''BABY BOND" ISSUE
IS HIT BY LOZIER
Missourian Says Plan Will Drain
Millions From Rural Saw
ings Accounts.

Declaring the Governments plan to
sell baby bonds" would result in mil
lions of dollars being withdrawn from
rural savings accounts, Representative
Lozier, Democrat. of Missouri. describ-
I'd it yesterday as another punch below
the belt" that, the administration is
getting ready to give to the small
banks"
For 10 years these banks have been
mercilessly exploited by the big city
banks with the full knowledge and tacit
approval of the administration" he told
the House, adding:
Secretary Mills has announced that
the issue of these bonds will be 'un-
limited That is to say they will
not only be offered to the so-called
hoarders, but all classes Of investors will
have an opportunity to purchase This
really means that people who are not
now hoarders, but who have misgivings
as to the general banking situation will
be attracted by these Government Sc
curities and Notwithstanding the low
interest rate will be tempted to with
draw their savings or other deposits
and invest the proceedings in baby
bonds y.
THE net result Of the Hoover-Mills
plan will be to withdraw from rural
communities millions of dollars that
are now so badly needed TO strengthen
banks"

Violent.

Stabbed in the back of the neck with
an ice pick and shot three times, Ruth
Wells, 17-year-old colored girl, of the

at Casualty Hospital as the result Of a
fight with her sweetheart, 43-year-old

man became enraged over the girls de-
termination to testify against him be-

Taken to Casualty Hospital with the
ice pick still sticking in her neck, the
Wells girl was operated upon imme-
diately in an effort to save her life.
Today she was still breathing, but death
was expected momentarily.
The man, apparently deciding to sur
render, drove from the scene after
pushing the girl out on the road. In
front of police headquarters, he stum-
bled dizzily from the machine. while
1t was still running and the car
careened into several parked cars,
striking Police Chief Glassford's motor

FEDERAL WORKERS.
HOME is PROPOSED
Candidate for Treasurer Of Union
No. 2 Points to Advan-
tages of Plan.

A Federal Employees Home. with an
auditorium, recreational and other
facilities, was proposed today by Gale
Feaster, candidate for the post of sec
retary-treasurer of Federal Employees
Union. No. 2, an employe of the Office
of solicitor Veterans Administration
Laying out his proposal, Mr.. Feaster
frst called attention to the fact that
the thousands of members of the union
represent a wide range of personalities
and interests
AS l see it, we have a wonderful
opportunity to serve our members to
better advantage by erecting a Fed
eral employees home in the District of
Columbia, in which structure there
could be a large auditorium, suitable
for lectures or entertainments of vari-
Gus kinds as well as committee and
meeting rooms bowling alleys, SWIM
ming pools, billiard rooms, gymnasiums
and other convenienceS that go to make
up home adequate to care for the
activities of our members" he said.
The erection Of such home is thor
oughly feasible and practicable, and The
plan should be put into operation as
speedily as possible. In fact, such a
building, erected for Office purposes as
well, could be so arranged that rentals
would amortize its cost
At present, he pointed out, the az
Eregaae expense of the locals, for rents,
would pay substantial part of the
amount needed for a home building,
and many other organizations with far
less membership than ours, have sue
cessfully achieved home ownership"

from Chicago and the change in the
