 Past Acute Stage
[Republlcan A. p. Leased Wirel

CHARLOTTE, N. C., Sept. 22.- Gloomy forebodngs of last winter with respect to the banking situation are no longer justified and can be dismissed, Governor Harding of the federal reserve board declared in an address tonight
 "The banking situation has greatly improved" he said, "and although readjustment has not been completed. evidences are multiplying that we have passed the most acute stage"
 Governor Harding stated that in the immediate future much would depend on agricultural developments and the manner in which this years crops were marketed.
 With proper cooperation by mer- chants and bankers" he said. those engaged in agriculture have oppor- tunities and prospects which were not anticipated a few months ago. and it is of vital importance that this CO., operation be given.
 Tt should be remembered that te maintain our production we mus push our foreign trade. Some means must be devised for extending long time credits abroad or in interesting American investors in foreign proper. ties and securities in order that the exchange rate may be corrected"

Maddock Answers
 Douglas Charges Of Misnanagenent

PRESCOTT, Septss 22-Thomas l.. Maddeck, state engineer. tonight faced James s. Douglas, millionaire mine owner of Jerome, across the hall of the local chamber of com merce and responded to charges of the latter, made recently in letter to the Prescott commercial body, in which he alleged mismanagement in the administration of the state high way department.
 The state engineer introduced fig sures from his records to refute charges made by Douglas. These fig ures. he said, showed that the Gran ite Delis section of the Prescott-Je- rome highway had cost the state from s5.000 to $S,000 less than the federal aid estimate.
 Two weeks ago, Douglas wrote the local chamber charging that con- struction of this section of the road was costing three times what it should. and said the taxpayers would be amazed when records were finally barred. Maddock promised to make public all figures in connection with construction costs.
 Charges and counter charges were flung back and forth across the hall. At the close of the meeting, the chamber of commerce extended State Engineer Maddock vote of thanks 1 for his talk
