INCREASE

BERLIN, March 9 Q.N.S0.
New reports of alleged Nazi in
timidation reached Berlin from
various parts of Germany today.
Various complaints were made
that Nazi "storm troopers" and
auxiliary police were taking the
law into their own hands to ar
rest or punish persons allegedly
not in sympathy with the Nazi
doctrine.
At the same time, United States
Consul General George S. Messer-
smith, presented evidence of six
cases of alleged assaults on Amer
leans by Nazis, requesting protec-
ton for American lives and prop
erty. Chief of Police Won Levent-
zow assured him that necessary
steps will be taken"
Another case involved Max
SchlusSer, an American owning
property in Berlin, who brought
suit to nullify an agreement he
signed cancelling eviction proceed
ings against a saloon keeper for
non-payment of rent.
Groups of alleged Nazis lined
up in front of big department.

ing in chorus:

DETROIT, March 9 Q.N.S0.
Mayor Frank Murphy today
pushed his investigation into re-
ports that prices of staple goods
have jumped 20 to 40 per cent
in some sections Of the city since
the banking holiday began.
Shortly after reports Of food
profiteering reached him yester-
day the mayor sent investigators
throughout the city, threatening
Jail terms for persons caught
overcharging. He has announced
he will appoint a food dictator,
if necessary, backed by police
powers, to halt the practice.
The mayor also announced he
is keeping close watch over
major merchants of the city, who
yesterday promised to cooperate
in extending credit until scrip is
ready. While absolving tn ese
merchants of profiteering tactics,
the mayor said:
"NO one is going to be al
lowed to starve in Detroit be-
cause his money is tied up in
the bank or for any other rea-
son. If credit is not given to
the needy, 1 shall not hesitate
to appoint a food dictator"

Gold Hoarders' Names
Are Known to U, S,

NEW YORK, March 9 Q.NS0.-
The Federal Reserve Board is or
ganizing a gigantic treasure hunt
which has for it's object the return
to Government vaults of millions
Of dollars worth of gold.
It is the declaration of war by
the Government against hoarderS
but the authorities are fighting O.,
hidden enemy-an enemy which
has concealed its identity under
the prosaic names of John Smith,,
Paul Jones and william Brown,
Toward the end of February.
hundreds of apprehensive citizens.
began to walk through the doors
of the Federal Reserve Bank de-.
manding gold. If the amount de-.
manded was considerable bank
employees asked the names and,
addresses of those who were with"
drawing the gold. Now the Gov.
ernment has directed the Federal
reserve banks to furnish it with
the names of those who withdrew
gold and who have failed or will
have failed by March Is to rede'-
poSit it. i
Unfortunately for the Govern.
ment, officials of the Federal Re-
serve Bank are just now begin"
ming to realize that it is quite
likely that most of the names and j.
addresses given are fictitious,
which makes the treasure hunt
the more difficult.

RESERVE BOARD.
TO BARE ALI.
HOLDERS
Presidential Order QuickenS
Plan to Expand Nations ,
Currency to Aid Banks :,

Orders issued by the Federal Re-
serve Board to check up on gold
hoarders were expanded today so
reports may be made to show all
large Withdrawals Of gold during
the last two years.
The original order sent to the
IL reserve banks said reports
should be made as to gold with
drawn from reserve institutions.
The Presidents proclamation
fixed a heavy penalty for hoard
ing gold. It Is the Governments
purpose to get as much gold as
possible out of hoard and into the
Reserve Banks to be used as the
basis for expanding the currency. Il
There is about $700,000,0 900 OUT
side Of the Treasury and in the
Reserve Banks. A portion of this
gold is boarded and the remainder
is held by banks.
The Reserve Board already has
authorized the Reserve Banks to-
impound all member bank gold,
and gold certificates.
Unless there is a substantial re-
turn of gold from boarding, the
matter may be placed in the hands
of the Secret Service and the De.
partment Of Justice and those
found boarding will be severely
dealt with.

