WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Presi-

financial leaders, mapped out
program for credit expansion last
night in a lengthy White House
conference that centered on the
release of funds in closed banks.
1t was emphasized that both the
President and conferees planned no
new moves other than reinforcing
the Naticn's credit structure.
Nc Currency Initiation
This is accepted generally and
definitely as eliminating at this
time any initiation of currency and
means the Government is going to
use every power to put into circu-
lation money now lying idle in
bank tills and funds locked up in
closed banks.
William H. Woodin, Secretary Of
Treasury, and Henry A. Wallace,
Secretary of Agriculture, headed
the group which met for almost
three hours with the President.
Millions CT dollars in deposits
are estimated to be locked up in
closed banks.

During a recent visit here after

ments relative to the route of the
migration of salmon from the ocean
into Bristol Bay areas.

Dear Father Hubbard:
THE following extract appeared

pect that in the lifetime of

Grating on the lower Pacific
Ocean side of the Alaska Pen

of the huge runs of fish that
migrate in the waters around
Shumagin Islands and False

ton exists. 1t seems very pos
sible, however, that the fish
that are not caught there go
along the great shoal north OF

ials that Prohibition repeal is i'm
minent, plans have been made to
review thousands of liquor cases
pending in the Federal Courts to
determine which will be brought to
trial.
Officials said disposition of many
cases will probably be determined
on the basis as to whether the
defendants should be prosecuted as
violators of the Prohibition or the
Revenue laws.
Costs of prosecution and serious
ness of the offenses will also be
regarded and likely to play an i'm
portant part in the decision.

TWO SUBJECTS
Get attention
OF ECONOMISTS
Reorganization Of MIRA as
Permanent Unit Also
Being Considered

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Lag
ging credit and farm prices have
turned eyes of Federal economists
to close watching of developing
plans of the President, who is
prodding purchasing power into a
stride with the rising industrial
costs.
Credit problems and labor trou-
bles coupled with labor disputes
and reorganization of MIRA into
a permanent working unit claim
close attention of the Recovery
Administration officials.
Appeal To Labor
Strikes in various parts of the
country brought from Senator
Wagner of New York, chairman
of the National Labor Board an
appeal to Labor to resort to such
stringent means only as last re-
sort.
Meanwhile the Recovery ADJ
ministration continued hearings of
newspaper publishers on the code.
Credit Plans
In analyzing credit plans, some
of the Federal economists said they
expected a flexible and immediate
curb on the spread between liv-
ing costs and the buying power
to develop from the present pro-
gram of President Roosevelt. Re
lease of millions of dollars in bank
deposits is considered by them
as potentially one of the biggest
contributions toward increasing the
purchasing power.

DR.. SUzzALLO
IS STRICKEN,
HEART ATTACK
Former President of Wash
ington University,
Dies in Seattle

! SEATTLE, Sept. 25.-Dr. Henry
Suzzallo, aged So years, interna-
tionally known educator, died in
a hospital here as the result OF a
heart attack. He was a former
President of the University OF
Washington, but since 1926 has
been with the Carnegie Founda-
ton.
DR.. Suzzallo had been in the
hospital for week and his death
was not expected. His illness in
terrupted a tour of the Carnegie
Foundation advancement of Teach
ing. He was taken to the hos
pital on account of what was con-
sidered a slight ailment, but COM
plications followed. He was re-
moved as University President by
the Board of Regents appointed
by Gov. r. H. Hartley who accused
the educator of mixing education
and politics.
Progressive Campaign
The efforts of DR.. Henry Suz-
zallo to make the University OF
Washington a bigger and better in
stitution resulted in his dismissal
from the presidency in 1926.
When he became president in
1915, the University had an en-
rollment of 1000, but attracted lit
tie attention outside the State of
washington. Suzzallo immediate
ly inaugurated a progressive pro-
gram of development which even
tually placed Washington among
the leading universities of the
country. It's enrolment had in
creased to 1000 at the time he
left the presidency.
In 1926, the biennial program of
the University officials providing
for continued development was OPP
posed by the State Administration.
During the controversy that en-
sued, DR.. Suzzallo was dismissed.
In ousting him, however, the Board
of Regents, which was appointed
by the Governor, lauded his work
as an educator and gave him due
credit for developing the Univer-
sity.
Ability Recognized
Shortly after that DR.. Suzzallo
was named chairman of the Board
of Trustees of the Carnegie Foun-
dalton for the Advancement OF
Teaching, of which he had been
member since 1919. Before en-
tsring upon that work he took
long vacation and then accepted
an assignment as emissary for the

tional Peace.

HIS NEW AMBITION

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Having
flown over the South Pole in 1929,
Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn
Byrd nov mas the ambition to
land on top of it.
For this reason he is taking an
autogyro on his second expedition
into the Antarctic regions. Its
peculiar construction enables it to
make more or less vertical land
ing, whereas no orthodox airplane
could be swooped down upon the
icy roughness of the Polar area.
But figuratively speaking, drop
ping out of the air on to the point
of the pole is only an incidental
design of this most ambitious Ant
arctic invasion. Byrd's scientific
program is so elaborate that it
probably has not been approached
by any other expedition planners.
30 Scientists Plan Program
More than 80 well-known scien-
fists have labored long and ardu-
ously preparing program OF all
possible fields of investigation in
the frozen south. They are to be
recognized as the admirals "hon-
orary scientific staff"
At least nine men of science will
go to the bottom of the earth
with Byrd
1t is the purpose of science to
take from the realm of specula-
ton the largest portion of the
earth left to our imagining and
reduce it to the commonplace of
something exactly known, travelled
and mapped
Very probably Byrd will outline
the boundaries of continent as
large as the United States and
Mexico combined; perhaps two
continents.
