British Blame
u. S, System Of
Banking inCriisiis
Bv HARRY FLORY

United Press Stair Correspondent
LONDON, March 31.-(UP).
Britishers, who have been follow
ing the ups and downs of the
United States banking crisis,
have done so with a feeling Of
confidence that, after all, such
a crisis could not occur in Great
Britain.
"Our banking SYSTEM" they
say, "wouid not alIcw the abuses
which brought the United States
crisis"
From a practical point of view
they have been right. From a
legal point Of view they have
been wrong.
NO LEGAL DEFINITION
There is no legal definition OF
a bank. or banker, in Great Brit
ian. The nearest the authorities
ever came to such definition
t5s,as a phrase in the finance act
Lf 1918. which, without throwing
any light on the subject, said 4
bank was a person, or corpora
ton, carrying on bona fidc
banking business"
There is no codified banking
legislation in Great Britain. Most
banks operate under the COM
panies' act. the same law which
regulates any public, or private
corporation.
Whereas one Of the bankers
chief duties is to lend money.
there is legislation which says q
money lender cannot call himsel!
: banker.
British banks, except trustee
savings banks, are not subject to
direct government supervision.
Government banking examiners
are unknown.
Yet in spite Of all this appar-
emit official laxity, the British
banking system is recognized as
absolutely sound. There has been
no big bank failure in years.
Bank runs" are practically I'M
known.

NEA Service Writer

WTASHINGTON-The war be-
w tween the professors and
the politicians is beginning to get
hot.
1t may reach showdown with
complete victory for one group or
the other, but it's more likely to
develop into a standoff which will
last for a long time.
President Roosevelt has a large
group of politicians here and a
small group Of professors, scien.
lists, social workers and other non.
political experts. The former are
in Congress and the latter already
have been packed thick into the
administrative branch of the gov.
eminent. Each group has a. large,
thoroughgoing contempt for the
other.
The professors have been help
ing frame the various emergency
measures which Roosevelt has I'M
dertaken to jam through Congress
and they have been standing ready
to administer them with more
granted authority than Congress
ever let anyone have before.
THE politicians helped grease the
= chute for Roosevelt and the pro-
fessors at first, but they came to
realize that the professors would
keep them greasing the chute in
definitely if they called no halt. So
there has been a growing surge of
resentment against the speed with
which legislation was rushing
through their hands, the fact that
they were having no part in it and
the fact that power in carload lots
was being delivered to the profess
sors.
The politicians are really after
them now. Fearing popular resent
ment they shoot at Roosevelt
through his non.UOlitical aides.

Bruce Cation makes the following COM
ment on new DEAL developments IN
Washington:
Even more interesting than the legislative
measures now pending in congress, in some ways
are the rumors of legislation to be asked in the
near future.
washington seems to be full of these rumors
The capital evidently has decided that the present
is moment when anything at all can happen and
probably will. Some of the rumors are trial bal
looms some are clever deductions and some are
outright guesses; but their cumulative effect is ire
mendous.
Thus We have one correspondent writing that
Mr.. Roosevelt's little cabinet-the well-known
brain trust of professional advisers-is drawing
up plans to have the government lease marginal
coal lands and retire them from production, just
as the pending farm bill would do with marginal
farm lands.
Miss Frances Perkins, labor secretary, replies :
most certainly do when asked by a senator if she
favors the compulsory 30-hour week for industry
and leaves one wondering just how long it will
be before Congress is asked to transform this ex~
preston Of opinion into law.
simultaneously, it is reported that the admin
istratOn's railroad plan, when finally put into
shape, will call for something very much resent
bling outright government operation of the roads.
add all of these things to the astounding ven
ture of the farm BILL to the reshaping of the ma
TONS banking structure, to the governments i'm
piled determination to reduce such titanic figures
as J. P. Morgan to the size of ordinary mortas,
and it becomes clear that the administration IS
aiming at the most complete imaginable departure
from traditional practices"
Of course it would be premature action
to undertake to form any definite or fixed
conclusions about the policies of the Demo-
cratic administration one month after it
went into power; but things have been
happening in Washington with the great
est rapidity ever known in the history Of
the American government, and The Times
News does not believe it does the admins
tration an injustice in saying that it now
looks like the ''new DEAF is going to BE-
the most gigantic program. of Socialism
ever attempted in any country in the
world.
This newspaper has endorsed and advo-
Gated the Presidents economy program,
steps in the rehabilitation and recovery Of
the country is a vast reduction in the cost
Of federal government; but we have not
endorsed any of the schemes" proposed
by Roosevelt; and there is one little, in
significant Democratic newspaper in the
country that will oppose to the end all at
tempts to convert this Republic into a So
cialist State.
We do not doubt the Presidents honesty
of purpose or good intentions-we are
waiting to see how much wisdom he dis
plays. We do not believe he is a superman
or that his cO-workers and advisers are
supermen. They are bound to make mis-
takes; but, they will make an irreparablo
mistake if they lead this country further
into Socialism than it has already plunged.
1t will be a mistake that will cost the life
of the Republic.

