appeared about 10 o'clock yester-
day morning after she left her
home at 1909 Quesada st. N. w.
to get some books at the Blessed
Sacrament School, about three
blocks away.
All Night Search
When she failed to return home
several hours later, police were
notified and an all-night search
was launched, but no trace Of the
child was found.
About 9 o'clock this morning, as
additional details Of detectives
were being organized to comb the
woods in Rock Creek Park, q little
neighbor boy walked up to the
tCrismond home, and said to the
father:
"Have you seen your little

When the father replied he had
not, the boy said:
"She'S right outside, at the

The father rushed out, and
found that Geraldine had at

finding the door looked had gone
to the cellar entrance.

rushed to her mother and threw
herself into her arms. whispering
incoherent words. She was so
overcome with emotion that she
was unable to answer questions as
to where she had been.
Wandered All Night
Suffering from exposure, the
child was put to bed at once.
All that she could say was that
she had wandered around the
neighborhood all night, and that
she was cold and hungry.
The father said that he was
very happy that the child was
back, and declined to permit re-
porters to question her. He said:
"She seems to be all right,
except that she is hungry, cold
and needs sleep. All I can get
out of her Is that she did not
go to school, but that she wan.

"She apparently did not go

I cannot learn just where she

dent. There is a concerted effort
on the part of the White House, the
labor unions and the Mayors of
some cities to bring this about. The
Senate Appropriations Committee
has turned them down by a vote
of II TOT.
The Executive Committee of the
League of Iowa Municipalities, how
ever, is for giving the Senators and
Representatives free hand to settle
the amount of relief appropriation.
The league is composed of the
Mayors of the cities of Iowa. Sena-
tor Herring is confident that what
these officials are saying is that they
believe the time has come to think
twice before appropriating the huge
sums of money asked by the admin

bad business psychology must be

economic recovery, Mr.. Hanes points
out.

shortage OF Exchange.
There is known to be at the mo-
ment an extreme shortage in for
eign exchange in Berlin, which
means that Germany will have to
choose between allowing her scanty
supply of raw materials to be con-
verted into armament or into manu-
factured products for export in order
to create foreign exchange. The
gold supply of Germany is said to
be about s270, ,000, 900, which is rela-
lively low.
Notwithstanding all these adverse
factors, expert opinion is that Ger
many will postpone her financial
crisis and get through the present
situation by further internal borrow
ing. from the investor class and
capitalistic industries. Ultimately,
the view held here is that as between
imitation. which will cause a popu-
lar uproaN and conf1scation of the
capital of the upper classes. the
Nazis will choose the latter as less
damaging to the maintenance of
their own power. Incidentally, the
reports reaching here from reliable
economic sources abroad are that
the anti-Jewish atrocities were not
so much aimed at the Jews as at
all possible opposition groups in
Germany, the purpose being to
demonstrate how ruthless the gov
ernment conceivably could be
against any who might challenge the
Nazi authority.

Democratic Senators had stepped up

vote for Mr.. Hopkins or to let the

tor Gillette, while expressing great
resentment because of Mr.. Hopkins

torial primary last June, said he be-
lieved the President had right to
select his own advisers and so he
would vote for him. That was the
attitude of the other "yes, butts"
who actually voted for Mr.. Hopkins.
The attitude of others in the group
who merely abstained from voting
was that while they believed the
President should have wide latitude
in picking his advisers and cabinet
officers, they did not intend by their
votes to give any semblance of ap-
proval of Mr.. Hopkins administra-

Glass and Tydings Abstain.
Senator Glass of Virginia was one
of the last group. He told the Senate
very frankly he did not wish to cast

explain Or apologize from yesterday
on. This finally was also the atti-
tude OF Senator Tydings of Mary
land, who earlier had said he would
vote for confirmation of MIR. Hop
kins because he did not wish to shoot
at the man who had only carried
out the Presidents orders.

Harry Hopkins to be Secretary of
Commerce, Frank Murphy to be At

Supreme Court. Not a voice in the
Senate was raised in opposition to
Justice Frankfurter when the vote
was taken. although had the roll
been called there probably would
have been some opponents-or alb
sentees. Against Attorney General
Murphy only seven votes were cast,

there were at least five others not

confirmation, and more who believed

Of inflationary devices and, per-
haps, a resumption of short-term
borrowing from her own industries
AS described here, the German
financial policy steered by DR..
Schacht was deliberate effort to
cut down the amount of short
term debt. 1t is estimated, for
instance, that more than SIS per
cent of all debt in Germany of
all kinds is now governmental, and
that the Schacht policy was an
endeavor to convert as much as
possible into longer term loans.
German industries, it is said on
good authority here. have been
forced to take German govern
mental loans and now will be loaded
with more short-term debt and
also will fail to get payment on
short-term debts about to come due
Unquestionably. this sharp change
IN Germany's industrial situation
has already had repercussions
abroad, especially in Central Eu-
ropean countries where German
Industries maintain credit relation
ships. The effort of the Nazis is
to regulate their own economy. bat
whatever they do is bound to affect
as vitality the smaller countries
which are now under Germany's
thumb or are likely to be in the
next year or so.
New Imitation Feared.
Germany's internal debt is now
supposed to be about 10000, ,0O0, 900
" marks, which is almost three times
what 1t was before Hitler came into
power. This figure for the German
debt is not officially conceded. but
statisticians who have followed re-
cent German documents are pretty
we'll agreed that it is accurate. At
any rate, it is being accepted inter-
nationally now as about the size of
the German debt.
The German people are believed
to be living In fear of another in
f1ation such as was experienced in
1923, when Germany repudiated
her internal debt completely and
the German population began to
suffer so severely that they accepted
Nazism as the only way out. The
resignation of DR.. Schacht. who is
known throughout Germany as an
exponent of sound finance and as
man who has never been in SYM
pathy with Nazi policies, may be
exciting more interest inside Ger
many than is apparent from the
cabled press dispatches. Certainly
in countries contiguous to Germany
where the bulk of German COM
merce is carried on, the effect has
been one of alarm and apprehen-
sion. If DR.. Schacht is getting out,
then what is coming next-the aver
age German businessman is bound
to be filled with concern.
To take over the Reichsbank and
put 1t under the absolute control of
the Fuehrer is step which may not
