Ban on Resumption
Before Friday.

By United Press
CHICAGO, March 8.-Under a
new proclamation by Governor Hem
~ Horner, Illinois banks today re-
NAMED closed at least until Friday.

clamation "harmonizing state action

lamation would have expired today

FOOD, CLOTHING TO
Be POLO ADMISSION
Articles to Be Used for Poor
Relief by City.

FOodStuffs, clothing and old shoes
will be accepted for admission to
the Indianapolis-Ft. Wayne roller
polo game Sunday afternoon at
Tomlinson Hall, it was announced
today by Gar Davis, local team
manager.
Decision to accept articles which
can be used for poor relief was
reached because of the banking sit
uation and the urgent necessity for
supplies at the city and county en-
ployes' relief kitchen, which is main
tanned by proceeds from the polo
matches, Davis said.
Because people might not have
the money for purchase of tickets,
we have made it possible for them to
attend the game and at the same
time aid our relief work." Davis said
after conference with William E.
Clauer, national president of the
Roller Polo League and Democratic
city chairman, and Hendricks Ken
worthy.
Foodstuffs must be equivalent to
value of 25 cents, Davis said. The
shoes and clothing will be renovated
and repaired before distribution.
Eeach city employe will be REQUIRED
to purchase a 81 ticket for the next
four games.

zimmerman feels that high school
students are interested vitality in the
economic situation of their coun-
try.
Interest Is Intense
Their questions in civic govern
ment classes show this" he says.
These boys and girls, whom we are
apt to think of as thoughtleSs, do
some good thinking.
They show better judgment in
their interest in this situation than
many of US credit them. They are
taking their country's situation to
heart, and are cooperating with
it,"
Other high schools are finding the
present situation food for study in
civic and government classes, also.
Dewitt Morgan principal of Tech
meal high school, says that the
daily happenings in the banking
centers are being discussed in class
eS as matters of current events.
Show Need of Leaders
mo economic lesson can be
taught from the situation, as yet,
Morgan said. The present situa-
ton is too chaotic for lessons to be
developed from it. The thing that
we are attempting to do now is to
make high school students apprec-
late and understand the tremendous
problems of leadership in times like
these"
Walter Gingery, principal of
Washington high school feels that
questions involved in the economic
situation, are too deep for lessons to
be developed from them at present.
Il doubt whether any one knows
well enough what the outcome of
the present situation will be to plan
lessons from it," Gingery said.

VAN NUYS AND
ROBINSON FAVOR
GUARANTY LAW
States Bankers and Citi-
zenS Urge Enactment of
DepoSitorS' Bill.
By Times Special

By lines Special
WASHINGTON, March 8-Legis-
lation guaranteeing bank deposits is
favored by both Senators Arthur R.
Robinson and Frederick Van Nuys,
whose Offices are flooded with letters
and kilograms from Indiana bankers
and citizens, urging enactment of a
federal guaranty law Of some form.
Senator Van Nuys also has re-
ceived several kilograms from In
diana bankers declaring that it is
necessary to include state and
private charter banks under the pro-
visions of any banking legislation.
Typical of the kilograms of this
class is the one sent by Irving M.
LemauX. president of the Security
Trust Company of Indianapolis,
which read:
Must Include All Banks
Banking legislation, to be effec-
tive, must include all banks without
distinction as to charter or affilia-
ton. To proceed otherwise would
be to annihilate half Of the banks of
the nation, and preclude beyond
he'll the financial reconstruction
the administration has begun so
courageously.
"The citizens generally are prais-
ing the action of the President, and
are all counting on the new con-
gress to pass safe and sane legisla-
ton that will restore confidence"
In answer to kilograms of this
type, Van Mugs today issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Il thoroughly agree that the
legislation looking to the guarantee
Of bank deposits and reconstruction
of the banking situation must in
cIude all banks, whether national
or state. The extension of federal
credit on any other basis would de-
feat the very purpose for which the
legislation is directed.
Blessing Sends Wire
"I shall direct my efforts toward
securing such results. In confer
ences with various members of the
senate I find their views coincide
With mine.
1T also is pleasing and encourag-
ing to see the manner in which
both bankers and private individuals
praise the Presidents courageous
stand and it is indicative of the
healthy tone all over the nation"
Edgar M. Blessing Of indianapolis,
wired to Van Mugs a suggestion that
secretary of the treasury William
H. Woodin should issue an order
declaring checks of bank receivers
valid to the full amount.
1T will not hurt banks, and will
help the people" wired Blessing.

School Goes On as Usual, is Word
From President Bryan.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. March 8.
-Rumors that a student vacation

ship. and is ready to cooperate.
Some surmise that a brief reso-
luton may be passed on the open
ing day, Thursday, giving Mr..
Roosevelt extraordinary so-called
wartime powers. Whether con-
gress would adjourn quickly pend
ing formulation Of a long time
banking reform bill is unknown.
Senate banking experts, however,
are convinced that banking reform
is overdue, and that unless remedial
legislation is pushed speedily to en-
actment, the results will be harm
full. The Glass banking reform bill.
passed by the senate, but scorneo
by the house, may be the basis of
the longtime program.
Many Want Guarantee
There will be an effort also to
have the emergency program carry
provisions for use Of postal savings
accounts for checking purposes.
This proposal, sponsored by Sen
ator Dill Dem, Wash), is being
studied by close advisers to the
President, upon his orders.
If the Roosevelt program, emer-
gency or longtime, is not ready by
Thursday, both houses easily might
occupy themselves with organiza-
ton matters until agreement on
legislation is reached.
Because pressure is piling up in
the country for some sort Of guar
antee of bank deposits, congress-
men are advocating this. But one
banking expert there whose voice
always has had weight in these
matter is insisting that liquid
bank assets, rather than deposits,
be guaranteed, and backed by a
fund created by taxing the banks
themselves.
Would Bring Natural Unity
This would result in the long
sought unified national banking sys-
TEN, it is explained, since such guar
antee of assets could be carried on
only under supervision of the fed
eral reserve system, and it would
enfold all stable banks able to meet
requirements. The others outside
the system probably would be sus-
pect.
In this connection, Speaker-NOm-
inee Henry T. Rainey (Dem., Illo,
and Chairman Henry B. Steagall
Dem, AlaD, Of the house banking
and currency committee predicted
congress would pass some sort OF
guarantee bill Neither went into
details.
The currency inflationist bloc in
the house, incidentally, is not dis
pleased with the outlook.
Glass Stays Silent
On the senate side, Carter Glass
Dem., Va0, conferred with Gov
ernor Meyer of the federal reserve
board and other banking authori-
ties, but would make no comment.
The Virginian warned time and
again during the last session that
some such reform bill as his would
have to be enacted to restore ma
tional confidence in banks, and drive
out of the business the 'pawnshop"
bankers.
The senate, over Huey Longs
f1libuster, passed the Glass bill, but
it died in the house. 1t included
a provision for creation of a liqui-
dating corporation to return to de-
positors in closed banks I, cir money
within weeks rather than months
and years as at present.
Some such set-up probably will
be included in the new Roosevelt
program.
