 President Roosevelt in a public statement calling upon the nation to ''unite in banishing fear" prom ised that the reopened banks twill meet all needs"
 The lid remains clamped down tight on release of funds for hoard ing. By order of Secretary of Treasury Woodin, withdrawals of deposits are limited to the funds needed for normal business and necessary personal expenditures.
 "The first duty of the banks re- opening under the license of the secretary of the treasury for the performance of their usual func- tions is to see that the primary needs of the people for the neces- saries of life and normal business Undertakings are met" Woodin an- nounced.
 ' Accordingly, withdrawals for the secretary of the treasury rules that until more normal conditions have been established, transfers of funds by banks or their customers will be limited to necessary pur- poses"
 New York. Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Richmond, St Louis, Kan sas City, Dallas, Cleveland, Chica- go. Minneapolis and San Francisco are the 12 cities in which licensed banks were permitted to resume business to-day. Treasury and fed eral reserve officials passed on the fitness of federal reserve member banks in these cities to reopen. State authorities were certifying state banks in those cities.
 Private banks such as J. F. Nor gan & Co, not members of the re- seSve system or under the immedi- ate supervision of any state author ity, also were permitted to reopen to-day when not barred by state re- structions.
 Secretary Woodin further au- thorized the following institutions to reopen this morning: All federal reserve banks and their branches. federal land banks. federal inter- mediate credit banks, joint stock land banks. federal home loan banks. regional agricultural credit corporations and the Reconstruc- ton Finance corporation.
 Certified banks in about 25O cit les in which there are organized clearing houses may resume busi- ness Tuesday. On Wednesday and thereafter banks in all other cities and towns will reopen as fast as federal and state officials certify their soundness and relax present state restrictions.
 ''I know that many people are worrying about state banks not members of the federal reserve sys- stem," President Roosevelt said. These banks can and will receive assistance from member banks and from the Reconstruction Finance scorporation.

 The banks are fully aware of the hardship and inconvenience caused to depositors during this energency, and are deeply appre- ciative of the splendid spirit in which this hardship has been el- dnred.

 Local banks expressed the hope that the word would be forthoom- ing from Hartford terminating the banking holiday and permitting the various institutions to reopen In this city for general business. Rather than preparing for rush of withdrawals bankers expressed confidence today that hundreds of new deposits would be opened and that thousands of dollars taken out and put in safe deposit boxes would be returned to be credited as saw tngs. The anti-hoarding act and the reported plan of the govern ment to check up on persons oFed- tied with having gold or gold cur. rency in their possession or hav- ing made big withdrawals lately have caused many to reconsider their plans and to enter into the general spirit of cooperation.
 The Chamber of Commerce's plan to issue checks of small dee nominations to it's members fs still being held in abeyafice. The situa- ton is improving nicely without any more substitute plans being adopted.
 The following statement was is- sued today by z, the Waterbury Clearing House association:
 1. The clearing house urges that checks be used in all trans actions when it is reasonably pos- sible, both because of the conven- fence and for the purpose of min- imizing the use of currency.
 2. The public's attention Is par ticuarly called to the fact that the restrictions on the payment of cur rency by the banks, imposed by the secretary of the treasury, are still in full force and effect, and that the officers and directors of the banks are held to strict accounts bility to see that regulations are observed. Therefore, those desiring currency are asked to keep their demands at the lowest possible transa ction of their affairs.

Another Shock Hit
 Long Beach To-day
Los Angeles, March 13-(UP)-
tContinued from Page l,

Los Angeles, March 13-(UP)- Southern California, emerging from the terror and desolation of a major disaster, was able to ap- proximate for the first time to-day the staggering cost of an earth quake that spread death in a score of towns and cities.
 The list of fatalities from Friday nights shocks lowered around 135 as authorities began checking in- dividuals reported missing or un- accounted for. So great was the confusion that coroner's deputies had conflicting lists of victims.
 As reports of wrecking crews reached headquarters in the stricken districts, the possibility developed that composite property losses might reach $60,000,000 in the 400 square miles visited by the tremor.
 This was almost ten times initial

 pr Decker said there was no epi- demic of any kind in Long Beach or surrounding territory.
 T regret very much that some sources. :. have seen fit to declare that epidemics of one kind or an- other are raging or threatened" he said. This is not the case, and there appears to be no danger that the situation will get out of hands,"
 Damage estimates were compiled by the United Press today from the following sources:
 Long Beach--Charleg s. Hender- son, reconstruction dictator, wired Governor James Rolph at Sacra- mento asking the legislature to ap- ,propriate $500,000 for emergency food supplies.
 D. W. Pontius, president of the Pacific Electric railway and mem Der of the governors disaster-re- lief committee, estimated property damage at $25,000,000. Later Hen derson said current estimates ranged to $50,O00,00O."
 Board of education telegraphed the Reconstruction Finance corpo- ration an appeal for a million-d doll ar loan to- rebuild the school sys- tenn alone. Appeal denied.
 Long Beach Press-Telegram sur- veyed the suburban area and esti- mated additional damage at $10,- s00,000. Conservative estimate of total Long Beach damage $40.- 000,000.
 Other estimates, with the sources from which the United Press ob- tained the figures:
 Huntington Park = $2,500,000. Stephen F. O'Donnell, publisher of the Signal.
 Compton = (practicall wiped out)-$2,000,000. Civic and police authorities.

