CIVIC LEADERS
UNITE TO HELP
NEW BANK PLAN
Seek TO Assure Success in
Reorganization of In
Stitution.

Civic leaders of Indianapolis to-
day were banded together to work
for successful organization of The
new American National bank, which
Will take over assets of the Fletcher
American National pank.
The organization was perfected at
a conference held Thursday at the
indianapolis Chamber Of Commerce.
Governor Paul V. McNutt, Louis j.
Borinstein, chamber president; A.
NJ Glossbrenner and G.. Barrel
Monkey spoke.
Following the meeting it was an
nOunced chamber directors had
agreed to subscribe for fifty shares
OF stock in the new institution.
The reorganization plan provides
for the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation subscribing for a
81 300 600 preferred stock issue. and
the bank 100000, providing The
public subscribes for 81 100000
common stock issue.
AssaiIs Vicious Propaganda
McNutt told the assembled group
of civic leaders that successful or
ganization of the new bank affects
not only every Indianapolis citi-
zen, but welfare of patrons of 288
other banks in the state, using the
old bank as a correspondent bank.
The Governor Scathed silly and
vicious propaganda" being circulat-
ed about the bank, adding that it
has an almost impregnable financial
condition.
we have a sound plan in front
Of us McNutt said. Are we 60
ing to accept it? I speak with great
feeling on the subject A forced
liquidation of this bank means ruin
alton of many old established bust
ness firms in indianapolis. 1t simply
must not be.
Plan Is Called Sound
The plan is sound The govern
ment has gone into partnership
with those seeking to save this
institution Liquidation will be or
derby and not forced. Success of the
plan will mean saving not only a
financial institution, but business
generally"
Moxley pointed out that the
Fletcher American bank is not in
solvent
1T is a semi-frozen bank" he
said Seventeen million dollars
lave been taken from the bank in
deposits, representing the cream of
liquidity.
Stock Subscriptions Pour In
The new plan proposes to pay
so per cent of restricted deposits
in cash and the balance in course
of time in an orderly process. Only
So cents on every dollar of segregated
assets would be sufficient to pay
every depOsitor in full"
When the United States govern
ment puts its stamp of approval on
a bank, no depOsitOr need have any
fear, GlosSbrenner said.
Members of the reorganization
committee today said stock sub
scriptions continue to pour into the
bank.

COUNSEL SAYSN.l.R.A.
WILL HOLD IN COURT
Two Tests Of Constitutionality
One on Codes, Eventually
Certain, Says Speaker.

By the Associated Press.
MIAMI. Fla, December 14.-Black-
well Smith. associate counsel for the
National Recovery Administration at
Washington, declared in an address
here last night there are two kinds
of constitutional questions "that must
be faced by the courts eventually with
respect to the national industrial re-
covery act"
One of these, he said, relates to the
constitutiopality Of the act itself and
the other to the constitutionality OF
the codes adopted under It,"
"As to the constitutionality Of the
act ITSELF" Smith said, there Is no
serious question that can be raised un-
less there is some requirement Of the
act which necessarily involves an ex-
tension of the powers of Congress under
tt :, commerce clause and otherwise.
There can be no serious contention
that the act does require necessarily
any action whatsoever In extension OF
the powers of Congress. For the first
time In the history Of the United
States Congress has brought to bear
simultaneously its entire commerce
power and has endeavored to deal with
Interstate commerce as an entirety.
UNLESS the caliber Of our judges Is
far less than my experience leads me
to believe, the answer to the question
will the new deal stand up in the
court?' can be stated clearly and un-
euuivocally in the Affirmative"

BUDGET IN FRANCE
HITS SENATE SNAG
chautemps' Cabinet Faces
New Crisis as Drastic
SIashes Are Made.
By PAUL SCOTT MoWRER.

4y Cable to The Star.
PARIS, France, December 14.-Finan-
cial peace is not yet re-established in
France after all. When the Chamber
of Deputies, after an intricate series OF
compromises and maneuvers, adopted
the governments project for balancing
the budget. it was thought Premier
Camille Chautemps' cabinet was secure
until after the holidays and that the
stability of the franc was assured.
1t was thought that the Senate's ac-
tion would be merely perfunctory. But
yesterday the Senate Finance Commit
tee profoundly modified the chambers
bill, adding further drastic economies
and taxes and hitting even the war
veterans.
Chautemps to Plead.
II the Senate persists in this attitude
there will be vigorous clash between
the two houses. and the Chautemps
government itself can hardly hope to
survive this clash. But will the Senate.
composed mainly of elderly, thoughtful
men, take this responsibility?
Chautemps himself will plead with
the committee late today. Organizations
Of government employees already have
resumed agitation against the Senate's
tendencies. There Is talk of a big
demonstration in the Place de POpera
tonight-even of brief strike in the
public services.
Manipulation Seen.
In these circumstances, it is hoped,
even If the committee maintains its
view. that the Senate itself will reject
its work and adopt the Chambers bill
instead. thus restoring tranquility at
least until January.
Some observers suspect, however, that
certain politicians, including perhaps
former Premier and Finance Minister
Joseph Caillaux, unanswered the senate
committee for the express purpose of
creating an impossible situation for
Chautemps and Fastening the advent
OF Q National-Union government.

FOR MONEY MARK
Needs $4,000 to Top Sun
Beau-WiIson Mile Will
Open Campaign.
BY ORLO ROBERTSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n 1EW YORK, July 25.-With
M the Wilson mile on the
/ Y opening day Of Saratoga,
August 3, his next objec-
tive, C.. v. Whitney's Equipoise
today was at the upstate track
preparing for a campaign that is
expected to carry him near, If
not to the top, of the turf's money
winners.
Although heavily engaged at the Spa
and the Chicago tracks, the 5-year
son of Pennant and Swinging, holder
of the worlds record Of 1884 as for
l mile, faces no easy task in earning
the nearly So, 1000 he needs to pass Sun
Beau's mark Of $376.744. Equipoise,
NTH on the worlds list and fourth on
the American, has won $294,s20.
Except for the $25,000 Hawthorne
Gold Cup, q weight-for- age event which
will be run either August 16 or 10. the
diminutive Whitney speedster's engage
ments are all in small stakes, most OF
them $500 or less.
Although eligible for eight races at
the Spa, Equipoise probably will not
start In more than two or three. T. j.
Healey. his trainer. has outlined . pro-
gram that definitely includes only the
Wilson.
"Eou1po1sE win start on the
T. opening day Of saratoga,"
Healey told the Associated Press
today. Outside Of that am unde-.
cided as to the remainder Of his pro-
gram"
II all goes well, however, Equipoise Is
expected to be shipped back to Chicago
for the Hawthorne Gold Cup, returning
to the Spa for the fifty-third running
Of the Saratoga Cup, q $4,000 added
event which should be at his mercy as
he will carry only 126 pounds light
burden In comparison with the 135 he
packed in the Arlington Handicap last
Saturday.
Should he continue his present form,
Equipoise probably also will be seen In
all the important Autumn stakes at
Belmont Park and Maryland, with the
chance he may meet Winooka, the mile
champion from Australia, In September,
either at Belmont or one Of the Chicago
courses.
