FOREIGN BUYING
CONTROL STUDIED
President Sees Danger to
Currency and Exchange
on u. S. Stocks.
Ry the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt said today the
Federal Reserve Board was studying
the question of the possible need of
legisle ion to control foreign buying
of American securities.
Responding to questions about the
rising stock market at his semi-weekly
press conference, the President said
foreign investments in the American
market, If accumulated to q certain
point, were potential danger, not
only to domestic currency and ex.
change, but to every other Nations
currency and exchange.
Mr.. Roosevelt emphasized the ques-
ton was only In. the study stage and
said the Treasury would be asked to
investigate it also when Secretary
Morgenthau returns to Washington
next week.
New Legislation Possibility.
He said Chairman Mariner S. Ec-
cles of the Federal Reserve Board had
informed him yesterday that new leg
slation would be required If control
measures were deemed necessary.
The President would not comment
on the stock market rise, saying
Eccles and Chairman James M. Lands
Of the Securities and Exchange Com
mission were better acquainted with
the technical language of the market
than he.
He said Eccles had told him of
large foreign buying of American
securities. He said when such buying
gets beyond q certain point the un-
certainty of when these investments
might be withdrawn served to put
such investments in the hot" money
class.
Mr.. Roosevelt added 1t was always
a disturbing factor in the foreign
exchange and credit situation.
Runaway Stock Market"
Asked if Eccles or any one. else
with whom he had conferred re.
Gently had discussed what a news
man termed runaway stock mar
ket," the President said that phase
had never been touched on.
The President noted that currencies
and gold reserves Of European nations
had been affected In the past by
certain private groups or syndicates.
He mentioned the attacks on the
French franc In the past three or four
years.
But he asserted this form of cur
rency disturbance had been virtually
taken care Of by the recent American
British and French monetary accord
and the question now was what othe,
factors might be entering into the
situation as possible upsetting in

Administrator Says, in
Forecast.
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
Relief problem long has. been
source OF difficulty here. In No
pem, 1888, cost OF direct relief tcds
passed to District government, tOith
only 1nemploydbles eligible.
This years direct relief fund
proved insufficient to meet needs,
and District officials obtained Gd-
dittondl appropriation of sS30,000.
Crisis iDds reached last December,
phen payments ,oere sIashed Is
per cent.
This cut Uds restored after 1d-
ditiondl appropriation iDas obtained,
but problem remained acute. Dur
ing the Summer, many cases tCere
remoped from the rolls because of
shortage OF funds.
Following his prediction Of yester-
day that there would be 10000 few
er relief cases on the w. P. A. rolls
after January /, Works Progress Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins today
directed Commissioner George E. AL
len to reduce the District W. P. a.
quota from $500 to $500 by the first
Of the year.
Allen also was notified to cut the
monthly administrative costs Of w.
p. A. from $4,000 to $4,000.
The instruction sent to Allen, who
heads the District w. p. A., were be-
lieved to be similar to notices sent by
Hopkins to works administrators
throughout the country. Hopkins
forecast of the million reduction was
made in connection with a statement
that the Federal relief load definitely
had passed its peak.
Actually, the District has only $500
persons on its works program now.
but there is approximately the same
number on Federal w. P. A. projects
in the Capital. The orders received
by Allen did not state whether Hop
kins had directed a cut in the num-
Der on Federal projects here.
Allen and his assistants voiced no
concern over the impending reduc-
ton. They explained there has been
q gradual dropping or for some
months as persons formerly on w.
P. A. we're absorbed in private EN-
ployment. They said they expected
this to continue, although the peak
load of unemployment in the past has
developed during Winter months.
1900 Seen Absorbed.
Last Winter there were some 1900
needy and unemployed persons who
were given jobs under the District
w. P. A. and about the same number
on Federal w. P. A projects here.
That would indicate about 200 per.
sons have been absorbed by private
industries from the District w. P. A.
since last Winter. In numerous cases,
however. it was explained, there have
been transfers from District to Fed
eral projects.
William C. Cleary, assistant deputy
works administrator for the District,
said nearly all of the projects now
have fewer men than are really need
ed to keep them going at full strength.

