BEVERLY HILLS, Oct. 6
(SpeciaD-Just been reading
over the resolutions adopted in
Chicago by the American Le-
gion this week. They were as
level-headed and broad-mind-
ed as ever passed by any Or
ganization, and here was an
astonishing thing: They come
out unanimous for sound dol
lar. Now, that showed they
WASH It taking the easy way
out. And there was body of
men representing the cross
section of our country, if ever
one did.
Yoo would be surprised at the
amount of people that don't
care how much anything else
jumps up and down every day
but they want to know what
that old dollar is worth asleep
or awake. But enough of this.
For the one way to detect
feeble minded man is to get one
arguing on economics.

FRIENDS OF INDIA
ASSAIL "UNTRUTHS"
American Literature and Drama
Misrepresent True Conditions.
Says Society.

Misrepresentation in American lit
erature and drama of true conditions
IN India were attacked last night at
meeting IN the Mayf1ower Hotel of the
newly-forrned Friends of India Society.
In formal statement issued through
its chairman, Stevers NJ Wright, the
society said:
The civilized world admires the
philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, and it
Is this philosophy that dominates In
dian thought today. Still there are
scoffers who would judge India by tribal
practices that are almost. if not COM
pletely, in the discard. There are writ
ers who would pillory India by re-
vealing, as they put it, ancient customs
abhorrent to the cultured American
mind. These writers commercialize
sensationalism. They have no desire to
paint the truth as it exists in India to-
day. Still their effusions occasionally
sppear in responsible Washington news
lapers."
The statement also condemned a re-
cent moving picture, which, it was said,
had been discredited by every Indian
scholar who has witnessed it.

UTILITIES BOARDS
ASK PHONE CHANGE
District Represented in Plea to
Amend I. c. C. Account
System.

A group Of public utilities commits
sions, including that Of the District of
Columbia, appeared at public hearing
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today to demand a large num-
ber of amendments to the I. C. C. uni
form system of accounts for telephone
companies.
The general drift of most Of the
amendments was to give to State COM
missions more powers than those left
to them under the new I. C.. c. rules,
particularly with respect to company
mergers and purchases of one company
by another
The State commissions objected in the
first place to issuance of the 1. C. C.
order at all, on the ground the tele-
phone business is primarily intrastate.
Milo r. Maltbie, chairman of the New
York State commission, conducted the
case for the State commissions. Harvey
Hoshour and Edward w. Beattie, coun-
sci for the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Corporation: c. A. Heiss, con-
troller of the A. T. g. T., and A. B.
Crunden, one of his aides, appeared to
oppose the amendments suggested by
the State commissions.

pension today pending investigation Of

Amendment Adopted.
AS reported from the Judiciary Com
mlttee by Senator Nicely, Democrat. of
West Virginia, the bill would have ap-
pned to all appointments above $500.
Just before the measure was acted upon
senator Barkley, Democrat. of Ken
tucky, had an amendment adopted
raising the limits to $1,000. The only
exception made by the bill would be
appointments by the President of sec
retaries and clerks in his service.
Opposing the bill, Senator Logan.
democrat, of Kentucky, declared he
thought the Senate of the United States
would have very little to do If it could
nnd nothing more important to consider
than the appointment of thousands of
clerks and subordinates in the de.
partments.
IF 1t is the desire of the collector
OF revenue or the marshal down in nv
state to appoint two deputies, or if it
Is necessary to appoint some clerk in
tner ONCE, I think it is very small
matter to insist that that appointment
oe submitted to the Senate for con-
nrmation," Senator Logan said.
King Bill Reported.
Another measure. affecting Civil
Service employees, was reported from
the Senate Civil Service Committee last
night and is awaiting Senate action.
IL Is the King bill, which would remove
the Civil Service status from several
thousand Civil Service positions which
have been covered into the classified
service by executive order. or to which
appointments have been made without
examination since March 4, 1929. The
bill further provides that hereafter
the Civil Service laws shall not be
construed to permit the covering into
the classified Civil Service of any oosi-
ton or office by executive order, nor
to permit the appointment to the classi-
ned service without examination.
Before reporting the bill, however.
the committee adopted an amendment
providing that all employees who are
not officials and who have heretofore
been covered into the service by
executive order may be allowed to take
special competitive examination for
the places they now hold.

