Father Charles E. Coughlin, cru

night continued his attacks in
New York on Al Smith and other
critics of the Roosevelt monetary
program, with remarks that caus

York to be booed by the crowd.
GOLD BUYING PLAN

Al Smith’s Name |s Booed
In New York at Father
Coughlin’s Speech
WASHINGTON.— (AP) —Pres
ident Roosevelt’s gold buying plan
was given a spurt Tuesday: after a
week's price standstill, to top
London’s gold quotation by the
biggest margin since its inaugura
tion.
The RFC offered $33.85 an ounce
for the newly-mined domestic
metal, an increase of 9 cents over
Monday’s figure and the first boost
since a week ago—before acting
Secretary Morgenthau conferred
with Mr. Roosevelt.
During the week of unchanged
RFC gold price, the dollar and
government bonds were off, while
public controversy over the admin
istration monetary program
mounted.
But in recent days, the dollar
strengthened abroad and govern
ment bonds climbed.
In some quarters Tuesday’s ad
vance was considered to serve as
a reply to eriticism of the Presi
dent’s program.
Morgenthau told newsmen upon
his return _from Warm Springs
that the daily gold price would
constitute his only comment on the
money' program.
Tuesday's departure for Warm
Springs of Governor Eugene Black
of the Federal Reserve board cen
tered interest in possible shifts in
the monetary program, but Black
designed to discuss the subject.
PROGRAM DEBATED
NEW YORK. — (AP) — Two
schools of monetary thought have
played oratorical tug-o'-war with
the American cdollar at rival mass
meetings here.
On one side was the Rev. Char
les E. Coughlin, “radio priest” of
Roygl Qak, Mich., defending at the
Hippodrome the Roosevelt money
policies: On the other were the
crusaders, urging “sound” money
and decrying déflation. Both meet
ings were Monday night.
The mass meeting at the Hippo
drome attracted a crowd which
police estimated at 20,000, only

ments will be paid to managing
tenants and they also will share in
benefit payments in proportion to
the amount of cotton they are te

None of the money paid in land
rental will go to sharp eroppers
but they will be given a pertion
of the benefit payments basel on

Medina’s. Plan Provides
For Grau San Martin
To Stay in Longer
HAVANA.— (AP) —A plan de
signed to restore political tran
quility to strifé-racked Cuba ap
parently lacked only the formal
support of one group Tuesday to
assuré its complete acceptance.
That group was the. A B C se
cret society, one of the strongest
factions opposing President- Ra
mon Grau San Martin. Leaders
said a vote would be taken at
once. ‘
The law provides that President
Grau remain lin power until the
constitutional assembly meets
shortly after the first of the year
—instead of in April as scheduled
previously.
Colonel Fulgencio Batista would
remain at the head of the army
indefinitely. .
The first step in the formula
would be an immediate reorgan
ization of the cabinet, “with the
true representatives of all scctors
of public life named to cabinet
posts,” Medina said.
~ Thereafter, a council of 60 to be
known as the council of state
would be named and actually
would control the future activities
of the government.
The council would be selected
by representatives of ‘all present
political groups.
Should Grau resign before the
meeting of the constitutional as
sembly, his successor would be
named by an electoral college to
be chosen by the cabinet and the
council of staet,
Under the formula, the govern

Party Primary Elimination
Brings Call for ‘“‘Revolu

BATON ROUGE, La. —(#)— A
quick and unexpected move of the
sixth congressional district’'s Dem
ocratic executive ecommittee to
“nudge out” anti-Long candidates
for the sixth district congress seat
by eliminating the party primary
Tuesday was met by a call for
“revolutionary” counteraction.
Sixth district citizens, openly ex
pressing indignation, moved on the
state capital Tuesday for a mass
meeting of protesy after the dis
trict committee had met quietly
and suddenly in New Orleans—
outside the district—Monday, and
named Mrs. Bolivar E. Xemp,
widow of the late sixth district
congressman and Senator Huey P.
Long’s choice as Kemp's successor,
as the unopposed Democratic nom
inee of the party.
Committeemen who disclosed
that Governor O. B, Alleq had
quietly issued a proclamation for
a general election in the district
eight hence, said theré “would not
be time for a primary.”
“A resort to ferce by the people
of the district. would be justified.
It is obvious that Long's gang of
political thieves must be held in
check by revolutionary’ force,” said
Judge Charles Kilbourne of East
Feliciana parish, a member of the
sixth district committee whe
charged he was not notified of the
New Orleans meeting in time to
attend. .'

Suit to Halt Repeal Next
Week Now in District
Of Columbia Court
By FRANCIS M. STEPHENSON
WARM SPRINGS, Ga.—(AP)—
President Roosevelt Tuésday had
the arm of government extended
over the newly arising liquor in
dustry and the powerful motion
picture business.
In signing the .codes governing
the two groups the President
Monday night enunciated policies
permitting them to regulate them
selves but providing for strict fed
eral supervision with power of
veto and initiative.
~ In this principle some observers
‘were inclined to see a policy of
gradually returning to industry
the right of self-regulation but
with , full government authority to
supe{vise and direct. .
Gets Quick Action
Mr. Roosevelt acted quickly up
on receipt of the liquor code to put
it in form for his approval so that
there will be some control of the
whisky traffic when the repeal
amendment goes into effect next
week . A
“It is hoped the signing of this
code,”” he said in a formal state
ment, “will preyent the confusion
and uncertainty that would neces
sarily arise between the actual re
peal and the passage of appro
priate legislation by congress in
consequence thereof.”
For the motion picture industry,
he provided a 90-day trial period
during which he expects a “full
report on excessive salaries or
other emoluments, both as to ar
tists and as to executives and their
families.” Retaining complete con
trol over the motion picture code:
authority, the President named as
his first two representatives on
this group Marie Dressler and
Kddie Cantor, prominent actors,
and A. Lawrence Lowell, presi
dent-emeritus. of Harvard univee
sity. . ”1
Accepting the recommendation
of General Hugh S. Johnson, in
dustrial administrator, the Presi
dent refused federal censorship of
the motion pictures. Mr. Roose
velt asked Mr. Lowell to “observe”
the operations of the movie indus
try to keep its own rules in this
respect. +1

CAPITOL PHONES
REMOVAL TALKED
Covernor “Will Have No
Phone at All,” If He
Can’t Have Cheap Ones
ATLANTA, Ga.—(AP)—Gover
nor Eugene Talmadge said Tues
day he was “beginning to think if
I can’t get cheap phones, I don't
need any at all.” .
The chief executive declined to
comment on rumors circulating
around the capitol that a number
of state governmental agencies
might discontinue telephone ser
vice if a rate reduction order of
the Georgia Public: Service com
mission 1s restrained by = federal
court injunction at Gainesville.
An injunction petition has been set
for hearing Thursday in Gaines
ville. .
The governor emphasized Tues
day that his remarks applied “only
to my own telephones”those at the
exeeutive offices and at the gover
nor’s mansion.
He said he “might have some
thing to say” if. a decision favor
able to the telephone companies is
announced at the hearing in Gain
esville.
“We ought to have 1918 tele
phone rates now,” he said. “Com
modity prices are as low, or lower,
than they were then. We ought to
get business phones for $5 a month
in Atlanta instead of $10."
In a speech at Hazlehurst re
cently, the chief executive said if
rate reduction orders for tele
phones and anticipated reductions
in electric rates are tied up by in
junctions, “we’ll take out more
telephones, . and burn more oil
lamps and pine knots for light
than they ever dreamed about.”
