Gold Price Is Increased in United States Despite General World Drop
STOCKS AGAIN
FAIL TO NOTE
NEW MURES
WASHINGTON Oct. *8. f/P>—Dis-
regarding a drop in world gold quo-
tations the administration again
today pushed upward its fixed price
for the domestically mined metal.
While the London quotation was
falling from 131.10 yesterday to
$30.57 today the price of RFC nur-
chases rose from $31.76 to $31 32.
Yesterday It stood at 66 cents above
the world level and today $125.
Little Recognition
The only apparent recognition of
the decline on the London market
lay in the fact that the domestic
increase was at a smaller rate than
In the last several days when the
London quottion was trending up-
ward.
As compared with the first price
aet on Wednesday Thursday's fig-
ures was 18 cents higher and Fri-
day's 22 cents above Thursday. The
increase today was six cents.
Economists studying the develop-
ment of the government’s new
monetary’ policy were quick to draw
the conclusion that today’s rise in
the face of the foreign decline was
evidence of a determination oy the
administration to run the domestic
quotation well above world levels.
Margin Increases
The margin between the Wash-
ington and London rates has grown
steady. On Wednesday. It was 17
cents Thursday 58 yesterday 66
and today $1.25. At the same time the
actual London price in British cur-
rencl has risen and fallen. Today’s
figure was below that of Wednes-
day.
^Dispatches from Denver and 3ar
Francisco reported a tremendous out-
burst of activity among the miners
eager to take advantage of the new
price and of huge deliveries to the
mints in those cities.
Through raising and pegging the
price of gold. Pres. Roosevelt hopes
to induce a rise in the price of com-
modities on the theory th9t gold
and commodity prices are closely
related and automatically adjust
themselves to each other.
ARAB UNREST

•cores were killed and wounded.
How widespread and well organ-
ised the Arab movement is can
hardly be gauged for few Europeans
understand the ways of the East.
There were indications however
that Arabs In a wide territory were
Sympathetic.
The Arabs’ call to action travelled
swiftly in their own channels and
wild Nomadic bedouins moved into
the cities.
Agitations said their demonstra-
tions were not directed against
Jews themselves but against Brit-
ish authorities for allowing ln-
•rsases in the Jewish immigration.
Stones Are Hurled
In Haifa crowds of incensed
Arabs tried to smash automobiles
outside a railway station when a
▼oliey of shots was fired. Youths
meanwhile ran through the city
throwing stones.
To avoid gt .eral fighting police
proclaimed a curfew law but the
Arabs attempted to rush the sta-
tion for the arrival of prisoners
arrested yesterday in the Jaffa dis-
orders.
Armored cars of Seaforth High-
landers patrolled Nablus where one
was killed in clashes yesterday.
Troops aided police also in Nazareth
and Bafed.

are dependent upon agriculture than
those actually engaged in It and
that If farmers were put back on
their feet Industry would be helped
at the same time.
The Rio Hondo man charged
that labor had been able to dom-
inate politics because of its voting
strength but that the fanners com-
posed a bloc four times as large
and if they used their power prop-
erly they would be able to get the
relief they need so badly.
Failure of various government
agencies to give much needed help
to storm sufferers in the Valley was
noted as a condition to be reme-
died.
The directors’ reaction was to
vote to send Swartout to Houston
to meet with representatives of the
Farm Credit Administration who will
be there next week to consider new
agencies for relief of farm owners
In Texas.
Various growers approved edit-
orial stand taken by The Browns-
ville Herald recently in regard to
federal aid to the fanners of this
section and regarded speeding of
certain facilities as one of the re-
sults.
W. T. McClanahan of Highland
was re-elected vice chairman of the
county association and Fred Sellers
of Santa Rosa was re-elected secre-
tary. The new office of treasurer
will be filled by Denver Hance of
Highland.
Delegates to the Rio Grande Val-
ley Growers’ Ass’n.. were named
some time ago. They are H. P.
Huntley of Primera J. J. McCarthy
of Rio Hondo and R. Roy Ruff of
the Los Indlos unit.
The proposal that members of the
growers' association do business
only with members in good stand-
ing of the shippers’ association
which is now being re-organized was
passed for the time being the
county association believing that it
was a matter for the tri-county or-
ganzation to decide.
The shippers are re-organizing
and expect to put a strong code of
ethics into effect. It was stated at
the meeting here that the growers’
association had been working on
several remedies for the marketing
association including a bonding law
and a compulsory grading Inspect-
ing and standardization law.
The association expects to “go to
the mat’’ on violations of agree-
ments which may be entered into
between growers and shippers or
other agreements affecting the mar-
keting situation. A fund will be set
aside to take violations of agree-
ments into the courts to hold grow-
er and shipper alike in line.
Growers are expecting to receive
and most shippers are expecting to
give contracts for future delivery
of vegetables in an effort to remedy
one of the evils which ha.- existed
in the past.
•We are just as opposed to un-
derhand work by the farmers as by
shippers" said Mr. Swartout.
The board of directors went on
record as favoring contrcl but r.ot
elimination of trucking. The secre-
tary was authorized to send a let-
ter to the Western Fruit Jobbers’
Ass'n. to this effect. The shippers’
organization had asked for opinion
of the growers in this matter.
It was brought out that there may
be a number of new units formed
in the near future. West Browne
Tract residents will meet Wednesday
night at Mystic Inn. La Paloma and
neighboring growers are to meet
Sunday afternoon. Combes farmers
are anxious to organize and so are
those of Stuart Place. New units
recently were organized at El Jar-
din with C. H. Pinkley as delegate
to the county association and at San
Benito with W. E. Chenoweth as de-
legate. Dr. H. Drucker. president of
the San Bemto unit was proxy for
Mr. Chenoweth and reported a sub-
unit of Mexican farmers being or-
ganized. Willie Esparza is sponsor-
ing a unit at La Paloma. A num-
ber of older units of the association
reported that they would meet dur-
ing the week including Santa Rosa
La Feria and Los Fresno*. Monday ;
and San Benito unit and sub-unit
Friday.

