- He and his guest. Ramsay Mac-
Donald. Great Britain's prime
minister, with a host of advisors
studied methods of steadying the
world's monies and gradually re

The chief executive's principal
means of attaining this goal was
arousing a storm of dissension
In congress, hut was destined be
fore many days to receive con
gresstonal approval.
This was the section of the In
flationary legislation pending In
the senate under which the pre

reduce the gold content of the
dollar. With authority Mr. Roo
sevelt could make agreements
with other nations whereby all
would reduce the gold backing

(AP) The hangman's hand was

Judd tonight by a superior court
jury which found her Insane.
At dawn next Friday she was
to have been hanged for murder
of Agnes Anne Lerol. Instead she
will be under the care of physi

Phoenix.
Tomorrow she will enter the
portals of the Institution which
will be her sanctuary until, if ever,
her mind is adjudged to have re
gained its balance.
Tonight the fact that death on
the gallows once more had passed
her by this time perhaps forever
made no apparent Impression
on her consciousness or emotions
She did not betray by the flick
