Complain About Nazi Vio-

BERLIN, Oct. IL G.N.SO.-
Diplomatic representations by the
United States, Great Britain,
Spain and Holland regarding al
legged mistreatment of their ma
tionalS in Germany will be made

Foreign Office today and tomor-
row.
United States Ambassador Will
liam E. Dodd is scheduled to lodge
his protest tomorrow, confining
his representations to the case of
Roland Velz, of Meriden, Conn.,,
who lived in Germany for six
years.
Struck BY Trooper
Velz complained of being struck
by a Nazi storm trooper when he
failed to salute a Nazi detachment
parading in the street. He insisted
his view was blocked by persons
standing five deep on the sidewalk
and did not see the Swastika flag.
Dispatches from Washington
have stated that Secretary of
State Cordell Hull will define the
Administrators attitude regard
ing Germany largely on the basis
of reports received from Ambassa-
dor Dodd concerning the Velz
case.
DOdd Seeks Advice
It was revealed today that the
United States, in the course of the
past year, has presented three
strong notes to the German For
eign Office. Only the last one, it
was said, received what was de-
scribed as adequate attention"
Ambassador Dodd has cabled
Washington for additional instruc-
tionS, declaring that assailants Of
three other Americans have not
been punished.

'UN.SO.-Three heavy explosions
reverberated through the early
morning mists of this strife-torn
coal mining center today, aWak
ening numerous residents and
causing the patrolling Indiana
National Guardsmen to redouble
their vigilance.
Both. civil and military authori

blasts could not be traced imme

Nine union coal mines in this
field were reported at work to
day.
The Sullivan county grand jury
today began investigating the
dynamiting of the homes of two

day.
A survey Of this coal field to

Of CREDIT PUT
UNDER WAY
R. F. c., Banks and S. Loans
Used; Drive Defers Decision
On Money Initiation
By GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

Deluged with conflicting advice
as to whether to initiate or not
to initiate, to stabilize or not to
stabilize the dollar, President
Roosevelt apparently is determined
to explore every avenue of credit
expansion before resorting to any
of the inflationary powers
granted him in the Thomas
amendment.
He is moving now for widely
expanded credit through the R.
F. c., whose life will be extended
beyond the expiration date of
February 20 next. A plan will be
announced next week for un-
freezing the deposits in banks
still closed, with payments of so
per cent to depositors; various
steps are under contemplation for
stimulating heavy industry
through Federal loans; and
finally the Governments borrow
ing capacity is to be given a
thorough testing by the decision
to recall one-third of the Fourth
Liberty Loan.
Definite Policy Deferred
Until the results of these moves
can be aSsayed and studied, the
President will refrain from fixing
any definite monetary policy. In
recent weeks he has been sub
jected to heavy pressure to an
nounce definite dollar policy.
He has been advised that uncer-
tainty as to the status of the dol
lar go or 80 days hence is a re-
tarding factor in the whole recov-
cry program; that business is
hesitant over making commit
ments in view of this uncertainty.
Mr.. Roosevelt has listened at
tentively to the inflationiStS and
the anti-inflationiSts and has kept
his own counsel. But it is now
becoming apparent that he is 60
ing to "try everything else" before
exercising any of the prerogatives
over the dollar granted him by the
last Congress. BY the first of the
year, the success or failure of
present moves should be fairly
well determined.
Congress Session Potent
By that date Congress will be
returning to Washington for a
session of undetermined length
that promises to be as momentouS
as the last.
The Thomas amendment gave
Mr.. Roosevelt almost dictator-like
powers over the American dollar.
He can, if he chooses, issue up to
So, ,00O, 100000 in new currency,
devalue the dollar to the extent of
SO per cent, and compel the Fed
eral Reserve System to invade the
Federal security field on a gigantic
scale.
For more than four months
these powers have rested unused
in Mr.. Roosevelt's hands. If in
another three months conditions
are not materially improved, it is
possible that Congress will direct
the President to take the steps
that last spring it merely author
lied him to take.
