Federal Reserve Council Opposes Mobile Currency Plan
The advisory council to the Federal Reserve Board warns Roosevelt against a currency of fluctuating value.

Decatur Ala November 23 A motion to quash the venire for Heywood Patterson one of seven negro defendants in the Scottsboro case was overruled by Judge W W Callahan.
