NEWS SerVlc0)
Fortified by the Supreme Courts
gold rulings, the Administration
may start a huge bond conversion
campaign.
This was disclosed today by a
high official after q conference in
which the fiscal and legal experts
of the New Deal canvassed the eff
feet of the courts rulings and the
possibilities it opens for future &C.
ton.
With 14,500 million dollars in
Government securities containing
the gold clause, and 500 millions
in Liberty Bonds outstanding-as
found by the Supreme Court-the
conversion program would call for
eventual surrender of all. They
would be replaced by other bonds.
AS long as the gold cases were
under consideration and there was
a possibility that Liberty Bond
holders could claim a SO per cent
premium, fiscal experts said. A
bond conversion program was
hopeless.
Hope For Premium
There remained the possibility
that some Liberty Bondholders
might try to. retain them in.
definitely in the hope that, since
the high court held that Con-
gress stepped beyond its proper
bounds in abrogatiing the gold
clause, they might collect pre-
MUM.
Even though this hope was said
by high officials to be impossible
Of realization, a bond conversion
program may offer slight induce
ment to the bondholders to accept
other issues.
With many OF the bonds issued
under the wartime acts coming
due in the next few years, the
Treasury, it was said, wants to re.
place them with new 2O-year is
sues.
The gold abrogation law, which
was before the high court, pro-
hibitS issuance of bonds with
promise to pay in gold in the fu-
ture.
Thus, unless another Congress
or Administration repeats the law,
the gold clause question will not
rise again.

Two other questions arising
from the courts ruling were being
considered. They are:
Can foreign governments claim
a SO per cent premium on Liberty
bonds?
Can foreigners holding private
American bonds also claim the
premium?
Whatever the legal answer to
the first question is, there was a
possibility that the Administration
would offer premium to foreign
governments holding bonds. A
precedent was established when
the Philippine government was
paid a $25,OOO,OOO premium on
money deposited in the Treasury
at the time of devaluation.

GARRETT
D. c. Prosecutor Says He Has
Prosecuted Only Two Cases
During Term of Office

Visibly shaken by barrage of
questions, District Attorney Les
lie c. Garrett, appearing before
a special House committee in
vestigating the crime situation in
Washington, startled his inquisi.
tors with an admission that he
has participated in handling only
two criminal cases since he as
sumed office.
The District Attorney, percepti'
bly, annoyed at times by the line
Of questioning, fatty refused to
answer several queries put to him
by the committee.
Frequently he exploded:
what has this to do with
the crime situation in Wash
mgtOn?"
The committees counsel, DR..
John r. Fitzgerald, dean of Co
lumbuS University Law School,
pummeled his witness with a
long series of questions fired in
rapid succession. DR.. Fitzpatrick
was a former employee in the
District Attorneys office,
In Cannon Case
Mr.. Garrett told the commit
tee he appeared in court to prose
cute the defendant in the. 1s,ac.
colo murder case and in the con
spiracy case of Bishop James
Cannon. He said he appeared in
Police Court on only one occasion.
Committee members were Wis
IDLY amazed by the admissions.
Asked by counsel if any com.
plant had been lodged against
his assistants, Mr.. Garrett re.
piled:
"The only complaint I ever
had was from Judge Proctor
concerning John r. Fitzpatrick,
. former assistant district at
t0rney.
Mr.. Garrett said DR.. Fitzpatrick
had opposed continuance of the
Buccolo murder case and that
Judge Proctor had complained of
his attitude toward the court.
Mum On Charges
He was asked to discuss details
OF the charges made against DR..
Fitzpatrick. He said:
II don't think it's up to this
committee to inquire into details
Of what the court told me. I
Insist this has nothing to do
with the crime situation in
Washington. I was told Fitz-
patrick was fmpudent and in

Questions were then asked con.
corning the method of issuing
warrants in the Police Court. Mr.,
Garnett said he did not go to
Police Court, and that he was un.
familiar with the methods used
there.
Some evidence of Mr.. Garnett's
feelings toward the committee was
cleaned from his parting shot at
the end of the morning session:

made a collective guinea pig
for a decisive test Of the real
position Of big industry labor
under NRA.
Beyond local questions Of wages

grievances, lie two big questions:
Have outside unions the right,
and the ability, to organize the big
industries? Have those industries
the right, and the ability to sponsor
local organizations Of employees that
fulfill their rights under NRA?
Those are the real questions at
stake here. and that is why the i'm

tant to steel and automobiles as to
rubber.

TUE RTTLLET No SOLUTTON

The misguided man who shot Sen
ator Huey Long Of Louisiana gave
an object lesson of the kind Of thing
which the American people must alb.
hor and try to prevent. Our fathers
established a government which was
to be ruled by laws, which laws
should be made and enforced by rep
resentatives chosen by the people.
When any other method of getting
the country ruled is chosen, we de-
part from the principles on which
our country has had 146 years Of
successful life.
Probably the great majority of the
American people do not agree with
the idea which Senator Long stands
for. But 1t would not seem that he
could have obtained the power he
has held in Louisiana, unless he had
been supported by the majority of
the voters of his state. If the peo-
pie of Louisiana like those ideas, the
rest of the country is hardly in a
position to interfere.
If some violent man tries to kill
some official, and that official should
come up for reelection, he would re-
ceive many more votes because peo-
pie would feel sympathy for him, and

QUITTING SCHOOL

A prominent educator remarks
that the high schools of his state are
crowded. and he thinks they will re-
main so indefinitely, since the young
people of that age can find nothing
to do. This condition is much the
same in other states, including Del
aware.
The times have changed since the
days when Junior could easily land
a job that would place a few jingling
dollars in his pocket Saturday night.
In his mind. it was a more wonderful
thing to have some loose change
with which to take the girl friend to
the shows, than to fit himself for a
good lifelong job.
So countless boys used to become
restless about the age when they got
interested in the young ladies. Had
these fair charmers been less fasci-
mating, many American boys would
have a better education today.
But the fault for this idea of leav-
ing school too early can't be loaded
off on the girl friends. They like to
be toted around to the shows, but
they have sense enough to know that
a boy should fit himself for life.
Many other causes induce boys to
quit too early. Many of them just
had to go. to help their parents.
Many others quit because they were
born tired, and books made their
heads ache.
1t is not wholly a calamity if boys
md girls of that age can't find jobs.