MADRID, November 13.-Madrid's
Montana Barracks and the whole line
of Notifications in the vicinity of
Segovia Bridge were bombed in a
daring insurgent air raid late today
several hours after government planes
had won a spectacular victory in a
OdCtle over The CdplLdi.
Three Fascist tri-motors, guarded
by six pursuit planes, roared out of
q dense cloudbank in the western sky
at $40 pm. and spilled IA huge
bombs.
Five of the projectiles hit Montana
Barracks, where several thousand
government troops are quartered.
Other screaming missiles. dumped
by the air raiders, fell on the line OF
Notifications. Two of them exploded
in q built-up sector, wrecking three
2-story houses.
Black billowing columns of debris
and smoke shot into the air as the
raiders, having completed their mis-.
sion of death and destruction, fed II
the west.
Ten Socialist pursuit planes i'm
mediately roared into the skies anc
engaged the six Fascist escort planes
in q spectacular aerial battle-the
second dog fight over Madrid of the
day.
The enemy planes. however, TAX
ing advantage of the dense clouds
which shielded their approach, made
their escape.
Raid Follows Air Battle. - -
The raid came on the heels of a
mass aerial battle in which the gov
ernment announced it had downed
six planes.
Thousands of Madrilenos saw two
planes crash in the first battle, one
within the city itself. The government
announced both were insurgent ships
and said four others had been forced
from the air during chase over in
surgent lines which followed the
spectacular dog fight"
The prompt attack by nine govern
ment planes. defense leaders declared,
prevented another bombardment Of the
city.
1t also demonstrated the insurgents
no longer can fly over Madrid un-
scathed.
Previously, the governments air
base was so far from Madrid that at
tacking planes could get away from the
city before government craft arrived.
Now, however, the government has
established a temporary air base near
Madrid, its whereabouts a carefully
guarded secret.
10 Planes Protect Capital.
More than 10 pursuit planes, defense
officials asserted, have been detailed
to the protection of the capital. All
are of modern construction. each
armed with from two to four machine
guns, and each manned by an expert
enced pilot.

LIVING COST BASIS.
FOR PAY OPPOSED.
Should Affect Only Minimum
Wage Scale, Presi-
dent Says.
By the Associated Press.


Commenting on the proposal of
some steel companies to huctuate
wages with the cost Of living as de-
termined by the Labor Department
index, President Roosevelt said today
the cost Of living was a factor to be
considered only when applied to
minimum wage.
1t should not be considered as a
factor. he added, If it is to curb the
improvement of wages.
Discussing the question at q press
conference, the President said living
costs should not be the controlling
factor id fixing wages in places where
the cost Of living Is very low.
He added buying power also entered
into the picture.
Announced by Steel Firm.
The cost-of-living basis for wage
determination has been brought to
the front by the announcement of
the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Co. and
other large concerns that wages are
to be increased, but will fiuctuate
within certain limits as the cost of liv-
ing goes up or down. The cost Of
living is to be determined by the Bu-
reau Of Labor Statistics.
Two Carnegie Illinois employe rep
resentatives are in Washington seek
ing from Secretary Perkins a ruling
on whether employe representatives
have right to sign q binding agree
ment with the company Incorporating
such a wage plan.
The company offered a 10 per cent
wage increase, but asked employe rep
resentatives to sign an agreement per-
mitting adjustments according to liv-
ing costs The range was limited to
S per cent. The employe representa-
tives here object to the proposed ad-
justment agreement as 8 condition
to the wage increase.
Charges to Be Studied.
Secretary Perkins agreed in a con-
ference with the two representatives
Of company unions yesterday to
study two charges which they lodged
against their employers: First, that
the steel company had Disseminated
against one Of the representatives,
George A. Patterson, an employe of
the South Chicago plant, and, second.
that the proposed increases are invalid
when signed only by union officials
without ratification by the union men,
bership.
Patterson attended the conference
with Elmer ]. Maloy, Duquesne, Pa,
chairman of the Pittsburgh -Youngs-
town council of the Carnegie Illinois
company union.
Maloy said he and Patterson had
conferred with John L. Lewis head Of
the Committee for Industrial Organ
ization now engaged in an organiza-
ton campaign among steel company
workers. Lewis arranged the confer
ence with Secretary Perkins, Maloy
said, but he does not expect to hold
any further meetings with him.
Designated as Arbiter.
Secretary Perkins learned for the
first time at the conference yesterday
that she had been designated as
arbiter In cases Of dispute between
company representatives and em-
ployers and that her decision is final.
Maloy asserted that the companies
are using coercion" to induce COM
pany union representatives to accept
tn. proposed agreement by telling
them that they would not get the
wage increase unless they also accept
the cost-of-living basis for future
regulation.
