COURT QUIZ OF CLOSED BANKS TO BE RENEWED Judge Cox to Reopen Probe in Affairs of Defunct City Institutions. Investigation of defunct banks and their receiverships was to be renewed today before Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox. Witnesses representing Curtis Rottger, City Trust Company receiver. were to appear in a cause involving a $25,000 claim of the defunct, Postal Station State bank of which Raymond D. Brown is receiver. Rottger w<s to present evidence pertaining to a balance of $26,500, on personal notes, totaling $lll,OOO, which Brown gave the City Trust Company for a loan eleven years ago. Brown testified he attempted to pay the indebtedness by assuming and paying to the Postal bank receivership a $25,000 claim of the Postal bank against the City Trust. Claim on Cash Reserves This claim is on cash reserves which the Postal bank had deposited with the City Trust when it collapsed in October, 1930. It was disclosed Monday that $15,000 of the claim is recorded as having been allowed as a general claim, although Brown and his attorney, Elton F. Lctfler, testified that they had no knowledge of the record. When questioned by Rottger’s attorney, Henry Dowling, Brown declared he intended to assume the Postal bank claim by “paying rash" to the receivership which he heads. Gave Notes to City Trust Brown gave notes to the City Trust to finance construction of postoflice buildings in twenty cities, including Indianapolis, evidence revealed. "I told Rottger I would satisfy the Postal claim in a manner satisfactory to superior court four which appointed me receiver of the Postal bank,’’ Brown testified. Rottger refused to acecpt Brown’s plan for offsetting his personal obligation. “This matter gets worse and more entangled as we go along,” Cox asserted during the hearing. MRS. IDA L.

Things are going to be made even tougher for the weary homeless who trudge the highways, if the bill proposed Monday in the house by Representative Martin J. Downey (Dcm.. Hammond), is enacted. While not referring specifically to that new and extensively practiced profession of “thumbing,” Downey's bill would prohibit anyone “by signs or gestures” from obtaining free auto rides unless the “thumber” knows the motorist. Fine of $5 and thirty days imprisonment are proposed as penalties. BANDIT SUSPECTS HELD Two Brothers Partially Identified in Street Car Holdup.

Surge in Public-Operated Power Plants Is Predicted

Both Federal Government and Cities to Get Into Business, Is Claim. Bp Scrippe-Uotcard Xctcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. The next few years will witness a tremendous increase in publicly owned j electric plants, according to Judson King, head of the Popular Goverr.- | ment League and crusader for cheaper power for American consumers. The new development, King thinks, will follow two lines. The fust will be in the growth of government-owned plants, such as | pioposed by President-Elect Frankj lin D. Roosevelt as great regulators ! of private power rates. k The second will be increased ! numbers of smaller city-owned plants. Government in Business The government now operates eleven hydro-electric plants in con- | nection with its reclamation bureau. Soon it will operate the greatest of all plants at Boulder dam. President-Elect Roosevelt has i promised government operation of j Muscle Shoals. He has declared j himself favorable to the develop- | ment of two other giant power-pro-i ducing projects at Columbia Basin m the northwest and the St. Lawrence in the northeast. The R. F. C. has just granted a ! loan of 52iA.800.000 to the city of Los Angeles to build a 270-mile transI mission line from Boulder dam. P.lans are being laid for the adding of the $35,000,000 all-American ■ canal to the Boulder dam project, 1 also a power-developer. City Plants Prosperous Besides these present and prospective government public proj- * ects. there are more than 22,000 efty- : owned power plants now operating. Among these are such big plants ! as the sueccessful plants of Seattle.

It was tested at tfre Butler ii*iversity swimming pool, and proved successful. The youths claim the helmet can be used for depths below twelve feet. Last year a lighter diving helmet was made out. of an old oil-can by the youths. The oil can proved to be too light for practicable use against underwater pressure so the helmet was made. The new helmet weighs seventyfive pounds, but when worn under water feels like the weight of about five pounds, the youths say.

