BANK CHARGES
Plan SCORED.
Gen. Johnson Says They
Can't Be Invoked Until
Okehs Them

WASHINGTON. Dec. 80. (UP)
The recovery administration is
skeptical concerning tentative
proposals by banks to include in
their code provision for service
charges on small accounts, Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson indicated last
night.
Such charges would increase
the expense to depositors of main
tanning small bank balances. john
son said it would be against a
banks own interest to impose UNI
reasonable fees. remarking:
eff the banks want to commit
suicide no one is going to worry
very much about it. My concern
is not for the banks but for the
public interest"
Publication yesterday of fair
practice provisions sponsored by
New York banks elected the adj
illustrators comment. They con-
template minimum So monthly
charge for handling checking ac-
counts with balances less than
5000.
Johnson said the proposals
would be scrutinized carefully be-
fore approval by the MIRA which
has informally endorsed the prin-
ciple of adequate service charges
to protect banks against compe-
tition by others with little or no
service charge.
at should be distinctly under
stood however," he emphasized
chat fair practice rules now be-
ing formulated by banking and
clearing house associations thru
Gus the country have not yet been
approved by the administrator and
are of no effect until they are APP
proved"
Each local or state association,
Johnson explained, may under the
code, submit such rules but in
each case these twill be subject
ed by me to a careful scrutiny in
the public interest"
He declared that any statement
purporting to show his approval
of the proposals "was absolutely
unauthorized" since they had not
even been submitted to him.

FARM SURVEY
WILL BEGIN
HERE MONDAY
Loans to Improve Hender-
son Housing Conditions
Is Indicated
SEVERAL TO WORK
in 3 TOWNSHIPS

Henderson county's farm hous-
ing survey, the local development
in the federal housing survey
project, which is being conducted
under the Civil Works Admins
tration will begin in three town.
ships on Monday. 1t is being
held under the dual Craftsmanship
of Miss Evelyn A. Haynes, as SUI
pervisor of a field force and l..
A. Gurley, engineer.
The house survey which is to
be made in 10 counties in each
state has for its purpose the gath
ering of data which will give an
accurate cross-section picture of
how the farmer is housed, and is
being done to ascertain If the
farmer is making a living wage,
and if his living conditions are
such as could be improved. To
this end, many questions will be
asked the farmers of this county
in order to get certain informa-
ton to lay before the federal Of
ficialS at Washington.
Although the workers in this
survey have not been advised that
money will be loaned the farm
ers, the indications are that such
is the purpose Of the survey. Two
questions that will be asked in
each instance are of you could
borrow money from the United
States government on a longtime
basis for the improvement OF
your home, would you do SOP
and "What would you consider a
fair rate of INTEREST,""
Both Mr.. Gurley and Miss
Haynes emphasize the fact that
the matter of taxes and the mat
ter of living conditions among
farmers are not involved in any
way in the census which is being
taken, excepting so far as they
are properly housed. The matter
of land values is not involved
either, it is explained.
1t is further indicated by them
that doubtless, if the purpose of
the government is having this
particular survey made is to find
out what farmers can and would
accept loans for the Improvement
of their housing conditions. and
it is surmised here that this is
the only purpose of the canvass,
the tendency of the government
to carry through this program
will depend in great measure on
the cordiality with which the can
vasssers are received. and the CO.
operation that is given them in
the task which they will endeavor
to carry through for the govern
ment.
1t is matter Of note that
Henderson is the only mountain
county in which the survey is
being made in this state.
The survey is starting late, ow-
ing to the delayed arrival OF
schedules but must be completed
by January 27 here as in all 9TH
er states. For this reason, one
additional worker has been added
to the field corps which has been
assigned to this work. Headquar-
tiers will be at the corner OF

PRESIDENTIAL
PLANS FORMED
F. R. Practically Ready
as Next Congress
Approaches
B., c. c. NICOLET

