NEW YORK, April Is G.N.S0.
The curb market sold off abruptly
today, with a sudden rush OF
profit-taking and withdrawal OF
supporting bids in the leaders
influencing a generally re-
dictionary tone along the line.
Speculative quarters were dis
posed to regard the setback as a
Shakeout, designed to correct an
overbought condition and strength

market preparatory to a resump-
ton of the advance. Thus, there
was further buying on the receS-
Sions with the majority of
favorites turning up from their
midday lows.

points at 15.49, Swiss francs /

points at 44.5O.
Sterling sold off 212 cents to
$3.85, bringing sympathetic de-
cline in the Scandinavian ex-
changes. In financial circles it
was pointed out that the decline
IN the pound and dollar against
the gold currenCieS indicated that
suspension of the gold standard
would not be general.

ZONE COMMISSION
TO HEAR 13 PLEAS
Executive Meeting Called After
C. A. Fenning Opposes Wis
consin Avenue Change.

The Zoning Commission will hold an
executive meeting Monday afternoon
to decide upon 13 requests for changes
in zoning which were discussed at a
public hearing yesterday.
A former member of the commits
sion, Frederick A. Fenning. appeared
in opposition to one of the changes
which would have made residential a
portion of the property of his clients.
Woodward g. Parker, at Wisconsin ave-
nue. between Jenifer street and Mill
tary road
Mr. Fenning appeared fortified at the
hearing with a building permit to erect
a store on the property granted the
day before the hearing opened. He
claimed there was nothing before the
commission to decide. The store may
be erected now regardless of the change
in zoning, but it will be what IS known
as a "non-conforming USE" and may
not be substantially altered or rebuilt
after it is once put up. Should 1t be
demolished, it could not be replaced
except by residential property.
Edwin S. Hege, representing the
Chevy Chase Citizens Association, said
the compromise zoning plan worked
out by the commission, which was in
tended to preserve as far as possible
the residential features of this district
and prohibit the intrusion of unsightly
business establishments at this gateway
to the Capital, had the support Of citi-
zens in that area All contiguous
property owners, except Mr.. Jennings
clients, were in favor of the residential
zoning as proposed.

The covenant, written into deed to
a large parcel of land in 1902, forbids
erection of buildings on the property
costing less than $2,500, stipulates that
no part of any building there shall be
used for the manufacture or sale of
intoxicating liquors and provides pen
atty for the sale or leasing of any of the
property to colored persons.
The plaintiffs, through Attorney
George c. Gertman, contends the char

ACTION PROMISED
MARRIED TEACHERS
Chairman of Committee on
Their Restoration Calls
Meeting for Tomorrow.

Ways and means of returning to
their positions in the school system the
married teachers who resigned in order
to protect their husbands positions
elsewhere in the Government service,
only to find that their designations
were unnecessary, will be sought by a
special committee OF the Board OF
Education at II o'clock tomorrow
morning.
The committee. of which Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle is chairman. was prod
ded by Henry Gilligan, chairman of
the boards Legislative Committee, at
the boards meeting late yesterday when
he asked for report.
Kirk Case Is Cited.
He cited the speed with which Mrs.
Page Kirk, Western High School
teacher, was returned to her position
when it was shown that even had she
not resigned, her husbands job in the
Interior Department would not have
been jeopardized, because the economy
bred fund shortage was bridged by a
system of furloughs. Mr.. Gilligan ar
gued that dispatch was deserving in
each teachers case.
Mrs. Doyle, in reply. advised the
board that DR. Frank W. Ballou, school
superintendent, had not yet gathered
the needed facts for the consideration
of the committee. She said that the
school authorities were experiencing diff
f1culty in obtaining definite statements
on the status of the positions of school
teachers husbands or wives in the
Government service and that this. too,
was contributing to the delay. How
ever she assured the board that the
committee would meet tomorrow morn
ing and that as much of the work as
possible would be covered.
City Heads Reply Studied.
The Commissioners reply to the
School Boards request for an explana-
ton of the delay in completing repair
work at the Terrell Junior High School
was presented to the board yesterday
Engineer Commissioner John Gotwals
had pointed out to Dr. Luther Reichel-
derfer, chairman of the Board of Com
missioners, that the repairs involved
actually were major alterations. The
school authorities, he said, had asked
for them July 18.
Maj. Gotwals suggested that the
school authorities undertake to plan for
such major alterations well in advance
of the needed dates and he pointed out
that elaborate alterations of this kind
are entirely out of harmony with the
funds we are now receiving for repairs
to buildings"

70 PCT. PROPOSAL
OFFERED FRANKLIN
BANK DEPoS|T0RS
Under New Plan 10 Per Cent
More Will Be Available
in Cash.
PUSH NEGOTIATIONS
FOR EARLY OPENING
Stockholders Reported Willing to
Contribute to Restore Capital
Structure.

Depositors of the Franklin National
Bank would receive 70 per cent of their
funds under a new proposal to reopen
the bank now under consideration, it
was learned today. In the original plan
to reopen the pank. it had been agreed
that depositors were to get 80 per cent.
Meanwhile additional progress was
reported in negotiations for re-estab-
fishing the bank as a single institution
as soon as possible.
Under the original plan for reopen
ing. each depositor would have SUD-
scribed 10 per cent of his deposits 10
preferred stock in the bank With no
double liability Under the new plan
the depositor instead of having to sup,
scribe for this preferred stock Wouio
receive his 10 cents on the dollar IN
cash available in the bank instead OF
this preferred stock.
Will Receive 20 Per Cent.
Tn other words, the original plan
provided that the depositor waived 81
Der cent of his deposits to be placed
in the hands OF trustees; would ouy
nreferred stock with 10 per cent ana
receive in freed deposits upon reopen
ing of the bank 80 per cent
Under the new plan the deposltor
still would waive 80 per cent. but would
receive 10 per cent of his deposits.
Virtually all phases Of the proposal
have been agreed to, with exception
of the cash contribution which Stock
holders are expected to make 10 re-
store the capital stock OF the lnStltu-
ton.
John w Staggers, counsel for the
Depositors' Committee Of the bank ana
for John B. Cochran, president OF the
bank, said negotiations were gong
forward rapidly.
Some Differences Exist.
The stockholders, it is understood,
have been willing to contribute a Ger
tain amount to restore the capital
structure of the bank If necessary,
while it is understood that the Gov
ernment is insisting that this contrlbu-
ton is necessary.
Some differences are understood to
exist still over certain phases of the
financial set-up of the bank. For IN
stance, it was understood that real es-
tate unencumbered is listed by the
Government at S43l .435 "a, representing
the two bank buildings. AS matter
of fact. however, the bank representa-
tives point out that the buildings are
assessed at $685., ,000 Whereas the Gov
eminent has allowed nothing at all in
exceptable assets for the buildings. the
claim is made that under the Glass
Steagall bill it should be allowed at
least S225 900 on the buildings.
William F. Kelly is counsel for the
conservator Of the bank, Thomas P.
Hickman, vice president of the lnstl-
tuition.
