 Are Proven
By Associated Press

Washington, February 20.-Charges that officials of the Atlanta federal reserve bank were intimidating' local bankers :n Alabama were made in the Senate today by Senator Hef- lin. democrat. Alabama. He an nounced that he would ask for an investigation by the Senate and re- moval of the Atlanta bank officials if his charges were proven.
 The basis of Senator Heflin's charges was a letter he received from an Alabama banker stating that the Atlanta reserve bank officials were asking that local bankers write to Senator Henin in opposition to MT. Hef1in's reiterated attacks upon the federal reserve board.
 Denouncing corrupt and con temptible politicians" Senator lief lin said the evident object of letters sent to small bankers by the Atlanta officials was to discredit his (Sena- tor Heflin's) charges against the
  were that the board had deflated credits and caused great losses among farmers.
 Referring to the sending of let ters to small bankers, Senator lief lin said, the Atlanta officials were attempting to "intimidate and CO., erse" the small bankers, who had uo look to the Atlanta reserve bank for credit.
 T spurn and despise and spit upon the low, sneaking and contemptible politics of slipping these letters into my state" said Senator Heflin. who declared that Senator Glass, demo- crat, Virginia, was the only demo- cratic senator who would defend the "sneaking federal reserve board and it's policies.
 Charges Loss of Billions
 Renewing his attack on the fed eral reserve board. Senator Heflin said it's policies had caused loss of billions of dollars in property values in the south" Mir. Heflin de- cIared his fight mainly was being waged against the wolves of Waii street, who have been licking their chops and bowling in glee.' He de- plored attempts to manipulate the nations money supply and control of politics. Cowardly attempt also was being made, Senator Heflin said, to destroy him politically.
 In reply to Mir. Heflin, Senator Glass said he knew nothing of circu- lation of his speech in defense of the board.
 Nobody ever thought enough of the speech of the senator from Ala bama to circulate it." said MT. Glass who objected to what he said was q rather offensive statement" Of Senator Heflin that he, Mir. Glass, had been induced to make his speech in behalf of the board" Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska, said he thought the Senate should take mo- tice" of Senator Heflin's charges against the Atlanta reserve bank of- ficials.
 "If that be true, some of these of cials ought at least be removed from office," said Senator Norris.
