NATIONS BANKS
 ARE BECOMING
 CONCENTRATED
Fewer and Larger Units
 But Deposits Increase Govt Works Hard for
 Bank Deposit Insurance
By RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY (Copyright 1888, by the United
 Press)

By RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY (Copyright 1888, by the United
 Press)
 Washington, Aug 22.-(UPl- Concentration of the nations bank ing resources into fewer and larg- CT units was seen today as the ad- ministration worked out plans to put bank deposit insurance into effect on January 1.
 President Roosevelt's advisers realize that a sound banking struc- ture must be preserved if the coun- try's recovery program is to be a success and have sought to stamp out the paralyzing stream of bank ing failures.
 Treasury and banking statistics showed today a steady shift in bank deposits since the war to larger and fewer institutions, with a dras- tic reduction in the number of in- stitutions doing business.
 The United States has lost more than half it's banking institutions since the all-time peak of 30,812 in 1921, but actually has increased its bank deposits from $38,664,987,000 in 1921, to approximately $41,- 380,047,000 at present.
 Mergers and liquidations as we'll as the closing during the March holiday of institutions. But the net result was believed in admins tration circles to have put the en- tire banking structure on a sounder basis and to have made contribu- tion toward the prospects of suc- cess for the bank deposit insur- ance plan.
 Under the 1893 banking act the administration will create the Fed eral Deposit Insurance Corpora ton to insure deposits of all Fed eral Reserve member banks and of all approved non-member banks up to July 1, 1896. Temporarily from January 1 until July 1, deposits will be insured in full up to $2,500. After July 1, deposits will be in- sured in full up to $10,000; 75 per cent from $10,000 to $5O,000 and 50 per cent above $50,000.
 Most of the guarantee funds will be supplied by the banks them- selves and the current trend toward fewer, and possibly larger and stronger, banks are looked upon by many observers as assuring the success of the plan.
 Including the 565 mutual sav- ings bank, 8 total of 14,511 banks in the United States are doing a normal business and hold deposits of $41,380,047,0O0. These deposits can be withdrawn at will and pro- vide strong backing of public pur. chasing power.

something can be done 'about the
poor white-faced little girls who
worked all day at sewing machine

''the pathetic women who shaved their
lives away for g. pittance."
All we have to do. so says this
article, (whooping it up for women to
support the Nira), is to buy only
garments with the MIRA. label.
This label proves, says the article,
that the garment bearing it has been
made "by women who made at least
SIS a week" (Yes-and at most) And
that these women were people who
were not exploited by their employers
because of the labor market"
Bourgeois women have some quaint
ideas of what constitutes exploita-
ton. don't they? The article also
mentions, casually, $75 suit. The
women earning mot less than SIS
a week" can buy lots of those, of
course.
Anyhow, it becomes beautifully ap-
parent-after comparing this tract
in the World-Telegram with the
aforementioned editorial in the Daily
Worker, that bourgeois women know
where their bread is buttered when
they support the NR.A.

He tried to provoke me. Finally he
stepped out with his death weapon
and told me there was no room for

I was only joking. Why, just one Of

me out, that time we caught them
stealing the grain.
Grischa: Yes, remember. Read
