William Langer of North Dakota said > here Monday night he will carry his \\ tight for an embargo on outstate wheat shipments to the U. 8. su- preme court. Gov. Langer, here for an overnight visit with W. G. Skelly, Republican national committeeman for Okla- homa, said he would telegraph P. O. Sathre, North Dakota attorney gen- eral, to give notice of appeal from a ruling of a three-judge federal court in Fargo Monday. “I intend to fight this action to the last ditch,” he said. ‘The judges held invalid a law sponsored by the governor and placed in effect Oct. 16, 1933, declaring it interfered with interstate commerce, which is subject to action only by congress. A group of North Dakota elevator companies joined in bring- ing ‘the suit. Tuesday Gov. Langer will fly to Oklahoma City, where he will ad- dress the annual convention of the Oklahoma Farmers Union. The federal court decision ended the first test of a law passed by the last legislature giving the governor power to declare embargoes on agri- cultural products when prices fell below cost of production. Attorney ; General P, ©. Sathre said.he would study the decision before deterntin- 4ng whether to «ppeal to the supreme court, but that he believed such ac- tion might be taken. He said the appeal could be taken directly to the high court. ‘The ruling held that the embargo Jaw was in direct conflict with the commerce clause of the constitution and that the state has no power to interfere directly with interstate commerce “regardless of economic " conditions.” “The case,” the decision said, “is not primarily a conflict between the police power of the state and the rights of individuals, but a conflict between the power of the state and the power of the United States with respect to a subject with which, un- der the constitution, congress alone has the right to de Governor William A.

Judge Michael Feinberg immedi- ately ordered the panel of prospective jurors into the box. ‘The Touhy gang's second reckon- ing with the law on charges that they are members of one of the country’s most notorious kidnap rings began be- fore a courtroom virtually bare of spectators. As part of the elaborate precautions taken to safeguard the trial, spectators were limited and all were carefull scrutinized and searched at the courtroom entrance by dep- uties. ‘Factor, victim and the state's No. 1 witness, entered the courtroom for a few moments before the defendants were arraigned. Selection of the jury, it was obvious as the trial got under way would be & lengthy process. Defense Motion Denied Judge Feinberg summarily disposed of a defense motion to quash the in- dictments on the grounds that the grand jury was illegally empanelled. He deferred action on two other de- fense motions to suppress certain phases of the evidence. Late Monday night two of the State's principal witnesses, Mrs. Clara Szech, 47, and her son, Edward Schaubauer, were returned to Chicago from Wisconsin and placed under po- lice guard in a hotel to insure their Presence at the trial. Mrs. Szech, the state claims, was employed by the gang as @ cook in the house where Factor, who upon comple- tion of the trial faces extradition to England on a charge of embezzlement, was held prisoner last summer while ransom negotiations were carried on for his release. ‘The woman and her son were taken into custody on a farm near Platte- ville, Wis., to which they had fled. Mrs. Szech’s home is in Des Plaines, Ill. Meanwhile, extra precautions were taken to guard the other witnesses, in- cluding Factor himself, who has said he will identify the defendants as his abductors. Besides Touhy those charged with the kidnaping are Albert Kator, Ed- ee U.S, AND ENGLAND SEEN AS FACTORS IN MONEY CONTEST Dollars and Pounds to Be Pawns In Manipulation of Stabil- ization Funds BRITISH PLAN IS COPIED London Already Has $1,900, 000,000 Available to Steady Foreign Exchange New York, Jan. 16—(?)—With dol, lars and pounds as pawns and pros- perity the stakes, Uncle Sam and John Bull are preparing for an extraordi< nary contest in finance—but whether they will play as partners or opponents remains to be seen. The United States is preparing to duplicate the huge British equalizae tion fund for which parliament has appropriated funds approximating close to $1,900,000,000 at the current rate of exchange. President Roosevelt, in his message to congress Monday proposed the crea- tion of @ $2,000,000,000 fund to control the value of the dollar in relation to the British pound sterling, and also, if necessary, to steady the market for U. 8. Government bonds. Inflationists in this country want to see the dollar decline in relation to the pound. The committee for the nation has suggested a rate for the dollar as low as $7 to the pound. Re- cent rates have been between $5 and $5.50. London was happy when, a year ago, the pound was around $3.35 and it was felt in international banking circles at that time that about the highest the pound could be stabilized would be $3.50. At the start of the economic conference last June it was understood the British could not en: dure a higher level than $3.80, though they later agreed to a tent tive stabilization around $4.20. Compromise Is Limited ‘What the financial world now awaite to see is whether the two giant fin- ancial powers will compromise upon a rate at which to stabilize their cur- rencles, perhaps somewhere within striking distance of the old parity of $4.86%, or whether the two giant funds will engage in a contest for advantage. So far as can be learned in sources close to the federal reserve bank, ita relations with the bank of England are most amiable and some financial quarters believe that if a compromise could be reached the two funds might indeed cooperate to restore world monetary stability. ‘The operations of the American and@, British funds may, for instance, drive France off the gold standard and cause a fall in the value of the franc. Bankers recall that the British aus thorities have used the argument of the effect of the pound on American prices in seeking remission or post= ponement of the war debt payments, ‘When sterling was off gold and fluct« uating, and the dollar was still on gold, the British pointed out that payment of the debt installment would require selling pounds and buying dollars, thus depreciating the pound and tend- ing to depreciate American prices. Government Seeking Prize Money in Suits Washington, Jan. 16—(#)—Priza money of around $40,000,000 Tuesday was disclosed as the eventual goal of Attorney General Cummings in a series of diversion tax suits against big corporations making alcohol.
