Home On The Range
For John Kimbrouqh

HOUSTON, Tex, Jan. 1.-R
The Houston, Post says that
John Alec Kimbrough, Texas
Aggie fullback, will receive
s37,5OO for playing IL year of
professional football with the
New York Yankees of the Amer
lean league.
The paper says: "Although
himbrough has not yet signed
the contract, the astounding sum
offered by the Yankees of the i'll
rant professional football league
represents more money than has
ever before been offered a play
er. The figure is the combined
offer of the Yankees and the
CUBS owner. Douglas Hertz,
wealthy New York sportsman"
kimbrough is quoted by the
Post as saying:
1T is true that in an earlier
story 1 stated that 1 was reIuct-
ant to play pro ball but in that
same article I said that 1 would
change my mind if 1 could re-
celve as much as $25, 900. The Of
lei made by Hertz is too good to
turn down..
All l want out of this is a
ranch, and I told him (Hertz)
that. 1 could borrow the money
for the ranch, of course, but this
way 1 won't be obligated to any
one.
I'll only sign. for IL months
and they understand that"
himbrOugh will return to New
York February 6 to complete
negotiations, the paper says.

additional problems in the none
tary field which make it necessary
to review our existing monetary
machinery and to place ourselves
in a position to take measures,
when necessary, to forestall the
development of inflationary ten
denotes attributable to defects in
the machinery of credit control"
AS explained by government
economists, the fear was that, Ell
Their for monetary or industrial rea'
sons, the day might come when
prices of most articles got so high
that money would lose much of its
purchasing power. In Germany,
after the World war, a monetary
initiation went so far that a bushel
basket of paper currency would
not buy a loaf of bread.
The report asserted that while il
dealt primarily with monetary as
poets of the situation, protective
steps should also be taken in other
fields, 'tsuch as prevention of in
dustrial and labor bottlenecks, and
the pursuance of a tax policy ap-
propriate to the defense program
and to Jul monetary and fiscal
needs"
Roosevelt Silent
At the White House, it was
learned that the plan had been
presented to President Roosevelt
before its publication, but he was
not ready to comment on it. A
treasury spokesman said Secretary
Morgenthau, also consulted by Ec-
cles about it, was unwilling to COM
ment but saw no objection to the
discussion of these problems at
this time" Leo j. Crowley, chair
man of the Federal Deposit In
surance corporation, also begged
time to study the plan before say
ing anything about it.
Officials warned, however,
against interpreting this silence as
a hint of opposition. They noted
that Eccles has been M of MIR.
Roosevelt's closest advisers on
many kinds of economic problems
for years. Even though the Presi-
dent has not always followed his
advice.
The report listed five points as
follows:
+, L. Restrict bank lending by in
creasing the percentage of deposits
that the banks must lay aside as
reserves. The banks now have a
record total of 81, 900, 900, 900 Q" idle
money in excess of existing re-
serve requirements, and an in
crease in reserves would make
some of this money ineligible for
lending or investment.
2. Remove the Presidents power
to make a further reduction in the
gold content of the American dol
lar. ,(The President exercised this
authority once, in 1884, and under
remaining powers he could create
nearly 81, 900, 600, 600 of new money
by raising the legal price of gold
from $35 to $41.34 per ounce. This
power will lapse next June 80,
unless renewed. When the Presi-
dent asked it's renewal in 1889 and
obtained it over bitter COMPRESSION

Traffic Crashes Kill 127 and
Sayings, Suicides And Fires
Account For Others
(By The Associated Press)

VIZ LIN 1A0oONAdVCu 1881 .
More than ITO persons died violent
deaths as the nation celebrated the

least 127 lives. Sayings, suicides,
fires and a variety of accidents ac-
counted for the rest.
Two Kentuckians were shot to
death; three Californians died in a
train wreck; fires claimed three vic
Tins in New York, two in Massachu-
sets and m in the state of Wash
ington. A falling tree killed a resi-
dent of Wisconsin,, a fall of rock an
other in Kansas. A drowning was
reported in Pennsylvania, while in
New York a victim was. gored by
a bull.
Traffic deaths may have been held
down bp the bad weather which kept
many automobiles off the highways
in parts of the nation. Police and
safety experts, in addition, had cam
paigned widely for a program Of eau
ton on the roads. Don't drink if
you drive and don't drive if you
drink" was the tenor of their adj
monition.
St~atisticians Of the national safe
ty council in Chicago had estimated
that IS persons normally died in
traffic each Wednesday in January.
An Associated Press survey New
Years Eve showed relatively few
traffic deaths reported by midnight

early hours of yesterday (Wednes-
day..
At least 131 persons died violent
deaths throughout the nation, most
Of them in traffic accidents, or

THE WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-R0UND
By Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen

