Suicide Called
Gilman ofLong
Brooding

Contrary to the belief that sui
eide is a spontaneous act, it is
the result of long brooding. Some.
times the act is done years after
the idea first occurs to the sui
eide.
This was declared to the Amer
ican Neurological Association in
the Washington Hotel yesterday
by DR.. Nolan D. C. Lewis, of St.
Eizabeth's Hospital, who also
declared that suicide is more or
less a thing of self lf-revenge.
1t is the dreaming type of per-
son who keeps his thoughts to
himself who is most apt to COM
NIT suicide, he said.
DR.. George B. Hassin, of Chi
cago, told the physicians that
electrocution is the most humane
method of capital punishment.
Thirteen medical groups, meet
ing here in conjunction with the
fifteenth session of the Congress
of American Physicians and Sur
geos, have brought their meet
ingS to a close.

MRS.R0OSEVE[T

Mrs. Roosevelt is keeping a
day-by-day diary of her exper'

The diary, Mrs. Roosevelt said
yesterday, does not contain an
itemized account of White House
routine but covers the high-spots.
Mrs. Roosevelt regrets she did
not keep a diary of her eight
years in washington during and
after the war period.
She treasures highly an account
she kept of her trip to Europe
with her husband when he was
sent abroad by President Wilson
to close the American camps. It
was of great value, she found,
when visiting the same area
three years ago with her sons.
The present diary may some
day be given to the world and

BADLY
BURNED

Henry E. King, a huckster, of
Clarksburg, Md, who was badly
burned this morning in an auto
mobile accident, is at Emergency
hospital where little hope is held
for his recovery.
King was burned when the
truck he was driving north on
the Rockville Pike collided with
an automobile driven by J. Carl
ton Knight, of Rockville, about
a mile south of Rockville.
When the truck upset it caught
fire and King leaped from the
driving seat enveloped in flames.
He ran across a lot to a nearby
house where a man tore his
clothing from him.
Rockville Fire Department
Rescue Squad brought King to
the firehouse where he was given
first aid. Knight, who was also
injured, was taken to the Mont
gomery County General Hospital
at Sandy Springs, where it is said
his general condition is fair. King
is about IS years old and has a
wife and three children.

BONUSP PROTEST
IS RENEWED
MITCHELL

Replying to Gov. John Pollard
of Virginia, who yesterday criti-
cized him for alleged interference
with the White House plan for
housing the second bonus army,
at Fort Hunt, Representative How
ard w. Smith CD of Virginia
today said he was surprised that
his mild protest had caused his
States chief executive to lose his
dignity and temper in a single
outburst.
Smith, who represents several
neighboring counties in Virginia,
including Fairfax which COM
pletely surrounds Fort Hunt, went
to the White House shortly after
noon today with Senator Carter
Glass to renew his protest against
dumping the bonus army on Vir-
ginia" without police protection.
Smith wrote Governor Pollard
asking that he too protest after
he had gone to the Veterans Ad-
ministration and lodged a COM
plant about quartering the bonus
army in his district.

Pledges of fair treatment to

assurances that efforts will be

of hardship on all concerned,
were given by Harry B. Mitchell,

The new Commission includes
also George R. Wales, the only

oath was then administered by
Secretary Babcock.
Mr.. Wales then presented Mr..
Mitchell, formerly a Great Falls

said, after taking the oath:

s BANKS PARLEY
ON PLAN FOR
MERCER
ConservatorS in Session to
Seek Basis for Agree
ment on Program

Conservators of six Of the 13
Washington banks which failed
to reopen at the close Of the
banking holiday are meeting to-
day at the Federal American Ma
tional Bank and Trust Company.
Decision on the formation of
proposed new central national
bank, which is expected to be
joined by most of the closed
banks, is almost certain to be
reached in the next two or three
days.
Conservators of the District Ma
tional Bank, United States Saw
ings Bank, the FederalAmerican,
Potomac Savings, Washington Saw
ings, and the Woodridge-Langdon
Savings and Commerce attended
today's meeting.
Federal-American Key
It is predicted in banking circles
that decision of the Federal-Amer-
ican to become part of the pro-
posed merger would be the de-
Gliding factor with directors of a
number of the other banks ex-
pected to join in the movement.
The Franklin National, North
east Savings, Chevy Chase Say
ings and the Industrial Savings
are proceeding with their own
plans for reorganization as indi-
vidual banks.
100000 Capitalization
The plan as proposed for reor-
ganization of the District National
calls for a total capitalization of
100000, of which $500,000 would
be in preferred stock held by the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion. There would be a surplus
of 100000.

LICENSES DUE
JUNE |
Beer Board Assistants Start
Checkup of Temporary
Permits, West Says

The Beverage Permit Board will
cease issuing temporary licenses
about June l, under present plans.
Two clerical assistants to the
board have been named, and
these are now at work on the
investigation Of holders of tenn.
porary licenses, and it is expected
that the first permanent license
will be issued within about two
weeks, according to Vernon E
West, chairman Of the board.
About so of the temporary IL
censes have been routed through
all offices where they must be
checked and are ready for final
inspection, West said.
Full Checking Up
This will include a checking of
the persons named in the appli-
cations as references and an in
spection of the premises of the
licensees to determine if they
conform to the requirements of
the beer code.
AS soon as the board begins
to issue these permanent licenses,
the members will recommend to
the Commissioners that no more
temporary permits be granted, it
was said today.
A Week Needed
It will require about week to
obtain a license when the issu-
ance of the permanent licenses is
begun, instead of a day, as is
the case with the temporary per-
mits.
In addition to checking on the
applications, the two assistants
to the beer board, recruited from
other offices, are arranging and
filing applications in more or
derly manner to expedite action
on the papers as they are reached.
