President Roosevelt will act wise
" and will authorize only con-
trolled initiation and sound cur
rency under jhc sweeping Thomas
bill, the senate was told yesterday
by Chairman Pat Harrison Of the
finance committee.
The Mississippi senator was
provoked to enter the heated SEN
ate controversy over The currency
expansion bill by Il biting and
vitriolic Republican attack during
which the president was asked re-
peatedlv to relieve business I'M
certainty by defending the scope
of the imitation he proposes to
employ.
"The country knows" Harrison
shouted, that the man at the
helm Of this government will per
nit nothing unsound. will not
take unjustly from one man and
give to another. There is nothing
in this bill against sound money.

this measure if it did not provide
for controlled inAation.'
The vigorous Republican often
sive yesterday, led by Senator
David A. Reed, Pa, apparently
made no appreciate dent in the
ranks Of supporters of the meas

the flood of oratory delayed the
bill. Leaders expect a final vote
today. Victory for the admins
tratiOu is assured bV decisive
margin, a check last night by the

These changed conditions are coming about to a great extent due to the presidents dogged persistence 10 balance the budget and restore purchasing power. There is defl- mite evidence that the presidents s program is we'll on its way toward its goal. It behooves all American business to support his program.

 others of the thousands that have been requested will be issued in the next few days, according to Frank s. Bergln, chairman of the commission. However, many who have requested permits will not be able to make sales tomorrow be- cause of lack of permits. ..
 The commission, in preparing for to-morrow's rush of sales, has at tempted to spread the issuance of permits so that all sections Of the state will be cared for.
 Package stores, because of the opening and closing hours of the new law, will be the first permit ted to makes sales. At 10 o'clock, an hour after the stores are opened for beer trade sales may be made by hotels and cafes and taverns.

 Thousands of gallons of Connec- ticut made beer were ready for the trade, and. additional supplies were on hand from the preWerieS in New York, shipped in and held in warehouses to await the lifting of the ban.
 Indications were the price would vary in the different towns. Re- ports here were that bottled beer would go at 15 cents for a 12 ounce bottle or 10 cents a glass in the taverns. Outside brands would sell at even higher prices, it was stated. In New Haven, however, brewers said that while the price had not been determined, 1t prob ably would not be in excess of s2.50 for a case of 25 pints.
 Thus beer will return to Connec- ticut, one of the five states which never ratified the 18th amendment, Sale will be allowed in all towns, regardless of local option laws which may have been in effect in 1919. Towns, however, may decide if they wish to go dry when they hold their annual town cleo tions in the fall.

 Senator Huey Long stepped out with a wide. swing at President Roosevelt on the very first day of the new congress. when the em- |gency banking bill was forced through. It was a sensation until the next editions appeared. Senator Carter Glass thundered that the administration had broken faith by urging the imitation bill.
 This atatck was buried under a blanket of White House silence aided by news of J. P. Morgan's en-
 dorsement of the administrations abandonment of the gold standard. When the Scottsboro marchers
 trudged up New York avenue with
 their defiant banners yesterday heading for the White House, many
 recalled the frantic haste with which all gates were locked and forbidden zones thrown around the White House area while police clubbed off bonus marchers last fall. Yesterday spokesmen were
 ushered into the office of the chief secretary, Col Louis Howe, who lis-
 tened to all they had to say and
 took their petition.
 Bonus marcherS year ago were
 refused any recognition at the

 Anticipating another march, Col
 Howe already has been in confer

 An inkling of the probable de- fense was gained from CyriPs state ment that he sought, throughout his work as contact man between his brother and the McMath's. only to effect the safe return of the child. Kenneth'sI assertion that others were involved was taken to indicate that he intended to place much of the blame upon the mys- terious confederate and to point out that the child had not been mistreated and had not feared him.
 Peggy said she trusted the kid napers because he told her he was trying to prevent her abduction by a professional gang of kidnapers.
