 Tn his veto message he said:
 "The bill authorizes appropria- tion of $500,000, or so much there of as may be necessary, to enable the secretary of commerce to con- duct investigations and experi- ments for the determination of ths best methods to control the leech, starfish, borer and other pests in- furious to oysters, clans, and scal- lops in the waters of the Atlantic and Gulf States, immediately to apply control measures, and to make payments for the removal of these pests in such amounts and under such regulations as he may prescribe.

Gold Siluer Stocks
 Roar To High Record
New Deal Policies Caused All Time High Mark-Over Third of Worlds Gold and Quarter of the
 Silver Are in United States
BY RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY ( United Press Stan CorrcspOndent)

Washington, Feb. 29-(UP)- The nations gold and silver stocks scared to all-time record highs today as the result of New Deal fi- nancial policies. More than third ofthe worlds monetary gold and nearly quartetr of the worlds monetary silver was in the U. s. Treasury or in circulation in this country.
 Total government gold resources surpassed the hoard of 242,622,157 ounces held in September, 1881, when abandonment of the gold Rstandard by Great Britain sent a huge flood m of the, metal to the United States.
 Then the gold hoard was valued at 5,00O,0O0 on the basis of $20.67 an ounce. On the present basis of $35 an ounce the value would be $S. 1895. On Feb. 20, U. s. gold stocks were valued at $S,4S9,O39,S16, but recent i'm portations have carried the value and weight above the September, 1891 record peak.
 The treasury today listed its to- tai gold holdings as of February 21 at $8.519,455, 5,005. a gain of $1,489,- S85,779 since February 1, 1894, when the present priceof $35 per ounce was established.
 American gold holdings, riisns at the rate of millions of dollars daily, were more than a third the total world monetary old stocks of 21,745, ,000,000. American officials saw, little likelihood of halt in growth of the American holdings.
 Along with the huge accumula- ton of gold, thetreasury reported today that silver monetary stocks had reached a record total of 797,- 100000 ounces, worth approxi- mately $1,00O, 100000 at the pres ent coinage value of $1.29 an ounce.
 Both the huge accumulation of silver and gold are direct results of financial policies of the Roosevelt administration and both hoards show gains of tens of millions of ounces since President Roosevelt took office nearly two years ago.

CLOSED SHOP IS
 GIVEN BODY BLOW

New York, Feb. 25.-(UP) .-The closed shop received a severe blow today when Supreme Court Justice Salvatore A. Cotillo granted an in- Junction. prohibiting the Retail Cloak, Suit, Dress and Fur Sales Peoples Union from picketing the store of k. A. Freed & Company.
 The jurist held that the union was unfair in demanding a closed shop in the selling fielld since "the regimentation of a closed shop would act as deterrent to the initiative and ambition of em- ploycs."
 His decision was believed to be without precedent in its effort to define what types of employees might form unions.
 Employment within the field Of retail distribution affords an op- portunity for individual enterprise possibly greater than that in any other craft" Justice Cotillo ruled. '"These talents which make for suc- cess and individual prograss are elusive and yet real and demon strable only under reasonable lib erty of individual action.
 '"ro compel the selection of trades people to depend upon the whim or rules of labor union as would be the case under a closed shop, would result in the strangula. ton of all effort on the part of snch stores to develop and main tain an efficient organization for the purpose of satisfying the de- sires of the purchasing public"

Some Members Are Get ting Out of Hand d-Plen-

BY H. o. THOMPSON

Copyright, 1885 by United Press)
 Washington, Feb 25--Congress came to U virtual standstill today as the administration, facing its greatest legislative crisis, applied the brakes in an effort to prevent unruIy legislators from getting en- tirely out of hand.
 A policy of deliberate delay was decided upon as the new deal lead. ere sought to reassure the country against fears that senate and house revolts might lead to uncontrolled, radical legislation.
 With it's entire recovery program threatened as a result of the sem ate uprising on the work-relief bill. the administration counted up- on few days delay to help Pres. ident Roosevelt reassert his in- fiuence.
 Sudden Shut Down
 After a weekend of excited speculation, 1t was revealed that a sudden shutdown of congressional activity was decreed as means of preventing the senate, out of hand and disregarding the warnings of it's leaders, from embarking on discussion of imitation in connection with the $4,SS0, ,000,0OO relief bill.
 The Wheeler and Thomas amendments, both providing for currency expansion were in line for debate. Leaders feared that if they were taken up now, business and industry would become un- easy and progress toward improv- ed conditions would be halted.
 Because of those considerations. the work-relief bill was sent back to the senate appropriations com mittee for a fresh start. It will re- main there proba bly, all this week. awaiting some administration de-

SABOTAGE SENT
 AIRSHIP DOWN

Washington, Feb 25-UP)-Roy W. Knabenshue, pioneer airship expert. today told the house patents committee he believed sabotage was responsible for crashes of the dirigibles Macon and the Akron.
 Rear Admiral Ernest J. King, chief of naval aeronautics. gave partial credence to Knabenshue's s theory concerning the Macon, which crashed in the Pacific off Point Sur. Cal.
 "The sabotage theory" he said. lis always distinct possibility al- though not probable until an off, cial inquiry has determined the cause of destruction"
 Knabenshue refused to amplify his theory but dissolved officers in command of the aircraft. He sug- gested that the sabotage might have occurred while the craft was in flight.
 This theory. however, was dis puted by Commandant Herbert V. Wiley at Sunnyvale, Cal. He point ed out that officers inspected the part of the ship where the accident occurred within half an hour of the crash.
 Knabenshue did not suggest how sabotage of the Akron might have occurred but asserted his firm be- lief that this was the cause of the disaster.
