the blnckmail charges to which she pleaded guilty here arose from her
 attempts to secure money from two tobacco store proprietors to whom Hodges had delivered some of his stolen goods.

 police of the blackmniI attempts on the part of Rita.

 concentrations. agreeing with At- torney Weisinnn that this was not
 il common blnekmhii charge where death was threatened unless large
 sums of money were left at de- signnted places.
 | Attorney Weismnn made h
 strong plea for ieniency in review ing the meeting and association of his client with Hodges. He said she | was led t0 believe by Hodges that he was not married. He said she | first met Hodges while he WIS | bus driver when sbc used to get on his machine in the outskirts of | the city where she lived. The hc- qunintnnce ripened and upon his

STARTS IN FREIGHT CAR
Imitation Problem Will Give Congress
 Another Struggle
President Roosevelt Will Get One of the Most Bitter Tests of His Strength When He Tries to Check Senator Boraf and Others Who Favor Problem

in the senate for some form of inc fIation, orders from administration leaders would be expected to hold this in check.
 In preparation for heading off extreme inflationary proposals, the house democrats are to caucus to- morrow to change the house rules so that C majority of 21S members instead of the present 13b will be required to bring q bill forcibly from committee to the floor. ono purpose of this move is to give administration house leaders weapon to suppress undesired in- flationary proposals. It is under stood that two of the house infla- tionist leaders, Rankin of Missis- sippi and Pntman of Texas, are preparing to oppose tho change of rules.
 President Roosevelt is represent ed as being against printing press" money but favoring controlled ex- panion by issuance of bonds for public works.
 This, in the opinion of many members, does not go far enough to raise prices and stimulate pur- chasing power. Some business men like Senator Couzens, repn, Mich, feel that additional currency must be provided.
 Advocates of q bond issue say that 1t could be used to build bridges, hospitals. sewerage sys- tems. and replace slums. Others say this will help but will not go far enough. They point to tho fact that the debt structure of the na- tion was built up on the basis of national earning power of about $s5. .00 00, ,000 900 fl year. That was in 1929 and individuals, corpora tons real estate farms and dwell- ings were loaded with ns heavy debt ns could Dc carried at boom peak levels.
 Now tho national income is less than half of the 1929 figure. Even assuming q speeding up of business activity, the present level of prices would not produce the earnings to support the boom time debt struc- ture. Therefore. most economists believe that citherswhoiesale rcpu- diation of those debts or raising of the price levels 10 something ap- preaching that on which the debts were based. must be resorted to.
 Sentiment strongly favors raia- ing tho price level by imitation. But the mechanics of it nre causing pcrplcxity. One sOurce of anxiety is the danger that wages and anl- aries would not follow rising prices closely. There are some 13.0O0.- 900 unemployed. With that many men standing around waiting for jobA. few except that wages would shoot up just because prices were rising Only hs unemployment dWindlcd 10 low levels would the labor market tend to rise sharply.
