BANK DEPOSIT
Guarantee Board Is Estab-
lished

Washington.-Org of the
board of the Federal Insurance Cor
poration, which will set up fund to
guarantee deposits of banks which can
qualify for admission, took place here.
Walter j. Cummings, of Chicago, as
chairman, and E. G. Bennett, of Utah,
and j. F. T. O'Connor, controller Of
the currency, were sworn into office.
The first step will be the prepara-
tion of regulations, following which
there will be a nationwide examina-
tion of banks to determine their eli
gbility.
The board issued the following
statement: "The insurance deposit
feature of the banking act of 1888
provides that the assets of the apply
ing bank shall be adequate to enable
| it to meet all of its liabilities to de-
positors and other creditors"
The federal law for the guarantee
of bank deposits was enacted by the
last session Of congress. 1t was sup
ported by the American Federation Of
Labor as a necessary measure to pro;
tect millions of depositors from los
| ing their savings through the ras-
cality and ineffcency of the bank
ers.

1t may be out on the mid-Atlantic
wastes
Or perhaps the hot coasts and in
terror of Africa may be the starter.
A few more years of inquisitive
watching
AS they learn more about what they
are looking for
And they may be spotting the
whence it cometh. +. ;"
fThey are getting pretty good now
about whittier it goeth."
Perhaps Mark Twain meant moth
ing could be done about it this after
noon.
These longtime - long distance
trends were not known then.
There are some long time weather
trends still beyond us.
Take the cycles of the glacial eras
for instance.
These take account of the shifting
of the magnetic poles
The fact that tropical vegetation is
found under arctic SHOWS
The piles of gravel ground up and
left by glacial moraines-
Astronomical records and calcula-
tions affecting earth's changing place
among the other planets.
You may say that these have to do
with climate
Yes-but climate is only accumu-
lated weather.
We have some economic Mark
Twains among US.
They tell US we must not talk about
some things;
That natural laws" govern the
price of pork and wheat;
And any interference will bring the
cosmic economics crashing about our
ears.
They would have US believe that
some things are fixed
BY which they mean that these can
not be moved
"As fixed as the stars in their
courses s"-they would say.
Well--we know that the moon has
changes;
That this old earth is in a constant
state of fiux and shifting;
That new stars are being discover
ed almost every night;
And the Einsteins tell us that the
whole stellar business is relative"
Even these same gentlemen are
being moved
Off to one side, by themselves.

FIRST MONTH
Codes Bring Drop in Hours
Increase in Wages

| Washington, D. C. ILNS)-With
only a few major industries under
codes in August, it is possible to show
now something of their effect in
shorter hours and higher wages, in
| the industries affected. Twenty per
| cent of all the manufacturing estab-
lishments reporting, or 3,776 estab-
lishments, showed a total increase of
S12, 100000 in wage rates, and drop
! in time worked from 42.3 hours to
1876 hours in the 80 industries cover
cred by the survey. In this there is
also felt the effect of the blanket
codes.
Industries under the codes showed
following drop in labor hours: Cot
ton industry, from 49 hours to 36.5;
woolen and worsteds, 48.5 to dip;
shipbuilding, 1876 to 30.3; electrical
machinery, 38.1 to 35.4; women's
clothing, 38.9 to 351; and corsets and
allied garments, 1913 to 1913 hours.
Increases in wages in the same in
dustries showed: Cotton goods, from
23.2 cents per hour to 36.1 cents;
woolens and worsteds, 35.8 to 43.3;
shipbuilding, from 56.4 to Git; cleo

GOTHAM PAINTERS
WIN STRIKE

New York City (ILNS)-A wage
increase was granted and overtime
abolished by settlement which end
ed strike Of $1,000 painters in Man
haitian, Brooklyn and the Bronx. The
settlement was made through Grover
Whalen, chairman of the local MIRA
organization.
Under the agreement, which was
approved by employers and workers,
the painters are given a 35-hour and
an increase of 81 day over the old
rate of So. Decision on the matter of
overtime work was left with Whalen,
who ruled in favor of the strikers on
the ground that abolition of overtime
work to reduce hours and spread en-
ployment was a cardinal feature of
the whole recovery act program.

