View of Treasury Experts
Resignation
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

Country appeared headed
today for an old-fashioned
battle over the money ques-
tion-with the so-called " sound
money" people and the in
flationists choosing up sides
and going to it.
The resignation of Prof. o. M.
w. Sprague as financial adviser
to the Treasury and his tart criti-
cism of the Roosevelt monetary
policy accentuated a situation
which has been boiling for weeks.
Sprague Speaks Out
In his letter to President Roose-
welt, Prof. Sprague said:
"I have now reached the con.
clusiOn THAI skhaERais. no defense
from q drift into unreStrained
initiation other than an aroused
and organized public opinion.
It is for the purpose Of contrib
uting as / may to such a move
ment that, with feelings of pro-
found disappointment, I sever
my connection with your Ad-
ministration."
This was considered the equiva-
lent Of an open declaration Of
war.
Those who oppose the Roose-
welt gold-purchase experiment now
propose to organize and arouse
public opinion against it. For his
part, Prof. Sprague plans to con-
duct a written and spoken cam
pa:Cn of opposition.
Support Enlisted
That he is assured of consider
able support already is evident.
The U. S. Chamber Of Commerce
only last Saturday published a
resolution urging the President
to return to the gold standard
and abandon his present expert

BY International News Service

Recovery Administrator
Hugh S. johnson today was
pondering the apparent ne
cessity Of tackling Former
Secretary of the Treasury An
drew W. Mellon in the same
personal fashion he tackled
Henry Ford.
NRA officials in charge Of the
aluminium code have reported that
the Aluminium Company Of Amer
lea. controlled by Mellon, refuses
to accept a code containing any
fair practice provisions of any i'm
portance.
Can't Put Over Code
AS the Aluminium Company AiSi
virtually the aluminuS industry
Of the nation, constituting as It
does a monopoly on ore and virgin
aluminium production, Johnson'S
aides cannot get the voluntary ac-
ceptance of suitable code by
majority of producers and man
ufacturers in the industry, as is
required under the national indus
trial recovery act.
Onlv a handful of independent
fabricators of the metal are de-
manding the important fair prac-
tice provisions, which would pre-
vent the Aluminium Company from
allegedly juggling ingot prices so
that Mellon controlled fabricating
plants can produce finished goods
ct lower prices than the independ-
entS.
The NRA recognizes that moth
Ing beneficial can be done for the
Independent fabricators If the
fair practice provisions are not
contained in the code, yet the
Mellon company, representing all
the ore producing and milling
companies, voluntarily" will &C
cept nothing Of the sort.
Nears Evaporation
johnson so far has said moth
ing personal about Mellon, but
indicates he is nearing the same
state of evaporation in which he
approached Ford.
He may postpone action on the
aluminium code until he confers
with President Roosevelt later this
week.
johnson will talk to the Presi-
dent about dozen codes for final
approval. Among these will be
the codes for the newspaper pub
fishing and the motion picture
industries.

CONFUSE
POLICE
Mrs. Rheta Wynecoop Muir
dered in Home of; Mates
Mothre; Husband Gone

