THREE NARROWED
 MEN ARE SAVED
They Took a Chance in Small Boat to Reach
 the Shore

Middletown, Pa, Jan 10-UP)- Tales of facing death from starva- tion or exposure on a Windswept hill island in the Susquehanna river where they had been ma rooned since Christmas by the ice- clogged river were related by three men-safe today in their homes. Lawrence Ogle. Lloyd Peiffer and Harry Peiffer, brothers, all of Mid- dletown-braved the swirling wa ters. still filled with broken ice. when they launched their small boat last night and made their" way to shore.
 Learning of the plight of the trio, army aviators from the U. S. army air depot here previously had flown over the tiny island drop ping food and clothing to the stranded men, who had gone to the island to train hunting dogs. A sudden cold wave which froze ice on the river, prevented their re- turning home, as they had planned. The Ice began moving several days ago but 1t was not until last night that the swirling waters subslded sufficiently and the men made tho trip home.

Gold Market Might
 Open As Price Aid
Gannett FOresees World Gold Quotes Fixed in United
 States By R. FIG.

market price, or the effective price of gold in terms of dollars in for eign exchange, has declined and has recently been below $32.00. As a result, since November 16, the index of prices of commodities has failed to rise-in fact, has declined somewhat.
 This was to be expected because the REC price for gol dis an effecL tive price only when the London price of gold is the same. It therefore remains for the admins tration to make the REC price an effective price by purchasing free- ly all kinds of gold that Is offered in this country. If this is done, it will have the effect of moving the world market price to this country.
 When and if this is done, the ex- perience to date seems absolutely to prove that prices of stocks and basic commodities in this country will move with the world price in dollars, and will be directly influ- enced by the price that this coun- try will pay for gold.
 Fhe presidents plan to date has tested out the reliability of the Warren gold theory, has set up a management for the buying of gold by this country and has manoeu- vered the United States into posi- tion where it can be effective in preventing further price declines and the attendant business reces- sion. and may, by making the REC price an effective world price, gradually restore the 1926 price level in this country without the slightest fear of wild or uncon- trolled infiation.

SEVEN PERSONS
 IMPLICATED IN
 INSURANCE CASE
One Is Wife of Boston Patrolman-$5O,OOO
 Fraud Charged

Manchester, N. FL. Jan 1O.-- (UP) arrests were ex- pected today in an alleged $5O,OOO insurance fraud in which seven persons, including the wife of h Boston patrolman, and a former Massachusetts master in chancery. already face larceny charges.
 Those arrested in Boston yes- terday in connection with the case were Mrs Margaret Griffin, wife of Patrolman Gerald E. Griffin; Arthur r. Wood, former master in chancery and one-time candidate for Boston city council. his wife and a brother, Warren Wood, and Raymond Femino-all of Boston.
 Following arraignment as fugi- tives from justice, Mrs Griffin and MT and Mrs Arthur Wood were brought here last night. Femino and Warren Wood announced they would fight extradition and their cases were continued to January 19.
 Donald Podgson, 32. Man. chester insurance adjuster, and his assistant, Charles Peterson, were arrested here several days ago. Hodgson is the only one under in- dictment, but County Solicitor John J. Sheehan said he would call a special grand jury session before which to present the other cases.
 The method of operation, accord ing to authorities, was to fake re- ports of accidents in various cities throughout the state. Physicians signatures were forged to the re- ports, police said, and collections were made by persons which Hodg- son presented as policy-holders. The number of large claims com ing through Hodgson's office led New York insurance companies to investigate.

 Rochester, N. Y. (UP)-Conclu- sions should not be drawn relative to the effectiveness of the admin istra tion's gold buying policy with out a full appreciation of the facts which ere governing the operation of the plan.
 Since suspension of the gold standard in April, there has been much talk and confusion about the matter of inafition and espe- cially about the relationship be- tween gold and prices. Much of the misunderstanding arises from the interpretation placed on day to day price fiuctuation. In order fully to appreciate what has hap pened, changes over q longer pe- riod of time should be examined.
 During the period from April IF to July IS, the price of gold rose 46 per cent. Prices of basic com modities and industrial stocks also rose correspondingly. From July IS to October 21, the world price of gold fell somewhat. Prices of basic comm odities and industrial stocks declined even more. On Sunday, October 22. the president an nounced the establishment of the present gold purchasing policy ap- piled through the REC. This plan checked the decline in commodity prices and industrial stocks which was taking place with alarming rapidity and turned their prices upward. By November 16, the REC price of gold stood at $33.56. During the same period, the Lon- don or world market, price of gold in dollars was increased to $33.94. The record shows that prices of basic commodities and industrial stocks also rose during this period.
 But since November 16, despite the fact that the REC price of gold has gone above $34.00. the world

PLANS TO PROVIDE l: FOR TRANSMITS
Steps Taken to Assist . Homeless Men in Search of Work

q The proposition to establish camps for homeless transients is meeting with much favor, and if fhe government furnishes the necessary funds such places will be in existence in the near future. The plan is to provide camps where large numbers can be housed and fed until such times as they secure which will put them in a. position to shift for themselves.
 There is urgent need of camps for this purpose in all parts of the country, especially industrial cen ters where large numbers seek em- ployment and have no place to find food or shelter while making an effort to find employment. This condition will exist until the coun- try gets back to normal conditions, which may be much longer than some are willing to believe. In any event 1t is a matter of record that many are finding it difficult to secure employment, and having no money it stands to reason that such people will have to be cared for, either by communities. the state or the national government.

