LAUDs ROOSEVELT STAND.
Senator Connally Says President Was
Right In Conference Policy.

hXnt m CO01eIence FOucy.
By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt was right in re-
fusing efforts Of the gold bloc at the
london conference to stabilize cur
renoy before settling other issues be-
fore the conference, Senator Connally
Of Texas said in q formal statement
yesterday.
The domestic emergency program
would have been seriously hampered"
had America yielded to the demands
Of the gold nations" for immediate
sterilization of the dollar, Connally
said.
President Roosevelt, by his aggres-
sive action, blocked their program" he
added Our domestic situation is Of
more importance just now than what
may happen in London.
The gold content Of the dollar has
already been reduced. It's beneficial re-
suits are reflected in rising prices, in
restored confidence, in quickened busi-
ness and industry, and in a general
improvement in all lines throughout
the United States"
Declaring the American dollar was
now below 10 cents, measured in gold,
Connally said ultimately the dollar
would be stabilized on gold basis but
when that happens 1t will be with a
reduced gold content or a smaller num-
Der of grains than the former standard
dollar.
Connally credited the infiationary
legislation and policies Of the Roosevelt
administration as being chiefly re-
sponsible for the rise in commodity
prices"

HAS NO INSTRUCTIONS.
Steinhardt Reaches Europe, but Denies
He Has Roosevelt Message.

PLYMOUTH, England, July IL (P).
Lawrence A. Steinhardt, United
States Minister to Sweden, arrived on
the liner lie de France today and
described as inaccurate statements that
he was carrying new instructions from
President Roosevelt to the American
delegation at the World Economic Con-
ference
Il was not given any instructions
for our delegation" he said.
II shall meet the members Of our
delegation" he added, but my visit
is not at all of the character news
papers imply.
Il think 1t is grossly unfair and in
accurate to say President Roosevelt
wrecked the conference.
1T has been lost sight Of that the
conference agenda contains many i'm
portant subjects besides Sterilization
and to say the success or failure of the
conference depends on Sterilization is
hardly justified.
THE raising Of price levels is, for
instance, q very important considers
ton In the world today, and how can
you have stabilixation until you have
. permanent price level?"N

day as United States Ambassador after
q decade in the diplomatic service.

WILL SEND PLANES TO MATTERN.

CHICAGO, July IL [P)-A plan to
send two rescue planes to Siberia 90
James Mattern could complete solo his
flight around the world was announced
today by hackers of his venture
S. j. Sackett, one Of the sponsors,
said he had been informed a Pan
American Always plane was ready at
Fairbanks, Alaska, to take off for Ana
dyr, Siberia, where Mattern is stranded.
Another speedy ship also was waiting
in Alaska. 1t was part Of the rescue
expedition sent from New York and
headed by William Alexander. Sackett
said that if both ships were sent, Mat
tern would fly one Of them alone to
Alaska and then continue on to New
York.
Word to send the two planes on their
way was being withheld because of I'M
certainty over whether a Soviet plane
would be supplied Mattern. If nego-
tiations in that direction were COM
pleted, it was believed only one of the
American planes would be sent.
H. B. Jameson, another of the hackers
planned to leave today by air from New
York City to keep in touch with rescue
plans from there.

1t would have been good news to the
larger bankers who gathered here re-
Gently without benefit of publicity. They
were talking over methods of meeting
the Glass law. They consider its de-
post guarantee section inimical to their
interests. They will never rest easy
until they have forced repeal of that
section.

The way President Roosevelt has dis
regarded criticism of some Of his
friends to stand silently by them, has
marked him among politicians here as
one who plays the game according to
the unwritten rules.
They point to his utter disregard Of
the criticism against Senator Huey
Long, Internal Revenue Commissioner
Guy Helvering, Labor Secretary Per-
kins and now Norman Davis. Strong
editorial attacks also have been directed
against Treasury Secretary Woodin and
State Secretary Hull. The White House

From q 43-year-old nurse, who police
said admitted trailing" Francis Joseph
Morgan Grace, sr, 81, retired capitalist,
until she killed him, authorities here
today sought a motive for the Staying.
The nurse, Miss Frida Wilhelmina
Augusta Weltz, accused Of shooting
Grace In the garden Of his Summer
home Saturday night, refused to give a
reason for the Staying. District Attor-
ney Frank Murphy said.
Murphy said Miss Weltz. who was
discharged by Grace as his nurse ID
months ago, admitted she had planned
to kill him since that time.
II had good and sufficient reasons to
kill him." the district attorney quoted
her, "but I wouldn't tell the reasons to
my most intimate friend"
Miss Weltz asserted. Murphy said,
added the real reason would probably
seem trivial to you.
Grace was a nephew of the late w.
r. Grace, founder of the exporting and
importing concern and shipping line.
Miss Helene Roberts, %, his present
nurse, who was sitting in the garden
with him, told police Miss Weltz en-
tered the grounds and, after q brief
conversation, drew a pistol and shot
Grace.
Miss Weltz was registered with the
San Francisco County Nurses Associ-
alton as q graduate of the Nursing
School Of the Kensington Hospital for
Women in Philadelphia. The registra-
ton gave the address Of her mother,
