where banks in good condition had
failed because of runs started by
malicious rumors. He said that
the law was now in effect in Sc
states and it was up to this legis-
lature to provide means of protect

asmuch as banks were semi-public
organizations, he declared, the law
would protect the deposits of per-

was not distinctly legislation for
the benefit of the banks. He stat

FAIR
DOOMED

The Rockville Fair, which was
an annual affair in Montgomery
county for more than Is years,
seems relegated to the long fine Of
pleasant memories, with the de-
cision of committees from the
Rockville Chamber of Commerce
and the Rockville Parent-T Teacher
Association to recommend to their
bodies that the ground be pur-
chased for the use Of a school
site.
At a meeting held last night
representatives from these organi-
cations agreed that this would be
an ideal location for a new school
and would have ample space for
an athletic field.
The fair ended it's last season
heavily in debt and decided to
abandon its annual meeting un-
less it could have legalized pari'
mutuel betting. Many county Or
ganizations have objected to bet
ting in Montgomery county, but
the American Legion, however,
came out in favor Of it.

Following closely in the
wake of the Old Colonial Tea
House murder at Bladensburg
and conviction of James La
Fontaine in Federal court in
Baltimore, with the subsequent
closing of Jimmie's place on
the Bladensburg Road near
District Line, a demand for a
thorough police investigation
of vice conditions in Prince
Georges county, was made
yesterday by the Rudicille
Women's Christian Temper
ance Union of Hyattsville.
In a letter to the Prince Georges
board of county commissioners,
the union cited the testimony OF
LaFontaine when he pleaded
guilty to income tax fraud in
Baltimore.
One passage Of the letter said:
sowing to the testimony
given by Mr.. LaFOntaine at his
trial in Baltimore, we feel that
the county commissioners have
just cause to refuse to issue a
license for the athletic club
operated by Mr.. LaFOntaine at
the District Line"
The letter further commended
the efficient manner in which the
Old Colonial Tea House murder
had been investigated.
