MaUoD B7 PAUL MALL ON. WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 18. Vo one has paid much attention to ' those Industrial and financial big ' fellows who have been casually dropping Into the White House singly or In twos and threea dur ing the last few , weeks. They come out very tight-lipped and offer some excuse for their presence, which usually Is not worth printing. When anyone asks the president about It, he laughs off the question and starts ' talking about something else. The truth behind It Is that, with out any fanfare. Mr. Roosevelt start ed out six weeks ago at Hyde Parle to see every prominent busi ness leader in the country. He has seen about 60 so far and before he gets through he win have seen them all. You may take the word of one near the top. who knows that the president is not merely sounding out opinion or trying to quiet trie business element. He has what the boys upstairs call "something big" In mind to start things going. You cannot find out from his callers what It is, even If they talk in their sleep. The president is very cagey with them. He asks a great 'many questions about a great many things. They cannot tell what par ticular things he Is serious about. They suspect that the money sit uation may be In the back of his mind, but If he follows any of the advice he has received he will pro ceed toward a more stable money policy instead of a more inflationary one, For instance, they are Inclined to believe he may be getting ready to stabilize or more definitely ap proach stabilization. S i Tha Idea of a silver devaluation commensurate with the gold devalu ation atlll seems to be fairly good. There might even be a Blight further gold devaluation. If so, such steps woUd probably bo accompanied by an announcement of . a permanent stabilization at the new levels. These things are, of course, merely expert guesses, but at least they reflect a new line of thought. One thing Is certain. Whatever la ultimately clc I'lded on and announced will be designed to be good for business. ' 4 No one believes that what the president aa in mind refers only to money. Likewise no one knows definitely when he will spring It. Something may come at his Octo ber 24 speech to ti:e American Bank ers' association. The speech has not yet been written. When he called off the radio broadcasting arrange ments for it, he did not intend to aay much, but there are indications that ha may now be changing his mind. Some of it will be reserved for his coming message to congress. It may be denied now, but he is al ready working on that document, although congress Is not scheduled to meet until January 1. That may or may not mean that he intends to call a special session or congress after the November election. Special Body Ordered Im panelled Saturday Death Penalty Will Be Demand ed For Crazed Abductor. SPRINGFIELD, O., Oct. 18. (AP) The two-day-old tratl of Thomas H.

"The action of said parties consti tutes & flagrant and defiant violation of the laws of the United States," Sparks said, and urged an Immediate grand Jury investigation, 'Earl J, Connelly of the Cincinnati bureau, department of Justice, said a typewriter found in the Indianapolis apartment where Mrs. Stoll was held had been shown by tests to be the one on which the long, rambling note was written, threatening death to the victim and her family. .... ' A possible clue to the whereabouts of Robinson was seen in a report from Hopklnsville, Ky., that one of the 10 bills had been found there, Federal agents were notified.

It will be the one he makes to the convention leaders, who will come to see him individually at the White House dur ing the convention. There are reas ons for be'.ievlng that this speech will bear down heavily on the boys for the kind of co-operation Mr. Roosevelt had been crying about. Watch out for Rumania.

The amount of these bonds outstand ing 10 years ago waa $1,007,740.
