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

it also will raise prices of industrial

between the two will remain virt

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

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.

--
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

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

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.

FACTOR'S SON
SAFEATHOME
Kidnapers Free Youth
at Chicago
Chicago, Apr. 21. (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.

President Roosevelt behind the

administration plans a moment after
Chairman Fletcher of the senate
had reported the inflation plan fa
vorably to the senate. Robinson in
sisted that the inflation becczne a
