TONERS following his acceptance of an

Keen and witty as ever despite his

saying: MY mind is like q judges

Occasional penetrating replies were
reminiscent Of the Darrow who scin-
tillated in the Scopes trial, the trial
of Loeb and Leopold, the Mcnamara
case and many others.
Two or three thousand complaints,
he said, were before the board set up
to look into charges that N. r. A.

OF small business men or were pro-
noting monopolies.

A dole, in his opinion, would be

TREASURY TO ASK
S46Q,099,ODO LOAN
Morgenthau Says March IS
Financing to Be Limited
to Maturing Bonds.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Treasury decision to confine Its
March Is financing to the exact
amount Of an issue maturing on that
date fell today as surprise to market
experts.
Many had expected a large scale
borrowing. Secretary Morgenthau
announced, however, that the new
issue of $3.50 0,099, 900 in four year, 3
per cent notes would be offered In
exchange to holders Of securities
maturing March Is.
The Treasury cash balance now
stands at s4,874 100000, and one ex-
PLANTATION offered unof1icially for the
new decision was that the admins
tration might have revised downward
its contemplated recovery expendi-
lures.
Explanations Put Forth.
President Roosevelt spoke in his
budget message Of expenditures OF
sll 900, 100000 before June 80, but to
date less than half that amount has
been spent.
There were several explanations OF
the Treasury decision put forward by
those who have followed the situation.
One Of these was that the Govern
ment wished to refrain from another
trip to the money market until after
Spring industrial activity is further
along.
Treasury spending since the first Of
the year now is more than S5,000.-
100000 less than the Sll,000000 900
figure forecast by the President. This
big gap had supported the belief the
Treasury would use its March financ-
ing operations to increase its cash
balance.
Sinking Fund Necessary.

cation program and to report on their

be opened at once in thickly populated
districts.
