Morgenthau Promises Full
Support to Program
of Roosevelt.
BIZ United Press

DU 1 HtitU ITeSS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Crit-
icised at home and threatened with
retaliation abroad, the adminiStra-
ton pushed it's managed currency
program into the most critical phase
today. Henry Morgenthau Jr., re-
placed Secretary William H. Woodin
and Undersecretary Dean Acheson
in control of the treasury depart
ment.
Mr.. Woodin was given a complete
leave Of absence to recover his
health, and Mr.. AcheSon resigned,
as the dollar, and government
bonds, dropped yesterday.
Simultaneous with announcement
of possible alliance between Frrnce
and Great Britain to combat the
cheapened dollar, Mr.. Morgenths1
was sworn in last night as under
secretary. He became chief of the
treasury because of Mr.. Woodin' S
absence.
In selecting Morgenthau, Presi-
dent Roosevelt placed in charge a
man who sees eye to eye with him
on his plan for dollar which will
be adjusted in value to give it a
constant purchasing power in terms
of a fixed index of commodity
prices.
Advocates of currency imitation
were cheered by the turn Of events.

Since members of the gang were
not allowed to have razors, fowler
attended to all their tonSorial needs
and it was through this connection
he was able, it was announced, to
learn of the dynamiting plan.
Several of the Jones suspects
came to him and "propositioned''
him to receive struggled packages
through the basement window of
the barber shop, fowler told John
Boyce, chief jailer, who largely was
instrumental in discovering the
plans to break JAIL
fowler refused, he told Boyce
and was tipped off" by the Jones
suspects:
you're good guy, anyway, so
stay away from the west end of the
Jail because when they come for
us, that gunner's cage is going to
be dynamited."
Boyce said an attempt is being
made to get a detailed statement
from fowler in Atlanta peniten-
tiary.
John Dean was arrested late
yesterday afternoon when he called
at the jail to visit his brother.
After questioning by Boyce, John
Dean was turned over to city de-
tectives, and is held for further in
vestigation today.
A woman, whose name was with
held by deputy sheriffs, and a
trusty, John Gordon, aided in
smuggling the weapons into the
Jail, it is said.
According to authorities, a state
ment was obtained from the wom-
an, a relative of one of the men
held in the Staying, confessing her
part in the affair.
The woman declared she was ap-
preached by John Dean last

Dollar Still Skidding

By United Press
LONDON, Nov. f6-Uncertainty
over President Roosevelt's monetary
policies and the retirement of Treas
ury Secretary William H. Woodin
sent the dollar plunging downward
again in the foreign exchange mar
ket today.
The pound opened at s5.4612, up
7 cents from last nights closing.
Mr.. Woodin's decision to take a
long leave of absence was regarded
as partly responsible. He was known
as a hard money" man.
The pound opened yesterday at
$780, and gained 8 cents on the
days trading TO close at $685.. All
prices were record postwar lows for
the dollar.

CITY STILL IN
GRIP OF COLD
Temperatures 20 Degrees
Below Normal, Says
Arlington.
Hourly Temperatures

Cold wave which has held Indian
apolis in its grip the last thirty-Six
hours continued its reign today, with
a slight moderation.
Temperature at today was II
degrees, five degrees warmer than
yesterdays 121, which was just one
tenth degree warmer than the all
time low record for the day.
Today's early morning tempera-
lures we're about 20 degrees below
normal, for the season, according to
j. H. Arlington, local meteorologist.
The cold weather was expected to
continue today, moderating slowly
tomorrow, with the lowest tonight
expected to be about 20 degrees.
With all neighboring states in the
grip of even colder weather, there
is little immediate hope of real re-
lief from the cold, Mr. Arlington
said. Mercury readings far below
normal were reported today by
every state from the plains to the
Atlantic.

