Norman's job is walking but not
lust walking
He follows the pipe lines or the
Rio Grande Valley Gas company
in the Valley and listens for leaks.
And when 1t rains like it has been
for the past few days 1t is really
hard work.
The walking Is harder but IL is
easier TO hear the leaks because
gas escaping In wet earth Is more
audible due 10 the formation OF
bubbles. The line crosses the ar
royo Colorado but the water Is too
deep TO wade and Norman must
walk around. A bridge paralleling
the crossing may be built. Few
resacas are crossed by the line but
where the pipe does cross one or
the bodies or water leaks T easily
discovered because OF bubbles rising
TO the surface.
Part of the pipe line is taken
care Of by q man on horseback,

ing a virtual wilderness. II takes
the man on horseback two days 10

In addition to the main line

DR.. LUTHER TAKES
BANKS PROPOSALS
Directors Vote to Encourage
Loans, and Favor Credit
Rediscount.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BASEL, Switzerland, July 14.-Dr.
Hans Luther, president of the Reichs-
bank, left by airplane for Berlin today
with the proposals of the Bank for
International Settlements for restoring
the economic stability of his country.
The directors of the bank unani-
mously agreed TO two measures of as
sistance last night after listening to
DR.. Luther's stirring appeal. They
were: Encouragement of other govern
ments and their markets to respond to
Germany's search for long-term loans
and willingness to renew for three
months its share of the rediscount
by the American Federal Reserve sys-
tenn. the Bank of France. the Bank
of England and the World Bank.
Two Believed Favorable.
It Is underssood .Sat the Federal Re-
serve Bank and the Hank of France
already are in accord with this renewal,
while Montagu Norman. head of the
Bank of England, must talk the matter
over with his directors before commit
ting himself. The credit expires Thurs
day.
DR.. Luther was believed not to be
ers' relief measures but he probably
regarded them as better than nothing
and Offering some hope for rebuilding
credit and confidence in the reichs-
mark.
The form and extent of the assist
ance are viewed in informed circles as
disappointing to Germany. But 1t was
felt by a number of directors that Ger
many expected entirely too much di-
aiA ~ he kNna VI vT.ac
described as being that Germany must
be helped to help herself. The position
was taken that 1t is not the function
Of the central banks to carry the econ
orny of a nation on their shoulders
1t was predicted in authoritative
quarters that a bank holiday or mora
forum of two or three weeks would like
~ be declared in the Reich in order to
permit the feeling of panic to pass and
calm to be regained.
Makes Press Speech.
DR.. Luther made an impromptu
speech to the press in the lobby of the
bank at the end of the conference. The
portly German began speaking jovially.
and warmed to his task as he discoursed
on the dangers to the world in the Ger
man situation. His eyes blaZed and his
teeth bit off words as he said:
The greatest mistake. Of modern
times is the failure to understand that
the German crisis is world problem
and affects humanity as a whole. Ger
many is getting poorer every day. One
of the most important economic factors
in the world is getting more helpless
daily.
In the present crisis the world can
not afford to lose Germany as buyer
of raw materials and manufactured
goods. Germany'S plight is humanitys
Germany. Foreign countries alone can
save Germany at the present iuncture.
They must do so in their own well I'M

irrelevant considerations"

LONDON. July 14.-Germarl marks
we're refused by England's banks today
in payment of bills and in other trans
actions.
One house which carries a large
number OF German accounts said the
refusal was not because of the pre-
carious situation in Germany, but
rather because German banks are
closed by government order and ex-
change operations are impossible.
At another bank 1t was said although
that house had not been confronted
with the necessity for refusing marks,
it would have had to do so If marks
had been presented, and will have to
do so tomorrow
This, it was said, is in line with a
policy which is understood to have been
adopted throughout Great Britain and
in most Of Europe. Bank officials
were unable to say how long this stu
alton would continue, but they were
inclined to regard it as indefinite.

BERLIN, July 14.-Germany's average
citizen apparently was more concerned
yesterday with how to get enough ready
cash to carry on until the banks re-
opened than about the ultimate fate
of his bank account.
The shortage of cash was felt acutely
by everybody, especially small business
men who were faced with the necessity
of paying employees and meeting run
ming expenses.
There was little buying in big Leip-
Tiger Strasse department stores. Clerks
were sitting around waiting for custo-
mers. This subnormal buying, however,
was regarded by department store ON
cials as a sign that folks were keeping
cool and was taken to indicate the
panicky feeling which led to bank runs

A usual accompaniment to bank runs
is a run on department stores, especial

NEW YORK, July 14.-While formal
announcement was withheld, it was ru-

500, OO0, 900 German credit which falls
due Thursday has been virtually de-

1t was said at the New York Federal

however that informal conversations
were in progress, and some announce
ment would probably be issued before
the end of the day.
Wall Street has generally taken it for

nights announcement from Ba:el that
the World Bank had decided 70 renew
its participation was expected 10 be fol-
