Jones To Head Organization Of Stewards Frederick F. Jones, '35, steward of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, was named president of the newly formed Stewards Association at a meeting of a representative group of stewards held last night at the Union. The purpose of the association as stated by the new president, is to organize the house managers in aa firm union to cut the costs of living for the members of houses. The first move that has been instituted is a survey of the prices which are offered by various wholesale houses in the territory. . These prices will be kept on file at the offices of the Interfraternity' Council, under whose wing the asso- ciation has been organized, so that stewards may be able to buy intelli- gently, Jones said. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.--(P)- America was well embarked tonight on the Roosevelt policy of higher prices through a managed currency, with the commodity markets re- sponding strongly to the economic stimulus of his program. High officials of the government met and fixed the price of Recon- struction Finance Corp. purchases of newly-mined gold at $31.36 an ounce, 27 to 36 cents higher than the price paid on the London Exchange. Then they sat back to watch the results. The results were pleasing. Commodities led a general advance. Wheat was 3 to 3 1-2 cents higher. Corn gained 2 to 3 cents. All stock groups closed firmly 1 to 5 points higher. The theory behind Mr. Roosevelt's idea was that by raising the price of domestic gold above world prices he could influence domestic quotations upward. The basis of the commodity prices, economists pointed out, was gold, despite America's departure from the gold standard.+ For the present the economic fac- tors involved in the plan will be re- viewed daily, and each morning the day's gold price will be announced'. This did not mean, it was added, that the quotation necessarily would change from day to day, as it might be deemed advisable in certain cir- cumstances to let one price stand. Today's figure was set by Chair- man Jesse H. Jones, of the RFC, Henry Morgentheau, Jr., represent- ing the President and Dean Acheson, acting secretary of the treasury. The three met in Acheson's office at 9:40, received the latest foreign exchange quotations and the London gold rate. After a quarter hour's de- liberation reporters were called in and Jones read the following state-. ment : "The Reconstruction Finance Cor- poration will accept subscriptions to- day for its 90-day debentures, pay-' able in newly-mined gold recovered from natural deposits in the United States and any territory subject to its jurisdiction at the rate of $31.36 per ounce of fine gold."+ Reverend Anderson Resigns Pastorate Winter Visits Nation; Seven Thought Dead Shipping At Standstill As North Atlantic Seaboard Is Lashed By Gales New York Snowed In; One Is Missing Snow Also Blankets Lake Superior Area; Duluth Has Twelve Inches (By Associated Press) Seven men were reported drowned and one hunter was missing as win- try weather accompanied by gales and heavy snowstormns made a pre- mature visit yesterda',r.

Resting in his unostenta- tious hotel room yesterday afternoon before his address at the M. E. Church, he was the old warrior, never admitting defeat. "Warfare with the liquor traffic by church and society is inevitable. But that society will once again find it impossible to have the liquor traffic as part of its system. How long it will take depends on the education of the public. But," he declared, "it will certainly be within the lifetime "The last election," he said, "was won not on Prohibition grounds but on economic. Prohibitionists had no- body to vote for as both major can- didates were running on a wet plat- form." "However," he said, "the Prohibi- tion Party stood for only one definite principle. It hasn't a wide enough platform, and as such, will never win enough supporters to its ranks." "A third party may be the solu- tion of the present situation, but that third party must stand on a general moral platform." The eleventh annual exhibition of painting and sculpture by local art- ists will open its doors at 1:30 p. m. today to members and friends of the Ann Arbor Art Association with a reception in the West Gallery of Alumni Memorial Hall. The exhibition this year, accord- ing to Mrs. Bradley M. Davis, presi- dent of the association, differs not- ably from its predecessors in that the jury chose to adopt a more rigorous standard than formerly in passing upon work submitted. The result is a show small in size but meritorious accepted. The value of adequate craftsmanship was, however, not minimized. Comprising the jury of selection for sculpture were Carleton Angell, artist at the University Museums, and Fredrika Goodwin Mallette, sculptor, of Ypsilanti. The sculpture is shown to greater advantage this year, incorporated as it is in the exhibition in the West Gallery with better arrangements for spacing. Among the exhibitors are Carleton Angell, Ross T. Bittinger, Myron B. Chapin, John F. Clarkson, Avard Fairbanks: Jean Paul Slusser_ A _M.
