ELMIRA STAR-GAZETTE Capt Phillips badly injured PAGE ELEVEN. [August 11, 1931] The Week THROUGH this department, Mr. Christopher presents a review of significant events of the past week. By Hugh Herschel Christopher Germany Calm as Banking Resumes. World Flyers Give It Up. Alfalfa Bill Finds a Way. Wickersham Commission in News. INTERNATIONAL news of the past week on the whole was encouraging. Complete accord between the Bank of France and the Federal Reserve Bank in New York was reached in Paris on a large extension of credits to the Bank of England. It provided for the immediate extension of credits totaling nearly 50,000,000 to the Bank of England. The Bank of England agreed to pay 3 3/8 per cent. interest. The Bank for International Settlements went to the temporary relief of Germany again when the directors voted renewal of the bank's participation in the $100,000,000 discount credit which expired Friday. IN Berlin and in all banking centers throughout Germany the assumption of full banking facilities was marked by calm. "It was just like any ordinary day," many bank officials said. The calmness was taken as an indication that there still was confidence in the present government, especially in Chancellor Heinrich Bruening, whose admonitions to meet the situation with fortitude [[The rest is illegible.]] and the Yellow, fed by swollen tributaries after torrential rains, overflowed their banks and inundated wide expanses of country. LOW PRICES for oil have caused no less concern than the drop in cotton and wheat. Picturesque "Alfalfa Bill" Murray of Oklahoma adopted drastic methods. He invoked martial law to choke off the flow from 3,106 oil wells in prorated fields of Oklahoma. The drastic move was the governor's long-awaited answer to purchasers of crude oil who refused his demand to post $1 per barrel prices. The present top price is 50 cents. His executive order, issued after National Guardsmen had entered the Oklahoma City field and brought about the closing of many of its gushers, established martial zones for 50 feet around all but "stripper" wells in the state. THROUGHOUT the nation, relief was expressed that Thomas A. Edison was apparently improving. The patient's condition was described as satisfactory.. Charles Edison, the inventor's son, told reporters his father was "feeling very chipper". The inventor, who is in his 85th year, collapsed from a combined attack of Bright's disease and diabetes. YOUNG men delegates from 48 countries at the Y. M. C. A. world conference prepared to go on record in opposition to war and in favor of nation disarmament. R. T. Evans, internationally-known economist of the University of Wales, Cardiff, who presented the resolutions, said: "We do not want the world to feel these are just pious phrases, but to know that we are fully alert to the factors leading to military conflict." NEWSPAPERS carried many dispatches during the week on the unemployment situation and the need for relief the Winter will Elmira Heights Church Bible Class Meeting Is Postponed Elmira Heights, Aug. 11.-- The monthly meeting of the Bible Students' Class of the Elmwood Avenue Baptist Church has been postponed one week.
