INITIATION NOT
GOAL IN PRICE
LEVEL SCHEME
Roosevelt Says Moderate
Advances Would Aid
Production
ABUNDANCE POLICY
BEING MAINTAINED

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. (UP)
Congressional experts turned to in
flationary federal licensing meth
DDS to day in search for a means
of achieving President Roosevelt's
program for adjustment of the
price level.
The failure Of Mr.. Roosevelt to
advance the machinery by which
he would raise some prices and
lower others in an effort toward
Sterilization created some confu-
sion and grumbling on Capitol
Hill, but two definite proposals
were most widely discussed.
Sen. Elmer Thomas (D-Okla.)
declared the presidents statement
meant that the administration had
been forced to adopt an initiation
airy policy and "now that they
have decided they must 60 through
with it."
Thomas said he believed the
goal could be achieved without is
suance of new currency because
the administration now has full
power to put into gear other in
flationary machinery such as open
market operations by the Federal
Reserve.

Floods, billiards. and the havoc
left by q tornado today beset six
southwestern states, extending
an area of death. misery and de-
struction from the prarieS Of
Kansas to the Northern Louisiana
pine woods.
Thousands were driven from
Southeastern Arkansas and South
western Oklahoma homes by
floods.
Rain-laden rivers ragged out of
their banks in scattered areas of
the southwest Friday night, fore
ing at least 1000 families to flee
their homes and prompting Il
standby order for the national
guard in Arkansas.
A score of points in Missouri,
Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma
caught in the grip of a cold wave
following heavy rains - battled
the rushing tide of water, which
already had swept over lowlands.
Governor Carl Bailey of Arkan-
sas broadcast an order, forl.Sall
units of the national guard to
prepare to leave on call to meet
flood emergencies in the state.
The national guard 154th obser-
walton squadron patrol led the
Arkansas and White Rivers to
watch for new onslaughts of the
torrents against lowland resi-
dents.
Little Rock, fearing the turgid
Arkansas would rush to a 81
foot crest Tuesday, sought TO-
900 WPA workers to heighten
levees. Three hundred homeless
families, driven from lOwlands,
found shelter in tents furnished
by the national guard in the city
park.
A small levee break near Nor
rilton late yesterday flooded 500
acres but failed to slow up the
onrushing flood to Little Rock.
Streams, burdened by six days
of rain, rushed madly from their
channels in Southern and South
eastern Oklahoma, flooding hun
dreds of acres of farm lands and
late yesterday forced approx
mately 400 families to evacuate
their homes.
One hundred families were re-
moved in boats when the bloated
Arkansas river and it's tributary,
San Bots Creek, made an island
of their homes near Keota, in
Eastern Oklahoma.
Rivermen predicted the roaring
White River would reach crest
of 80 feet at Batesville, Ark,
make 400 homeless and flood
1000 acres of land.
Residents of three Ozark towns
in Southwest Missouri prepared
to abandon homes and stores as

threatened the worst flood since

MINORITY SEES
LITTLE in MESSAGE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. t(UP)
President Roosevelt, pledging gov
eminent action to combat della
tionafy forces Of the recession,
yesterday called for a moderate
increase in the general price
structure. He warned, however,
that the rise must be restricted
to commodities which are produc-
ed or sold in highly competitive
markets.
He criticized industrialists who
wait until the peak of business
boo INTO make wage increases but
did not indicate whether he be-
lieves wages should be raised or
lowered at this time. He gave as
surance that the administration
is not contemplating further de-
valuation CT the dollar or other
inflationary moves to achieve its
goal of a balanced system Of
prices to promote a balanced ex-
pansion of production.
The chief executive restated
the New Deals price policy and
detectives at press conference
in which he read a statement pre-
pared at his request by Secretary
of the Treasury Henry Morgen-
thau, Jr., Secretary of Agricul-
ture Henry A. Wallace, Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins, Chair
man Mariner s. Eccles of the
federal reserve system and sew
eral economists. He made public
charts on price and employment
fluctuations prepared by Morgen-
THAI and his aides as part of the
price survey which was submitted
to him Thursday and on which
the statement yesterday was bas-
ed.
"Our program seeks balanc-
ed system Of prices such as will
promote balanced expansion in
production" the statement said.
'Our goal is constantly increas-
ing national income through in

"This is not a policy of restric-
ton; it is a policy of abund-
