PAOE THREE
EASING OF. CREDIT
I
TO
Expenditure, of 300 Million
of Frozen Gold Hoard,
Buying Short Time Fed
eral Securities Is Plan
. WASHINGTON. Sept. 14. (AP)
The government began Monday a
new credit-easing course of action
designed to assure continuance ol
the . "easy" money which fiscal au
thorities have credited with spur
ring business recovery.
It provides. ( 1 ) for expenditure
of ft300,000.000 of the treasury's
"frozen" gold hoard the first re
lease since the gold "sterilization"
program was begun last December;
and-.- 2 for open market purchases
of short-term government securi
ties. Fiscal authorities kept a close
watch on the day's erratic stock
market, but official comments on ef
fects of the new credit program were
few.
Hit Selling Pressure.
Noting early market gains and the
later sharp recession, one high fiscal
authority said It appeared many
traders merely had been waiting a
slight upward tilt In quotations to
renew the liquidation movement of
recent days.
Stocks mounted one to three points
In an opening market rally, but later
'selling pressure wiped out gains and
cut some securities to even lower
levels.
The government security market
followed the anticipated course in
pointing higher during early trad
ing, with some bonds recording a 83
gain per $1000. A later loss of part
of these gains brought expressions
of surprise from some authorities.
Aid U. S. Securities.
Federal reserve board officials em
phasized the purpose of the credit
plan was not to support the gov
ernment security market, but It
generally was assumed the program
would have this collateral effect.
This program wjts agreed upon late
Sunday by the federal 'reserve
board. Fiscal experts said it was a
logical continuation of the board's
recent policy of lowering rediscount
rates of reserve banks.
It also marked, they said, a dis
tinct reversal of the policy of tight
ening money rates initiated with the
gold sterilization program. At that
time, however, banks held large sur
plus lendable funds. The policy
then was to prevent credit inflation.
AAA MAY BOLSTER
PRICE OF. APPLES
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. ( AP)
The Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration, officials said today. Is
considering action to boost the price
of apples.
Under study are the possibilities
of large purchases of surplus apples
for relief distribution and of organ
izing marketing agreements to con
trol supplies and improve prices for
producers.
Apples brought about 61.50 .a
bushel to farmers in June and aver
aged better than SI for the short
crop last year. Recently the price
has been below SO cents a bushel.
Crop experts have predicted a
204. 3 19. 000-bushel crop this year,
about 75 per cent more than last
year and well above the recent aver
age crop of about 165.000.000 bushels
When prices go too low, the AAA
esld, the public does not benefit
because the fruit Is allowed to rot
in orchards not being worth the
cost of picking.

IS
TO SETTLE UNION ROW
OVER RED LABEL BEER
Gov. Charles H. Martin is asked in
a letter mailed yesterday and made
public today by S. J. Christie, presi
dent of the Southern Oregon Hop
Growers, and Ben Hilton, state execu
tive committeeman from southern
Oregon, to take whatever steps may
be required and are within his au
thority to end the factional union
dispute which is alleged to prevent
the delivery of Red label or mid
western beer in this state and Wash
ington. The letter to the governor said
that hops are one of the major agri
cultural products of Oregon and
that 99 per cent of them are sold to
the brewers of the so-called Red la
bel beer. The brewers threaten to
boycott Oregon hops unless some
thing is done to permit delivery of
their beer, the letter asserted.
The threatened boycott would be
disastrous to Oregon hop growers.
who have spent over five million
dollars for labor alone, employing
many thousands people in the pro
duction and harvesting of the 1937
crop the letter stated.' The letter
declared that the bop growers have
no quarrel with organized labor but
asked for protection against bank
ruptcy resulting from factional un
ion strife.
