SILVER POLICY
To Be SET BY
CONGRESS
President Wants Discretion
In Execution Left With
Him or Treasury
BY International News Service

President Roosevelt has tenta-
lively approved legislation which
would put Congress on record in
support of the ultimate objective
of Is per cent silver monetary
reserve, but would leave the actual
steps in the hands of the PreSi-
dent or the Treasury Department.
The President would regard
such legislation as both manda-
tory and permiSSive-mandatory
in declaration of a policy to be
ultimately carried out, and per-
misSive as to when the move
should be made.
Dollars to Circulate
Mr.. Roosevelt feels that the
powers under which he acted to
take over all gold reserves of the
nation does not operate with re-
gard to silver, and that legisla-
ton would be necessary. Under
present tentative plans when, and
if the President should act to
take over silver stocks. only bull
lion would be commandeered. The
people would still be allowed to
keep silver dollars in circulation.
No definite decision on the mat
ter of Matchmaking silver has
been made.
Legislation designed to put the
plan into operation is now being
drafted for the Presidents peru
sal. He will decided whether
he approves the legislation when
it has been completed and pre-
sented to him.
Reserves Have Been Larger
Mr.. Roosevelt emphasized today
that there is nothing new in the
idea of an increased silver re-
serve. Silver reserves of the nation
were much larger during the Nc
Kinley and Theodore Roosevelt
administrations than they are
now, he pointed out.
The Administration recognizes,
he said, that half of the world is
on silver basis, and feels that
this nations silver stocks, now
running about II per cent in total
monetary value, could well be in
creased.

Speaker Rainey
Lists Booster
Democrats

The blacklist" of Speaker
Henry T. Rainey, which caused
CONSERVATION among House
Democrats, is being turned into
a booster list" for the good"
Democrats.
Departing from his rule OF
secrecy, the speaker is diSclos-
ing the voting records of Demo
cratic House members who have
stuck by the Administration in
its fights in Congress.
The voting list was compiled
originally to give the Admins
tration the record of those
Democrats, and Republicans
also, who have broken away on
important votes.
Secrecy still wells the "bad"
records, but the speaker is dis
closing on request from local
Democrats, the voting record of
deserving" members.
AS an example, Rainey
answered a request of a sup
porter of Mrs. Virginia Jenckes

% roll calls she voted with the

CENSOR BLOCKS
SEC. SWANSON

Proof of the strict censorship
held over operations of the United
States fleet in it's war game
maneuvers was evidenced today
when even Secretary of the Navy,
Claude A. Swanson, was unable to
get details of a reported collision
of two of the war vessels.
According to meager reports re-
ceived at the Secretary's office the
cruiser Milwaukee and the des-
troyer Simpson collided late Mon
day night somewhere in the Carib-
bean Sea. Efforts were being
made today to learn the extent of
the damage, but thus far, Secre-
tary Swanson said, the censorship
has prevented.

FLAG HERE

A flag that figured in interna-

Avenue by lone figure.
The flag was the World Peace"

Peace Conference at Paris as the
emblem of the League of Nations.
The lone figure was w. j. Van
Kirk, 74-year-old former minister
of Youngstown, Ohio.

One Of the busiest members of

Roosevelt. Her job is not Off.
cial, despite it's importance.
It is odd, now that one thinks
about it, that no one ever has
written a piece about Mrs. Schei.
der. Perhaps it is because she
doesn't especially care to be
noticed. And again it may be
that everyone connected with
Mrs. Roosevelt has grown so ac-
cuStomed to Tommy" that she
is taken for granted.
Mrs. Roosev welt calls her
Tommy" and it is by that
nickname that she is known to
the Roosevelt family and to the
White House staff
Tommy has been with Mrs.
Roosevelt for 10 years. She ex-
poets to be with her 19 more,
or longer.
Always With First Lady
Except in a very few instances
she goes everywhere with the
First Lady. She attends to Mrs.
T 0osevelt's correspondence, looks
after her voluminous files, keeps
her posted on her engagements,
and saves her annoyance and in
convenience in every possible
way.
At Mrs. Roosevelt's weekly con-
ferences with the press, Tommy"
sits by her side to supply her
with dates, data, and answers,
in many cases, to the newspaper
Women'S questions.
Says Mrs. Roosevelt:
Tommy, 1 see l am going to
receive the Blank boys on
Wednesday. Who are they and
why am 1 receiving them?"
Answers Tommy:
"They are from the Blank
School and won a trip to Wash
ingtOn for writing essays on the
New Deal. Senator SO-and-SO
arranged for you to see them"

WARRENSBURG, N. Y, May
9.-Here is town under sentence

the Blue Eagle.
Slowly, inexorably, it is being
throttled. Its few industries are
drying up, their sponsors unable
to twist rural conditions to con-
form to an NRA mold obviously
cast for urban industrial centerS.
Unless the Blue Eagle consents
to lift it's "sheltering wings"-the
phrase is that of a town Off

will die with it.

JOBS AND TRADE
GAINS SHOWN
BY International News Service

by International News Service
Continued business gains with
a corresponding increase in en-
ployment and pay rolls during
March and early April were re-
ported today by the Department
of Commerce. Retail sales, for
eign trade, and primary distribu-
ton improved.
The outstanding exception was
the construction industry, which
receded to IS per cent of the
1923-25 average for the first three
weeks in April.
Manufacturing production in
creased in March at more than
the usual season average. The
adjusted production index at 80
per cent of the 1923-25 average
was IS per cent higher than last
November, which marked a low
point of the four months decline
after the peak of July, 1888.
