BILLION DOLLAR
FUND WOULD BE-
APPROPRIATED
This Would Strengthen
Banking Foundations,
House Committee Be-
Hepes.

Creation of $1,oOo,O 100000 in re-
sources to guarantee bank deposits has
been Endorsed by the house banking
committee.
Unanimously it approved a bill by
Chairman Steagall to establish a huge
guarantee pool, after first providing
for state bank participation.
The guarantee fund, to be admin
istered by a special government board
empowered to liquidate closed banks,
would include a $500,O00,000 loan
limit from the Reconstruction Finance
corporation.
The remainder of the fund would
be obtained by taking $15o,ooo,ooo
from the surplus of federal reserve
banks; all the franchise tax paid into
the treasury by reserve banks, esti-
mated at $167, o0o,o 900; 0o,oo0,o 900
in assessment on federal reserve mem
bers banks; double assessments on state
banks desiring participation, estimated
to bring in $1o0o,o 900, 700, and au-
thority for a 100000 o annual as
sessment on participating banks.
The bill also fixes $4,000 capital
and paid in surplus of 10 per cent as
the minimum requirement for obtain
ing national bank charters and pro-
vides that stockholders of national
banks hereafter organized shall be re-
lieved of double liability.
Interest paid by member banks of
the federal reserve system on deposits
would be limited to not over 4 per
cent. Steagall explained this would
prevent weak banks from using high
rates to attract funds.

The Automobile Show.

Washingtonian this year are flocking
to the annual Automobile Show in
larger numbers than ever before. Well
Trey might. At no time in the history
of the motor car industry have such
striking values been offered, and the
volume of attendance and buying dem
onstrates that motorists are aware Of
the fact. Millicns of dollars have been
spent by motor car manufacturers to
produce better and finer product, yet
in many cases the prices are down in
stead Of up. Now is indisputably the
time TO buy. and in buying now the
motorist does two things. He gives
himself the pleasure of car ownership
and contributes his bit to return to
business normally.
Probably few persons realize the full
scope and magnitude Of the automobile
industry and what it means to general
economic conditions. One wage Garner
out Of every ten in the United States
receives his dollars from the automo-
bile. The industry uses eiehty-two per
cent Of all rubber, sixty-eiEht per cent
Of all plate glass, fifty-three per cent
Of all malleable iron, thirty per cent Of
all nickel, eighteen per cent Of all hard
wood lumber, seventeen per cent OF oil

Our Detective Bureau may discount
