Administration
Determined to
SdUeNRA
By EARL GOODWIN

The rising tide Of opposition to
the continuance of the NRA,
which constitutes one of the most
difficult of the political obstacles
the New Deal has to meet, will be
met by Administration leaders
with as much firmneSS as the op-
position is now showing.
The fight on the NRA is typi-
fled entirely in the remarks of
Clarence Darrow, famous Chicago
lawyer, who told the Senate FL
nance Committee yesterday that
the Blue Eagle has been hard on
the poor man and easy on the
wealthy.
Political managers for the oppo-
sition believe they can whip up
tr m endous anti-New Deal
strength on just such an issue.
Donald Richberg, chairman Of
the Emergency Council, who has
the task of framing the new NRA
legislation, and who is the PreSi-
dents liaison officer in respect to
NRA legislation, admits freely that
he has superhuman task, but he
declares with emphasis that the
Administration will not yield to
the opposition and that the NRA
legislation will be put to and
through Congress as the President
suggested in his recent message.
Mr.. Richberg is especially inter
ested in the complaints that the
NRA has worked a hardship on
the small man." He was asked
about this phase of the pending
NRA legislation yesterday and in
reply he said:
"These complaints are not all
true, not by long shot. Much
Of 1t Is propaganda. But it is,
Of course, true that in the ex-
perimental stage. many very
small enterprises were pinched
because they could not pay
higher wages.
"NOw we don't want to hurt
people arbitrarily; and we don't
want sweat shop wages and
practices. The best answer I
know to the charge that the
NRA is uniformly hard on the
small man is the vast number
Of smaller enterprises in every
code which want the NRA con-
tinued. This will be brought out
in the hearings; and will be an
answer to much of the COM
plants YOU now hear"

ECCLES FACING
BANK DEFEAT
IN HOUSE

Gov. Mariner S. EccleS OF the
Federal Reserve Board today
faced a battle to prevent scut-
tling of his plan for reorganiza-
ton of the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn.
After Mr.. Eccles had ended 10
days of testimony before the
House Banking Committee, a
committee group planned to force
a vote on the question of post
poning action upon all Federal
Reserve changes during the pres.
ent session of Congress.
Authorizes Changes
The omnibus bill, on which
hearings are being held by the
House Banking Committee, in
cludes provisions making the
$4,000 limit of insured bank de-
posits permanent, the Federal Re-
serve revision and other changes
affecting national banks.
Opponents of the Eccles' pro-
gram demanded that the commit
tee separate the bill and seek
speedy passage of the Federal
Deposit Insurance program along
with other changes affecting ma
tional banks.
Changed conditions make neces-
sary revamping of the Federal
Reserve System as proposed in
the Administrations bill, T..
Jefferson Coolidge, Undersecre-
tary of the Treasury, testified
before the House Banking Com
mittee today. He said:
"Our control of money has
passed from the automatic
stage, because of the great
amount of excess reserves, into
condition where automatic
standards cannot, 1 believe, be
imprOvised which can be ex-
pected to work under the con-
ditiOns of the present or imme-
diate future"
FOES HAVE PROPOSAL
He favored liberalization of
law to permit national banks
to make longtime real estate
loans.
This divorce, it is admitted,
would virtually kill all chances of
the EccleS' so-called central
bank" program from being
enacted in the present session of
Congress.

International News Service
The United States is prepared
to sell gold to foreign countries
when a real need for this metal is
shown, Secretary Morgenthau said
today, following announcement Of
the sale of $4,000 ounces to Mex
leo to build up its monetary re-
serve.
This country has bought large
quantity of silver from Mexico,
somewhat depicting its reserve.
For this reason Mexico required
the gold.
Officials said the plan did not
contemplate a general redistribu-
tion of gold. Treasury experts de-
clined to say whether requests
from any countries for gold had
been declined.
No negotiations for the sale Of
additional gold are now under way.
Foreign countries, such as Can
ada and others, could pay for gold
with silver or commodities.

