Edwards, head of the —Wide World Photo. Before Burke takes the witness stand the committee will appoint an Attorney to assist in the investigation and in the interrogation of witnesses. The position, it is said, will be given to an outstanding Washington lawyer who has wide experience prosecuting criminal cases in the District Supreme Court and is familiar with the history of the city’s underworld characters. Counsel Selection Deferred. Selection of the committee counsel has been postponed twice. it was planned to make the appoint- ment Saturday, but a delay was forced by one member of the committee who wanted additional time to consider the qualifications of the man agreed upon by other members. Again late yester- day a meeting was held to formerly approve the appointment but absence of the same member caused eanother postponement. OPINION ON GOLD, EXPECTED TODAY, AGAIN IS DELAYED (Continued From First Page) word ance. But there was no mistaking that “court” in any official utter- he had the excitement about the gold | cases in mind when he said: “The country can go about its busi- ness with assurance that we are pre- pared to manage the external value ! of the dollar as long as it may be Decessary.” The word “assurance” was under- scored in the official copies of the statement. When pressed for details, Morgenthau said with a smile: I spent a lot of time composing that sentence. change it.” Foreign Markets Unsettied. Apprehension over the outcome of the gold cases has kept foreign ex- change marts in contortions since January 14. Yesterday stocks and commodities were heavy and trading inactive because traders hesitated to take a positior, Morgenthau's statement said the international gold standard as be- tween foreign countries and the United States “has ceased its auto- matic operation” since January 14. On that date the principal gold currencies dropped below export point—which is $34.78 for an ounce of gold. Ordinarily, when this happens, it becomes more profitable to settle international balances by buying gold abroad and shipping it here, where it brings $35 an ounce. But potential importers of gold ap- parently feared that an adverse de- cision while their metal was on the ocean might lead the United States Government to lower the price of gold from $35. In that case they would suffer Josses. An indication that considerable profit might have accrued to the stabilization fund since placed in operation in January 14 was seen by observers in Morgenthau’s indication that banks and dealers in foreign ex- change had stopped operations since that date. In the interim more than $100,000.- 000 in the metal has reached these shores. It is pointed out that if this gold was for the account of the stabilization fund a profit would have accrued. for the metal was selling within the gold export point. For instance, on January 16, in the London market, gold sold for $34.6163 an ounce, and again on January 25 for $34.7058. These prices would have yielded a profit of 17 and 8 cents an ounce, respectively. Yet, Morgenthau indicated, dealers and banks were not shipping, which led Originally | the | Please don't make me the gold | RACE CONFERENC TALKS CONDITIONS Alley Housinb Situation Is | Reviewed by Former Char- ities Secretary.

Following Ufford’s talk, Charles Flagg, & colored real estate man and a delegate to the conference, told the mmembers people now lving in alleys would refuse to move from their pres- ent locations into the low-cost area, He described housing conditions in tne alleys as being “tragic.” Edward B. Henderson, head of the Department of Health and Physical ! Education of the Public Schools, Di- | vision 10, made a plea against segre- | gation of the colored race. He said | that in order to bring about the true meaning of a fellowship of man, no distinction should be drawn between the colored and Wwhite races, in the theaters, indoor sports, concerts or! other public gatherings.

In an effort to stop operation at the plant, ailmost within the shadows of the Capitol and within 700 yards of the House Ofce Building. business men of the Southeast section sent special delivery messages inviting the Representatives to “open their win- dows and inhale the aroma.” The wind, however, blew into the south- east, instead of from the south. The invitation read: “Members of Congress: “Do not fail to see the show place of Washington, namely, the garbage- | disposal plant operated by the Com- missioners of the District of Colum- bia at New Jersey avenue and K street southeast. This piant is lo- cated within 700 yards of the House Office Building and upon a warm day, with & slight wind from the south, its existence may be noted by simply raising your office windows.
