mittees were scrapping orer whicii

- The bill to allow the president
to reduce the gold content of the

as an amendment to a measure
that had been gathering dust in a
pigeonhole, tor a long time. The
house banking committee did, so
while the coinage committee, to
which the, bill bad been referred,
was preparing to hold hearings.
The senate banking committee,
which has jurisdiction orer the
bill on that side of the capitol,
heard Attorney General Cumminga
cay the measure was constitution
al. This did not entirely satisfy
Senator Glass (D-Va) however.
Already, as a concession to
Glass, an amendment had been put
into the bill to limit the opera
tions of the two billion dollar
stabilization fund to currency acti
vities. The other resignation from
the democratic national commit
tee was that of Frank C. Walker

that Walker had resigned' In No

the president's emergency council.
The statement from his office said
It bad been planned to withhold
the announcement until a succes

voting his time to the emergeacy
council work.
After numerous Instances had
been reported of persons attempt
ing to turn In gold to banks that
refused to take it because the time
limit tor accepting it had expired,
the treasury changed its mind and
extended until further notice the
time within which such gold could
be accepted.
The time limit for the Philip
pine Islands to accept the inde
pendence plan enacted a year ago
expired but the administration
was disclosed as viewing the plan
open to revival at any time. A

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17-tiPV-
Attorney General Cummings em
phatically upheld the constitution
ality of giving the government ti
tle to the federal reserve s gold
In an opinion delivered personally
to the senate banking committee
tonight but Senator Glass of Vir
ginia who had challenged this
phase of the Roosevelt monetary
program, remained unconvinced
"The monetary gold stock may
be taken by the government in
the exercise of its right of emin
ent domain," said CumnrJngs
"Such power extends to every
form of property required for pub
lic use."
He cited supreme court dect
sions to back . his view and - as
serted that every consideration of
'just payment is completely eat
isfled by the provision for pay
ment in gold certificates in equiv
alent amounts of dollars.
Commandeering the gold stock
is one phase of the legislative
program requested of congress by
the president, under which he
asked also for approval of a min
imum 40 per cent devaluation of
the dollar and the establishment
of a 12,000,000,000 fund with
which to stabilize the foreign ex
change value of the dollar.

having held office only since
Monday 33-year-old Carlos Hevia
resigned as president of Cuba late
tonight, thus clearing the way for
Carlos Mendieta, veteran nation

The resignation was announced
officially at the palace a few min

parted bearing an envelope ad
dressed to the revolutionary Jun
ta. The envelope was said to con
tain the resignation.
Without further ado, Hevia's
family began removing baggage
from the palace, preparing to re
turn to their former home. The
young Annapolis naval academy
graduate had been president 38
hours.
Mendieta is the sixth man to
take over the direction of Cuba's
affairs since last tall.
The resignation of Carlos He

ter of only tnree aays, was re
garded as assured earlier tonight.
when it was learned Mendieta had
been offered the post and predi

the absolute assurance of Hevia s
willingness to resign.

AUSTRIA GREETS
E
VIENNA, Jan. 17.-tiP)-In an
atmosphere of rumors and alarms
punctured by explosions and the
crash of shattered windows, Aus
tria prepared tonight to welcome
Fulvio Suvich, Italian Under-Secretary
of state, scheduled to ar
rive at 8 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
The purpose of the statesman's
visit was a subject of consider
able conjecture both privately
and in the press, but official as
well as unofficial sources agreed
that It must be at least regarded
as a gesture of encouragement to
Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss.
A statement made by the
French foreign minister, Joseph
Paul Boncour, yesterday that It
aly and France were agreed that
Austria's Independence must be
preserved at all costs, tended to
heighten this feeling in Vienna.
The general public, is acutely
interested in the question of what
the Austrian nazis are likely to do
to demonstrate to Suvich the
weakness of the Dollfuss govern
ment.
Bombings were reported today
from nearly every Austrian pro
vince by thousands of shattered
windows and other minor dam
ages.

