FARLEY MAY QUIT
COMMITTEE POST
Reported Ready to Step
Down From Chairmanship
at RooSeveIt'S Call.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

AS soon as President Roosevelt
says the word. Postmaster General
James A. Farley will step out of the
chairmanship of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee
Mr.. Farley's tenure Of the national
craftsmanship may run a bit longer.
according to information obtained to-
day from authoritative sources. How
ever. Mr. Farley is ready to step out
tomorrow. The whole matter rests
nuon the Presidents finding suit
able national chairman to take Mr.
Farley's place.
The present exodus of Federal
office holders from membership in
the National Committee. in pursu-
ance of the demand of the President
that the partisan political organi-
zation be separated from the Gov
ernment, has given rise, however. to
the belief that the selection Of a new
Democratic national chairman is not
far off.
Three Have Resigned.
1t is obvious that 1t would be rather
ridiculous to insist upon the retire
ment of other Federal officials from
the Democratic National Committee
and to have the Postmaster General
retain the chairmanship Of the COM
mittee. Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross. direc-
tor of the mint. who has been vice
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee and National Committee
woman from wyoming, has quit the
committee. and Jed c. Adams. member
of the Board of Tax Appeals and ma
tional committeeman from Texas
has followed suit There are other
designations expected. including that
of w. A. Julian. national committee
man from Ohio, now treasurer Of the
United States under Roosevelt ap-
pointment.
Mr.. Farley might. it is true, decide
that he would leave the Roosevelt
Cabinet and retain the Craftsmanship
of the National Committee, on the
theory that he is greatly needed as
chairman.
However, his close friends say that
he is not going to retire from the
cabinet. In addition there are lead
ing Democrats who say that Mr.. Far
ley will continue to WELD a tremen-
dous lot Of influence, politically, after
he has stepped out of the picture as
national chairman.
Advice Will Be Sought.
Giving up the Craftsmanship Of the
National Committee does not mean
that he will not continue to be con-
suited about appointments to office
He has been recognized as the patron
age dispenser of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration since March a year
ago, and has relieved the President
of great deal Of detail of that kind.
1t is clear that this job Of handling
patronage-the appointment to Fed
eral of1ce-will have to be done and
by some one in the administration.
The politico-lawyer members of the
Democratic National Committee who
came to Washington to practice law
after the advent of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration have, for the most part
quit membership in the committee.
The latest to resign was Arthur
Mullen, who was for years national
committeeman from Nebraska. He
Joined the ranks of the former men,
bers along side Of Robert H. Jackson
of New Hampshire and Bruce Kremer
of Montana. 1t was the activities here

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (U.P.O -
Questions and answers explaining
the new monetary situation follow
Q.-What does a 59-cent dollar
mean to the average citizen?
A.-Nothing directly. The dollar
bill in your pocket hasn't shrunk in
size, and it will still buy groceries
priced at 100 cents. The indirect
result desired by the government
is, to be sure, to raise the price of
commodities and that may mean to
raise the price of groceries. But
by that time, if the money policy
does what is predicted by its spon-
sors, the wage Garner will have
more dollars to spend.
Q.-Why was the figue 5000
cents selected by the government a.
the new dollar price in terms of the
old gold price?
A-That. President Roosevelt ex-
planned today, is matter OF
"higher mathematics The exact
figure was unimportant. within a
range of few mills; the object was
to get the dollar slightly, but not

far, below so cents. But the govern
ment decided it might as well have
a round figure for the purcha1e of
gold aand selected $35 an ounce as
the price. The amount of gold in
the new dollar, 1928 grains nine
tenths fine, was calculated from
the $35 price. 1t Is the amount of
gold in the dollar which regulates
its value, and 1923 grains of gold at
$35 an ounce is worth 59.06 and
a fraction cents.
Q-Is the dollar now stabilized
1T 59.O6 cents.
A.-One official described the sit
uation as "a modified return to the
international gold standard. The
dollar is ''pegged" until further no.
tice, in relation to gold content,
but whether the same level can be
maintained in foreign exchange
quotations depends on how success

,, crates. The President has the power
to change the gold content of the
dollar or the price of gold at any

and 60 percent of its old statutory
content of 25.8 grains nine-tenths

Q-Can gold circulate as money
in this country now?
A.-No. Gold coins will be melted
into bullion and kept by the trea-
ury in bars, probably worth about
S., 900 each, for use in settling in
ternational balances and as a cur
rency reserve. A new type of cur
rency will be issued. The money
will be gold certificates but will not
carry an unqualified promise of re-
demption in gold. Gold jewelry or
gold plate may be owned by indi-
viduals, but monetary gold, except
old coins having a collectors value
is illegal.