CHICAGO WATTS
BANK ORDERS

CHICAGO, March 9 G.N.S).
Chicago banks were still closed
today and whether they will open
tomorrow will depend upon &C.
tion by Congress.
Melvin A. Traylor, president OF
the First National Bank, who has
returned here from conferences
with Treasury officials in Wash
ington, expressed the hope that
Congressional action during the
day would permit the resumption
of banking activities.
Stepping from the Capitol Linn
tied, the Chicago banker said:
"The reOpening Of our banks
is entirely in the hands Of Con-
greSS.
However, believe that Chi
cagO bankers have acted wisely
in remaining closed until the
situation is fully in hand. 1t
is the only thing we can do
under the circumstances"
Orders from Washington, Tray.
lor added, will supersede the
governors proclamation, which
shut down all banking activities
until tomorrow. Under the Fed
eral regulations banks can ap-
crate on q limited scale.

NOTES ASKED

Representative T. Alan Colds
borough CD Maryland, an
nounced today he will introduce
a. bill which will provide for
issuance of Treasury notes to
meet all obligations Of the
Government.
Under the terms of the measure
long-term and short-term bonds

Following appeals from several
foreign diplomatic missions in
Washington for permission to OBJ
tain funds from the banks, the
State Department announced to-

with Secretary of the Treasury
Woodin.

Hull expressed the hope that
the Treasury could "See the way"
to pay the money needed by the
diplomats.

rangements apply to foreign con-
suls in this country. Woodin has

FIRMS
MADE TARGET
FOR REFORM
Secret Service May Hoarders Yield Stores of Gold
Sweeping Changes Proposed
BY Chase Company Head,
Protege of John D.

NEW YORK, March 9 d.N.S0.
Out of the banking crisis now
gripping New York and the rest
Of the country there loomed today
the threat of a dramatic Rookie
feller- Morgan feud as result Of
the stand of Winthrop w. Aldrich
thas the time has come for a
sweeping program Of banking re-
form.
Pr0tege of Rockefeller
Aldrich, who heads the Chase
National, worlds largest bank, is
a Rockefeller protege. His re-
form suggestions-if put into ef-
fect-would restrict severely the
operations of Wall Streets most
prominent private banking firms,
including j. P. Morgan & Co.
Special significance was at
tached to the Aldrich proposal be-
cause the reforms are advocated
in the midst of great national
emergency and at tine when
President Roosevelt is graphing
with the problem of adequate
banking legislation to prevent a
recurrence of the present business
paralysis.
Aldrich'S reforms not only would
separate commercial banks from
their securities affiliates but also
regulate banking partnerships re-
ceiving deposits and sever existing
relations between private and
commercial banking. In general,
his reforms aim at the complete
divorce Of deposit and investment
banking. Sale of securities by
banks would be struck a death
blow.
Proposes New Set-Up
The American banking set-up,
under the Aldrich plan, calls for
the bringing of all commercial
banks into the Federal Reserve
System.
It was the most drastic plan
Tor banking reforms that has yet
come out of Wall Street and was
the principal topic of discussion
In the financial district today.
Members of the Morgan firm
refused to see reporters today
and none could be reached by
telephone except George Whitney,
who declined flatly to comment
on the A1drich Sfotonoa1of
Aldrich proposed reforms af-
fecting his own institution as
well as other banking organiza-
tions. His whole plan is designed
to purge the commercial banking
business of all taint of specula-
tive leadership. It would reduce
the present overlords of the New
York money market to a position
of relative impotence.

