ASK BANKERS TO COOPERATE WITH RECOVERY EFFORTS WASHINGTON. Oct 23, 'UP) — President Francis M. Law opened the first general session of the American Bankers association convention today with a plea for cooperation with President Roosevelt’s recovcyy efforts. Law’s address before the 4,000 delegates started the convention drive of bankers to place the association formally on record for permanent recovery plans based. Law phrased it, "on liberal sound business doctrine and rational humanitarianism.” In his annual message, Law adopted a conciliatory temperate tone, designed apparently to take the edge off undercurrents of banking resentment to various phases of the new deal which flared into open criticism at division meetings yesterday. It cleared the way for President Roosevelt's speech tomorrow night which is expected to seek new cooperation for recovery from the nation’s bank-
ers.
Delegates, filling the National theater near convention headquarters, listened attentively to Law’s speech and interrupted occasionally with mild aplause. His statement that bankers should “lead in the movement" to restore business "confidence" was greeted by outbursts of applause from scattered groups, but the acclaim did not appear to be general. Bankers are forward looking, Law said. They believe the administration recognizes the need of individual initiative and “private profit.” They are prepared to cooperate with a recovery program of liberal character. They are eager to make loans, but demand for credit is low. They consistently have given more than "lip service” in the recovery drive. Leo T. Crowley, chairman of the FDIC, the first member of the Roosevelt administration to speak at the convention, took a conservative slant. He warned against new bank expansion and suggested that the Deposit Insurance Corporation be strengthened by tightening restric tions for membership to more than "mere solvency” requirements from applicants. He advocated that the present $5,000 full deposit insurance guarantee be made permanent. President Law departed from his prepared speech to wain against over-optimism.

FNCl.E SAM NOW OFFERS TO TRADE IN POOR FARM LAND
MALTA, Mont., (UP)—In three northern Montana counties Uncle Sam has launched one of the more important new deal experiments. Here in Ratine. Phillips anti Valley counties- the government is trying to convince farmers to trade poor farm lands for good, paying acreage. In effect, that's what is taking place as the first phase of the government's submarginal farm land purchasing program gets under way in Montana. The government, through Agricultural Economist H. L. Lantz, lias announced it is in the market for 600 - 000 acres of dry farming land in those three counties. It will pay from 50 cents to $2 per acre for grazing lands and from $.'i to $7 per acre for cultivated and meadow acres. With money received from these sales, farmers are encouraged to purchase irrigated farm lands in the famous, rich Milk River valley neat
by.
Before Lantz and his crew complete their work they expect to bring 600.000 acres of poorer lands under government ownership. To date, Uncle Sam has secured options on 76.405 acres of dry land and has appraised about 180.000 additional acres with intention to buy it. Once under government ownership, the poor land will he turned Into cooperative grazing districts, where rigid control will insure plenty of permanent pasturage and stock water. No coercion is made to get farmers to sell. In fact, if fanners hereabouts own good, normal crop bearing land, the government prefers not to buy it.

