WASHINGTON. May H. Up
Secretary Morgenthau's speech de-
claTtng that the American dollar Is
absolutely sound" and that the
United States Is mot unwilling TO
stabilize under certain conditions
was widely regarded Tuesday as an
official New Deal reply to critics
who assert that an end to monetary
uncertainty Is needed TO restore con-
fidence.
In Wall Street. as here. a principle
question talked over Tuesday was the
probable effect OF the speech ON the
much-diScussed restoration on as
eurances as to the future Of the dol
lar. In New York's financial COM
munity. some bankers and econo-
mistS said the speech should help
restore confidence, while others said
they saw little meaning in II.

speech portendS was not made
known All indications from admins
traticn sources have been that stab
tlization was q topic for some time
IL the future rather than the i'm
mediate present. Morgenthau'S
speech was taken as a sign that the
United States does not intend TO act
singly for international sterilization.
"The world should know" he said
Monday night, that when II is ready

ton, Washington will not be an OBJ
stacle. Our position was that Of an

not start. and from which We could
not escape.
Why should we be singled out and
admonished that the moral duty TO

fore we make any commitments, we
must be sure that we will not lose
what we have Just regained.
I'VE are not unwilling TO stabilize.
However, II the great trading nations

change sterilization. II that can be
achieved. the final step should come

Another theme running through
the secretary'S speech was his con-
tention that the Roosevelt monetary
policies saved the United States
from disaster. Hitting the Hoover
administration on the ground that
Il "stubbornly refused" 10 take action
when gold left the United States in
alarming amounts" In 1882. he said:

Returns After
Varied Journey

After giving courses at San Fran
cisco State college, after tour to
Alaska, after conferences with edu-
Gators throughout the state, Miss
Helen Thomas, county instruction
supervisor, is more certain than ever
that Imperial Valley is pretty fine
place.
For the third consecutive year
Miss Thomas has been on the sum-
mer school staff of the San Fran
cisco college, teaching courses in
one-teacher school management.
Miss Thomas conducted a demon
stration class for a one-teacher
school, teaching all the eight grades.
She also had class of adults, lin
tied to teachers of one or two teach
er schools, in which problems of
this type of teaching were featured.
After school Miss Thomas took
three-weeks' tour to Alaska and was
fortunate in being on the ship on
which Father Hubbard's tour ira
yelled, hearing his lectures and see
ing his pictures. While in Alaska she
visited the federal Indian school at
Chitina which she found fascinat-
ing.
On her return trip Miss Thomas
held conferences in various parts OF
the state and visited schools in San
ia Barbara, gaining many new ideas.
In Sacramento Miss Thomas, with
the aid of Merrill Gowdie of Bard.

PRESIDENT :
PLANS UNDER
NEW ATTACK

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. U.P)-
President Roosevelt's farm program
and constitutionality of acts on
which his new deal is based were
attacked from three quarters to-
day.
The American Liberty League,
complaining specifically against the
new potato control law, said "the
Soviet government could not have
devised a more complete system of
control of the activities of its sub
jects."
From the Brookings institution
came a report that the Agricultur-
al Adjustment Administration had
done little for the dairying and
livestock industries. 1t called at
tention Ito the danger of pressure
by political and group interests to
bring about artificially high price
levels which eventually might react
adversely to the producers them
selves"
The southern committee to up
hold the constitution announced it
planned to send delegates to the
next Democratic national conven-
ton to put down this insurrection
in our party against sound econ
omics and constitutional govern

Believed Caused By
Nazi Sympathizers

The Jewish-owned Parkfield hotel,
on which a swastika was painted
Friday night, was swept by fire
early today. Damage was estimat-
ed at $4,000
David Hurovitz, owner of the 40
room structure, declined to COM
ment on the possibility of a con-
nection between the appearance of
the Nazi symbol on the hotels sign
and the fire.
The hotel, built in 1887, recently
was closed for the season. 1t caters
largely to a Jewish clientele. AS
far as was known, there was no one
in the building when the fire start

IMPRISONMENT I
FOR LIFE METED
GUILTY WOMAN
Would Have Been First or
Her Sex To Be Hanged Un-
der California Laws.
MERRIAM ACTS
Makes No Further Comment
On Case After Issuance Of
Formal Announcement.

LONG BEACH, Calf, Sept. 16.
U.P)-Gov. Frank F. Merriam today
announced he was committing the
sentence of Nellie Madison, con-
Victed Observation-Disclosures, from
hanging to life imprisonment.
Mrs. Madison is in the Tehachapi
women's prison under conviction OF
Staying Eric Madison, film studio
technician. She would have been
the first woman to have been
hanged in California.
Governor Merriam made the an
nouncement without further COM
ment.
Il am announcing that am
committing the sentence of Nellie
Madison from hanging to life i'm
prisonment," he said.
Behind his announcement was a
dramatic story.
A. R. O'Brien, state prison di-
rector, revealed several weeks ago
that he had seen Mrs. Madison In
prison and lied like a gentleman"
informing her that Merriam would
not permit her to hang. OBrien
said he lied to her because of the
pitiful picture the doomed murder
ess presented.
Merriam, who had merely smiled
at the time, did not indicate today
whether his decision was influenced
in any way by the OBrien incident.
The governors announcement
came after the fight to save Mrs.
Madison from the gallows was
brought, for the second time, be-
fore the state supreme court.
Her former husband, William j.
Brown, an attorney, only last week
sought from the high court a writ
of coram nobis, designed to bring
about a complete rehearing of the
case. Previously, the supreme court
had declined to intervene.
Brown, her third spouse, has car
ried on a vigorous fight to save
from death the woman who alleg-
edly once tried to shoot him. All
domestic rancour was forgotten
when she stood before Superior
Judge Charles w. Fricke on July
6, 1884, and heard him pronounce
a sentence of death.

Other schools show a slight gain

the total is one under that of last

tiles are prepared for the usual
gain in attendance during the wh-
