The inside situation is working
around now to the point where the in
veStment bankers are going to pro-
mote the capital finance market.
They have been virtually on strike
since the securities act was passed.
That may have been because they
were afraid of the securities act or be-
cause no big financing could be done.
Beginning June 16, investment
bankers can no longer be private
bankers. A number of houses (unlike
Morgan's) have chosen to be invest
ment bankers and nothing else. They
can have no other source of revenue.
That means, if they are to live, they
will have to get busy and stir up
some capital financing. They will.
Academic Evasion.
Prof. Tugwell had a neat way Of
escaping, verbal punishment in the
Senate hearings. When he got into a
corner, he started talking academ-
ically over the heads of his hearers.
When Senator Long walked in, a
committee member whispered, Here
comes the Durante of the Senate"
Another committee member said
privately to a colleague: What I
don't like about college professors Is
that they think they are the only ones
in the world who are honest and in
telligent." His colleague replied that
when the administration really want
ed impartial administrators 1t went
after college professors or Army Of
flcers.
The conclusion Of impartial COM
mittee members upon reading the
Tugwell speeches was that he does not
make a very thrilling speech.

HOSPITAL SHIP
 HOUSES JOBLESS
.U. s. s. Mercy Converted Into Floating Refuge for
 All Transients

Philadelphia-(UP)-The U. S. s. Mercy, former merchantmen which served for 12 years as hos pital ship for the United States navy in war and peace, has been converted into a floating refuge for destitute transients.
 It has been tied up in dock here and made ready to accommodate as many as 500 homeless men after Feb l. Several thousand dollars have been spent in preparing the ship for it's new use as a wayfar- ers' hotel.
 Permission to use the Mercy for this purpose was obtained by the Philadelphia County Emergency relief board from the navy depart ment. It is admittedly an experi- ment, and if it is successful, relief boards in other seaboard cities are reported planning to press other unused ships into similar service.
 Translents admitted to the Mer- cy, the relief board said, will be "employable. men," They will at tend classes aboard the vessel and will receive vocational training in the machine shop and other shops with which the craft is equipped.
 Previous to the war, the Mercy served in the merchant marine. In 1917, it was converted into a hospital ship to meet the war emergency. Following the war, It remained as a hospital ship for the handling of cases of illness and ac- cident that occurred in the fleet. It's last voyage was made in May, 1929, when it steamed into the navy yard from Guantanamo bay with four officers and 112 enlisted men, whi became i'll or disabled while the fleet was in Cuban wa ters. Since then, it has been de- commissioned, crippled and rust stained.

Nebraska Farm Unit
 Ends With Politics
Union to Devote Efforts HenceiOrth to It's Business,
 States Second Biggest

omaha, Neb--(UP)-There are many recent indications that Corn Belt farmers are disgusted with efforts at agricultural equality through political activity.
 Perhaps the most striking ex- ample was at the state convention of the Nebraska Farmers union, when delegates and leaders se- verely criticised National President John A. Simpson, Oklahoma; Na- tlonal Secretary D. E. Kennedy, Kankakee, H., and Milo Rena, Iowa, head of the farm strike movement.
 The convention, after heated de- bate, voted to withhold dues to the national body until @ committee elected on the floor sifts charges against simpson and Reno.
 Nationwide publicity given the Nebraska unions stand has re- suited, State President H. c. Kee- ney announced. in a deluge of commendatory letters and tele- grams from other state union or- ganizations.
 The fare-up in union internal politics began at the national con vention here in October, when Simpson elected A. w. Kicker, St Paul, Minn., farm newspaper edi- tor, from the convention and later attempted to assault him in the lobby of a hotel. This action alien ated state unions of Wisconsin, Montana and North Dakota.
 The charge was openly made at i, the convention that the national clique had used ''strong arm" tac- tics to secude reelection and con- tinue in control, Chicago gunmen, it was charged, were imported to intimidate delegates. The regular" Illinois delegation, it was charged, was unseated at the instigation of Kennedy and Simpson and a rival group organized by Kennedy and Simpson after his resignation as seated. The regular group was shadowed by the gunmen, it was alleged, and finally forced to leave the city.
 l.. $. Heron, editor of the Me- graska Union Farmer, was threat ened with ride" 1t was charged.
 The charge was made that Ken nedy and Simpson had disrupted state unions in Kentucky, Minne- sota and other states.
 The Nebraska convention, fol- lowing the leadership of Kennedy, thereafter devoted all of its future affairs to it's own business. Reso- lutions to that effect were adopted after Kennedy had declared that although the legislative committee had been granted every request 1t made upon the Nebraska legisla- ture, the results achieved were in- significant compared with the vast business built by the Nebraska Farmers union.
 The extent of that business is little known outside of union cir cles. Even Nebraskans did not know that the union has been conducting the second largest busi- ness in the state, being topped

 l. Expand credit.
 2. Stabilize domestic prices.
 3. Protect American foreign markets.
 The dealings of the stabilization fund are calculated to maintain the dollar at the 59.06 level in its relation to foreign currencies. They are intended to drive Great Britain and France to satisfactory interna- tional currency stabilization agree ment. The alternative is interna- tional money war with foreign trade the stake. Great Britain has g $1,800, ,000,000 stabilization fund. France would be vitally interes- ed third party because her gold standard hangs in the balance.
 The presidents proclamation created automatically for the treas- ury a profit on gold estimated un- officially at $2,792,000,000. The dol- lar was devalued 40.94 percent. The profit figure represents that percentage of this nations store of gold. The government took title to all outstanding gold in this coun- try Jan. 30. All but $792,000,000 of the profit will be devoted to stabil- ization operations. The rest will shortly appear on the treasury books as a ash asset.
 Officials concede the possibility that the $35 may attract all gold in the world market to the United States, compelling France and her allies to abandon the yellow stan- dard Etit if ia noiutnd mt hero that the New York Federal Re- serve bank in behalf of the treas ury will both buy and sell gold. If French gold is drained toward New York, her weapon would be an em- bargo against gold exports which would amount to abandoning the gold standard.

