mination of the government to carry
on TO the finish its fight to rid the
nation of communist and communist
labor party members. more than p
500 OF whom now await deportation

nationwide raids, was seen in the
request transmitted today by the de-
partment Of labor to congress for
new appropriations aggregating ST.

ment of laws against radicals and
for their deportation.
While members Of congress were
yet giving the request preliminary
consideration, from the temporary
headquarters here of the Russian
soviet bureau, located less than
three blocks from the department of
justice building, there was issued a
written statement by S. Nuoreteva,
who said he was secretary to Ludwig

sador 10 the United States from the
Russian soviet government, setting
forth general charges against de-

Nuoreteva statement and although
refusing TO discuss 1t officially. said

The department OF Iabor's request

munity."

board served notice that the board
did not consider itself bound by any
agreement Of clearing house asso-
etations whereby the interest rate
on deposits would be advanced or
reduced automatically in line with
Increases or reductions in rediscount
rates of federal reserve banks. but
would act freely and independently
in taking any necessary action to
meet the financial situation in vari-
Gus parts Of the country. Gov.
Harding predicted that a raise in
the rediscount rates would be
necessary and appealed to the
bankers not to make a scram-
bic for deposits" by advancing in
terest rates on balances. He pro-
tested against a tendency to turn
deposits into investment funds.

ing, and that every effort should be
