BANK REFORM BILL FACES
HOUSE DELAY
Goldsborough, Maryland, To
Oppose Branch Banking
And Move To Add
Imitation Plan


Washington, Jan. 26--Slight
possibility of enactment Of the
Glass Banking Reform bill was
seen tonight after a statement
by Chairman Steagall, of the
House Banking Committee,
that the measure involves
nighly controversial provisions
and would require much con-
sideration.
Speaker Garner said the
measure would be referred to.
the Steagall committee and
added, "if we can get report
from the Banking Committee
on the Glass bill, we may pos
sibly get it before the House :"
He stressed that sit is worthy
of very careful consideration"
Steagall recalled that several
emergency measures ''includ-
ing legislation for the relief of
farmers in danger of losing
their lands and homes through
mortgage foreclosures were
being considered ahead of the
Glass measure.
GOldsbOrOugh Attacks Bill
Further complicating the
chances for the bill was an an
nouncement by Representative
Peterborough (Dem., Md that
he would move in committee
not only to strike out its pro-
vision for branch banking, but
to add an amendment prohibit
ing any new branch, chain or
group-banking operations, he
said today.
He will move, also, he said,
to have. his imitation bill, pass
ed by the House at the last ses-
sion, tackled on the Glass bill
as an amendment.
His proposed amendment, he
said, will follow the lines of a
bill he introduced in 1881. 1t
would direct the Secretary of
the Treasury, by the issuance
of additional currency backed
up by Government bonds which
would be brought in, to bring
wholesale commodity prices to
the 1929 average and stab
ilize them at that level.
Wants Initiation Included
Commenting on his purpose
of moving for the inclusion of
provisions of the Peterborough
imitation bill in the Glass bill,
he said:
"The pressure is much great
er now than when the Colds
borough bill was passed last
year. If the Glass bill is re-
turned to the Senate with the
dollar sterilization bill as an
amendment, / feel confident it
will be accepted by the Sen
ate"
Outlining his opposition tc'
branch banking, Goldsborough
said:
Suppose in the county
where live the banks were
merely branches of a larger in
stitution in Baltimore, Phila-
delphia or New York. Sup
pose they simply had an agent
in my county, with a certain
amount of currency to cash
checks, receive deposits and
send application for loans to
the home institution.
Means Control OF Credit
"Give me control of the cred
it of a community and l will
control every activity in tit
makes no difference what it is.
''This attempt to monopolize
the credit of the country
means, among other things,
the metropolitan centers will
control the legislatures of the
States. They will control them
through their control of credit,
and the representation in the
State legislatures from the ru-
raj communities will diminish

may yet come out Of the whole
thing.
It's getting a bit irkSome to
hear so many of them admit the
war debts have no place in these

they must be settled before any
thing else can be done. 1t is
said they can't pay because they
haven't money and haven't money
because they have no business.

SAYS MITCHELL
SUGGESTED
TAX DODGE

NEW YORK, June IA G.N.S0. d.
Charles E. Mitchell, chairman Of
the National City Company, sug-
geSted to the board of directors
on December 80, 1929, that the
sums received from the man
agement fund" by officers be
treated as advances" Hugh B.
Baker, former president of the
company, today testified at the
income tax evasion trial of the
resigned head of the National
City Bank.
Mitchell, as his share of the
1929 management fund.-" re-
ceived $666, ,666 in July. He omit
ted the sum from his 1929 income
tax return. The defendant claims
it was not income but money to
be repaid out of future accruals
of the management fund, accord
ing to a resolution passed at the
December, 1929, meeting of the
board.
Device" Is Charge
The Government charges this
resolution was a device, forced
through by Mitchell, to avoid pay
ment of income tax.
Baker, who received $22O,OOo
from the fund, also omitted the
amount from his income tax.
The witness said that in his
discussions with Mitchell before
the December meeting, he was told
Of the plan for receipts to be is
sued to officers participating in
the distribution from the fund
for signatures.
United States Attorney George
z. Medalie read from the private
examination of the witness to
show he had said he knew Of the
receipts " a week or 10 days" be-
fore signing one.
Given Highest Rating
Baker was temporarily excused
from the stand, to permit Jackson
Reynolds, president of the First
National Bank of New York City,
to testify as a character witness
for Mitchell. Reynolds is sailing
for Europe tonight.
Reynolds gave the defendant the
highest rating for honesty, integ-
rity and veracity.

