PIT TMAN SAYS
INITIATION IS
SURE TOCOME
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. -
Worldwide initiation which would
double the pre-war price of gold
was predicted today by Senator
Pittman, CDem.) Nevada, as the
eventual result of existing interna-
tional conditions.
Pittman told the United Press he
believed the international price for
gold finally would reach $40 an
ounce to be stabilized at approx
mately that figure The standard
gold price was $2067 an ounce be-
fore the war began unSettling the
world. Recent developments, es-
pecially abandonment of the gold
standard by the United States, have
forced the world market higher.
Since this government began per-
mitting sale of newly mined gold
at prices in excess of the normal
rate the daily treasury figures have
been gradually increasing. The gold
price prevailing in the United States
yesterday for newly mined gold was
$31.64, only S8.36 short of the level
foreseen by Pittman.
The Nevada senator is urging the
administration Immediately to be-
gin coinage of domestic silver. Ten
days ago he presented to President
Roosevelt a brief urging first that
his silver plan would be legal under
emergency authority granted Mr..
Roosevelt and second that it would
be desirable.
Pittman spent three hours with
the President yesterday AMI left
the White House expressing salts
faction that Mr.. Roosevelt had been
interested and examined his brief.

INSANE MAN
AGAIN ANNOYS
SCREEN STAR

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 20. (U.P) -
The handwriting o. mental incom-
petent who previously had been
convicted of the same offense was
seen today in a series of annoying
notes recently received by Bebe
Daniels, actress.
Her husband, Ben Lyon, expressed
himself as convinced the letters
were written by Albert F. Holland,
36-year-old war veteran, who thrice
has escaped from asyluma after be-
ing admitted ON the complaint of
the film actor. Hollands most re-
cent escape Was made last June
from the Arizona state hospital at
Phoenix.
The latest letter was postmarked
Tulsa, Okla. Lyons said it was
rambling and incoherent like 9TH
ers that Holland had written.
I'VE are not in the least con-
cerned that Holland is loose again. y
Lyons said. I'VE feel there is little
OF no danger he would try to harm
us"
In previous letters to the actress,
Holland had written under the de-
lusion she was his wife.

IMITATION AND
PRICE FIXING
NOT DESIRED
Secretary Wallace Voices Ad-
ministration's Views Regard
ing Economic Outlook.
MUST CONSIDER FUTURE
Agricultural Chief Says Farm
Product Prices Expected To
Increase Shortly.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20. tU.Pi-Sec-
retary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal
lace, in a carefully-considered ad-
dress which had been read and ap-
proved by President Roosevelt, to-
day gave the nation the admins
tration's views on growing demands
for initiation and price fixing.
The secretary, speaking before
the grain dealers association here,
declared initiation is not a cure
ALL" and that attempts to fix pri-
ces without control of production
were dangerous and doomed to
failure"
Waving of hands," Wallace said,
will not suffice to dissipate real
economic problems"
There is danger" he warned,
that optimism, price fixing and
initiation, will all of them tend to
increase, rather than reduce, the
lack of balance resulting from our
creditor position, our high tariffs,
our surplus acres, and our excess
stocks of fundamental goods.
1T is time for the people to be-
gin to think in terms of a long
time supply and demand situation
which spreads over the years in
stead of the days.
There is no money in it for
them right now, but there will be
satisfaction in it for their children
and grandchildren.
Wallace denied, however, that he
had changed his belief in control
led initiation. He recalled that he
had long urged stabilization of the
purchasing power of the dollar and
a restoration of the commodity
price level to that of 1925.
The currency and price objectives
he strove for before March 4, he
said, have become basic principle
in President RooSevelt's program
Tor recovery"
MY position with respect to con-
trolled initiation has not changed,
he continued.
Prices Must Improve
The cabinet officer conceded the
possibility that, if the purchasing
power of farm products does not
improve during the next three
months, THE price flxers and in
flationists will have great power
in congress this coming winter, and
there will be passed legislation
which will make the Agricultural
Adjustment Act seem extraordin-
arily conservative.
But" he said, Il think we will
have decidedly higher agricultural
prices within a few months, per-
haps even within few weeks, If
some of our plans mature properly
1T would be easy to say that ne
yer in history has there been such
a rapid improvement in any ma
tons affairs as in this nations
during the last six months
He said the total increase in in
dustrial payrolls from the low point
of March was about 65 per cent,
and that the purchasing power OF
farm products was 20 per cent
above March.
Far more businesses are max
ing money than during last March
But this improvement will come
to a sad end if we are not pre-

quell an uprising under Abelardo
Corona and Manuel Nunez.
A force of undetermined strength
revolted at La Sierras in the district
bordering the provinces OF Santa
Clara and Camaguey.
SO serious was the situation at
Santiago, capital of the EASTERN
most province of Oriente, that Lieut..
Col Mendez, military chief O: the
district, left for Havana to consult
President Grau San Martin.
Though news has been meager,
the strike situation in Oriente prov

the situation threatened to become
anarchic. Fifteen sugar centrals

More Strikes Called
Today neWSpapermen and print
ers went on strike demanding high
er wages and better working con-
ditions.
Troops last night suppressed a
Communist demonstration at San
tiago. Rolando Soria, Communist
leader, was arrested and sent to
Havana.
The entire eastern half of the
island, and portion of the center,
comprised a danger area in which
any sort of trouble might develop.
American destroyers were scattered
about the coast towns, watching for
signs of trouble that would threaten
Americans.
Grau San Martin clung to his Of
flee despite united opposition of
political leaders and the threat that
civil war might be precipitated.
From his standpoint, there were in
dications of support from working
men and the students who hoped
put him in office. Demonstrations
in his favor were organized in many
towns.
A grave indication from the
American standpoint was the appar-
ent determination Of many Cubans
to keep any internal fight a pri-
vate one. A group of railWaymen
marched to Agramonte barracks at
Camaguey and offered their services
to fight American marines if they
landed on Cuban soil.

Americans in Cuban trouble CEN

of State Hull said today.
Hull added that conditions
around Antilla were growing more
dangerous hourly.
Hull indicated that, except in ex-
treme emergencies, naval ships
would not land bluejackets or ma
rines. He said that Americans real
lied they were in danger and should
exercise discretion and flee to the
shelter of ships rather than de-
pend on rescue by landing parties.
