PLANS STUDIED
BY PRESIDENT
BY FREDERICK A. STORM
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

HYDE PARK, N. l., Sept. %.
U.P)-President Roosevelt today
carried forward his plans for WIDEN
ing his already gigantic credit ex-
pansion program. Indications
pointed to major developments be-
fore the week is out.
What these developments will be
no one in authority was prepared
to say although it was felt in we'll
informed quarters that they would
be in connection with the admins
trations effort to bolster commod-
ity prices.
Mr.. Roosevelt was contemplating
loan from the public works funds
to enable railroads to buy not only
100000 tons of new steel rails but
also other needed equipment. The
loan, it was believed. would depend
on the steel companies reducing
the price of rails to figure be-
low $40 a ton, in line with White
House suggestions made several
days ago.
Such an advance of funds which
would total. it was estimated, in
the neighborhood of $20,000,000,
would be in the nature of extend
ing the federal credit expansion
program to the nation S heavy in
dustries in an attempt to stimulate
trade and increase buying power.
At the same time, friends of Mr..
Roosevelt were emphatic in dismiss
ing repeated stories of an imminent
-and radical momentary initiation
program as just so much talk.
Advisers said Mr.. Roosevelt was
working with Secretary of the
Treasury Woodin on a program to
release as soon as possible at least
some of the many millions in frozen
assets tied up in solvent, but closed
banks.
The steps to be taken have not
yet been formulated although it
was admitted that they probably
would embrace proposals for CON-
munity aid to banks, coupled with
the pledge of assistance, where nec-
essary, from the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation.
International matters also occu-
pied the attention of the President
on his final 1888 visit to the sum-
mer White House 1t was under.

FORD ORDERS

FOR WORKERS
Unruffled By Strikes Manufac-
turer Takes Steps To Comply
With NRA Requirements.
TO CLOSE BRANCH FACTORY
Chester Plant To Cease Opera
tons Following Walkout By
Employees Yesterday.

Copyright, 1893, by United Press
DETROIT, Sept. 28.-Henry Ford
is quietly putting his nation wide
industrial empire back on five-day
40 hour week SO his employees can
make a living wage, the United
Press learned today.
The Dearborn industrialist had or
dered a 32-hour week for six
week period, intending to go back
to the 40-hour week later and thus
average IS hours weekly to conform
with the automobile code, which
he has refused to sign.
He discovered oowever, that thou
sands of workers were able to earn
only SIC week under the 32-hour
schedule, despite recent pay in
creaSeS.
Ford does not believe any of his
employees should have to live on
SIS a week and therefore he order
ed the managers of all his fac
tories to return to the 40 hour week
schedule.
The manufacturer intends to con-
form to the automobile code by
closing his factories two or three
days every four nlonths, it was
learned. He is still determined to
abide by the terms of the code.
Ford has been following closely
the situation at Chester, Pa, where
| 200 workers on the final assembly
| line walked out Tuesday, demand
ing five days pay-approximately
| $25-for four days work.
The manufacturer already is pay
ing a wage rate much higher than
the code minimum. He did not meet
the demand. Instead, he ordered
the plant closed and its production
quota transferred to other eastern
| factories.
Sources close to Ford said he be-
| lieved the workers who led the
Chester walkout learned of the re-
turn to the 40-hour week schedule
and feared they would be among
workers dismissed under the longer
hours.
! Ford does not need the Chester
plant under his present production
schedule, 1t was said here, and pro-
baby will keep the Pennsylvania
factory closed until such time as
a production pickup warrants the
resumption of operations.
The Chester walkout was non
union affair and Ford does not fear
the strike fever will spread to other
plants. Strikers from Chester ga
thered in front of the Ford plant at
Edgewater, N. j., today in an at
tempt to persuade the Edgewater
workers to join them in a general
walkout Ford officials at Edgewa-
ter notified executives here that the
Edgewater workers have assured
them they will not leave their jobs

KELLY GOING
To OKLAHOMA

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. %. UP
Authorities made secret arrange
ments today to transport George
machine Gum Kelly, kidnaper OF
Charles F. Urschel, millionaire OIL
man, and his wife to Oklahoma
City. w. A. Rorer, department OF
justice agent gave the United Press
details of the unprecedented man
hunt after weeks of fruitless trail
ing resulted in their capture.
Kelly and his wife were given
work outs" by department of JUS
tice agents last night. After three
hours of questioning by agents
working in relays, Kelly admitted
orally that he was one of the Ur-
schel kidnapers.
Both he and his wife, Katherine,
agreed to go back to Oklahoma City
where both are under indictment
for the kidnapping and where the
trial OF IL others for the same crime
is nearing completion.
Arrangements for their return
were a carefully guarded secret be-
cause agents feared that members
of Kellys gang might attempt Their
delivery. Even the approximate
time of departure was withheld and
it was believed possible nothing
would be known of the trip until
the Kellys are lodged in an Okla
homa City Jail. The return trip may
be by airplane.
Rorer said that department OF
justice agents were close on Kelly
trail soon after Urschel was kid
mapped. They first located the trail
on the Coleman farm at Coleman
Texas, where Kelly's share OF the
ransom was found yesterday.

NOT TO
SEND TROOPS
INTO PEIPING

TOXIC, Sept. %. U.P)-A gov
eminent spokesman today denied
that Japan planned to send troops
to occupy the North China cities
of Peiping and Tientsin.
1t was unofficially observed that
Japan would prefer to aid the
Peiping government in driving
Fang Chen-Wu, the Christian
general from the district he has
occupied in North China.
Such cooperation would be COM
patible with the spirit of the Tang
ku truce, under which Japanese
soldiers withdrew from North
China to Manchuria last year.
The Peiping government is tacit-
ly pledged to cooperate with Japan
in maintaing order in North China,
it was pointed out here.
Under terms of the truce Japan
agreed not to extend its military
operations beyond the Great Wall
unless a case of utmost necessity
arose.

given by ElWood Mead today.
"Mead says the Mexican protest
is definitely out of our way,' was
the text of a telegram received at
Imperial Irrigation district head
quarters today from F. w. Greer,
valley newspaperman representing
the district in Washington
Lawson S proposal was for the
United States to retain ownership
and operation of the All-American
canal in perpetuity as guarantee
of fair treatment and delivery of
water to Mexican lands, according
to a telegram received late yester-
day from Phil D. Swing, former
congressman from this district, who
is representing the district in the
capital.
The whole Mexican question,
Swing said, was passed on by the
state department and congress when
the Swing johnson bill was adopt
ed. If Lawson IS suggestion had been
followed, Swing explained, it would
have been necessary to amend the
historic Swing-Johnson act and
draft new contract with the dis
trict.
Await Report
Failure of the All-American ca
nal to be included on the list of
projects accepted by the public
works administration and made
public today was due to the fact
that the formal report of the canal
board is not ready for presentation
to the President IS cabinet, it was
made known today.
The report is in process of prep
aration and inclusion of the canal
on the public works program unan-
ilnously was recommended by the
canal board.
The cabinet committee as q whole
has not considered the inclusion OF
