Committee BACKS
MONETARY PROGRAM
Declares Roosevelt May Be Forced

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November s.-The
Committee for the Nation, declaring
"an organized attack" Is under way
against execution Of President Roose-
yelt's monetary policies, suggested last
night that the President may be forced
soon to order so per cent reduction
in the gold content of the dollar.
The President can at any moment
cut short the manipulation Of foreign
powers and the dehationists Of Wall
Street." said the committee in state
ment, ''by an overnight proclamation
that he viii cut the gold content Of
the dollar by one-half under the pow
ers delegated to him by Congress. He
has announced that he preferred the
gradual method, but II the defiation-
lists opposition checks this process he
may soon be driven to the other"
Those who are making the organized
attack" against his monetary policies,
said the statement, Overlooked the
fact that the complete answer Is In the
Presidents hands.
The gap between the Washington
dollar price for an ounce of gold and
the point at which 1t was held In world
markets widened TO 81 cents. The issue
Is clear: VIII the United States Gov
ernment control the purchasing power
OF its own dollar or will defiationist In
terests here and foreign interests that
are trying to force the United States

remain in control?
There can be but one outcome of
this struggle-complete victory for the
Presidents policy, which viii also be

Department Says 101 Ships Needed
to Match Programs of Other
Nations.

The Navy Department proposes to
recommend to the coming session of
Congress that the fleet he built up to
London treaty strength by 1889 and
that a systematic program of replac-
ing obsolete ships be followed
This became known today when Ad-
niral William H. Standley, chief Of
naval operations, disclosed that the
service has under consideration a num-
ber of plans designed to accomplish
these two purposes.
1T is not the function Of the Secre-
tary Of the Navy, the chief of naval
operations or the Navy Department to
determine what the strength Of the
American Navy should be-" Admiral
STANDBY said. "That is a prerogative
of the people, through their elected
representatives. We, however. should
recommend. The strength of our Navy
has been determined by the London
naval treaty. We should build UP to
that"
Admiral Standley favors regular
replacement program. so that by the
time warship Is ready for the scrap
heap, because Of length of service,
new ship Of the same type will be avail
able for commissioning to take her
place. The American Government has
never had such a plan, but Great Brit
ain and Japan, according to the naval
authorities here, have regular replace
ment programs. As set out In the Lon
don treaty, to which the major naval
powers have agreed, officials explained,
the over-age for the various types Of
ships is: Twenty years for battleships,
20 years for cruisers, Is years for de-
stroyers and 13 years for submarines.
The necessity for a regular replace
ment program is shown, according to
naval authorities here, by the fact that
all of Uncle Sans destroyers, most of
them built under the spur Of wartime
necessity, are now over age. To prevent
all vessels becoming obsolete at one
time, the replacement program has been
hit upon, so that only few ships would
be laid down each year. This policy,
Admiral Standby pointed out, will aid
the economic life Of the Nation In in
suring that there will be regular en-
ployment at the shipyards, with the
consequent benefitting of allied indus
tries. hs s.

PENNSY PLANS FEW
CHANCESFO YARD
EIectrification viii Call for
Minor improvements
Here.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Offices in
Philadelphia revealed today that the
present plans for electrification of the
line between New York and Washing
ton, with the aid of an $84,000,0 900 loan
from the Public Works Administration,
call for only minor electrifcation Of
the great Potomac Yard.
It was stated by the Office of the
chief engineer of the road this morning
that only enough trackage in Potomac
Yard would be electrified to get the
Pennsylvania freight trains in an out
of the yard. The shifting of cars
about the yard will be left to steam
engines.
No estimate Of the approximate cost
of this work could be obtained, Penn
sylvania officials explaining that no
cost figures have been worked out on
the yard project, and the only break
down available on Washington expendi-
lures is the ALLEGATION Of $2,041 900
from the loan for reconstruction Of the
Virginia avenue tunnel to take care Of
the electric trains.
The same situation exists with regard
to the electrification of trackage in the
Washington Terminal, or Union Station.
Engineers working on the plans stated
this morning that at rough guess ap-
proximately half the trackage in the
station yard will be equipped for cleo
trio train operation. However, this is
only an estimate and the details of the
electrification of the station facilities
remained to be worked out jointly by
the officials of the Pennsylvania, the
Baltimore g. Ohio and the Washington
Terminal Corporation.
The Pennsylvania will spend little
more than $44 100000 of the entire loan
on electrification, the remainder of the
money going into equipment. The total
amount for identification, it was re-
vealed, will 60 into electrifying all
trackage leading into Washington and
all Pennsylvania trackage leading into
the Potomac yard, but any work that
goes beyond that will have to be worked

DRAWBRIDGE TIE.UP
BRINGS NEW RULES
Dern Extends Period for Morning
Closing to Give Motor Traffic
Better Chance.

With the approval of Secretary of
War Dern, the regulations governing
operation Of drawbridges across the Po-
tomac River at Washington were
amended today to prevent delay of
traffic across the bridges during the
rush hours in the late afternoon.
Since January. 3, 1922, closed period
between $40 am. and $50 am. has
been effective on the Highway Bridge
and the railroad bridge, during which
time neither bridge may be opened for
passage Of water craft. Since the fore
going regulations were prescribed land
traffic has increased and other changed
conditions. including of the new Ar
lington Memorial Bridge, necessitated q
modification of the regulations.
As result Of recent hearings it was
suggested that the morning period be
extended and that an afternoon closed
period be prescribed. After a careful
study Of traffic conditions, Secretary
Dern approved an order maintain
ing closed periods on these bridges be-
tween $40 and am. and between 4:30
and Sis pm. This will satisfy the
land traf1c, it was believed, and amply
meet the needs Of navigation.
