FOREIGN EXCHANGE
POLICY IS REVISED
President Extends License Regula-
tions to individuals as Well
as Banks.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today issued three
executive orders revising the Govern
ment's regulation over foreign ex-
change transactions and extending the
license policy to individuals as well as
to banks.
A brief explanatory statement Of the
lengthy orders given out at the White
House said:
Taken together. the orders estab-
iished substantially the same regulation
of foreign exchange as was established
in the executive order of March 10,
1893, but instead of applying only to
banks which were licensed under the
executive order Of March 10. they ap-
ply to all persons dealing in foreign
exchange.
THE executive orders are further de-
signed to permit of greater elasticity
in the regulation Of foreign exchange
and related transactions. This con-
tinues in another form the authority
given to the Secretary Of the Treasury
in the executive orders Of April 20 and
August %, 1888"
In his monetary message to Congress
today the President proposed the ere
alton of q two billion-dollar Govern
ment fund for purchases and sales Of
gold in foreign exchange by the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury.
The executive orders pave the way
for dealings by the Secretary Of tho
Treasury.

P. W. A. FUNDS DENIED
FOR D. C. BOYS CLUB
1ckes Turns Thumbs Down on Pro
posal in Talk With Frank
r. Jelleff.

Public Works Administrator Ickes
today blasted hopes of local civic
leaders for boys club building program
financed with P. w. A. funds.
Ickes turned thumbs down on the
local project when interviewed today by
Frank r. Jelleff, president of the Boys
Club of Washington. Jelleff, after a
brief conference in the Secretarys
ofice, said Ickes explained there is no
money available for such an under
taking and that, in any event, the ad-
ministrator was opposed to making q
100 per cent grant because it would set
q bad precedent.
Jelleff and other supporters of the
boys club movement had sought an
outright grant of more than $357, 900
with which to erect two boys club
buildings in Washington, one for white
and one for colored boys. The move
ment had received wide support from
members of Congress, other Govern
ment officials and welfare workers.
Jelleff said Administrator Ickes indt-
Gated he would not mark the boys club
proposition as definitely dead. because
sometimes he is likely to change my
mind" At the present time. however.
Ickes made 1t clear he Is emphatically
against the proposal. -

Gold Price Boosted
To oS34.45 in Advance
OF Devaluation Step
BY the Associated Press.


Secretary Morgenthau announced to-
day that beginning tomorrow. January
Is. the price for newly mined domestic
gold would be $34.45 an ounce, less one
quarter of / per cent for handling
charges.
He also set Wednesday night as the
deadline for delivery to the Treasury
of all gold held by individuals in the
United States. but not including Fed
eral Reserve Banks.
In setting gold price of s34.45 for
newly mined domestic metal, the Treas
ury did not indicate whether this would
be paid by the Treasury itself or the
r. F. c., but since the corporation was
not mentioned in the order it was as
sumed to be the Treasury price.
A formal announcement of the new
move was promised for later in the day.
The reduction of one quarter of l per
cent would make the metal worth to the
miner approximately $3436, or 80 cents
above the price of S3406. which the
r. F. c. has maintained for 81 business
days.
Earlier it had become known that
r. F. c. gold purchases abroad approx
innate $97 900 900. Of which some S40.-
100000 has been bought since Janu-
ary l.
The effect of the new Treasury gold
price is further to cheaper the dollars
value and was assumed the preliminary
to deyaluation by the President after
Congress has extended the authority
sought in special message today.

FARGO. N. Oak. January l5.-A
court of three Federal judges today
held North Dakota's embargo on out
State shipments Of wheat and the law
under which such embargo was or
dered by Gov. william A. LANCER with
out force or effect.
Three judges. John B. Sanborn of
Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, and
Andrew Miller and M. M. Joyce of the
Federal District Court, joined in the
decision.
The order resulted from an action
brought by group Of North Dakota
elevator companies against the Cover
nor OF North Dakota and the State
Railroad Commission.
In their decision the judges held
that the power to order embargoes
and thereby interfere with interstate
commerce did not lie with the Legis-
lature Of North Dakota, but that all
matters relating to commerce between
States were subject only to action by
Congress.
The judges ordered an injunction
against further attempts at imposing
the North Dakota wheat embargo pro-
claimed last October 16 by Gov. Will
