MONEY POLICY
CLASH LOOMS
FOR CONGRESS
Split in Senate Silver Bloc
Threatens Row For
Solons
Copyright by United Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. (UP)
A split in the senate silver bloc
today threatened to precipitate n
big money fight in the early days
of the coming congress.
The disagreement is based up
on the treasury's newest none
tary policy-the retirement of all
purchased gold into an inactive
fund" to prevent increased swell
ing of excess reserves of the fed
cral reserve system. A $24,000,-
100000 credit boom could be
built upon the present excess re-
serves of $3,000,000,O0O.
The silver purchase act forced
upon the New Deal by congress
brought about a closer relation
ship between gold and silver in
the metallic reserves of the treas
ury. The act compelS the treasury
to purchase silver until it reaches
a ratio of TO 3 with gold in the
currency reserve.
The treasury was authorized to
issue silver certificates against
the white metal acquired under
the act. $500
Yesterday, Senator William IL.
King, Democrat, of Utah, said
congress must study the need OF
applying the same retirement
treatment to silver us the treas
ury has applied to gold. The
treasury's action, he said, has
caused considerable debate among
financial experts about the infla-
ton threat that rests in the au-
thorization to issue silver certif,
icates against newly purchased
silver.
King would not express his own
opinion on the course which ne
thinks should be taken. He is Il
member but not leader of the
silver bloc.
At the same time, Senator III
mer Thomas, Democrat, Of Okla
homa, leading monetary expert on
Capitol Hill, said he was no long
er interested in the silver prob
lem and would train his attention
i'm the future on increasing com
modify prices through the control
led dollar.

NAVY GETS L
HUGE BOMbERS,
1874 TO FOLLOW
First Group Delivered Will
Be Assigned to Service
in Hawaii

United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. 30
(UP) - Strengthening U nc G
SANS front line of defense, IL
giant naval patrol bombers--,
"battle cruisers Of the air" and
the last word in air boats--will
assume their place in the U. s.
navy's air fleet early in 1887, ma.
val officials announced.
The planes are the first COM
pleted Of l76 now under construc.
ton in San Diego. They will be
flown to their base ut Pearl Har:
Dor, Honolulu, in January, naval
officials at the North Island Ma.
val Air station said. Others will
be flown to bases assigned them
as they are completed.
Especially designed for long
flights over open seas, the huge,
l5-ton monoplanes are said to be
the most advanced ships of their
type anywhere in the world. The
~ now completed are known as
PBY-l's and are part OF a group
Of 60 such planes for which the
navy contracted with CONSOLIDATE
ed Aircraft corporation in 1885.
ll6 MORE TO BE BUILT
The next group Of so, a model
with q few variations from the
PBY-l's, is being built by Consol:
idated under another contract and
will be known as PBY-2. Sixty
six more planes, PBY-3, were con.
tracted for in November. and Con.
oslidated officials say they prob
ably will be completed in the sum
mer of 1888.
The three contracts total ap'
proximately $19,000,000 and, &C.
cording to Consolidated officials
mark the greatest peacetime con
struction of large air boats ever
undertaken.
The air boats are almost iden'
tical with the XP3Y-l monoplane
commanded by Lieut.. Commander
Knefler McGinnis, which set 9
world airline distance record anc
world broken line distance rec
ord for it's class in a nonstop
flight from Cristobal Harbor, Ca
nal Zone, to San Francisco Bay
October 14-15, 1885. The airline
distance was 1921 miles and the
broken line distance, 3,443 miles
CALLED WITHOUT EQUAL
The planes represent the com
bined developments Of navy ane
civilian engineers and are said t.
be unequalled by any military pa
troll bomber now in service.

MAINTAINS COURT

CHICAGO, Dec. 30. (UP)-
Donald Richbcrg, former NRA adj
miniStrator, said today that an
amendment of the constitution is
not needed if the supreme court
would accept public opinion as its
guide and amend its own errors.
He said it was his earnest con-
viction that judges, as well as leg.
islators, are public servants and
obliged TO accept public opinion
as their guide. He said unwar-
ranted exercises of judicial pow
er dangerously deferred the solu-
ton of grave national problems.

knew it. Before we even pulled
into the drive Of the precious little
white New England bungalow high
in Beverly Hills I had spotted it
as the house of Miss Betsy Trot-
wood. In her bonnet and whiten
apron she would be out to shoe
the colts away any minute now.
Flower-banked, with olive trees
growing behind the white picket
fence and a quaint little New Eng
land barn in back, it was exactly
like the picture house in David
Copperfield" where Edna May
Oliver, playing Betsy Trotwood,
lived her charitable and erratic
life. Anyone would have known
it in a minute.
What I didn't know then-be-
fore I had picked up the quaint
bronze knocker and let it drop
was that I was to be treated to the
finest theatrical performance I
had ever seen on any stage or in
any movie. The door flew up. The
curtain was up.
"COme in, come in," said the
rich, thrOaty voice, with the lit
of laughter at the end.

She rambles on about her house
her servants (she just has two
a housekeeper and the house
keepers husband), the quarters
she's building for them, her little
white barn.
'I'm veddy proud of that lit
tie balm. It's like a little New

Likes Classics

Miss Oliver loves the classics,
reads few modern novels. Marcus
Aurehus and Socrates are her
Bibles" She never reads in bed.
She reads right in that chair
where you're sitting large,
comfortable chair in soft yellow
plush. She adoreS opera and
thinks Lotte Lehman the great
est singer of all times. She has
to tell her troubles to people"
On the wall there is a marvellous
old Florentine portrait which has
the place of honor. It's the first
thing you see when you come in
the room.
"WhO is he," she says. "Oh,
my deah, I've been in love with
him for yeahs, ever since 1 saw
him first at my doctors home.
He gave him to me when I'd
mOOned about him long enough.
He was the head faIcOner Of
Henry VIII and I adore him,

Similarly, many puzzlers decid-

They overlooked another First Ma

that careSSed the eyes with the
Softness of its colorS and Graded
the footsteps with creamy rich
carpet. It was the mature room
of one who loved beauty-who
had always loved it. There were
bright books in open cases and
some scattered comfortably on
tables. Green leafy bows took the
place of flowers in vases set here
and there on the floor and tables.
Cream and mahogany was the
main idea, but color was mixed
in delicately in a mauve chair
there, a yellow one here. The pic
lures had been chosen, not to fit
the wall Space-but obviously be-
cause the owner loved each one.
The photographer, named "Vir-
gil" (there'S something classical
about the quality of his work. was
taking our pictures.
Miss Oliver was acting UP for
the camera. She held my arm
and pointed into the chartreuse-
curtained dining room. She said:
"See those birds? (She said
'bahdS.' Mrs. Patrick Campbell
gave them to me. They're
white enamel, but I wish they
were silver. Come Vuhgil, take
the picture quickly while we're
being interesting. Another? Oh,
really, this is too mahvelOus-
Just one photograph ahfter the
Other!"
My eye, directed to the dining
room, picked up a large and mag
nificent silver object that has a
whole table practically to itself.
