WASHINGTON, May 10. (Jp) The
opinion, that Issuance of S2,OOO,0O0,
000 In new currency to pay off the
soldiers' bonus u-ou:d constitute In
flation to the extent that It created
a "fear psychology that would came
& rapid velocity of funds" wa ex
pressed today by Marrlner S. Eccles.
governor of the federal reserve board.
If such means were used over and
over again to pay government debts,
the value of currency would depre
ciate In proportion to the fear creat
ed, he added.
Displace Fxlsting Money
He testified to a senate banking
subcommittee on the omnibus bank
ing bill while a delude of telegrams
arrived at the White House urging
either approval or veto of the Pat
man bill for paying the bonus by 'a
attlns new currency.
Questioned by Senator Couzens (R .
Mich), the former Utah banker said
the $2,000,000,000 new currency that
would be issued under the Patman
bill would "not increase the amount
of money outstanding" because it
would displace existing currency.
In itself, he said, the bill would
provide no more inflation "than if
you put out that much of govern
ment bonds."
Senator Glass (D., Va.), who op-,
poses the Patman measure, said It.
If enacted would "make It so easy"
to pay government Indebtedness with
new money that the government,
printing presses would be running In
definitely. Control Nwessary
Eccles testified that public con
trol of national credit end monetary
policy was essential to promote re
covery. He denied the measure would make
the reserve system a "football of
party politics o: an engine of in
flation." "The proposals made in this bi'l
are definite and limited in scope and
arise out of the experience of the
past 20 years. They are not revolu
tionary: they do not alter the fun
damental character of the federal re
serve system, or the regional nature
of Its organization."
"There is nothing in this bill that
would increase the powers of a po
litical administration over the re
serve board," he added.
Reading from a long prepared
statement. Eccles asserted the "need
for public control of the function'of
supplying the .medium of exchange
to the people of the United States,
both by issuing currency and by reg
ulating the volume of banks depos
its, seems to me to be almost a non
controversial matter.
"It is in direct recognition of the
constitutional requirement that con
gress shall coin money and regulate
the value thereof."

ROCKET SHIP WILL

IF IT S PERFECTED

P Ad A DEN A, Cal. (UP) Aeronaut
ical exports of the California Insti
tute of Technology estimate that
with the solution of mechanical dif
ficulties rocket ships can be built
capable of flying 4400 miles per hour.
The panes would resemble dragon
flies, with thin stubby wings and
long spindling bodies. Their noses
would end in air-ptcrcing points.
Such a plane was designed by Wil
liam Bollay, graduate research stu
dent. He calculated that a rocket
ship must carry 85 per cent of its
weight In fuel liquid oxygen and
gasoline. This mixture would be ex
ploded in a propelling exhaust from
a Jet at the tail.
The plane would take off at 95 ;
miles per hour, climb to the strato- i
sphere at 90.000 feet in five minutes,
and have a celling of perhaps 120.000 j
feet. The climbing rate would be ten j
times that of the fastest military
Mechanical difficulties are far be- J$

itles. he said. There would first be
the task of constructing a stiff tubu
lar fuselage and wings that would f'.i

Ordinary ships would melt from w
the heat of tlie air friction, he said, it
Thepllot must be protected some- &
how or he will be scorched at one
end and frozen at the other. Liquid
oxygen for the fuel is of sub-rreeztng
temperature, whll ethe rocket Jet ex
plosions would reach several thousand
decrees centigrade. Bollay explained.
Scientists here agreed that the first

made along this line.
producing drugs in the barbituric
acid group, the commissioner pointed
out that nine deaths from the dis
ease had occurred here in the first
ten weeks of this year.
"How close the connection may bo
is still a moot question." Fronczuk
declared, "but health authorities are
awaiting the final decision from the
research laboratories and clinics as
to the possible effect on the blood
of using these sedatives to excess.
Exhaustive study of the problem is
still going on and the final word
ha not yet been spoken.
Until something more definite is
known, we can at least avoid the
possibility of it (lukemia) being
caused by excessive use of barbituric
acid by avoiding the use of the va
rious sedatives and hypnotics which
an so frequently advertised as "non
habit forming drugs."
Friday, May 24 and Saturday. May
25. will be Poppy Day In Medford
On these days the women of Medford
Unit No. 15 of the American Legion
auxiliary will distribute little nd
paper popples on the treet to be
worn in honor of the World war dead
The observance here will be part of
the annual nation-wide observan-e
of Poppy Day? during which million
of Americans will pay tribute to the
memory of the war dead by wearing
memorial poppies.
Poppy Day activities here will be
directed by a committee from the
Auxiliary headed by Louise Cleaves,
chairman. A large corps of volunteer
workers will be organized to cany
out the distribution of the flowers.
The Doner noooles which will be
' ' worn her have been ordered from
the Veterans hospitals In Portland
and Roseburg. where they have been
made by disabled World war veter
ans. The poppy making has provided
employment for needy veterans
through the winter and spring
months, enabling them to help sup
port themselves and families. Public
response on Poppy Day will determine
how soon and how extensively this
work can be re-opened.
In exchange for the paper noppleH,
the Auxiliary women will ask each
person to make a contribution for
the welfare of the war's living vic
tim's, the disabled veteerana, the wid
ows and the fatherless children of
veteerans. This money will be used
entirely . in the welfare work of the
Legion and Auxiliary, the bulk of It
in the work of the local post and
unit.
A prediction by the United States
department of agriculture is that the
prices of farm machinery In 1935 will
be slightly higher than during the
preceding year.

CAT POPULATION
ROME (UP) Another roundup of
cats to be domiciled in reclaimed
areas of the Pontine Marshes will
be undertaken shortly, officials said.
The new battalions of cats will
replace those who have returned
to Rome from Llttorla, a distance
of 40 miles, where they were taken
last summer and during fall months.
The roundup will serve a two-fold
purpose. It will provide caSa for the
new areas and help rid Rome of Its
only offensive night noise. Now that
all motor traffic must travel with
out use of horns, Rome's nights are
only broken by the cries of thous
ands of cats for which the city Is
famous. There probably are more
cats per capita In Rome than any
other city of Its size tn the world.
To avoid the possibility of cats
growing tired of the quiet surround
ings of the Llttorla Province and re
turning to Rome, they will be trans
ported In darkened boxes and driven
over Rtg-wg routes after dsrk.
Officials will avoid collecting the
legions Irom the Flora, since the
first contingents of mice hunters
were selected in those sections of
the city.
