From Edgar Ansel Mowers book Germany Puts the

It is not cheerful news for Germany or for the rest
of the world but it suggests that the young people of

President Roosevelt will press his
credit expansion program at a confer
ence tomorrow night at the White
House with Secretary Woodin and his
aides.
Getting into circulation the millions
of dollars still locked up in closed

Of deposits now lying idle in the banks

He will return from his week end

arrive here tonight.
There is talk Of currency imitation
here, as usual, but no confirmation at
the White House that this step is con-
templated just now.
It appears to be the intention of
Mr.. Roosevelt to call upon the bankers
to put forward the credit which he feels
they have available If they do not
act. he has the power from Congress
to issue new currency.
A new proposal is in prospect for

The report is the result of an inten-
sive study of the question since Mr..

U. S. to Keep Farm Purchas-
ing Power in Line With
Industrial Boosts.
CONTROL OF PRODUCTION
HELD LOAN INSURANCE
Officials Believe Plan Will Take
Credit Program Out of Price
Fixing Glass.

Copyright. 1888. by the Associated Press)
Extension of the administrations
plan for supporting cotton prices of 10
cents pound to other major farm
products today became the immediate
objective in the Governments efforts
for lifting farm purchasing power
quickly to keep pace with Industrial
price boosts
The program will take the form Of
gigantic effort to place "a bottom"
Under farm prices through extension
Of credit wherever it can be definitely
coupled with production control.
This was disclosed as officials of the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
tlon. jubilant over the cotton plan,
centered their efforts on the subject
with their hopes for prompt relief for
agriculture at the highest point in the
last three months.
Insurance for Loans.
Production control is regarded by
farm officials as insurance for the Gov
ernmentS loans, and as assuring an in
fluence on the supply Of a commodity
so as to assure improvement of demand.
They believe this feature will take the
credit plan definitely out of the class of
arbitrary price fixing and as distinct
from stabilization efforts undertaken by
the old Farm Board.
Both of these methods, they assert,
ignore excessive supply and overproduc-
tion and would be doomed to failure
because OF the potential high producing
capacity Of agriculture
officials of the Farm Administration.
the Reconstruction Corporation and the
Farm Credit Administration today
were busy comforting over details of the
plan to lend Southern cotton farmers
10 cents a pound on this years crop,
with hope that announcement of the
program would be made in the next few
days.
Some Difference of Opinion.
The general plan was announced
yesterday when only a broad outline
had been decided upon. 1t was reit-
Grated that the 10 cents a pound would
be loaned on the basis of farm prices,
which would mean an increase OF
more than a cent a pound over ex-
change prices that have prevailed for
the past several days.
There was still some difference of
opinion over whether cotton growers
must agree to join in the control pro-
gram for next year before the loans
would be made. But it was the gen.
eral opinion today that some proviso
for participation in the plan intended
to reduce the crop to 25000,000 next
year would be required before farmer
could get the 10 cents a pound ad-
vanced on his staple.
Some doubt existed as to whether
it was necessary for farmers who still
hold their cotton to promise to join the
production control program before they
would be loaned 10 cents a pound in
Federal funds.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace said
he thought so and that apparently was
the understanding of President Roose-
velt But men who worked out the ar
rangement, among them Oscar john
ston, finance administrator of the Farm
Adjustment Administration, and Sen
ator Bankhead, Democrat, Of Alabama,
took a contrary view.

RAILROADERS BOW TO BUS MEN
WITHIN RANKS OF BROTHERHOOD

They met at Albany yesterday, and
came here today to sit for brief cere-
mony in the old four wheeled Delaware
& Hudson railroad caboose, where the
brotherhood was founded in 1883. Since
then the brotherhood has been a basic
organization Of American labor.
The white-haired president said he
was responsible for the decision on
August l to admit to the old railroad
organization men who never swung q
white lantern or punched a day coach
ticket.
The 1881 convention Of the brother
hood gave me authority to take them

He investigated and found that some
former railroad men had even taken
jobs on bus and truck lines. The simil-
arity Of occupation. and national labor
developments under the N. r. A., led
him to take the step, he explained.

COTTON ADVANCES
IN TRADING FURRY
Futures Show Maximum Climb of
$3.50 a Bale, but Fail to
Hold All of Gain.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 23-Cotton
futures had maximum advances of
about $3.50 a bale at the opening today
in response to the Governments plan
for lending 10 cents pound to pro-
ducers in return for acreage reduc-
ton
Heavy realizing induced by the initial
uprush in prices brought a moderate
reaction from the top levels soon after
the opening. The distant positions
were most actively bought by traders
in anticipation of benefits from the
Federal program, and these had by far
the widest gains.
In the January, March, May and July
positions the sharp advances erased
most of the heavy losses of the past two
sessions and restored values to within
moderate distance of the weeks
highs.
Opening advances ranged from s1.45
to S3.45 a bale.

YONKER.S, N. Y, September ga
kidnap plot that changed a society
church wedding into a quiet home
ceremony, with Department of Justice
agents as witnesses, was disclosed to-
day with the arrest of two persons on
charges of attempted extortion.
The bride and intended victim of the
plot was the former Helen Batcheller,
niece Of Russell c. Lefingwell, an As
sistant Secretary Of the Treasury in
the Wilson Administration. and now a
partner in the banking firm of ]. p
Morgan & Co. She is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin A. Batcheller
Of Yonkers, and now the wife of John
K. Dougherty. Her mother IS sister
of Lef1ngwell
Preparations were under way fer the
wedding when Batcheller received the
first four notes. demanding $4,000. un-
der threat that his daughter would be
kidnapped and subjected, to bodily harm.
Wedding Plans Changed.
Invitations had gone out for the
church ceremony and the bride had her
wedding plans well on the way to COM
pletion.
When the first threatening note was
received her father Immediately noti-
fed Federal agents and Yonkers police,
and under their instructions negotia-
tons were begun with the kidnapers.
Meanwhile, a sudden change was
made in the wedding plans. The first
set of invitations was recalled and a
second sent out. The result was that
when the wedding took place, Septem-
ber IA, instead of the brilliant church
service originally planned, it was quiet
home ceremony, with Department Of
Justice agents as witnesses.
The arrests of the alleged plotters
and the details were announced simul-
taneously today here and in New York
City by Chief of Police Edward Quirk
Of Yonkers and Thomas F. Cullen, agent
in charge of the Department of Justice
in New York.
Negotiations Continued.
After the wedding the negotiations
were continued and finally the plotters
were instructed to meet an Intermediary
on lonely road in Yonkers last night
A dummy package containing some
marked currency was prepared and the
RENDEZVOUS was Kept, with the result
that the nurse. who described herself as
Nicolina Caroline De Palma, %, Of
Yonkers. and the former gasoline sta
ton attendant, who said he is James
Medley, Is, also of Yonkers, were ar
rested.
Cullen said the nurse told him the
idea of the plot was conceived by Med
ley. Cullen said the nurse drove to the
rendezvous in an automobile and after
her arrest implicated Medley. Federal
agents said that when the nurse ap-
peared last night she had with her a
hollowed-out loaf of bread, apparently
intending to use it as hiding place
for the money.
