Promote Construction.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A move to muster a formidable
group Of business leaders to help the
Government stimulate private con-
struction Is to be proposed to the
Commerce Departments Business
Advisory and Planning Council.
The proposal is to create a special
committee of business leaders to CO.
operate with the Government. Be
hind 1t Is a strong belief that siz-
able squirt in private building is es-
sentiaI to recovery. Squirting the move
is the opinion that 1884 construction
spending will drop below 1888 levels.
A report already has been prepared
for submission to the Private Con-
struction Committee OF the council
and with that committees likely ap-
proval, to the council itself at a
meeting tomorrow
This report says that Of a normal
annual ,00o,ooo,ooo construction
business, $4,000, 100000 was private
spending and from $4,000. 900, 900 u
500 900 900 public.
Today. the report finds, private
construction has shrunk to $4,000 ,000,-
900 annually. This means the unenl-
ployment of 100000 workers at con-
struction sites and 100000 more in
supplying materials.
Tomorrow's meeting Of the council,
under the Craftsmanship Of S. Clay
Williams, is its sixth general gather
ing
Among subjects certain to receive
attention are reports on unemLloy-
ment insurance by committee which
Walter c. Teagle heads. and one on
credit needs of small industries by a
committee of which E. c. Van Diest
is chairman.

PROTEST
BELGRADE ATTACK
ViruIent Press Campaign
Will Be Cited by
Minister.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, September 19-The Italian
government tonight instructed its
minister In Belgrade to protest strong
ly to the Yugoslav government against
"virulent" anti-Italian newspaper
campaign in Yugoslavia.
The official announcement of the
protest was made by the foreign office
after government quarters had pre-
dicted a diplomatic incident between
Italy and Yugoslavia.
These quarters said they learned to-
day that recent article in the semi
official Belgrade newspaper Vreme.
which virtually accused the Italian
Army Of cowardice, was inspired and
ordered printed by the Yugoslav gov
ernment.
Press Campaign Resume Given.
The Gironale d'Italia has just
printed a resume Of the recent Yugo-
slav press campaign which began i'm
mediately after Italy moved troops to
her frontier following the assassina-
ton of Chancellor Dollfuss of Austria
The Yugoslav newspapers have
printed wild reports Of riots. strikes
and conflicts. with scores of dead and
injured at Milan, Turin and other
Italian cities. A small Italian paper
called the San Marco in cara replied
rather sharply to the Yugoslav press,
although the rest of the Italian press
remained silent.
YugoSlav newspapers pounced on
the San Marco article and used 1t as
basis for violent anti-Italian often
sive. accusing the Italian Army of
cowardice and inefflciency during the
World War.
Comments on French Article.
Gironale D1talia, commenting on q
statement in the French press that
one Of the tasks facing Louis Barthou,
French foreign minister, in coming to
Rome would be to reconcile Rome and
Belgrade, said:
1T is not case of reconciling two
regimes so diSSimilar, but of recalling
Serbia to the respectful ranks of hon.
est and responsible people who remem-
Der the benefits they have received,
and to not repay them with villainy.
Government circles believe the Yu-
goslav campaign is an effort to muddy
the water so as to hinder the growing
Italo- French rapprochement."

The best American Legion source.
are whispering that Frank Belgranc
of California probably will be mex
national commander. He is Repub-
lican, but his campaign has been free
from political partisanship.
His pals say he will come out
shortly with statement scolding ths
Legion king-makers for partisan ef
forts. They believe his administration
will be a square-shooting one. which
will do the Legion more good thar
an anti-New Deal administration
One thing Which is giuing Wall

talk about a new central bank.
The pord is being passed around
that Mr.. Morgenthdu'S freshman
team OF brain truSters is working
on definite central bank plan:
that the administration UiH NOT
champion the plan, but tuiH permit
it to be introduced By a Democratic
Congressman at the coming session
OF Congress and slipped through.
1t is an interesting story. but 1
does not appear to be true. Tht
brain trusters may have such an idea
but responsible Treasury officials ar
proceeding along different lines.
They will probably recommend II
Congress two notifications of th'
Federal Reserve act. one to give thu
board the veto power over selection
of governors of various Federal Re
serve banks and the other to set W
an open market committee within thu
Federal Reserve System.
With these two steps the best ad
ministration authorities believe the!
can control credit and money just a!
effectively as by setting up q who'll
