PRESIDENT ASKS FOR
FURTHER POWERS
(By The Aasociated Press)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 —Presi
dent Roosevelt turned to Congress
for new powers to manage the na
tions currency thru revaluing the
gold dollar, probably around 60
cents at the outset, and calling in
to the treasury all outstanding
monetary gold, aggregating more
than three and one half millions.
This was the first step planned
l>y the President. The earliest re
actions on Capitol Hill indicated
that a majority will support the
chief executive in this far reach
ing step. It is equally certain,
however, that opposition will spring
up in both houses.
The delivery of the special mess
age to Congress today is expected
to be a touchstone for a torrid de
bate on the entire monetary ques
tion, either immediately, or in the
near future. Gold standard ad
vocates and others are expected to
voice criticism at length.