FOUR BRITISH
 SUBJECTS WERE UNDER ARREST
British Ambassador at Moscow Has Asked Russia to Explain About the Recent Attack

Moscow, March 1s--(UP)--The British Ambassador at Moscow has asked the Russian foreign office for an explanation of the sensational arrests of four British subjects, imprisoned by secret police on charges as yet not revealed. The men, officials of the powerful Metropolitan ,vickers Company, were taken into custody by the O.. c. F. U. They are Alan Monk house, William H. Thornton, John Cushny and William Mcdonald.
 Homes of the men were ran- sacked, and their offices searched. Documents were removed from the offices and four Russian employees were arrested. Other offices of the firm at Leningrad were searched, and papers confiscated there, but no arrests were made.

 The composite loss figure, grow ing hourly as more detailed re- ports came in from ravased cities. increased the task facing local and governmental officials entrusted with the task of reha abiiitation.
 Their problem was the more acute because of the national financial crisis, and the fact that southern California at the moment was unable to help itself through banking channels.

 Several groups of gypsies have been parked in various parts of the city, using the limited facilities of stores for household purposes. Some of the men are posing as tin- smiths, coppersmiths. or general all-around workmen. But they never work. The women are phrenologists, but specialize in solving love riddles, locating miss- ing husbands or wives, telling the secrets of Wall street or whatever a customer would like to hear a. bout. Usually bank roll instead of a modest quarter or fifty-cent piece is needed to complete charms"
 While working or waiting for work the gypsies iolate the tene- mient house acts by huddling fam flies into places intended as stores. Superintendent Mclean will invoke the sanitary code to have the gypsies ordered out. Unless they take to the trail today warrants will be served.

THE LONG. LONG TRAIL

GODDARD KING, author of "The
Long, Long Trail, has gone down the
trail about which he caused millions of
persons to sing. Death claimed him at
his home in Spokane on Tuesday, follow
ing months Of illness with sleeping sick
ness.
Although an accomplished columnist,
Kings fame is due to his song. which
proved to be one of the most popular of
Americas war tunes.
Like so many others to which Ameri-
cas- warriors have marched, it was not a
war song. 1t was a sentimental ballad,
with sentimental words and an air that
was easy to sing The last feature was due
in great measure to the songs populari-
~.
Although known before the war start
edit was written in 1913-it was not
until millions of Yankee soldiers and
sailors sang it in camp, in barracks, on
the march and one the sea, that it swept
the country. 1t is sung over and over
again at every reunion of eX-servicemen,
and is one of the first to be called for
when community singing is in order.
THE Long, Long Trail" is one of those
peculiar tunes without any particular
p,erit to distinguish it from hundreds of
other popular songs which are written,
yet possessing that indefinable some
thing, that makes it popular. Many
who can hardly carry tune willingly
join in trying to sing it.
As long as we hold memories of the
World war, 1.-THE Long, Long Trail will
be a constant reminder of the Yankee
boys who left their homes to its strains,
many of them never to return. Kings
name NAV he forpotten but "The Long
Long Trail will live for many year.
President Roosevelt used eight pens to

when signing, in order to provide suffi-
cient souvenirs.

sage of the controversial senate
constitutional amendment No. 80,
the so-called Riley-Stevar tax
plan, would reduce taxes to be
raised by California counties $751;
Gil, 435, according to an estimate
prepared by the state department
of public works.
One of the important provisions
OF the plan proposes the substitu-
ton of state payments for the
constitutionally required county
school tax revenues or matching
funds.
BY the elimination of these taxes,
it is estimated the school taxes of
Imperial county could be lowered in
the sum of $435, 337.76 for a reduce
ton in the general county tax rate
of S1.18.
Enactment of the proposed
amendment, said a department
statement, "would not affect the
status of existing legislation re-
quiring the levy of county school
taxes for the inexperienced ele-
mentary and high school funds, nor
would it deprive boards of supervis-
ors of the right to levy county
school taxes for apportionment to

Uncle Wiggily had made the pop

had let Billie take it to school, but
Billie shot the toy and knocked the
tail ribbon off the Lady Mouse
Teacher. She kept him in until the
rabbit gentleman hoped along and
asked Miss Mouse to let him take
Billie on hunting trip.
All of a Sudden. as the two were
crossing a meadow field, Billie look

saw lovely chocolate cake on a
