LETPsrc. Oct. 4--Facing the muzzle
OF the automatic pistol with which DR..
Walter Rathenau was slain last June,
Ernest Werner Techow. alleged driver
OF the murder car. stammered a weak
denial to-day OF his part In the plot and
then wound himself up in tangled mass
OF contradictory statements. He had
been defiant until the court ordered the
weapon brought into the room.
The gun, with magazine. was placed
on table, and the audience that
crowded the court room rose to their
feet. Techow from that moment with
cred and forgot the instructions of his
attorneys. He asserted he knew Moth
ing of DR.. Rathenau's policies other than
what he had CLEANED from the mon
archistic talk of high school students.

SHOWS ANOTHER SIDE
OF BRANCH BANKING
CaldweH Says No Other Field
Is So Restricted.

The question of branch banking pre-
sents unique problem, according to
George B. Caldwell, chairman of the
board OF the Associated Bankers
Corporation. 35 Wall street. An inter-
esting economic side to this question
has been overlooked by the opponents of
branch banking, Mr.. Caldwell said yes
terday. pointing out that in no field or
American commercial life are those en-
gagged in any business undertaking re-
stricted by legal limitations In meeting
the requirements of competition except
in banking.
Despite the numerous complaints re-
garding branch banking, our banking
operations are continued under system
which invites. In his opinion. the ulti-
mate opening of branch banks. Mr..
Caldwell believes that when the time
comes that larger institutions in leading
centers control the principal accounts in
Interior cities il will be unlikely that
local manufacturers will be content to
transact their important banking by
mail.
