively with emergency measures.
He urged the employed to spend
money in order to aid those out of
work.

Typographical
Error Proves
Press Is Read

That Imperial Valley Press dis
play advertising is widely read was
proved recently when a typograph-
ical error caused a rush for bar
gains at local store.
Yesterdays Press carried a large
advertisement of the I. v. Hard
ware store which listed many items
for the closing days OF the home
coming sale A sale Of radios was
included in a small section and in
the rush of publication, a typo
graphical error was made in prices.
The sale price on two radio models
was given as 50.
Many readers called at the hard
ware store or telephoned for one
of those bargains. The mistake
was explained satisfactorily and to-
day the Press carries correction
with radio prices which are bar
gains even though not as low as 50.

HEALTH EXPERT
SCORES WEALTH
In RADIO TALK

NEW YORK, Sept. 30. U.P)-
Wealth makes "mollycoddles' of its
.possessors, and leaves them unhap-
py, in the belief of Bernarr Mac
Fadden, publisher of health mag
azines who recently announced Gre
alton of a $5,000,O00 charitable
foundation to perpetuate his health
ideas.
You can't find a single happy
family in the wealthy class" Mac
Fadden said in a radio address,
which he elaborated on for the
United Press. Wealth for them
means ostentation and display.
Families that inherit money are
even worse. The family degener-
ates with each generation. They
don't conduct their own business
affairs, but have to hire someone
to do it for them. They have no
brains and no happiness"
The publisher has set aside a
fund Of $l,500000 for his family, he
said.
THE amount is 10 times greater
than it should be-" he added, 'but
would rather be criticized for Civ.
ing my family too much than too
little"
1T is source of indescribable
relief to feel like free man again.
Too much money unwisely used
makes people greedy and ungrate-
full, destroys the home, steals your
happiness, enslaves, enthralls you,
lowers your vitality, and enfeebles
your will

Call Conference
Of International
Credit Experts

According to c. w. Remele. man.
ager of the Imperial Valley Credit
association, information just re-
ceived from Guy H. Hulse, secretary
and educational director of the Ma
tional Retail Credit association
states that an international credit
conference is being called for thor
ough and complete study of our
present economic system.
Delegates representing every gold
standard country in the world will
be invited to attend this confer
ence. The delegates will represent
every line of business extending
credit-both wholesale and retail.
Hulse pointed out that credit has
assumed gigantic proportions during
the past few years. National and
international business cannot be
prosperous unless supported by fun
damentally sound credit structure.
Ninety Eight per cent of the tran
sactions of all civilized countries
are conducted on a credit basis.
No international attempt, accord
ing to Hulse, has ever been made to
correct the Embellishments now ex-
isting in our credit system.
Cuthbert Greig, leading credit
expert of England, general manager
of the International Association for
the Promotion and Protection of
Trade, London, has been asked to
handle the details of the meeting
for Great Britain and Continental
Europe.
The conference will be held in

President Orders
Big Expense Cut

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. U.P)-
President Hoover has ordered the
navy department to reduce its 1888
budget from s401 100000 to $780,
100000, it was learned authorita-
lively today.
The navy construction program
understood to be favored by Mr..
Hoover would require 65,000,O00
for next year, an increase Of Sl5,-
100000 over this year. 1t is the
Presidents view that the increase
can be made up by economics TO
be effected in other ways in the
department.
