NOISELESS STREET CAR TO MAKE
IT'S APPEARANCE HERE SOON
Core of Wheels Cushioned on Rubber to Eliminate
Grinding Sound.

A street car which makes no noise
as it speeds along steel rails Is now an
actuality, and there will be a few on
the streets Of Washington before very
long.
The noiseless street car has wheels
with steel treads, but with the core of
the wheel cushioned on rubber in such
way as to eliminate the grinding
sound now so familiar.
This type of car is not yet in COM
mercial production. but few have been
tried out, with great success reported
They are the result Of three years re-
search work sponsored by the street car
industry generally. About $500.000 has
been spent, or will be spent, on the
task, the money being subscribed by
street Car companies all over the coun-

DECISION ENHANCES.
ASSETS OF BANK.
Appeals Court Action Boosts
FederaI-American Hold
ings Over 100000.

An opinion which has the effect Of
increasing the assets of the closed
Federal-American National Bank by
more than 100000 was handed down
today by the District Court of Appeals.
The decision of the higher court re-
verses q ruling by the District Supreme
Court, which had held that Joseph
McReynolds and his wife, Ellen T. Nc
Reynolds, were entitled to receive $82.-
563 with interest of three and half
years from the bank.
The case involved allegations of fraud
and deceit in connection with an ex-
change of real and personal property
The Federal American Bank had NO
brought into the case by reason of its
acquisition of the Merchants Bank &
Trust Co.
The Merchants Bank & Trust Co.
and the Merchants Bank Investment
Co. we're corporations operating in the
District and having the same presi-
dent and board of directors. The

G streets for several pieces of real

Sl25 900. 1t was stipulated in the con-
tract that the Merchants Bank. with
another individual, was to act as agent
for ali parties.
After the execution Of the contrac.
McReynolds brought suit, contendine
that the Merchants Bank. while serving
as his agent, had sold the promissory
notes to the Investment company fol
Sl25, 900 and that the Investment com.
pany had in turn transferred the notes
to the realty company, which delivered
them to him. He contended the Mer-
chants Bank knew the promissory note:
were worthless at the time they wert

after he became State relief administra-
tor, newspaper editors in other cities
and towns quickly developed the same
knack.
His entire policy as Federal relief
administrator-and he has said it time
after time-will be built around his one
dominating conviction, that the hungry
must be fed However he is opposed
to any program that will put the coun-
try on a dole basis.
Although his work has just begun,
he is receiving an average OF approx
mately 200 letters day, so kilograms

tance telephone calls The letters that
require his personal attention, he an

Governors Called Here.
That those responsible for State re-
lief administration might have bet
ter understanding of his policies, Hop
kins invited the relief directors of all
the States and Territories to attend an
all-day conference at the Mayfower
last Wednesday. Ten Governors came
-Pinchot of Pennsylvania, Blackwood
Of South Carolina, Balzar of Nevada,
Cooney of Montana, Futrell of Arkansas,
Sholtz of Florida, Pollard of Virginia,
Green of Rhode Island, Brann of Maine
and Schmedeman Of Wisconsin-in ad-
dition to more than 100 relief eXecu-
tives and members of their staffs.
Hopkins made it clear to them that
Federal funds for unemployment relief
should be administered by official pub
lie units, operating under the same
fixed responsibility for expenditures as
obtains In the spending Of Government
funds by States and their political sub
divisions for other purposes, rather than
by private welfare agencies.
This policy obviously must be inter-
preted on a realistic basis in various
parts of the United States" he de-
clared Hundreds of private agencies
scattered throughout the land, have
freely and generously offered their serv-
ices in the administration of public
funds. It would be a serious handicap
to relief work If the abilities and in
terests Of these individuals were lost"
He stressed the size of the relief prob
feeding of 100000 families and 49,
100000 individuals.
"It not only requires competent and
business-lik administration" he said,
but an administration entirely apart
from partisan politics. No one should
be permitted to take petty advantage
of the tremendous trust which the peo-
pie Of America have placed in us in
seeing to it that the very lives of peo-
pie are maintained throughout this eco
nomic crisis"
