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. BV WALKER STONE Timm 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 suspended 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 in the capitol’s corridors, reciting their misgivings as to the banking situation. They place all the blame upon Mr. Hoover and the Republican leaders, but they admit that they alone can not chart a true course. These Democratic leaders say they do not know what Mr. Roosevelt 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 som of th proposals discussd by Dmocrats in congrss: 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 Some form of bank deposit guarantee legislation to induce frightened depositors to return withdrawn funds.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 (Dem., Wash.). Might Embargo Gold A joint resolution giivng the President Power to invoke a gold embargo, and giving the controller of the currency the power to permit banks to refuse to pay out currency over the counter, and pay instead in credits and cashiers” checks. The story of banking developments in Washington in the last 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 corrency 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 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.

Existence of a great Mexican pyramid, which outshines in size the famous Pyramid of the Sun near Mexico City, is reported by Alfonso Caso, Mexican archeologist, who is now exploring a little-known rei gion in the Oaxaca mountains. Mexico's new prehistoric pyramid is at an ancient city known as Te- | jupan, in the southern part of Mexico associated with the old culture of the Mixtec Indians. The city has been known to exist, but never before has been reached by an archeologist. Don Esteban Avendano, ranch owner who takes a great interest in archeological remains in the countryside, explored the great pyramid. He found that it was built in five layers, in the old Mexican fashion of enlarging public structures from time to time. Caso also announced that he has visited the Hill of the Virgin, an archeological site brought to his attention recently by Emma Reh, Science Service correspondent. The site is pronounced imoortant because it is a place of Mixtec Indian tombs, about which archeologists know almost nothing. The tombs, Caso said, are round and lined with stone, and they ascend like steps at the same time encircling the cone-shaped Virgin Hill.

‘New Deal ’ Is Foreseen in Indian Bureau Affairs

Complete Reorganization Is Predicted Under Guidance of Roosevelt. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper 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. Ickes 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 Johnson 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 matters 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 ‘WASHBOARD THROAT’ CURSE OF MILLIONS! THOXINE STOPS IT! Changing, treacherous weather afflicts millions with poisoning, deadening throat infections—sore throat, “washboard throat,” a truly dangerous ailment. The sick, all-in. dead-tired feeling which thousands mistake for “flu” is often due to throat infection. And perhaps the throat only feels raw. or rough. The thing to do is take a swallow of Thoxine. Soreness, hoarseness, and rasping goes quickly. Sick, tired feeling yields. Coughs disappear in a jiffy. A few doses usually see you through. Thoxine is an entirely different type of medicine. It counteracts the toxins and poisons that cause sore throat, colds, and coughs—something that gargles, salves, lozenges, and cough syrup do net do. It's real prescription medicine—safe even for children—3sc at all drug stores.— Advertisement.

TYPHUS FEVER SERUM SOUGHT Protective Vaccine May Be Developed by Scientists. P,y Science Service WASHINGTON, March 4. The last steps in the conquest of typhus fever are being taken here :in Washington research laboratories and down in Mexico. With the cause of the disease and the method of transmission known, scientists are working to perfect vaccines and serums that will give protection against it. At the National Institute of Health in Washington, a vaccine has been made from typhus fever infected rat fleas, which protects guinea pigs from the disease, and promises to develop into a protective vaccine for humans as well. Down in Mexico, a vaccine which should give lasting protection against the disease, and a serum which gives protection for a short dme and which may be helpful in treating the disease, is being given to human subjects. These two, the vaccine and the serum, were developed by Dr. Hans Zinsser and associates at Harvard university. Wholesale delousing procedures kept this ancient plague of filth, poverty and crowding out of the Western armies during the World war. This step was based on the discovery of Nicolle that lice transmit typhus fever. When it was next found that rats are a reservoir of the disease, anew measure of control was seen in war on rats. But while armies can be deloused it is difficult or impossible to delouse an entire population, and the task of exterminating rats is equally Herculean. So disease-fighters are now winning their hopes of controlling the disease on the development of a serum or vaccine that would be as useful as vaccination for smallpox or the protective serum for typhoid fever, FISH SLEEP ON SIDES Aquarium Director’s Study Settles Much Mooted Question.

END CONGRESS WITH NO AID TO NEEDY_VOTED Failure of Wagner Bill May Mean Policy Change to Provide Direct Relief. BY RUTH FINNEY Time. Staff Writer WASHINGTON. March 4. The 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.

BRITISH WRITER DRAWS LAUGHS Describes Early Years of English History for Town Hall. Stories of how early kings and queens of England found fault with the hospitality of her ancestors were related humorously Friday by the Honorable Victoria Sackville-West. English novelist and only daughter of Lord and Lady Sackville of Knole, Kent, before a town hall audience at English's. “My ancestors always were getting in bad with their kings and queens,” said Miss Sackville-West with a smile. “When King James I visited our home, they provided him with a bed made of gold and decorated with ostrich plumes which today would cost something like $120,000. but they failed to provide sheets and other bed linen. “And the records show that the king protested. Once in the days of Queen Elizabeth, when an ambassador was entertained, he protested to the crown. It developed that he was not provided with jugs and basins. “The reason he didn't was that the head of the house had only one set. The only deduction is that they just didn't wash in those days.” The Town Hall audience, prior to the lecture, voted to have her talk on “Changing Aspects in Enjlish Social Life,” instead of “Novels and Novelists.” River Pirates Captured P ! United l’rrss HOAQUIAM, Wash.. March 4. Police finally succeeded in arresting two river pirates. They captured two 14-year-old boys who had preyed upon smal boats anchored along the river.

NEW BANKRUPT i LAW PROTECTS LABOR’SRIGHTS Wage Agreements to Be , Upheld: 'Yellow Dog’ Pacts Outlawed. I By Seripps-Hntrard Xctr * paper Alliance WASHINGTON. March 4.—The ' rights of workers will be protected - for the first time in the history of bankruptcy laws—in any reorganiza- | tion of railroads that takes place under the new bankruptcy law. Provisions protecting wage agree- ; ments, outlawing “yellow dog" con- ! tracts, and forbidding use of funds jto assist company union were 1 written into the bill by Senator George Norris 'Rep. Neb.) and accepted by the house and President Herbert Hoover. Donald R. Richberg. general counsel for the railway labor executives association, cailed atI tention to the far-reaching im- | portance of this provision in a statement today. "In the first place the wage agreement of Jan. 31. 1932. is protected ” Mr. Richberg said. "In the second place the right of self-organization provided in the railway labor act is confirmed and federal judges are 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 organized labor in violation of the 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 company unions and to coerce employes to become members in comt pany unions.” MOTORIZED EDUCATION PROVES SUCCESSFUL Traveler’s Children Attend School in 6 Cities in 6 Weeks.