DEPOSIT INSURANCE.
WILL APPLY TO D. c.
Senate and House Take Spe.
cia. Action on Banking
Bill.

The plan for future guarantee of
deposits in the Glass-Steagall bank bill,
now awaiting the Presidents signature,
will apply to banks in the District Of
Columbia as the result of special action
taken by the House and Senate last
night.
After work on the bank bill had been
completed yesterday and the measure
was being put in final shape to be
sent to the President, it was found that
slight change in phraseology was
needed to make sure that banks in the
District Of Columbia would be included
along with the rest of the country in
the deposit guarantee section. One
other correction was found to be neces-
sary and leaders quickly prepared a
resolution authorizing the clerk of the
House to make these changes in the
enrolment of the bill. The resolution
was adopted promptly by both the
House and the Senate.
Overlooked in Rush.
In calling the resolution up in the
Senate, Senator Bulkley of Ohio ex-
planned that every one intended to in
ciude the District of Columbia In the
deposit insurance feature and that the
need for the correction arose only
because OF the rush of work involved
IN preparing the conference report on
The bill provides for a temporary
$4,000, beginning January /. 1884, m
less the President should fix an earlier
date by proclamation. This Temporary
plan would continue until July l. 1884.
Wnen the permanent plan for insurance
OF deposits provided for in the bill
would take effect.
Graduated Scale.
The permanent insurance plan, which
also could be made effective earlier than
July, 1884. by presidential proclamation,
provides Tor graduated scale of in
surance as follows: 100 per cent. I1n to
$4,000; rs per cent Of the amount in
excess OF $4,000, but not exceeding
$4,000. and so per cent of the amount
above $4,000.
A provision Of the bill which elimi-
mates double liability carried by stock
was hailed today by officials of the new
Hamilton Natioral Bank as a new fea-
ture which would induce many more
persons to invest in the Hamilton stock
which is now being sold.
Under the old law, the Hamilton
stock, which sells for $25 a share for
par value OF $40, would have been sub
Ject to assessment up to its full value
But under the provisions of the new bin
this stock will not be subject to
assessment.
Stock Exempt.
The preferred stock being sold by the
Franklin National Bank has never been
subject to double liability as it was
issued under the emergency bank act,
which permits issuance of preferred
STOCK without double liability. New
bank stock issued In Washington by any
other national bank, including the In
dustrial Savings Bank, which is at
tempting to reorganize as a national
bank, also would be exempt from this
double liability.

Convicted OF manslaughter in District

resources. Please give me the limit un-
der the law" The maximum penalty

SURVEY UNNECESSARY
D. c. Government Free of Graft
and Corruption, Says Head
of Subcommittee.

The proposed investigation OF the
District government and its business
practices will be abandoned because
Of the failure Of the House to ap-
propriate funds for the inquiry, it was
announced today by Representative
Palmisano, Democrat. of Maryland.
AS chairman of the special subcom-
mittee of the House District Commit
tee appointed to make the investiga-
ton, Palmisano said his group could
not function without finances and he
had no intention now of going ahead
with plans for the inquiry.
Resolution on Calendar.
A resolution providing $2,50O for the
investigation is on the House calendar
but it is not expected to be called up
for adoption in view of the impending
adjournment of the special session of
Congress.
Palmisano also questioned the neces-
sity OF an investigation at this time.
He declared he believed the District
government to be free of graft and
corruption, and that the inquiry could
serve no useful purpose.
since appointment of the committee
Palmlsano said he had received only a
few complaints against District officials
and these came chiefly from contractors
whose bids have been rejected. He
said specification should not be drawn
In favor Of the product of any particu-
Lar manufacturer, as has been charged
by some Of the contractors.
Injustices Charged.
Palmisano said he also had received
complaints from a number of persons
who believed they had suffered in
justices in connection with the admin
istration of unemployment relief and
welfare funds, but most of them had
been unable to offer substantial proof.
If any changes develop in conditions
before Congress reconvenes in January,
Palmisano explained, he would renew
plans for the investigation, and urge
House action on the resolution provid-
ing the funds.