Speaking in DePauw chapel Tuesday morning Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam. university president, compared the battles of college and life, to a championship prize-fight. He said: "Chape! themes are seldom found at championship prize-fights. Professionalised boxing has become so cor-; rupt, at times so brutal, and generally so associated with gambling that chapel and ring have nothing in common. Recently, however, the world listened to the blow by blow account of a battle for the heavyweight championship of the world. Baer fought Camera. "Prize fighters, accommodating themselves to the necessary bally-hoo required to draw crowds at high prices, talk much about themselves. Amateur athletes keep prowess in their own hearts, or perhaps share it with one other. A little lady who is fond of one of our football players revealed dhat fact. Someone mentioned that a certain player was making a rpicndid record this year. Ho was the man. Her reply, naive ami beautiful, was, ‘Yes, I guess he is about the whole team, isn't he?’ "Baer is a talker and I fear a strutter. He is reported to have said before the fight, 'The only thing that gives me a pain about this fight is that I can't sit out there and watch this big four-flusher take what he’s goin’ to get’. Apparently he knew what he was talking about. The manmountain took an awful beating. “The incident that has chapel possibilities was related to me by the editor of the 'Methodist Hymnal’. He described the early rounds in which Camera was on the floor several times. Once after a terrific blow, Carn ra in falling grabbed Baer and both went to the floor. Picture if you will the American and the Italian. They are on the floor. Mad thousands are yelling. The world championship is at stake. Baer, cocky as usual, turns to Camera and says, 'The last one up is a sissy’. ‘ The last one up is a sissy. Life is an affair of the ring. We are hemmed in by ropes of custom, heritage, elements of fate, and there is more than one antagonist. Ten seconds on the floor and we are counted out. It behooves us to keep upon our feet, guard up, ready for battle. The last one up is a sissy. "At the moment some of you, freshmen particularly, have been floored by six-week grades. History smacked you down. Science got in a telling blow. Yon are on the floor. The last one up is a sissy. "If life has not struck blows of sorrow, it will. Your nearest and dearest will be called eventually. It is the hardest blow that the fighter must withstand. You may lose money. You may lose your job. These are blows, and some never get to their feet again. But when the blow before which all must fall strikes down one in whom your life has centered, and that fact becomes a slashing punch that sends you reeling to the floor, remember the last one up is a sissy. "It is equally true in the life of the group, the nation. Washington's little army at Valley Forge was taking the count. The European spectators thought the fight was over. It was not. The republic fought on. The last one up is a sissy. The Civil war was the hardest blow. All civil strife is terrible, and particularly when it is within one’s self. Lincoln clung to the principle, the union must be preserved. The individual must cling to the desire for the unified life. The nation was on the floor again. The referee called fat' was counting, ami his arm was rising and falling. But the nation stood upon its feet once more, and during the dizzy days of reconstruction fought poorly but fought on. The last one up is a sissy. Students who fight civil war may remember too. The union must be preserved. It is selfishness that floors you? Is it passion? Is it pride? Is it lop-sided-ncss, too much social life, too much intellectual pursuit? Are you prostrate, and is the jeering crowd joining in the referee’s count? The last one up is a sissy. "We are in a thirteenth round in the nation. There is hysteria in the air. There is danger of inner struggle. Economic forces have been punching away, and the nation is almost punch-drunk. In some sections it is on the floor. The last one up is a
sissy."

1 ('unf Iniir'l From Pnsr Osr) young to be peace officers and authority "has gone right to their heads.” Fultz thought ho had wounded Floyd during Saturday's gun battle. Floyd was traced to a woods which federal men and Wellsville police surrounded, thinking they had him j trapped. But Floyd, elusive as a | phantom in a long criminal career through the southwest and middle
west, escaped.
Yesterday morning Purvis received tip from a farmer from whom Floyd had received food. With four East Liverpool policemen and three department of justice agents Purvis followed the trail to the Conkle farm where they found Floyd and S. L. Dyke, brother of Mrs. Conkle, getting into a car. Floyd, persuasive and presentable, had talked the farmhand into driving him to Youngstown. The officers spotted Floyd and screamed commands to surrender. Floyd jerked out a pistol, attempted to force Dykes to start the car, then jumped out and ran behind the corncrib. The officers advanced with machine guns, shotguns and pistols. For a second, the gunman seemed prepared to fight it out, but then fled toward the nearby woods. He ran not more than 20 feet before bullets
cut him down.
An inquest over Floyd’s body was to be held this afternoon. It was to be a formality. Purvis announced he would stay in East Liverpool until the "case is cleared up.” meaning lie would stay until Wellsville decided to turn Richotti over to federal custody. Wellsville officers took the stand that warrants charging murder Bash brought from Kansas City were bencii warrants, and did not represent an indictment. They said Kan SH3 City's claim was not valid until it coiild show Richetti had been indicted by a grand jury. The grand jury action in Wellsville was believed brought with a view of indicting
Richetti first there.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct. 23 (UP A suit in federal court here was tho last hope of Indiana Republicans today in their fight against the slate government reorganization act and to declare Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend was holding his office illegially. Rebuked twice within a week, representatives of Indiana G. O. P. yesterday saw their chances of placing the name of Joseph B. Kyle, Gary, on the November election ballot? as a candidate for Lieutenant governor, fade completely. Ruling that Townsend was elected for a four-year term and that should he disqualify himself at any time during ids term, the state senate must fill the vacancy, special Judge Henry Seyfried in Marion circuit court, dispelled any hopes of the Republicans to place Kyle’s name on the ballots. The Republicans had nominated Kyle at their June convention on the contention that Townsend was holding his office illegially because he became director of commerce under the 1933 governmental reorganization act. Several days ago circuit court Judge Earl Cox had denied the re-
