But thul action was reconsidered und on un other vote to eliminate the revalu ing feature the count wus 10 to 10 which, under the senate rules, de feated Ihe motion lo strike from the bill.

Price Fixing Scheme Is Held Still Required Wallace Says- Inflation is Not KnouKh i Must hMre Trade Bulanre to (live Fanner Chanre, Siirclnry Now lielieveii Washington, Apr. 21. (LP) The price-fixing provisions of the furm relief bill still are needed to restore agricultural commodities to their "lnir value" despite inflation pro posals before congress, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace feels. A. Wulluce views it inflation would not properly effect a balance between the goods the former buys and those he sells. Wallace, il wus said today, was en thusiastic, however, about the bene fits which he expects inflation to provide Ihe farmer. Since under inflation fixed charges such as telephone rates, rail road fares und tuxes would remain the same, an increase in the price farmers received for their products necessarily would give them a sound purchasing power. The social theme of inflation, it was exolained. is aimed ut boosting ' commodity prices ull along the line without prctudicta 1 lavor to lurm While it will probably products. ! e.Mabllsh better values of crop issue, it also will raise prices of industrial j products so that the actual balance between the two will remain virt ually the same as under deflated values. , Briefly, the explanation of Wal lace's sentiment toward effects of in flation upon the American farm structure is thus derived: Suppose, for instance, that infla tion causes a rise in the price of plows, clothes or building matt-rials. Hypothetic-ally, it simultaneously , if! It cause a rise in me price j wheat, corn or hogs. The farmer (gels more money fur his products. but his purchasing power is nun: improved because the price of his plow, his clothes, and wood for his barn also have done up, leaving the relation between what he receives (Continued on page three) HERRHVTSAYS VISIT ISFUTILE Is Reduced to Role of Listener I By Ralph Hemen I ftTnitrd Prw Staff CrtrroMndnt I K'opyrlirtit. 1'J33. by Unitt t'rew) J Aboard S. S. He de France, Apr. ; 21 (LP) America's abandonment of the gold standard has left Edouard Herriot reconciled to the role of speechless listener at his forthcom ing mcetinas with President Roose- I velt and Prime Minister MacDonald I of England, but he has decided not 1 to cancel his Washington visit, it I wns lenrncd today. I Herriot will go through with his ! trip as scheduled unless his govern iment orders hinvto come home, it I was made known after the former premier , had spent many hours studying the changed world finan cial situation. The program of con versations originally laid out by President Roosevelt has been made useless by the abandonment of gold, the French party feels, and it is ex pected that Roosevelt will be pre pared to offer a new economic pro ject when his visitors arrive. Members of Herriot's party had thought the French mission rend ered useless, and suggested it might as well re-embark when it reached New York and return to Parts. Herriot, however, decided to fulfill his program. His plans for his talks with Roose velt were completely reversed, how ever. Elaborate files on monetary ! nnd economic subjects were discard ed. 'France must be more prudent than ever," he snid, 'we must move with caution". Professor Charles Rist, under gov ernor of the Bank of France, one of Herriot's advisors, thought that France, on the gold standard, might prove to the United States and Great Britnin the advisability of a rapid stabilization of the pound and dollar. He pointed out that France's pres ent position was "flattering to pres tige" but meant from the practical viewpoint the loss of all hope of selling her silks, textiles, and auto mobiles abroad against the competi tion of a depreciated dollar. FALLS OVER CLIFF WITH EXPLOSIVES Road Worker vSaves Life With Strong Arms -- Ontario, Calif., Apr. 21. (IP) Es cape from an almost certain death for Charles Short, 18, who fell over a 50 foot cliff holding a box of dyna mite and a bag of caps, today was attributed to strong arms and pres ence of mind. Short, state highway worker, slipped while carrying the 125 sticks of dynamite and fell to a rock ledge. He grasped the explosives and caps so firmly that they did not explode. He suffered a wrenched back and sprained ankle. FRANCE PLANS TO REMAIN ON BASISOF GOLD Hope Britain and U. S. Will Return TO CURB INFLATION: Talk of Living Inside Wall During Financial Storm Heard in Paris Aboard S. S. lie de France, at Sea, : April 21. IP Former Premier Ed- j ouard Herriot was understood to j feel today that the world economic j conference may be shaken and de- layed, but not wrecked, by gold j developments in the United btates. Paris, Apr. 21. (LP) France will resist efforts to force her off the gold standard, believing that the United i States and Great Britain will return to a basis simultaneously within j a short time, it