WASHINGTON. D. C, April 19.-
Everything la going to be all right
now. Ben Smith and Tom Bragg are
Bomlng home,
i That may not
mean much to an
outsider, but the
boya in Wall atrcet
trill catch on.
Messrs. Smith
rod Bragg left the
country at an op
aortune moment
about two months
ago. When the
senate stock mar
ket 1 n v e stlgatora
started looking for
Paul Mallon
them, they had ust set sail tor Hono
lulu, or Australia: no one knows
which. They were beyond the reach
of a subpoena which would have re
quired them to testify about certain
adventures they
stocks.
Thoy are also selecting an oppor
tune moment for their return. The
stock market Investigation Is over.
Only a few days after that newa got
ut, they notified friends confi
dentially that they would be back In
New York early in May.
When these boys get back to Wall
street, there will be something doing.
They are the most ferocious of all the
bulls and bears. Their comradea In
margins call them "Peck'a bad boya"
and "the Gold Dust twins." They
won the latter title by betting right
when wo went off the gold atandard.
At least, they received inner acclaim
for having bet right, although no one
ever knowa exactly where they stand,
or even where they are.
They bob up In more unexpected
' places than Mrs. Roosevelt. They
managed somehow to get on the Inau
gural train from New York to Wash
ington. They even managed to get
a business appointment at the White
House executive offices 'on one occa
sion. They carry an air of knowing
at least a few of the right people.
The only trouble about their return
la that no one can tell whether the
market will go up or down. They
have worked both aides of the street
with equal success.
A slick scheme for boiling down
the veterans' lists by publicity heat Is
under serious consideration by those
here with authority to carry out their
Ideas.
They would post the name of every
veteran on the rolls In the postofflce
of the city In which he resides. The
amount received by each veteran and
the reasons therefore would be posted
alongside his name.
In that way, each community would
be able to Judge for Itself whether
its veterans were legitimately entitled
to their disability and presumptive
allowances.
Sponsors of the plan believe It
would result In 15 to 35 per cent of
voluntary withdrawals from the rolls.
The pun probably would be put
Into operation In a minute If It were
not for congress.
Just now, the administration Is
trying to quiet down the wild horses
on the hill. It does not want to do
anything which could be considered
a direct affront after the overriding
of the president s veto on veterans'
restorations.
There Is no real basis for objection
o the scheme, however, and It un
doubtedly will be put Into operation
sooner or later, either after congress
goes home or after the next elections.
As matters now stand, the veterans'
administration keeps Its rolls to Itself.
It will answer specific inquiries as to
whether a certain person la on the
rolls, but it does not like to.
The president's "tough guy" speech
to congress and all tho current bick
ering about taxes, silver, etc., make
It appear that the White House and
congress are at swords' points.
rvt. u true nnlv on the surface.
On the inside, the White House and
the congressmen are going vo great
lengths to keep from fighting each
other. The congressional leaders have
been permitted to understand on the
Q. T. that President Roosevelt will do
everything he can to help democratic
congressmen get re-elected. He actu
ally has planned to make a state
ment at the end of the session, con
gratulating congress on It work.
There has been some suggestion
that he Issue a public appeal before
next November for election of a Demo,
cratlc congress. He probably will not
go that far. not because of any per
sonal feeling, but because past ex
perience p.-oves that presidents alwaya
get In bad when they try to Influ
ence congressional elections.
Congressman Blanton's rantlngs
against the press do not mean any
thing. He has two buttons off his
vest and has had for a long time.
Newsmen got the lists of house sig
natures on discharge pctltlona from
a couple of congressmen who went o
far aa to have copies made, segregat
ing the signers by states. Blanton's
e'tark nn tie newsmen was nutkly
repudiated by other members of the

Insurance Head Gave Money
for Campaign Against Al
Smith to Be Expended
As Bishop Cannon Saw Fit
WASHINGTON, April 19. (AP)
The story of his activities to defeat ;
Alfred E. Smith for president waai
related by Bishop James Cannon. Jr.,
to a District of Columbia Jury trying 1
him for conspiracy to violate the
federal corrupt practiced act.
He said he met E. C. Jameson, New I
York insurance executive, through i
C. Bascom Slemp, who was White j
House secretary when Calvin Colldgc
was president.
Jameson contributed (65.000 to the
anti-Smith campaign. The bl&hop is:
on trial with Miss Ada L. Burroughs!
for failure to report receipt of all this I
contribution.
"X said to Mr. Janieaon," Cannon
testified, "that we ought to have
about aso.OOO within the next two or
three weeks to carry on the cam
paign In Virginia aa I thought it
ought to be carried on.
"Mr. Jameson aald, 'Well, I'll fur
nish you with about $50,000. How
would you like to have It?" 'Well,
I said, about 10,0OO a week.'"
Cannon aald that he told Jameson
he preferred to have a aubstantlsl
amount of the money In caah.
"He said," Cannon testfled, " 'Would
you want to carry It around?' and X
said no one would auspect I had It."
"I said. 'I know that liquor crowd
In Virginia and I prefer carrying on
transactions In cash.' "
Cannon then said he told Jame-
aon:
"I want It distinctly understood
In accepting this money, that I be
allowed to spend It when, how and
where I desire.
"He said, 'Certainly It's , in your
discretion.' "

