PRESIDENT ASKS FOR
 FURTHER POWERS
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 WASHINGTON, Jan. Is --Presi- dent Roosevelt turned to Congress for new powers to manage the na- tions currency thru revaluing the gold dollar, probably around 60 cents at the outset, and calling in- to the treasury all outstanding monetary gold, aggregat.ng more than three and one half millions. This was the first step planned by the President. The earliest re- actions on Capitol Hill indicated that a majority will support the chief executive in this far reach ing step. It is equally certain, however. that opposition will spring up in both houses.
 The delivery of the special mess age to Congress today is expected to be, touchstone for a torrid de- bate on the entire monetary ques- tion, either immediately, or in the near future. Gold standard ad- yocates and others are expected to voice criticism at length.

MONEY EXPANSION
Silver Bloc Study Plan to

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Informal attention Is being given
by a group of Senators to a proposal
for retirement of more than S9.00o,-
900 900 of Federal tax-exempt securi-
ties by issuance Of an equivalent
amount of new money backed by gold
and silver now in the Treasury.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, OF
Montana, said today no agreement
had been reached He added he had
long favored this action, but that his
principal objective was reconciliation
of silver.
demonstration Discussed.
Currency expansion plans were dis
cussed yesterday at meeting OF
Wheeler, Senator Thomas, Democrat,
of Oklahoma Senator McCarran.
Democrat, of Nevada, and Father
Charles E. Coughlin of Detroit.
The silver group also gave attention
to a proposed mandatory remonetlza- :
ton of silver at stable price OF Sl.29
an ounce.
There was no discussion of ratios
between gold and silver. Wheeler has
maintained the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver should be
on a basis of the historic 16-to-l
ratio.
"There was nothing definite in
proposals made at the meeting,
Wheeler said.
so far as I am concerned, ! plan
to reintroduce my bill for the re-
monetization OF silver in much the
same form it was presented to the
last Congress"
An advocate of the wider use OF
silver in the American monetary
standard, the Michigan priest put this
question to those who saw him after
his conferences:
why should this country depend
on gold as a currency medium when
we produce only a fraction of the
metal compared with the outside
world? Do you know that the Brit
ish Empire produces rs per cent OF
the total? On the other hand we
produce rs per cent of the worlds
silver. Why shouldn't we make use
of it?"
Father Coughlin refused to say what
specific points in his program OF 16
principles he would seek to translate
into legislation at the forthcoming
session of Congress beyond the state
ment that he would continue to
fight for the retention of section Ia
in the national industrial recovery
act dealing with collective bargaining
