Mayor elect of Metropolis Plans Many Funda-

NEW YORK, Nov 9.-The Tam many Tiger today surveyed the wreckage left by Mayor Elect Flo relle LaGuardia's smashing Fusion victory and marshalled it's shat tered forces to see if the damage could be repaired.
 There is prospect of a bitter fight in the city's Democratic ranks. This is seen in statement issued by John Curry, Tammany Chief, accusing James A. Farley, Postmaster General, of disrupting the party in the city and assert ing that if Farley remained in the party's office, the Democrats could not look for victory in next years election.
 Plans of Fusi0nists
 Meanwhile the Fusionists are preparing to strengthen their po- sition by forming a permanent or ganization.
 Mayor-Elect LaGuardia plans to take a vacation to recuperate af- ter his hard campaign. He said graft must go and expenditures cut to the bone. He also aims to revive the city charter by abolish ing the Board of Aldermen and making other fundamental chang es.
 City To Be Orderly

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 9.-A routine arrest by a small-town Wisconsin constable was responsi- ble indirectly for bringing four members of the Touhy gang into Federal Court here today for a second major test of the Lind bergh" Kidnapping law.
 This quartet = Roger Touhy, Gus Schaefer, Eddie McFadden and Willie Sharkey-will be tried for the $100,O00 abduction last June of William Hamm, Jr., wealthy St. Paul brewer.
 Leng Hunted For Crimes
 Sought for months by metro politan police in connection with a variety of racket crimes, the Touhy foresome can trade it's pre- dicament to a minor auto acci- dent near Elkhorn, Wis, last July g and the prompt action of Police Chief Harry Ward in locking the four men up when he found rope, tape, gauge and other parapher- nalia in their car.
 Their possession of S1,200 in $1O bills caused police to link the men with the Hamm abduction. Hamm was held nearly four days.
 The indictments under which the men are held charge transpor- tation in interstate commerce of a Kidnapped person held for ran som, and conspiracy to that end. both charges coming under the "Lindbergh" law, which was in voked also in the conviction of Harvey Bailey, Albert Bates, and George Machine Gum Kelly, in the Urschel Kidnapping.
 Father Was Policeman
 Six brothers whose father, James, was policeman 25 years ago, formed the nucleus for the gang.
 John and Joseph Touhy were slain in warfare with the Capone gang, according to underworld le- gend, with Robert assuming lead ership.
 Tn the summer of 1892 occurred the first of several machine-gun killings for which Touhy gan g members were sought.
 Some authorities also asserted the Touhy outfit engineered the kidaping of John Factors son, Jerome, and a few weeks later of Kidnapping Jake the Barbar,' him. self. A more recent entanglement of the Touhys' affairs came when they were sought during investi- gation of the staying of Gus Win kler.

 LIQUOR TAXES
Problem Being Discussed at White House-Meet-
 ing Set for Friday
KENTUCKY BELIEVED
 TO BE IN WET RANKS Territories Will Be Per-
mitted to Engage in Traffic as Outlined

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Presi- dent Roosevelt is turning his at tention to the liquor traffic prob lem now that thirty-seven states, one more than necessary of three fourths, have voted to take the Eighteenth Amendment from the Constitution.
 Kentucky In Line
 Kentucky is the last state to join the wet parade, it is believed. The votes were being counted yes- terday and today repeal leads by 21 ,000 with only one-fifth of the precincts yet to be counted. The race is however nip and tuck in the rural districts but the vets are confident and if they continue to lead, repeal will be accomplish ed by December 5; otherwise on December 6.
 Tax Program
 The program for tax legislation to be submitted to Congress along with the repeal of the Volstead Act, will permit of the sale of dis tillates in the District of Colum- bia and the Territories. The pro- gram will be considered at a meet ing of the department representa- tives at the White House tomor- row. This program includes plans to keep arid those states not vot- ing to ratify repeal and may re- vive sending the much-feared pre- Prohibition revenue agents into moonshine areas.

BRADLEY RAPS
 TWO ROOSEVELT
 P 0L|C|ES HERE
Ala S ka Juneau President Criticises Managed Cur
 rency and N. R. A.

