ROOSEVELT PLANS
TO LOOSE MONEY
IN CLOSED BANKS
President Calls On
Leaders To Outline
Systems For Credits
Washington, Sept. 23.—President
Roosevelt has summoned his finan
cial leaders to work out plans to
assure the credit for his reinvig
orated price-lifting drive that now
is focused on lagging agriculture.
Release of millions of dollars in
closed banks and a pumping into
trade channels of other idle mil
lions now on deposit in banks was
described today as the main ob
jective of the parley which has
been set for tomorrow night.
By moves this week and others
still in contemplation the adminis
tration is stirring sagging farm
prices to new activity. Cotton and
wheat advanced today with the an
nouncement that the government
stood ready to loan on minimum
prices in agriculture commodities.
Mr. Roosevelt has said he want
ed farm prices to catch up with in
dustrial prices in the upward swing
promoted by the NRA campaign.
He is relying on the promise of
federal backing to stimulate the
bankers to extend the needed credit
to support the expansion drive.
Immediate inflation of currency
has not been indicated but this
weapon is in the handß of the Pres
ident if he requires it.
Secretary Woodin heads the
group called into conference for
tomorrow night by Mr. Roosevelt.
Others understood to have been
invited are the heads of the federal
reserve board, the reconstruction
corporation, the bank deposit in
surance corporation; and the farm
credit administration.

Bad Breaks Lose
Game For Elkin
(Continued From Page One)
North WUkeeboro pushed over an
other touchdown.
Elkin started a touchdown march
on the kick-off of the second half.
Transou took the ball on the twen
ty yard line and advanced it fifteen
yards. The march continued to the
ten yard line where the threat end
ed when the ball'was lost by a fum
ble.
With less than two minutes left
to play in the last period the
"Buckin' Elks" threatened the goal
line. Burcham tossed a fifteen
yard pass from his forty yard line
to Capt. Chatham who carried it to
the ten yard line where he was
pulled down from behind. The
threat ended when a pass fell in
the end zone.
The team as a whole showed up
well for the first game. Only five
of the playerß were regulars from
last year's team. The new men
gave a good account of themselves
and will probably replace some of
the veterans in the game here Fri
day with Wilkesboro. Seventeen
men were used in the game.
The work of Hall, Wade, Dick
Harris and Sale stood out in the
line. The entire back field played
a good game.
The team came out of the game
without injuries and should be in
good shape for the game Friday.
The line will be strengthened by the
return of Dockery Sale.
Dr. Royall Heads
Compliance Board
(Continued From Page One)
that if the complaint is true it must
be rectified immediately.
If the employer fails to comply
after having his obligation fully ex
plained to him, he will be given an
opportunity to appear before the
board and state his case. This hear
ing will be to give the employer
every opportunity to make a vol
untary statement of his side of the
case so that any misunderstanding
may be cleared up, or If, after every
attempt at conciliation, the employer
persists in non-compliance, a report
of his case may be forwarded to
Washington with a recommendation
that hia blue eagle be removed by
federal authority.
The local compliance board has no
powers of enforcement except upon
express directions from Washington.
It is pointed out by General Hugh
S. Johnson, national recovery ad
ministrator, that rumors of non
compliance injurious to NRA mem
bers should be discouraged. In
stead of gossip, the thing to do is
to bring complaints with the facts
to support them, to the local com
pliance board.
Postal Telegraph
Service Available
A complete postal telegraph ser
vice has been installed In the South
East Public Service Company build
ing in thia city. An agreement be
tween the telephone company and
the postal telegraph company en
ables telephone patrons to have

Mefttiages telephoned to the office
will be promptly delivered to any

CARS ARE DAMAGED

Accident Occurred Near
Thurmond; None
Are Injured
Ae the result of a collision near
Thurmond Sunday afternoon, the
automobiles of T. B. Wall, of State
Road, and H. B. King, of Greens
boro, were damaged to some extent
but no serious Injuries resulted for
the occupants.
The accident was said to have
occurred on a curve when Wall at
tempted to pass a truck. It was
said he failed to see the Greensboro
car, which was approaching from
the other direction, until too late
to avoid an accident. The King
machine struck Wall's car on the
left side, damaging the running
board, rear fender and rear wheels.
Both machines were towed into El

The objection to capital punish
