He and his colleagues, all known to be New Dealera or In close sympathy with the New Deal, are asked by Mr. Itoosevelt "foe advice and counsel In development of a rogram for unemployment Insurance, old age security and adequate health care." Work on the aoclal program already la well under way and an executive committee has laid the Also Miss Frances groundwork. Perkins, secretary of labor and chairman of the executive committee, bas named an advisory committee of physicians and surgeons that, according to advance rumors, will report a program that will be "revolutionary almost to the point ot establishing socialized medicine." This medical group Is headed by Dr. Harvey CushlDg of Tale, whose daughter Betsy Is the wife of James lloosevelt. son of the President Secretary Perkins anonunced that other committees were being organized to aid In the formation of plans for federal Intervention In problems of public health, hospitalization, and dentistry.

In connection with this move, the White House stated that when ths present applications of the Home Owners' Loan corporation bave been reduced to terms of approval the original allotment will bave been used up. At the same time It was pointed out that no other funds for that recovery phase were Immediately in sight ANOTHER program that la the prepared by President's advisers for action by congress baa to do with the nation's natural resources, and the necessary legislation Is being drafted by the national resources board. It Is of utmost Importance and in Washington there is a belief that it may lead to government control, and possibly government ownership, of all. timber lands, oil reservoirs and coal fields, and government dominion over all existing and future ater power developments on the nation's lakes and rivers. ROOSEVELT bas winter retreat at gone Warm Springs, Ga., where be will remain until after Thanksgiving day, and on the way bad some InFirst he teresting experiences. traveled to Harrodsburg. Ky., where be helped Gov. Ruby Laflfoon and other otllclals in the unveiling and dedication of a memorial to the men and women who established there the first permanent Anglo-Saxo- n settlement west of the Allegheny. The monument, erected by the federal government at a cost of $100,000, overlooks Pioneer Memorial State park. It depicts an epoch rather than an event and the only portrait among the many carved figures Is that of George Rogers Clark, who there planned his conquest of the old northwest terri) tory. From Harrodsburg the President went to see the Tennessee valley development which has been well called the laboratory of the "more abundant life." It was with deepest Interest that he viewed the work that Is being done by about 1.200 men building dams In the Tennessee river and tributaries to provide power, flood control, navigation and new fields of work for persons drawn from unprofitable land. After a visit to the Hermitage, home of Andrew Juckson at Nashville, Mr. Roosevelt Inspected the revived Muscle Shoals plants and the Wheeler and Wilson dams, and then went to Tupelo, Miss., the first town to purchase power from the new federal developmen. Senator Pat Harrison Introduced him at exercises in the town square. The party continued to Warm Springs by way of Birmingham. The President was accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull.

Mr. Itoosevelt conceded Though ate Tohe-separstates the right to decide what type of unemployment Insurance they would adopt he declared that he would reserve to the federal government the right to hold and Invest and control all moaeys which might be collected. This was necessary, the President added, because of the magnitude of the funds, and "so that the use of these funds as a means of stabilization may be maintained in central management and employed on a national basis." It Is expected that from $4,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000 would be raised In the course of several years. need expect no UNCLE SAM Mr. Roosevelt Insisted that unfrom France on the war employment Insurance must be kept debt on December 15, when the next entirely apart from the dole, and Installment is due.

It does not mean stabilization but is a step toward It and indicat ed the administration has dropped the idea of bringing about recovery by debasing the dollar. Presumably, If further attempts to cheapen the dollnr in foreign exchange were contemplated, the treasury would not leave the doors open for the wholesale flight of American capital abroad. CHARLES FEDERAL JUDGE of Louisville. L Ky, overruling an attack on the validfarm mority of the Frazier-Lemk- e atorium act, declared "with regret" that it is constitutional. In his opinion he said : "The legislation, In some of Its provisions. Is unfair to creditors, and unwise even as to farm debtors, for It Inevitably closes to them all private sources of credit."

In supporting Its claim, the government listed eight transactions In 1931 as evidence that all were "a part of a false and fraudulent course of conduct on the part of said Union Trust company." Among the 1931 transactions were two "accommodation" deals with Andrew ance against W, Mellon.

Why Hospitals Use a Liquid Laxative Hospitals and doctors have always used liquid laxatives. And the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. Do you know the reasons? The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can thus be regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; you need not take a "double dose" a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxative Irritate the kidneys. The right dose of a liquid laxative brings a more natural movement, and there is no discomfort at the time, or after. The wrong cathartic may often do more harm than good. A properly prepared liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin brings safe relief from constipation. It gently helps the average person's bowels until nature restores them to regularity. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists keep ready for use. It makes an ideal family laxative; effective for all ages, and may be given the youngest child. In The new prime minister of France, Flandin, tells the chamber of deputies that he will keep the franc stable and France will have no dictators "liberal Institutions will win out over all forms of dictatorship."
