BILL WOULD ASSURE
BAN ON INITIATION
Senator Bridges Urges Presidents s
Authority to Issue Currency
Be Repealed.
By the Associated Press.

~ thc hSSoC-dleC HIeSS.
Senator Bridges, Republican. of New
Hampshire urged yesterday that Pres
ldent Roosevelt's authority to issue
$3,0O0,000,O00 in currency be repealed
to prevent any possible demands "for
the dope-relief of paper money
imitation"
A proposal by Senator Bridges to
repeal the authority now is pending
before the Senate Banking Committee
In letter to Chairman Wagner of
tne committee, Senator Bridges said,
The President, fortunately for the
country, has evinced as yet no desire
to employ the power to issue I'D to
$4,000, 100000 in convertible currency
granted him under an amendment to
the Agricultural Adjustment Act"
he urged Senator Wagner to begin
hearings before the Banking Commit
tee as soon as possible on his repeal
measure
1t probably is not news to manv
members of Congress-" MIR. Bridges
wrote, that business men and bankers
really fear that the highly articulate
minority in our population may seize
up recession of business, such as
the one we are now in the midst of
as an argument for the dope-relief of
paper money imitation.
Repeal of the imitation act would
oe the most effective answer that
could be made to such demands. and
making that answer now, before the
pressure is applied, would place Con-
eress IN a strong tactical position"

IN RECOVERY DRIVE
Administration Hopes Are
Staked on Action of Utilities
and Housing Activity.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The administration Is taking its
hopes for quick business recovery on
further peace negotiations with private
power companies and q private hous-
Ing drive to be outlined by President
Roosevelt In special message to Con-
gress Monday.
Well-informed persons predicted to-
day that the President, or officials
close to him, would carry on the con-
ciliatory talks with utilities which al
ready have produced virtual assurance
OF ll2,000. 900 OF new construction.
They said the objective would be the
same as In the Presidents recent
conferences with two utilities chief
tains--to assure the power companies
that Government competition would
be limited to present proportions II
they would start deferred construction
and change their method of valuing
properties for rate-making purposes.

In formal statement he said talk
OF spending $1,000 100000 for utility
improvements was bunk" and that
what the utilities executives really
want is Ito destroy the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority and thereby wreck the

There was every indication, how
ever, that the administration was
counting heavily on the sl,250,O00 900

were needed, but that money to build

Use Of Steam Power.

power companies would involve steam

started more quickly than water power
projects. for which Federal permits

100000 UNITS.
U.S.HOUS|NCNEED
Eight or Ten Years Will Be
Required to Catch Up,
Say Experts.

The housing problem is cdus-
ing concern to Government, busi-
ness and labor experts, Dho are
seeking methods OF stimulating the
construction industry. This is the
first OF t,Do Associated Press arti-
cies analysing the subject.
By the Associated Press.
America has an immediate market
statisticians say, for about 1000 OOC
new family homes or apartments. Why
aren't they built?
First. it is necessary to review the
building situation of the last few years
From the boom construction rate OF
100000 family dwelling units a year
In 1925 and 1925, building fell off tc
10000 units at the bottom of the de-
preston. This years rate is estimated
at less than 100000.
Because worn-out or DESTROYED
homes were not replaced during the
depression and because population in.
creased by 100000 persons, experts
say it will take 8 to 10 years of build
ing between 100000 and 800 900 fam.
lily units year to catch up with the
Nations needs.
Materials Costs Rise.
Next, what are the factors impend-
Ing construction?
The answers given most frequently
are these:
l. Building materials are costly
Their average price increased 10.4 pei
cent in the last year, the Labor
Department reports.
2. Construction labor rates are high
because of uncertain employment
Labor Department experts calculate
the average weekly earnings of these
workers increased 16 per cent in the
last year. In some localities skilled
building workers are scarce, adding te
the labor problem
5. Capital Is reluctant to invest ir
long-term mortgages. The Fedora
Home Loan Bank Board says this stu.
alton is improving.
What is the Government doins
about the situation?

Petey had been too venturesome.
That is how it had happened. He

How often we learn things when it

He wanted to explore. He wanted to

He hadn't intended to 60 more than a
jump or two from the bushes along the
fence. but, not paying attention to
where he was going, he at length dis
covered that he was some distance
from those sheltering weeds and
bushes.
Startled, Petey sat up for look
all around. Back near where the old
wall ended and the fence began he
saw something red. It was the coat
OF Reddy Fox. He was sure of it. His
little heart seemed to jump right up
In his throat and choke him. Why,

back to those weeds and bushes. He
must. Even there he wouldn't feel
safe, for there was no real hiding
place there of which he knew. He
couldn't go back to the old stone wall,
because Reddy Fox was there.
Had Reddy seen him? He didn't
know. But he found out soon enough.
He started back for the sheltering
weeds and bushes, and as he did SO,
Reddy Fox came into plain view and
started after him. To be exact, he
started to try to head Petey OF, to get
between him and the bushes.
Petey reached the bushes. Ny, how
he was running! He darted In among
them. He couldn't stop to rest until

through which a little Rabbit could
dive to safety between the big stones.
Then he came to the end Of the wall.
Beyond this was fence along which
grew tall weeds and bushes. Petey
kept on among these for little way.
They gave him good cover. He felt
quite safe. Besides, he hadn't seen
any one or heard any one to make him
afraid
He grew hungry. The grass on the
Green Meadows looked green and
tender. There was sure to be clover
there, too, and he dearly liked clover.
So he left the shelter Of the weeds and
bushes and went out on the Green
Meadows. Presently he forgot every