SUBSIDY FOR
z Bic LINERS
BY ALFRED T. NEWBERRY
International News Service

Two super-liners. comparing
with if not actually surprising
this type of foreign vessels
which have won 80 per cent Of
the American passenger traffic,
will be constructed with part 0f
the subsidy the Administration
intends to give the Merchant
Marine if Representative Sirovich
has his way.
The New York Democrat said
today that he will recommend
that a part of the subsidy be
given to some great concern to
build two vessels that will COM
pare with, or excel, Germany's S
Bremen, Italy's R"x, Frances
Normandy and the huge liner
Queen Mary Great Britain is
now constructing"
Representative Sirovich, mem
ber of the House Merchant Ma
rine Committee, charged with
drafting subsidy prog ram,
stated:
"COnStructlOn OF two OF tneSe
Super-liners would revitaliZe our
merchant marine and bring back
our national pride which van
ished with the old clipper sail
ships. Furthermore, they would
claim all the American paSsen-
ger traffic and put all Of these
IS or so foreign Super-linerS out
of business.
During wartime they would
give the Navy the fastest auxil.
iary transports they ever had"
Alfred H. Haag, of the Shipping
Board Bureau, admitted before
the committee he believed two
American super-linerS could be op'
Grated successfully, but he did not
say they should be built at pres
ent.
He proposed that 35 cargo YES
sells of IA knots speed be con-
Structed each year for the next
seven years, with an annual Fed
eral subsidy of $35, 100000, to pro-
vide modern ships in place Of the
present 282 American mail vessels,
80 per cent of which will be OBJ,
solete in 1912.

ANSWER TO ROLL CALL.

When the average person thinks of the Reo Cross' he pictures an emergency organization rushing to the scene of disaster or the battle front to give succor ln time of stress And it is a enough picture, but not the whole picture The Red Cross year around organization the sole purpose of which is helping humanity not only in time of catasrophy but every day of the year regardless of sex creed or color. M
 Here in Alaska we viyidly recall the valiant work the Red Cross did al during last years fire In recent weeks we have read of how the Red Cross on the job at Helena during the earthquakes there and in Florida when the hurricane left death and destruction in it's wake. It has been the same story on countless occasions. This mercy organization is always present to give aid to human kind
 But while it's work is great in time of disaster and in it's activities throughout the year in taking relief thousands. helping veterans widows orphans and carrying on a general program of human rehab iitation stamps it as the worlds outstanding mercy organization. The work the Red Cross did in helping destitute humans during the first stages of the omic depression that swept the country and before Government aid became universal thing, should go down in the records of the finest acts of philantrophy this nation has witnessed.
 Monday, Armistice Day, the Red Cross begins it's annual roll call which lasts until Thanksgiving Day Every person who believes in the golden rule of do unto others as you would have others do unto you' will have hestancy in contributing this noble cause by taking out membership.

Public Sentiment and Policy.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

(Clnclnnatl EnQulrerJ
 Usually large undertaking to muster public opin- ion for change of public policy discouraging in it's immediate results Mass demonstrations straw votes and the gathering of petitions rarely produce prompt response among the leaders who formulate official policy But such enterprises eventually carry some weight
 In speaking to the Foreign Policy Association re- gently MT Leland Stowe pointed out that an import factor in Great Britains vigorous policy at Geneva is the so-called peace pol' taken in England last spring In that unofficial poll taken by the British Brions not merely expressed their eager desire for peace but indorsed the active support of the League of Nations A great majority approved the use of economic sanctions to uphold the League Covenant
 There immediate result. But when the crisis months later at Geneva the British Gov ernment was able to embark a far-reaching and vigorous policy knowing that the great mass of the British people in sympathy. This has some m- portance for the United States, where unpreced- ented effort is being made to muster public opinion behind policy of peace.
 The petitions for peace now being widely cir culated through the country vague, and they do not give the sgners an opportunity to register choice of policies did the British peace poll" But even with these shortcomings, the enterprise seems a good one. It indicates in vivid way the course of peace Perhaps important of all such efforts bring vital problems to the attention of in dividual citizens, leading them to interest them selves keenly in national policies than make for peace

