One hundred million dollars
in new money" will be borrowed
by the Treasury March % as a
result of extension Of the time
for filing income tax returns
from March Is to March 81.
Secretary Woodin today an
nounced that bids would be re-
ceived for that amount in bills
at the Reserve Banks and
branches up to 2 p. M, Eastern
standard time, March 20.
This was the first bill issue
authorized by Woodin, indica-
ting a continuation of a type OF
security, introduced in govern
mental financing by former Sec
retary Mills.
It was thought that postpone
ment of the time for filing tax
returns on 1882 calendar year
incomes would cut Government
revenue the last half of March
by about $100,000,000. This
money will be received by the
Treasury during April.

transfer of gold to meet the next
war debt payment and would make
possible acceptance by Great Brit
ain of silver in payment of large
sum due from India before the June

to nav this debt to Great Britain

Roosevelt to welcome the
President Elect also
were hit by the assassin's bullets
and it was feared one of the wom-
en- would not survive. Mr.. Roosevelt
had just landed after his fishing
cruise, had made a brief talk to the
thousands in the park and was be-
ing greeted by personal friends
when the anarchist, identified as
Giuseppe Zangara Of Hackensack,
N. j., fired at him at a distance of
20 feet. In the great excitement
and turmoil Mr.. Roosevelt remained
calm and insisted on taking Mr.. Ger
max to a hospital in his car. He
remained over night on the yacht
Nourmahal and visited the wound
ed mayor next morning before leav-
ing by train for New York.
All the world was shocked by the
attempted assassination and mes
sages of congratulation on his es-
cape poured in on Mr.. Roosevelt, one
of the first received being from
President Hoover. Mrs. Roosevelt
heard the news as she returned
home from a club where she had
made an address. Her only COM
ment on learning that her husband
was uninjured was: II am thank
full" She did not change her plans,
which took her next day to Utica to
speak at home and farm week cell
ebration.
Secret service operatives in Mi
ami said Zangara, the assassin, was
a member Of an anarchist group at
Paterson N. j., and that he declared
he had no accomplices, acting en-
tirely on his own initiative. Imme-
date steps toward his trial were
taken, but the authorities were
careful to avoid any possible charges
that Zangara was being "rail-
roaded."
DY THE rather surprising vote of
~ SO to % the senate adopted the
revised Blaine resolution submit
ting repeal Of the Eighteenth
amendment to constitutional con-
ventions in the states. In this
form the measure is almost in ac-
cord with the plank of the Demo-
cratic platform. It provides for
outright repeal except for federal
protection for dry states against
liquor importations-
Speaker Garner predicted the res
olution would be speedily accepted
by the house. The approval of the
President is not required; but it
must be ratified by SO states.
Voting for the resolution in the
senate were SO Democrats, 20 Re
publicans and / Farmer-LabOrite.
Against it were 9 Democrats and IA
Republicans.

ton wiping out the state prohibition
law and the search and seizure act.

United States and Great Britain.
"Under such settlement the
United States would receive 299, S00,-
600 ounces Of silver at the present
market price of around % cents an
ounce. Under the provisions Of the
act our government out of such sill
yer would coin 74.950,000 standard
silver dollars. 1t would deposit
them in the treasury and issue and
circulate against them $74,950,000 in
silver certificates similar to those
now in circulation in the United
States.
@As it requires only seventy-eight
one hundredths of an ounce of silver
in the coinage of standard silver dol
lars, there would remain, therefore,
in the treasury, in addition to such
74,95O,0OO standard silver dollars.
241 ,339, 900 ounces of silver to be
held in the treasury as security for
the maintenance of the parity OF
the silver certificates so issued"
nNE of the eminent men called
~ on to advise the senate finance
committee, DR.. Herman F. Arendtz,
q Boston economist, cOndemning
any plan for internationally man
aged currency" such as may be ex-
pected to be put forth at the COM
ing international economic confer
ence, declared that what we need
is less credit and more hard cash.
Silver is the salvation, in this hard
money campaign, he maintained.
It's reconciliation would be the en-
CINE printing that would. in six
months, enable America to sell to
the Orient between 600 and $50 mil
lion dollars worth of lumber, wheat,
cotton and copper.
First of the advisers heard by
the committee was Bernard M.
Baruch, who is likely to be in the
Roosevelt cabinet. He argued Wig
orously against currency imitation
and in favor of a speedy balancing
of the budget, and urged the adop-
ton of beer tax and the repeal Of
the Eighteenth amendment. He
also advised the federal leasing Of
farm acreage to curtail production,
and this plan was Endorsed by @. G.
league, former member of the farm
board. Mr.. league, asserting that
the collapse of the credit structure
Of the country was the fundamen-
tai cause Of the depression, urged
federal guarantee of bank deposits.
and in this he has the full support
of Speaker Garner.
George N. Peek, manufactures
of Moline, H., set forth his objec-
lions to the domestic allotment bill,
which is doomed to death either in
the senate or in the White House,
and proposed a modification Of the
plan whereby curtailment Of acreage
would come after planting and
before harvest, since "the variation
in yield of all growing crops from
year to year depends Is per cent on
weather and pests. largely beyond
human control. and only 25 per
cent on the acreage planted"