WASHINGTON - Two years ago a gaunt, tired figure lay in the Marine Hospital in Balti- more. His doctors had given up hope. Relatives were summoned to the bedside. Newspaper obit- uaries were written and in type.
 But, miraculously. crisis after crisis came and went Doctors nnarveled at the tenacious fight ing sirit that kept the frail body alive. When he left the hospital six months later, they said, If you hadn't wanted so strongly to live you wouldn't be here now"
 Today Wayne Coy, who fought his way out from under the shad ow of death, is the 37-year-old administrative boss of the vast defense machinery, a tursted ad- wiser of President Roosevelt and an intimate of Harry Hopkins.
 Slender, black-haired, nervous Coy and his meteoric rise to high place in Washington are un- known to the public. But as head of the Office of Emergency Man agement, the special agency ere ated to handle the administrat- i've functions of the numerous defense units he is one of the most potent figures in Washing ton. In the inner circle he is rated one of the ablest and most conscientious New Deal execut- ives.
 Up With Roosevelt
 Ten years ago he was an am- bilious young newspaper man trying to make ends meet with

the restless convention got down to the vicepresidency. Roosevelt had sent word that Wallace was the choice. Certain state leaders had other ideas among then hulI'-y Frank McHale, boss of the McNutt machine.
 McHale insisted that McNutt disregard Roosevelt and go on the convention floor to wage personal fight for the second place nomination.
 Only a few insiders know it., but it was Coy who was chiefly responsible for prevailing on Me Mutt to veto McHale's plan. 1t was early in the morning and McNutt hadn't made up his mind. Tired and red-eved. Coy plead ed with him, Governor maybe you can get the nomination and ravbe you can't. But if you do and the President wants Wallace, he'll never forgive you"
 In the end McNutt agreed with Coy. and that night went on the convention floor and made his dramatic good soldier" speech that clinched the nomination for Wallace.
The Nome nugget., 1941-07-16
Hostile Social Agencies

When McNutt came to Wash ington as Federal Security Ad- min;strator, he brought Coy with him as Administrativ Assistant. Coy found himself confronted by a hostile atmosphere. Some of the heads of the agencies group cd under McNutt were suspicious of him and his energetic lieut. enant.
 Coy quickly d;sarmed them by proving he understood welfare problems, had a long-range so- cial viewpoint and was interest ed in one thing-results. Today, his biggest boosters are the so- cial security people.
 He's won a reputation for as similating new problems in his stride and for driving at fur ious pace, often working fifteen to twenty hours a day. Soon af- ter Roosevelt picked him out for the big defense job, friend ask ed Coy, Wayne, doesn't you new job sort of frighten you?"
 T guess it would if l stopped to think about it. he grinned, 50 I don't think about it."

Indiana Boy Scout

Within two years Coy had be- core 2 behind-the-scenes power n the rough and tumble arena of Indiana politics, much to the disgust of certain old-.;ne polit- icos who scornfully referred to h.m as the Boy Scout"
 They couldn't quite fathom the quiet determination of this strip ling who insisted that good gov ernment instead of lush patron age was the secret of political success. That wasn't the way they operated and they rushed to the State House sputtering with fury when Coy flatly announced there would be no patronage in ihe Welfare Department.
 Feeling rose to such pitch that Coy was attacked and beaten in the corridors of the State House by henchmen of a local boss whose rule had never before been questioned.
 Coy made his first personal con acts with New Deal insiders while he was State WPA Admin istrator. He became acquainted Hopkins, then WPA boss, and son won his high regard. They worked closely together during the 1887 Ohio River flood disas- ter, and afterward Hopkins told the President "Coy's a top young ter. He's a good man to keep in mind"
 How good, Hopkins was to learn several years later at the third-term convention in Chic ago.

country paper in the little town of Delphi, Indiana. A grad ua.e of Franklin College a small institution known in the Mid ues. for its crack baseball teams, Coy got his apprenticeship or the Franklin Star and then launched out on h;s own in Delphi.
 Ccv got into public life by acci 5en:.
 Chiefly out of curiosity, he at tended a Democratic political "a ly. and afterwards made a few cogent suggestions on how the campaign should be run. Impress ed, party leaders offerede him the job of publicity director of the Democratic State Committee. The Democrats had been out of power for years and the Com a?ittee was struggling along on a shoe string.
 But that was the year Frank lin D. Roosevelt ran for Presi- dent. and a dashing university professor. Paul V. McNutt, was the Indiana Democratic nominee for Governor. Both made election history and scared into office in landslide victories.
 McNutt spotted Coy soon after the campaign began, and before it was over the young newsman was the candidates chief brain truster. After h:s election Me Mutt took Coy with him into the State House first as Under Secre tary, then as State WPA Direct or and later as head of new .Sta.e Welfare Department.
