FIRST CAPITAL,

OK. TOULOUSE
Texas FinanCier and Former
North Carolina Governor
Due to Aid Dawes

President Hoover today was
expected to announce the
three Democrats who will
complete the personnel of the
board of directors Of his new
$2,O00,0O0,000 Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
The Executive signed the
bill creating the corporation
last night as soon as 1t
reached the White House.
The House today passed the
resolution appropriating $500. .OOo,-
900 to start operation Of the cor
poration. The Senate, which was
not in session today, must pass 1t
also.
Two men considered as likely
appointees to this agency, which
win serve as the keystone OF
the Presidents whole depression
relief program are Jesse II:
Jones, Houston financier, and
former Gov. Angus Mclean, Of
North Carolina.
Headed by Dawes
There is much conjecture over
the identity Of the third man,
who probably will come either
from the Far West or the North
east.
Headed by Gen. Charles G.
Dawes, who resigned as AmbaSsa-
dor to Great Britain and as
chairman of the American dele
cation to the arms conference
the corporation will start tunc-
tioning as soon as initial capital
is available.
As Viewed by Hoover
AS foreseen by Mr.. Hoover, the
corporation will strengthen weak
,neSses that may develop in our
credit, banking and railway
structure" He said:
'TtS purpose is to stop della
ton in agriculture and indus
try and thus to increase en-
ulOyment by the restoration of
men to their normal jobs. 1t

Zig industries or big banks.
Such institutions are amply
able to take care of themselves.
'Tt is created for the support
Of the smaller banks and finan-
cial institutions and through
rendering their resources liquid
to give renewed support to
business, industry, and agri-
culture"
The old Department Of Com
merce Building will be utilized
to house the new credit agency.
Dawes already has discussed
organization plans at length with
Eugene Meyer, governor Of the
Federal Reserve Board, who viii