one of the principal questions in- volved was one of milage.
 As to Chicagos interest in the project through the diversion of water from the great lakes he in- dicated that he stood behind the war departments report that the treaty in existing form provides for enough water for that city, both for sewage purposes and for navi- gation to the Mississippi.
 To objectors along the Missi- sipp who feel that a clamp on water diversion from the lakes would interfere with commerce, the president declared that be felt their problem could be solved through his broad program of na- tional planning for the Mississippi valley. That program calls Tor control of head waters and regula- ton by storage reservoirs, dams, soil soil erosion and reforestation.
 MT Roosevelt further substan- tiated his position as against heaVy diversion from the lakes by citing that the water was only half ours; that the other half belonged to Canada. It would not be good neighborliness to take more than our share.
 The president made it clear that the project, primarily one of trade, would provide a direct market to Europe for products of Montana, the Dakotas, as well as those or areas along the Mississippi.
 Locks and dredged channel provide free navigation, the mes sage continued, to a point well down the St. Lawrence river be- yond which a series of three rapids impede the progress of ocean going vessels. With works now under way, the president said, only only two additional series of locks are required flor a complete and con tinuous seaway from Duluth to salt water."
 MT Roosevelt abruptly brought to the senate's attention the fact that Canada could proceed with locks at the Lachine rapids to create a seaway wholly under Can- adian control. ,,
 "I want to make it very clear he added, that this great inter- national highway for shipping 's without any question going to be completed in the near future and that this completion should be car ried out by both nations instead Of one.'
 Insisting that commerce ana transportation would be greatly benefited by the seaway, MT Roosevelt said local fears of harm to particular localities or to special interests are grossly exaggerat- ed" He recalled that every great improvement has been op- posed by local interests who con jure up imaginary fears and fall to realize that improved transporta- ton results Tn increased commerce beneftting directly or indirectly all sections"
 The president said he was con vinccd the seaway wouldn't lnJure

THEY WILL VOTE ''''','
 IN SAAR DISPUTE
Plebiscite Is Ordered By League-Vote to Be
 Secret One

Geneva, Jan 10.-UP)-The eague of nations council announced to-day that at it's meeting Monday it would arrange a plebiscite for the Saar territory, giving men and women over 20 years of age the right to vote. Because of threats by German Nazis against any who vote for French control of then ter rritory. the plebiscite balloting will be highly secret.
 The councils announcement in- dicated that it might advance the date of the plebiscite, set in the Versailles treaty for 1885. Ger many has demanded that the terri tory be turned over to her. By the treaty of Versailles the little area between France and Germany, rich in coal. was allotted to France, under government by a league of nations commission for 15 years to compensate her for coal mines de- stroyed by the German army in the World war.

the railways, disemploy railway men, nor interfere with proper navigation of the Mississippi or M issouri rivers. He said he was satisfied the treaty provided adequately for the needs of the Chicago drainage dis trict and for navigation between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi.
 Completion of the seaway would greatly serve the transportation needs of a. vas tarea of the United States and should, therefore, be considered solely from the nation- al point of view" he said.
 Turning to power, the president cited his advocacy of planned de- velopment-the Tennessee lvaley plants and projects in the south east; the Boulder Dam in the south west; and the Columbia river projects inthe northwest.
 "The St. Lawrence development in the northeast" he continued, "calls for action. This river is q source of incomparably cheap pow CT located in proximity to great industrial and rural market and within transmission distance or millions of domestic consumers" He said he wanted development of these four power projects ito serve as a yardstick and each to be controlled by government or agencies"
 MT. Roosevelt left unemploy- ment to the last, preferring to urge primarily the long view advantages of the development than its inn mediate aid in providing work. But he said he would provide jobs for thousands of men.

SEA SERPENT IS . SEEN AGAIN BY
 RELIABLE SCOTS
That Makes a Total of l55 Persons Who Got
 View of It

Inverness, Scotland, Jan 10.- (UP)-The Loch Ness lake serpent was given a more material aspect to-day by eye witness statements of five or more persons and the mute evidence of a human body, found near it's reputed lair on the north shore. The body was that of a man of 50, apparently wealthy. It was washed up on the shore near the spot where Arthur Grant, son of a Glen Urquhart land owner. reported he saw the monster Fri day. To Scots the body, though pending an inquest there was no evidence of death by violence, was impressive. Loch Ness, in Scots tradition, never gives up bodies.
 Near where the body was found, the battered corpse of Malcolm Macdonald, ancient bard, was found several weeks ago. Also nearby was found the hide and bones of a goat, which witnesses said seemed to have been crunched by double set of oversize teeth. Two police men, a woman. and two members Ol d newspaper lllNcSllSdIllIS pal y said they had seen the serpent, making a total of 155 persons who believe their eyes did not deceive them. The policemen and the wo- man said they saw the monster yesterday morning. They saw a long black object travelling in the direction of Dores.
 The other witnesses were mem- bers of an investigating party of the London Daily Mail. To them it appeared as a large, unusual creature, with black hump, trav- cling at great pace and surround ed by tremendous wash." "The wash created by the monster was 30 feet long," said w. R.
