HOUSE SENDS
GOLD BILL TO
PRESIDENT
Senate Amendments Approved
Unanimously After Plea
for Speed
BY International News Service

Congressional action on the
Presidents gold bill was COM
pleted today when the House &C.
cepted Senate amendments to
the measure. The vote was unani-
nous.
The House acted after President
Roosevelt had informed Speaker
Rainey that the three-year time
limit imposed by the Senate is
entirely satisfactory to him.
The President is expected to
sign the bill tomorrow. Physical
delivery to the White House was
delayed by the fact that the Sen
ate was not in session and Vice
President Garner could not affix
his signature to it.
Triumph for Roosevelt
Passage of the most important
monetary measure in many years
in less than two weeks was an
other triumph for President Rose
velt. The House acted a week
ago Saturday, approving it by a
vote Of $50 to 40. The Senate
passed the measure week later
by a vote of Sc to %.
The measure carries authority
for the President to revalue the
gold dollar between so and so
cents, takes over three and a half
billions Of Federal Reserve gold
and creates a two billion dollar
fund to be used in stabilizing
the dollar.
The President is expected to is
sue a revaluation proclamation
within a few days, and the Treas
ury plans to set up it's stabiliza-
tion fund without delay.
Among the bills provisions is
authority for the Treasury to use
new means Of financing the Gov.
ernment, including an increase of
two and a half billion dollars in
the note-isSuing authority.
Chairman SomerS Of the House
Coinage Committee, said the
measure means a managed cur
rency for the United States, and
the gold certificates which the
Treasury will give the Federal Re
serve banks will not be redeem
able in gold.

WHITE HOUSE
BARS WHISKY

Wines will be served in the
White House after liquor becomes
legal in the District, but no dis
titled liquor will be served, Mrs.
Roosevelt announced today.
The First Lady, in making this
announcement, at her press con-
ference, stressed the fact that
American wines will be used by
preference. She said:
'By February Is it will be-
come legal in the District Of
Columbia to serve wines. No
distilled liquor will at any time
be served in the White House.
There will be no fixed rules as
to the serving Of wine, but
when served they will Of course
be simple wines, preference be.
ing given to American wines"
No wines will be served at
White House State dinners this
season, as all such functions will
be over by February Is.
Mrs. Roosevelt, herself a total
abstainer, has never insisted that
her family entirely refrain from
either beer or wine. It has never
been the custom, however, for
any kind Of liquor to be served
at family dinners.

Senator James F. Byrnes (D0
Of South Carolina said the sub
committee would begin marking
up" the independent offices bill
Wednesday.
When General Hines appeared
before the House Appropriations
Committee sometime ago he
launched into a discussion Of
living costs that proved highly in
tereSting.
His Figures Used
Hines explained in that instance
that costs of supplies for the Vet
erans' Administration, most of
which are goods in common house
hold use, had advanced greatly in
price during the last year-in
some cases nearly 1C1 per cent.
Friends of Government en-
ployes have contrasted this with
the living costs survey Of the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, on which
was predicated the Administra-
tion'S refusal to restore any part
of the wage cut now without legis-
1ation by Congress.
Contradictions Cited
Postal employees in particular
have pointed out that there seems
to be a remarkable lack Of CO.
ordination in the Governments
own mechanism when the Vet
eranS' Administration finds price
increases in almost everything it
buys, but the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics cannot find any appre-
ciable advance in living costs of
Federal employees.
The situation with respect to
the pay cut feature Of the Inde-
pendent Offices bill, was appar-
emily unchanged. Indications were
that negotiations were still in
progress between pay-cut advo-
Gates and the leaders of the battle
