 A majority of congress ig opposed to new taxation. President Roose- veits strong hints in favor of new taxes and placing the problem of financing unbudgeted expenditures have left congress unmoved. Leaders say Q hat administration demand would be necessary to start action. patman Calls Meeting
 Representative Patnian, called Q meeting to-day of "all members of the house of representatives who are interested in using the idle gold and silver in the treasury as e basis for the issuance of new currency to be used to pay the veterans and the money they will collect on their ad- justed service certificates or the bonds they will receive in exchange therefore. instead of resorting to taxation"
 President Roosevelt has authority to Issue t7,000, 0o0,o00 In new cur. rency through:
 Printing of Ss,0oO.OoO,0o0 in United States notes, or "greenbacks", au- thorized under the Thomas aniend- Tnert to the AAA act in 1883.
 Issuance of e2,200, ,000, 900 In silver certificates against present idle gils yer in the treasury through devalu- ation of tho silver dollar to 90 per cent of It's present value.
 Colning of $i,808, 000,000 in new money by deyaiuing the gold dol- lar to 50 per cent of It's former con. tent from tho present b0.06 per cent.
 Despite congressional efforts to force the president to use his infie. tionary powers, 1t was emphasized in responsible quarters that the ad- miniStration has no intention of permitting monetary inhation In the place of new taxes.
 Trying to Block It

 This inaneuver, Senator Garter dlagg, D.. Va, said, would prevent house infiationigts from attaching their infiationary rider when the bonus appropriation reaches that body. The vote would be on accept. ance or rejection of senate amend cd bills already passed by the house.
 President Roosevelt, faced with . 936, 900 ,000, 900 public dsbt In tte next fiscal year, urged fiscal agents to plumb every revenue source for taxes variously estimated between 4OCO, ,O00,OOO and 9000, ,0OO,0O0 Q year.

] OBS OF 5000
T. ON CANAL
. IN PERIL

OCALA, Fla, March % Q.N.S). j..
Unless Congress votes further
funds for continuation Of work on
the Florida cross-state canal, June
/ will see 5000 men lay down their
tools and draw their last pay
checks.
The men will leave behind them
half q dozen Of the largest dig
aing machines in the world, Spe-
cially constructed on the canal
site, and countless tractors and
other digging equipment which
have been gnawing away at an
incision in central Florida since
last September. 10.
What will become of the 5000
workers is battling problem for
the State authorities. Most Of
them were recruited from the
States relief rolls and from tran
sient camps that since have been
discontinued. There will be no
place for them in WPA, according
to E. A. Pynchon, Florida State
director, because of an ordered IS
per cent cut in WPA workers in
the State.
Digging Half Done
To date, canal contractors have
carved out approximately $780,
600 cubic yards of dirt from the
proposed canal - more than half
the 14,O0O,O 900 cubic yards con-
tracted for when the first $5,000,-
900 allotment was made.
The big ditch, if it ends there,
will be a unique sight, but the
strangest of all sights will be
beautiful steel and concrete bridge
standing in a peaceful forest south
of here, with no river under it and
no roads leading to or from it.
There is nothing to indicate that
it is on the site of the proposed
canal.
Not only will the Government
find itself with an enormous hole
for which it has no use; it also
will be the possessor Of a lot Of
land it can't use. Already posses
sion orders have been secured on
nearly 10000 acres of land along
the proposed route, according to
j. Tom Watson, special attorney
for the Department of Justice in
charge Of condemnation suits.
" Is Political Football
This mammoth undertaking, eS-
timated to cost 143 million dollars
and require five years of labor to
complete cut the State in two po-
litically long before it could even
start to do so geographically.
North and south Florida, long at
odds on economic questions, seized
upon the proposed canal and made
of it the principal bone Of con-
tention.
South Florida argued its water
supply would be ruined and that
the arteSian wells would gush salt
water, spelling disaster for crops
and cities. North Florida hooted
at the idee and battled tooth and
nail for completion of the canal.

The move is not only a major

This, together with the prospective

NEW YORK, Oct. 3 d.N.sO.
Bullish enthusiasm swept the
stock market today and sent the
list up 1 to 3 points to new highs
since 1881.
The rush started at the opening
and quickly sent the high-speed
ticker four minutes behind. Big
blocks were common, running to
10000 shares in N. Y. Central.
Huge profit-taking sales were
offset by new buying, and closing
prices we're around the best levels
Of the day.
Rails and steels were the pace
makers, following closely by avia-
tions motors, rail equipments.
and metals. New highs in leaders
included U. S. Steel, N. Y. Central,
Bethlehem Steel, Chrysler, and
Douglas, among others.
U. S. Steel rose 2 to IS and
Central touched the 48 level. Chry-
sler sold at a new high since 1929
and General Motors was strong.
Utilities were little better than
firm and we're neglected. Oils
and amusementS scored moderate
gains. Rubbers shares were strong.

CURB GOES UP

Maintaining the pace set at the
opening, curb stocks continued ex-
tremely active in later dealings to-
day with the entire market work

Although fairly substantial
gains were registered generally
there were few outstanding ad-

peared to be consolidating its posi-
tion at new highs.
Aluminium of America climbed
212 points and Pierce Governor

of the wider gains. A good num-
Der of issues advanced a point or
almost as much in the miscel-
laneous group, including Ferro
Enamel, Godchaux Sugar B, Con-

and Bower Roller Bearing. There
were virtually no losses.
A few of the utilities turned in
good performance. The ASso-
ciated Gas issues were in good de-
mand again with the preferredS
again squirting to new highs on
gains of almost two points. Colum-
bia Gas preferred climbed two
