BANK CRISIS OVERSHADOWS ALL OTHER PROBLEMS AS ROOSEVELT TAKES OFFICE Hope Placed in Action by Incoming President; Extra Session of Congress Next Week Is Possible. KV WALKER STONE rimrv Staff Writer WASHINGTON. March 4—The banking crisis overshadows all other issues as Herbert Hoover relinquishes the reins of government to Franklin Roosevelt today. Prohibition repeal, beer bills, tariff.reform, war debts, inflation—all are shoved out of the picture. Those who allow the nation's worries to rest heavily upon their minds are asking only one question: “What can we do to straighten out this banking situation?"

With banking operations sus- j pended or limited in almost twothirds of the forty-eight states, even unemployment has become a collateral problem temporarily, because every one recognizes that unemployment and distress will become immediately much more serious unless order and confidence is restored in the nation's banking facilities. Confidence in Roosevelt Analytically, the banking situation appears to be one of confusion, confounded by the change of administrations and uncertainty as to the future course. But, psychologically, the confusion is pierced by a gleam of confidence — confidence in Pilot Roosevelt s course. Democratic leaders stand around j in the capital's corridors, reciting' their misgivings as to the banking i situation. They place all the blame upon Mr. Hoover and the Republican leaders, but they admit that j they alone can not chart a true I course. These Democratic leaders say j they do not know what Mr. Roose- j velt will do, but they all declare he will do something, and without delay. They say he will call an extra session of congress to meet next week, probably Tuesday or Wednesday, and will lay down a program of banking legislation that will be enacted speedily and effectively. Banks Are Closing Banks throughout the country are closing, or curtailing withdrawals. Gold is being shipped abroad. Yet, in defiance of these ominous signs, prices of stocks and commodities boomed in Friday's markets. No one has ventured to outline Roosevelt's banking program, but here are some of the proposals discussed by Democrats in congress: An embargo on gold exportation, declared by an executive order of the new President, and, if necessary, sanctioned by the special session. Some form of bank deposit, guarantee legislation to induce fright- j ened depositors to return withdrawn j funds. Legislation increasing the limit on Postal savings deposits from $2,500 to $5,000, converting postal savings accounts into checking accounts, and making the federal reserve system’s banking facilities available to the postal savings service. This is the suggestion of Senator Dill iDcm., Wash.). 3light Embargo Gold A joint resolution giving the j President power U invoke a gold embargo, and giving the controller! of the currency the power to permit j banks to refuse to pay out currency! over the counter, and pay instead 1 in credits and cashiers” checks. The story of banking developments in Washington in the last 1 few days has been a story of buckpassing and futility. The one piece of legislation which might have forestalled banking uneasiness, the Glass bill, has for! more than a month gathered cobwebs in a pigeonhole of the house banking and currency committee. The life of that bill expired as congress adjourns at noon today. The bill dies, a victim of Representative Steagall, chairman of the committee, and other house leaders, who resent the failure of the senate to act on the Steagall bill to guarantee bank deposits, and the Goldsborough “rubber dollar” bill. The house leaders declare that 1 there would have been no banking crisis if the senate had passed the Steagall and the Goldsborough bills. The senators and the congressmen never did sit down together to try to work out a compromise. SPEECH GIVEN LIBRARY Original McNutt Manuscripts Go to State University. By Times Special BLOOMINGTON. Ind., March 4. The Indiana university library will be the recipient of the original manuscripts of the inaugural speech and the initiaal address to the legislature by Governor Paul V. McNutt. Librarian W. A. Alexander said here today that he had received the promise of Governor McNutt that those two manuscrints w ill be turned over to the library, as he requested a few weeks ago. The speeches will be a valuable addition to the library's volumes on the political history of Indiana, Alexander explained, and they also will be interesting because of Governor McNutt's former affiliation with the university. BOOM DAILEY FOR JOB Cilty Lawyer’s Appointment to U. S. Revenue Berth Advocated. By Times Special WASHINGTON. March 4.—Flank C.

This, the commission will have a fund of $2,000.000 as the senate amended the bill setting up the commission, to appropriate a million from the general fund. Facetious whistling marked the balloting as the house passed the senate bill making the cardinal, or red bird, the state bird. TOPPLES INTO SHAFT furniture Cos.

