BOLD PROGRAM IS ANNOUNCED
 BY UNCLE SAM
P Pocketbooks to Be Replen- ished with Managed
 Currency Now

NEW YORK, April 20.-Uncle Sam launched upon a bold pro gram to replenish the pocketbook with managed dollars, has tempor- arily cut loose from gold.
 The Hateful step of going off the Gold Standard" was frankly taken before the actual announce ment was made by Secretary of Treasury Woodin late yesterday afternoon.
 Decline Started
 The dollar started to decline late in yesterdays stock session and prices of commodities had surged upward.
 Not since the redemption of pa- per currency in gold, resumed in 1879, had the United States off cially announced it was off the Gold Standard, although the en- bargo on gold exports has been in effect since the world war.
 Mcrgan's Viewpoint
 J. P. Morgan announced that out of the confusion in financial cir cles, it seems to me that to clear the way out of depression is to combat and overcome deflationary forces"
 Morgan further said that em- barking upon managed currency program by the United States was an unprecedented step for ma- jor country.

M. ), BAvARD
 IS STRICKEN,
 PASSES AWAY
Prominent Business Man of Juneau Dies Sudden
 ly Last Night

Juneau was sad, shocked and unbelieving today when the sud- den death last night of Michael John Bavard became known.
 MT. Bavard had been slightly ill since Tuesday. He and his family thought he was developing influ- enza. Yesterday he was ordered to bed by Dr. w. w. Council, who pro- nounced his tonsils infected, treat ed them and told him to take care of himself. There was no thought of anything serious in connection with his illness. He just didn't feel very well. He spent most of the day in bed, but was up and about his apartment several times during the day, and worked on his books last night.
 Dies In Wife's Arms
 He retired for the night about 10 o'clock, talked to his wife as she prepared to retire, and, &C., cording to Mrs. Bavard, dropped to sleep about Il o'clock. About 11:15 she heard him breathing heavily, thought he wished to cough and tried to assist him. She called to her brother-in -in-law, Nick Bavard, who came from the ad- joining apartment. Even then there was nothing to indicate to her that death was so near. Her hus- band died in her arms a moment or so later.
 When Dr. Council, called immed- lately, came into the room at 11:20, he said that MT. Bavard was dead.
 Emboism was the cause of death, Dr. Council said, and explained that it appeared that a blood clot had got into the veins and been carried along until it was stopped as the vein became smaller and thus cut off circulation from a vital region.
 Born in Greece
 Michael John Bavard was born in Greece, March 3, 1891. When he was sixteen years old he came to the United States and spent the years between 1907 and 1917 in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, B. c. In April, 1917, he came to Alaska and established the Cali fornia Fruit Company, which later became the California Grocery His younger brother, Nick Bavard, who had followed him to this coun- try in 1910, joined him in Alaska a few months after his arrival here and has been associated in busi-

P PRESIDENT IS PREP AIRING FOR
 WORLD ACTION
Starts Campaign to Restore Price Levels, Wages
 and Gre dit
IN POSITION TO DEAL
 WITH HOTHER NATIONS
Depreciated Currency Will Form Groundwork for
 Negotiations Now

WASHINGTON, April 20. The United States, late yesterday afternoon, tempor- arily swung away from the Gold Standard.
 During yesterday after noon, President Roosevelt an. nOunced a move would be m d e on the international and domestic fronts in a broad d campaign to restore American price levels, wages and credit.
 :, Focusing first attention on the coming economic cOnver- satiOns and acting to strength en his hand in these negotia- ti0ns, he withdrew support of the American dollar on foreign exchanges in order to attain a position to deal with the foreign powers which have gone on depreciated standards.
 GOLD EMBARGO
 The P e sident announced restoration of the gold em- bargo as a move to improve domestic commodity prices and evinced a determination to execute efforts ward bringing all nations back onto the Gold Standard, perhaps at a lower ratio than the existing forty per cent gold reserve for currency, by bringing about restoration of the world monetary situation.
 The President is confident of immeasurably improving the posi- tion of American currency in trade in preparing for the international parleys and he is putting this na- ton in the same position as all others with a view of finding an agreement for more stable world basis. He has in mind a controlled price level, controlled credits and managed currency.
 The President during yesterday afternoon announced he would ask Congress today for power to carry out his plan.
 Following the announcement of the proposed plan, Secretary of Treasury Woodin interpreted the action of the President as taking the United States off the Gold Standard.
