New That
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 Mr. Roose
velt la getting so cagey he even keeps
his advisers from knowing exactly
what he has In mind.
Nevertheless some of them have
been able to put two and two togeth
er. They think they can perceive
what he is trying to do.
They are convinced that the new
deal is now entering its third distinct ,
phase. And Incidentally they are
rather - happier about the prospects
for a successful conclusion of this
stage than they were about the other
two.
Billions
Here Is the way they figure It out:
The Warren theories are being filed
away In the lower drawer of the
presidential desk.
What is In front of the president's
eye now Is a project of pouring bil
lions of government money into the
hands of the people to accomplish
the same objects his other experi
ments failed to produce higher price
levels and renewed business activity.
He is using relief as a vehicle for
ttrtiiilntlnn.
TVila iin1stnn fnlrlv npll bol
stered by the fact that he has asked
congress to appropriate about six bil
' lion dollars and failed to tell congress
what the money la for.
Vagueness
He lumped four billions of proposed
expenditures under the RFC. His
agents explain that lndeflnlteness by
saying the RFC Is making a lot of
commitments on preferred bank stock
and such things. No one else In
Washington thinks they need half
that much for commitments thus far
apparent. (He also neglects to count
around $700,000,000 repayments the
RFC expects in 6 months).
In addition he has called on con
gress for $1,116,000,000 more for this
year and $2,000,000,000 more for next
year, anc) refrained from lumping
these sums under any heading.
The agents explain that by saying
he wants To take care of odds and
ends in his various. relief agencies.
So you can figure that he will have
around six billion dollars for unltem
lzed odds and ends. The oddity of It
Is apparent to all who know about
budgets, and so Is the end.
Purposes
There Is only one other thing Mr.
Roosevelt could be planning to spend
these dollars for, aside from passing
them out to people. That la to In
augurate a free gold market.
No well Informed insider here be
lieves that is advisable in view of the
experience so far with the Warren
theory.
They sec other strong Inner evi
dence that Mr. Roosevelt does NOT
intend to embark on such a serious
step. For Instance there are indica
tions that Prof. James Harvey Rogers'
theory of a managed currency along
the lines advocated by John Maynard
Keynes is making more and moia of
an Impression at the White House.
It calls NOT for tho Warren commod
ity dollar or bidding up the gold price
but for stabilization.
Hints
Mr. Roosevelt himself hinted at a
change of heart In his congressional
message. He spoke of an ultimate
dollar which "will have over the years
less variable purchasing and debt
paying power."
Up to now Mr. Roosevelt has been
talking about a dollar which would
have exactly the same purchasing and
debt paying power from generation
to generation. This was the commod
ity dollar.
Another hint Is the way we are go
ing aft- foreign trade. Creation of
the Peak bureau in the state depart
ment certainly shows the period of
trade isolation through unsettled ex
change policies must be n earing a
conclusion.
But the most Important fact to the
Insiders is that the dollar has been
virtually stable during the past 30
days.
Strategy
These deductions suggest Mr. Roose
velt may evolve his strategy along
the following general lines:
1 Get his budget through cpngrcss
and then get rid of congress.
2 Feed out hi money here during
an expected spring rise, so as to bring
a strong resumption of trade.
3 Devalue and stabilize the cur
rency In six months or so through an
agreement with Oreat Britain.
He can pay for part of the money
fed out witn profits from devaluation,
but he would have to sacrifice some
thing to get an secernent with Bri
tain. He might have to go back to
the old exchange level of M 86.
Conservative
That is a far more conservative
program than had been expected.
It is basically different in theory
from what has been attempted so far.
The flrtt pha-vs of the new deal was
to so off the gold standard? and capi
talize monetary uncertainty to stimu
late trade. The second was the Did
d:ng up of gold prices to stimulate
prices. Bot;. we:e artificial devices
hich did not fit in snugly with the
domest'c reform efforts through the
NRA. ;WA et al.
The new idea hits much better. It
has its dangers of oe r-5pendmg but
economists mil certainly be more
Would Regret Any Political
Interpretation of Action Is
Word Must Be No Let
down in Work He Says
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 10 (AP)
After 18 months of Intensive, vital
service as general director of the
state unemployment relief commit
tee and the civil works administra
tion program in Oregon. Raymond B.'
Wilcox has submitted his resignation
to Governor Meier.
Wilcox, through whose hands about
$2,000,000 for unemployment for re
lief has passed, said the pressure of
private business required that he
resign. Governor Meier said: "This
Is a great shock to me." He gave no
indication whether he would accept
the resignation.
Action Unrevealed
There was. likewise, no Immediate
indication what action Harry Hop
kins, national CWA director, would
take.
"On account of pressure of private
business," Wilcox wrote the governor,
"I find it necessary' to resign as
chairman of the state relief commit
tee, to take effect Immedltaely.
"I have greatly enjoyed the work
during the past year and a half, and
particularly the recent organization
of the civil works administration,
and deeply appreciate the hearty sup
port which I have had from you at
all times.
"I have telegraphed Mr. Hopkins,
federal civil works administrator, of
my action In order th he may make
necessary arrangements for continu
ance of the civil works administra
tion In Oregon."
Regret Political Slant
"I would regret it exceedingly."
Wilcox said today, "if any political
interpretation were placed on my act
of resigning. My reasons for resign
ing are stated fully aad completely
in my letter to Governor Meier.
"There can be no question of Gov
ernor Meier's accepting the resigna
tion, as I have definitely stepped
out.
"The splendid state relief and CWA
organizations I have built up," Wil
cox continued, "wilt run on their
own momentum for a long time to
come. Any changes made In the
structure will be at the instigation
of Governor Meier or his appointees.
"There should be absolutely no
letup in relief work throughout the
state, as the staff Is very efficient.
Any of them Is at liberty to consult
me at any time on knotty problems,
and I will continue to render all the
service to the state that lies within
my power, but not in the position
of chairman.

