B—13 1.8 N INFLATION ROAD, SV LS Stresses Importance of Non-Political Control of Monetary System. By the Associated Press. SCRANTON, Pa., December 20.— Ogden L. Mills declared last night the road of the “Roosevelt revolution™ leads directly to “progressive and un- controlled inflation.” The Secretary of the Treasury in the Hoover administration, addressing the Century Club, added: “Uncontrolled expenditures and in- ereasing deficits, on the one hand, and authority to issue inconvertible cur- rency and to manufacture credit, on the other, if unduly prolonged, sooner or later mean inflation. * * * Declaring he ‘“cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of non- political control of our monetary and credit systems,” Mills urged the “free- ing of the Federal Reserve System from political domination and a resto- ration of its original functions.” It's not too late, he said, “to put our financial house in order. But make no mistake. It's getting late. ..o “I do not say the administration cannot turn back: but unless there is a very definite change in public senti- ment, it has loosed forces that will drive us the road we are now traveling: and at the end of that road there's a precipice.” The “danger,” Mills said, does not lie in relief needs, “but rather in the administration’s faith in Government spending as a means of promoting recovery.” STRATOSPHERE HOP PLANS ANNOUNCED Geographic Society - Army Air Corps Balloon Sister of Ill. Fated “Explorer.” Plans for another National Geo- graphic Society-Army Air Corps stratosphere balloon flight in & giant 3,000,000-cubic-foot sister of the bal- loon Explorer, which burst last Sum- mer, were announced Wednesday night by Dr, Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the society. As in the case of the expedition last year, Dr. Grosvenor said, the so- ciety will assume the major portion of the expenses and will manage de- tails of the project, while the Army will supply the personnel. Two of the three members of last year’s flight crew probably will take part in the new flight. Maj. William E. Kepner, who commanded the 1934 flight, will not be available. Capt. Albert W. Stevens, world famous Air Corps photographer and scientist, will again make the trip as commander and observer-photog- rapher. Capt. Orvil A. Anderson, co- pilot on the 1934 flight, will be chief pilot, with First Lieut. Randolph P. Williams of Langley Field, Vg. as chief of ground operations and pos- sibly as second pilot. STORM CRIPPLES SHIP British Steamer Limps On in North Pacific. SAN FRANCISCO, December 20 (#)—Brief messages relayed .o the Coast Guard Station here last night reported the British steamer Ben- lawers partly disabled by a North Pacific storm about 1,700 miles west of Seattle.

She carries a crew of ap- proximately 40 men. 15-HOUR Cl:iASE ENDS ‘Wolf Finally Shot, Dogs Fall Asleep by Carcass. AURORA, Mo., December 20 (P).— Bert Calhoun, farmer, told of a walf chase that lasted 15 hours and ended with a 38-pourd animal dead and the three pursuing hounds so tired they fell asleep by the carcass. . The chase started at 8 one night and ended at 11 the following morn- ing with the principals so tired they could move no faster than a walk. A hunter killed the wolf with a shot- gun, the dogs arrived a moment later, growled feebly and went to sleep. Germany to Assist “Pro-Deo” Plan to Fight Godlessness Reich, Already Divided by Nazi Policy, to Op- pose Bolshevist Drive. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, December 20.—Germany, divided internally by religious dissen- gion, has joined an international “Pro-Deo” movement against “God- less” Bolshevist propaganda. Headed by Prof. Simons, retired president of the Supreme Court, the German section’s co-operation will largely be of an advisory nature, since the government has rigorously sup- pressed Communist religious propa- ganda. Both Protestants and Catholics are represented on the new group. Under the Nazi regime Germany has seen the advance of a “third religion,” the Teutonic or Pagan Faith move- ment, which holds the state and Chancellor Hitler as objects of vener- ation. The Protestant Church has been split over a unification movement led by Dr. Ludwig Mueller, who is armed with dictatorial powers, while both Protestants and Catholics have op- Eed the Faith movemen! irresistibly forward along| Beauty "and Catherine M.

BLACKBURN 801 Chandler Bldg. 1427 Eye Bt National 5778 IFIGHT PLANNED ON HOUSE BLOCS Movement Seen to Make It Difficult for Administra- tion Opposers. By the Associated Press. A movement to make it harder for House blocs to press forward with measures disapproved by administra- tion leaders was revived today. This was disclosed by some House supporters of the administration, who declined to be quoted. They said or- ganization drives by powerful minor- ities had caused leaders to change their minds about discarding the movement, 218 Signatures Required. Briefly, the plan is to require 218 signatures on a petition before a bill can be forced to the House floor for a vote. This is a majority of the House. At present, a bill must be brought to the floor if 145 signatures are obtained on a petition to discharge a measure from a committee. After the last Congress adjourned, there was much talk of passing the new rule on the first day of the com- ing Congress. But in the race for high House posts recently, the idea, called a “gag rule” by its opponents, quietly dropped out of sight. Townsend Plan Viewed. The Townsend plan to pay $200-a- month pensions to elderly people who would agree to spend the money im- mediately was mentioned by some House members as a reason for reviv- ing the restraint on minorities. More and more members daily are being asked to pledge themselves to support the Townsend plan, to which high administration officials are cold. Drives also are under way to put across the 30-hour week legislation and other measures on which high administration officials have not smiled. Slip Ends Life at 100.