 Adverse aspects dominate today, according tn astrology. It is time when vexations and hampering in fuences may be active.
 In the morning encouraging news of many sorts may appear in the public press, for the autumn VIII reveal improvement in business and widespread readjustments in many lines of employment.
 This is a favorable day for inter- national understandings and for signing contracts. Again there IS to be an alignment of allies among the nations of the world.
 Labor continues subject to sinister influences, From $ m all disputes great troubles may be expected as the autumn advances.
 Uranus is in menacing place. The people will be susceptible to many suggestions endangering the stability of the nation.
 Mars and Jupiter close to the mag netic line of the poles stir imagina- ton and increase apprehensions. There are many i'll omens to disturb the peace of mind.
 From this year the white race may progress to highest attainments in civilization. or it may reach it's de- clining point, unless the powers of mind prevail over the brute in men, the seers point out.
 Japan is now subject to many stim- ulating influences and may execute surprising world maneuver; but the nativity of the emperor shown unfortunate directions that presage disaster to his dynasty.
 Persons whose birthdate it have the augury of year of perplexities. They should be extremely careful of their money.
 Children born on this day probably will be exceedingly far-seeing and ambitious. Subjects of this sign may be implsive but at the same time diplomatic and lucky.
 Edmund Haley, astromer, was born on this day 1856. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Sarah Fielding, author, 1721; Thom- as Manning, English traveller. l772; Frank Wiggins. publicist, 1849.

to one level and men use them rather than
 the middle of the street. Nome has become
 commonplace. It will take a lot of new gold
 whereabouts to draw the sourdough back or
 pull hither the most adventurous youth of
 the 30s
 True, the old Nome landmarks are gone in ashes and so too has gone of the glamour od the sos but it cannot be overlooked that Nome along with all Alaska is only in it's infancy far as future great ness goes. The ships will come again, to Nome and other parts of the North, and they will be crowded; crowded with those who looking forward and not backward And they will return to the States loaded with the millions in gold and. other riches yet un- tapped only to return again and again
 Let them in Missouri look to the 90s if they must but we in the North look to the future not satisfied to rest on the laures of gold rush days.
 In the words of the old sourdough, Nome will always be Nome"
The Daily Alaska empire., 1935-11-07
NOME WILL ALWAYS BE NOME.

From far away Missouri comes the following int sting comment of the Kansas City Star under [ tie Nome Has Lost Its Lure":
 Never again, unless gold is rediscovered right at hand will ships bound for Nome be crowded. That once famous city, which held first pages in newspapers in the latter years of the last century, burned in 1884 and has been rebuilt this year Its remaining citizens proud of the Nome with it's wider streets, in trim new buildings. Probably it has concrete sidewalks, bright signs; probably there are gold-lettered windows which tell of tea "shoppes" croquignoe permanents and 3.2 beer
 But the joy and pride are confined to Nome. There is no joy here in the States over the rise of the new city on the ashes of the old. The present Nome population is a disappointment.
 In the heart of every vigorous boy reared in the States in the sos and fired by the tales of riotous living along the main street of Nome, there was consuming desire to get to that alluling place by hook or crook. Some of the youths actually left school and did it. Meme was of much greater interest to the bud ding man of that day than is Ethiopia or any other center of activity now. It stood for Nature and manhood in the raw.
 And they have rebuilt Nome along sane lines, probably giving it the tame ap- pearance of scores of our own more primitive cities in the West. The irregular property line the main street has gone the glar- ing signs on plank and clapboard indicating long -outlawed proceedings within were burned away and the sidewalks have been reduced

After days of desultory fighting, sharp battles began again on the Eastern front, with many casualties reported On both sides of conflict. Germany is retreating, say dispatches received in London, and the Russian army has been steadily victorious to the north. Belief that the German source of supplies had been cut off in some unforseen fashion was be- lieved from tae steady retreat man. ifested in their lines. Bombardment planes riddIad the trenches steadily all day. On the Western front French lines dug deeper into the trenches and held solidly despite dogged nustong by German lines.
