Reports from Across Border
Indicate Belief $1,OOO,-
600 Struggled in
Six Months
PATROL is ACTIVE
IN INVESTIGATIONS
Apparently Acting on Infor-
nation Not Previously
Known to Washington;
Only Licensed Dealers
May Handle Gold Legally
In the u. S.

Washington, Dec. 11.-(AP)-A telc-
graphic report disclosed today that
the United States apparently suspects
an organized effort to export gold
in violation of President Roosevelt's
monetary policy.
A telegram to the customs bureau
said the border patrol had cooperated
with Canadian officials in activities
to stop gold smuggling, which result
ed in the arrest in Canada of two
Americans with 100 ounce gold bar.
Customs officials declined to say
how large a gold movement might be
involved. Reports from Canada indi-
Gated a belief that $1,OO0,O0O in gold
has been smuggled across the border
i'll the last half year.
The Justice Departments bureau Of
investigation said it was without evil
dence of any large smuggling ring.
This reply indicated the border patrol
was acting on information not known
previously to Washington, for customs
officials also lacked knowledge of this
governments part in the Canadian
seizure, until they asked border agents
for a report.
Under regulations issued by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, only licensed dealers
may handle gold legally.
All other gold and gold certificates
must be turned in to the Treasury.

Washington, Dec. 11-(AP)-Scna-
tor John H. Overton, Democrat, Louis

last year, with the aid of Senator Huey

charges that the committee was par

Federal Investigators, he said,

weeks of the committees hearings
were assigned to the opposition to pro

given to me for rebuttal"
Overton sal the Senate committee

Raleigh, Dec. 11.-Automobile own.
ers in the State must show more speed
in buying their new 1884 automobile
license tags this week and next than
they have been showing if they expect
to get their new plates before Jan
uary l. Director l.. S. Harris, of the
Motor Vehicle Division of the State
Department of Revenue, said today.
Up until this morning only about 22,-
600 license plates had been sold out
of a total registration of 4O8,911 cars
in the State, leaving 386,911 automo-
bile owners who have not yet pur-
chased their new licenses, with only
18 business days for them to do so.
$50 far we have been selling only
about 5000 new licenses a day, this
figure including the sales at the SO
branch offices as we'll as those here
at the license bureau Director Har-
ris said. But in order to issue 100000
new licenses by January l, we should
sell an average of $1,000 sets of IL
cense plates a day-and we have q
staff capable of handling that many.
"But if a majority Of the automo-
bile owners wait until the last week
or ten days to purchase their new Ii
cense, it will mean that they simply
will not be able to get their license
plates by January 1, since our staff
here in Raleigh bureau and in the
branch offices over the state is not
large enough to issue $4,000 license
plates day. Our appropriation is not
large enough to enable us to put on
staff large enough to handle a de-
mand of that size. Besides, the auto
mobile owners will have had plenty OF
time to get their plates without rush
ing.

HARTMAN BANK
STILL CLOSED


Following close upon the an
nouncement that the depoSitors OF
the bankrupt Hartman National
Bank would be paid 100 cents on the
dollar, comes the announcement that
the proposed program of liquidation
has struck a snag. 1t was Secretary
Woodins plan that the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation would lend
100000 to the Manufacturers
Trust Company to permit that COM
pany to buy the assets Of the Harri-
man Bank, thus permitting liquida-
ton Of the frozen deposits.
Hartman Assets insufficient.
Closer examination, however, re-
vealed that the assets of the bank
rupt bank are far too small to pro-
vide adequate security for the loan
from the r. F. c. Some of the
claims of the bank, representing in
vestment made with depositors'
money, are against the directors of
the bank. How much can be COL
lected is not known.
Like hundreds Of other enthusiastic
announcements about the "full re-
opening" of closed banks, or the full
repayment to depositors," the plan
of Woodin turns out to be a piece of
misleading publicity to hide the fact
that thousands Of small depositors
whose savings are tied up will lose
most of these deposits, and that the
bank crisis has not been in any way
relieved by the Roosevelt bank mea-
slires.
In addition to the losses of the
depositors, there is also involved in
this bankruptcy the New York City
Firemens Pension Fund amounting
to $500, 900.
