New York. April 20. - The
United States was frankly Off
the gold standard today for the
first time since specie ayments
were resumed ID 1879.
The step was hailed in many
quarters as a constructive move
designed to reduce the purchas
ing power of the dollar, and con,
sequentiy raise the price level,
in a move to bring the nations
economic machinery once more
into working balance.
Going off the gold standard
means that the national currency
for the time being, is not re
deemable in gold. Gold pay
ments had been severely restrict
ed since the banking holyday
last month. but starting yester
day the government announced
definitely that it would cease
licensing goldlexports to support
the dollar in relation to other
currencies, which definitely took
the country off the gold stand
ard.
The gold standard is Of prac
tical Importance chiefly 10 inter.
national trade. since gold is the
only international standard of
value. Gut free from gold. the
dollar is left TO find its own level

CAPITALISM IS
 NOT AMONGST
 GODS FRIENDS
So Pope Plus Told a Party of Italian Priests Who Were Studying at Vati- can

Vatican City, Feb 24-UP)- "Capitalism is not amongst Gods friends" the pope said today in addressing party of Italian priests. The priests had completed a course of study of clauses in the Italian-Vatican concordat dealing with property and Ecclesiastical bodies.
 "Everything, including earthly things, must be administered well because the church's property tends to support the supernatural life" the pope said. Earthly things are despicable as such. God, gives and takes them regardless of where they fall. "On the other hand, Gods son chose poverty during his life on earth. Capitalism is not among Gods friends. Nevertheless. God after accepting the offerings of the shepheards, accepted those of the kings. Therefore, he does not disdain material things provid- ing they serve the great aims for which he came to earth, namely. the glory of God and the salvation of souls"

LOST OFFICE AND
 ATTEMPTED TO
 DO SOME MURDER
Farmer BroOded for Eight Years and To-day Shot Down County Commits sioners and Killed Him= self

Celina. Ohio, Feb 24-UP)- Eight years of breeding over his defeat for the county surveyors office was alleged to-day to have led E. B. Morrison. 60, a farmer. to shoot two county commission CTS and then commit suicide.
 The injured are Commissioners Harold Frysinger. 60, and Fred Goettemoeller. 55. both are in a serious condition.
 Doctors held little hope for re- covery of the two commissioners.
 The shooting was in front of the courthouse at noon. Commission CTS Coettemoeller and Frysinger. were in company with county sur veyor Ralph Wright, who was be- lieved to be the intended victim, Commissioner Daniel Moeller and another man.
 Morrison had parked his auto mobile at the curb. He advanced to within 10 paces of the group and fired both barrels of shot gun. Goettemoeller and Frysinger fell and rolled down the court house steps to the pavement.
 Wright and the others escaped by leaping behind a pillar at the courthouse entrance.
 Morrison then strolled leisurely to his auto, his gun smoking. Au- thorities followed him to his home but arrived few minutes after he had committed suicide.
 Friends said Morrison had been disgruntled since his defeat for surveyor in 1928 and the grudge had ranked in his breast since then.

The fact that three democrats have voted with the republicans on several minor judgeships make it possible for Judge T. V. Meyer to retain his position. Judge John F. McGrath is certain of reappoint- ment. If Judge Meyers name should be brought up in a special resolution and passed there would be no change in the city court lineup, the prosecuting attorneys, two instead of three. being re- named, a clerk and an assistant and two probation officers.
 In state circles it is admitted that Waterbury courtships hold the center of the stage. Judge Mey- er's reappointnient issroniy a. pos-- sibility, but the question that re- mains is who Is going to replace him? Senators Joseph Lawlor and Joseph Hackett have made no public comment on a choice. The two present democratic candidates are Attorneys Edward J. Mascolo and Walter Monogan.
 Locally the question is being asked which side does Attorney Thomas J. Spellacy of the Old Guard democrats favor. He is credited with having the necessary power to name the next democrat judge of the police court of Wa terbury. And after that pertinent query is answered the next ques- ton is whether or not either Sem ator Hackett or Lawlor is going to receive any consideration. It has been intimated that negotiations have been started that might elim- mate both in the final decision on the pending judegship.
 Republicans are also on the alert. A big boom is being started to have Attorney Enal Hummell retained as prosecuting attorney. Attorney Charles Summa, the pres ent third prosecutor, is said to have the inside track and is going to remain in power regardless or the sentiment for or against his candidacy.
 There is no doubt but what the final makeup of the local police court is going to cause plenty or comment, regardless of the out come. It is written in the book that a big surprise awaits the com placent expert dopester.
