State Banks Gain Ground Year After Moratorium

Wobbly Condition of Indiana Institutions Erased in 12 Months. Today marks the anniversary of one of the most momentous events in economic history of the United States, the start of the series of events which led to the national bank moratorium, leaving trade practically paralyzed. Today, the banking situation in Indiana presents a wholesome contrast to its wobbly status at that period. Just one year ago today. Feb. 14, 1933. the Governor of Michigan declared a state banking moratorium, as result of lack of confidence in all banks caused indirectly by the crisis in affairs of the Union Guardian Trust Company, Detroit. The Michigan action created unrest in other parts of the country’, and depositors began heavy withdrawals, leaving banks with weakened cash resources. Then, to protect the banks and their depositors, other states declared moratoria. Indianapolis banks acted to protect depositors by limiting withdrawals. starting Feb. 25, to 5 per cent of deposits as of that date. This action created great confusion in the city, business firms finding difficulty in obtaining cash to pay their employes. For about a week commerce here and throughout the nation practically was stagnated. On March 6. two days after his inauguration, President Roosevelt declared a national bank moratorium, closing every bank in the nation. This confused condition continued eight days, until March 14, when, after hasty checkups had been made of conditions of the various banks, twenty-six Indianapolis banks were permitted to reopen.

CITY RESIDENTS GIVE VIEWS ON AUSTRIAREVOLT Dollfuss, Usurper, Hapgood Says: Minority Rule Hit by Dr. Wicks. Echoes of the chaotic situation in Austria were heard in Indianapolis today as a number of city residents who have visited Austria and are familiar with that country, expressed their views. Powers Hapgood, member of the national executive committee of the Socialist party, interviewed in his s home at Southport by a Times re- • porter, said: "Indianapolis Sociali ists are solidly behind the Austrian Socialists to prevent a Fascist dictatorship.” The big point is that the country is thoroughly Socialistic and Dollfuss merely has usurped the power which rightfully belongs to the Socialist party. Conditions Have Changed "Os course,” Mr. Hapgood continued, "conditions politically and economically have changed greatly since my last visit to Austria several‘years ago. But even then the Socialists following the doctrines of the great Karl Marx, had begun their wonderful projects dedicated to the common good. The fine apartments which were shelled yesterday were among these enterprises. "Austria is in a perious condition. Italy and perhaps some of the other great powers will support Dollfuss. Moscow for the first time in two decades regards the efforts of the Socialists favorably. They applaud the efforts of the workers to free themselves from the yoke of Fascism. ‘‘Out of this witch’s brew serious trouble is certain to come.” Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks of 111 East Forty-fourth street, pastor of All Souls Unitarian church, was in central Europe last summer and observed the trends which have led to discord. Sees Minority in Control "In Austria today,” said Dr. Wicks, “we have the most deplorable attempt of the minority to control the majority seen in recent times. The Socialists represent 66 per cent of the populace. ‘‘There is no doubt in my mind that the Dollfuss regime is supported by other countries interested in the advancement of Fascism. "If given a chance, 7. believe, Austria would go Nazi.” Dr. Vincent A. LaPenta. 2424 Park avenue, royal consular regent for Italy, interviewed at his home, said: "Italy, France and Great Britain stand ready to support the independence of Austria.” Mrs. Harry Barnard, 5050 Pleasant Run parkway, who recently returned from Austria after an extended visit, said that the majority of citizens in Vienna seemed satisfied with the Dollfuss rule. Poverty Is Widespread "Respectable poverty is so widespread in Austria,” said Mrs. Barnard, “that the people have little time for anything except wondering about their individual existence. Most of the populace live from day to day. Mrs. Bernard said that the Karl Marx Hos in Vienna, which was shelled by artillery yesterday w T as one of the most beautiful apartment houses in the world. Constructed on half a quadrangle facing a park the building was kept bright with flowers, according to Mrs. Bernard. Apartments rented for as low as $9 a month.

State Trucking Officers Seek Code Explanations

Others got the order to reopen within the next few dayss. Some of the reopened banks were on unrestricted basis, while others were designated Class B banks, with all deposits prior to the moratorium being subject to the 5 per cent withdrawal limit, in the latter group. In the short space of a year, the shattered confidence in banks, which made the moratorium necessary, has been rebuilt, through various means, including deposit insurance carried by banks. Through the state banking department, efforts are being made to clarify status of seventy-six state banks which have been on restricted basis since the moratorium, either by reopening them or liquidating them. Department directors assert fully one-half of these banks will be reopened. while the others necessarily must be liquidated. The new state banking code provides the process for this supervised liquidation of closed banks, so that huge fees and costs may be avoided and a maximum of benefits return to depositors. The department also is engaged in efforts to release $20,000,000 of deposits', in banks closed permanently in the last four years. This group includes 150 closed banks and trust companies, books of which are being studied by nine examiners preparatory to approval of Reconstruction Finance Corporation loans. These banks had $45,000,000 of depositors’ funds tied up. Receivers and liquidation agents have been abe to pay back about $10,000,000 through liquidation, and the state department is confident $20,000,000 can be added to this sum through the RFC loans. The department has approved nineteen applications and forwarded them to federal officials, study for forty-nine other applications has been started, and thirtyseven closed banks have been classed as not eligible lor the assistance, in

PARKS LISTED HIGH AMONG GITY ASSETS System Financially Sound, Sallee Tells Rotary. t The $10,000,000 park system maintained by Indianapolis stands as one of its greatest assets in a program of community development, A. C. Sallee, park superintendent, said yesterday in an address before the Rotary Club. In the scope of the park system comes the factor of morale building in a time of stress, declared Mr. Sallee. Besides this, an increase in value of property adjacent to parks invariably can be found, he pointed out. Through the six municipal golf courses, most of which have shown a substantial profit, the tax rate has been kept down, he said. The forty-seven public playgrounds, five swimming pools, two river beaches, eight community houses, seventy-five tennis courts and numerous baseball diamonds are of tremendous significance in the safety and recreation of the city's population, he said. The park department still is in a sound financial condition despite the drastic cuts in the budget of the department, the superintendent asserted.
