Advisa bility of change in the

powers of the Federal Reserve Board

sidered by Chairman Mcfadden of

McFadden. also a member of the

from San Francisco early in June for
Honolulu with a view to ascer.ainine
whether the board should establish

islands.
The boards civities include
Alaska, but other territorial possess
sions are not mentioned in the law.
and while it is neither authorized
nor prohibited from establishing
banks in insular possessions, it is
believed that the board Will take no
action toward authorizing such banks

its powers.
Money Held Insanitary.
The Treasury also is looking into
the situation in Hawaii. the West
Indian possessions. and Cuba, where
mutilated and in many instances
filthy bills are in constant circufa-

This condition prevails where the

populations and creates what is re-

ed.
The program featured the thirtieth

CRIME BOARD TO
HAVE HEARING
BEFORE SENATE
LEGISLATIVE COMM. GRANTS
REQUEST OF COMMISSION
NAMED BY GOVERNOR; PROB
LEM DECLARED STATEWIDE.

Judge Oscar Hallam of Minneapo-
lis, chairman of the Minnesota Crime
Commission, this week demanded a
Senate hearing for the board in let
ter to Senator Sherman w. Child
chairman of the Senate crime pre-
vention committee. The request for
a hearing was made following the
committees rejection of many Of the
bills embodying recommendation OF
the crime commission. Senator Child
has announced the hearing would be
granted.
The letter to Senator Child was, in
part, as follows:
'The attention of the Minnesota
Crime Commission has been called to
the recent action of the Senate Com
mittee on crime prevention, rejecting
many of the bills prepared by the
Attorney General to carry out major
recommendations of the report of the
Commission. 1t is not the purpose of
the Crime Commission to engage a
lobby for any of these bills, but we
do want the Senate Committee and
the Legislature and the public to
thoroughly understand the situation,
and to have all the facts on which
these recommendation were based.
With that assured, we are content to
rest the responsibility for action with
the members of the Legislature.
"In the order appointing the Com
mission, Governor Christianson used
this language:
During the last decade a crime
wave, increasing in valume and SER
iousness, has been sweeping over the
world. Our country, far from being
free from this general revolt against
law, has, perhaps more than any 9TH
er suffered from lawlessness. Mime
sofa, in common with other states has
a serious crime problem. This prob
lem cannot be solved unless every as
pect of it is given Serious and thor
oughgoing consideration by men Of
judgment, experience, and judicial
poise. In the solution of that prob
lem, it is necessary to sift the eyi-
dence, to separate facts from conjec-
ture, to learn the truth, and then to
follow that truth relentlessly.'
"The Governor spoke the truth. The
language was no mere verbal gesture.
The Commission of twenty-five
men and women from all parts of the
State went seriously to their task,
gave their own expense, over per-
