BANKING MEASURE
HELD DANGEROUS
President of Investment AS
ISOLATION Testifies Against
Glass Reform Bill.

BY the Associated Press.
The Glass banking reform bill was
called dangerous to national bankers
by Allan M Pope, president of the In
vestment Bankers Association of Amer
lea, at hearings today before the Senate
Banking Committee.
Pope said he had consulted with sew
eral hundred investment bankers, and
without exception they are opposed to
the legislation on the ground we now
are engaged in an attempt to stem the
tide of defation."
He said sections of the measure were
discriminatory against national banks,
and predicted this would force the banks
institutions.
Glass Cites Reserve Board.
Senator Gless. Democrat, Virginia,
observed that I'VE were confronted by
the same threat when the Federal Re-
serve Board was enacted"
Pope said the definition describing
banking affiliate corporations was too
broad The bill seeks to divorce aflli-
ates from the banks.
Under the legislation, Pope said the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation would be
termed an affiliate because. he under
stood, the corporation recently had
taken over a banking institution "to
protect its stockholders" He argued IT
was impracticable to have banking ex-
aminers examine a concern as large as
Bethlehem Steel.
Pope said the provision increasing the
interest rate on 15-day loans to mem
Der banks by Federal Reserve banks
was extremely deflationary and dam
gerous." He argued 1t would i'm
mediately depreciate Government bonds
as well as all securities.
There is nothing in this bill which
debates anything right now" interposed
Senator Glass. except possibly stock
gamblers"
Sees Curb on Speculation.
Pope said the New York Clearing
House regulations now put a curb on
speculation.
But those regulations may be cut
out tomorrow" suggested Glass. The
dehation already has occurred and this
bill doesn't debate anything"
Pope protested against the provision
restricting investments in securities as
highly defiationary" He said 1t
would require the sale Of several bill
lions of dollars Of securities immedi-
ately'' by national banks. of course
that would be disastrous" he added.
Senator Couzens. Republican, Of
Michigan, asked If he could Ak a date
when that provision should go into ef-
feet. Pope was inclined to favor sug-
gestion by Couzens to leave the time
for operation Of the provision up TO the
Federal Reserve Board.

GERMAN PAYMENTS
SPUR CONFIDENCE
1882 Agreement Being Kept
FaithfuIIy-U. S. Bankers
Well Pleased.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 23.-Although
tie question Of Germanys ability to
continue paying off her private debts
has occasioned some uneasiness in
financial quarters from time to time
the record of German payments under
the 1882 standstill agreement has been
satisfactory to date
So far this year Germany has not
only met all interest payments prompt
ly, but also has succeeded in making
small payments on principal. Wall
Street bankers point out.
L. S. Bankers Satisfied.
Representatives of the American
banking group, involving about 100 in
stitutions throughout the country, say
this performance has been made pos
sible only through considerable sacri-
flee on the part OF German debtors.
Trey say that they are satisfied with
the record.
The new standstill agreement now
has become operative. The mechanism
provides for the repayment Of an orig
inal total Of 81 1909 ,00o,00 of short
term credits extended to German banks
and corporations by the outside world
AS of December 81, this total had been
reduced to $l,051 900, 900.
New banking forms and agreements
changed to comply with the 1882 stand
still agreement which went into effecl
March /, have been furnished to al
banks participating in the various
credits.
The complete mechanism has now
been set up which, in effect, gives Ger
man finance and industry more time in
which to go about the hard task OF
thawing out her frozen loan situation
which has been made doubly difficult
because Of foreign exchange troubles.

GEORGIA PRIMARY
VOTE UNDER WAY
Roosevelt Friends See VIC
tory Against Garner in
Presidential Test.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, March %, - Georgia
Democrats voted their presidential pref
erence today in an unusual primary
between Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of
New York and Judge G. M. Howard of
Atlanta, who says he will support
Speaker John Garner for the nomina-
ton.
Z Gov. Roosevelt is an adopted son of
Georgia which he visits frequently for
his health, and his supporters have
predicted he will carry every county In
the State.
Judge Towards hackers say he will
carry the State for Garner" and have
featured the Texans Southern BIRTH
right in appeals for votes from Georgia
the first Southern State to express its
preference.
Garner Personally Inactive.
The campaign of Judge Howard has
not had the active Endorsement of
Garner, who declined to enter the
primary personally. It is the first con-
test between the New Yorker and an
advocate of the Garner candidacy.
Georgia primaries are based on a
county unit system and not on the
popular vote in the State. There are
159 counties in Georgia and each
county has two votes in the State con-
vention for each Representative in the
lower House of the Legislature. The
candidate who receives a plurality in q
county names that county's delegates
to the convention. The convention
meets here April 6, and the State dele
gates will be selected to the national
convention.
Conditions Of Victory.
1t is possible for a candidate to re-
reive a plurality of the popular vote
and lose the convention. Some coun-
ties have four or six delegates to the
State convention, but most Of them
have only two.
Roosevelt has support Of clubs in
practically every county and the head
of the Georgia Federation of Labor
Judge Towards candidacy has the
backing Of the Anti-Saloon League.

COLOMBIAN FLYER READY.
Willing to Trace Report of Baby Upon
United States Request.

BOGOTA Colombia, March % LP).-
Mai. Benjamin MendeZ, one of the best
flyers in Colombia and friend of Col
Lindbergh, today received permission
from the war Office to fly to Buenaven-
tura where it was reported the kid
naped Lindbergh baby was being held
on an island near the coast. The flight
will not be made, however, unless the
American legation requests it.
Mai. MendeZ, himself the father OF
a 2-weeks' old son, said he hoped he
would be able to help Col. Lindbergh
and he would do anything to assist in
the recovery of the child. 1t takes two
days to get to Buenaventura from here
by train, but he said he could fly it in
three hours.
A direct flight between the two cities
never has been made and at some
points the trip is extremely dangerous
for the plane must be lifted to 10000
feet over three ranges of the Andes
The islands of the coast nee were q
pirate stronghold and there are hun

SPITALE'S TRIP FUTILE.

NEW YORK, March % (P).-"Sal-
Wy" Spitale's trip to Detroit on hot
tip" in connection with the Lindbergh
baby kidnapping turned out to be worth
less, 1t was announced today by his
underworld associate, Irving Bitz, in
an interview with the Brooklyn Eagle
Shortly before their recent acquittal
of a charge of conspiracy in liquor
smuggling, Spitale announced through
his counsel that he would go to De-
troit. He was unable to uncover any
valuable information in four days
there, and now is on his way back to
New York Bitz said.
Although Bitz declared that through
their sources he and Spitale have been
able to cover the ground better and
get more low-down than the authori-
ties" he admitted mot q single bit
Of evidence could we uncover that gave
us a hint as to the kidnapers."
THE only thing that we are certain
Of Is that no so-called organized gang

Mrs. William j. Carson, Philadelphia,

Voters, led the opposition. The reasons
she gave:
That it is unnecessary, since unde-
sirable determinations not only can be
removed without Federal amendment
but are being continually so removed.
That it Is undesirable to interfere
with the States rights principle Of our
Federal form Of Government ..
That it is undesirable to make every
case involving a differentiation between
men and women a Federal question
that can ultimately be settled only by
the Supreme Court
That no definition of equal rights
is contained in the amendment and
that this would result in confu-
