U. 5. JOBLESS
AID MACHINE
SET IN MOTION
Federal Reserve Heads Are
Against Half Billion U. S.
Bond Issue.
BRAND PLAN AS FUTILE
Colonel Woods, Presidents
Choice, GrappIes With
Work Problem.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Federal
reserve board officials rejected to-
day proposals that they authorize
purchase of half billion dollars
in government bonds to aid business
recovery.
In informal comment On the cur
rent credit situation, prominent
board official said he could see little
need for any such action by the
reserve system. He also held that
other recent schemes suggested by
private business men had little
merit.
Woods Gets to Work
Measurable plans for organizing
federal machinery for h%ndling the
problem of 100000 or more unem-
ployed men and women were dis
cussed today by President Hoover
with Colonel Arthur Woods, director
of federal relief, and others placed
in charge of the work.
It was decided at a White House
conference attended by Woods
Chairman Lamont of the cabinet
unemployment council, Secretary Of
War Hurley and Undersecretary of
Treasury Ogden Mills, to begin i'm
mediately with organization of fed
eral activity.
Woods indicated he would model
hi
he set up in 1921 with the co-opera-
ton of President Hoover, then sec
rotary Of commerce in President
Harding'S cabinet. Woods, however,
said he was not prepared to give
details of how the organization
would operate.
Waiting on Other Fellow
'There is no shortage of money;
in fact, we have an abundance of
funds at unusually low rates, and
therefore such a plan would
seem an unnecessary STEP" the
federal reserve official said. what
is lacking is the disposition to use
the money now available. Redis-
count rates are at the lowest point
in the history of the reserve system.
Instead of buying now when
prices are at rock bottom, every
body is waiting to see what the
other fellow is doing. All the fac
tors Of business recovery are here,
but bad psychology is holding it
back. In times of boom, the public
is overconfdent and in poor times
it is over depressed"

VISION c. 0. P.
ROUT IN STATE
Optimism Holds Sway as
Executive Committee
Goes Into Farley.
EXPECT HUGE MAJORITY
Election of Nine Congress-
men Is Held Certain by
Party Leaders.

Predictions of a Democratic state
victory with a majority ranging
from $4,000 to 100000 votes and
election of at least nine congress-
men were made by members of the
state executive committee, meeting
here today to discuss plans for the
final week of the campaign.
A definite trend toward the Dem
ocratic ticket in industrial centers
was reported and Frederick Van
Mugs, committee chairman, declared
Republicans are finding out that
their pleas to support Hoover" are
not meeting with much success with
labor.
Van Mugs expressed himself
as confident that they would poll
heavy majorities in Evansville,
Terre Haute. indianapolis, South
Bend, and Fl. Wayne, while the
Lake county Republican lead would
be reduced from the 1850 of 1928
to about 5000.
Leaders Arc Optimistic
Claims that the First, Second,
Third Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth,
Eleventh and Thirteenth districts are
assuredly Democratic, while the
Democrats have excellent chances
to win the Sixth, Eighth, Tenth and
Twelfth were made.
A general aura of optimism per-
meated the conference as one en-
couraging report after another was
received.
The committeeman spoke of record
breaking crowds in each of the dis
tricts and a report was made re-
garding the general dissatisfaction
existing in the rural sections with
the federal farm policy.
Republican efforts to spread the
gospel that the depression suffered
in this country is a part Of world
wide conditions are not carrying
great weight, it was pointed out.
Confident of Marion

Marion county was expressed. There
was a general feeling the county
ticket is safely over and it was de-
clared that the landslide in the
mayoralty election has pointed the
way for a similar result Nov. 4.
Desperate attempts of the Re-
publican organization to hold even
SO per cent of the Negro vote of the
state by bringing Representative
Oscar Depriest, Negro, Chicago, and
Representative Lee Dyer, Missouri,
author of the anti-lynching law,
have not been met with the desired
results, Democratic leaders asserted.
They say it safely can be predict
ed that between 60 and IS per cent
of the Negro vote of Marion county
will be Democratic this year.

TO WIND UP AFFAIRS OF
 FIRST NATIONAL BANK
Red Cross Roll
 Call Is Now On
Members of Committee Making House to House Canvas for 500 Memberships. Putnam's Quota

Chairman Arthur Hughes of the Red Cross Roll Call drive says that his workers are all out making a house to house canvas. lt is hoped that the quota of SOC members may be enrolled at an early date.
 It is only once a year that funds are thus solicited and the member ship is but dollar. While it is re- eognlzed that perhaps dollar seems more in some homes just now than in more prosperous years ii is felt that a small sacrifice should be made that those less fortunate may have the proper care. It is emphasized time and again that one hall of the money raised by the drive remains in Putnam to be used in local Red Cross work.
 Due to the fact that worthy people are out of work the demands at this time are more than normal While there was generous response to the appeal for clothing, more can be used. The nurse is busy making calls and money is needed to carry on this valuable and imperative work. The Roll Call will furnish part of it.

 By six o'clock there were thirty eight hunters bedded down in the Eantlands and Westlands barns and a view of the stable yard reminded one of an English sporting print, with busy grooms, sportsmen afriv- ing to enquire as to the location of a favorite horse or to discuss the next days run and the probabilities of good hunting weather in ths morning.
 Hounds met on Saturday after noon at 2.30 P.

 After a check of some five min utes to breathe the horses, hounds and riders crossed the Putnam Pom fret state road where hounds were laid on the line again and the run resumed.

Treasury Dept. Says Reason able" Time or at Least With
 in Six Months
Ts Realize on Every Possible Asset
 For Creditors

Affairs at the present indicate that the remaining securities will be sold and the trust of the First National Bank of Putnam definitely closed out within q reasonable period, 1t is said at the division of defunct banks in the office of the comptroller of the treasury department at Washington.
 When asked 10 define reasonable" period. officials handling the matter declared that at the latest the trust should be closed within the next six months. In all probability, however. the trust will be closed before the termination of such period, they in timated.
 Officials of the division point out that it is their policy to derive from the trust assets all possible benefits in order 10 make available as large a final dividend as may be paid. They state that within the trust of the National Bank of Putnam two or three securities are still contained from which substantial funds may be real ized through dividends, redemption, etc They will not close out the trust. therefore. until all return possible has been realized from these few re- maining valuable assets.
 On PsbIie Sals
 As soon as these assets have been converted into cash, what remains of the trust will be placed on public sale by Receiver Coffin. This sale, according to the treasury department, should be ordered and made within the reasonable period of six months.
 A final dividend will be paid follow ing the closing out of the trust but the comptroller's office as yet cannot say to what per cent the dividend will amount. The funds realized from the remaining valuable assets of the bank and the amount collected from the sale of the trust will be combined with the money which has accumulated since the payment of the last dividend. and this total will he used to pay the tinai dividend and to settle the cost of the liquidation process. The divi- dend may be in excess of five per cent or may not amount fo that much. 1t is said
 It Is stated at the treasury depart ment that Receiver Coffin recently moved his headquarters from Putnam because he had been assigned another receivership and that under this ar engagement the affairs of the Putnam bank could be wound up with less ex- pense to the individuals who will re- ceIve final dividends from the trust after it has been finally closed out
