to the maintenance fund has been
growing steadily, according to the

gineers reported that a total of

to these workers.
Engineers reported that enthusiast
tic approval Of the widening of the
shoulders along the highways has
been given in every community in
which the work is in progress, in

James D. Adams, chairman of the
highway commission said of the
work:
In some communities where this
relief work is needed badly, mis-
understanding has arisen preventing
the start of the work and improve
ment of the highways. This program
hopes to accomplish three things
to give employment, to build greater
safety into the highways and make
them more attractive for the future.
1t also will mean reduction in
costs"

IN CRIME LULL
Renewal of Terror Reign by
Convict Gang Is
Awaited.

Laconic reports of "all's quiet"
came today from state and local
police. as. they continued watch
full waiting policy in their drive on
crime and search for the teri or
gang" that is charged with a long
list of depredationS throughout the
state.
Fearing the condition might be
the lull before the storm, authorities
announced they would not relax the
vigilance which has been exercised
in guarding possible scenes of the
next outbreak.
Numerous clews have been fol-
lowed regarding whereabouts of the
escaped convict gang, whose men,
berS have been identified as par
Elephants in a long series of recent
crimes, but so far all leads have
proved unavailing.
Detective Chief Fred Simons re-
ported today that three Hamilton
Harris company employees made a
trip to Dayton, o., with Detective
Roy Peats and personally identified
two youths held there as suspects in
the recent holdup of the tobacco
warehouse.
The two youths, Frank Hawks
Chew, 81, and Earl Norman Holder,
10, have admitted taking part in the
holdup here in which an employe
and police sergeant were wounded,
Chief Simon said.
Because Ohio police are said to
have linked the youths IN several
crimes in that state, there is doubt
whether Chew and Holder will be
returned to Indiana, Chief Simon
said.

vance OF IA cents an ounce.
BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt turned to the pur-
chasing of foreign gold today to
realize his determination to raise
domestic commodity prices.
His policy was to boost COM
modities by raising the price of gold
through forced depreciation of tie
dollar in world markets.
The same objective was sought
last week by purchases at a premium
of newly-mined domestic gold.
The plan for world operations
raised the possibility of spectacular
international poker game in which
the stakes would be the almost i'm
measurable resources of the partici-
pating nations.
The Presidents program, amplify-
ing his declaration a week ago for
managed currency based on a
dollar of unchanging purchasing
power, was announced last night.
Mr.. Roosevelt apparently was I'M
satisfied with the effect of his do
nestle gold buying program inaug-
urated last week with the price of
gold run up from $3136 to 1912 an
ounce. This failed appreciably to
depreciate the dollar or raise COM
modities and the executive sum-
moned his advisers. After lengthy
conference, it was announced, brief
ly, but significantly:
Brain Trust Attends
THE subject under discussion was
the immediate setting up of ma
chinery under which the govern
ment, through the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, will be en-
abled to buy gold in foreign mar
kets."
Conferees included three mem
bers of the so-called brain trust,
Professors James H. Rogers, George
Warren and Henry Bruere. Also
present were ranking government
officials, Eugene Black, governor,
1eQ6Idl I6StIN6 UOdIQ, JESSE OOllSS,
chairman, Reconstruction Finance
Corporation; Dean G.. Ackeson, I'M
dersecretary of the treasury; George
L. Harrison, governor, Federal Re-
serve bank, New York; Henry Nor
genthau Jr., governor, farm credit
administration; j. E. Crane, Federal
Reserve bank, New York, and Fred
I. Kent, Federal Reserve bank, New
York.
International Contest
The suddeness of the decision to
buy gold in foreign markets stunned
Washington. The government pro-
poses to make outside gold pur-
chases, Immediately, or, expressed
otherwise, to sell dollars in the
world market to depreciate them.
1t had been believed the President
would give his domestic purchase
plan a more extensive trial before
such a drastic change.
Some officials believed the United
States intended to cooperate in
foreign exchange control with Great
Britain, which has a billion dollar
equalization fund to control the
price of its pound.

Objection was registered to both
the idea and the manner of phras-
ing by VIII H. Thompson, attorney
for the city utility district, who is
opposing the present natural gas
petition.
He said the fight is not against
natural gas, as such. and that stock

have nothing to do with the matter
involved.
