The Secretary expressed qualification
at the return flow of gold to the Treas

figures as to the exact amount. From
other sources, however, it was indi-
Gated the return was In the neighbor-
hood of s700,000,000 since President
Roosevelt issued his call for its muster
several weeks ago.
In his latest proclamation the Presi-
dent decreed that all Withdrawals of
the yellow metal in amounts exceeding
sl00 must be returned by May at the
risk Of prosecution by the Department
of Justice.
The Government believes, however,
that such prosecutions will be infre-
quent, due to the willingness and conf

metal voluntarily.
Cummings, who will take charge of
the new plan, has been friend and
business associate of the Treasury
Secretary for many years.
A short, rather portly man of So

formality. There never has been an

Office door. Bank presidents and shoe
