J AGGER (Copyright, 1934, by the ' : . Associated Press) " KEW YORK, Jan. Jl. J dent Roosevelt's proclamation de ' valuing ; the dollar tq, 5. n-.-cent .of former gold, parity, late today brought a prompt decline In the dollar in terms of foreign currencies, and prompted an up turn in the Pacific coast securi ties markets where trading was still in progress. . Foreign exchange dealing was still via progress in: New, York when the announcement of this momentous . monetary step was flashed to banks and other finan cial offices, bat exchange dealing abroad had ended several boors previously, and principal security and commodity markets both hers and abroad were closed. -' Wall Street international bank ing quarters Interpreted the more as a return, at least tentatively to the International gold bullion Standard, and a definite stabiU xatlon of -the dollar in terms of foreign, sold currencies, while cir culation of gold for monetary pur poses, either in the form of coin or bullion, was still prohibited in fernally. r Some financial authorities here Toreaaed the opinion it saved the way for a huge expansion of cre dit and should greatly facilitate the flotation of ; the , additional 15,000,000,000 in new federal bonds which the treasury proposes to Issue before June SO, next. ? " Some banking circles suggested that devaluation of the dollar to as low a level as J 1,0 jper:; cent of its old parity migntwell prompt a huge flow of gold from abroad, and1 that further foreign gold : purchases to stabilize the dollar might be unnecessary. With some $2,000,000,000 of fugitive American capital, accord ing to rough estimates, still broad which may rush back in view of the more definite status of the dollar, some bankers felt that an inflow of gold might r e a e a proportions difficult to manage, unless the stabilization fund were to take action to oM set it. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-ff)-Gold that was worth 4,029,100, 000 at S o'clock today jumped in value by almost $3,000,000,000 at .Jrlft o'clock with the signing of the devaluation ordered by President Roosevelt. " ' WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. - (JPf An International .gold bullion standard is the way treasury ex perts describe the new monetary position of the United States, - The citizen can't demand gold at the treasury.

The bridge across the ravine which the .Y built would be replaced with a highway bridge and the present kitchen of the camp, the only permanent structure there, is in the survey for the right of way. Other im provements made by the Y in elude a water system. Sec. Kells found the county court sympathetic. County Judge Rosenburg was one of the donors of the land and did not know that the new road would affect the camp. The court promised to see if the road could be rerouted , to avoid : hurting the camp site and the engineer is to run new lines and make estimates. The Oceanside camp has what is regarded as one of the finest natural locations of any camp in the world; and the Y has been ambitious to develop it properly into a year-round camp for recre ation and nature study.

The former Gann Valley, S. rancher, turned desperado, was taken in a northside barber shop. He was unarmed and offered no resistance.
