APPOINT
! BANKS To ACT
AS RECEIVER
BY HARRY GUSACK
Financial Editor

An amendment to the national
bankruptcy act which would limit
receivership appointments by courts
to national banks, instead Of in
dividuals, is contained in a bill in
troduced In the House yesterday by
Congressman Celler OF New York.
The bill was referred to the House
Judiciary Committee.
In introducing the measure Celler
issued the following statement:
- There is no doubt that politics
Ipiay an important part in bank
guptcy receiverships. Receivers are
sgenerally appointed to pay off po-
litical debts. There is nothing cor.
supt about 1t. The judges, am
silre, would gladly be relieved Of
appointing such individuals. They
are the victims Of a vicious system.
rhe Steinhardt scandal in New York
has brought the matter 70 head.
Judges Bondy and Winslow APP
Fointed him scores Of times. Stein
Hardf was a defeated candidate for
Congress on the Republican ticket.
The twelfth canon of judicial
ethics of the American Bar Assoc
citation provides that no judge
should permit his appointments to
he controlled by others than him
self. l fear that most OF our
United States district judges
throughout the country have dis.
regarded this rule OF ethics. Also
many have appointed to lucrative
receiverships their former partners
and associates. This is undue IA
yoritism; which is also q judicial
sin.
Our Federal judges are honest
and hard working. They should
not be forced into system of
political bankruptcy receiverships.
have accordingly introduced a
bill whcih provides that wherever
III the bankruptcy law the word
receiver" is used same shall mean
any national bank within the geo.
graphical confines of the United
States district court where the
petition In bankruptcy was filed.
Al national bank offers security
and perpetual tenure. Receivers
Ike Steinhart can abscond. A ma
tional bank cannot Receivers like
Steinhart offer little or no guar
antee of honest administration.
The capital, surplus, and re-
sources of a national bank offer
the greatest security for honest
and faithful administration of the.
bankruptcy estate. Many Euro
peaTi countries use banks exclu-
siVeIy as receivers.

Personally, I am strongly in
favor Of setting-up exercises,
especially for women whose work
IL sedentary. If you sit long
hours at a desk each day, you
need all-around, active exercises,
both as a natural, normal outlet
for your energy and as means
OF limbering and supplying your
muscles.
The woman who. devotes 10.
minutes to gymnastics morning
and evening grows to love her
daily exerclses-they are really
fun-and, moreover, il she stops
them for a while, she is likely to
look and feel a bit stiff and less
radiantly fit than when she is
doing her daily dozen with energy,
enthusiasm. and enjoyment.
BY the way, those three E's-
energy, enthusiasm, enjoyment
will make your daily walk also
a wonderful beauty-builder. For
the doctor is right in his estimate
of walking as a tremendous aid
to health, beauty, and charm.
AS famous dancer as Pavlowa
recommends walking as an even
better all-around exercise for
grace and symmetry than dancing.
OF course, there is walking and

your neck and spine erect. your
head up, the exercise will be of
little benefit to you. because your
lungs will be contracted so that

justice of it.
There are means everywhere to
help us make children consciously
do what is right. We don't need
threats of a whipping or isolation
so much as we need the use of in
telligence and tact by the mothers
everywhere. Use the logical idea
for the correction of a misdeed.
Children are just, and If talked to
fairly and quietly will seldom fail
to respond. The trouble is that a

Twenty minutes after breakfast
