AP) Senator Charles L. Me-

tonight for Washington, D. C.
with the nartlne statement that
in his fight for a high dam in

The senator decided on the
trip to Washington when word
reached here that the adminis

the Improvement of navigation

commended by the United States

the other drug stores. Johnson
immediately began consideration
of them.
The two broad codes, reaching
every community in the nation,
would blanket more than 6,000,'
000 employes under the recovery
program and at the same time fix
the administration's policy toward
the disputed question of price re

Whiteside said, In laying tne

they could be construed as actual
pricefixing to which many offi

NEW YORK." Sept. 20. (AP)
The United States, it was reli
ably indicated here tonight, will
recognize the Soviet Union before
congress "convenes in January.
Although such de Jure recogni
tion is an administrative act.
President Roosevelt was repre
sented by a consultant on for
eign affair as wishing to dispose
of this much controverted matter
at a time when he was assured
freedom of action without any
outcry from a possible Anti-Soviet
bloc in congress.
The president who has made
no puDiic pronouncement or nis
intentions was further repre
sented in several usually well-informed
quarters as having decid
ed on Russian recognition some
time ago, but has awaited a time
when the progress of domestic
affairs would allow him ample op
portunity to settle the matters in
volved..
Aside from the exchange of
notes and ambassadors, recogni
tion of the U. S. S. R. also un
doubtedly would necessitate a de
cision on the niannerof .settling
claims.
The American claims roughly
total 1658,000,000. This Is ap
portioned, principal and interest
of this governments Kerensky
loan, $272,000,000; private czar
ist debts, $86,000,000; claims ot
American industries for the con
fiscation of property, $300,000,
000. The Kremlin claims, a to
tal of which has never been set,
result from the Archangel and
Vladivostok expeditions.

PRESIDENT TALKS
Inflation Talk Recurs; Wal
1 lace Makes Plea for
, i "Long look" -
By DON J. KIRKLET
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.
(AP) Amid the clamor for infla
tion. President Roosevelt gave
thoughtful consideration to the
problem today In a long talk with
Dr. George Warren of Cornell,
who has made a study of the Eu
ropean monetary ' situatiton for
the chief executive.
For several hours the econ
omist talked over the question
with Mr. Roosevelt, relating to'
him the results of his study.
No official word came from
their discussions, but '. ae meeting
revived reports about the capital
that Warren was working out
plans for a commodity dollar.
The commodity dollar is one
whose buying power with relation
to commodities would remain con
stant, but whose ratio to world
prices. would rise and fall with
the commodity price index..
While the administration went
its way in utter silence on infla
tion, Senator Thomas (D., Okla.)
in a statement asserted the presi
dent was gradually bringing about
the expansion, but "would not
even dare admit it."
Thomas, a leader of the infla
tionary movement in and out of
congress for the past two years,
held that President Roosevelt did
not want to say anything on the
subject because "if he even hinted
it, commodity prices would jump
too fast and too high before the
money is distributed among the
people."

the secretary pleaded for what he