MRS. KAHN DENIES
R.E.C. BANK CHARGE
Says California Institution Is
Not Controlled by Foreign
ers' Syndicate.

Representative Florence P Kahn, Re-
publican, of California, denied on the
House floor yesterday that the Bank of
America was controlled by "a syndi-
cate of foreigners"
She attributed the statement to that
effect to Representative Howard. Demo-
crat. of Nebraska, sponsor of the reso-
luton that required the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to make public its
loans during its first five months of
operation. Among these was $64, ,000,-
600 shown to have been authorized and
advanced to the San Francisco Bank of
America.
Mrs. Kahn said she presumed Howard
had made that statement because the
head of the bank is A. P. Gianini "and
because the Bank of America is a sue
cessor to the Bank Of Italy"
"Mr. Gianini," she said, was born in
California and has lived there all his
life. The stock of the former Bank
Of Italy and the Bank of America is
owned by the Trans-American Corpora
tion, and it is not an exaggeration to
say that 80 Per cent of it is owned by
residents of the State of California"
Howard replied that he was informed
the loan went to "a syndicate largely
composed Of foreigners" and that he
had no thought Of injury to any man
or to any institution"
A Senate subcommittee to investigate
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
loans to railroads, in considering the
Couzens resolution to suspend such ed-
vances, was named BY Chairman Nor
beck of the Senate Banking Commit
tee yesterday. Senator Couzens, Re-
publican, of Michigan, heads the sub
committe, whose other members are
Senators Goldsborough, Republican, of
Maryland; Blaine, Republican. of Wis
consin: Fletcher, Democrat. of Florida,

PHOENIX, Ariz., January 28-
Pastors of Arizona churches moved to-
day to intervene with the State Board
of Pardons and Paroles to save Winnie
Ruth Judd, convicted trunk ymurderess,
from hanging on Good Friday, April IA.
Mrs. Judd, condemned for the slay-
ing of Agnes Anne Leroi, her friend
and former house companion, was
granted 56-oay reprieve yesterday by
the Pardon Board, to permit it to hear
her application for a paVlon or COM
mutation Of sentence. February II
had been set as the execution date by
the State Supreme Court.
Phoenix clergymen, learning the
execution was set for Good Friday,
said they planned to appear at the
meeting March of the Board of Par
dons and Paroles, both to ask leniency
for Mrs. Judd and, should that appeal
fall, to request that the date Of execu-
ton be changed.
Mrs. Judds appeal for a pardon or

she killed Mrs. Leroi in self defense
and had been prevented from telling

death after refusing to hand over her
jewels. Trying to protect her he had
been knocked unconscious.
Ten minutes later. in the glare of
his spotlight, Fordney was examining
Mrs. Tully's body in the back seat of
the sedan. The top of her skull had
been battered and her clothes were
torn and covered with blood. On the
right running board he discovered a
wedding ring which he replaced on
the dead wcman's hand.
Fifteen minutes later he and Tully
drove back to the cottage. Tully, the
coat to his well tailored and immacu-
late trousers missing, his white mono
grained shirt torn and opsned at the
throat, sat staring at the fire. His
bruised face bore cut over the right
eye.
With quizzical glance at the man,
Fordney went to the telephone and,
while waiting for his connection, said,

LOCKED-IN CHILDREN
"SAVED" BY FIREMEN
Maj. Archibald King, q. s. A.,
Summons Aid for 3-Year-old and
Smaller Sister in Room.

Firemen were called upon yesterday
to rescue the two small children of
Maj. Archibald King, U. S. A., after
the youngsters locked themselves in
room on the second floor of their home,
1913 Twenty-eighth street.
The children-Robert, 3, and Mar
garet, Is months-were playing in the
room. Maj. King explained, when the
girl locked the door
Despite the fact their mother gave
them detailed instructions as to how
to unlock the door, the children were
unable to release the lock, so their
father turned in silent alarm.
Firemen raised ladder to window
of the room and showed the youngsters
what their mother meant.
