SOUND MONEY
BODY FORMED
Headed by Ex-Sen. Owen;
Goal Is a Central
u. S. Bank

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-(UP(-
A sound money league, with the
creation of a central bank by the
U. S. government as its goal, was
organized here yesterday and a
membership campaign inaugural
ed under the leadership of former
Senator Robert L. Owen.
Owen, in a statement of the
new organizations purposes, en-
phasized that its main goal was
the Creation of a government
owned central bank which shall be
instructed by legislative mandate"
to aid in restoration of confidence
and sound banking throughout the
country.
The proposed bank would have
two major functions:
81. To restore our monetary
system b. expanding the demand
deposits of private banks to a nor
NAL level.
"2. To thereafter maintain and
stabilize the purchasing power of
the dollar in such ratio TO the-p pro-
ductivity of the nation as will in
sure steadily rising stanards CT
living"
Owen insisted that such a pro-
gram would "reduce debt, in
crease employment, restore sala-
ries, wages, individual and corpo-
rate earnings and incomes, and
would cause property values to
rise, thereby creating higher tax
revenues to our national, state
and municipal governments"
The sound money league favors
a central bank, but Ovens state
ment emphasized that "the league
wishes it clearly understood that
such a purpose can be accom-
plished without initiation, and
without the central banks becom-
ing a competitor to the private
banking institutions of the coun-
try"
In more definitely defining the
purposes of the bank, he said:
"The central bank should fill
the gap left in the national credit
money system through the de-
struction of some $40, 000,000,0O0
in bank deposits, and to make the
buying and debt-paying power OF
the dollar stable. This we believe
can be worked out by the commit
tees in congress in such manner
that there need be no call for the
governments going into the busi-
ness of commercial lending"
The former senator took occa-
sion to attack the Federal Reserve
system, commenting:
&c. The Federal Reserve sys-
tenn has notably failed to accom-
plish the purpose for which it was
created. Our bankers, who are in
charge of the system, expand
credit in speculative times when
it should be contracted, and con-
tract it in bad times when it
should be expanded and made
available. For this reason it is
clear that a privately-owned sys-
tenn oil control can never attain
the economic security which the
country needs. :. !,

NATIONAL
Victors by Unneeded Game
in League Race Start
Series Wednesday

NEW YORK Oct. 1.-(UP).-
The major league championship
season ended yesterday with a
grand climax.
As a fitting conclusion to two
of the most bitterly-fought pen
nant races the game ever knew,
frankie Frisch and his fighting
st. Louis Cardinals wrested the
National. league pennant from the
New York Giants Sunday, and
will meet the new American cir
cult champions, the Detroit tt
gers, in the world series starting
at Detroit on Wednesday.
This last-minute triumph of the
Cardinals unquestionably provid-
ed the most thrilling chapter of
either campaign although the tri-
umphal march of Mickey Coch-
rane's Tigers was an epic in itself.
These two clubs emerged vic
tors from two long, topsy-turvy
scrambles in which the New York
Giants and Washington Senator'S
were dethroned as champions of
the National and American
leagues, respectively. They were
scrambles that marked the rise to
power of new clubs and individual
stars and the fading of other
teams and big name players.
frankie Frisch, in his first full
season as player-manager of the
Cards, guided his team to the
pennant, although beset by inter
nal strife in the club, salary dis
satisfactions, cliques of players,
and a mid-season strike by his two
ace pitchers, the mighty Dean
brothers, Dizzy and Paul. The
patient frankie acted as the
great pacifier" and brought all
menacing conditions under con-
troll. Six and a half games be-
hind the Giants on Sept. 8, they
chopped down the faltering New
York lead with one of the great
est late-season surges ever staged
This campaign saw Dizzy Dean
become the National league
leading pitcher with 30 victories
and 7 defeats.

FOLEY RETICENT MI
CASE YESTERD A.,

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.--~fx>&
Bruno Richard Hauptman1 led
as the man who received es000
in ransom money in ~ And
bergh kidnapping, paced Aia bhd-
steel cell in the Bronx 1Nday
as detectives and investigators of
the district attorney chung TO the
trail they hope will lead to arrest
of one or more additional persons
in the case.
District Attorney Samuel ].
Foley, who took the afternoon off
to attend the baseball game at
the Polo Grounds, appeared to
have "closed up" on new devel-
opments in the case and refused
to discuss his statement that a
woman has been found who has
evidence Of great Importance.
Wide speculation followed the
prosecutors statement. Some be-
lieved the woman was involved in
some manner in the transfer Of
the ransom money at St. Ray
mond's cemetery. Others thought,
however, that she would prove to
be merely friend of Hauptmann
who had come upon some infor-
nation of Importance bearing in
his relation to Ihte Lindbergh case.
Reports yesterday said that au-
thorities were searching for for
mer policeman who had been
friend of the German carpenter,
but at Foley's office it was said
nothing is known of such a man.
The district attorney continued
to refuse to reveal the result OF
physical examinations of the
prisoner made by doctors repre-
senting both prosecution and the
defense Hauptmann is to pe
studied by alienists some time
this week, with indication that he
may resort to an insanity defense.
Foley believes, it was learned,
that Hauptmann was the man who
climbed q ladder into the Lind
! bergh nursery and took the child
from it's crib, but he has hesitat-
de to make a public expression OF
his belief, feeling that it would
be interpreted as an infringement
on the functions of New Jersey
authorities.
Hauptmann ate hearty meals
yesterday despite his apparent
moodines. Jailers said he slept
soundly and had to be awakened
for breakfast.
At the district attorneys office
it was said that several of the
ransom bills have been deposited
in New York since Hauptmann
was arrested. These notes, it was
understood, include three $40
bills, one $50 bill and S. silver
certificate. The bills were depos-

Z NEW PATCHES.
UNEARTHED IN
GOTHAM BANKS
Latest Finds Declared Not
Linked With the Haupt-
mann Case
WILL SPEED SEARCH
FOR NEW SUSPECTS

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-CUP).-
An impending surprise develop
ment in the Lindbergh case was
limited today when Bronx county
and New Jersey officials resumed
work on plans to prosecute Bruno
K. Hauptmann.
Although officials withheld COM
ment, the impression grew that
that either New Jerseys plans for
extradition or search for a posi-
BILE accomplice had developed i'm
portant new information.
The belief is supported by the
fact that two additional patches
of Lindbergh ransom money de-
posted last August have been dis
covered, but they are not linked
with Hauptmann.
District Attorney Samuel Fo-
ley admitted that the woman will
be one of the most important wit
nesses at the Hauptmann trial but
he has refused to reveal her mime.
