WOMAN, 70, HAS
SUPER-JAP GUN
BY International News Service

A mysterious little elderly
woman from Los Angeles, CAL.
has offered to sell to the War De-
partment a centrifugal machine
gun which is described as far more
powerful than the Japanese
weapon. the disclosure of which
has created an international sem
sation.
The woman, who was described
as looking about 10 years old"
told department officials she reps
resented a party in California.
She refused. however, to disclose
the identity of the party and
cloaked her movements in nyss
terry, especially requesting that
details Of the weapon she had to
offer be kept secret.
In view Of her attitude, the de-
partment today declined to reveal
her name for publication. She
now is en- route back to the Coast.
She first requested $5,000,00O
for the rights to the gun but later
reduced the offer to $2.000,000 in
the hope the Army would have a
weapon superior to the japanese
one.
Although department officials
declined to reveal the number of
bullets which it is claimed the
gun will discharge, it was learned
that it is capable of firing many
more, than the 5000 bullets per
minute claimed for the Japanese
weapon. It's firing speed was
described as virtually unlimited
and depending entirely on how
fast motors can operate the ma
chine.
It is suitable for either an
electric or gasoline driven motor.
whereas the Japanese gun was re-
ported to be driven by gasoline.
Plans of the weapon are now
being studied by department ex.
pertS and the possibility Of test
ing a model Of the gun is under
consideration.

THREATS MADE
IN GAS CASE

CANON CITY, Colo, Dec. 30
u.N.SD .-Governor Ed c. John
sons refusal to commute to life
imprisonment the death sentence
of Walter Reppin, 18, brought a
flood of threatening letters and
protests today to Warden Roy
Best, of the State penitentlary
here.
Young Reppin is scheduled to
be executed in the States new
lethal gas chamber next Friday
night for the murder in Colorado
Springs last August of Vincent
Regan, taxi driver. Regan was
fatally shot when he resisted a
"stick-up."
Many of the letters. Warden
Best said, came from women in
Denver and Pueblo. The tenor
of all was vehement protest
against killing an "18-year-old
child who never had a chance" )"
One letter stated:
'If you kill that child, you
ought to be taken out and shot,
you cOwards."
Yelled threats were contained
in others.
Reppin developed an acute
nervousness after hearing Cover
nor Johnson's decision. He shook
as if with a chill. This was due
in part to the fact that COM
mencing Immediately upon re-
ceipt of the executives refusal to
interfere with the death sentence,
a death watch was begun to pre-
vent any possible suicide attempt

DRASTIC SILVER
BILLS FACE
CONGRESS
Rainey Predicts Drive for
Legislation; Praises Action
of Senate Bloc
BY International News Service


A drive for silver legislation
even more far reaching than the
16-to-1 proposal of the Senate
silverites was forecast today by
Speaker Henry T. Rainey, of the
House.
The "silver bloc" Of the House
will hold conference as soon as
leaders Of the movement reach
the city, he said.
Roosevelt o. X. Required
Rainey, however, asserted that
no monetary legislation will be
enacted without the approval of
President Roosevelt.
81 am delighted with the
action of the Senate group and
believe the House would go
even further"
The House Speaker opposed
the 16-to-1 ratio. Instead he
favored purchase of silver with
out a ratio until the price of
gold had been cheapened to bring
commodity prices to the 1926
level.
In the early days of bimetalism,
Rainey said, there was no silver
ratio with gold. It was first
established by England.
Fiesinger Bill Backed
The entire Ohio delegation in
the House, according to informa-
tion reaching Rainey, will back
the bill Of Representative Fie-
singer D) of Ohio.
The bill proposes to safeguard
the gold standard through es-
tabliShment of an auxiliary
monetary reserve of silver and the
issuance of silver certificates pay
able in their gold value equiva-
lent.
The bill provides for the pur-
chase of 150,000,00O ounces of
silver in the first four months
after passage of the act, an ad-
ditional 250,000,0 900 ounces in the
next year, and future purchases
to be determined by the general
price level.
Plans of a militant Senate bloc
to force immediate remonetiza-
ton of silver may be accom-
panied by a proposal Of all en-
barge on gold exports, except to
settle international trade bal
ances. it became apparent today.
Flood of Silver Seen
The partial gold embargo may
be the bloc's answer to charges
that reconciliation of silver
would flood America with the
worlds silver supply while rob-
bing this country of its gold re-
serves. Such an embargo, bloc
leaders declared, would preserve
Americas gold reserves.
The silver drive gained head
way although running into some
opposition. Conservative East
erners opposed it generally, while
some Democratic leaders re-
vealed they would fight it un-
less it won President Roosevelt's
support.

