GOP JUMPS ON I GOLD TO USE FOR WEAPON WASHINGTON, Feb. 32. (AV Gold became a definite Issue In con gras Friday with the Introduction Af bills by two republicans—Senator | Barbour of New Jersey and Repre sentative Hollister of Ohio. They call1 Sor payment of the yellow-metal on government obligations which have gold clauses. * *1 believe,” Barbour said Thurs gMT, “that in spite of the recent de Bslon of the supreme court we should not lose sight of the fact that the government of the United Statesj has made a solemn promise, or con tract, which it later repudiated.” Some republicans said privately rf found a note of “new liberalism Herbert Hoover's statement ad vocating a return to the gold stand ard. They noted that the former chief executive did not advocate a return to the old gold dollar nor tp a free and easy circulation of the metal. Be proposed making the present 59 gent dollar payable in gold bullion. While democrats fought among themselves in the senate Thursday Aver the administration’s gold poli ties, republicans sat back in silence preferring to let their poltical op | panents emphasize the split within their ranks. There was no public comment from three prominent G. O. P. lead aim—Senators Vandenberg of Michi gan and McNary of Oregon, and Od gen L. Mills, former secretary’ of the treasury. The high-light of Thursday s sen ate debate was the assertion of Sen ator Connally (D.-Texas) that the United States already was on a gold standard and should avoid the old •ystem "which brought destruction.” Immediately Senator Glass < D-Va> repeatedly at odds with Roosevelt monetary policies, popped up to about: "We are on a fiat currency basis and following the decision of the •upreme court on a flat bond basis."

Knight, commissioner . of public safety, says the rats have been uninvited guests of the city since their ancestors arrived cm freight trains loaded with beer in the early days. Business As Ustt«l NEW YORK -Friday may be a holiday for Mne people, but it’s only Friday for about 500 police department clerks. A holiday used to mean a day off for them, but Police Comm is- j sioner Lewis J. Valentine Issued i an order that hereafter the de partment’s clerical workers must ! work on holidays. The commis- j sioner and his chief aides work on all holidays and he felt the clerks should do the same. There was a criminal lineup at police headquarters Friday, the first to be held on a legal holiday , in the department's history. I based on studies of the attitudes of 150 children of elementary school age. The children were carefully se lected, he explained, to represent a cross-section of the city. They were asked for all their pleasant and unpleasant reactions, or feelings, about their parents. Pleasant for lather, including even “barely pleasant" totalled 61 per cent. On rhe same basis mother went four and a half points higher. "This, however,” the report stated, "does not indicate a complete come down for parents as would appear at first sight, for the definitely un pleasant reactions add up to only 5.8 per cent for both parents. 4 per cent for mother and 7.6 per cent for father." A principal difference from the child's point of view is that father leans to the mental side, mother to the emotional. Reported more or less In the children's own words the typical father is “a person who works and supports you, does things around the house, takes you out places, plays games with you, helps you with homework, participates in out door activities, gives you money, ha! such qualities as sweetness and kindness, participates in Indoor ac tivities, and who trains you to mind.” Mother is "a person who does housework, does things for you. works and supports you. has such qualities as sweetness and kindness, lakes you out places, plays games with you, helps you with homework, buys food and clothes for you. scolds you when you do wrong and gives you things."

DARROW HITS PRICEFIXING CHICAGO. Feb. 22—UP)—Clarence Darrow says he believes that the NRA In Its present form will never work, because, he contends, it per mits monopolies and price fixing. “There Vs no doubt the NRA is Illegal the way It stands today." as serted the venerable Chicago crimi nal lawyer as he sat In his book filled library overlooking beautiful midway park of Chicago university's campus. Commenting on President Roose velt's plea to congress this week to extend the NRA two more years, Darrow recalled the report the Na tional Recovery review board, of which he was chairman, made to the president In 1934 upon execu tive order. After hearing some 300 complaints the board made recommendations on codes covering a out 15 Indus tries. The board advised changes In the codes. Darrow said, because each permitted monopolies for bit: busi ness and price fixing The board's (report vu attacked by Donald Rich berg, then general counael for and now head of NRA. "NRA, the way It operates, takes care of the big fellowa by price fix ing," asserted Darrow. "The little fellows have to take care of them selves by cutting prices.* He agreed with the president that child labor must not be allowed to return, "yet," be said, "it is not a bad thing for older children to work under certain conditions and hours, but it must not Interfere with their schooling." The controverted section 7-A of NRa will not work without a change, contended Darrow, "because labor can t have Its cake and eat it too. After all, when employer and work man sign an agreement they should it: k to It. There shouldn’t be out •idr interference." I> >cusstng the Supreme Court’s dension an gold Darrow termed it “ex tremely sensible " Senator Huey Long, opined Dsr ros. la a bigger man politically than most people think. He said that when the Loutsianan spoke at the lemocratir national convention here he held people spellbound with plain, unflowery language which was forcefully delivered.