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. CUP,
Outlines of President ROOsevelt's
plans for the coming congress
are beginning to grow clearer
here, with strong emphasis upon
action to protect the rights of
the little fellow. Small business,
according to some critics, is in
danger of being squeezed out un-
der the NRA.
In addition to the budget, de-
partmental bills, taxes and other
inevitables, Mr.. Roosevelt has in
mind among other matters:
First, Action to protect the
antitrust laws which was relaxed
under the recovery act from be-
coming generally Ineffective.
Second, Tariff legislation along
lines not SO far specified, but
presumably designed to give the
administration wide scope In
yankee trading" with other ma
tions for favorable tariff posi-
tons.
Third, Further consideration OF
legislation to regulate stock eX-
changes. Though the president
spent most of his day on the
budget and his message to con-
greSs on the state of the nation
he held several conferences on
other topics. Most notables was
a meeting with Recovery Admin,
istrator Hugh S. Johnson and
Senators Borah, Republican, Ida
no, and Nye. Republican, North
Dakota. Two outspoken progress
sives who have expressed concern
over the fate of the 'little fel,
low" under NRA. Borah declined
to serve on a committee suggest
ed by Johnson recently to main
tain liaison with the NRA and II
was decided yesterday that
though a board of some kind
should be established to which
the small business man could take
his troubles, it would be unwise
to have senator's on it.
There were intimations, how
ever. that President Roosevelt has
some hopes of working out a plan
whereby congress could keep in
closer touch than heretofore with
what the administration is doing
| in all departments, though with
out being given any opportunity
to intervene in the purely admin
istrative, or executive, functions
of government. This, observers
said, would enable congress to
know what was going on and
would perhaps obviate the neces'
sity for so many long and expen'
sive Investigations.

zens conservation camp in Hen

and the setting up of civil
works and relief administration
for Henderson county, old 1888
will pass out at midnight Sun
day.
Absence of civic factionalism
and a minimum of political strife
also featured the year, commun-
ity leaders pointed out today,
while reductions of property valu-
atoms and in the tax rates of city
and county also contributed to
the public welfare. One spec
tacular event was recorded-the
death of seven men in lime mine
cavern near Fletcher-while the
closing days of the year witness
ed the most costly fire-the de-
struction of the Brunson Furni-
ture company and building. The
oldest landmark to go by fire dur
ing the year was the Toms resi-
dence on Toms Hill.
Retail business in Henderson
vile touched bottom in 1892,
started an advance early this
year and closed the year with
gain of 10 to Is per cent over
last year. survey Of prominent
business establishments indicated
today. Business was at its lowest
ebb between the national election
last fall and the Inauguration of
President Roosevelt in March,
most merchants interviewed
agreed. The peak Of trading in
the last three years was reached
on the Saturday before Christmas
this year when Hendersonvillc
streets were filled with the largest
winter crowds in years. Trade in.
creases up to SO per cent more
than last Christmas were report
ed by merchants. One merchant
said the 1882 volume of business
was reached in the first week Of
December and that his gain for
this year was represented by the
business done through the re-
mainder of the month. Operating
expenses this year were slightly
higher than last year, due largely
to provisions Of NRA codes, it
was said, but the increased cost
of doing business was more than
offset by the larger volume and
higher prices. The largest factor
in the trade revival was believed
to be the releasing Of several thou
sand dollars to men and women
working on civil works projects.
The tourist business in Hen
derson county last summer was
smaller than in 1882, it was
agreed, and most observers said
the decline was due in large part
to the pulling power of the
worlds fair in Chicago. Fall and
winter business has been better
than it was last year, however,
and this offset the loss to mer-
chants in the hot months, it was
said.

DUCA'S DEATH
FOLLOWED BY
MARTIAL Law
Rumanian King Is Heavily
Guarded After Fridays
Assassination

BUCHAREST, Roumania, Dec.
80. -UP)- The cabinet voted
today to proclaim martial law
throughout the country. King
Carol and other notables were
guarded heavily in fear that the
assassination of Premier Ion G..
Duca was but part of great muir
der plot.
Strict censorship Of newspapers
also was decided upon.
A brother-in-law of Duca tried
vainly today to kill Nicola Con
stantinescu, the premier's assassin
in his cell at police station.
The attempt occurred just be-
fore a train left the railway sta
ton at Sinaia. where Duca was
shot last night, with the body OF
the Martyred premier.
Radiu Polizzu, the brother-in-
law, left the train as it moved out
toward Bucharest, went to the po-
lice station obtained admission on
a pretext and went to Constan-
tinuescu's cell.
He stood before the bars, drew
q revolver and fired il at the con-
fessed assassin. 1t missed, Ward
ems quickly disarmed him.
The gravity of the political
situation, which caused the cabi-
nets vote to proclaim martial
law, and the fears of a gigantic
murder plot, were emphasized to-
day. c..
a bomb exploded in the Sina'a
railway station. 1t injured child;
Police believed it was intended
for some official.