‘New Deal’ Is Foreseen in Indian Bureau Affairs

Complete Reorganization !s Predicted Under Guidance of Roosevelt. By Scripps-lloicard Xetcspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, March 4.—Complete reorganization of the Indian bureau is expected under the Roosevelt administration. Appointment of Harold L. Ickes of Illinois as interior secretary and the interest of President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt’s advisers in Indian affairs reform have pleased the friends of the Indians. Ickcs has been interested in Indian welfare for years. He has visited the southwest and studied the Indians’ problems at close range, both in the Pueblo country and the Navajo reservation. In 1929 he was author of an article in the Illinois Law Review, exposing injustices and mismanagement under the FallBurke regime. Interest on Commissioner Close to the administration’s ear are such leaders in Indian reform as Senators William H. King of Utah, Lynn Frazier of North Dakota. Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, Sam G. Bratton and Bronson Cutting of New Mexico. Senator Hiram flohnson of California. co-author With Representative Philip D. Swing of the SwingJohnson Indian bill, is one of Ickes’ closest personal and political friends. Interest now centers on whom Mr. Roosevelt will name as Indian commissioner and assistant commissioner. Outstanding in this contest are four men: Lewis Meriam of Delaware, Nathan Margold of New York, John Collier of California, Harry Mitchell of Montana. Four in Contest Meriam is a student of Indian matter's and as member of the Institute of Government Research here wrote an exhaustive and authoritative report on the Indian “system,” its evils and needed reforms. Margold is an attorney associated with the Indian Defense Association. Collier is secretary of the Defense Association, a crusader for Indian rights for twelve years, the choice of the association’s board of directors for the commissionership.

Republican members of the state senate today proposed a novel plan to help Governor Paul V. McNutt in his economy plan. During consideration of a house bill they offered an amendment to dispense with the 1935 general assembly and thereby save $150,000. ‘All appropriations for the years 1935-36 and for 1936-37 shall be the same as for 1933-34 and 1934-35, and the session of the legislature for the year 1935 shall be dispensed with,” read the amendment. Senator I. Floyd Garrott (Rep., Battle Ground), the author, had a bit of fun at the expense of the majority senators before his proposed amendment was voted down under an avalanche of “nces.” “This amendment simply makes it possible for the Governor to keep on running the state,” Garrott said. “Let’s adopt it and save the taxpayers the expense of another legislature.” DEMAND JOBLESS RELIEF Resolution Sent to Roosevelt by Unemployed Council. Resolution addressed to President Roosevelt demanding a special session of congress to pass unemployment relief measures has been forwarded to Washington from the Indianapolis Unemployed Council. Enactment of the Costigan-La-Follette bill, adoption of unemployment insurance and adoption of a national improvement program are suggested in the resolution.

M’NUTT FORCES LOSEJKIRMISH Absence of 28 Members of House Blamed for Defeat. With twenty-eight members absent, the administration lost at the morning session of the house of representatives today in an effort t,o speed action on a bill establishing a state division of agriculture to replace the present Indiana board of agriculture. The bill was on second reading and Representative Edward H. Stein, Bloomfield, Democratic floor leader, asked suspension of the rules to advance the measure to a passage vote. Roll call showed 61 for and 16 against, while 67, or three-fourths of the membership, is required to make the rule inoperative. Senate resolution that no educational institution supported in whole or in part by state funds shall be affected in its academic standing by failure to hold membership in any organization, was adopted unanimously. The resolution is timed at the North Central Association. Representative John Napier Dyer (Dem., Vincennes), urging adoption of the resolution, charge the association could stipulate the number of janitors a school should have in order to hold a certain academic rating. Even Representative Herbert H. Evans, Newcastle, minority floor leader, declared he was “glad to support the resolution.” •UNITED AMERICANS’ FORMED BY NORDYKE Organization is Devoted to Citizens’ Interests, Says Founder. Formation of the United Americans of Indiana, an organization devoted to interests of citizens, with Robert S. Nordyke, son of the founder of the Nordyke & Marmon Company, as president, was announced today. Membership solicitation has been underway for several w’eeks, and plans have been made for election of a directorate within a short time, Nordyke said. Employed persons seeking membership will be charged an entrance fee of $1 while unemployed will be admitted for a 25-cent fee. Funds will be used to promote work of the organization, Nordyke said.

