INVOLVEDJN SUIT
Right of Government to Call
Gold Bonds Before Ma
turity Challenged Re
fund in Gold Demanded
WASHINGTON, March 12. AP)
Millions of dollars In savings to the
si( treasury through cheaper Interest
, rates today were involved In Robert
A. Tail's challenge to the govern
ment's right to call gold bondst be
fore maturity.
The treasury's gold bond debt was
M. 565. 000. 000. Of these S 1.945. 000.
were under call for redemption prior
to their maturity dates, the holder to
receive either devalued dollars or a
new security paying lower Interest
and lacking the gold clause.
How much Interest might be saved
through the New Deal's policy of re
funding such Issues could not be es
timated accurately since It depended
on market rates for money at the
time of refunding flotations. But
experts believed that if present easy
money conditions continued, the sav
ing would mount into many millions.
tn a suit filed In the court of
claims. Taft contended the govern -
ment had no right to call Its gold
clause bonds In advance of maturity
without refunding them In gold.
The capital wondered if one an
swer to Taft's challenge might be an
act of congress closing the court of
claims to suits such as his. Presi
dent Roosevelt enf erred with mone
tary and legal advisors late yesterday.
It was Intimated afterward that their
discussion concerned litigation to
prevent the court from entertaining
suits to collect the old gold value of
government bonds.
Some goernment attorneys ex
pressed confidence that, even If Taft's
action Is not blocked by a congres
sional ban against such litigation, It
would be defeated In the courts.
They acknowledgpd the supreme
court ruled recently that congress
had no right to nullify the gold pay
ment promises contained in govern
ment bonds prior to June, 1930.

McALESTER. Okla., March 12.
(AP Under threat of a tear gas
barrage, more than 200 men, women
and children "!inger marchers" were
ousted today from the courthouse
where they had threatened to stay
until they were given food, clothing
and jobs.
The demonstrators, unemployed
coal miners and farmers and their
families who had occupied the court
house since last Friday, offered no
resistance when city and county offi
cers appeared at 3 a. m and threat
ened to release the bombs unless the
place was cleared within an hour. .
Before they started lo leave, the
sheriff gave the leaders his personnl
check for $100 to purchase food, but
insisted it was a donation and "not
a bribe to leave."
As the Jobless filed out of the
building in small groups, deputies es
corted them to the city limits.
The rageed assemblage of whites
and negroes had spent most of the
night praying, singing hymns and
listening to a negro quartet.
Yesterday they had refused to leave
the building to accept food sent from
Oklahoma City by Gov. E. W. Mar-
land. They said they were afraid to
Jesve for fear they would be locked
out. The food, carried In two army
trucks, remained untouched. Instead,
the marchers munched sandwich-?
purchased with a S10 donation from
Mayor Bryan Burton of Krebs. a vil
lage three miles from here. He told
the demonstrators they could come
to the Krebys city hall to cook their
food.

"Tariffs, Debts and America's Pros
perity" was the interesting subject
of Aiden G. Alley of New York City,
representative of the National Coun
cil for the Prevention of War. who
was guest speaker at the rerular din- !
ner mrttns of Mdfvd K!-n'.s club j
at Hotel Med ford last nlht.
Members of the club heard Mr.
Al ley outline as t he ca u.v of the
depression, retaliatory tariffs, which
he said sprang up in a race amons
the nations and finally resulted in
a deadlock. He said qiiDta sfor ex
ports were set that took only a small
part of each country's manufactured
product.
Explaining the Intricate mechanism
of trade between the nations and
how at the present time many of the
nations cannot pay back what tney
owe. the speaker declared that the
Ideal situation would be for each
country to specialize in exports and
imports. For instance, lie said Ger
many should manufacture chemicals
and optical goods, and the United
States should produce wheat, corn
and hogs, a these products are the
natural ones for these respective
countries.
Mr. Alley said reciprocity treaties
are now being formed between the
United States and about 50 coun
tries. He said that the Unld
States' first reciprocity treaty, with
Cuba, resulted in an lncrea.se of 100
per cent in trade between those two
countries.
Speaking of the Instability of the
money of the world, the speaker said
the United States Is owed between
20 and 30 billion dollars. He said
that she cannot expect to get it all
back, but by Intelligent handling of
world affairs, a large portion can be
salvaged.
Mr. Aalley offered as a sensible so
lution of the debt question, payment
of debts In merchandise, out said
unfavorable tariffs muM. first be re
moved from this country. He said
bankers are terrified by excessive
holdings of gold In the United States,
and afraid of inflation. With mer
chandise as a medium, tie decla-ed
these difficulties ould be overcome.

on the quality of materials

Why Silk-Sifted gives good Flavor
To bake cakes, pastries, and breads that are
