HOME LOAN BANK

Location of Areas Will Be
Available for Announce
ment Late Today.

The Home Loan Benk Board expects
TO have available for publication late
today the location Of the Il districts
about the country in which regional
banks designed to aid small home own
ers will be established.
Franklin w. Fort, chairman Of the
board, indicated this morning most of
the difficulty as to what each area
will embrance has been cleared up. He
said the board was in session until
1870 o'clock last night.
Will Canfer With Mills.
The chairman said he would discuss
later with Secretary Of the Treasury
Mills the matter of capitaliZatlonS Of
banks to be set up The bill lXes the
minimum capital for each bank at
s5,O00,000.
Mr.. Fort declined to indicate to news
paper men the possible location OF banks
within the separate districts, asserting
to do SO would BE- to invite pressure
from more delegations, which he said
has deluged the board since the matter
has been under consideration.
Thanks to the numerous delegations
which visited the board yesterday, SAID
MIR. Fort. Il had about seven minutes
for lunch and only little longer for
dinner"
So pressed was he f~r time yester-
day. he said that he had to take one
of the delegations to lunch with him.
I'VE are not paying any attention to
the question of bank LEGATIONS for the
moment" Mr.. Fort said. Selection OF
cities constitutes a very miner problem
comp3red with the basic queStions that
have to be solved in advance.
Many Cities May Drop Claims.
''It may be that when we have deter
mined the district lines a goodly number
of cities now seeking bank locations
will be sut -maticauy eliminated. At
least, that is hope We have.
The city in each di-trict that viii
be designated as the headquarters
necessarily will have to meet the needs
of that area from the standpoint Of
transportation and convenience. 1t has
to be the focal point that will serve the
districts requirements to the best pur-
pose Of the district.
so it is obvious that city right on
district boundary line and IN other
extreme portions of the district Will be
out of the picture"

having used a gun which he discarded
when the police broke up the fight.
The government document was issued
to meet q storm of protest that followed
the death sentences, including scath-
ing denuncistion of Won Papen by
Hitler himself.
There was little doubt that the mani
festo was aimed at Hitler, who had de-
clared his NaZis would be able to finish
the "guillotine government" and pledged
himself to do all possible to free the
five doomed men
Issued jointly by the Reich and Prus-
sian governments, the document stress
ed that the severest penalties for po-
litical violence would be invoked
against every lawbreaker, regardless OF
person or party"
Acts of violence" the manifesto
said, which seriously prejudiced the
authority of the Reich, necessitated
President Won Hindenburgs emergency
decree Of August 8 providing severest
penalties for political violence.
The terms of that decree must be
imposed the same moment they were
put into effect against every lawbreak-
er, regardless of person or party. The
Relch'S government VIII use all lCS
power to make the law respected by
every one and will not. allow any one
to revolt against it,
Emphasizing that the government
was not willing to yield to political
pressure in considering the eases Of the
five men. the manifesto ended:
Violent charges against verdicts
should be addressed to the originators
of bloody occurrences and not to the
government, which in the interest Of
all, had to resort to sharp measures.
The government will nip in the bud
all attempts to tamper with the prin-
ciples Of the constitutional State and
to incite political passions"
Before this official answer to Nazi
threats Of reurisals against the Beuthen
verdict, the government had indicated
that it would not permit any coercion
or political pressure for the granting of
pardons.
Although Beuthen. where the five
men were tried. was the center of
feverish excitement all through yester-
day, there was no violence. The gov
ernment probably will not act for sew
eral days.
