 J. F. Morgan, who since the outset Of the inquiry gradually has been crowded toward rear wall in the hearing room leaped to his feet and leaned forward to follow Glass remark.
 Glass said the letters 'call me q crook and q defender of racketeers and threaten my life"
 The name of former Chairman John J. Raskob of the democratic national committee was brought back into the inquiry through the desire to ''reciprocate" to Morgan and company for offering him ''cut-ratc" block of stock.
 Glass ironically interrupted to ask Whitney:
 Don't you gentlemen feel that you failed to exercise the proper alcrtness in not having Mir Raskob seek to have me eliminate three provisions in my banking bill, to which l understand your firm ob- jects? Weren't you derelict In having a former chairman of the republican national committee try

New York, May 31.-America's s biggest banker today is the federal government and the United States is now operating fifty-two financing institutions, says an article in the American Bankers Association Journal by John Hanna, professor of law at Columbia university.
 ''Forty of these are owned en- tirely by the government, the arti- cle says. "In twelve more the government has already a two- thirds interest. Thirty-seven are intended to be permanent. Twenty five of the permanent ones and fourteen of the temporary ones are agricultural.
 "The capital stock held by the United States in these banks has 0 par value of $1,3S0, 100000 The governments total investment is nearly $2,000, 100000. Resources of these institutions exceed $3,000,- 000,000. In addition the govern ment has detailed supervision over fifty-one mortgage banks, operat- ing under federal charter. The government also supervises 4,600 local agricultural loan associations with federal charters. All this takes no account of the relations of the government to the twelve Fed eral Reserve banks, nor of the au- thority recently given to the Re- construction Finance Corporation to buy preferred stock in national and state commercial banks"
 The president has ordered the consolidation of the agricultural credit agencies into the new farm credit administration. says Profess sor Hanna, who served as attorney for the War Finance Corporation.
 Before the consolidation of the agricultural financing agencies too much machinery had been created to administer the financing institu- tions which the government either owns or supervises, he says.
 Existing institutions, however, represent considerable differen-

 During the exchange, Glass had playfully included Senator Couzens, repn., Mich.. as a committee mem- Der who might have been used.
 Couzens wanted to know from Glass what republican official he was referring to who might be a friend of his. Glass had said former chairman" in his qucs- tion.

Virtually penniless, and with no plans
for the future, Col. George Mlburn
Studebaker, scion Of a pioneer Indiana
manufacturing family, sat in his a.
room house here yesterday, victim
Of the insult Utilities collapse.
The 68-year-old man, whose fortune
four or five years ago was estimated
at $500, 600, filed bankruptcy plea
in Federal Court yesterday. He put
his assets at less than IS 600 and his
debts as approximately s2,500 900.
II am getting along in years." he
said when asked what he planned to
do. That was as much as he would
say.
Born to wealth as the son of one
of the five Studebaker brothers who
made fortunes out of wagon building
and later in the manufacture OF auto
mobiles, COL Studebaker personally in
creased his holdings as the years
rolled by.
He Withdrew from the Studebaker
Corporation more than 10 years ago
to give all his time to his personal
investments. Finally, Col. Studebaker
became heavily involved In the once
powerful group Of holdings Of which
Samuel insult, ST., was the head. When
those holdings collapsed the colonels
fortune dwindled rapidly.
Studebaker was colonel Of the 18TH
Indiana Volunteers in the Spanish
American war.
