were to be voted on today at the

Indiana Bankers’ Association con- |

vention here.

More than 600 bankers from all sections of the state were registered |

as the two-day session opened at the Claypool Hotel.

Robert H. Myers, association presi- |

dent, keynoted the convention with the remark that “it once was fashionable but now is tiresome for bankers to criticize the New Deal.”

U. S. Lending Hit

The resolutions committee report in asking abolishment of the Postal Savings System, comments that “the operation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. obviates any alleged need for postal savings.” “The continues encroachment of government competition inte ‘the field of private enterprise, particularly through Federal lending agencies. is condemned and should be discontinued,” another resolution states. “Banks and financial institutions are prepared and aggressively willing to take care of all legitimate credit needs.” Other resolutions submitted petition Congress to protect the independence of the U, S. Controller of the Currency, and ask exemption of banks and their employees from Social Security payroll taxes.

Salary Average Reported A forum ‘conducted by the association’s research ‘committee TYevealed that few minor emplovees of

banks ever rise to the bank's pres-!

idency. and that the average salary of bank employees other than of-

ficers is less than $1200 a vear. The committee's study revealed, it was reported, that half of the bank mresidents in Indiana started in the banking business as president, and that most of the other half started as vice president or cashier. The committee reported it had found only nine presidents who began at the bottom—as janitors, bookkeepers, or messenger bovs— and who had never held anv other job outside of the bunk where they are now president. President Myers, in discussing banking problems, declared: “Indiana bankers have a mvriad of problems attendant to slim earnings and low interest rates, but they are addressing them seriously and are giving better bank management than ever before.”

had been ‘curtailed and the number of forums had been increased. He said that the lack of bankable loans contributes a good deal to the banker's worries. “Bankers,” he said, “are aggressively ready and willing to make the right kind of loans but are not now readv and never have been to make the wrong kind.” he said. He said the lack of bankable loans could be attributed only, in his estimation, to an uncertainty of the future. The Rt. Rev. R. A. Kirchhoffer, bishop of the Diocese of Indianapolis, gave the invocation. Prof. Herbert Heaton, of the history department of Minnesota Uni-