Glenn Vollva allowed his parochial
high school and college to reopen to
day and announced that he planned
an Intense campaign to Inform the
public that control of the world by
Satan Is Imminent.
The religious colony overseer said
reopening the schools was not a con
cession to his opponents, but rather
to allow students to obtain their di
plomas. The grade school connected
with the Christian Catholic Apostolic
church remained closed.
Vollva Indicated he hoped by a
tour of the country to raise sufficient
funds to free Zion Industries, Inc.,

dling all of Zlon's commercial enter
prises, from receivership.
In making a prediction that Chris
tianity would disappear from tne

llva quoted from chapter 16 of the
Book of Revelations In the Bible, re
garding Armageddon.
"I predict the Antl-Chrlst period
forecast In the Bible will start within

period will end with the end of tho
world. The populace must be warned."

First Birthday of New Dollar
Finds Chief Interest in
What May Be Expected
During Second Year
By CLAUDE A. JAGGF.R
Associated Press financial fcdicor.
(Copyright, 1934, by Associated Press)
NEW YORK, April 19. On this first
birthday of the new dollar, the world
of finance la chiefly Interested In
what this dollar Is going to look like
on Its second birthday.
The monetary doctora widely agree
that the dollar will not buy as much
a year from now, as It will today.
Whether It will contain less gold, or
even some silver, remain mote ques
tions.
The dollar Informally left the gold
standard March 4, 1933, when the
federal reserve banka ceased redeem
ing paper currency with gold, but It
was April 19, a year ago, that Former
Treasury Secretary Woodln formally
announced the dollar waa no longer
a gold dollar, but a managed dollar.
Our monetary unit now flnda Itself
on a modified gold bullion atandard
"1934 model," according to Becre
tary Morgenthau and atrlpped from
25.8 grains of gold, nine-tenths fine,
to 15 fi-21 grains.

Under legislation enacted last May,
and last January, the president may
Increase the amount of gold In tne
dollar a trifle, that IB, to 15.48 grains,
and may decrease It substantially. In
fact to aa little as 13.9 grains.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Morgenthau have made It clear that
they wish to continue with the pres
ent dollar of 15 5-31 grains, for the
time belmr.
In the meantime the silver bloc in
congress Is agitating for greater mone
tary use of allver. The anminiatra-
tlon has been cool to most of the sli

quarters assert that any man.

final liquidation of the association.
The state corporation department an
nounced Issuance of this payment.

Charles H. Carey, corporation com
missioner, stated that the email salv
age would be disappointing to share
holders, but thla was the most -that
could be realized after the preferred
creditors were taken care of. The
company waa taken over by tho atate
In 1931, and Carey aald If liquidation
ahould be continued longer, not even
a alx per cent dividend could be sal
vaged.
Sold Asests to Equity.
The state sold all the assets of the
asoclatlon to the Equity Finance com
pany, created by the preferred cred
itors whose claims aggregated about a
half million dollara, for the amount
salvaged for the ahareholdera. Carey
said the claims of the preferred cred
itors ranked ahead of the common
stock, and the sale was the final step
In the liquidation program. The sale
was authorized by the Multnomah
county circuit court following a full
hearing.
Disposal of this ocompany malka
the first culmination of liquidation
or reorganization programa of any of
the 10 such associations which were
taken over by the atate corporation
commissioners since 1931. Nine com
panies still remain In the hands of
the commissioner, but plana were In
various atnges of progress In all other
cases. - .
Consolidation Approved,
The consolidation proposal for six
large Oregon firms has been approved
by the circuit court. They would be
formed under a "Consolidated Build
ing and Loan association" and would
continue business with the asseta of
all companies. The firms Involved
are the Western Savlnga and Loan,
Dime and Dollar Buildings and Loan,
Northern Savings and Loan, Pruden
tial Savings and Loan, and the As
toria Savings and Loan association.
The Union Building and Loan as
sociation reorganization proposal has
been delayed by legal action and the
case la now pending In the federal
Court.
Plana appear near culmination for
the reorganization of the Western
Loan and Building association of Salt
Lake City In cooperation with seven
other states, Carey said.
The tenth association, also foreign,
will be liquidated outright, but good
security Is on hand for the Oregon
ahareholdera. This Is the Inter
Mountaln association of Utah.

the pond for the new timber.
When the plant la In full operation
fore than 300 persons will be on the

outside the county the pest four
years and they both have worked for
the Owen company for more than 20
