World Bank,
Fund Makeup
To Be Fixed
Russia san Out
On Eve Of Meeting
In Savannah, Ga.

Savannah, Ca. Feb. 2i-(up)-
Some $50 delegates from most OF the
countries OF the world will assemble
at the General Oglethorpe Hotel at
Savannah March 3 10 work out the
physical makeup of the Breton
woods International financial
agreements.
They will organize the rnterna-
tdonal Monetary Fund and the In
tenatlonal Bank for Reconstruction
and Development. Thirty-five coun-
tries have signed the agreements.
The fund, according to Treasury
financial experts, will take the
gamble out Of information financial
transactions. In short, II will stabi-
lie currencies. II is expected to put
trade on a sound financial basis
lust as 1t is domestically.
Under the agreement, the fund
must approve any devaluation OF
currency. Thus currency values will
be kept in check. Countries may
borrow from the bank to reconstruct
in the wake Of the war and develop
new industries.
The fund was originally set up at
$500, 000, 900 and the capital Of the
bank at 100000, 900, but since all
the nations have not yet signed the
agreements the totals for the fund
and bank will be somewhat lower by
the amount Of quotas assigned to
each Of the holdoutS. The U. S. has
the largest quotas.
Largest nation not yet signed is
Russia. Her quotas are 81, 200, 900 900
in the fund and a like amount in
the bank. 1t is understood that
these unsigned countries will have
until the end of the Savannah con-
ference to affix signatures Whether
they will get another chance could
not be learned. A decision will be
made at the conference.
Actually "A nations will be repre-
sented at the conference as nations
which have not signed have been
invited to send observers.
1t is expected the home Of the
fund and bank will be in New York
City or the immediate area.
The location and many other inn
portant matters will be decided dur
ing the conference. Committees will
be formed shortly after the opening
of sessions and during a period of
two weeks the conferees will deter
mine the basic program of opera
tons. The programs will be set in
operation late in the Summer or
early next Fall.

ties magnate, was Ickes' favorlte
opponent. Tckes, president Of the
Peoples Traction League, predict
ed insults collapse with It's result
ing scandal. Ickes never did feel
that fight was completely finished
even after insult died--until Chi
cago recently got its downtown
subway which he had been seeking
for years.
Any opponent, big or small, Is
okay for Ickes. When Ickes became
a cabinet member he shocked poll
ticians with something almost I'M
heard Of. He dashed out at a U.
S. Senator-and with all his ma
tured, barbed wit. The victim was
the late Huey p. Long Of Louisiana.
Said Ickes: Long has halitosis Of
the intellect.
The issue was over whether
Long should control Federal funds
going into Louisiana for public
works during the depression. Ickes
was determined there would be no
graft. The scrap was waged all
over Washington, but Tckes won.
What little money eventually got to
Louisiana under the public works
program was checked carefully by
about three of 1ckes' inspectors for
every dollar that was spent.
Always ready to do battle for his
personal ends which he considered
justified, Ickes is just as ready
to give a hand to anybody
else whom he thinks need it. Even
the Daughters of the American
Revolution didn't stop him. When
the OAR refused the use of Con-
stitution Hall to Marian Anderson,
because she was a Negro, he gave
her permission to sing from the
steps of the Lincoln Memorial and
personally presided. More than u.s.
900 persons assembled at that con-
cert on a beautiful Easter Sunday.
Ickes break with the Democratic
party is nothing new. He always
Tough regardless Of party. When
Jim Farley was also in the Cabinet,
Farley travelled from Washington TO
New York to speak for Joseph Nc
Kee, the Democratic candidate for
mayor. Ickes made the same trip
at the same time to speak for his
good friend, Fiorello LaGuardia,
the Republican-FuSion candidate
and victor.

In Suburbs

New York, Feb. 2l-CUP)-Sub-
urban store development will be
pushed by retail, department and
speciality stores in their more than
81 900. OOO,O renovation and ex-
pansion program during the next
few years a United Press survey
showed today.
The new suburban stores, plan
ned by many Of the nations lead
ing retail firms as a major part OF
their postwar expansion programs,
generally will be of the horizonta
type with extensive frontage. mini
mum transportation requirement
and adequate parking facilities.
Most OF the stores planning such
programs will spend an average OF
81 900 900, according to present sta
tistics, although in individual in
stances the figure will run consid-
erably higher. However, store
generally are hesitant about pre-
dieting their total expenditures In
this line because of price and cost
uncertainty, but the overall total
sum Is believed to go well into the
billions" the National Retail Dry
Goods Association said.
Although some expansion pro-
grams have been planned on a 10
to 90 year basis, q large percentage
OF the immediate. enlargement Is
expected to be hit by veteran hous-
ing ratings requiring large amounts

The Civilian Production Admin
istratlon has made known that

materials will be awarded returning
servicemen for the construction OF
housing. The action, which win

Out Of WedIOck

Copenhagen, Feb. 2l-(UP)-The
case OF the Danish schoolma am
who demanded leave OF absence to
have a baby out Of wedlock became
a political issue today after Prem
Ter Knud Kristensen told an election
rally that he thought the lady was
setting a bad precedent for other
unmarried women.
Kristensen objected particularly
TO the casual attitude of the school,
teacher, Miss Inger Merete Norden-
loft, toward the whole affair.
The 46-year-old Miss Nordentoft
is Communist member of the Rik-
sdag, in addition TO her school
work, and she expects her baby
sometime in April. Meantime, she is
on maternity leave from both jobs.
Kristensen, who has been attack

thought Miss Nordentoft was all
wrong in defending the right of I'M
married women TO have children.
