Roosevelt
The magazine states that none

each candidate Is- drawing nearly
three-quarters of his strength so
far from his own party support

Lemke Hurts F. It.
r The analysis of the yote for
Lemke shows he is getting four
rotes from former Roosevelt vot
ers to one from erstwhile Hoover
supporters. But his total Is only
fractionally over three per cent.

concern oyer con

day by announcement from Se
cretary Morgenthau that the treas
ury will keep a cash balance of
$1,000,000,000 as "Insurance"
against "anything unforeseen."
Because '' of "times and ' condi.

the government i will borrow
9400,000,000 this month rather
than cut into ' the- treasury's big

penses. ';:.' J ) : s J . .
The announcement was some
thing of a surprise to financial
quarters In view of President
Roosevelt's recent statement that
the cash balance would be cur
tailed. "
Morgenthau said It cost about
$2,000,000 a year in Interest to
keep such a cash glance, but
that it was a "very desirable thing
to do" because Such a reserve "Is
the. safest Insurance we can car
ry for the -American people should
anything unforeseen occur."