Congressional Leaders
Hail AIdrich Proposal

The drastic reforms in bank
ing structure and practices pro-
posed by such conservative fig
ure as Winthrop w. Aldrich, head
of the giant Chase National
Bank, struck a warmly responsive
chord today among members of
the assembling Congress. Said
Representative Byrns, Democratic
leader Of the House:
II think something like what
Mr.. Aldrich proposes will do
more to restore confidence in
banks than anything else. It
is the Presidents idea"
Representative Reilly DO of
Wisconsin, member of the
Banking Committee:
'That is a startling state
ment, coming from such a man
rs MIR. Aldrich. I think it is
also in the right direction.
Commercial banking must be
completely divorced, not only
by separating the institutions,
but requiring separate officers
for commercial and investment
banking"
Speaker Rainey. corroborated
Representative Byrns' statement
that President Roosevelt generally
supports the Aldrich views. He
said:
Zone New York banker asked
tho DwmCS&nOA&
do, and he was told we should
separate the banks from the
security houses"
Representative McFadden CR.)
Of Pennsylvania, a former chair
man of the House Banking Com
mittee, said:
"My reaction is favorable. 1
would 60 even further and COM
pei private banking houses to
operate under State and ma
tiOnal laws, particularly those
that do international business"
Representative Hooper (RO Of
Michigan, also on the Banking
Committee, said:
''BefOre such a far-reaching
policy could be adopted it
would have to be carefully
studied. There is a possibility
Of greatly injuring legitimate
interests"
Representative Col ldsborough
,(DO of Maryland:
II take Mr.. Aldrich's state
ments at their face value, and
not only approve them, but
think they constitute a tre-.
mendOus and gratifying indica-
tiOn of the fundamental patriot
ism and social consciousness Of
American business and financial
leaders"

RACING GROUP
FOOLS OFFICER

SAN MATEO, Cal, Oct. Is. W.H
Baden dog racing track officials
had their first laugh today in a
long time at the expense of their
prosecutor, Constable Syl Lam
DIM.
Landini came to the track with
warrant permitting him to seize
the mechanical rabbit which the
dogs chase. But news of his pur-
pose had preceded him and the
dogs were pursuing a mechanical
fox. Since the warrant clearly
read rabbit Landini abandoned
his plan temporarily.
The constable raided the track
several times, but after every visit,
racing resumed.
The promoters, however, faced
abatement proceedings which may
close their plant. District Attor-
ney Edmund Scott, San Mateo
county, asked a temporary injunc-
ton to halt racing. A hearing will
be- held Monday. Scott charged
that gambling was permitted at the
track, creating a condition injuri-
Gus to "public morals.'

Der 30, California State Nurses as
sociation, attended the presidents
council, held at the Nurses club in
Los Angeles.
At that time a booklet prepared
by the American Nurses association
in New York City came in for dis
cussion. the following pertinent
paragraphs being emphasized:
Successive communications from
the office of the National Recovery
Administration in response to in
quiries from the American Nurses
association have brought cut the
following points with reference to
nurses:
The Presidents unemployment
agreement. otherwise known as the
blanket code, does .lot apply to
nurses. as illustrated in the follow
ing quotation from the Presidents
unemployment agreement: shall
not apply 10 professional persons
employed in their profession
In view of this Interpretation.
the board of directors of the Ameri-
can Nurses association present GER
tain principles TO be used for the
guidance Of local groups. These
principles are as follows:
In making available the most ef-
fectiye type of nursing service, pri-
mary consideration of the patient,
whether in the hospital or in the
home is an accepted principle.
mo plan for economic recovery in
this country viii be complete with
out taking into consideration the
matter Of thousands of graduate re-
gistered nurses, who are unemploy-
ed at the present time, due to over
production, unequal distribution,
and the general strained economic
conditions prevailing.
Because of the highly developed
technical skill required in modern
nursing, the service of the nurse is
necessarily Of a professional char
acter; yet because Of her practical
relation to the public in terms OF
hours, days and weeks, this servise
must be dealt with from an eco
nomic standpoint, and SO becomes
involved in general problems of pro-
duction and consumption.
However. an attempt should be
made TO approach reasonable work
ing conditions by encouraging
where possible, in the interest Of the
patient as well as the nurse, an
eight-hour day for those employed
on a daily basis, and 4S-hour week
for those employed on a weekly Oh
monthly schedule. 1t is undoubted-
lv desirable to shorten the hours OF
duty so that the individual nurse
may have a reasonable working day
and also that there may be q
spreading Of work
