DENVER, October 2.—A United States currency system including both gold and silver, with a “metallic base” as opposed to a “managed cur- rency,” was the specified goal of the West's metal mining operators today.

Charging that Mrs. McPherson’s jealousy of her daughter'’s suitor started the present trouble, the evan- gelist’s mother, Mrs. Minnie (Ma) Kennedy, said: “I am prepared to throw the whole force of my resources and my very retentive memory on the side of my granddaughter in this matter, and am prepared, if necessary, to take court action to protect Roberta against mismanagement of her affairs.” She spoke of the epispde 10 years ago when Mrs. McPherson disap- peared for several weeks, later telling authorities she had been abducted and held captive in Mexico. “Almee begged at that time for mercy because of her children,” de- clared Mrs. Kennedy. “She garnered in countless thousands of dollars by picturing to her congregation pitiful acenes of little Roberta hiding in the cellar in shame because of newspaper headlines about her mother. “Now that same mother all but repudiates her own child, and largely because she is jealous of the man by whom Roberta is being courted— Jacob Mojdel,” said Mrs. Kennedy. The point at issue is the delega- tion of power at the Four Square Gospel Church. SRR B S Traffic Charge Pondered. Great Britain thinks of putting into effect a charge that will permit police to make arrests for “conduct while in charge of a car calculated to involve danger to the driver or other road users.” FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1936.