nation Flares in Holland
Action Is Surprise
AMSTERDAM, Holland, Jan. 10.
(AP) Popular Indignation flared In
various sections of the population
today at the news of the execution
of Marlnus Van Der Lubbe, young
Dutch brickmnson, In Leipzig for the
burning of the German rclchstsg
building.
The citizenry appeared surprised,
since It had been thought that Pres

because of the representations of the
Dutch government.

LEIPZIG, Germany, Jan. 10. (AP)
Marlnus Van Der Lubbe, 24-year-old
Dutch stonemason, was beheaded
today for firing the German retch
stag building In Berlin last February.
He had repeatedly confessed set
ting the fire, but steadfastly refused
to divulge -any Information as to
whether he had any accomplices.
Van Der Lubbe had been under
i-entence of death since December 23
when the supreme court convicted
him .nd acquitted four co-defendants.
Mercy Denied
Steps through which the Dutch
government sought to gain a lighter
sentence for the young Hollander
were unavailing.
Late last night Van Der Lubbe was
Informed by the Leipzig prison gov
ernor that Justice must take its
course, but the announcement failed
to arouse him from the stupor In
which he remained virtually through
out the long trial.
Van Der Lubbe did not reply to
questions of whether he wanted a
clergyman to attend him on the last
walk to the guillotine nor did he
express any special wish.
Bell Tolls Doom '
At 7:25 o'clock this morning, a
few strokes of the prison bell an

man was paying the extreme penalty.
Few realized, however, that It was
Van Der Lubbe probably the most
talked-of criminal in recent years.
There had been no Intimation un

Paul von HIndenburg would decline
to pardon the Dutchman.

Second Step in Campaign to
Determine Validity Under
Way in Marion County
Court Home Rule Crux
SALEM, Jan. 10. (AP) The con
stitutionality of the Knox liquor con
trol bill was taken under advisement
by Judge L. O. Lewelltng this after
noon following completion of argu
ments by both sides of the case.
Lewelltng requested both counsels to
present their court citations and
briefs as soon as possible, but did
not state when hi would hand down
his decision.
SALEM, Jan. 10. (AP) The second
step In the legal campaign to de
termine the validity of the Knox
liquor control bill in Oregon got
under way here today In the Marlon
county circuit court when argu
ments were heard on the demurrer
in the case filed by the city of Klam
ath Falls against the state liquor con
trol commission.
Constitutionality of the act was
challenged by the plaintiff on the
grounds chiefly that It violated the
home rule amendment, and this
phase occupied the major portion ot
the time of counsel for both sides la
the presentation before Judge L. O.
Lewelltng. The Judge several weeks
ago denied a motion by the plaintiff
for a temporary restraining order, and
arguments presented at that time
were embellished today on the second
hearing.
Intention Cited.
Contention that the act should be
interpreted for the fundamental pur
poses for which It was enacted and
further that the Intention of the
legislature and the people In the pas
sage of statutes and constitutional
amendments be considered were pre
sented as the main argument by Jay
Bowerman, representing the liquor
commission. He was assisted In bis
demurrer presentation by Qeorge Neu-
ner, attorney for the commission.
Elton Watklns, representing the
city of Klamath Falls based his argu
ment on decisions of courts and opin
ions of the supreme court holding
that under the constitution cities
could legislate concurrently with the
state, but not tn conflict, and- that
the home rule amendment, known
as section a, article 11 has "always
been a living thing, supreme and ex
clusive." Judge Late.
Following a 48 -minute delay in
starting the proceedings to test the
constitutionality of the act passed by
the special session of the legislature,
because of the failure of Judge Lewel
ltng to arrive from his home la
Albany on schedule, the court an
nounced that Judge Leavltt of Klam
ath Falls, who was to assist Watklns
In the arguments could not attend,
but would be permitted to file his
briefs. This wis taken to Indicate no
decision would be handed down by
Lewelltng for several days.
