TRIANGLE To AID
POVERTY CHILD

NEWARK, N. j., July 6 GIN.
S).-Love for their 4-year-old
son today led Raymond Parks, 26,
and his wife, Lillian, to a police
court and possible Jail sentence
and the probability that they
would lose the boy for whom
they gave up each other.
Raymond, jr.. needed both food
and medical aid his jobless father
could not provide. So Park de-
cided there was "only way out. "
He told his wife:
you're young and pretty.
It's tough to think Of, but why
not go to some other man-One
who's got money and wants
yOu-and be a sort Of adopted
wife? He'd take care Of the
baby, too"
Mrs. Parks rebelled at first.
But the child became worse. So a
few days later she moved with
her son into the apartment Of
Frank Coffey. a former admirer.
Husband Barred
Coffey knew the Parks had
agreed on the move. But he
stipulated Parks should have no
more contact with his wife.
Then Parks got a job. He be-
gan to visit his wife secretly, CIV
ing her part of his So weekly
wages to buy little luxuries for
their son.
One day when he came, Lillian
had present. new suit. Parks
refused it, claiming Raymond, jr.,
needed things more. Coffey re-
turned home that night, found
the suit, and upbraided Mrs.
Parks for violating her agreement
to sever relations with her huS-
band.
Arrests Result
He went to police headquarters
and demanded her arrest on a
statutory charge.
Reminded that he was equally
guilty, he agreed to arrest on the
same charge. Then Parks was
arrested for violation of the child
welfare law.
Today all three were scheduled
to be sentenced by Judge Carl
Duveneck. Meanwhile welfare au-
. thorities sought a home for Ray
mond, jr., taken from his parents
because of their inability to sup
port him.

SURTAX is IMMEDIATE
PROJECT OF FRENCH

PARIS, July 6.-(UP).-lm-
mediate application of an ex,
change compromising surtax was
regarded yesterday as likely to
be Frances reply to the United
States monetary intransige-
ance." The surtax would prob
ably be a minimum of Is per
cent, similar to that of Great
Britain.
Application of a surtax was
foreshadowed by abrupt action
this morning in clamping a 20
per cent surtax on all imports
from Portugal and in placing on
a contingent basis all resinous
tar and pine extracts, affecting
non-gold standard nations such as
the United States, Spain and
England.
It was considered significant
that French newspaper CORE

were urging retaliation by
France, as exemplified by Jules

forth, it would be most prudent
to demand that all United States

GOLD BLOC NATIONS TO ACT

France Plans Surtax as National Reply to American
Position on Monetary Intransgeance"

PARIS, July G.-(UP).-Rep-
resentatives of the central banks
of the gold bloc nations-France,
Italy, Belgium, Holland, Switzer-
land and Poland-will meet at
the Bank of France Saturday to
establish a fund to protect the
gold standard.
The conference, it was SAID,
will be prefaced by a manifesto
by the six nations that they will
maintain the gold standard,
agreeing to act comparatively and
theoretically to defend it.
Clement Moret, governor OF
the Bank o. France, will preside
at the meeting. Moret is believ-
ed to be the author of the prof.
ject, which is deemed necessary in
view of the increasing flight OF
gold from Holland.

STILL PARTICIPATING

LONDON, July 6. (UP).-Ths
steering committee of the world
economic conference decided this
evening that the conference should
be continued.
The committee met for ten min
utes shortly after 6 p. M, and APP
proved a resolution by Neville
Chamberlain, British chancellor of
the exehequer, providing for car
rying on the work.
The resolution provided:
I. That all committees and SUBJ
committees shall meet and decide
what they might accomplish, then
report to the main economic and
monetary commissions;
2. That a plenary session of all
delegates be held before the end
of July;
3. That the steering committee
meet once each week.
Paul .Hymans, Belgium, told the
United Press that the "full con-
ference will continue. The gold
standard nations have agreed to
participate in all monetary ques-
tons"
President Roosevelt appeared
in the role of saviour of the world
economic conference last night in
broad appeal issued by the
American delegation for continual
ton Of its. work on general eco
nomic problems. The statement
blunty reiterated the presidents
contention that general economic
problems should not be cast aside
because of failure to agree at this
time on the single problem Of cur
rency sterilization.
Members of the gold bloc ma
tions-France, Italy. Switzerland,
Belgium and Poland-had met at
midnight, and voiced an opinion
through the French that they be-
lieved adjournment of the eco
nomic parley was almost certain,
despite President Roosevelts ef-
forts to keep IL alive.
The statement explained IN
some detail Mr.. Roosevelts atti-
tude of currency and reasons for
rejecting the gold bloc's program
for sterilization at this juncture.
The statement set forth the
delegations position as directed
from the White House, and en-
phasized these two points for ac-
ton:
1.-Restoration of prices to
level Eat which industry and above
all agriculture can function prof
itably and efficiently"
2.-Preservation of the stabll-
ity of this adjustment, once
achieved.
This second major point in the
Rooseveltian price-raising pro-
gram, from which the statement
asserted the American people
would not be diverted, was regard
ed in some quarters as an indica-
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt's willingness
to embrace stabilization. once his
plan has been realized.

TREND TOWARD
NATIONALIST
NOW INDICATED
Washington Incidents Show
Direction in Which u. S.
Is Headed
Bv HARRY FERGUSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. July 6. tUP).
Every scrap of evidence available
indicated last night that the UNI
ted States was preparing to with
draw to a strict policy of nation
alism and work out its own saliva
ton Independent Of the rest Of
the world. -.
President Roosevelt made it
plain yesterday that he did not
intend to sacrifice single phase
of his domestic program for the
sake of the welfare Of other ma
tions.
That came at q time when the
cables from London told of the
black gloom that surrounds the
world economic conference, whose
steering committee was said to
be preparing to adjourn the par
ley.
Outwardly, Mr.. Roosevelt was
optimistic about the fate of the
conference. Persons close to him
said he felt the difficulties con-
fronting the conference could be
overcome. But inside the velvet
glove there is an iron fist.
For, it was said, the United
States is not ready to consider
currency sterilization, and will
not be swayed by pressure from
the European gold bloc to enter
into anv such agreements. The
White Houses position is that If
it ultimately comes down to a
choice between currency StabIllza-
ton and the adjournment of the
world economic conference, the
conference will just have to adj
journ.
From another source signals
were flying that the United States
was rushing toward isolation. Act
ing Secretary of State Phillips an
nounced Americas withdrawal
from the international convention
for the abolition of import and
export prohibitions and restric-
tionS.
That is an organization estaD-
lished in 1927. It's purpose was
to whittle down-and abolish II
possible-the tariff fences that
nations erected in the frenzicd
post war financial maneuvers.
Seven countries joined originally.
Then Poland and Great Britain
withdrew.
The official reason given at the
state department for Americas
withdrawal was that other nations
by quitting the convention de-
tracted from it's effectiveness and
that, anyway, the world economic
conference was going to deal with
! tariffs.
Immediately a broader signifi-
canoe was read into the state de-
partment's action. Americas do
mestic policy. with the projected
shorter working hours and con-
troled production of the national
recovery act, may result in max
ing this nation as self-suffieient
