CluGu upOA OuNOdy ny IicSiucHe Roosevelt in furtherance of a plan to extend his pricelifting, gold-control to a world basis. In going into international markets, the Presi- dents intentions are to assure the States greater control over the none tary situation, to stimulate commod- ity prices, and to bring nearer his goal of managed currency. While de- tails of his purchase plan have been worked out, they are kept secret.
 With foreign quotations surging upward in response to the Presidents decision to invade world gold markets, the Roosevelt administration today pushed he domestic price of newly mined gold to new high for the present movement.
 The United Stttes Treasury's quo tation today was $31.96 an ounce, which is 15 cents higher than the Treasury's price Saturday.
 The price of gold on the London market advanced today 37 cents an ounce, bringing the London price to l$31.49; which is 47 cents below the United States Treasury's quotation.
 NEW YORK.-Wall Streets rean- ctio to President Roosevelt's plan to buy gold abroad is not definitely man. ifesed yet, but a majority of the opin- ion is to the effect that the new move is an unavoidable step in the mone- tary policy on which he has embarked. WASHINGTON.- - Discussions as as to payments on Britain's war debt to the United States will continue an- other week, if not longer, the United States Treasury Departmen and the British embassy in Washington an- nounced today.
 The announcement was occasionad by reportsments that the conversa- tions had come to standstill. NEW YGRK-Fiorello H. La Guar dia, Fusionis Republican, yesterday yesterday swept into office on the turbulent political tide as mayor of American metropolis by lead of more than 25O,OOO votes over his clos est opponent, Joseph V. Mckee, In- dependent Democrat.
 John P. O'Brien, veteran politician, and Tammany candidate, was showed under by an avalanche of votes, and finished in third place, a decsive de feat, and a victory for La Guardia, who was avowedly out to. skin the Tiger.
 Outstanding among the reforms promised by La Guardia is the aboli- tion of county governments within the corporate limits of the city of New York, claiming one government suffi- cient for the millions residing in Greater New York.
 PARIS.-France intends to default on the installmentl payment due De- cember 15 on her war debt to the United States.
 This decision has. been reached by the cabinet organized last week with Senator Albert Sarrauth as minister, according to information emerging from official circles today.
 WASHINGTON-Increase is urged for Public Works Fund, the amount of which was originally fixed at about $3.OOO, ,OOO,0 ,0OO. The fund should be raised to $5,OOO, 900 ,OO0, according to some officials, among whom is Secre- tary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes.

PAY RAISE FIGHT
TOST|RHOUSE

Opposition to the Budget Bu-
erau's proposals designed to pro-
hibit salary increases for District
employees promoted to higher po-
sitions will be concentrated in
the House, it was learned today.
Federal employees fear that any
such provision adopted for the
District government would be
followed Immediately by a pro-
vision in the Independent Offices
bill which would make the same
thing generally applicable through
out the Federal service.
The present District govern
ment has always opposed such
measures and is counted upon to
oppose the present plan. The pro-
vision must be knocked out Of the
bill in the House, it is believed,
or it cannot be defeated at all.
Not only has the Budget Bu-
reau recommended against salary
increases where employees are pro-
NOTED, but it seeks to make that
arrangement retroactive, to the
extent that employees who have
received promotions during the
present fiscal year, will have to
give up the salary increases they
have received.

F|VE-DAY WEEK,

The Government Priting Office
and the Navy Yard will follow
the lead of the Department of
Labor in abolishing the five-day
week, according to announce
ment from the Public Printer and
the Navy Department.
The changes are made in order
to prevent a double cut in pay
for employees Of those Federal
units. All workers are subject to
a is per cent reduction, and if
the five-day week had been re-
tanned they would have had to
take that in addition to prior
reduction of one-eleventh, it was
stated.
George H. Carter. Public
Printer, said his plan to restore
the former working week awaited
only the approval of the Comp
troller General. The same policy
will prevail so far as the Navy
Department is concerned.

Letter Carriers Demand Law
Forcing Reduction in
. Rents in Capital

A drive on interest rates, as
we'll as upon rents, is being urged
on the American Federation Of
Federal Employees by Leo p.
George, president of the National
Federation of Postoffice Clerks,
who is among those cooperating
in the high-rent protest meeting
arranged by the federation for TO-
morrow night at Mckinley High
School, Second and T Streets
Northeast.
Mr.. George points out that in
terest rates on mortgages are as
high as in peak times, and that
those workers who have tried to
become home owners are in as
serious a condition now, in view
of the oncoming salary cut, as
those who are renting apartments.
He said:
"The cry has been for Gov
ernment employees to make their
sacrifice in the present situa-
ton. Why not a prOpOrtiOnate
sacrifice ON the part Of the
money lenderS?"
Calls Rents ExOrbitant
M. T. Finnan, secretary Of the
National Association of Letter
Carriers, has informed the Spon-
sors of the meeting that his or
ganization considers Washington
rentals exorbitant, and that if
property owners will not reduce
rentals, legislation should be
enacted to force reductions.
An additional speaker an
nounced today is Representative
Virginia Jenckes of Indiana whose
subject will be "the District Of
Columbia as Home" Represen
tative Jenckes is a member of the

CASES SETTLED
 OUT OF COURT
Good Work Past Year By the Woman Probation
 Officer
MANY DELINQUENTS

During the past year the cases of 205 boys and 150 girls charged with delinquency came under the official attention of Mrs Irene Piercey, woman probation officer. Only 91 cases eventually found their way into court. Twenty of the boy offenders were committed to the Connecticut Schol flor Boys, four girls sent ito the Long Lane School for Girls and six young women were committed to the state farm for women at Mantle.
 Efforts are made claims Mrs Piercey to adjust cases without bringing the youngsters into court.
 No mention was made in the re- port of the probation officer con- corning change of quarters, but ef- forts are to be made again to have the probation officers office locat- ed in another section of tho municipal building than adjoining the detective quarters. It would eliminate the necessity of youngs- ters trooping into the police station and lettering about the corridors and seeing prisoners hustled into and out of court. Police authorities have always questioned the wisdom of having the youngsters called upon to walk through police head quarters on their way to report in once 0 week to the probation of ficer.
