IS The warning sounded before the board of the RFC last February, by Ogden L. Mills, then Secretary of the Treasury, was read into the record of the Senate's banking probe of the Guardian Detroit Union Group today. All Federal Reserve Gold Would Be The minutes of the RFC follow: Mr Taken Over by Treasury as Part of Giant Equalization Fund WASHINGTON, Jan. IS (A. Party leaden predicted tonight a tremendous vote of confidence in President Roosevelt's monetary program when Congress acts on his requested legislation for a minimum cut of 40 per cent in the gold value of the dollar and for bringing into the Treasury the Country's entire stock of monetary gold.

Preparations went forward for speeding his proposals through Congress. Senate minority leaders conceded that they would be able to muster not more than 27 votes in opposition, including five defections by conservative Democrats. The huge Democratic majority in the House assured approval by a large margin there. Mr, Roosevelt's special message to Congress induced a boom-time thrill in stocks and commodity markets. Wheat jumped more than 4 cents a bushel.

Stocks rose $1 to $6 a share, despite flurries of profit-taking. The closing tone was strong. Meantime, the dollar declined 6 cents with relation to the pound sterling. London comment was that President Roosevelt's move had been expected and was the logical outgrowth of his mone "Mr. Mills stated that, in line with his discussions with the board in executive session yesterday afternoon, he had arranged a conference William H.

Woodin, who will be the Secretary of the Treasury in President Roosevelt's Administration, at 8:30 p. today at New York. "He said that, on reflection, he was convinced that the corporation could not afford at this time to reverse its policy with respect to granting loans to distressed banks, particularly in view of the key situations in Detroit and Cleveland, and perhaps other cities, which require careful treatment at this time. "He said that, although it would increase the problem of the Treasdry to raise the large amount of funds which would be necessary, in addition to the normal requirements of the corporation, prior to the regular financing which it was anticipated would be conducted on March IS, 1933, he felt that it was absolutely essential to avert the collapse of the banking structure in the important cities mentioned. "In addition to the shock and harm to the whole credit structure, he said, a collapse at these points at this time might seriously hamper the Treasury in carrying out its financing operations on the 15th of March and later.

"He indicated that, in his opinion, the effect on the Government's credit would be disastrous if any collapse of such magnitude should occur at this time, and that in the long run, the corporation's failure to assist in the present difficult situations on a large scale would cost the Government many more millions of dollars. "With respect to the general question of dealing with the present emergency during the period between now and the advent of the new Administration, involving large loans to institutions in large centers, Mr. Miller reported that Secretary Mills had advised him that, at his conference last, night with William H. Woodin, who will be Secretary of the Treasury in President Roosevelt's Cabinet, Mr. Woodin said that while he was glad to be kept informed of important developments, the problems now under consideration should be determined by the Board in accordance with its own views and on its own responsibility." meetings on Feb.

Carina Hevia. thirtv-three-year-old graduate of the United States Naval Academy, acceptea me rrcsiueutj of Cuba tonight after a chaotic day during which nohoay Knew wno was running the Country.

While bullets or guarasmen whizzed outside the Presidential Pnlaee and three supporters of the retiring executive, Ramon Grau San Martin, fell dead in tne sircei, Hevia, the quiet, swart former agriculture secretary decided to take over the office, after previously refusing. Between the time Grau San Martin submitted his resignation to a revolutionary Junta and the Cabinet and Hevia's decision the utmost political confusion prevailed, with rumors of an Army rift, fears of another revolution, rioting, and military preparations for trouble. Finally Accepts Post Hevia at first said he would ac cept the Junta's offer that he head the Government, DUt. ne laier changed hia mind, only to revert to the original decision. Immediately after Hevia's final decision, the Cabinet resigned in a body, and the work of rebuilding the Government was inaugurated.

Hevia's only statement was, "I am the President." Hevia, despite leftist affiliations, has ties binding him to the rightists. He has been closely connected with the sugar industry for 13 years. He is the youngest president Cuba has ever had, and is one of the few if not the only Cuban graduate of the American Naval Academy in Annapolis. The major disorder came when 1,000 diehard demonstrators congre gated outside the Presidential Palace and shouted, "Grau, don't quit!"

Pride of France's Air Fleet Carries Ten to Fiery Death Officials of Air Ministry and Governor of Indo-China Among Disaster Victims Mortgages 'Clean as We Have Seen McKee Tells How Aid for City Died Amid Capital Confusion Discloses Bank Came Close to a Reopening By Clifford A. Prevost WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 The story of a long series of errors in the Government's handling of the Detroit banking situation was recited to the Senate investigators today.

John H. McKee, chief examiner for the RFC, took the stand and pointed out that at one time a loan of S6.380.0O0 to the Guardian Orouo would have saved the De troit situation, made the holiday unnecessary and prevented the collapse of the American financial structure. McKee also showed that even after the holiday the First National Rank was nearly allowed to re open. The First National applied for an RFC loan of $100,000,000. McKee and his Btaff of appraisers recommended that a loan of 583.000 be granted.