Steamers Swept Ashore

81 mica Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 16-Relief was
promised today from chilling Arc
tic blasts that sent temperatures
around the zero mark in the most
severe early winter storm in the
midwest in recent years.
A binding Snowstorm and
forty-mile -an-hour gale swept the
Great Lakes, endangering small
craft and driving two lake steamers
ashore The steamer D. E. Gal
lender, with a crew of twentyfour,
was beached near Long Point, Ont
in Lake Erie.
The Norwegian steamer Flaks
with a crew of twelve, bound for
South Haven with cargo of wood
pulp from Oslo, Norway, was
grounded in the gale. Coast guard
crews reached the vessel but said
abatement of the storm would be
awaited before attempting to free
the ship.
The canal barge Schuyler, which
went aground near Menominee.
Mich, was abandoned when heavy
waves began to pound it to pieces.
The freighter J. F. Schoellkopf,
which went aground near the same
point, was freed.
Snow covered most of six states
to depth ranging to eighteen
inches at MuSkegon. Mich. Temper
atures ranged from below zero at
Duluth. Mimi, to 10 above in Chi
cago and Detroit. At Sioux Lookout.
Ont. low temperature of 18 de-
greeS below zero was recorded.
In Chicago and in Milwaukee,
where 7 degrees above was recorded,
new records for this early in the
season were established At Evan
ston, H.. few miles north of Chi
cago, the temperature reached 3 de-
grees above.
The storm, which swept down out
of Canada Sunday on seventy
mile-anhour gale, extended from
the Dakotas almost to the Atlantic
coast and as far south at Kansas,
Missouri and Kentucky. s.

from Chicago, upset the police plans
by driving east on Irving Park
boulevard instead of south, as the
police had anticipated from the
position of his car.
Press dispatches failed to state
why the police failed to guard the
section to the east and west and
why they did not surround the ply
sician's office and go in after Dill
niger instead of allowing him to
make a getaway outside.
State Police in Chase
AS Dillinger started his car east,
the nearest of the police squads,
that of Sergeants Eugene Ryan and
John Jenkins of the Indiana state
police, pursued and poured a volley
of shots at the car. The bullets
had no effect on the bullet-proof
glass of Dillinger's car.
When a shot from the Dillinger
car struck the windshield of the
police car, the state policemen are
reported to have given up the chase
and allowed Dillinger and the girl
to escape south in Elston avenue.
When positive information was
received at Chicago detective bureau
last night that Dillinger would be
at the office of the doctor at p. n,
Sergeant Howard Harder was sta
toned at Keeler avenue Just north
of Irving Park boulevard.
Signal Alarms Fugitive
Sergeant Andrew Carroll was
placed half a block south in Keeler
avenue while Sergeant Walter
Bailey was stationed across the
street from the doctors Office.
The Indiana state police were
parked few yards south of Dill
inger's car.
The signal for police to seize Dill
niger was the flashing of a spotlight
from the state police car. The sig
nal was given. 1t apparently
alarmed Dillinger, who threw his car
into reverse, backed around quickly
and roared east, escaping his pur-
Suers, who we're taken completely by
surprise.

Managed Currency Drive
Enters Crucial Phase

They have regarded both Mr.
Woodin and Mr.. Acheson as OPP

Morgenthau has openly favored

into circulation will do more than

times, and opposes silver coinage at

Elaborate Plot Fails

Captain Matt Leach OF the In

the plan to capture Dililnger had
been brewing for more than a
month. More than three weeks ago
Captain Leach said that he hoped
to have one of the terror mob" in

admitted that the prediction was
based on the trap, which failed last
night.
Three squads from the Chicago

Police believed the car, an Essex
sedan, had been stolen by Dillinger
and his two companions, one a
woman. The license plates had been
removed.
Authorities were uncert in
whether the desperate had taken to
a hideout in Chicago or had stolen
another automobile to make good his
daring escape. On the possibility
that he and other members of his
gang may be in hiding here, an
elaborate hunt was begun.
