we are living in a chaotic world" said one treasury official, land it is essential that the president hold his monetary authority, which is a powerful economic weapon that may have to be used swiftly when the war is over. It's true that the power may not have been invoked in these days when major world powers have exchanged control. But the time element will be important when peace comes and the president will need authority to act quickly"
 These officials disputed the re- serve boards contention that it could handle monetary and credit control more effectively than the treasury. The treasury, they said, would resist any attempt by the board to run rough-shod" over the treasury which so far, they added, has handled its monetary authority. efficiently and to the public good.
 Treasury officials said they would not object seriously to repeal of the Thomas amendment authoriz- ing the printing of $3,000, 900 900 in greenbackS. EccleS had asked that. This power never has been utilized by the treasury and sposemen said it did not intend to use it.
 Unanimous Opinion
 The Eccles report was the unan- imouS opinion of the board of gov- ernors, the presidents of the Federal Reserve banks and the members of the federal advisory council repre- senting the 12 reserve districts. It emphasized that there is no imme- diate danger of imitation bu fore saw such a threat unless the fiscal monetary machine was shifted from a peacetime basis to one able to meet industrial needs in world at war. Something must be done to halt the accumulation of idle money, the excess reserves which, the board said, would exceed the present $7,000, ,000,000 as the government issued more and more defense securities.
 The board recommended, in addi- tion to repeal of the Greenback Act and the lapsing of the presi- dents dollar devaluing power, these moves: Gradual increase in taxes until the federal budget is balanced; repeal of the treasury's power to issue currency against foreign silver and of the power to issue silver certificates against seigniorage of silver; use of tke stabilization fund to absorb and control excess re- serves in domestic banks; increase of the amount of reserves required of member banks with authority to double their present amounts to ab- sorb idle money and extension of reserve requirements to all banks; segregation of gold imports to stop issuance of gold certificates which results in more idle credits.

terms of gold, and its bid for power to combat inflationary tendencies, may reproduce some of the circum- stances of the battle between An drew Jackson and the Bank of the United States in the 1830s.
 Principals in the conflict = Pres tdent Roosevelt, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau. Jr., and Federal Reserve Board Chair man Mariner s. EccleS were silent on the boards report, released by Eccles. F'ragmentary congress sional reaction-all from conserva- tive senators = favored Eccles' pro- poSals.
 But there was little doubt that the report would start major con- troversy in the Congress conven- ing tomorrow, and it may become close second in Congressional de- bate to the question of greater aid to Great Britain.
 President On Fence
 There was no indication which side the President would support. But if the Treasury Department op- poses most of the program ~ as Spokesmen said it would-it seemed reasonably certain that the Presi- dent would, too.
 Treasury sources revealed that Eccles' recommendations to Con- gress = the first time the board has sent a report to Congress had been announced with the knowledge of Morgenthau. A conference at tended by Morgenthau, Eccles and Lauchlin Currie, assistant to MT. Roosevelt and a former Reserve Board economic adviser, the day be- fore the report was announced was interpreted here as an attempt by Morgenthau to have certain revis- ions made in the boards proposals.
 Although the first conclusion was that Currie's position was one sup porting Morgenthau, some sources hinted that he might agree with Eccles on many points and seek a compromise between the opposing factions.
 Treasury officials admitted that they would oppose virtually all ot the Reserve Boards recommenda- tions, but wanted the disagreement over basic fiscal policy brought into the open for discussion.
 Treasury's Position
 Th0 treasury',s position was out lined by these officials as follows: The president should retain the right to revalue the dollar because of the probability of postwar econ ornic emergencies. Some of the f1s- cal controls the board recommended repealed are not needed now when the economy is rising toward full capacity, but the trend may shift suddenly and it would be helpful if tho secretary of the treasury had the powers which he calls "hiS shot, gum ii the closets"ss M Ss Al

shelter. They caused expressions of
resentment among the 1000 Italians
for the most part anti-Fascist
or lukewarm toward Mussolini-
who remained here. Ardent Fas-
cists left with the fleeing Italian
troops.
Despite enormous losses in Egypt
and Cirenaica, Mussolini still has a
considerable army in Tripolitania.
Military sources here put it's
strength at five divisions.
The Italians are weak, however,
in equipment, especially artillery
and transport since the bulk of these
had been moved eastward with the
Italian thrust into Egypt and now
are destroyed or in British hands.
British forces themselves are
faced with the difficulties of vast
distances and keeping their lines
open for a land push westward
toward Tripoli and the Tunisian
frontier.
The strain of two months of con-
tinual advancing over the roughest
desert country has been hard or
both men and vehicles.
The rapid British thrust to the sea
south of Bengasi was as much 9

it was to the Italians.

settling down to the more routine

occupied port in Italian Libya.
One of these projectiles wrecked

which rose 300 feet and drenched

At dawn today three dive-bombers
repeatedly straffed the city and
nearby fields with machine-gun fire.
Scant damage was inflicted on the
