in Democratic Plan.

Representatives in congress whose
careers will be affected by congress
sional teapportionment of Indiana
have indicated in lettei: to Senator
Anderson Ketchum Dem, Bar
tholomew, Decatur, Franklin and
Union) how they think the state
should be divided.
Ketchum is expected to incorpo-
rate the plan in a bill and present
it in the senate within few days.
Although drafted by the Demo-
cratic representatives the plan, if
carried out, would insure reelection
of Republican Representatives Will
r. Wood, Fred Purnell and David
Hogg; all who we're reelected in
November. Therefore, according to
Ketchum, the plan has received i'm
dorsement of the G. o. P. repre-
SentatiVeS.
Marion county would not be di-
vided under the set-up and would
remain as one district although
with more than 100000 population.
Opponents of the division of the
county are supporters of Louis Lud-
low, Seventh district representative,
who it is reported, is strongly averse
to any split.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Emerg-

pensions, the nations banking

general banking system in a condi-
ton of greatly increased liquidity.' -

city banks was said to have elimi-
mated much weakness from the