"The collateral offered for this loan was adequate, with a face value of over McKee testified. "The First National Bank had as clean a group of mortgages as we have ever seen, and 1 do not recall any criticism of this collateral." No loans had ever been sought by the First National before the holiday, he testified. McKee told the committee that Ogden L. Mills, then Secretary of the Treasury, went to the RFC board a week after the holiday and warned that failure to assist the Guardian Detroit Union group would precipitate a national disaster which would cost "many more millions of dollars. Behind the long and easily offered statistical testimony of the examiner there could be seen a drama cosmic in its proportions, There was revealed again a fun damental flaw that so many his torians and students of government have pointed out in the American system, partly eliminated by the Jime Duck Amendment.

i The film colony would not be sur prised to learn that Greta Garbo, actress, and her director, Rouben Mamoulian, on a motor car trip In Arizona, are married or about to be. A man and woman believed to be Miss Garbo and Mamoulian, ar rived at Grand Canyon, late today and registered at a hotel as Mary Jones and Robert Bonjl, both of Santa Fe, N. M. The clerk on duty said he could not identify either, but said "Miss Jones" and Miss Garbo were "about the same size." She was wearing dark glasses, he said. V.

Patrosso, manager of the hotel, said that a suite of three rooms which the couple engaged had not been reserved in advance. Soon after the two arrived, they left the hotel for a hike alone the rim of the Grand Canyon. When they returned they checked out and left the park. The identity of Miss Garbo definitely was established here by telegraphic check with the Sacramento office of the California Department of Motor Vehicles. The make and license number of the car in which the couple have been driving through Arizona today are the same as listed in the name of Miss Garbo.

The actress and the director, who she hss been reported about to marry, fled the park soon after they had been accosted by an official, who, as usual, inquired as to the welfare and enjoyment of visitors. npninx-iiKe Miss Garbo never has been off on such a long trip with a supposed admirer, as far as anyone here recalls. Nor does anyone here seem to know much about the Arizona journey. Ma moulian's mother said she understood that he is on a short vaca tion trip. Mamoulian, who recently directed Miss Garbo in a picture at her request, is credited here with having lured her out of her habitual seclusion during non-Work tng hours.

They have been seen at cafes recently. The thirty-six year old Mamou lian was born at Titlis, Caucasus. After schooling In Paris and Mos cow, he became a stage director in London. He was a director of the American Opera Company, Roches ter, N. for three years and later went to Iew York City, where he directed several plays, eventually gravitating to Hollywood.

He directed the Marlene Dietrich picture "Song of Songs." Employed on Commission, Worker Wins NRA Wages ROYAL OAK. Jan. 15 Justice of the Peace John E.

It was testified that there was an agreement whereby Langdon was to work In the station of the U.

S. Service Center on a commission basis. Langdon sued, asking for back wages at the rate of $14 for a forty-two-hour week as is provided for In the code. On a commission basis $13.56 was due him. Indian Woman, Born White, Is Dead at 71 MOUNTAIN VIEW, Jan.

15 (A. Sain-Tah-Oodie Goombl, or Millie Durgan, the white woman who became an Indian, died yesterday on the Kiowa Reservation. 70 years after a band of Kiowas raided a white settlement In Northern Texas and kidnaped her when she was 18 months ago. Years of searching and Inquiry by the child's family were futile. It was not until 1930 that the truth was discovered.

Meantime, Millie had lived the life of a Kiowa, knowing nothing of her identity and speaking only the tribal tongue. After learning her identity she visited her white relatives but always returned to her tribal home. Oliver Morosco Fighting for Life on Hospital Cot HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 15 (A.

His body Monday night was removed from Mexico City where he died late Sunday night. Mrs. Miller accompanied the body on the train. Mr. Miller, an outstanding figure in Detroit and national journalism, was on a pleasure tour at the time of his death.

He succumbed to an attack of bronchial pneumonia which developed from a cold taken early last week. He was 75 years old.

Senator Patrick A. McCarran. Nevada Democrat, said tonight that he would ask Chairman Hugo Black, of the Senate air mail investigating committee, to summon Herbert Hoover. Col. Charles A.

Observers there, saw no possibility of stabiliza tion at an early date. Paris financiers were de-cribed as reconciled to the prospect of a dollar containing only 50 to 60 per cent as much gold as previously, and like the English pound no possibility of stabilization soon. The Treasury advanced the price ot domestic newly mined gold from $34.06 to $34.45.

At $34.45 the gold value of the dollar is exactly 60 per cent of what it was at the old mint rate of $20.67 an ounce. Three executive orders were issued by President Roosevelt, so modifying existing regulations that individuals as well as banks may receive licenses to deal In foreign exchange. Three Requests Made Mr. Roosevelt's request went to the Capitol today in a carefully and forcefully worded special message, which, reduced to its essentials, asked Congress for three things: 1 To give the Government "by specific enactment" title to "all supplies of American-owned monetary gold, with provision for the payment therefor In gold certificates." 2 To "fix the upper limit of permissible revaluation" of the dollar at 60 per cent of its present gold content, noting that "careful study" had led him to a belief "that any revaluation at more at more than 60 per cent of the present statutory (gold) value would not be in the public Interest." 3 To give the Secretary of the Treasury express authority to purchase foreign exchange as well as to buy and sell gold at home and abroad on gold stocks derived from devaluation of the dollar a "fund of two billion dollars" with which to make such purchases. Gold Purchase Agency Altered Henry Morgenthau, secretary of the Treasury, announced today that beginning tomorrow morning the New York Federal Reserve Bank instead of the Reconstruction Finance Corp.

would purchase all newly-mined domestic gold. Morgenthau said he then will purchase from the bank equivalent amounts of gold coins. The price the Reserve Bank will pay for gold "until further notice" will ba $34 45, less one-fourth of one per cent for handling charges. President Roosevelt called newspapermen into a special press conference and told them that the steps he contemplated had nothing to do with greenbacks and printing press money. At the same time, he said that he did not believe that the Issuance of a limited amount of five and ten dollar, non-Interest hearing bonds, as provided in the Thomas Amendment, could be regarded as Inflation.

The Chief Executive's message made It clear that he planned no restoration of the system of free circulation of gold, which existed when the Country was on the gold standard. Free Circulation I'nnecessary "Certain lessons seem clear," he said. "For example, the free circulation of gold coins is unnecessary, leads to hoarding, and tends to a possible weakening of National financial structures In times of emergency. "The practice of transferring gold from one Individual to another or from the Government to an individual within a Nation is not only unnecessary, but Is in every way undesirable. The transfer of gold In bulk is essential only for the payment of International trade balances.

Therefore, It Is a prudent step to vest In the government of a nation the title to and possession of all monetary gold within its boundaries and to keep that gold in the form of bullion rather than In coin." The President's proposal for de valuation of the dollar would pro-; vide a 10 per cent range in the amount of gold to be taken from it. and gives business the assurance i that the extent of the cut will be i between 40 and 50 per cent. The glease Turn t9. iflO 2 Column I Get Affidavits on Sterilization Auditors Hear Charge of Deception Charges of trickery and deceit in obtaining parental consents to the sterilization of boy and girl Inmates of the Wayne County Training School at Northville, were aired Monday morning at an Inquiry begun by the County auditors. Five affidavits were read Into the records by Auditor Edward H.

Williams to support his charges, but in only two instances did the parents contend that they did not know the nature of the operation proposed. In one instance, the accusing affidavit Itself disproved the allegation of trickery, the parent admitting that before the sterilization petition was signed, Miss Sarah Fehlig, social worker for the Training School, left a text book with a full explanation of the affects of sterilization. After presentation of the affidavits, an adjournment of two weeks was taken to permit study of the case records by Dr. Robert Haskell, superintendent of the Training School, before he Is called to the stand to testify.

15 (A. Five high French officials and five other persons burned to death when the giant trl-motored airplane Emeraude, prido of the French commercial fleet, fell in flames and exploded near here tonight on a return flight from French Indo-China. The big four-ton plane caught fire apparently from a leaky gas line while battling a violent wind and hail storm over Nievre Department, nor far from Nevers. The Emeraude exploded when the pilot tried to land on an open field a mile north of here and 175 miles southeast of Paris. The 10 helpless occupants were imprisoned In the cabin.

Air Ministry Aides Die The victims were: Pierre Pasquier, governor general of Indo-China; Emmanuel Chaumie, director of civil aviation in the Air Ministry; Mme. Chaumie; M. Balazuc, director of technical services in the Air Ministry; M. Nogues, traffic manager of the Air France M. Larrieu, attache of the Air Ministry; Capt.

Bussault, military aide of M. Pasquier; Pilot Launay; Wireless Operator Quey-rel. and Mechanic Crampbell. The plane and passengers were burned completely before villagers were able to approach. Firemen tried to extinguish the flames but water had no effect on the large gasoline tanks.

Pictures of Indo-China and a few of Pasquier's papers were found beside the wreckage. The Emeraude was on its first long trip on which Air Minister Pierre Cot had sent M. Chaumie and two aides. Christened Last June The plane was christened last June and made round trip trial flights from Paris to Algiers and Paris to Dakar. Its performance on those trips was perfect.

The catastrophe marred the triumphal arrival at Le Bourget Field of the Black Squadron of 28 French planes from a goodwill tour of Africa. M. Cot cancelled the welcoming ceremonies for the squadron and then jumped Into an automobile and headed for Corbigny from Paris. Rescue workers took six bodies from the wreckage two hours after the crash. The accident occarred at 7:20 p.

m. The Emeraude appeared over Corbigny like a bolt of fire. Flaming riane Sighted The plane was first sighted flying low with flames licking the sides. While the craft apparently was seeking a landing place it suddenly dropped. The flames, whipped by a high wind, cempletely destroyed it.

M. Pasquier, who was 60 years old, was named governor general of French Indo-China In 1928.