Two of the major policies of the Roosevelt Administration were dis cussed at some length before the Chamber of Commerce by F. k. Bradley, President of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, who was inclined to be skeptical of the workability and practicability of both. He dealt first with managed currency and last with the MIRA system.
 The former he branded as silly and futile" and the second as probably due to fail. Rebellion, he said has broken out against NRe and the agitation against it is in- creasing.
 The Gold Experiment
 Currency management through manipulation of the price Of gold, he believed, would not be success ful. He described the several steps taken by the President in the evo- lution of this program.
 The first was taking the country off the gold standard April 20, last, at which time an embargo against the shipment of gold abroad was declared. This had the immediate effect of cheapening the price Of the American dollar and raising commodity prices. This naturally raised the price of gold but not it's value which remained at S2067 per ounce at home.
 The American producer of gold demanded the right to sell his pro- duct at the world price and on a world market. In answer to that sentiment, on July 27, the Attor- ney General of the United States ruled that gold ores and concen- trates were not covered by the em- bargo. This, however, was insuffi- cient to cover the situation and on August 12, MT. Cummings in a detailed opinion added precipitates and amalgam to the exempt list.
 Gold Exodus Begins
 The producers then stopped pro- ducing bullion and began to ship their gold in exempt form out of the country. To stop this, on Aug ust 29, by authority of Presidential proclamation, the Treasury Depart ment began to purchase domestic gold for consignment to fore n countries.
 That practice was maintained until October p, when another Executive Order was issued author izing the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to fix the price for and purchase all of the domestic production, thus further debaslng the dollar value and raising the price of commodities. This, how ever, did not work fully as foreign countries still maintained their own ideas about dollar values.
 So, on October 27, the Recon struction Finance Corporation was authorized by the President tol buy and sell both domestic and foreign gold at its own prices, the purpose being to drive down the dollar value and lift commodity prices.
 Is Not Practical
 In MT. Bradleys opinion this IS not practical. In fact, he declared. Its just as silly and futile as the other steps in the program.
 As he sees the results, foreign countries will act in similar man. ner as regards their own currencles and neutralize any effect the Am erican policy might have. There IS nothing to keep Europe from dolng the same thing and nobody will gam anything. It is all more or less a lot of hooey," he asserted.
 The general idea, he pointed out' is to bring up commodity prices

BATTLE IN HAVANA; THREATS ARE MADE
Prohibition Is Still Here, Warns Government

WASHINGTON, Nov. g. The rattle of cocktail shakers and glasses sounded an abli- gato from coast to coast and speakeasies's bars blossomed out to bask in the warmth Of repeal election results but the Government warned "the law is still there and the policy of the Department of Justice is to enforce it until legally rati- fled"
 Advices received here, how ever, are that nowhere have authorities taken any actions to move against those who jumped the repeal gun.

OPPOSITION IS NOT VOICED TO
 CHANNEL BRIDGE
Lift-Span Type, However Is Suggested as More
 Suited Local Needs

Before an audience that almost filled the floor and galleries Of the House of Representatives and included Acting Gov. E. w. Grif- fin, and other Territorial and Federal officials, Mayor I. Gold stein, representatives of the Cham ber of Commerce of Juneau and Douglas and the hearing on the application of the Territory for a permit to construct a fixed-span bridge over Gastineau Channel be- tween this city and Douglas was held yesterday afternoon by Lieut.. John R. Moves.
 It was a two-hour session and was marked by the almost total absence of formal objection to the proposed structure so far as pres ent and prospective future naviga- tion is concerned However, it was suggested that it might be more advisable to erect a lift span bridge to take care of possi- ble future development.
 Sound Out Sentiment
 The closest thing to opposition came from the Juneau Lumber Mills, represented by c. T. Gard ner, who said that his firm had two vessels engaged in moving log rafts to and from a log storage in the basin above the proposed bridge site which would be handi- capped to a degree by the erection of fixed span structure unless it had 50-foot perpendicular clearance at mean high water. The proposed bridge has a 43-foot clearance.
 He submitted two alternative plans for a street level structure with a lift-span. These, however, Lieut.. Moves pointed out, could not be considered under the pres ent application. B. F Heintzleman Asst. Regional Forester, and R. J. Sommers, local engineer and former Highway Engineer of the Terri tory, both favored the lift-span

viet Union never recognized any such debts.
 On the other hand, a cardinal principle of American foreign pol icy since the war has been to ex- act some sort of settlement of obligations even though consider ably scaled down.
 Should Roosevelt demand a guar anteee that Soviet diplomatic rep resentatives in this country es- chew propaganda activities, it prob ably would be granted on mutual basis The Moscow government has given similar promises to oth- CT governments and, in fact, has held that it is no more responsi- ble for the foreign campaigns of the Third Internationale than are other governments for the actions of political publicity organiza- tions domiciled within their bor- ders.
 Credit Buys-Cash Sales
 Concerning credits for trade, which Department of Commerce officials estimate might reach $100000,000 a year, it is consid- cred likely that the Reconstruc- ton Finance Corporation would be asked to advance the necessary money. It would be deposited in this country and drawn against as Russia bought goods here
 American purchases in Russia, if that country follows her usual practice, would be for cash.
