of the public which has savings In
Italy. The host of Italians resident in
the United States who have savings
in Italy can now withdraw them, If
they so choose, and bring them to this
country. Bankers here have been ex-
pecting the step. It is pointed out
that the Mussolini government has
proceeded with a conservative wisdom
in its gradual restoration of the status
quo ante bellum so far as the restric-
ton of exchange operations and the
sterilization of the Ira is concerned"
Robert v. Fleming, president Of the
Riggs National Bank, considers this
move of wide Importance to Washing
ton and the whole country. In COM
menting on 1t today he said that the
action is of much more far-reaching
importance than might at flrSt appear
on the surface.
The italian Ambassador is naturally
highly gratified over the lifting of the

BOOM WINDERS
FOR DRY POST
Mcbride Urged to Submit
Name for Approval.

F. Scott Mcbride, national SUI
perintendent Of the Anti-Saloon
League, will be urged to submit the
name of the Rev. C. H. Winders as
Indiana superintendent some time
next month, it was reported today.
Winders, who has been acting su-
perintendent in Indiana since the
death of the Rev. E. S. Shumaker,
is said to have won approval for the
permanent post at the headquarters
committee meeting Tuesday.
Mcbride must submit the nomi-
nation, however, under the rules.
He nominated Sam McNaugh, SUI
perintendent of the Iowa league, but
Mcknight refused to accept al
though approved here.
Winders' regime has been a
stormy one thus far, with various
factions in revolt. So far he has
scored complete victory over his
enemies.
Unlike Dr. Shumaker, who was
cordial and kindly under the great
est stress, Winders is a fighter, and
refuses to talk to newspaper men
who will not accept his dictums IN
news stories written concerning the
league.

LABOR LEADER
OPPOSES BAND
Police, Firemen'S Unit Held
Drawback to Union.

Continuation of the present police
and firemen's band, a civic organi-
zaion for more than six years, was
opposed today by John E. Smith,
Central Labor Union organizer.
Speaking before the board of
safety, Smith declared the police
and f1remen's band has robbed
many union musicians of engage
ments." The band plays only on
civic occasions and without receiv-
ing pay.
Smith declared about 90 per cent
Of the city's musicians are "unem-
ployed as far as their chosen pro-
fession is concerned"
"Of course we don't want to an
tagonize any one with the band.
It's activities should be destricted
to civic affairs" Charles R. Myers,
board president, advised Smith.
Fire Chief Harry Voshe1 recon-
mended continuation of the band as
a civic enterprise. The board took
the matter under advisement.

ASK APPRAISAL BODY
Appointment of Permanent
Board Is Asked.

Appointment of a general ap-
praisal board by Marion circuit
court to appraise all city property
to be sold will be asked by Smiley
N. Chambers, assistant city attor-
ney.
The statue provides that three
appraisers shall be named by the
court to appraise all property which
the city desires to sell, making the
cost very high in the case of minor
equipment and property.
A general appraisal board to serve
the entire year would save the city
considerable money, it was pointed
out. Appraisers fees in some cases
have been more than the price re-
ceived for the old equipment.
