Higher Payroll Expense
DRIVE STARTS MONDAY
Farm Administrators And MIRA
To Enter Into Price Fixing
Conferences Beginning Mon.

Hugh S. Johnson directed thu
power of NRA's influence TOWARD

the circulation of money ane
credit.
He addressed manufacturers ano
advertisers throughout the country
noting the end of the 'flat walle'
era" and urging full cooperation
in the "now is the time to buy
drive officially set to start Mon
day.
Johnson's move to increase credit
velocity was intended chiefly te
help industry meet NRA'S higher
payrolls, but it blended smoothly
with President Roosevelt's deter
mind efforts to expand credit ane
boost farm prices.
Further, it conceded with the
coming to Washington of Henry
Bruere, president of the Bowery
Savings bank of New York, who
boarded Mr.. Roosevelt's train a. 1t
headed toward the White House
from New York City. Bruere was
expected tc coordinate the entire
crele expansion campaign.
Another step with the same aim
was the governments request for
bids on S44,525 tons of steel rails
for AZ railroads. The public works
administration will lend the S25,-
100000 or more buying price to
the carriers.
United States, Bethlehem and In
land Steel and the Colorado Fue
and Iron. company were the con-
Germs to which Jo.eph B. Eastman
railroad co-ordinator, addressed re
quests for prices. Later, a number
CT companies will bid on 245,22l
tens of fastenings.
Johnson, expected back in his Of
flee soon to direct personally the
buying campaign and reorganize
his administration for enforcement
work, cited to the manufacturer

chasing power has been created IT

He said August factory employ
ment was up "a per cent over Aug

TOO YOUNG

~Sn:;:or@::

Pueblo, Col.-QIorado is not
old enough for most old age pen
sioners. Tic date, of 500 appli-
cants examined by the judge, only
two were born in Colorado.
Reason for the few native-born
applicants is seen in the provision
of the law that an applicant must
be at least s. years of age. Sixty
five years ago-1S6S-there were
only a handful of persons in the
entire Rocky Mountain district.
One applicant is from Nevada,
and two or three from Wyoming.
Kansas IS the native state Of a few
'orhers. Indiana and Missouri are
the native states of most of the
applicants.

Late Millionaire
 Liked Wills, But
 Didn't Make One
Made Him Think of Dying Too Much-Claim of Robert Wallace for $44,0O0 Ends To-day = Smaller
 Claim of Daughter to Be Heard at Later Hearing

given every consideration, so MT. Roberts and his daughter claim, and was treated as member of the family, He had from time to time promised the Roberts that they would be well repaid for their services and kindness to him. He died without leaving will and the entire estate has been given to his brother, Arthur H. Gorse of New York city.
 Two hearings have been held in which Mir Roberts and his daughter have testified how they cared for MT Gorse. In 1917 he was vic- tim of the flu" which caused so many deaths in Waterbury at that time. When he recovered he be- come dependent upon the kind- nesses of the Roberts family. In 1924 he felt i'll again and was nursed back to health. He re- minded Mir and Mrs Roberts as well as Miss Roberts that he "cou'd never pay them for their kind- ness" but he would remember them in his will. When taken for fre- quent auto rides he advised MT Roberts to make will. When Mrs Roberts died q few years ago he grieved over her death and be- came more attached than ever to Mir Roberts and Miss Roberts. When he was recovering from an illness in 1926 the Roberts fam fly visited every Sunday at Nor folk, Conn, and during his last ill., nes visited him every night at the Waterbury hospital.
 The nature of service expected by MT Gorse of the Roberts dur ing his frequent sicknesses was explained to the commission to-day by Miss Roberts. She also told of how she and the deceased talked for hours over little home she had planned to build in Middle bury. He was greatly interested in the plan and made suggestions. He also advised that she go with friends to Europe and to remember that some day she would reap her reward for all her kindness to him.
 Evidence as to Mir Gorse's many promises to remember his friends was recorded to-day.
 On next Friday it is planned to have the commissioners hear Miss Roberts as to her personal service. Her statements to-day were in sup port of her fathers and mothers constant attendance upon MT GOrSe.

SPINSTERS LEAD AUDIENCES AT
 FRENCH TALKS
Type of Listeners Difficult For Propaganda
 Lecturers

Paris, (UP)-French lecturers in the United States have difficulty in forming public opinion because their only attentive audience con- sists of spinsters. school children and generally unimportant audi ences.
 This is the comment of Comtc Serge Fleury, of the French min- istry of foreign affairs, who has returned from lecture tour throughout the eastern United States. He addressed audiences at New York, Boston, Miami, Cleve- land and Detroit.
 Monte Fleury was amused by the comment that French 1ectur- CTS in the United States were "aged absurdities," whose decrepi- tude gave audiences the impress sion that France is a. worn and weary nation.
 "French lecturers" he said. talk chiefly to spinsters, Rotary club members and school children, because our lecturers concern themselves chiefly with >the cul- tural aspects of France. However. there Is an audience in the United States for factual discussion of economies, as I have just found out.
 French lecturers in the United States aren't aged absurdities,' but 1t may be true they put too much emphasis upon the cultural aspects of France and not enough upon Its economic role in world trade.
 II found American audiences interested chiefly. as far as France Is concerned, in whether this country would pay it's Decem Der war debt instalment. Hereafter believe we should stress to Amer ican audiences our economic posi- tion, not the cultural history of France.
 "I was also amazed at the sport ing attitude of Americans during the bank crisis. Apparently. they regarded the catastrophe as an in. significant misfortune, to be taken in their stride"