WALKER FEARS FOR U. S. AT PARLEY

diSpleaSed others. There are still
some who hold that your over
production of commodities drag
ged them into difficulties.
It begins to look, however, as
though the undisclosed plot of
the show is to ditch the war
debts.
Strange to say, however,
Premier Daladier, the spokesman
of France, made no reference
whatsoever to the subject. The
French appear to have settled it
some time ago without the neces-
Sity of a conference. They just
dismissed the nasty little matter
from their minds like the Irish
man who gave a promissory note
and said:
THANK God that bills paid"
But don't let's give overmuch
attention to those oratorical
splashes nor should all those who
turn an anxious eye and hopeful
face to this international peace
altar be discouraged.
It may be just a lot Of political
bunk. Almost every delegate here
has a job he wants to hold or
has his eye on a job he would
like to hold. So perhaps they
have to make speeches for home
consumption and tell their
countrymen they have been
abused if not martyred.
Must Find an Alibi
So to relieve themselves OF
responsibility and criticism of
their official mistakes they must
find a alibi.
Up to now it's just a buck

end. But when their chests are

TORECASTING another active

tional Capital, again to be
marked by inter-city, inter-club
and tournament competition sur
passing the activities of the male
golfers, the Executive Commit
tee of the Women's District Golf
Association is to meet tonight at
the home of Miss Elizabeth C..
Harris, newly elected president.
1t will go over the tentative schedule
of Journeys for 1888 and proceed to-
ward final arrangement of the most
comprehensive schedule ever arranged
for the fair golfers Of the city. The
growth of interest in womens golf
around Washington has been pherom-
enal over the last half-dozen years. Six
or seven years ago only a corporals S
guard turned out for the big events. In
those days the slogan Of the women
seemed to be- I'VE have no chance, SO
why play?'
DUT for the last three or four years,
- by a modern system of graded
handicapS, kept strictly UP to date
through contacts at the various clubs,
this mental attitude toward the tourna-
ments has been changed until even the
minor tournaments nova days have
entries running up to SO and so women.
The larger tournaments have had entry
lists OF 100 and more and interest still
continues to grow until the day may
come when the size of the women s
events may parallel those of the men.
Much of the credit for the growth of
interest in women's golf has come
through the efforts of such leaders as
Mrs. Frank r. Keefer. until recently
president of the association; Mrs. j
Marvin Haynes, former chairman of
the Tournament Committee; Mrs. Frank
Gross, Mrs Jerome Meyer, Mrs. Harry
A. Knox, Mrs Alma Won STEINER and
others whose missionary" work has
resulted not only in added interest but

slated to become chairman of the i'm
portant Tournament Committee of the
District association. A schedule of the
larger tournaments, including the inter-
club and inter-city events, is to be
drawn up. The wonen's District cham
pionship, blue ribbon event OF the local
season for the feminine club-swingerS
about the Capital, is to be played in
May, either at Kenwood, Beaver Dam
or Army-Navy.
This tournament for the champion
ship now held by Mrs Dorothy White
Nicolson has been held at all the other
clubs, and none OF the three mentioned
having held it, one of them now is in
line for the event Last year it was
played at Manor The competition for

larger medal play events, probably will
be played at Congressional on June
date The schedule-makers have left
date in October tentatively open for
the playing of the Middle Atlantic wom-
ems title event, for the championship
now held by Mrs. Haynes.
THE usual extensive schedule of inter
i club matches, which keep the fair
golfers busy playing matches be-
tween the several clubs during May
June and July, will be resumed again
this year, with first and second teams
again participating in the contests. The
inter-club matches last year found Co
lumbia's first team victorious, while the
team of the Army-Navy Country Club
won in the competition for second
teams. The first team Of the Army
Navy Club may be strengthened this
year by the addition of Mrs. D. H.
Clarke, Virginia State women's title
holder, whose husband, naval officer,
is scheduled to be detailed to Wash
ington within few months.
Intercity matches with Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Richmond again are to
be played this year II negotiations now
being carried on are successful. The
Middle Atlantic tourney probably will be
played at Richmond, city which never
has held the event since it was inaugu-
rated. in 1926. Major events staged by
the Women's District Association in
clude the following: The women's Dis
trict championship, The Star Cup tour
ney. the Herald Cup event, the Times
Cup tourney for higher-handicap play
ers. the Corby Cup event and the inter-
club matches. In addition to these
handicap tournaments are held prac-
tically every week during the playing
season, which opens in May.

ONE of the rare eagles being made
- these midWinter days, when golf
courses are soft and soggy and the
ball flies only limited distance, was
bagged yesterday at Washington by
Davie Thomson, the club professional.
Dave put together two pin-splitting
wooden club shots on the 485-yard
fourth hole laying his second shot
within eight feet Of the pin. He rolled
the putt in for the eagle 3. Al Hough-
ton, who was playing with Dave, missed
an eagle by inches ON the lengthy
fifteenth hole after reaching the green
with two mighty wallops.
Holes which ordinarily play as drive
and medium iron holes in Summer now
play as two full wooden shots for most
golfers these days. But have you, Mr..
Golfer, taken advantage of the Spring.
