SILVER CURRENCY
RECALLED BY ITALY
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, June 1S.-The Italian gov
ernment tonight ordered the recall Of
silver money circulating in the
country. Oficial and financial
circles said the reason for the drastic
monetary step was the ever greater
necessity for supplies Of this metal
in connection with Italy's prepara-
tions for possible hostilities In
Ethiopia.
A contributing factor. 1t was stated,
was the United States silver pur-
chasing policy. which has greatly in
creased the value Of the metal both
here and in East Africa.
The coins withdrawn from circula-
ton, Of 5, 10 and 20 lire, will be re-
placed by paper notes.
No estimate as TO the amount Of
silver that will fiow into the national
treasury in consequence of today's
decree was available.
War In Africa is regarded as almost
inevitable in many quarters here, and
Italy will have some 225,000 men,
including soldiers and workmen, in
her colonies by Fall. Hence large
amounts of silver coins will be neces-
sary for increased activity there.

that the work thus initiated would be
productive. At the same time, by in
sisting upon payment of prevailing
wage rates we would assure the worker
of enough income for normal support
and the stimulation of consumer
goods which would result. Also. it
would eliminate the controversy over
relief rates and get us some action.
Confers With Byrns.
"If a local department store. for in
stance. took on so extra statesmen they
would be paid the same as other sales
men in the store. And If their efforts
resulted in suficient increase in sales
to pay their salaries, it would cost the
Government nothing"
Representative Mitchell's plan now
Is to discuss the IDEA with his fellow
Tennessean, Speaker Byrns, in an
effort to get some administration
favor for the bill. Also. he said, he
will discuss it at once with Chairman
Buchanan, Texas Democrat, Of the
Appropriations Committee, seeking
favorable committee action on the
measure.
Already, he said, he has submitted
a copy Of it to Senator Pat Harrison,
Mississippi Democrat and chairman oi
the Senate Finance Committee, who
has admitted an interest in the plan
and promise to look into it further
as soon as the social security program
is approved by the Senate.
Meanwhile, he said, one or two OF
those high in administration circles
have expressed the opinion that the
scheme might be the means Of speed
ing the work-relief program.

PROVIDENCE, r. =, June 15.--
DR.. Karl T. Compton. president oi
Massachusetts, Institute Of Tech
nology, condemned the Wheeler Ray
burn holding company bill, passed by
the United States Senate and now
pending in the House, at Brown Uni
versity Graduate School convocation
here today.
He asserted the bill ignored Ger
ing company organization" and
failed to provide "the bsst practicable
solution TO the public utility problem
which would eliminate the abuses and
retain the advantages of the holding
company system"
The holding company measure. he
said, was an example Of the lack OF
an objective and constructive ap-
proach to present-day problems. He
pleaded for that pattern OF thinking
which leads us spontaneously to take
a judicial view Of all sides Of situa-
tions and then to act in accordance
with our best independent judgment u
DR.. Compton said that in the bill
there Is no discussion or even admis-
sion of certain inherent advantages
of the holding company organization
such as distribution of risk, protect
ing alike investors and consumers
basic economies in operation, i'm
proved service, cheaper and quicker
financing"
He said a judicial and constructive
approach to the problem by the legis-
lators was greatly to be desired, since
a solution that would protect legiti-
mate interests of investors and reduce
abuses to minimum has been
shown to be possible"

BOAT CLEARANCE
ASKED FOR SPAN
Canal Firm Says K Street
Bridge Must Provide for
Water Traffic.

Canal boats that no longer operate
on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
may cause the District Government
to redraw its plans for the projected
new bridge across Rock Greek at X
street. because the carrier Is insisting
on its legal rights to have sufficient
clearance for water traffic. The n1u-
nicipality wants to construct the
bridge II 1t can secure the necessary
public works funds and get the sane
ton of the Army Engineers.
The Commissioners, 1t developed yes
terday, have produced bridge plans
that are one and half feet less than
the clearance now existing. and to this
the canal company objects. H. r.
Preston, one of the surviving trustees
of the company. and @. L. Nicolson.
general manager Of the carrier, told
First Lieut.. william J. Matteson, War
Department District engineer for the
Washington area. that they insist
that suitable clearance under the
structure be maintained
This must be. they contended, so no
resumption of canal boat trafic would
be hindered or prevented. In the old
days, the canal boats used to go out
into the Potomac River. just down.
stream of K street, and when coming
in, Travelled a short distance in Rock
Greek and then into the canal locks
near the Georgetown water front, up
stream of K street.
Rail Removal Asked.
There were those who think the
railroad tracks should be removed
from K street, which in recent years
has become a heavily Travelled thor
oughfare. with the completion of the
nearby Rock Greek and Potomac
Parkway.
The District Government proposes to
build a three-arch masonry structure,
with 5c-foot roadway and two g.
foot sidewalks. As Rock Greek is con-
sidered a navigable stream, the United
States Engineer ONCE has to consider
the new bridge. Old stories state that
vessels used to ascend Rock Creek to
old Lyons mill, the foundation ruins
Of which can be seen north Of the @
street bridge, off1cials recalled.
Canal Firm Represented.
The only special interest represented
at the hearing was the Chesapeake &
Ohio Canal Co. Authorities said that
while the canal has been out Of service
since the flood Of 1924, the company
officials were insistent on their rights
that nothing be done to interfere with
the clearances for the canal boats.
The new K street bridge would
replace the present unsatisfactory
structure leading into the Georgetown
water front. This is considered a ma
jor thoroughfare, over whic. some Of
the heaviest trucking in the District
Is done. The present bridge Is d.
vided into two roadways, both single
lanes. The girders are so high above
the street level that it is considered
dangerous, due to impaired vision.

Tennessee Democrat to

Bill in Congress.
Plan You'd Provide Re.
imbursemert to En-.
plOyers by U. S.

r NDICTING the dole and work-re-
lief systems as sedatives only in
the treatment of unemployment,
l. Representative John r. Mitchell,
Democrat, of Tennessee, declared
yesterday he will begin immediate
ly attempts to force passage Of his bill
providing for creation of stabiliza-
ton employment fund out of the
$4,000, 100000 work-relef appropria-
ton.
The TenneSsean's unique plan. en-
braced In bill now before the House
Appropriations Committee, directs the
President to deposit Sl.000.0o0,oo0 In
the so-called stabilization fund. The
next step would be the drawing Of
agreements with private employers by
which they would consent to add to
their pay rolls as many workers as
they might reasonably hope to keep
occupied. At the end Of q stated
period, probably a full year, q check
would be made of company earnings
and expenses, and If the personnel ex-
pansion is found to have caused net
loss, reimbursement would be made
to the company from the hillion-dollar
Government reserve.
Prevailing Wage to Hold.
On the other hand, If the business
enterprise cooperating Is found to
have increased It's earnings as a result
of increasing It's pay rclls and produc-
ton, no adjustment with the Govern
ment would be necessary, employment
would have increased and everybody
would be happy. Wages for those
given employment through this scheme
would be at the prevailing rate for
their occupation and location, an i'm
portant objective OF the plan. Mitchell
points out.
The dole has done some good" the
Representative admitted yesterday
while discussing his measure, but
we've got to get away from it If pos
sible. The work-relief program as
now contemplated has found its ad-
ministrators pulling at cross purposes
with nothing accomplished. This
plan would give men private employ
ment, not public. And private en-
ployers, living by creed Of profitable
activity. would see as far as possible
