roll for the second six months
period. General Conner said that
plans have been made for the re-
enrolment mission to be undertake
en- in the next few weeks, the OBJ
ject of which is to bring the corps
up to full strength in line with the
presidents instructions to provide
employment to youths now uncm-
ployed to fill the places OF the men
who leave the Corps.
Under the plan none of the ell
40 men now at the New England
camps who wish to continue in the
Corps, will BIO given formal dis
charges but will merely sign ten
word Endorsement on their original
enrolment papers accepting en-
ployment in the Corps for another
SIX months.
Just how many vacancies for I'M
employed youths will be available
at the New England camps as
result of the rc-enrollment pro-
gram, neither General Conner nor
any Of his staff officers were pre-
pared to say to-day, pending re-
ports to be received at Corps Area
Headquarters here for command
ing officers at the camps In the
next few days. These are awaited
with much interest as they will
give the first indication what
vacancies will result and which
must be filled in the reenrollment
mission.
It was pointed out that the ex-
act number OF vacancies Will not
be known until October LIST when
the Gee men now at the camps
and who Wish to continue In the
corps, must reenroll.
1t is anticipated that actual
enrolment OF new members to fill
the vacancies will commence about
October Is, 1t was said.
Meanwhile. General Conner and
his staff officers are completing
details OF the reenrollment pro-
gram to the end that, the mis-
sion, once known. will be carried
out with the same rapidity which
chara cterized the army's organiza-
ton of the Conservation Corps and
its concentration at work camps In
the six states.

definite announcement or the I'M
mediate monetary policy OF the
United States will be made within
80 days, the United Press was IN
formed to-day by u high admins
tration leader.
The Reconstruction Finance cor
poration advanced the govern
ment's easy credit policy by Offer
ing to loan banks 1.O00,000,O00
to be released to aid business re-
vival.
The monetary announcement. It
was said, will define within GER
tain limits the immediate status OF
the American dollar and may IN
dictate to some extent the level at
which the dollar will fluctuate. 1t
may reveal the administrations In
tentions as to actual currency In
flation sentiment among congress-
men has led to insistent demands
by bankers and business men that
the monetary program be defined.
Conservative admin s t r
members reiterated that actual
money imitation was not imminent
and also that actual sterilization
of the dollar in terms of gold or
any other unit was still some time
in the future.
I'VE are going to push our credit
expansion powers to the limit be-
fore we resort to actual cheaper
ing of the dollar through initiating
the currency" one administration
leader told the United Press to-
day. "Of course If our credit ex-
pansion program does not boost
prices to the desired limit. we may
have to initiate the currency"
The r. F. c.. billion-dollar loan
offer was the latest move in the
administrations effort to induce
banks to loosen up on credits need
ed by business men to enable them
to participate fully in the recov-
cry program.
The r. F. c. offered TO loan the
money to banks. trust and mort
gage companies for six months al

In 1920, Scott says, it actually

ricate all the automobiles produc-

been used to produce the same
number of automobiles, the indus

beneficial in more ways than one.
Another plan, which needs the
cooperation of county officials, is
to have an arrangement concluded
whereby all minor offenses against
the peace of the city be tried in
police court and not carried be-
fore criminal court.
Under this arrangement the peo-
pie of Monroe county will be saw
ed many dollars and the city be
benefited to a certain extent.
Persons tried before criminal court
when found guilty, have fine inn
posd and the costs of court in adj
dition. Many persons are forced
to remain in Jail because of their
being unable to pay the fine and
costs, and the county loses the
fine and costs and is forced to
feed the prisoners.
If they were tried in police
court they would have a nominal
fine imposed, which they would
probably be able to pay, and in
this way the city would be bene-
fitted.
Other plans touching on condi-
tions extant in city affairs are
being studied by Mr.. Malone and
as soon as they are ready will be
made public. The support of the
people and the cooperation of the
officials in both city and county
will enable the mayor to make
changes. introduce new ideas that
will prove of lasting benefit to the
city, he feels.
