THE newborn boom in the security and
u commodity markets was inevitable. And
It IS beneficial insofar as it is a manifestation
Of new vigor in the lately paralyzed limbs OF
industry But care should be taken by the
Administration and BY business leaders not
to permit this manifestation to turn into
elf-defeating speculative orgy.
With cOmmendable realism, the court ma
jority went beyond the legal technicalities to
discuss the obvious social and economic
inequities Of awarding the creditor more than
his pound OF flesh and adding 90 per cent to
the staggering burden of private and public
gold debts.
The devaluation of the dollar placed the
domestic economy upon a new basis" the
Chief Justice said for the majority. In the
N=rrency as thus provided. states and munic-
qualities must receive their taxes; railroads.
their rates and fares; public utilities, their
charges for services The income out OF
which they must meet their obligations is de-
termined by the new standard.
1T requires no acute analysis or profound
economic inquiry to disclose the dislocation OF
the domestic economy which would be caused
by such a disparity of conditions in which, 1t
is insisted. those debtors under gold clauses
should be required to pay Sl69 in currency
while respectively receiving their taxes rates,
charges and prices on the basis of 81 of that
currency"

WE do not share the alarm voiced SO
w vehemently by Justice McReynolds OF
the minority Instead of meaning the over
throw of constitutional government as he re-
marked. the majority decision properly re-
asserts the constitutional authority of Con-
eress to establish and maintain a uniform
currency without interference.
The contention that these gold clauses
are valid contracts and can not be struck
down" the court majority said, proceeds upon
the assumption that private parties and states
and municipalities, may make and enforce
contracts which may limit that authority.
Dismissirg that untenable assumption, the
facts must be faced. We think that it is
clearly shown that these clauses interfere with
the exertion of the power granted TO the Con-
eress and certainly it is not established that
the Congress arbitrarily or capriciously de-
cided that such an interference existed
The gold decisions will go down in history
with several other recent liberal rulings OF
the court which have interpreted the Consti-
tuition in the spirit in which it was written
not as a strait-jacke but as living body OF
orderly government.

Hope for adjustment Of the dispute
between Italy and Ethiopia was ex-
pressed by President Roosevelt in a
public statement today as the League
of Nations began consideration of the
controversy.
AT this moment" said the Presi-
dent, when the council of the League
of Nations is assembled to consider
ways for composing by pacific means
the differences that have arisen be-
tween italy and Ethiopia, wish to
voice the hope of the people and the
Government of the United States
that an amicable solution will be
found and that peace will be main
tanned"
Moral Support for League.
Many observers Immediately in
terpreted the statement as putting
the moral support of the United
States behind the Leagues effort.
The Presidents move was regarded
in some quarters as an attempt to
assist Great Britain. which heretofore
has taken the lead in urging peace
full solution. Sir Ronald Lindsay, the
British Ambassador, conferred yester-
day with State Department officials.
The Presidents statement followed
a number of State Department efforts
to encourage a peaceful settlement.
U. S. Interest Expressed.
When the Emperor of Ethiopia on
July appealed to the United States
to examine ways and means to in
sure Italy's adherence to the Kellogg
BRAND peace pact. Secretary Hull
formally expressed American interest
in the worldwide maintenance of
peace.
Without reference to the merits of
the controversy, Hull said then that
the United States was extremely
hopeful both nations would seek every
means to settle the dispute without
recourse to arms.

Midget Money Bill
Tabled by House
Coinage Commute
Rejected on Grounds it
Gives Too Much POmer
to Treasury.
By the Associated Press.


The administrations bill for the
coinage of new half-cent and mill
pieces was tabled by the House Coin
age Committee today on the ground
it would convey too much authority
to the Treasury.
The midget money had been pro-
posed by Secretary Morgenthau to
facilitate payment of State sales taxes.
President Roosevelt himself had sug-
gested designs for the coins.
Chairman Somers of the House
committee said special subcommit-
tee has been appointed to study the
matter further and "if the Treasury
can show a real need for a particular
coin, we shall give the matter more
consideration"
Somers and his committee objected
to the bill because it did not say
specifically what coins the Treasury
could issue.
Asked by newsmen If the commit
tees decision probably meant I'VE
won't have any Chinese coins this
session" Somers laughed and nodded

Exhildrdtion of Tobacco Laid
To Body Fight 4 gainst Nicotine

DR.. Mccormick experimental to
learn whether this form of energy
release ought to be regarded as a good
thing for a person.
He points out that eating gives a
similar sense Of well-being, due to
carbohydrates from the food passing
into the body In the form of sugar.
But he says there Is the difference
that the food energy is extra, taken
from the outside, while the tobacco
smoking extracts 1t from the body's
storehouses.
His own experiments were made by
giving rabbits enough nicotine to kill
them. He found that an auxiliary
dose Of adrenalin. the secretion Of the
adrinal glands, would protect them
from death. It protected them even
from serious illness.

