TO HASTEN END
OF LAME DUCKS
Legislature Awaits Formal
Word of Congress Action
Before Ratifying.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. March 3.-Gov-
ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt seeks
for the state of New York the honor
of being first to ratify the Norris
lame duck amendment to the Con-
stitution.
According to word received here
today by Senator Robert F. Wagner,
Roosevelt vii ask the New York
legislature to take action as soon as
he is notified officially by the state
department that the amendment
has been approved by congress.
This notification is being sent
Thursday, and should arrive in New
York in time to allow action before
the legislature adjourns March IL.
A number Of other legislatures
no ware in session, and may take
action on the amendment at once.
Among them r Kentucky, Louisi-
ana, New Jersey, Mississippi, Massa-
chusetts, Virginia, South Carolina,
Illinois, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut.
1t is possible that some of these
will race with New York for the
honor Of being first to approve the
amendment.
Elimination in conference of the
house provision, requiring that rati-
1cation should take place only by
legislatures Of which one house had
been elected since submission of the
amendment, greatly will expedite
progress of the lame duck amend
ment toward a place in the Consti-
tuition.

LIQUIDATION OF
FARMERS BANK
WILL Be SLOW
Frozen Realty Comprises
Bulk of Assets, Says
Receivers Report.

Real estate forced upon it by
rejected mortgage loans comprised
the bulk of assets of the Farmers
Trust Company, when it was placed
in re%ceivership in May, 1881, Boyd
M. Ralston, receiver, disclosed in a
report today to Superior Judge Clar-
ence E. Weir.
Asserting liquidation of real as
sets necessarily must be slow be-
cause of the general condition Of
the real estate market" Ralston
said practically all the book value
assets Of the institution consist of
real estate.
Analysis of the assets in jan
uary revealed that Of a total of
S1,425, 184.07 book value assets, ST.
345,488 consists of real property,
value Of which depends on market
conditions.
Assets Appraised at S569,3OO
Unhquidated assets now in the
receivers hands have a total ap-
praised value of $685., 300, more than
100000 less than the valuation
carried on the books at the time
the doors we're closed, Ralston said.
When the receiver took charge,
he found that the bulk of it's assets
was made up Of property which
the trust company had acquired
during the course of a number of
years as a result of its having to
take back, from insurance compa-
MES, mortgage loans which had
been rejected by the insurance
companies" Ralston said.
The loans and real estate assets
are located in Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio and Missouri and are so wide
ly scattered that appointment Of
ancillary receivers probably will be
necessary, he said.
Liquidation Seen Slow
Handling and liquidating of these
properties, therefore necessarily
will require considerably more than
1lAC O4Ah4uAJ WOlh dl4u J1luG anu
conversion of assets will be slow, -
Ralston stated in the report.
Furniture and fixtures of the
company were valued on the COM
pany's books at $~150,0O0 but these
were worth less than carried on
the books" Ralston said.
He disclosed that preferred claims
totaling $407,206 have been filed
with the receiver.
Weir today said hearings will be
held March 81, %, and % on pre-
ferred claims.
Real Estate Is Frozen"
Administration of this trust from
now on, and the liquidation of re-
naming assets depend largely on
the general condition of the real
estate market, because practically
all remaining assets consist either
Of real estate or securities depend
ing or their value on real estate"
Ralston reported.
so far during the operation of
this r~eceivership, it has been prac-
tically impossible to dispose of real
estate. Under such conditions, the
process of converting these assets
into cash must necessarily be SLOW"

SPEED ON LABOR BILL

Anti Injunction Measure Is Report
ed by House Committee.
By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 3. - The
house judiciary committee late
Wednesday reported ~favorably the
Norris-La Guardia anti-injunction
bill in virtually the same form in
which it passed the senate Tuesday.
Early action in the house was fore
cast.
Evening star., 1932-02-17
ACTION POSTPONED
ON TWO D. C. BILLS
Further Information Wanted on
Requiring Bond for Con-
tractors Here.

The House District Committee con-
sidered two bills today and laid both
of them aside for future action. One
of these was the Woodrum bill, which
proposes to change the name OF the
the District of Columbia to the Acacia
Mutual Life Insurance Co. It was ex-
planned that this association had orig
inally been restricted to fraternal in
surance for its Masonic membership
and that it now desires to enter a
broader field.
Representative Horner OF West Vir-
ginia said he knew nothing Of the
merits of the proposal, but that he had
received protests from some of the
members. He was delegated by the
committee to make special study of
the measure and to report at the next
meeting.
The other bill considered was the
Mapes measures to require contractor
to whom is awarded any contract for
public buildings or other public works,
or for repairs or improvements thereon
in the District Of Columbia, to give
bond for faithful performance of the
sons furnishing labor and materials
There was considerable objection by
members of the committee on the
ground that to require 100 per cent
bond would greatly increase the cost
of all public buildings in the District.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Stevens
was unable to furnish certain detailed
information asked by some members of
the committee and further considera-
ton was postponed until such informa-
ton was available.

.ST|MSON DENIES
HAITIAN CHARGES
Says American Government
Did Not Force Island to
Accept Loan.

In letter to Chairman Smoot OF
the Senate Finance Committee. Secre-
tary of State Stimson yesterday branded
as untrue testimony given before the
committee by George NJ. Leger, repre-
sentative of the Haitian Minister, to
the effect that the American Govern
ment forced Haiti to accept a loan
from an American banking concern.
In reply to Leger's charge that the
American high commissioner, Gen.
Russell, prevented President Dartigue-
nave's election in 1922, because of diff
ferences over an American loan, the
Secretary said he had been informed
Gen. Russell had nothing to do with
the election.
Denies Control Of Borno.
Stimson added that Russell did not
later control President Borno, as Leger
claimed, by holding over his head
the fact Borno did not legally hold Office
because he was not born of a Haitian
father, as the Haitian law requires.
Leger's appearance before the Senate
committee was arranged by the Haitian
Minister to answer previous testimony
before it that commissions are generally
paid to the governments of Latin Amer
lea contracting loans in the United
States.
The Haitian Minister regarded this
as a reflection on governments which
have made loans in this country and
particularly upon Haiti.
Stimson's letter said Leger's testimony
failed to show he was concerned with
this phase of the matter.
Says Credit Was Exhausted.
The Secretary said Leger did not 20
into commissions other than to say
President Mitchell Of the National City
Bank of New York testified of the profit
made by his bank.
Secretary Stimson categorically denied
Leger's statement before the committee
that Haiti was not in default on any
loans when the reorganization Of its
finances took place in 1915. He wrote
that Haiti's credit had been exhausted
both at home and abroad when the
American administration took over.
Stimson also said Leger's statement
that continual state of martial law
had existed in Haiti" since American
occupation, was not q fact.
