The spacmodic waves Of distrust
apparently are sponsored by New
Dealers themselves. For instance, Ger
tain Treasury officials dropped a few
disparaging remarks about the silver
policy before Senator McCarran wrote
a letter to Mr.. Morgenthau some weeks
ago asking if he was living up to the
law.
The most recent wave apparently Is
traceable to an article published in
one of the New Deals own maya
zines, criticizing the silver policy
gently. It lis generally believed that
one of Mr.. RooSevelt's good advisers
has lately changed his mind and no
longer sees economic possibilities in
the policy.

A|RMA|L DEADLOCK
HALTSlEG|SLAT|ON
Conferees Cannot Agree on
Increased Rates for
Contractors.

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional leaders acknowledged
today that they are deadlocked over
airmail legislation.
Last January 81 President Roosevelt
suggested new airmail legislation
should be passed before March l. 1895,
when certain airmail contracts ex-
pired. The legislation has not been
passed. however. and the contracts
have been extended temporarily.
Today Chairman Mcclellan of the
Senate Postal Committee said he did
not know whether such legislation
would be enacted at this session or
not.
It's all up in the air" he said.
Chairman Mead of the House Postal
Committee said:
We have been unable to agree in
conference on increases in rates for
airmail contractors. Either the Senate
or the House will have to recede."
Lines Declared Suffering.
Postmaster General Farley asserted ::
Il think there will be airmail legis-
lation this session. Some of the lines
are in bad shape financially and need
increases in rates"
The two committee chairmen said
the impasse was over the House pro-
posal to grant an increase in rates to
lines which receive compensation de-
srrihad &c ,Inrao sono hlv low The in
crease would range up to 20 per cent.
or a maximum of 48 cents an air
plane mile.
Il can't agree to that" Mcclellan
said.
In the interests of safety some
lines should be granted a 20 per cent
increase" Mead declared.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
SIGN, which would be granted rate
adjusting power under bills pending
in Senate and House, already has rec
commended that certain increases be
given. This drew fire from Mcclellan
Examination Held Needed.
THE Interstate Commerce Com
mission made those recommendations,
to be retroactive to March l, without
having made proper and complete
examination of the books of the con-
tractors" he asserted. Hence I do
not believe those increases should be
given"
Mead contended that the I. C. C.
recommendation was based on "a
reasonable" analysis of the companies
records.
The average bid rate for airmail
transportation now in operation is q
cents an 'airplane mile. The statu-
tory limit is 1914 cents as a. base
rate, with a maximum compensation
of 40 cents for extra loads over 800
pounds. The Senate bill calls for a
continuance of these rate limits.

Silver Game Provides Bit
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
No Pessimist.
BY PAUL MALLON.


TINE peek-a-boo game which Mr..
Morgenthau is playing with
the silver spectators is the one
Il bright spot in an otherwise
humorless situation here.
Mr.. Morgenthau Is committed to bid
ding the existing 67-cent price of sill
yer up to S1.29. Ordinarily, you would
expect that every one who could lay
his hand on 81 cents would buy an
ounce of silver and be assured OF
almost 100 per cent profit.
But apparently no one will believe
Mr. Morgenthau, at least not con-
sistently. Some days ago, even the
spectators began to doubt that he
would do what the law requires him
to do. A break was threatened in
the London silver market. The specu-
lators started unloading around Sc
cents.
To proue they mere prong about
him. Mr.. Moroenthau Uent out and
bought 40 to so million ounces OF
their holdings.
It cost him about 100000. 1t
forced him to acquire in three days
nearly twice as much silver as the
United States produced in 1884. But
it satisfied the spectators that Mr..
Morgenthau is not going to let them
down.

Some one told Mr.. Morgenthau q
few days later that it would take him
IL years to acquire the promised 3-to-1
silver ratio with gold at his present
rate of buying. His comment was
asked
With customary frankness. Mr.. Nor
genthau unbuttoned his coat and re-
piled: do you know the difference
between an optimist and pessimist?"
Every one present did. but no one
told him, so he continued: "A peSsi-
mist wears both belt and suspenders.
From his preliminary gesture 1t
l0as apparent that he ,Cds not
weGring a belt, but. sweeping back
his coat in further burst of con-
fdence, he disclosed that he also
lacked suspenders
This, also. was encouraging to those
who have invested in silver, because
it proved Mr.. Morgenthau has far more
confidence than the ordinary man
about two things in life, one of which
is silver.
Given Further Proof.
That very day Mr.. Morgenthau re-
ceived further proof that some impor-
tant people believe him. even if some
of the other spectators have remained
unconvinced An item appeared in
newspapers that a syndicate composed
of John j. Rascob and Senator Key
Pittman was buying 5000 900 stake
in the old Comstock silver lode ir
Nevada.
The inside story on this was thai
Senator Pittman, known in Congress
as Silver Key" because he always
has the key to the silver policy. ha,
been retained as attorney in negotia-
lions for merging five silver firms. A
few of his Nevada friends, including
Zeb Kendall, old-time prospecting
character, and certain attorneys In.
terested Mr.. Raskob in the prospects
of Mr.. Morgenthaus silver policy to
an extent ranging between $300,00t
and $400, 0c0.
Pittman Is Policy Itself.
Senator Pittmans faith in Mr.
Morgenthau was understandable to al
insiders, because Pittman is the New
Deal silver policy. He conceived 1t
wrote the law under which 1t is being
conducted and is understood to be g
valued adviser to Treasury Genera
Counsel ELEPHANT in its administra-
ton. 1t is therefore obvious that Mr.
Raskob could not get an attorney who
knows and will know. more about the
subject.
But Mr. Raskobs display of faith
was not so obvious. The published
stories failed to recall that his last big
publicized investment was in the A
Smith campaign of 1928. Postmaster
General Farley's Democratic National
Committee still owes him $45 900 or
that.
1t has been suggested that, II Mr..
Raskob mere bfo-hearted, he toould
apply his expected profits from Mr..
Morgenthau's policy to canceltHg
the debt, but there seems to be
some question as to ho,r big Mr..
RdSkob's heart pets tohen the New
Deal is mentioned.

The House set out today to erase
from its calendar another measure
barring the way to adjournment. 1t
called up for debate the resolution to
prevent suit against the Government
for alleged damages arising out Of
dollar devaluation.
The measure, requested by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, was accompanied by
a rule limiting general debate to thres
hours Thus Democratic leaders hoped
for action soon.
Republicans in the House were
fighting the legislation. They have
contended it would damage Govern
ment credit and is too broad.
Administration spokesman have as
serted the Government might suffer
potential loss of 81 1000, 600 900 should
all holders OF Government securitie3
containing clauses providing for pay
ment in gold be able to prove they
had been injured by dollar devaluation.
AbrogatiOn Was Illegal.
In the gold clause cases the Supreme
Court held the Government acted
illegally in abrogating its promise to
pay of its securities in gold. but it
added that no damages had been
shown. 1t left the way open. however,
for suits by security holders who could
show damage.
