R.F.C. To Be KEY
OF PRESIDENTS
CREDIT PLAN
BY international News Service

BY International News Service
President Roosevelt came back
here today ready to throw the Fed
eral Government directly behind
the banking system of the nation
in an effort to expand credits and
throw real cash into trade chan
nels.
Henry Bruere, 51-year-old presi
dent of the Bowery Savings Bank
Of New York, and an expert in in
dustrial financing, will head the
giant coordinating setup to ad'
minister the banking program
He came here with the President
from New York today.
Seeks Quick Action
An announcement setting forth
details Of the program is expected
soon, probably today. The Presi'
dent has completed preliminary
plans for the new move and is
anxious to get it operating as
quickly as possible. There may
be a number of changes in meth
odS later, but the basic plan is to
60 the limit in placing the Treas
Ury'S resources behind the banks
There was a hint that the Re-
construction Finance Corporation
might be greatly expanded to back
the several phases Of operation
The Government is anxious to get
banks busy loaning money, and 1t
was pointed out that this would
be possible should some method OF
Federal discounting of bank paper
be worked out.
Should the r. F. C. be ex.
panded, as some Of the PreSi-
dents advisors have suggested,
this organization could do the
discounting, backed as it is with
almost unlimited federal funds.
Conference on Today
Mr.. Roosevelt will settle final
phases of policy with regard the
new program in conference
with Bruere today. Under present
plans, the program will begin
functioning within week or so.
Generally, it was expected that
all Of the present credit agencies
Of the Government would be
thrown under one big body in the
new plan. Up to the present the
r. F. c., the $3,30O,000,OOO public
works fund, and the agricultural
credits units have been operating
separately. Mr.. Roosevelt wants
the efforts Of all these drawn
together under a single head and
thus made more effective. 1t will
be Bruere's job to do this.

unemployed . landscape gardener.
Axel Peterson, 50, confessed today
to attempting to extort $4,000 from
Mrs. James A. Patten, widow of
ChicagoS wheat king" so that he
could pay mortgage on his home.

Rufus Dawes, head of Chicagos
Century of Progress fair and

Five letters, police disclosed, had

that $4,000 be paid unless she
wanted something terrible to hap
pen to her.
The last gave directions for leav-
ing the money, and Peterson was
trapped when he was found near

have been turned over.
Peterson, in his confession to po-
lice, was reported to have said that
a mortgage on his home was about

him.

told them, had been lost a short
time ago in a gold mining venture,
and he had been unemployed for

10000 PINTS OF
WHISKY READY
FOR SALE HERE
City Cold Sufferers Wait
Federal Approval of
Prescriptions.

Twelve thousand pints of rare
old whisky, enough to cure all the
colds in indianapolis, was under
heavy guard here today, awaiting
completion of arrangements for dis
pensation of medicinal whisky.
The shipment, a freight car load.
was received Friday by the Mooney
Mueiler-Ward Company, wholesale
druggists, and is said to be the first
legal shipment of whisky into Indi-
ana since the state entered the drv
ranks.
The whisky bears such familiar
labels as Old Taylor, Sunnybrook,
Kentucky Colonel, Hermitage rye.
Mt. Vernon Maryland rye, Susque-
hanna rye and Honeymoon.
Sale in Two Weeks
Included in the supply are sew
eral cases of brandy, rum and gin.
The whisky is from IA to 16 years
old. 1t can be sold only by licensed
druggists on prescriptions issued by
Not more than one pre-
scription for one pint may be issued
to one patient each ten days by
physician.
Druggists are prohibited, under
the new Indiana statutes and the
federal law, from filling more than
one prescription for a person in the
same period.
1t is expected ten days to two
weeks will be required before the
of distribution is set up
by the state.
William j. Mooney Jr., vice-presi-
dent of the drug company, said the
whisky will sell for from $2.75 to
$375 retail, with gin, rum and
brandy selling for a little less.
Prices Less in Year
Prices should be considerably less
in about year, he said, as by that
time all the pre-war stocks of gov
eminent whisky warehouses will
have been exhausted and four-year-
old stocks will be used.
He explained that a fifty-gallon
barrel Of whisky will lose about one
gallon year by evaporation. In
sixteen years, contents of a fifty
gallon barrel would be reduced to
about thirty-four gallons, the price
being increased to cover the loss.
However, the whisky remaining
after the evaporation is mellower,
he said.
The gin received in the shipment
is far cry from the bathtub va
riety of Volstead days, as it was
made from real juniper berries fif-
Ceen years ago.
