OF late the attention Of bankers in
New York and also of three institu-
tions here has been drawn to a class
of loans that banks are not permitted
to make. offering better chances for
returns than straight interest rates.
The result has been the formation
of separate investment companies
with moderate to large capital and
the stock either owned direct by the
shareholders of the bank or held in
trust for their account, forming the
side corporation. 1t is understood
that these corporations are function.

WATSON WOULD
GUST HOOVER
RADIO CAR
Indiana Senator Plans to
Give Power to Interstate
Commerce Board.
Times IVashindtQn Bureau.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Sec-
rotary of Commerce Hoover may be
dethroned as the American radio
car if Senator James L. Watson of
Indiana succeeds with a plan he is
discussing with Senators.
Watson thinks controlsof the radio
industry should be removed from the
Department of Commerce, where it
has lodged since 1912. and placed
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, which has jurisdiction over
all interstate communications other
than radio and Aeronautics.
Senator C. c. Dill of Washington,
author of the radio bill on which
Watson's committee has just con-
cluded exhaustive hearings, does not
think so. Dill is prepared to go to
bat with Watson on this issue. He
believes a poll Of all persons inter-
ested in radio would show a prefer
ence for the existing arrangement.
Watson's Idea
"The radio is the greatest Of all
modern agencies of civilization, we
believe" says Senator Watson
sneaking for members of his COM
mittee. 1.-THE Government must con-
troll the situation but the question
is where? Radio is a medium of in
Interstate communications, and
Wherefore properly should be lodged
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
"There is no objection on the part
of the committee to Mr.. Hoover
personally. We think he is man
of magnificent ability, but no one
man should have so much power.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is about to be enlarged and 1t
can handle the increased duties
easily
To this Senator Dill, who probably
has given more study to radio than
any man in the Senate, replies:
