BANKS BRINGS
BIC BUSINESS
Second Stage Of Restoration
Causes Heavy Deposits In All
Parts OF Country.
THIRD STAGE TOMORROW
Local Banks Expect To Resume
Normal Operations Wednesday
AT Latest.

NEW YORK, March IA U.P)-
New York and the nation moved
smoothly today into the second
stage of banking restoration, with
approved financial institutions in
clearing house cities joining in nor
NAL operation with the banks in
federal reserve cities which opened
yesterday.
Seventy-two federal reserve MEM
bers in clearing house cities in the
New York federal reserve district
were authorized to open, and in ad-
dition approved non-member banks
in the district won permission
from state authorities to do bus
iness. The district includes all of
New York, most of New Jersey and
Fairfield county, Connecticut.
In the country as a whole, banks
in some $50 clearing house cities
were added to those in the II fed
eral reserve cities which started
almost normal operations yester-
day. Not all banks in the affected
cities were allowed to open today.
No official announcement was
made of the number which did not
open, but once again it was en-
phasized that failure of bank to
open while its neighbors were al
lowed to resume business might
mean that the authorities had not
had time to examine its status.
Tomorrow will come the third
step toward restoration of banking
facilities for the country-the au-
tnorized reopening of institutions
in cities and towns not recognized
federally as clearing house centers.
Tomorrow, Thursday and Friday
will come, too, it is expected, the
gradual restoration of business by
securities and commodities ex-
changes all over the country. In
general, these exchanges chose to
remain closed until full banking
facilities were restored, though some
announced plans for immediate re-
sumption Of business. The New
York stock exchange will not open
before tomorrow, and possibly not
then.
In New York City. where almost
all commercial banks did business
yesterday unrestricted except as to
gold and foreign exchange trans
actions, the first days operation
brought complete confidence to
many observers that the critical
stage of the banking situation was
over.
The federal reserve bank reported
that it paid out S18,000,000 in new
and old currency during the day
and took in $23,000,0O0, a net gain
of S1O000,000. Every bank said its
receipts exceeded its Withdrawals,
and savings banks took in 81 for
every one they paid out under
S25 withdrawal limit.
LOS ANGELES, March IA. U.p)-
Ten members of the Los Angeles
Clearing House association, with
their scores of branches through
out the city, opened for business
today after 13 days of curtailed

at Long Beach, which lies at the

The second temblor, one hour

posure OF many aged persons since
their homes were shaken down
caused numerous cases of pneu-
monia in Long Beach, Compton and
Huntington Park today as the
stricken cities were shaken by re-
current earthquake shocks.
A long rolling tremor, lasting ap-
proximately seven seconds, was felt
at Long Beach at 4:21 a. m. No
additional damage was reported A
second light shocks came at $50
a. m.
Sixteen patients mad been
brought into Seaside hospital and
emergency receiving stations since
sundown yesterday. Most of the
victims were old people who ha6
been sleeping upon the damp ground
in front of ruined hCmes.
Two aged women were found near
death, too weak to call for aid A
younger woman with baby boy
in her arms was rescued by ambu-
lance crews in charge of William
Van. The baby had pneumonia,
the mother double pneumonia.
BY 8 O'Clock Van had divided the
town into patrol sections and in
structed his ambulance drivers to
inspect the little outdoor camps in
front Of Long Beach's 1000 COM
pletely ruined homes.
Those found to be inadequately
sheltered, particularly older people,
were taken to Bixby park where re-
lief agencies had tents and warm
blankets ready.
Many went willingly. Others,
judgment warped by three days and
nights of malrutrition and expo
sure, fought the ambulance men
and had to be transported forcibly
TO Bixby.
On the brighter side of the pic
ture was the employment given to-
day to almost 1000 men, assigned
TO the gigantic task of clearing the
debris and tearing down menacing
structures.
