New York, Dec. 10.-(UP)- Highly favorable steel news and resumption of buying in gold and silver stocks steadied the stock market today after an early de- cline. Near the close the list was irregularly higher with the. silvers leading in gains.
 Trading was fairly active for a time but 1t heightened late in the day when the rise was unable to carry through in the speed gener- ated when the steel news was made public.
 Steel operations for the country were placed at 32.7 per cent of capacity by the American Iron and Steel institute. That figure is 3.9 points or 13.5 per cent above the 28.8 per cent reported a week ago and it represents the tighth con secutive rise.
 In addition to the sharp rise in operations, the United States Steel Corporation reported a rise of 22.- 157 tons in its shipments of finish. ed steel in November as compared with the preceding month in con. trast with a sharp decline in that month year ago.
 Publication of the favorable steel news in the early afternoon brought the entire. market higher under lead of steel shares. U. s. steel jumped nearly q point from its low and others followed only to recede again before the close.
 When the steels tired, the silverf were whipped into action. U. s. melting reached 12G 7-8 up 4 1-2 points, while American Smelling, Cerro de Pasco, and Howe Sound made corresponding gains: Gold miners also were in demand with the high-priced homestake up 1C points at 390. There were reports in Wall street that the silver group was planning new drive to remonetize silver when congress meets, while some of the invest ment trusts were said to be buyers in the golds as an imitation hedge.

Washington. Dec 10 - CUP -- The new deals smashing anti crime drive nearde climax to-day as President Roosevelt and 60G ex- pert advisers prepared an inte- grated program to exterminate the gangster. 2 X s4
 The president tonight formally will open the attorney generals s conference on crime which twill continue through Thursday. The conference is expected to provide the cornerstone of solid and con- tinuous campaign to end the multi billion dollar depredations of the country's bad men. n
 Governors, judges, attorneys, po- lice chiefs. sociologists, economists and new dealers met at the invita- ton of Attorney General Homer s. Cummings to consider means Of lowering the country's crime bill, which now totals about $12.000,- 0O0.000 annually. AZ
 The outlook was brighter than at any time since the word racket eer'' was coined in Chicago. about the time the 18th amendment be- came effective. =.
 Prohibition. which MT Roosevelt held responsible in large part for the gangster, of the Al Capone type, was memory. New federal laws, enabling the government bet ter to apprehend interstate, crim- inals are on the statute books. |.
 Practically all notorious public enemies either are. behind bars, or full swing. with nearly 800 dope y1add lare, b tha Aay,v, IVY arrested. The department of justice is marrying kidnapers as they never have been harried before.
 The treasury department is mak- ing life increasingly uncomfortable for post-prohibtion bootleggers. The income tax evaders, the crook ed stock brokers and the hot" oil distributors all are having serious troubles wit hthe federal govern ment.
 With these developments center, ing public attention on crime. the administration leaders feel the psy- chological moment has arrived for the conference. It will consider crime detection and prevention, po.: lice administration. the. courts. pa roles and methods for cooperation between federal, state, and other po- licing bodies.
 MT Roosevelt and Cummings have been careful to keep politics out of the meeting. Patrick J. Hu : ley, secretary of war under Pres ident Hoover. will call to-nights meeting to order. Henry L. Stir5. son. who was Hoover's secretary of state, is on the opening program with President Roosevelt and CuI,- mings. f@a

 Prices" he said, advance rapidly and sometimes far too rapidly when there is full employ ment of labor and an intense de- mand for capital and credit"
 Building Is Promising
 Dr Sprague said building of many types seemed to him the most promising field for such ex- pansion in demand in response to really material relative reductions in cost.
 'Very great and most desirable possibilities exist in the case Of housing for the mass of people, he continued, "for those, let us say, unable to pay more than a rent of $50 a month.
 The mass of people in the Unit ed States Is not well housed, and costs are high in spite of all of our technological improvements-hieh CT than they were 20 years ago Here are possibilities for higher standard of living, which have not been realized except for. those en- toying high incomes.
 Dr Sprague felt, however, sucn an undertaking should not be financed by federal funds.
 1T feel very doubtful about the outcome of large government ex- penditures in this field" he said ssbecause I consider it essential that constructive costs be reduced and I am very doubtful whether such reduction would take place if building on a large scale is under taken under government auspices am inclined to believe that gov ernment assistance, whether fed cal or local. might well be limited to slnin clearance projects"

NEW DEAL PLANS
 FOR BANK, MONEY
Credit Imitation Gets Sup= pOrt-DOllar Devalua=
 ton Unlikely
By LYLE C. WILSON -nyrioht. 1884. by United Press

Washington, Dec 10-(UP) Public and private expressions of administration opinion today pre- sented a reasonably accurate fore cast of what the new deal plans for bank and money.
 Dollar devaluation: informal dol lar stabilization exists now at 59.O6 cents. gold. There is no ln- tention further to devalue the dol lar immediately. Either of at least two conditions quickly could per suade President Roosevelt to change the value of the dollar in terms of gold:
 i. If remaining gold standard countries. notably France, were forced off gold, it might then be desirable further to devalue the dollar in line with the general de- probation of currency which would ensue throughout the world.
 2. MT Roosevelt would not he's tate to devalue the dollar further to arrive at an international cur rency stabilization agreement. The staruttorv limit of devaluation is 50 oent~ sold.
 IN his message to congress last January, MT Roosevelt said the disturbed state of international at' fairs prevented international cur rency stabilization.
 Imitation: Currency infiation- printing press money-is not a new deal policy. The $3.OOO,00O,OO0 oi funded greenbacks authorized per missively by the Thomas imitation amendment have not been used.
 Credit imitation has administra- tiob support. Appointment of Mar riner s. Eccles as governor Of the federal reserve board foretold a standardization of government con troI over credit. By borrowing. in ducing others to borrow and by utilizing control over banks to as- sure they will make the loans, gov ernment can inf1ate credit. Low interest rates probably will be a factor.
 Under domination of Eccles and Secretary of Treasury Henry Nor genthau, Jr, the banking system rather than the printing press will be the source of government funds. Deficits created by spending will he met for a time with more bor- rowing. The alternative to borrow ing to meet deficits is currency in- fation. .,,
 The federal reserve board will s endeavor to compel banks to fol- low policies evolved in Washington and believed to be more nearly ln board policies prior to the 1855 the national interest than were collapse. If bankers resist they will be coerced.
 Bankers deplore purely pollt1cal control of the banking system. New dealers contend bankers proved themselves unable to protect the public.

New York, Dec. 10 -. (UP) - Transatlantic liners early today raced to the last known positiou given by the stricken Japanese freighter, Victoria Maru, hoping to arrive before the vessel sank with all hands.
 Wrecked by gale in mid-At- lantic, her captain and chief mate dead, the Victoria Maru was be- lieved in a sinking condition. Her last feeble radio message empha- sized her urgent need of assist ance. Her third mate was missing. her radio operator said, and shore seamen believed he was swept overheard.
