sentative La Guardia comes from
the hospital within few days he
will take this action:
Demand that no Government
clerk shall be ''intimidated" by
unlicensed "loan sharks" who
are alleged to operate among
underpaid Government en-
plOyeS and extOrt interest rates
on small loans that run up to
100 or $50 per cent per year.
Demand that department
heads and bureau chiefs in.
form their subOrdinates that if
they get into the clutches of
these unlicensed loan brokers
they may hold their jobs, if
they refuse to pay more than
IL per cent a year interest.
Request a written statement
by executives that they will go
along with the LaGuardia plan
and protect such SubOrdinateS
from usuriOus interest rates
and the fear of losing their
jobs because they cannot pay
them.
IL Per Cent Enough
Although Representative La.
Guardia killed the small loan
bill he admits that unregulated
money-lenders are moving in and
out of Government departments
and no doubt commercial estab
lishments in the Capital, and ply.
ing their trade.
He will insist that the existing
rate of IL per cent per year on
little loans-Such as the banks
will not handles sufficient.
Advocates of the loan bill as it
was put on the House calendar
contended that an interest rate
of 8 per cent per month, or SO
per cent per year, as a maximum,
on loans of $500 or less. was nee
essary to attract capital, consid-
ering the potential risks involved
in acceptance of but partially-se-
cured, and possibly unsecured
paper.
Rejects Compromise
It is known that shortly before
Congress adjourned LaGuardia,
whose incipient filibuster had rele-
gated the loan bill to almost a
footnote place on House calendars,
was asked if he would agree to a
compromise. One suggested com,
promise was "a per cent per year
interest. LaGuardia rejected it.
Representative LaGuardia said
