LOSS OF BIG STOCKS
WOULD NOT BE MISSED

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. (UP)
The United States for the second
time within q few weeks today was
ready to pay out gold to foreign
banks if necessary for defense Of
the American dollar on its new
gold standard Of Is 5-21 grains
Of gold. &.
A seeming furry in the foreign
exchange market sent the Ameri-
can gold dollar to q sharp discount
compared with the gold French
franc. The franc reached 6,695
cents, compared with parity of
$3.50, making it apparently prof
liable for French banks to buy
American dollars and turn the dol
lars into gold here. ar - -
Several weeks ago q drop in
the dollar resulted.in the Bank of
France acquiring $i,900, 900 of
American gold. The readiness with
which the gold was paid out by
the United States caused sharp
rise in dollar quotations, making
further acquisitions for gold un-
profitable. - -
Although Americans are not
permitted to buy, sell or hold gold,
the United States government
now stands ready whenever the
dollar falls below its new par to
pay out gold on demand Of CEN

Representatives, was inferred late
Wednesday in little Carrollton

The President did not 60 to the
cemetery. He left Walnut. Hall,
the late Speakers 600-acre coun-

neral services and went immedi-
ately to his train. Before he left
Mrs. Rainey asked those attend
ing the funeral to leave the house
as she wanted to talk to the
President in private. They talked
for about 10 minutes.
A crowd of $1,000 persons,
gathered from all over the coun-
tryside, lined the half-mile from
the railroad station to the Raine3
estate and collected on the
grounds. Two pastures opposite
the house were filled with cars. :
The funeral service, at which
Episcopal Bishop John Chandler
White officiated, were held in the
living-room of the old-fashioned
brick house, its white verandah
covered with vines. The front
door and a window were left open
so that few of the crowd on
the lawn nearest the house were
able to hear some of the service.
The widow, other members Of
the family, and President Roose-
welt attended the services inside
the house. Others, officials and
friends, were seated on the lawn.
A guard of honor stood silently
on the porch.
After the ceremony the casket
was brought out the front door
and placed in a hearse which walt

About 5000 trailed the funeral
cortege to the cemetery, two miles
from the estate. Progress was
slow because of traffic.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. (UP)
nryaniza.ion of the American Lib
s-ty League, which has Alfred E.
Smith John W. Davis and promi-
nan, Republicans on its executive
committee. was announced yester-
law with the objective of defend
irg the constitution and combat
.ing radicalism in the United
States,
The organization will extend
throughout the United States with
headquarters in each state, Jouett
ShOuse. prospective president of
me league, said in announcing its
Incorporation.
Sbouse was ousted as chairman
Of the Democratic national COM
mittee organization at the 1882
Chicago convention.
He said the league would "take
no part in politics for the time
being" adding that it would take
no part in the elections this year. /"
The league was described as an
educational organization designed
to organize property owners and
to give them a voice in the affairs
Of the government.
The project was outlined to
President Roosevelt a week ago,
Sholse said, in denying that the
league was an anti-new deal move
ment. He refused to say what Mr..
RoOseyelt's reaction had been to
the bipartisan educational pro-
gram.
Formation of the Liberty league
came in the midst of nationwide
speculation regarding possible re-
alignment of parties. 1t has been
remarked that many eastern Dem
ocrats, notably Davis and Smith,
have been sharply critical of the
new deal. At the same time the
Roosevelt administration has re-
ceived large support from western
ProgresSiveS and independents.
There is developing now in the
senate an insurgent Democratic
bloc which lacks leadership or
concerted plan. But among the
group critical of the White House
policy are such Democratic states
men as Senator Carter Glass,

Man Has Been in Custody for
Week But Formally Of

Tuscon. Ariz.. May 9--bPl-Dcten-
ton of an unnamed man in the kid
mapping of June Robles. six-year-old
heiress, was reported to the Associate
ed Press Wednesday by an authorita-
tive source
From the same source came infor-
nation that the man, described as a
Mexican. had given officers details
Of the plot and named man and a
woman. both Mexicans. and another
man, whose nationality was un-
known. as accomplices in the kidnap-
ing of the girl here April 25
The man, said to have been In GUS
tody for week although not formally
under arrest. was described as the
contact" through whom the family
of the girl was to deliver $4,000 run
som for her reutrn
1t was learned that the man first
came under suspicion during the time
official investigation Of the case was
suspended. He was picked up and held
without charge. the Associated Press
was informed, thus forestalling an OPP
portunity for collection Of the ran
som.
The ransom money has been wait
ing the abductors' call in the home of
Bernabc Robes, reputedly wealthy
grandfather OF the girl. Efforts to
establish contact with the kidnapers
have failed.
Wednesday the man in custody was
believed to be with investigators in
southern Arizona. His detention
clarified the reasons behind the in
tensive search that was made a few
days ago in the vicinity of Santa
Cruz and late Tuesday at Cananea, be-
low the border.
A document, giving the details of
the plan, was reported to have been
found. The ransom money, this plan
disclosed, was to have been obtained
within the first II hours after the girl
was kidnapped on her way home from
school. At the end of that time. it
was planned to spirit the child to
Cananea, SIS miles south of the border
The widespread hunt for the girl
however. was said to have disrupted
plans for collecting the ransom.