BORAH AND NYE
CONFER WITH
PRESIDENT
Plan to Protect Public From
MonopoIies Also Framed
During Conference
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
The Administration today was
preparing major changes in the
National Recovery Act and its ad-
ministrative set-up to save small
business men from threatened
ruin and protect the public against
monopoly.
Following a conference with
Senators Borah (RO of Idaho and
Nye (R.) of North Dakota and
National Recovery Administrator
Hugh S. Johnson, President
Roosevelt announced that at least
two major revisions in NRA pol
icies seem to be necessary.
New Board Planned
One of these, requiring no new
legislation, would consist Of an
NRA board to protect small busi-
ness men against huge corpora
tionS.
The other, necessitating Con-
greSsional action. would clarity
and strengthen the provisions Of
the National Recovery Act deal
ing with Federal antitrust law
exemptions.
The President expressed conf
dence that adequate protection OF
the little fellow against the big
fellow could be extended through
the setting up of board modelled
after the National Labor Board.
The latter has done effective
work under leadership of Senator
Wagner CD of New York.
Legislative action probably will
be necessary to make Federal anti
trust laws fully effective against
monopolies operating under NRA
codes, Mr.. Roosevelt declared.
Predictions Upset
In announcing that these i'm
portant changes are contempla-
ted, the President upset pre-
dictions by Democratic leaders on
Capitol Hill that a "handS-off"
policy would be pursued toward
the NRA.
The leaders fear that once this
issue is reopened, a double-barreled
attack against the Blue Eagle will
be launched by conservative and
progressive elements.
AS one of the leading Progress
sives, Borah carried to the White
House a mass of figures and COM
munications showing that the
plight of many small business
men operating under NRA is
desperate.
Borah also submitted data to
indicate that monopolistic prac-
tices, including price-gouging and
profiteering, are being carried on
under some of the codes.
When the National Recovery
bill was before Congress, Borah
fought unSuccessfully on the
floor to have the antitrust law
provisions made more definite
and rigorous.

FISHER DEFENDS
DOLLAR POLICY

PHILADELP HIA, Dec. 80
Q.N.S) Prof. Irving Fisher, of
Yale, original proponent of the
commodity dollar" and staunch
defender of the Administrations
monetary experiments, said the
economists of the nation whose
annual convention closed today
were by no means unanimous in
their opposition to the Roosevelt
money policy. He said:
Defenders of the Admins
tratiOn's policies are in minor
ity, I know, but the minority
is by no means as small as the
hard-mOney group would have
the public believe.
"If the economists go out to
make a fight against the Presi-
dent on this question, they will
not succeed even in embarrass-
ing the President. They will
embarrass only themselves.
"The committee of the nation
sent a questionnaire to all
university economists and the
majority of those answering
were with us. 1 attach no
undue Importance to that.
Most people answer your ques-
tiOnnaire only when they are
with you. Most of the ecOnO-
miSts did not answer our QueS-
tiOnnaire and I assume they
are against U.S."

Some Pertinent Facts Relating
 To Bimetallism. By William A. Hesse. (Fourth Installment)


 In 1868 when the first gest- ure was made by the bond holding class to destroy silver as money throughout the world and to establish gold as the sole measure of value, Count Wolowski and MT. Ernest Seyd made the following remark able prophecy:
 "The demonetizatAon of sill yer by any great civilized nat oin must produce the following results:
 "(D The international trade of the world will instantly show signs of a decline, to the special injury of countries having the greatest inter national trade.
 "(2) The spirit of public en- terprise will be immediately checked and the general prog ress of civilization will suffer.
 "(3) The decline of prices will dompel countries internat- ionally indebted to depart more and more from the principle of free trade toward a policy of protection.
 "(4) Nations of the world will be divided into groups one trading in gold, the other in silver-and this condition will render commerce between them unsafe and precarious.
 co Throughout the world a decline in prices will follow, in- furious alike to the owners of real property and the labor ing classes, and advantageous cnly-and unjustly so, to the holders of state bonds and sim liar securities.
 "(6) ONE OF THE PRIN- CIPAL DIFFICULTIES I N THIS PERIOD WILL B E THAT PEOPLE WILL LOOK FOR ITS CAUSES IN ALL POSSIBLE DIRECTIONS. THE ADVOCATES OF THE GOLD STANDARD WILL OFFER ALL POSSIBLE GROUND LESS AND FANTASTIC FIX CUSES OR REASONS OF A SECONDARY NATURE ON- LY, AND THE REAL CAUSE,

SILVER, WILL BE OVER LOOKED UNTIL THE PER- .SPICUITY OF THE PHENOM- ENA AND DIRE NECESSITY SHALL FORCE THINKING MEN TO POINT TT OUT"
 What do we find today? Has not the spirit of public enter prise been checked? Has not commerce between the gold using nations and silver-using nations become precarious? Have not the holders of real estate and the laboring classes been adversely affected, and finally has not everything from beer to technocracy been as- cribed as the cause?
 Let us face the facts impar- tially. Silver cannot be as- cribed as the cause of this breakdown because it is de- based and degraded, and if it's restoration would bring the world any nearer to disaster shan the present gold standard already h S, then nobody wants to see it restored.
 Let us see what a famous ad- vocate of the gold standard has to say in defense of that mon strous system. This is MT. Gladstone speaking in support of his beloved country and the gold standard:
 England being the chief creditor nation of the world, it is to her interest to keep the volume of money as small as possible i n countries from which debts are due to her cit izens."
 Of course, speaking for the creditor classes, MT. Glad stone's position was right. What did MT. Gladstone care pr what does the creditor class care how much humanity suf- fers? But there were other Englishmen those days as there are today who would not share Mir. Gladstone's selfish view. Let us first hear what Sir H. Houldsworth, d e l e gate of Great Britain to the Brussels Conference in 1892, had to say:
 "In the first place, I am, from my position and antecedents, more peculiarly identified with industrial and commercial life than any of my honorable col leagues, and I need scarcely remark that it is industry and commerce in their widest as- poets which are more vitally in- terested in, and will be most profoundly affected by the de- cisions at which this confer ence arrives. In the second place, I have had the honoc and responsibility of sitting up- on both of those important commissions in England, which were appointed to examine in- to the question intimately con- nected with that which we are called unon to discuss here.
