 Father Coughlin would substi- ute lis bill for President Roose- veit's banking act. He said 1t would be- introduced in congress this week.
 Tt will restore property prices to a just and equitable level; will enable congress to provide just an- nual wages for labor and will in- crease agricultural prices to a point of fair profit" he said.
 This central bank, to be known as the Bank of the United States, will issue money, control the value thereof and the value of foreign monies. It will act as custodian of all monetary stocks, monies and public credit and reserve funds of all banks"
 "The bill, as backed by the Na- tional Union of Social Justice. will destroy want in the midst of plenty" Father Coughlin said.
 The central bank. according to Father Coughlin, would be con- trolled by a governing board of 4S members to be chosen by the peo. pie for period of 12 years. Sal- aries would be the same as those paid associate justices of the su- preme court.

 Col. George L.. Selby. acting principal keeper. said Hauptmann had been quiet at all times He spends much time sitting on his cot smoking one cigarette after an- other. Selbly attributed the prison CTS calm to his German army training.
 Resentment of other prisoners against Hauptmann, which was evil denced by boos on his arrival, seemed to have disappeared. The death house was quiet all Sunday
 A decision by the prison board of managers tonight may deter. mine when Mrs Hauptmann vii be permitted to visit. A 14-day quarantine usually is imposed upon new prisoners, but it is moi condemed man. If Hauptmann is not quarantined, his wife probably will visit him tomorrow.
 It was revealed at the prison that many religious tracts had been sent to Hauptmann. None will be given him, Selby explained, but Hauptmann will be permitted to select whatever spiritual counsel he desires.
 Requests to see Hauptmann die have flooded prison officials. The majority seemed to be from the merely curious. The law restricts witnesses to 23 which includes an official jury of 12, the warden and four assistants, and six newspaper men.

Holders of gold clause bonds have asked the suprefhe court to force the corporations involved or the government to pay them in paper at the rate of $l.09 for each dollar owed. They argued that the price of gold has been enhanced by 69 per cent--from s20.67 to $35 per fine ounce--and hence they ought to be given @ cents addi- tlonal for each dollar of principal and interest owing on their gold clause bonds.
 That would increase the public and private debt of the nation by 69 per cent in the gold clause ob- ligations. On tho basis of $100,- 900, ,000,0 600 gold clause bonds out standing the enhancement would amount to $69,000. 0OO, 1000. That amount would not have to be paid out at once since the bond matur- tiles range over 8 long period. But the interest gain alone is a large figure. being estimated at $2,600,- 900. 900 annually.
 There is no record of the gold clause bonds available. The fol- lowing table is an estimate based on bonds outstanding in the United States, together with a tabulation of the theoretical amount that would be due if the bonds were payable at a rise of 69 per cent over present figures,

COLD ISSUE EXPLAINED

New York, Feb 1S.--(UP)-Dol- lar bonds in the hands of American investors totaIing around $100,- 900. 100000 contain a clause which reads: 'sThe principal and interest thereof, shall be payable in United States gold coin of the present standard of value."
 Theoretically, the supreme court of the United States has weighed the prospect of paying off these bonds in principal and interest in ,;saper money appreciated in pro- portion to the increased price of gold, since it is unlawful for Amer ican citizens to own gold except for industrial purposes.
 Present standard of value" meant gold dollars based on 25.S grains of gold 9-10ths fine to; the dollar with gold aft S20.67 per fine ounce. Just q little over q year ago. the dollar was fixed at B9.O6 per cent of this basis and at pres- ent the gold dollar contains IS 5-21 grains of gold 9-10ths fine valued at $S5 per fine ounce.

SUPREME COURT
 BACKS ROOSEVELT
tcontinued from Page ID

(Conttnued rom rage u
 The majority sustained in every respect the cancellation of gold private bonds. Claimants in the suits had sought payment at the rate of $1,69 because it takes that equal the former gold dollar on which the bonds had been based.
 But the court pointed out that to force corporations to pay $1.69 would work havoc throughout the American economic system because all income of the corporations would be based on the new dollar. Upholding cancellation of the gold clauses, the court said:
 We think that 1t Is clearly shown that these clauses interfere with the exertion of the power granted to the congress and cer- taihly 1t is not established that the congress arbitrarily or capriciously decided that such an interference existed"
 The decision with respect to gov- ernment bonds was more complex.
 Govt Bond Case
 The government bond case arose from the suit of John M. Perry in the U. s. court of claims. He sued for $16,931.25 on $10,00O Lib. erty bond.
 The court went first into the question of congress- power to can eel the gold payment promise in the governments own bonds. It decided congress in that respect had exceeded its powers. But on the other hand, it said a person could not be Awarded damages without showing actual and real damage suffered by breaking of the contract in the bond.
 Perry, the court said, not only had not shown actual damages, but would be given an "unjustifled en- richment" if he we're paid the B,931.25 extra.
 Because Perry failed to show he had suffered real damages the court ordered his suit thrown out of the court of claims.
 Plaintiff" the court ruled, seeks to make his case solely up- on the theory that by reason of the change in the weight of the dollar, he is entitled to $1.69 in the pres- Ient currency for every dollar prom ised by the bonud, regardless of any actual loss he has suffered with respect to any transaction in which his dollars may be used. We think that position is untena ble."
 No Fear of Suit
 The courts decision appeared to permit the technical possibility of someone attempting In a suit In the court of claims to show ac- tual damage. But New Deal ot- ficials jubilantly hailed the de- cision as a victory for under the terms laid down by the court they believed 1t improbable that any one could show such damage. They pointed out, that despite dcvalua- tion, internal purchasing power of the dollar has not changed greatly and that was the test laid down by the cOur. A
 The court likewise threw out d suit in which Eugene Nortz had sougth a premium on gold certi- ficates which he had to surren. der under the treasury's gold seiz- ure orders. There never had been much doubt among the observers but that the court would sus- tain action of congress and the administration in replacing gold coin and certificates with other money, dollar for dollar.
 The supreme court under Hughes