END CONGRESS WITH NO AID TO NEEDY VOTED Failure of Wagner Bill May Mean Policy Change to Provide Direct Relief. BY RUTH FINNEY Times StafT Writer WASHINGTON, March 4. Tire seventy-second congress adjourns today without providing in any way for relief of human suffering. Failure of the Wagner relief bill, providing for continuation of relief loans through the R. F. C., probably will mean a change, in the next session, to a policy of direct grants from the federal government. Since the senate passed the Wagner bill ten days ago. such alarming testimony has been given both houses of congress about impending municipal defaults that many of those who have insisted on loans for relief feel that this plan no longer is feasible. Senators Robert La Follette (Rep., Wis.) and Edward P. Costigan (Dem., Colo.) will reintroduce their relief bill in the special session. They have not decided whether to alter it from its present form, which provides $500,000,000 for distribution to the states. Wait Roosevelt’s Views Senator Robert Wagner (Dem.. N. Y.) also intends to lay a relief bill before the next congress in the special session. He is willing to support direct grants for relief, though his previous bills have all provided for loans. Congress waits a declaration of policy from the new President on this issue, and probably will, be guided to a great extent by his views. Congress marked time, made valedictory speeches, presented its officers with gifts, and passed trivial private relief bills through its final hours both Friday and Saturday, and no attempt was planned in either house to secure a vote on relief bills. Hoover Opposes Plan The growing number of members who favor direct grants made no effort to pass such legislation in the closing hours of the session because of President Herbert Hoover’s opposition, many times repeated. The Wagner bill was allowed to die in the house banking and currency committee without protest because of the feeling that the policy it expresses may have to be scrapped.’ Without assurances that the special session will be convened in a very short time, urgent pleas for help would have been made to congress by Illinois. That state has borrowed as much for relief as It legally can borrow under the existing R. F. C. act and its funds will be exhausted this month. 44.403 FAMILIES FED Relief Kitchen Also Provides Meals for 28,700 Men. During the month of February, 266.418 meals were provided for 44.403 families from the city and county employes’ relief kitchen, according to a report issued today by W. H. Marsh, manager. In addition, 28.700 men were fed at tables, a total not included in the family report. Two hundred fifty emergency baskets and 246 loads of fuel were distributed during the month. Marsh issued an appeal for donation of clothing and money for use at the relief kitchen. Financial support of the kitchen has been derived from proceeds of roller polo matches and notary fees from branch automobile bureaus.

1-DAY REPEAL SESSION URGED Wet Convention Candidate Proposes Service Without Pay. Public notice as a delegate candidate to the state dry law repeal convention has been given by D. J. Lyman, 6128 Rosslyn street, vicepresident of Lyman Brothers, in a letter to The Times. Lyman says he favors repeal. “My opinion is that the members should serve without pay and that the convention should last one day. This would be enough time to organize its business, vote and adjourn.” he says. The legislative act. providing for the election call to name delegates to the repeal convention, is ready for signature of Governor Paul V. McNutt. Under its provisions the Governor will be required to call an election to be held prior to May 20. John F. Ryan of Terre Haute, state representative, author of the beer control bill and the Wright law “repealer,” announced to the general assembly, Friday, his candidacy as chairman of the Indiana repeal convention. Martin J. Downey of Hammond said he would act as Ryan’s campaign manager and would bid for the secretaryship of the convention.

NEW BANKRUPT LAW PROTECTS LABOR’SRIGHTS Wage Agreements to Be i Upheld: ‘Yellow Dog* Pacts Outlawed. By Scripps-Hntranl Xrwspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 4.—The | rights of workers will be protectedj for the first time in the history of j bankruptcy laws—in any reorganization of railroads that takes place under the new bankruptcy law. i Provisions protecting wage agrcc- : ments, outlawing "yellow dog” conj tracts, and forbidding use of funds Ito assist company union were written into the bill by Senator George Norris ißep.. Neb.) and accepted by the house and President Herbert Hoover. Donald R. Richberg, general | counsel for the railway labor i executives association, called at- | tent ion to the far-reaching importance of this provision in a statement today. “In the first place the wage agrre- | ment of Jan. 31. 1932, is protected.” j Mr. Richberg said. “In the second i place the right of self-organization ! provided in the railway labor act is I confirmed and federal judges are I prohibited from disregarding those rights as frequently has occurred heretofore in railroad receiverships; in the third place -the yelow dog contract is outlawed on the railroads. “Asa result of these provisions a | railroad going into receivership no ! longer can carry on a war against I organized labor in violation of the j railway labor act. “Employes can not be coerced to sign yelow dog contracts, and prevented from joining the regular organizations. The funds of a railroad can not be used to maintain I company unions and to coerce em- | ployes to become members in comi pany unions.” ENROLLMENT BOOSTED AT CENTRAL NORMAL Spring- Term at Danville SchueJ Opens With 420 Registered.