HOUSE VOTE AGAIN
REFUSES TO KILL
HOLD|NGCOMB|NES
Roll Call Gives 81 Majority
in Rejecting Utilities
Compromise.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Continuing its opposition to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's wishes, the House re-
fused again today to accept the pro-
vision in the utility bill to abolish
unnecessary" holding companies.
The vote against the Rayburn mo-
ton was announced as l55 to 209 That
was a majority of 81 against.
Previously the House rejected the
abolition clause by 70-vote majority.
146 to 216 Today was the first time
a roll call was taken, however.
This action was taken in rejecting
a motion by Chairman Rayburn of the
Interstate Commerce Committee to in
struct House conferees on the legis-
lation to agree to the section approved
by the Senate by a one-vote margin.
Threat This Session Given.
Rayburn had said If his motion
were rejected I'VE may not" complete
action on the utility bill this session.
Representative Huddleston, Demo-
crat, of Alabama, said the issue be-
tween the House and Senate bills was
orderly execution or mob murder"
Testimony before the Senate Lobby
Committee today of efforts to start
whispering campaign" that President
Roosevelt was insane was read to the
House while Rayburn had the floor
to make his motion.
Then Huddleston asserted he felt
the utmost indignation lat the in
situation against the President" but
asked:
why did the gentleman from Texas
have that read at this time? Is it
his intention to further inflame public
sentiment"
Calls 1t Unconstitutional.
Huddleston said the abolition sec
ton was unconstitutional, would Gre
ate unemployment and take bread
out of the mouths of men,"
Before the vote today Speaker Byrns
overruled a point of order against
Rayburn's motion made by Chairman
O'Connor of the Rules Committee,
which originally refused to allow a
separate record vote on the nOlQ1ng
company question when the bill was
before the House.
O'Connor said he was presenting
the point solely to get rule and estab-
lish a precedent.
Reviewing the controversy that has
held up conference consideration of
the differing Senate and House bills,
Rayburn said the House conferees OBJ
jected to the presence of outsiders.
Representatives Huddleston, Holmes,
of Massachusetts,, and
Cooper, Republican. of Ohio. have
bucked against attendance of Benja-
min Cohen, P. W. A. attorney.
II brought this resolution In now"
Rayburn said, so the dam might be
broken. I believe if it Is we can get
bill in two or three weeks. 1t is
only fair and just that the dam be
broken and bill brought out imme-
diately and not delayed into the next
campaign"

PENSION BUILDING
WORK ACCEPTED
Deficiency Bill ConfereeS
Agree Also on $45,000
Health Item.
BY ]. A. OTEARY.

Remodeling and enlargement Of the
old Pension Building, in Judiciary
Square. was agreed upon this after
noon by House and Senate conferees
on the second deficiency bill, when
they resumed work after having
adopted earlier a compromise item of
s45 900 for the District Health De-
partment.
Restoration of the Pension ONCE
Building item was a victory for the
House. The Senate group advocated
some other location in order to leave
Judiciary Square available for future
court buildings, but finally yielded.
The bill authorizes "a, 700 900. of which
81, 900 900 will be available this year,
to add two new wings and to remodel
the present Pension Building. to pro-
vide adequate space for the General
Accounting Office.
Amendment Accepted.
The House conferees accepted the
Senate amendment giving the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission 100000 to continue the
parks development plan authorized
in the Capper- Cramton law. the
money to be paid back to the Federal
Government in future years by Dis
trict taxpayers. The House also agreed
to the Sl50,0O0 for the Water De-
partment, payable from water reve-
nues. to replace old pumps at one OF
the filtration plants.
The Senate amendment seeking
S2,550000 to air condition all OF the
Capitol Building and the House and
Senate Office Buildings will be taken
back to the House for separate vote
before it is finally settled. There are
a few disputes remaining to be set
tied before the conference agreement
is complete.
Moves Brought Conference.
The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee recommended new General
Accounting Office, to cost sll, 100000.
on the square east of the Senate Once
Building, but after the Senate had
rejected this plan it also struck out
the provision for remodeling the Pen
sion Building. This was done to put
the issue in conference. where further
consideration could be given to the
plea of District court officials and
city planners that improvement OF
the Pension Building would prevent
the carrying out of a plan to group
future court buildings in Judiciary
Square.
Although the Senate recommended
that the District be allowed to speno
S59,120 to inaugurate Health Othcer
George C. Ruhland's plan for i'm
proved health protection, some re-
duction in the amount in conference
was expected in view of the fact the
House previously had opposed IN
clusion in the regular District bill OF
all but a small percentage of the in
creased fund asked for by the health
authorities.
Nurse Corps to Be Built Up.
The compromise figure will enable
the Health Department to make
start on its program of building up
nursing corps for dsease-preventlon
work, and to broaden the scope OF
school health inspection. The plea
for additional funds for public health
had the support of medical autnor-
tiles and many local organizations.
