QUESTION And ANSWER DATA
ON GOLD CLAUSE PROVISIONS

WASHINGTON. Feb. Is. tUR) -
The gold cases decided by the su-
preme court today involved some of
the most intricate and important
questions to come before the court
in many years.
The following questions and an
swers present simplified explana-
ton of the complex issues.
c. What are the gold cases? A.
The gold cases involve the so-called
gold clause of government and pri-
vate obligations such as notes, bonds
and other promises to pay money.
c. What is the gold clause? A.
The gold clause is a provision writ
ten into the promise to pay by
which the persons who borrowed
the money agrees to repay it, and
interest on it at certain specified
time in dollars of a given amount
of gold of certain standard of
fineness.
@. How was the weight and quail
ity of the gold decided on. A. 1t is

SENT
HUEY LONG

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. WP)-
Sen. Huey P. Longs secretary an
nounced today that a crlHe and
apparently home made bomb had
been received at the senator IS off,
ice today.
Postal inspectors we're called in
and took charge of the investiga-
ton. The device was received
through the mails and bore a post
mark believed to be Bedford,
Conn.,
Members of Long IS staff said the
explosive was crudely made. 1t was
contained in a cardboard box about
four by six inches in size. Inside
the box was a small glass bottle
with a needle plunged through the
cord. This was attached to wires
leading to a small dry cell.
Apparently it was intended to
explode upon opening. 1t failed to
operate, however.
Long was not in his office at the
time the apparent bomb was receiv-
eel, being enroute to Washington
from New York.
Imperial Valley press., 1935-02-18

the weight In the dollar used in the
old gold standard, namely 25.8
grains of gold of nine-tenths fine
hess for each dollar.
@. Why was this standard of re-
payment adopted? A. 1t was adopt
ed because gold as currency can
not be varied as a medium of cur
rency as easily as other coins or
paper money can be varied. The per-
son who loaned the money sought
assurance that he would not be re-
paid in paper money that might
have deprecated in value. Gold
itself f1uctuates in value, but not as
much as paper money has at times
IN history.
O. Why was the promise to repay
in gold not met? A. Because con-
gress had decided that the currency
must be revalued by revaluing the
dollar in terms of gold. This was
done when the President reduced
the content to Is 2-21 grains of gold
to the dollar
@. How did the gold clauses in
terfere? A. BY obliging the borrow
er to repay 25.8 grains for every dol
lar, which in terms of the cheaper
gold dollar, required the repayment
of $1.69 for every dollar borrowed.
@. How much was this in the ag-
gregate? A. 1t would have required
Sl69, 900, 100000 to pay debts estimat-
ed at face value at 100000, ,000, 900.
@. Do the owners of gold bonds in
the court cases ask gold? A. No.
They do not claim gold because all
gold has been called in to the UNI
ted States treasury. They ask the
equivalent in currency or $l.69 in
any legal tender.

kEMNAMER ON
WITNESS STAND

PAWNEE, Okla, Feb. Is. U.P)-
Phil Kennamer today began telling
rural jury his own story of how
and why he killed John Gorrell, Jr.,
his friend, last Thanksgiving night.
A yelling, fighting crowd ripped
off court room door in its eager
ness to hear the defendant, son of
u. S. Judge Franklin E. Kennamer.
The mob picked up deputies and
bailiffs bodily and pushed them
aside. Half of the thrill seeking
spectators were women.
Miss Virginia Wilcox, beautiful
Tulsa oil heiress, battled her way
to the front row of spectators to
hear the youth she had spurned
testify that he killed Gorrell, a den
tai student, to save her from an ex-
tortion plot. Gorrell had instigated
this plot in which her life had been
threatened, Kennamer claims.

the $4,000.
@. Does 1t include the Fisch ac-
count? A. It includes the Fisch &C
count but in my name.

MCDONALD IS BEING
TAKEN SERIOUSLY
He Is Rambling Right Along
and Opposition Realizes
He Is in Race
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir walter Hotel.
v 7 G. BASKERVILLE.

Raleigh. Nov 7-Dr. Ralph w. MIC
Donald, of WinstOn-Salem, like the
Gord in the old song, continues to
"ramble right along" in his campaign
for the Democratic nomination for
governor, according to most of the re-
ports reaching here from various
parts of the State. He may not be
making as much progress as these
reports indicate and as his friends
and hackers say he is. But he is max
ing more than his opponents and their
supporters like to admit, observers
agree, and most of these are now TAX
ing his campaign much more seri-
ously than they were several weeks
ago.
Indications are that Clyde r. Hoey,
of Shelby, and his advisors have al
ready decided that Mcdonald is a
dangerous opponent, and likely to be-
come the biggest stumbling block in
Hoey's path to the nomination. Re-
ports heard during the past week or
so are to the effect that the Hoey
strategists at the present time are
trying to figure out some way to
check McDonald's progress. 1t is
known that during the past week
Hoey started a direct mail campaign
by sending out several thousand let
ters to travelling men over the State
outlining his platform and asking
their support. There are also indi-
cations that he is planning to start
his speaking campaign earlier than
he had planned, evidently in an eff
fort to offset the progress which Nc
Donald is reported to be making. Mr..
Hoey has been here for several DAYS
in connection with some cases before
the Supreme Court But it is believ-
ed he has also de|oted some time to
the holding of political conferences.
The belief in most circles here is
that Lieutenant Governor A H.
SANDY Graham is not taking the
candidacy of Mcdonald as seriously
as Hoey is. and that he is not doing
much at the present time in an eff
fort to offset it. Many of the Ora
ham supporters believe that MCDon-
aids present gains are only temper
ary, tht he is reaching his peak too
soon and that much of the present
following he is supposed to have will
dwindle away when the campaign
becomes more advanced. Othess.
however are considerably concern
ed and feel that unless Graham does
something soon that he may have
hard time later on.

efforts to negotiate peace.
He found cooperation in London,
where foreign office officials indicat-
ed II Duce and Sir Erich Drummond,
British ambassador in Italy, will dis
cuss concrete proposals for allaylng
the tenseness between Italy and Brl-
tain in the Mediterranean.
Today the German government dis
closed it had gone further than de-
Gliding to forbid profiteering. A for
eign office spokesman disclosed the
third reich had placed an embargo on
shipments of arms and ammuni-
ton to the belligerent nations even
before the, League acted.
AS to trade in general, the spokes-
man declared:
1--WE hope to continue the normal
sale of our products in Italy. 1t is
the abnormal which may result from
sanctions placed by other countries
that we are aiming at.
"Our neutrality policy is not af-
fected. We are neither siding with
the League nor with Italy"
