LITTLE PRICE RISE
SEEN IN GOLD MOVE
OnIy Advance in international
Trade Is Likely, Econo.
mists Argue.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Many financial observers agree that
a temporary inflationary effect will re-
suit from the gold control experiment
the Government is beginning today. and
that farm and other raw materials
having a world market may advance
considerably in price if the policy is
pursued vigorously.
But beyond that, few economists
agree, and many of them deny there
will be any but the most transient In
fationary consequences. They say these
will depend to considerable extent on
the dollar price to which gold is raised.
PSychologically, at least, some observ.
ers believe higher price for gold tends
to create a higher price level. But
many economists object to the SIM
plicity of this theory, especially in the
present situation. In the first place,
they argue that buyers and sellers do
not actually expect to get gold for their
dollars and that consequently the price
more likely would be set by bargaining
between the buyers and sellers.
May Increase Commodity Prices.
The intention Of the President, how
ever, to fix gold price higher than that
crease the price Of wheat and other
commodities whose prices are set in
world markets. This is because trad
ing between nations more closely ap-
proaches exchange Of goods for gold
rather than for currency.
For example, where four pounds Of
English money ordinarily might buy an
ounce of gold, and an ounce of gold is
$50, then If the price of gold is fixed
at $50, the four pounds buys $50. If
the price OF commodities In the United
States does not advance as much as
economists believe gold price fixing
will benefit the farmer materially
through an increasing demand abroad
for his products. Since COLDS price in
the United States may be changed at
will, 1t would be possible always to
stimulate farmers to buy goods here
Held Partly Infiationary.
Gold price fixing may be inflationary
insofar as it raises the dollar value Of
the Nations gold holdings. If the
United States possessed $4,000, ,000, 900
In gold at $40 an ounce and the price
OF gold was increased to $50 then the
same gold would be valued in dollars at
30 per cent more. The Nations books
would show s6,OOo,Ooo,ooO, a dollar
profit" of S2,000,0O0,o0O on the same
amount of gold.
If gold prices were run up consid-
erably, some financial sources believe
money velocity would be increased
People, believing their money was 60
ing to lose value rapidly, would hurry
to spend that money for goods, with
the result that the demand for goods
would force prices higher.
Other economists say the present
step is only the first of others directed
at raising prices. They scout foreign
reports that it is directed at early
dollar sterilization.
One Government economist suggests
that however real Is Colds effect on
prices, most of the public evidently
believes It is effective and that this
Government therefore should control
the price OF gold so that public beliefs
shall not be subjected to the whims
OF the more or less speculative world
markets which have been setting Colds
price.

COUNTERFE|TER
RING PUT OUT
MILLIONS
Arrest of "Count" Won BueIoW
BareS Widespread Activities
of Big Money Gang

The story of a gigantic counter
felt ring whose SwindleS were per-
petrated in virtually every country
in the world, and which probably
is dealing in many millions of
dollars, was unfolded today by
Chief w. H. Moran, of the United
States Secret Service.
Following the arrest of Count"
Enrique Dezow Won Buelow, whose
real name is Helms Enrique de
Chow, aviator, and DR.. Valentine
Gregory Burtan, New York ply
sician, charged with passing coun-
tefeit $10O Federal Reserve notes,
Moran disclosed that the real
story has not yet been told, nor
is it known to the Secret Service.
Very Fine Specimens
Moran said the bills we're made
in a foreign country and proba-
bly, are the most perfect specimens
of counterfeit ever passed in the
United States.
"Wise men" in Chicago, through
whom they were exchanged and
the best banking experts of Eu-
rope, the Orient and the United
States, were completely taken in
and pronounced the bills genuine,
he said.
Moran said that in December
Won Beulow or De Chow ap-
preached what were described as
wise boys" in Chicago with the
story that he was able to produce
a large sum of money in 500 bills
from the estate of a deceased
bootlegger. The family feared
that the money would be traced to
illegal sources and wanted to
have it exchanged.
Won Buelow submitted them
samples in the amount of $4,000.
The bills we're taken to a num-
ber of banking experts in Chi
cago and were pronounced gen
line. The wise boys" then agreed
to take all that Won Buelow
could produce. He showed up
with an additional 100000.
Trapped at Airport
Word came to the Secret Serv-
ice in Chicago of the transac-
tions and an investigation was
launched.
Suspicion was directed at Won
Buelow through information re-
ceived by the Secret Service and
his residence in New York was
located. Word came that he had
gone to Montreal, and that he
frequently used airplanes for
travel. All planes from Canada
were watched and eventually he
was arrested at the Newark,
N. j.. Airport. Won Buelow i'm
plicated Burtan.

HOUSE TAKES UP
FARM BILL

With Presidential veto prac-
tically certain and Senate ap-
proval highly problematical, the
House today began consideration
of the domestic allotment farm
relief bill.
Democratic leaders have eX-
pressed privately the conviction
that it will be so loaded down
with amendments that it will be
scarcely recognizable when it
reaches the Senate.
The bill provides for assessing
a fee against professors of GER
tain farm products, the producers
to get the benefit of this fee.
The amount of the fee would be
set by comparison of the present
price of these products with the
pre-war level, the fee being the
difference.
The only commodities written
into the bill are wheat. cotton.
tobacco, and hogs. The Agricul-
ture Committee has agreed on an
amendment to be offered to in
clude rice.

LABOR To FORCE
F|VE-DAY WEEK,
GREEN WARNS
Will Call Universal Strike
If Necessary, A. F. L. Chief
Tells Senators

The 30-hour week was urged to-
day by William Green, president
of the American Federation Of
Labor, as the only possible way to
relieve unemployment and to
avoid a Federal dole for millions
of jobless.
He warned organized labor
would invoke the universal strike,
if necessary, to bring about this
objective"
Appearing before a Senate Jul
dietary subcommittee to urge ap-
proval of the Black bill for a six
hour day and a five-day week,
Green offered startling figures re-
garding the extent of unemploy-
ment. He said:
"The 3O-hOur week, universally
applied in business and indus
try, would put 6,5OO,OOO persons
back to work at once. Organized
labor will invoke the universal
strike, if necessary, to bring
about this objective.
FORCE IF NEEDED
at can only be brought about
by economic force or by legisla-
tive force. That's the only
language a lot of employers
understand"
The Black measure would pro-
hibit shipments in interstate or
foreign commerce or products
made in factories or taken from
mines where work time exceeded
80 hours per week.
Green further asserted:
1--WE are so firmly convinced
of the necessity for the five-day,
3O-hOur week that we are pre-
pared to support any plan to
bring it about, either through
legislation, persuasion, or
through using OurN economic
force to compel employers to
adopt it,"
Green estimated that 23.5 per
cent of the employable population
are jobless, with an equal number
working on a part-time basis.

tween 100000 and 100000
