Chevrolet Low Bid Renews
Ford's Feud With NRA

However, Sabine's exceptions
were believed to refer to what he
described as "a lot of trick
clauses" requiring him to state
that all makers and handlers of
Ford parts used in the trucks had
complied with the MIRA code.
Sabine was the only bidder who
took exception to the MIRA code.
All the other bidders agreed to
comply with it without exception.
Needed Only Week
Although Sabine was the third
low bidder, he agreed to supply the
TOO trucks within seven days after
acc ptance of his bid. The others
requested a period ranging from
five to 40 days. Robert Fechner,
chief of the CCC, previously had
declared he wanted the trucks de-
livered as r; .pidly as possible.
Sabine charged publicly during
the past few days that Fechner
and the War Department had con-
niped with other motor dealers to
prevent Ford dealers from getting
contracts because of Henry Ford's
friction with the Administration
over the MIRA. This was denied
by War Department spokesman.

ROOSEVELT
BOOSTS GOLD
PRICE AGAIN
Replies to Criticism of Money
Policy With New Rise;
Shake-up Rumored
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

The Administration replied
today to those of its critics
who have been demanding
abandonment of the gold pur-
chase experiment by again ad-
vancing the price of the vel
low metal.
The Treasury quoted $685. per
ounce for gold today, as against
$33.76 yesterday, an increase of
9 cents.
It furnished ample evidence
that President Roosevelt is deter
mined to proceed with his present
monetary policy undeterred by
criticism. at home or by pressure
from abroad.
First in Week
Today's advance was the first in
week. Last Tuesday the price
was fixed at $33.76, and it re-
manned at that figure throughout
the week, leading to the belief in
some quarters that the top had
been reached, and that the Ad-
ministration was about ready to
undertake sterilization of the
dollar.
The new advance dispelled all
such beliefs. 1t revealed that
straight ahead" is the Admins
tration's budapest in the present
trend.
Meanwhile, rumors were current
of another shake-up in the finan-
cial personnel.
Eugene R. Black, governor of
the Federal Reserve system, leaves
for Warm Springs today to confer
with Mr.. Roosevelt. Black has
been one of the little coterie who
have been out of sympathy with
the Presidents gold policy.
Won't Be Surprise
The Capital would not be
greatly surprised if Black soon
follows Dean Acheson, Prof. o. M.
w. Sprague and others into retire
ment. If, and when. he relin-
pushes his post, he probably will
return to his old job as governor
of the Atlanta reserve bank.

many of the companies will withdraw from