The possibility that Germany
would aid Japan, as some mem
bers of the committee maintained
she would, demanded, meanwhile,
the attention of the government.
Foreign Minister Joseph Paul-
Boncour, alluding to these fears
in yesterday's debate before the
French senate, defended a Franco
Russian rapproachment and said,
"One does not ignore a country of
165,000,000 Inhabitants on the

a consequence, located in an im

PRETORIA, Union of South
Africa, Jan. 17-tip)-The lost half
of the huge Cullinan diamond, for
which a search has been In pro
gress nearly 30 years, was be
lieved today to have been found.
The discovery was made when
prospector at Elands-Fonteln
unearthed two massive and beau
tiful gems in loose alluvial stone
within three miles of where the
Cullinan was found.
The finder refused 2375.000
for the two stones, ot 600 and
726 carats. The smaller was de
scribed as "good," and the larger
as flawless.
King Edward VI 1 was riven
the famous Cullinan gem in 1907
by the Transvaal government. The
largest Jewel cut from it is the
Star of Africa", and is in the
British royal sceptre, while the
next largest is set in the British
crown.

was noticed that one side of it
was formed by a fracture, indi

ATHENS, Jan. 17.-)-Almost
on the eve of the state council's
hearing on his appeal against
overnment orders to leave
Greece, Samuel Insull took to his
bed today, on a doctor's orders.
because of a weak heart.
The condition of the former
mlddlewestern utilities operator
was described by his physician.
Dr. Voilas, as such that he could
not be moved even if the coun
cil's decision Friday is against
him.
Dr. Voilas said the erstwhile
financier, whose extradition the
United States has sought twice
in vain to face embezzlement
charges in connection with the
collapse of his utilities system,
went to bed "at my orders be
cause he is already Buffering from
a weak heart, which was greatly
aggravated on account ot recent
shocks."
"In my opinion," the physician
added, "he is unable to travel and
thus comply with the govern
ment's order.
The decision of the council will
not be published Friday and may
not be released until January 23.
The Greek government has
held that Insult's residence per
mit will not be extended beyond
Jan 31. after having already
granted Insull a month's exten
sion from Dec. 31 the council will
consider an appeal fiem this de
cision. Federal funds already allocated
for state highway work in Oregon
will be the last for new construc-i
tion for the next two years, un
less congress goes outside the
budget estimates to make federal
aid appropriations for roads, Sen
ator Charles L. McNary advised
the highway department Wednes
day.
No provision for new state
highway work financed by fed
eral money is contained in the
estimated federal budget for
1935, McNary said he had been
advised by R. R. MacDonald,
chief of the bureau of public
roads..
"Am advised by R. R. Mac-
Donald that the budget estimate
for 1935 contains no provision
for new work," said Senator Mc-
Nary's telegram. "In other words
the amount included in the bud
get estimate is for work already
initiated and which has not yet
been completed.
"It is estimated that a lump
sum will be requested of PWA,
but this is dependent upon legis
lation."

BILLION FOE CM
WASHINGTON. Jan. 17-SV
Speedy congressional action on
President Roosevelt's proposal
that he be given $1,116,090,000
for emergency activities appeared
necessary today to maintain tbe
administration's announced policy
of seeing no one cold or hungry
this winter.
The president said funds for
the federal emergency relief ad
ministration and the civil works
administration, both headed by
Harry L. Hopkins, would be -ex
hausted by February 11.
Included in the vast emergency
request wll be $350,000,000 for
Hopkins to carry on his relief ac
tivities through the spring, civil
works until May 1, and emergen
cy relief grants to states into the
summer.
If congress grants the presiden
tial request, however, the admin
istration expects to place addi
tional thousands on the civil
works rolls as a result of this
week's hour reduction order.
Communities of less than
2S00 and rural areas have been
permitted to reduce the working
