Korea UP — Red China’s foreign minister Chou Hu-Lai charged the Allies today with seriously violating the arm(slice agreement on prisoners and said the situation had reached the '•critical stage.” Chou's warning, sent to the United Nations general assembly and monitored in Tokyo, came as the Allied command told the Rede here they were violating the agreement by, "forcibly detaining” South Koreans. Chou said explanations to almost, 23.000 anti-Cominunist North Koreans and Chinese had been carried out for only seven days and the interviews were broken off 20 days ago. ; ?

Banks Are Praised For Public Service Aid Operations Os Federal Treasury WASHINGTON — High praise for the public services which American banks perform In, the I daily financial operations of the I federal treasury is contained in a report today by the board of directors* of Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Prepared by the Chamber's finance department committee, and approved by the board, the report deals with the federal depository system, in which over 11.000 pri-vately-owned banks and trust companies handle billions of dollars of treasury funds each year. Under this system, the report explains, these banks sell U. S. 'savings bonds and other government securities directly to their customers, act as issuing agents for payroll savings plans, handle palmenst on withheld income taxes, social security taxes and elxelse levies. They do not impose any service chafge on the government for transacting this business. The report points out that any incorporated bank or trust coriipany wishing to participate in the deposits of public money may apply to its district federal reserve bank for a special depository rating, and may qualify by pledging certain authorized securities to secure the account. If these banks, the report continues, were not authorized to hold government funds, the money froip the sale of savings bonds and other government securities would go immediately to the account of the U. S. treasurer at the federal reserve banks. The present system provides a better method for transferring currency to locations where it is most needed and builds up adequate means for handling the government’s fiscal requirements. To underscore the value of the federal depository system, the Chamber’s report gives the following quotation from a recent traisury department statement: “If the money ? represented by the new securities should be immediately withdrawn from* the banking system, and before it is returned to the channels of trade through government disbursements, serious financial disturbances would oicur. Under the present system, where withdrawals are made gradually as the government has need for funds, there is avoided a shock which otherwise would occur if the funds were immediately withdrawn and deposited in the federal reserve banks. “The procedure avoids the ac cumulation of idle government funds at the federal reserve banks and' by smoothing out the peaks and valleys of the money floy\ it helps minimize disturbance of the money and Security tnarkets." The national chamber's finance, department committee said that throughout the years’ public funds have,been deposited with commercialbanks because they alone have the essential facilities to handle the government’s business efficiently, and that the nation's banks are to be -.“commended for' a vital contribution they are making toward the maintenance of America’s economic well being.” Iranian Troops Kill Two Red Students A TEHRAN.
