EIGHT-POINT PLAN
FOR NEW BANKS
Monetary Reformists'; O utline
Program for Government-
Owned Agency. '
AVANT PAYMENT OF BONUS
Washington, Jan. 16. (UP )
Monetary; reformists led by
Senator Elmer Thomas, Demo
crat of Oklahoma, and Father
Charles Coughlin, Detroit radio
priest, united their forces, to
night on a program for the cre
ation of a government-owned
central bank, with the value of
the dollar wcut loose from any
fixed relationship to gold.
The group formulated an
eight-point program calling for
the conversion of the 12 federal
reserve Dames into ; one central
tank, government owned and op
erated, with complete control
over issuing currency. .
Other Plans
The reformists also advocated
the remonetization of silver, de
tachment of the dollar from fix
ed relationship to gold, " cash
payment of the soldiers bonus,
and control of the dollar value
through the operations of an
equalization fund.
The program also calls for a
congressional investigation to
discover who held the outstand
ing governmental obligations on
January 1, 1935. If names of
the holders of these bonds and
ether securities are made public,
it will reveal the veritable loca
tion of the nation's credit
The group's plans also call for
the issuance, by the central bank
already described, of non-interest
bearing notes of legal tender
to replace the present issuing
of tax-exempt, interest bearing
bonds.

ERWIN
TO MAKE
SPEECH TONIGHT
IN GERRARD HALL
Government Official WiH Speak
On "Curriculum Building
In North Carolina."
TO START TALK AT 8 P.M.
Clyde A. Erwin, state superin
tendent of public instruction,
will speak at 8 o'clock tonight in
Gerrard hall on the subject,
"Curriculum Building in North
Carolina."
Superintendent Erwin, who
was formerly in charge of the
Rutherford county schools, was
appointed to his present job by
Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus in-
October. He replaced the late
A. T. Allen.
, First Visit
The state school head comes
to Chapel Hill for his first of
ficial visit sat the invitation of
the citizenship committee of the
Chapel Hill Community Club.
Mrs. G. B. Logan, Jr., is presi
dent and Mrs. C. E. Mcintosh is
chairman of the citizenship com
mittee, i
It is a little known fact that
the head of all the schools in
North Carolina attended college
for only one year. His early life
was one long struggle against
poverty. After graduating from
high school at 16, Erwin con- -trived,
by dint of ceaseless hard
work as a country school teach
er, to save' enough money to en
ter the University in 1915 as a
self-help student. '
But the needs at home were
too great, and Erwin was ob
liged to return after only one
year at Chapel Hill. He became
the principal of a small school in
South Carolina.
. In 1918, however, the educator
returned to North Carolina and
by 1925 had been elected super
intendent of the Rutherford
county schools. He held this
position until appointed to his
present office last October.

Coward's bright English comedy

Following Carl Kapec's sensa
tional "R. U. R." and Paul

Body Down," Coward's sophis
ticated drama will give the Play
makers' audiences a chance to
breathe freely again.
Davis to Direct
"Hay Fever," another Coward
play, was produced successfully
last year by the Playmakers.
Harry Davis who directed "Hay
Fever" has been given the job
of handling "The Young Idea."
Davis and his cast,, which in
cludes a number of veteran
Playmakers, have begun re
hearsals for the coming produc
tion. Ellen Deppe, one of the
feminine leads, has caused Con

of influenza.
