New York, Oct 23.-During the school year closing June 30, 1933. pupils enrolled in the schools of. the United States deposited S10,- 332,569 in school savings, 1t was an- nounced here today by w. Espey Albig, deputy manager Of the American Bankers association, in charge of its savings division. in his annual report on school savings activities. For the second success sive year withdrawals exceeded de- posts, although the excess of with drawals over deposits was less by $G0O,00O this year than last. MT Albig sayc, describing the many ways in which withdrawals proved the value of funds accumulated by this form of thrift in meeting em- ergency requirements resulting from business conditions.
 Three years ago school saw ings deposits reached the high mark of $29,113,063." his report says. Tn three years annual de- posits in school savings have shrunk by s1S.S00,000. thus hark- ing back ten years in deposits. Dur ing the year 1922-1923 deposits amounted to $10,631,S3S, a sum greater by $3O0.O0O than that de- posted this vera"
 In 1922-23. MT Albig points out, but 6,S6S schools afforded oppor- tunity for school savings as against 1O,S90 for the year just closed and the number of pupils participating was 1,907.S51 as against 3,0S0.6S5.
 Despite this recession over a three year period in school savings, no more pronounced than in other activities, it's real value has be- come manifested" he declares. The human clements in school savings appear to an even greater degree this year than ever. Noble impulses frequently die in the face of inability to act. School savings often supply the needed aid"
 Nu m D CT l ess instances have reached the association, he says. in which children have been able to meet urgent needs of their fathers inc efforts to get jobs or to help other members of the family in measures to preserve their health. In other instances these funds en- abled depositors to continue their schooling.
 For the present year. June 30, 1883, the gross deposits were $10, 332,569. a decrease from the pre- ceding year of $7,347,795." MT AL big's report says. The withdraw als not only exceeded the deposits but took from the banks $2,3l5,-

 New York, Oct 23-(U.P.)-The stock market scared to-day as the trading puplic gave preliminary approval to President Roosevelt's monetary policy.
 to the interpretations placed on the '.sound money" plan--including purchase of gold at fixed prices and necessity for pulling commodi- ties we'll above the present levels but the trading public leaped to teh conclusion the pohcy was in- direct imitation. Commodities gain- ed and the United States dollar de- clined, an ordinary infiationary procedure, so Wall Street shot stock prices upward.
 Gains ranged from Ito t4 points i;n the general list while the vig- orous Homestake Mining leaped 40 points. Through the general list there were gains of around points with Q considerable volume of trading, although periods Of ac- tivity were followed by period or comparative dullness.
 Mining shares gave the chief sparkle to the market. under strength of two factors. one was the presidents announcement ot gold purchases and sales by the Reconstruction Finance corporation at fixed price which may reach $40, and the other was q rumor that Russia might be interested h buying 15o,000,000 pounds of cop per in America.
 Homestake was the leader but U. s. Smelling was much. more ac- tive. This issue gained more than 13 points, opening 12 higher anu at its low point of the day man. taining a gain of around 8 points American Smelling, Alaska Ju- neau, Mcintyre Porcupine. Cerro de Pasco, Dome Mines. Noranda Mines and others of the mining group gained to more than points.

 For these reasons tho retail code provides that 1t Is an unfair practice to sell any article Tor less than it's invoice cost plus at least sHH:6GGG. "a portion of the wage paid to employees in the stores. Th& js frankly an experiment. A dis tinsuishcd committee Is to be ap- poined at once to watch closely the operation of this code and to make recommendation on Feb. l.
 The approved code applies to drug stores, and carried special appendix of additional provisions for these stores.
 The final code. however did net contain the original section which would have forbidden sale of drug products at less than 21 per cent below the retail price set by the manufacturers
 Minimum, Wages

 Wages and maximum hours were set forth in a complicated schedule under which stores may elect 10 operate under any one or tnree plans
 Group Amy establishment may elect to remain open for busi- ness less than 56 hours but not less than 32 hours per week. unless | .t1 tnGG fhnn hy prior to June l, 1883. in which case such establishment shall not reduce its store hours: no employe of these establishments shah work more than 40 hours per week nor more than eight hours per day nor more than six days per week.

 charges will remain at 2j cents paying those charges where he had and he will have 75 cents after but 25 cents before.
 in the presidents speech can be seen definite desire to bring thc dollar back to It's 1926 purchas- ing level How will that be done?
 "The president said:
 ". am authorizing the Re- construction Finance corporation 10 buy gold newly mined in the United States at prices tO be de- terinincd from time to time after consultation with the secretary of the treasury and the president. Whenever necessary to the end in view. we shall also buy or sell gold in the world market"
 This. In my opinion means that the REC will do either of two things. 1t will immediately buy gold at price deemed sufficient to bring about the desired commodity level. or It will buy gold at grad tally increasing price level Say that S41.34 is set as the stabilized price per ounce If gold. The REC it or will buy at prices gradually will immediately pay that much for rising. until ther $4l.34 level K attained. such n move will make gold twice its present value of S2O.67 an ounce and. therefore give s1.O0 purchasing power of $50.
 "What will prevent the price go ing still higher than the desired level? That Is .here the presidents 's pian for selling will come in. Should the price transcend $41.34. the REC will immediately sell gold at that figure. dumping 1t abroad and pulling the price down again. In other words the selling clause acts as a brake 10 check too high u rise and would only be used in the event of an emergency
 ''In citing examples. the s41.3i. given as tho probable stabilizing pricr of gold. is arbitrary. The president sai,l T would not know and no one else could tell just what the permanent valuation of the dollar will be-

 WALL STREET PUZZLED
 New York. Oct 23.-UP)- Wall street was puzzled and divid- ed today over President Roosevelts new plan for purchase and sale of gold.
 The plan was regarded as with out precedent and financial author ities were slow to comment. Some said 1t was "disheartening" and expressed. the fear that 1t might af- fec. confidence. Others said it might prove to be good thing" Various economists said the plan seemed to be an attempt to con- tro' the general price level through the purchase of newly mined gold; na attempt to control the dollar in foreign exchange through the pur- chase and sale of gold abroad; and the gradual evolution of a man aged currency.
 Some bankers expressed doubt that changes in the gold value of the currency, would affect the gen. eral price level as directly as in- tended. These men pointed out that. when the gold value of the currency in the United States and Great Britain fiuctuated, general prices did not fiuctuate in the same proportion. Furthermore, they said, the plan for purchasing newly mined gold might not suc- ceed in fixing the gold value of the dollar.
 Financial experts here were more hopeful of the second feature of the program-contsol of the dollar in foreign exchange-but some expressed surprsie that the Reconstruction Finance Corpora ton was selected to conduct the gold transactions instead of the Federal Reserve system.
 Mir Roosevelts declaration for q managed currency found many New York. bankers opposed to such a program as c permanent monetary policy.
