Signing Is Delayed The final decision was that tariffs should be lowered when wheat re- mains for'four months at a price equivalent to 63.08 U. 8. cents in gold per bushel, (Calculated at the value of t!

(in terms of today’s dollar rate, the exporting nations had asked that importers cut tariffs after wheat had remained at 85 cents for four months. Importers had argued for a level be- tween 93 and 98 cents.) It had been expected that the; agreement would be signed Friday but | this was delayed by a last-minute hitch.

Isensee, Fargo. garage man, convicted in the Cass county district court of setting fire to personal property with intent to defraud an insurance company. He was sentenced to three years in prison. Isensee was convicted in December, 1931. He appealed to the supreme court, which reversed the lower court's denial of a new trial. The supreme court granted the new trial on the ground that eyidence offered by the defendant tending to explain incrim- inating evidence had been excluded, end because the defendant was asked on cross examination whether he had been an officer in other corporattons which had fires some years previous.

Hugh Johnson, recovery boss, con- centrated upon the coal conferences at which factions too bitterly opposed in the past even to deal with one an- other, had been brought into coopera- tive consultation by necessity and the Persuasions of President Roosevelt.

It had been revised by a trade |committee to provide slightly greater |hour and wage flexibility in favor par- ticularly of smaller shops and com- munities but, despite some objections, stitl banned sale of goods below fix- ed cost and prohibited cut-rate ad- vertising. Behind these big jobs the NRA was digesting codes for all manner of | small industries and trades. Friday nearly 30 agreements were set for hearing, the bulk between now and ;September 1. The number of codes received ran around 1,000, and the| NRA was busy reducing these to ac- ceptable proportions, seeking to put all possible small groups into com- binations so hearings could be held on all before the end of the year.

Miss Rose, @ nurse, already has Signified her desire to drop the charges, but Magistrate Willis R. Brightmire of Evanston set a hearing for Friday and issued a subpoena, but. she could not be found. Assistant State's Attorney Eugene Wachowski said he had dropped Plans to prosecute Smith if Miss Rose declined to press the charge, and that. he would not charge the nurse with {Perjury or deflamation’ of character. He said issuance of the subpoenae was merely to get into the record a definite statement from Miss Rose. Attorneys for both sides continued to deny that any money was paid in the case. Smith has left for the east. Friends of the nurse said they be- jieved she had left for her home at |Cooperstown, N.

The theory is that federal reserve currency or credit thus will replace the government securities in bank vaults and, since the currency and credit bring in no interest while idle, they will be loaned. Last week, the 12 central banks pur- chased $35,000,000 worth of securities, $21,565,000 in treasury notes, $13,464,- 000 in certificates and bills, and $132,- 000 in bonds. The week before, the Purchases totaled only $11,000,000. There was no direct statement as to what the federal reserve would do in the new week. Board officials said, however, that the intensity of govern- ment security purchasing—‘“open market” operations—would be deter- mined from time to time to fit busi- ness needs. Some pointed out that the twelve central reserve banks already held| $2,094,000,000 worth of government se- curities, $243,000,000 more than on August 24 last year. It was added that although this method of expanding currency had been tried previously without full success, general condi- tions now might be more conducive to benefits from sizeable open mar- ket purchases. Numerous influential. members of congress have been urging President Roosevelt to use new laws to issue more currency. Friday, at his summer home in Hyde Park, Roosevelt was to talk with |Lewis Douglas, budget director, to continue a fiscal policy discussion the chief executive began last night with Secretary Woodin of the treasury.

Will Request Return Of Samuel Insull Washington, Aug. 25.—()—The jus- tice department announced Friday that a formal request for the extradi- tion of Samuel Insull had been pre- sented to the Greek government based. upon a new indictment of Insull and 10 others charging violation of the bankruptcy laws. The offense charged is cause for extradition under most existing trea- ties and it is upon the new indictment that the United States will seek to bring the former utilities king back from his refuge in Athens, Greece. Department officials refrained from cumment lest premature statements interfere with the steps being taken in Athens where the American lega- tion is cooperating closely with a jus- tice department representative. It was understood officials hoped to make a stronger case for extradition than that presented several months ago when a Greek judge declined to permit the American government to bring the elderly Insull back to face caarges in connection with collapse.of his utilities empire. Since then the Chicago state's at- torney’s office has been working tc assemble additional evidence on which to base the new move now be- ing launched.
