GOLD CASE Ruling
EXPECTED MONDAY
Administration Reported Ready
For Swift Monetary Action
II Necessary

Washington, Feb. 2.-B-The
Roosevelt administration was reported
Saturday to have completed all prep
arations for any swift monetary action
it may consider necessary after the
supreme court rules on the gold cases.
This word was passed in authorita-
tive quarters as observers watched
for another Saturday conference of
the nine justices on whom President
Roosevelt's money policies hinge. The
court was expected to gather again
In the quiet chambers in the capitol
where executive and legislative ac-
lions are measured by the constitu-
tional yardstick.
Many believed the high court would
deliver on Monday its decision In the
cases attacking the governments alb
rogation Of the gold clause. This inn
preston was SO prevalent that the
capital and much Of the world was set
for q nerve-strained weekend.
Nothing was certain. There was q
q possibility the ruling might not come
for another week or two. But admin
istration officials, while expressing
every confidence that the government
would be upheld, were taking no
chances Of being caught uuawares. II
was understood the plans called for
almost instantaneous moves to meet
any eventually.

ANGL0-FRENCH talk
CENTERS ON MONEY
Worried Over Future Of Pound
And Franc Because OF DOL
lar Uncertainty

London. Feb. 2.-(P)-The Anglo
French conversations unexpectedly
turned to discussion Of sterilization
Saturday and 1t was revealed that
England and France are both worried
over the future of the pound and the
franc because Of the uncertainty Of
the United States dollars position.
The uncertainty here was admitted
In Official circles after 1t became known
that Premier Pierre Flandin Of France
and the British financial expert, Sir.
Frederick Leith-Ross, had discussed
sterilization at long session during
the forenoon.
In addition the British cabinet met
at 10 Downing Street during the
morning. indicating the significance
Of new developments In the Anglo
French discussions.
Previously the talks had centered
upon armament problems and general
matters Of European security. It was
learned Great Britain will formally
invite Germany to join an inclusive
European agreement designed to set
tie simultaneously the problems Of
ornaments, security and the Reich's
return to the league Of nations.
The financial meetings, however,
were considered the most important
development Of the Anglo French
talks from the American viewpoint.
It had been officially denied that this
subject was on the conference agenda.
The information came as q surprise
to American officials here. although
they knew that Premier Flandin and
Chancellor Chamberlain Of the ex-
chequer were likely to discuss the sub
ject Informally at . weekend house
party.

DRAW PLAN TO CUT
SECURITY BENEFITS
Administration Proposes I
Eliminate ''Unearned An.
nuities" from Program

Washington, Feb. 2.-R-While
critics of President Roosevelt's social
security program sought higher bene-
fits, administration officials were re-
ported Saturday to be drawing q plan
to cut proposed federal expenditures
by several hundred million dollars.
The recommendations were not in
final shape, but one informed capitol
source understood they would call,
among other things, for elimination
Of federal donations for ''unearned
annuities."
Under the administration plan. Is
now before congress. man Of IS
could begin providing against his old
age by paying into the old age pen
sion fund. At IS, he would start get
ting money back, plus payments from
the federal government equal to the
additional sum he would have con-
tributed had he started paying when
he was 81 years old. These payments
from the government are called "un-
earned annuitieS." Calculations
showed, officials said, that they would
cost huge sums.
Word also reached Capitol Hill that
administration officials might urge
the exemption Of farmers, domestics
and casual workers from the pensions
and job insurance provisions on the
ground that to administer the plan
for them would be too difficult. It
was emphasized that this change had
not finally been decided upon, and
that the others might be modified.
In the face Of continuing drives for
the Townsend plan and other pro-
posals to boost the administrators
"ante", the president took stand FRI
day night to contribute to old age
pensions. The White House attitude
Is that this should be the limit be-
cause payments will reach @585 !O00. 900
q year BY 1850. The president em-
phasized the states could contribute
more than their SIS share.
