JURY TO QUIZ BOOKKEEPER OF CLOSED BANK Accountants Also Summoned to Probe Now Being Conducted. Second chapter of grand jury investigation of affairs of the defunct States Savings and Trust Company opened today with a former employe and two acountants called as witnesses. Lloyd Strawmcyer, former bank bookkeeper; Lloyd Kerim and C. N. Carter, representing the accounting firm of Spradling. Carter Jordan, were to testify in the probe ordered by Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson. At the opening of the investigation Wednesday, Homer Elliott, bank receiver, and his employe, Miss Catherine Holland, appeared before the grand jury. They presented records of the bank and its subsidiary, the State Property Company. Considerable time v.as devoted to study of the records, which, according to Wilson, reveal discrepancies in bank statements made to the state banking department. Total of obligations amounting to S7OO 000 was carried in the statements at $500,000, and a $40,000 deposit in the Fletcher American National bank was carried as an asset instead of a liability of the property company, according to Wilson. Completion of the State Savings probe is being awaited by Wilson before taking action toward investigation of an alleged $1,750,000 defalcation by former officials of the Washington Bank and Trust Company. FIGHT ON CHILD LABOR RENEWED IN CONGRESS Minnesota Representative Thinks Supreme Court Would Uphold Law. It I/ Srrii>)in-Hnu iiril Xi nnfini>er Alliiner WASHINGTON, May 25.—Another attempt to prohibit child labor by law is being made by Representative Paul Kvale i FarmerLabor, Minn. i. The United States supreme court decision holding a child labor law uncontsitutional was by a 5 to 4 decision, and Representative Kvale believes the present court will uphold a law along this line, particularly if it is defined as emergency legislation. His bill would make child labor Illegal for a period of three years unless the President before that time shall proclaim that normal employment conditions for adults have been restored. “This immediately would open up two million jobs,” declares Kvale. A child labor amendment to the Constitution was submitted by congress nearly ten years ago, but only twelve states have ratified it. Senator Shipstead may introduce the same bill in the senate.

‘FORGET’ STORY, PLEA TO COURT Newspapers’ Accident Reports Wrong, Roundabout Hint of Lawyer. Request that the court “forget newspaper accounts” of the auto accident in which Miss Charline Meredith, 18, of 2341 Carrollton ave- | nue, Tudor Hall graduate, is alleged |to have been shoved under the wheels of a passing auto, was voiced | today by the defense in municipal :court three. The request was made by Earl K. I Askren, attorney for Mrs. Ruth R. R. 1, Box 419, as tje ob- | tained from Clyde Karrer, judge pro I tern., a continuance to June 15 on assault and battery charegs. When Askren asked a continuance in the case of the state vs. Ruth Mertz, Karrer said: “Oh. yes, that's the case where a woman is supposed ! to have knocked a girl under a car, | isn't it?” “Yes." Askren replied, “but I'd , like to ask the court to forget news- ! paper accounts of the happening. That’s no 'slam' at the newspaper ! men,” he added. j The accident occurred at Tenth j street and Kealing avenue May 17 jwhen the auto driven by Miss Meri- ; dith bumped into the rear of Mrs. Mertz’ car at a stoplight. Both got out and witnesses said Mrs. Mertz struck Miss Meredith with her fist during the following altercation over the blame. Miss Meredith fell, and was run over oy | a car driven by Wiliam Albershardt, 13758 Broadway, which had pulled j alongside. Miss Meredith still is in Methoj dist hospital.

Recovery!

What is all this talk about “national recovery" legislation? What does it mean, stripped of all its confusing verbiage, this “revival bill"? In a series of stories, the first of which appears today on Page three, The Times will endeavor to make clear to you just what this bill means, just what it aims to accomplish, and how it is planned to reach its goal. Many readers have been confused because news stories seemed to minimize the major features of the bill, due to the sharp controversy over tax methods. Read the first of these stories on Page Three today. A second will appear Friday.

LOWER FREIGHT RATES SOUGHT Elimination of Surcharge on Coal Also Asked by State Dealers. Reduction in freight rates will be j sought by members and officers of ; the Indiana Coal Merchant's Asso- 1 elation following the adoption of a resoluton today at the closing session of their two-day meeting in the Lincoln. The resolution urged the association's directorate to do everything possible to “obtain a reduction in freight rates and the elimination of the 6 cents surcharge" on coal. Combating “mine to consumer" competition was urged in another resolution. “We believe the organization is underfinanced, and we believe that each county should be organized to assist the field secretary in the collecting of dues and obtaining new members and to combat ‘mine to consumer' competition. We believe that if no other way presents itself, the minimum tonnage schedule should be lived up to or the dues raised, the resolution says. Stabilization of retail trade was urged in a third resolution upon the Appalachian Coals, Inc., a corporation formed for controlling the supply of coal in Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana.