CHICAGO, Nov. % (I.N.S.).
A deliberate slayer, who in-
duced or forced the victim to
disrobe, then lie, face down,
upon a physicians operating
table to receive one fatal bull
let through the back, was
sought today in the mysterious
murder of pretty 23-year-old
Mrs. Rheta Gardner Wyne-
koop.
Through a maze of mysterious
circumstances and developments,
police delved into the events which
preceded and followed the killing
yesterday Of. the red haired young
wife of Earle Wynekoop in the
operating room of the 16-room
home Of his mother, DR.. Alice
Lindsay Wynekoop, prominent
physician and civic leader.
Major developments in the mur-
der case, termed by police more
battling than the best Of thrill
lerS," we're:
Discovery of Sc which DR.. Wyne-
koop had reported stolen from her
desk. The money was found in a
drawer of the desk and eliminates
entirely the burglary angle.
Scratches On Face
Finding of scratches from hu-
man fingernails on the face Of
the slain girl. The scratches were
found by Police Lieut.. Stewart P.
Moss, who said they indicated the
victim had struggled for her life
before she was fatally shot in the
back. The scratches also indicated,
Moss said, that hand had been
placed over the young wife'S
mouth to keep her from scream
ing.
Police were unable to locate
Earle, the victims husband. Re
ports from Peoria, H., where he
was yesterday, indicated he might
have gone to Kansas City instead
of coming here. He had been
West on a photograph expedition.
At the same time police are
seeking John Van Pelt, 10, an
odd-job painter and decorator. who
had at times made his home at
the Wynekoop residence.
Mystery Note Found
Another mystery angle in the
investigation was an ardent note
found in the bedroom of the
mother-in-law. Police said it was
written in a feminine hand. It
was merely addressed Precious"
and was unsigned.
The note, written in feminine
hand in pencil and unsigned,
read:
precious: Pm chOked. You
are gOne-yOu have called me
up-and after 10 minutes or
so 1 called and called. No
answer. Maybe you are sleep
ing. You need to be, but
want to hear your voice again
tOnight-wOuId give anything
have to spend an hour in real
talk with you tOnight-and
cannOt-GOOd night"
Police were trying to ascertain
who wrote the note.
Who fired the fatal shot?
Where was Mrs. Wynekoop slain?

LEZONES'
DESCRIBED
BYSETTLE
"Strato" Filler Tells of Voyage;
81 Degrees Below Zero
Found in Upper Air Hop

Still showing effects Of the
strain undergone in his trip
to the stratosphere, Monday,
Lieut.. Comdr. Thomas G.. W.
Settle today called upon Secre-
tary of the Navy Swanson and
other superiors at the Navy
Department.
Settle was somewhat rested, he
said, but dark shadows still
showed beneath his eyes and he
seemed weary.
Dressed in a light gray business
suit, he chatted in Secretary
SwanSon's office and later gave a
more complete account of his ven
ture to Admiral Ernest j. King,
chief of naval aeronautics. Fol-
lowing that conference, he sub
mitted to questions of press cor
respondents in the navy press
room for nearly an hour.
Predicts Big Balloons
He told newspapermen that he
would like to go to the strato-
sphere again and preferably in
the winter time, when, he said,
atmospheric conditions are more
favorable. He predicted larger
balloons Of improved construction
will soon be making frequent
flights as high as Is miles.
The commander, who i'm
pressed everybody at the Navy De-
partment with his quiet modesty,
will return to his duties as in
spector of naval construction at
Akron, Ohio, late today. He had
not decided at late hour
whether he would fly, go by train,
or drive with his wife, who is to
join him here later today.
Major Chester L. Fordney, who
accompanied Commander Settle
on the flight in to the Strato-
sphere, will arrive in Washington
late today for reunion with his
children.
Instruments Here
Major and Mrs. Fordney are
motoring to the Capital from
New Jersey where the two fliers
dropped into a marsh Monday
night after their climb of some
$4,000 feet in to the sky in the
interest of science,
The delayed arrival of the for
mer Marine Corps officer will
probably break plans for a re-
union of the two fliers, as Comdr.
Settle must return today to
Akron, Ohio, where. he is on duty.
The delicate instruments with
which the two men who have
ascended higher than any other
Americans, and whose record is
beaten only by two Soviet air
men, were sent to the Bureau of
Standards celebration today.
Very Smooth Sailing
Describing the flight, Settle
said:
ut was as smooth up there
as drifting in a sail boat on q
calm lake. There was no buck.
citing or humping. Much of the
time We were unable to see the
ground because of haze and
mist"
The. fliers experienced no dis
comfort, despite the fact that the
temperature outside their gondola
was 81 degrees below zero.
SO well made was their car that
inside the temperature ranged be-
