co-ordinated domestic recovery program
today in further conferences with Gen.
Hugh S. johnson, industrial administra =
tor, and Secretary Ickes, public works
administrator.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
Joined the recovery talks He arrived
unannounced by motor early today. He
@lQ tne main purpose Of his visit was
to take up with the President the prob
lem OF liquor control after prohibition
repeal
Control Of liquor under The nearly
completed arrangements by the Gov
of the agriculture adjustment act and
probably under supervision of this
agency. you can say for me-" said
Wallace. that Secretary Wallace. a
personal dry. is working to have the
Treasury handle as much of the liquor
regulation as possible"
Henry Morgenthau. his acting secre-
tary OF the Treasury. took over the
commodity dollar monetary program to-
day in Washington with fresh instruc-
tions from the President. This program
is going ahead, and early moves by
Morgenthau to project it farther along
its course for early fulflllment were be-
lieVed in prospect.
While Mr.. Roosevelt has insisted upon
a vacation during his stay here, and
also rest for his important official
callers, nevertheless there are signs that
things are moving along in the meetings
here.
Occupied With Job Making.
Enforcement of the national recovery
act and further development of the
public works program TO make jobs are
the points occupying presidential atten-
ton.
A recommendation will be made by
Mr.. Roosevelt for more funds for public
works at the next session Of Congress.
How much more to the original chest Of
$500 900 900 is one Of the subjects up
here today.
Also Gen. johnson had some % codes
for presidential approval. He gave as
surance last night that unavoidable
violations of the hotel code going into
effect today would be pardoned for a
Today period
For two hours yesterday Mr.. Morgen-
tnau talked business with the President
while Mr.. Roosevelt drove him about the
countryside in his runab0ut car. but
persistent questioning failed to get any
thing more than smiles from the Treas
ury mead and an insistence that any
thing to be said must come from the
President.
There was Just suspicion here that
something might be forthcoming by the
administration on its monetary policy,
but there was no basis for confirmation.
There has been a lot of talk about
including silver in the gold control
program and something in line Of aid
for the silver industry is believed to
be the next step.
Certainly there is no sign of any
deviation from the administration pro-
gram to increase purchasing power
through the gold buying moves.
Accompanied by Ripple.
Mr. Morgenthau was accompanied
back to the Capital by Louis Ripple,
former New York newspaper man and
present deputy commissioner of mar
cotics. He will go temporarily into the
Treasury Department with Mr.. Nor
genthau 70 aid in public relations.
Newspaper men covering the Treasury
last week protested to the President
against the rigid news regulations i'm
posed by Mr. Morgenthau. These regu-
lations later were modified.