was learned in au thoritative Quarters today. French bankers believed that all j countries now off the gold standard j would return within a few weeks or a few months. They believed that instead of countenancing inflation. the bank of France would maintain I francs in circulation in accordance with actual business needs and take measures to prevent speculation. Minister of Finance Georges Bon net spent the mornipg in confer ence with M. Moret, governor of the bank of France, Charles rarnier. sub-governor, and other financial officials. They studied latest reports from the United States. "Without underestimating the dif ficult period ahead," the well in formed financial news service. Agence Economique, said, "it should j be emphasized that our country is. able with the smallest inconvenience to live inside a closed wall during i the course of the monetary battle; about to begin. Additionally, the advantages American commerce ex pects to obtain through devaloriza- ition of the dollar will hardly be more than temoorarv." No immediate changes in the: French'tariffs were thoueht possible in official circles because of the changed situation, which added to general skepticism toward President Roosevelt's economic conversations. MOTIVF.S HELD DOMESTIC London. Apr. 21. (LP) The mo tives which led President Roosevelt to take the United States off the gold ! stnndaid were purely domestic, the Washington correspondent of the powerful London Times said today in a dispatch to his paper. He re- iuted the widely held British beuet that the action was based on inter national political motives with the object of improving Roosevelt's bar-! gaining position in his forthemingj enferences with Premier Ramsay MacDonald. The international aspect, the Wash ington dispatch said, was secondary, Frcsident Roosevelt, it said, orginal lv intended to withhold the new gold embarco until after his conversations j witn luacuonaia ana representatives of other European nations. But the weight of the inflationist movement in congress forced immediate action ; to prevent passage of an unwise inflation measure, the correspondent said. HAVANA STUDENTS FEAR TERRORISTS Four More Bodies Taken to Morgue Havana Apr. 21. (LP) Additional scores of students went into hiding today as news spread that the bullet-riddled bodies of four youths had been received at the morgue. They were the latest fatalities in the wave' of terrorism that swept Havana after a series of bomb ex plosions on the eve of Good Friday. Presumably the bombs were set by enemies of the government. At least 25 youths were reported to have been killed in reprisal. The atmosphere of the capitol re mained tense, with the military and police maintaining a close guard and military censorship still in force. Unwonted activities were reported at the presidential palace where President Gerardo Machado was be lieved in conference with his sec retary of state, Dr. Orestes Ferrara, and political advisors. It was understood that the United States was expected to name a new Cuban ambassador within a few days. Major Luis Pcrci assumed his du ties as new military dictator of Santa Clara province, where bomb ings had increased greatly. He re placed Lieutenant Rogelic Rojas Mei.

(LP) Jerome Factor, 19-year-old son of John (Jake the Barber) Factor, was re turned safe today by kidnapers who held him for eight days. Young Factor appeared at the home of his mother, Mrs. Leonard Marcus, at 2 a. m. He said the kidnapers freed him after telling him they had been un able to obtain ransom. He revealed he had been forced to write three notes to his father asking $100,000 ransom. Factor previously had claimed the demand was for $50,000. The youth's father also said he had paid nothing to the abductors and expressed belief his son was freed due to fears of the gangster forces and police who aided in the hunt. However, indications were that some payment was made for the youth's release. The release of young Factor, a studious, quiet lad. brought one of Chicago's most sensational kidnap cases to a climax. The young man told police he would have difficulty in. identifying his abductors. "They made me take off my glasses or face n way from them when they came into the room where they kept me," he said. "Sometimes they wore pillow-cases over their heads." The kidnap hideaway apparently was about a two-hour drive from the northside apartment where he wns seized, Factor said. He said his treatment was kindly through his imprisonment. Wednesday night the kidnapers removed Factor to a new hiding place, he said. Last night he was told he was going to be freed. The kidnapers placed him in an automobile and drove him for about an hour before releasing him. The youth's father said he would ask police to release three suspects in the case arrested by police on in formation obtained from gangsters who volunteered to aid Factor to recover his son. He assured author ities he would cooperate in attempt' ing to apprehend the abductors. SINGER'S BROTHER DIES Los Angeles, Apr. 21.