tion will meet again Friday night <

FARLEY’S P
WASHINGTON Oct 28. —
Whether Postm’r. Gen. Parley will
publicly put in an oar for Joseph
V. McKee candidate for mayor of
New York today became a lively
topic of speculation in the capital.
Even his best friends admitted
that the demand of Hugh S. John-
son. the industrial administrator
that McKee forces refrain from
using the Blue Eagle insignia in his
campaign had put the postmaster
general the political generalissimo
of the administration in something
of a difficult situation and they
speculated as eagerly as anybody
else upon what he would do about
lv.
Although the White House has
reiterated that it was “hands off” in
the New York political campaign
and Parley has answered all ques-
tions about his interest in the situa-
I tion with another lick at his gum or
talk about the straight flush he
held that cost L. W. Robert assist -
j ant secretary of the treasury. $100
j nobody has pretended that admin-
I istration circles were not interest-

developed there.
The administration has been
aware too. that McKee has been
drawing closer to It within the past
week and that Piorella La Guardia
his fusionist opponent has been
asking “who authorized you to tie
up your campaign with the pres-
ident?” in spite of that the White
House reiterated Its “hands off”
policy and Parley while speaking
a great deal on a tour of up-state
New York said nothing at all about
the New York political situation.

IS HUNTED BY
FEDERAL MEN
—_
NEW YOBK. Oct. 28 —UP)—Heinz
Spanknoebel pro-nazi leader was
hunted today by federal agents
under a 1927 law aimed at foreign
propagandists.
U. S. Atty. George Z. Medalie
said "he is now either in hiding or
on his way to the country.”
Spanknoebel a storm centre in a
nazi-Semitic controversy which led
to the banning by Mayor O’Brien of
a “German Day ’ celebration San- \
day was ordered arrested yester-
day.
Medalie charged that Spanknoe-
bel represented himself to be a
German diplomatic agent and that
he failed to notify the state depart-
ment of his alleged mission as re-
quired by law. Medalie declared the
German embassy denied Spanknoe-
bel was an official agent of Ger- j
many.
Medalie said the charges were
based on statements by Victor F.
and Bernard H. Bidder publishers
ot German language newspapers
here that Spanknoebel displayed
documents purporting to show that
he represented the “presse abteil’
(publicity bureau) of the Oerman
government. Official statements in
Berlin have disavowed Spanknoe-
bel.
Spanknoebel was reported to
have sailed for Germany on the
liner Deutschland but the skipper
replied to a radio query; "Span*.-

NEW STORES
^Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN Oct 28—A grati-
fying response was had by a num-
ber of merchants on the 100 block of
Jackson Street who held formal
openings of their new places of
! business Saturday.
Thousands of persons thronged
to the various establishment on
this block who joined hands in in-
viting the public to see their new
homes established or remodeled
since the storm.
The consensus was that the stores
had not merely been restored but
were more attractive than before
the storm most of them taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity to make
Improvements they had contem-
plated for some time.
Among the firms was Julians
Booterie which increased its floor
space to salon proportions A great-
er selection of footwear also was
available In the Increased snace.
Celebration day gifts were pre-
sented to visitors aivl customers
at Simmonds Booterie. home of Ret]
Cross shoes which are no'ed for
their comfort as well as their stvle.
The Hertz Style Shop. Inc. after

known line* are handled by Harry-
man-Tucker.
entire delegation would go to Pres.
Roosevelt next week for an ex-
planation.
Rep. Marland (D. Okla) said
Ickes made the statement in telling
him there was no hope for adminis-
tration approval of any of the dam
projects in the area.
Marland quoted Ickes as saying
the government contemplated mov-
ing 40000 persons from the area
perhaps to some point along the
all-American canal in California.
"It’s preposterous” he added to
newspapermen pointing out fami-
lies had lived there and made their
living for decades and that the
drought was only during the last
two years.
Meanwhile. Rep. Johnson (D.
Okla.) said he took the matter up
with Pres. Roosevelt today.
The president he said assured
him of his esteem for Oklahoma
and added he was certain Ickes had
made no such remark with serious
intentions.
Told later however of Ickes’
reported statement to Marland
Johnson agreed the delegation
should go to the president.
Johnson said: ‘ We’ll protest vig-
orously to the president. We’ll see
Ickes about it too. and give him a
chance to tell us that."
“It's difficult for me to believe a
man would seriously make such a
statement. It seems the gentleman
is feeling his oats since he came
from Chicago to Washington. And
regardless of what Mr. Ickes thinks
of Oklahomans they com pa re~ very
favorably with his Chicago ma-
chine-gunners."

the conference tomorrow.
One faction tn the convention had
favored adoption of a report of the
Joint commission on education cre-
ated last year by the general Texas
conference. That commission had
recommended sweeping reorganisa-
tion and consolidation of Methodist
schools and Institutions. The other
faction advocated the appointment
of a new commission.
The conference compromised by
endorsing the commission's report
and referring It to a new commis-
sion which would be named Jointly
by the five Methodist district con-
ferences In Texas. The new com-
mission would be composed of JO
men. Including three ministers and
three laymen from each of the five
conferences. As endorsed In a reso-
lution by the North Texas Confer-
ence. the proposed new commission
would when necessity arose func-
tion as the Joint board of trustees
for the Texas Methodist system of
education and would be directed to
carry out or modify if necessary
provisions of the report presented
by the present Joint commission.
