OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 21.—Joseph Bartlett Eastman, latest of the 'dictators' 1 appointed by President Roosevelt and one of Washington's most persistent askers of questions, is, and long has been prepared for the Herculean task of reorganizing

America’s $26,000.000,000 railroad system. Eastman isn’t a Democrat. Neither is he a Republican. He got the job simply because he knows railroads. He is an independent as far as politics are concerned. So independent is he in all the rest of his thinking that during his fourteen years as a member of the interstate commerce commission his confer-

rees often accused him of being "a radical.” That is why he airs so readily his belief that President Roosevelt’s railroad bill is no panacea; that the railroads can not solve their problems until the government actually takes over their operation. Eastman is 51, a bachelor, a squash player, and a devoted squire to his sister, Miss Elizabeth, who keeps house for him on peaceful Cathedral avenue. Questions Them All Ho is one of the hardest working men in public life, but has gained his chief fame through his habit of asking questions—always pertinent and sometimes embarrassing—of the railroad men who have appeared before him. He is in the throes now of organizing the force of accounts, investigators, and clerks who will help him to administer the President's experimental railroad bill. Job hunters track the green plush right in front of his huge deck on the tenth floor of the interstate commerce commission building. Carpenters pound on partitions. Clerks stream in and out with trays of letters, telegrams and documents. Eastman questions them all, from force of habit. A Rubber Band “Addict” Habit also causes him to smoke a briar pipe most of the time and to thrum a rubber band between his thumbs while he is thinking. The rubber band is one of the most necessary parts of his thinking equipment, serving in the same fashion as did ex-President Hoover’s pencil and scratch pad during periods of deep thought. He is of medium height, with gray hair, stooped shoulders, and a long upper lip, like Queen Victoria’s. He is the son of a New England , clergyman, a distinguished attorney and a crony of Chief Justice Louis Brandeis. The latter recommended him for his first federal post to President Wilson. Eastman was 37 then, the youngest man on the interstate commerce commission. Wednesday: Secretary of Agriculture. Henry A. Wallace.

Manner in which the new state banking code is expected to prevent bank failures was described to the Rotary Club Tuesday by Leo M. Gardner, chairman of the banking committee of the Indiana house of representatives. Gardner declared that 70 per cent of Indiana bank failures have been due to inadequate supervision, bad management, breach of trust and improper chartering, all points covered by the new code. Employement of an unlimited number of bank examiners paid by fees is expected to result in proper supervision, Gardner said, and halt bad management. Limitations on the amounts which may be invested in any one type of securities also is expected to bring a diversification that will increase the banks’ safety margin, the speaker declared. Gardner criticised change in the code raising to 35 per cent the amount of deposits which may be invested in real estate. He pointed out that original limitation was 20 per cent, and oredicted that the next session of the legislature would fix the amount at the smaller figure.
