MONETARY PLAN
Special Message Is Sent to
Congress Seeking
New Authority
URGES OWNERSHIP OF
ALL MONETARY GOLD
Creation of Two Billion
Dollar Fund Request
ed by Treasury

WASHINGTON, Jan. ID
Power to make a periodic re-
valuation of the dollar within
a limited range of so to 60
per cent of its present gold
content, is asked of Congress
by President Roosevelt in a
special message.
Urging ownership of all
monetary gold, the President
recommended also the crea-
ti0n of a two billion dollar
fund out of the profits real
lied from devaluation with
which the Secretary of the
Treasury could trade in gold
in foreign exchange and gov
eminent securities for "regu-
laticn of currency and MAIN
tenance of the credit of the
Government and general well
fare of the United States
In his special message, the
President sought legislative
title to three and one-half bill
lion dollars in gold in the
Federal Reserve Bank with
provision for payment in gold
certificates or warehouse re-
ceipts on the gold dollar in
the Treasury.
The President in his mes
sage made it clear that it was
his intention to proceed with
the commodity d ollar and
plans envisioning f flexible
dollar ranging as compared
with the present statutory
gold content at between SO
and 60 cents.
The President said: IN conform
ity with the progress we are max
ing in restoring a fairer price level
and without our purpose of arriving
eventually at less variable pur-
chasing power for the dollar, I ask
Congress for certain additional leg
islation to improve our financial
and monetary system
The President said that by max
ing it clear I'VE are establishing
permanent metallic reserves in our
possession and ownership by the
Federal Government, we can or
ganize a currency system which will
be both sound and adequate"
Legislation Certain
Democratic leaders quickly pre-
dicted the President will get the
legislation sought despite opposi-
tion both from the Republican
ranks and within his own party.

PLAN IS MADE KNOWN

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. - Last
night there was evidence that the
President would turn to Congress
for new powers to manage the Ma
TONS currency through revaluing
the gold dollar to around so cents
at the outset and calling into the
Treasury all outstanding monetary
gold aggregating more than three
and one-half billion dollars.
The earliest reactions on Capltol
Hill last night indicated majority
support for the Chief Executives
far reaching step. 1t was also
equally certain, however, opposition
would spring up in both Houses of
Congress and his special message
would be the touchstone for tor
rid debate on the entire monetary
system. The gold standard advo-
Gates and others are expected to
voice criticisms at length.

Brought before County Judge ]. l..

Istanbul. March 30.-(P)-The Tur-
kish government decided Friday to
hand over the question Of the arrest
LOT Samuel insult to a competent Tur-
kish court, probably the penal code Of
Istanbul.
The decision Of the Turkish govern
ment was made on the basis Of the
provisions Of its penal code.
The ninth article Of the penal code
gives Turkey the right to surrender
insult to American authorities with
out the necessity of the Turkish par
lament having to approve an extradi-
ton treaty.
Though Turkish officials have not
yet announced insults actual arrest,
the steel arm Of the strong Kemalist
regime blocked the passage Of the
steamer Maiotis opposite the mouth
Of the famous Golden Horn and held
the ships lone passenger a virtual
prisoner while the government await
ed the receipt Of documents from
Washington.
Formal steps toward his actual ar
rest are to be taken, it was indicated
as soon as the necessary papers are
IN order.
Noted for Fast Action
The history of Turkey under Mus.
tapha Renal led foreign circles to
believe that there Is unlikely to be
any such delay in the handling Of
the insult case here as occurred In
Greece.

The fugitive from American justice
virtually sailed into q trap without
thinking, apparently, of the customary
rapid-fire action of modern Turkish
officials.
The mystery man of the Medit.
terranean" was reported still trying
to evade arrest and he was said tc
be constantly wirelessing his lawyer,
In London for advice.
Cabinet Ponders Matter
At Ankara Thursday night leng.
thy session Of the cabinet was held
and the insult case was discussed
thoroughly.
Robert p. Skinner, American min.
lister, said he had asked Turkey tc

Although no official announcement

Receive Relief But
Refuse to do Work


Many Bismarck men who are re-
oeiving relief have refused to work
for the money and that Is the reason
no work-relief projects have been
started In the Capital City, James
Guthrie, chairman Of the Burleigh
county emergency relief committee,
disclosed Friday. Until the situation
clears up and men on relief are will
ing to work for what they are getting,
no projects will be launched, he said.
The secret Of the whole business,
he said, Is that relief Is extended to
those who need 1t, regardless Of
whether they work or not, and some,
knowing this, refuse to work.
Technically. however, the argument
IS over the wages to be paid. Guthrie
contends they only get certain
amount for relief, and will get no
more whether they are paid 10 cents
an hour or 81 an hour.
But representatives Of the so-called
labor organizations, the unemployed
council and the labor club. have re-
fused to work for less than SO cents
an hour, claiming that II they work
for less they will jeopardize their
chances of getting that much or more
on private Job.
Guthrie said leaders of the various
organizations have been given copies
Of the new regulations and know
them as well as the relief officials.
As > result they have advised their
members not to work for less than
SC cents an hour. although. the rate
set for the city Of Bismarck Is IS
cents.
They Brag About It
Among the leaders of the organiza-
lions, Guthrie asserted, are men who
have received relief for sevral months
but who have never done q stroke
Of work. Not only that, he said, but
they have Dragged about their ability
to get by without working and have
encouraged others not to work. In
some cases, he said, relief which they
have received has not been recon-
mended by the county committee but
they have obtained it In other ways.
Another horn Of the relief commit
tees dilemma Is that provided by
the belief Of some farmers that pay
ment by the committee Of IS cents
an hour to workers outside Of Bis
marck will raise the cost Of labor to
them. Many Of them will need help
when the spring work starts and they
fear the 35-cent rate will become the
minimum for farm labor. II any
change Is made in the rate Of pay
in the rural areas they want it re.
duced. Six projects have been started
in the rural districts Of Burleigh
county. Pointing out that the rules
under which the committee works are
promulgated in Washington. Guthrie
said the local committee is powerless
to change them, but that, II instruc-
lions are issued to withhold relief UNI
| less it Is earned. the situation in Bis
nlarck would change within q short
time.
