Chief Executive to Try His

Off Montauk Point

AUX, N. Y, Sept. /
G.N.SO-President Franklin D.
Roosevelt settled down to a fish.
ing holiday over the weekend to-
day before returning to his re-
sponsibilities at the Capital.
The presidential party anchored
in Fort Bond Bay, 500 yards off
shore.
The President planned to spend
most of today fishing for Tuna.
Rain During Night
Two Coast Guard destroyers
guarded the President from the
fleet of yachts, motor and sailing
craft, which lowered about Vim
cent Astor's yacht, the Nourma-
hal, bearing the distinguished
fisherman.
There was rainfall during the
night which fishermen said might
lessen the heavy run of tuna.
Before leaving Hyde Park the
President was assured that a code
for the coal industry would prob
ably be ready for his signature
on arrival in Washington.
Talks to Johnson
He conversed over the telephone
with Gen. Hugh Johnson, his
chief of staff in the recovery
drive, and was assured favorable
progress was being made on the
coal code.
Nothing was known to have
been said about the automobile
code, in which the executive has
manifested keen interest in the
past few days.
Accompanying the President on
his cruise are Kermit Roosevelt,
Chief Justice Frederic Kerno-
chan, of the court of special
sessions; and a group of New
York friends rot connected with
the Federal Government.

PRICE Of GOLD
At NEW HIGH

LONDON, Sept. / QN.S0.-The
price of gold hit an all-time new
high on the London Exchange to-
day, advancing to 130 shillings
and 8h pence per ounce.
This was u pence above the
previous high, registered Novem-
ber 80, 1882.
The figure was one shilling 11a
pence above yesterdays quotation,
and climaxed a sensational ad-
vance during the last week which
brought the price up nearly 10 full
shillings.
The gold price, which is in
terms of paper sterling, has been
influenced by the rise in the franc
on tourist demand and by the buy
ing of French treasury bills.
The gold advance also was due
to the fact much gold is being
bought for boarding on the con-
tinent.

ming of his earlier misadventure
he was in a boisterous mood,
romping about the Moulin Rouge,
a lake resort, and Snatching de-

the tables Of other guests.

Much later, the party over and
his appetite for fish sated, LouiSi-

INITIATION VIEW
PUZZLES

A spirited debate developed to-
day over Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace's attitude toward cur
rency initiation.
His position on this contro.
versial subject, as outlined in a
radio address over a broadcaSting
chain, was interpreted variously
as pro-inflationary, anti-inflation'
ary, and "a straddle."
Ardent inflationists pointed out
that the Secretary declared:
Farm folks are familiar with
my views on the monetary queS-
tiOn as expressed prior to last
March,"
These views, it was asserted.
struck militant note in favor Of
currency expansion.
The "big currency" bloc also
extracted comfort from the Sec
retary's assertion that:
"Our problem, both inside
the United States and in our
relationship to foreign nations,
is one Of balance. The PreSi-
dent has recognized that it will
help to attain q more perma-
nent state of balance if we can
adjust our monetary system so
that we can pay off debts with
money of the same purchasing
power that obtained at the time
the debts were contracted"
This language was interpreted
as an Endorsement of initiation to
bring back the 1924-26 level Of
commodity prices.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. l
U.N.SO.-Senator Huey Longs
epicurean tastes have lured his

In New York his gastronomic
weakness cost him a sock in

him in Jail.
In the sensational episode

~l Never Knew How Many
Tears ! Had in Me-" Wrote
Broker to Actress

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1 UN.S0.
Ardent love letters her handsome
husband, Alfred C. Read, jr.,
broker, wrote to beautiful Claire
Windsor, film star, had Mrs.
Marian Read, the Oakland (Cal0
socialite, on the verge Of a break
down today.
The letters were read in court,
where Mrs. Reads 100000 suit
against Miss windsor for alleged
theft of Reads love is being tried.
Miss Windsor's defense against
the charges is that when she met
Read under romantic circum-
stances on an eastbound train he
led her to believe that he was un-
married. Later, when she learned
he was a married man and had
two children, he declared he was
separated from his wife and in
tended to obtain a divorce, the
actress testified.
Mrs. Read listened calmly as
numerous letters Miss Windsor
wrote Read, and Read wrote Miss
Windsor, were read. The letters
contained endearing promises of
eternal love, happiness, and pledges
Of everlasting faithfulness, and
were filled with "Sweethearts,
darlingS, lovers, dearests."
Breaks Out In Sobs
Finally, a passage in which
Read expressed solicitude for one
Of Miss Windsor's trim ankles,
caused Mrs. Read to convulse in
sobs.
A sentence in one of Miss
W1ndsor's letter to the broker
read:

shout to the world when it's
really going to happen"
Mrs. Reads attorney asked:

Writing to Read three days
