PATMAN URGES
U.s.. To BUILD
APARTMENTS
Would Have Government Sup
ply Living Quarters at
Low Cost to Workers

Government constructed living
quarters for Federal employees in
Washington was viSualized today
by Representative Wright Pat.
man CD, of Texas, as a likely
result of the proposed congress
sional investigation of local rents
which he is sponsoring.
The Texan feels that a local
rent investigation would conclu-
Sively show the need for such an
enterprise under which reason
ably priced living quarters of va
rious sizes to meet the needs Of
both high and low salaried EN-.
ployes of the Federal Govern
ment would be built.
If such a project were under
taken, he pointed out, persons
other than Government employees
who live in the District likewise
would find their rents reduced
because of the oversupply Of liv-
ing quarters which would ensue.
He added:
II think you would find If
the Government would con.
struct houses and apartments
for the Federal employees that
the rents Of the privately owned
properties would be decreased
until in many cases they would
compete with the Government
constructed properties for the
Federal employe business"
Last Saturday, Mr.. Patman sent
to all members of the House a let
ter asking whether or not they
would indorse a proposal for a
congressional investigation Of local
rents. Since that time he has re-
ceived many responses, all approx.
ing the idea and some making
grave charges against what they
term the high rents charged here.
When he brought the matter
before the House District Commit
tee yesterday, that body instructed
it's chairman, Representative Mary
T. Norton CD, of New Jersey, to
confer with the chairman of the
Senate District Committee, Sena.
tor William H. King CD, Of Utah,
with veiw to calling a joint meet.
ing of the two committees to de-
termine what action shall be
taken concerning the complaints
which have been made against the
high rents here.

1886 RELIEF SUMS
T0SPUR CAMPAIGN
RooseveIt's Decision on
How Much to Spend May
Be Large Issue.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's decision on
how much to spend for relief next
year may be a talking point in the
1886 campaign.
That decision is the most important
now facing him in preparing next
years budget. Administration officials
already have indicated expenditures
for normal Government activities will
be about the same as this years.
Mr. Roosevelt disclosed yesterday
that he is asking industry for sug-
gestions on taking up the slack be-
tween production and tagging pay
rolls and employment. He said gen.
eral indices on outside employment
indicate that while production Is
back to about 80 per cent of 1929
levels. the number of persons en-
ployed is around 80 per cent and
wages around IA per cent.
No Definite Answer Yet.
Industry so far has not yet come
forward with a definite answer for this
problem, the executive added. H ex-
planned that he is asking opinions of
individuals, but does not plan a gen.
eral conference of industrial leaders,
such as the one called during N. r.
AS existence.
In his recent budget summary the
President said: The prevailing rate
of recovery points to the speedy de-
cline of Federal expenditures for emer-
gency activities" He said he was seek
ing to decrease ''the spread between
income and outgo."
The reply of the American Liberty
| League, one of the Severest critics of
the administration fiscal policies, was:
Beyond a general tone of optimism,
nothing in the Presidents comments
justifies confidence that the submis-
sion of the new budget next January
will mark a return to sound fiscal
policies"
Sees Spending Continuing.
Noting probable new demands for
continued heavy spending. the league
added: 1T is. therefore. apparent that
unless underlying policies are sharply
| changed there will be a strong ten
| dency to spend as much in the fiscal
| year, 1887 as in 1886"
Doubt that emergency expenditures
would decrease next year also was
expressed by Representative Bolton
of Ohio. chairman of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee.
Administration spokesmen say the
curtailment of emergency eXpendi-
/ lures depends on absorption of the
unemployed by private industry. They
agree that some of the relief spending
will have to continue for years. but
contend the Treasury can stand that
IN view of expected increases in
revenue.

For six years Middlesex County citi-

The amateur hunters go about their

INDIANAPOLIS, October 3l.-The

Paris to London to New York. Under
normal conditions and with the exist
ing exchange situation, there would
be no question about that. But
private importers of gold have hesi-
tated to assume the risk of having
shipments on the seas at time when
the Supreme Court decision on the
gold clause is momentarily expected.
Their fear, logically, is that an adverse
decision might cause the price of gold
to fall overnight-measured in dollars.
Wall Street had assumed that recent
importations of gold which could not
be traced to private account were due
to the fact that the stabilization fund
took over the normal function OF ex-
change bankers Mr.. Morgenthau's
statement put the satisfying seal Of
fact upon this assumption.
But, of course, there is still room
for questioning whether his phrase,
"as long as necessary" will be modi-
fed in the event of an adverse gold
clause decision. 1t is difficult TO
escape reading into it, however, an
implied intention to maintain the de-
valuation of the dollar by such meas
ures as may be necessary to meet a
ruling against the Government.

spondence destroyed"
Apparently the exchange. on a
modified scale, intends to continue its
present method of selection Of nom
inees The modification consists OF
the two special meetings, at which all
partners of stock Exchange firms will
have chance to name their choice.
This is step toward giving the Of
fee partners Of Stock Exchange firms,
who are in constant contact with the
public, a voice In the selection of the
nominees. Whether these partners will
be allowed to vote on the nominees at
the annual election, on the second
Monday Of May, remains 10 be seen.
Selection of exchange officials by
acclaim or popular vote has much to
commend it in the way of directly
expressing majority opinion
Whether such a method of selection
will obtain worthwhile candidates is
quite another matter.
There are number Of ve.y popular
brokers who could command sufficient
votes to swing an election, but the
very qualifications that made them
popular might make them poor ad-
ministrators. The public and poll
ticians too often emphasize person
ality rather than character-persuas
iveness and pleasantneSs rather than
ability.
