- GLASS TO SUPPORT -STABILIZING FUND Qenator Declared in Favor - of Administration Move to Extend Plan. By the Associated Press. Senator Glass, Democrat, of Virginia was said in informed quarters today te have assured Secretary Morgenthau that he would support the administra- tion move to extend the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund. But the Virginian, whose word on monetary matters carries great weight in Congress. was said to have urged reconsideration of the Treasury plan o ask for extension of the President’s power to devalue the dollar further. It was understood that Glass urged Morgenthau to let this power expire January 30, as scheduled. He con- tended further extension of the au- thority to change the gold content of the dollar would create more uncer- tainty in the business world. . If Glass fights such an extension he THE WEATHER District of Columbia—Generally fair and colder, lowest temperature about 32 degrees tonight; tomorrow cloudy and somewhat colder, probably fol- lowed by rain in the afternoon or at night; moderate to fresh north or northeast winds.