Tacoma, Los Angeles, Springfield and other cities. San Francisco is developing its own power, but distributing it through a private concern. A number of irrigation districts are making and selling their own co-operatively-created power. Some of the most successful are small steam-operated plants in the middle west which are making money at reduced rates, and holding down tax rates through power-plant profits. Indicating that publicly-owned plants are going it pretty much alone is the fact that few* of them have asked for R. F. C. loans.

BANKERS SPLIT I OVER CHANGES IN STATE BILL * ! Frown on Clause Giving Governor Power to Name Board. Passage of a bill reorganizing the system under which banks and other financial institutions of the state will operate, is likely to result in a, growth of confidence on the part of the public, Will Hough, Greenfield j banker, and former state tax board member believes. Hough expressed his views in discussing the bill Monday afternoon before the house of representatives banking committee which today reported the measure with recommendation for passage. Representative Leo M. Gardner (Derm, Indianapolis), is chairman of the committee. At the conclusion of Hough's remarks, the committee went into executive session, excluding newspaper men, but Walter Greenough, bankers’ representative, remained. Signs are apparent that changes in the bill, by which the Governor is given power to appoint banking commissioners and attaches of a proposed new banking department, do not meet with unanimous approval of bankers. As drafted by the study commission for Indiana financial institutions, the bill provided for a bipartisan commission to appointed by the Governor, and it would have employed attaches. As altered, there is no provision regarding politics of commmissioners. This point was not discussed by Hough, who suggested that a bank loan limit of 20 per cent of its capital to any one borrower be reduced to 10 per cent. He also suggested further limitation of a bank's real estate holding power.

Out in Cold Legislators Banned From Possible State Jobs by Constitution.

Legislative “yes-men,” who 1 may have voted for the administration reorganization law with one eye cocked on a state job. are doomed to disappointment. it was learned today. For, in “addition to not reading the bill for themselves, they also may have forgotten to read the state Constitution. Section 3, article 4 of that document, says: “No senator or representative shall, during the term for which he may have been elected, be eligible to any office, the election to which is vested in the general assembly; nor shall he be appointed to any civil office of profit, which shall have been created, or emoluments of which shall have been increased, during such term; but this latter provision shall not be construed to apply to any office elective by the people.” The reorganization law places all power over state administrative and executive patronage directly in the hands of Governor Paul V. McNutt. Since this is an abolition of the old system, it amounts to creation of all new jobs, constitutional authorities contend, and it is reported that this view will be taken by the administration. Asa consequence there will be no jobs for legislators. Abandon Auto After Accident After an automobile, disabled with four flat tires, had been abandoned for several hours at the scene of an accident, police took the car to a police garage Monday afternoon. Two women occupants of the car at the time it jumped a curb at Twen-ty-eighth and Meridian streets left the scene shortly afterward. Among the owners of Florida citrus groves are more than 6,000 persons living outside the state.

LIBERALS RUSH TO AID FEDERAL UTILITY PROBE Senators Will Balk Move to Slash Fund of Trade Commission. Bp Set ipp*-lf (Heard Xncepnpcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—To save the federal trade commission from a 65 per cent cut imposed by the house, senate liberals probably will prevent passage of the 1934 independent offices appropriation bill at this congress. Fifty-two lame ducks, mostly Republicans. were among the house members who voted last week to keep the trade commission down to $510,090 next year—a figure which wipes out the entire economic division of the commission, ends its study of utilities, and makes enforcement. of the trade commission act impossible. The same Democratic leaders who sponsored the drastic cut this year will continue in charge of legislation in the next congress, but Liberals believe the new members will vote them down. With the session nearing its close, and the senate hopelessly behind with its routine legislative program, it will be an easy matter to prevent enactment of the independent efflees appropriations bill. The senate is scheduled to consider three other appropriation bills, in addition to the one now pending, before the independent offices bill is reached, and leaders believe it will be impossible to finTltedkat&L!