 A.-To 'peg" the foreign ex- change value of the dollar in terms of gold at the new devalued price of 59.06 cents set by the president. Operations of the fund are expect eG to keep the dollar at the desired level.
 Q.-what happens to $10O in the bank or in a citizens pocket.
 A.-Nothing directly. Ordinary business transactions will continue az usual but a moderate rise in prices of goods the dollar will buy might take place in the future. The present paper or silver dollar will continue to be exchangeahle for 100 cents and be legal tender for all debts as formerly.
 Q.--Is the establishment of the new gold content 'stabilization" of the dollar.
 A.-In one sense 1t is. The dollar is now defi.-itely begged in terms of gold or gold currencies such as the French franc and gold trans actions between this country and foreign nations will be permitted to maintain the 5s.06 cent level. So far as the American citizen is con Lerned, he is forbidden to hoard gold and cannot exchange his pa per money for gold even at the lower content. The current level Is as technical as the old one as citizens cannot obtain goh in eith- CT case.

, fugitive. Sankey readily admitted his identity and blurted out comics. sions to the arresting officers and again to Melvis H. Pruvis, chiet investigator for the department of justice. Several times he said he had planned to kill himself rather than be captured. He was unarm- ed when captured.
 In the apartment in which he was living with woman who iden- tified herself as Helen Mattern, 28, a waitress, agents found $3,450 in tin box, a sawed off shotgun and two pistols with quantities of am- munition.
 To Purvis, Sankey gave details of the Boettcher Kidnapping. He said he took $30,00O of the $60,00( ransom collected from the Boett. cher family. Gordon Alcorn sus- pected associate of Sankey, receiv. ed $19,000, he said and the res was divided up among other mem. bers of the gang, Arthur Young. berg and Carl Pearce, who are now serving penitentiary sentences fol the Kidnapping.
 Denver, Feb. 1-(UP)-A copy of federal indictment charging Verne Sankey with the Kidnapping for $68,000 ransom of Charlel Boettcher. broker, was enroute to- day to Chicago.
 Sankey, Gordon Alcorn, Arthur Youngberg, Cari Pearce, Mrs FerI Sankey and Ruth Kohler were in dicted by a federal grand jury las May. Youngberg and Pearce plead ed guilty and were sentenced f, long terms in the federal peniten tiary at Leavenworth.
 The two women were released Alcorn still Is at liberty. Boettcher was kidnapped iron his home the night of Feb. 12, 193 and released 16 days later afte ! his father, Claude K. Boettcher paid $60.000 ransom part of whicl has been recovered.
 Trenton, N. J., Feb. 1-(UP)- The New Jersey state police ar awaiting word from federal off cials in Chicago before attemptinI to interrogate Verne Sankey fl connection with the Kidnapping 0 the Lindbergh baby.
 | Although admitting that Sanke is one of the suspects wanted fo questioning in the case, police of ficials said they had as yet mad no move to bring him to this state nor was anyone been dispatched t | Chicago to question him. | We are awaiting until we hea from Chicago" Major Charles Fl Schoeffel, one of the Lindbergh in vestigators, said this morning.

CTS in Washington and New Jersey police officials at Trenton.
 Almost constant communication by telephone was being maintained with these offices.
 It was believed that additional Justice Department agents who have been working on the Lind bergh case since the famous flyers baby son was kidnapped and mur- dered a year and Il months ago were en route here.
 Utmost secrecy surrounded the federal activities. Sankey's arrest was not even announced locally until after the news had been given out in Washington, an un- precedented procedure.
 Question after question was be- ing flung at the South Dakota rancher in hope of finding some clue to the Lindbergh abduction. The serial numbers of some $3,000 in bills found in his possession was being checked, despite Sankey's statement that the money repre- sented ransom from the abduction of Charles Boettcher, II, of Dem yer which had been changed to smaller bills some time before. From the Guarded statements of the questioners it was learned that Sankey talked freely regarding every detail of the kidnapings of Boettcher and Haskell Bohn of St Paul to which he had confessed. This was regarded with suspicion. Federal agents pointed out Sankey had been positively identified in both these cases and that he had been named in confessions of &C., complices. In these cases also he faces a simple charge of Kidnapping while if linked to the Lendbergh case he faces a murder charge.
 Helen Matterh, woman found living in Sankey's apartment, was believed by police to be without knowledge of his identity. They questioned her for many hours but she appeared to be Ignorant of Sankey's true name and only re- garded questioners blankly when asked if she knew Verne Sankey." She knew the suspect under the alias of w. E. Clark.
 Thomas E. Dahill. chief of po- lice and M. r. Kinkead, prosecut- ing attorney from St Paul, arrived today with extradition papers sign ed by Gov. Floyd B. Olson seeking return of Sankey to Minnesota. | Purvis informed the Minnesota officials the government is not yet through questioning Sankey and until then he will not consider ex- | tradition requests.
 Papers found at the Sankey ranch revealed that Sankey had kept track of the annual earnings of Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey as revealed in newspaper clippings Sankey was captured after a five months search. Tipped hat Sankey was in Chicago, police and federal agents organized a special detail to work solely on his apprehension Three Chicago detectives and six department of justice agents sci an ambush in the barber shop o1 William Mueller where Sankey frequented.
 Sankey walked past Detective Sergeants Thomas F. Curtin and Edward Donovan at the front door of the shop and seated himself in the barber chair. Mueller signalled to the officers and they rushed the
