Pontiac Workers Face
LayOff and Starvation

PONTIAC, Mich.-Pontiac workers
are faced with layoffs and starvation
The officials of the Pontiac and
Fisher plants announce a or week
complete shutdown, and Archie Allen,
car of the city welfare, announces
that a worker must be out of the
shop for six weeks before any relief
will be given. This means that unless
a militant mass protest is made
against this policy, the Pontiac

Sleeping Tablets.
B. Mccarthy: Whether one can die
from an overdose Of sleeping tablets
depends on what kind and how many
tablets are taken. There are many
cases on record where death followed
an overdose of Veronal or of Nor
phine. Your wife is right in object
ing to your taking anything for your
sleep, especially if you do not carry
life insurance. Better have yourself
examined by a competent physician
who will find out the cause Of your
insomnia (sleeplessness) and treat
you accordingly.

Hot Water Is
Won by Protest
BY a Worker Correspondent

ANDERSON, Ind-A grievence
committee was organized in the
foundry department last week to
take up the question of getting hot
water for our shower bath.
The company did not furnish hot
water for all the shifts, the 2:30
shift being forced to battle in cold
water. So our committee decided to
put a sticker in the shop demanding
hot water. This was done, and the
bosses at once got busy and made
arrangements to furnish hot water
for all shifts.

GAS VALUATION
QUIZ JUNE |

Resumption Of hearings of the
valuation of properties Of the
Washington and Georgetown Gas
Light companies is expected about
June /, it was revealed today by
Riley E. Elgen, vice chairman OF
the Public Utilities Commission.
The hearings have been post
poned several times to give time
for conferences between en-
gineers and accountants for the
commission and the companies.
At these conferences the ex-
perts of the two bodies have
studied facts and figures in an ef-
fort to lessen the number of con-
troversial matters which will come
up at the public hearings and
thus cut down the time necessary
to conduct the hearings.
Mr.. Elgen said today that rapid
progress is being made by the
conferees. They have completed
their study of structural items
and today are beginning a study
of the value of land holdings OF
the two concerns.
Under the present arrange
ment, the Public Utilities Com
mission may call the hearings at
any time by giving a Today no
tice to the companies.

NEW NATIONAL
BANK To TAKE
IN OTHERS
District Bank Officials See
Opportunity to Release
Large Deposits

If officials of the District Ma
tional Bank are successful in
their efforts to form a new ma
tional bank it will almost i'm
mediately become a part OF a
larger new institution"
In a statement issued to de
positors of the District National
today, the reorganization com
mittee stated that:
"All the banks in the District
of Columbia not now in full
operation will be given the OPP
pOrtunity to sell their prime
assets to the new bank, and
thus, in effect, release a large
proportion of the deposits now
held unavailable"
100000 Capital
Two other banks sin situations
like ours" operating on a re-
stricted basis under supervision
of conservators, the statement
said, have already adopted SINH
lar plans land it is expected
when their plans are consum-
mated they will become part OF
the larger new bank"
The plan, under way today,
proposes formation of a new
bank "as strong and as liquid as
possible" with capital of $780,
600, of which 100000 would be
preferred stock subscribed to by
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, and 100000 CT COM
mon stock to be sold at premi-
UNI of Is per cent. thus giving a
surplus of 100000.
Half Deposits Available
The plan would make available
from so to so per cent of the de-
posts of the bank. The state
ment says:
"ThiS is the only plan by
which any substantial amount
of the deposits will be immedi-
ately liberated, and if it be no
perfected, a receiver must be
appOintd who will collect assets
when and as he is able, and
make distributions when cOlIec-
tiOnS are made. But little could
be expected for a number of
months and then only in small
inStalmentS."
Based on a report of an ex-
aminer of the R. F. c., as OF
March %, the District National
had prime" assets readily con-
vertible into cash Of $4,748, 141.39
and other assets on which it could
borrow at least $1,000, 900, accord
ing to the statement.
Assets listed under the head
ings of "slow, doubtful and loss''
aggregated $4,349,981,53 and in
clude real estate and real estate
securities held by the bank.
Under the reorganization plan
the new bank would take only
those assets which are prime"

P. j. c. ORDERS
BAN On NOISE

Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick,
chairman of the District Public
Utilities Commission, today wrote
Representative Mary T. Norton,
chairman of the House District
Committee, that steps had been
taken to eliminate noise caused
by street cars running past the
House Office Building.
Chairman Norton and Repre-
sentative Hatton w. Summers,
chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee, recently complained
to the commission that hearings
before their respective committees
were interrupted by the noise of
the street cars.
Patrick stated that the commits
sion had ordered the removal Of
the switches at the end Of the
curve track between the south
bound track on First Street
Southeast and the west bound
track on B Street. He also ex-
planned that much of the noise
had been caused by the speed
with which the street cars cross
the intersection and stated that
both traction companies have
been instructed to direct the mo-
tormen to operate the cars over
the crossing at moderate speed.

LICENSES
REQUIRE MORE
CLERKS
Shorthanded D. C. Force Jams
Work of Getting Out
Permanent Permits

A group of clerks to assist the
Beverage Permit Board in hand
ling the piled-up beer permit
applications was to be named to-
day by Major Daniel ]. Donovan,
District personnel officer, and
Daniel E. Garges, secretary to the
Board of Commissioners.
The clerks will be picked from
offices where work is slackest
and will give their full time to
the beer work until the peak is
past. 1t is hoped this will, by
tightening the work of board,
speed up issuance of permanent
licenses.
The action was made necessary
by the action of the Commits
sioners in refusing the $4,000
appropriation offered by Congress
for beer law administration. The
Commissioners recommended that
the item be stricken from the
local beer bill because the
present personnel could handle
Cne work.
AS a result. no permanent
licenses have been issued and
even the work of issuing tempo
rary permits has fallen behind be-
cause of the rush for licenses.
Lack of an indexing system, be-
cause there is no one to do the
indexing, has caused unprece-
dented confusion in the follow
ing through" of Investigations on
applications.
It is hoped, however, that ap-
pointment of the emergency as
sistants to the board will in a
measure clear up these Difficult
ties and that issuance of perma-
nent licenses can be started
within a reasonably short time.
