ROMANCE COSTS
BANK 100000

CHICAGO, Feb. IS G.N.SO--
The four-year bank romance be-
tween Elmer D. Langguth. presi-
dent. and his pretty 25-year-old
cashier. Miss Laverne Lindgrell,
today was blamed for the sudden
collapse of the Peoples State
Bank, of haywood, following the
girls surrender to authorities
last night.
The girls admissions to the
State attorneys office revealed a
story of financial juggling of the
banks funds and clandestine
romance in which Langguth
showered his pretty cashier with
luxuries. according to authorities.
Investigation of the banks rec
ords shows that at least 100000
had been taken through juggling
of accounts. Langguth'5 family
had been highly respected IN the
suburban community for years
and no suspicion arose until the
bank closed it's doors Saturday.
Ulld1 Ae1l1Ss-
guth's total spending during the
alleged romance amounts to
100000.
The luxuries afforded the girl
according to Pat Roche, State
attorneys investigator, included
a $4,000 residence for the girl
and her mother, two automobiles
for her and the maintenance %
two richly furnished suburban
apartments under fictitious names.
Two months after he opened
the bank Langguth met Miss
Lindgren. she said. and invited
her to take a stenographlc posi-
ton at the bank. Thereafter her
rise from the rather Lowry post
to that of cashier was meteoric
investigation disclosed, she and
the bank president shared i desk
in common, it was revealed.
Both Langguth and the girl
were released under heavy bond.

Economic policies of the United
States Supreme Court having
been thoroughly aired, the Sen
ate settled down today to enact
the Administrations long pending
tariff bill by March /.
This was the goal of both Re
publican and Democratic leaders.
The program, once the tariff is
passed, includes action on Muscle
Shoals legislation, passage of the
bill transferring the Prohibition
Bureau to the Department of
Justice. and enactment of the
Couzens communication bill, plac.
ing all radio. telephone, telegraph
and cable service under one Fed
eral commission.
The program was subject to
change without notice" if the
wet and dry war breaks out in
the Senate before it's appointed
time.
There will be but one break in
the tariff debate if AdIninistra-
ton leaders have their way. This
will come next Tuesday when &C
ton is taken on confirmation of
Hugh M. Tate. of Knoxville,
Tenn. as an Interstate Commerce
Commissioner. Senator Black
Cd of Alabama will lead the
fight against Tate, charging he
does not represent the South.
His confirmation, however, is
conceded.
This program was presented by
Senator Watson (RD of Indiana,
the majority leader. He was
particularly anxious to pass the
tariff by March /.
There has been no evidence
of filibuster and all groups
have indicated a desire to get
the tariff passed and sent to
conference" Watson explained.
Watson said he expected fights
on the sugar. cement and brick
schedules, but that the Senate
will vote rather than debate the
subject"

SUBURBS SPEED
PERMITS FOR
BUILDINGS

SILVER SPRING, Md, Feb. IS.
A new method designed to elm
mate red tape and expedite the
granting of building permits for
the metropolitan district of Mary
land will be inaugurated within
a week, according to Martin M.
Iverson, building inspector for
the northern section Of the dis.
trict.
At present applications for
building permits in the metropoli-
tan district-embracing the lower
end of Montgomery county and
a large portion Of Prince Georges
county adjacent to the District
of Columbia-are made either to
IverSon, at the county building
here, or J. Fred Imirie, building
inspector for the western portion
Of the District, at Bethesda.
Now Takes Weeks
The application then is for
warded to the clerk to the county
commissioners at Rockville, where
information needed for taxing
purposes is taken down. The per-
NIT then is granted and for
warded to the office at which
the application was filed. This
procedure usually requires several
weeks.
Under the new system the ap-
plication will be made as usual
at either Silver Spring or Beth
esda, but the permit-in the case
of dwellings or nonbusiness struc-
tures-will be issued Immediately
at those offices. Permit applica-
tions for business structures must
be approved by the county Zon-
ing commission before conStruc-
ton can start.
The new system, which was de-
Veloped by Iverson and approved
by the county commissioners, is
expected to result in a consider
able saving of time and con-
fusion to builders. The applica-
ton forms which will be used
under the new system are pat
termed after those in use in the
District of Columbia. Iverson said.
Code Copies Available
1verson also called the atten-
ton of builders. particularly
those in the District of Columbia
contemplating construction work
in the metropolitan district of
Maryland, that the Montgomery
county building code must be
complied with. Copies of this
code, which is similar to the Dis
trict of Columbia code, are OBJ
tainable at the county buildings
at Bethesda and Silver Spring,
IVerson said.