COMMUNITY CHESTS
Ask Seventy-Three Millions
For Next Year


Washington. the winter
with millions of destitute jobless
workers and their families menaced
with suffering throughout the United
States, total of $73,000,O0O, equal
to the 1929 Community Chest budget,
was agreed on as the required sum
for 1894 at the final session here Of
the conference on human needs.
Restoration of hospital, child well
fare, character building and other
social services, curtailed in recent
years to meet relief demands which
now have been assumed by the federal
and state governments, are the main
features Of the 1884 budget policy.
In suggesting that the 1929 budget
be considered as an adequate and also
the minimum standard for the coming
year, Arch Mandel, executive secre-
tary of the Dayton, Ohio, Community
Chest, stated that in spite of the fact
| that 95 per cent of the relief load had
been taken over by the government,
community welfare would require
more funds in 1884 than in the pres
ent year.
| Hospitals on Last Legs"
Hospitals are now on their last
legs, with free care increasing" he
continued. "Children's agencies are
forced to carry a greater financial
burden because of the increased num-
ber of children in their care. Charac-
ter building work and leisure-time ca
tivities, because of the shortened
working day and the large number of
people still unemployed, have become
even more necessary than in prosper
Gus years"
Allen T. Burns, executive director
of Community Chests and Councils,
told the delegates that while hospi-
tails and charitable or social welfare
organizations were not obliged to sign
Presidents Roosevelt's unemployment
agreement, he hoped that all institu-
tons able to do so would live up to
the rules laid down by the national
recovery administration.

Mark Twain said that nothing could
be done about the weather, anyway
Therefore, there was no use talking
about it.
Until you begin to think about the
Weather Bureau,
And the supposed effects of refor-
estration,
And these rather marvellous fore
casts of hurricanes.
The Galveston walls stop nc

But it helps to affect matters be-

May we not consider the forest

They certainly modify the waves of

Humidity is affected by the great

Flood control by afforestation is not
only on the land.
Weather conversations-an some
other things
Started this whole business of re-
planting the trees.
We shall probably continue to talk
about the weather.
The weather men had Scripture
against them at first.
That was especially true about the
hurricanes.
"Thou can'st not tell whence it
cometh-."
There were no telegraph systems
when that was first said.
And now the radio extends the pos
sibilities-endlessly.
Their word is gone out, even unto
the uttermost parts ;"
The weather men admit they don't
know all about it yet.
They are not sure just where the

HUGH s. JOHNSON
 MAY BE GUIDE
 DEVELOPMENT
Industrialist and Soldier, Who MObilized Men and Machines in W0r Id War, Seems Choice

Washington, May 19-(UP)- Hugh s. Johnson, industrialist and soldier who had a dominant part in mobilizing men and machines to meet the World war crisis, was viewed to-day as President Roose- velt's choice to guide the nations battle against the enemy of unem- ployment. Although White House aides asserted no definite selection had been made for the post of ad- ministrator of the new public works and industrial stabilization plan, MT Roosevelt was reported ready to entrust the job to Johnson if he would accept. Formal ap- pointment will await passage of the bill.
 Johnson was considered logi- cal choice for the position. He helped frame the bill which would give the government power to as- sist and to enforce industrial agreements to spread employment and equalize profits, as well as to put vast numbers of the unen- ployed to work on public projects. To the task of helping set up this American ''two-year plan" John- son brought wide experience as manufacturer, as author and d1- rector of the World war; selectlve draft, as originator of the army's wartime division of purchase and traffic, and as a member of the war industries board.

INSURANCE FOR
 DEPOSIT0RS IN
 ALL THE BANKS
Senate Is Fighting That Problem Out To-day and Plan May Be AdOpt= ed Before Night

Washington, May 19-UP)-A bipartisan drive began in the sen- ate today to broaden the Glass bill to provide insurance for de- positors' funds in all banks regard less of whether they are members of the federal reserve system, and to make the protection immediate.
 The senate agreed to interrupt at ? D. m., the impeachment trial of Federal Judge Harold Louder back, and to take up the Glass bill. The trial will be resumed tomor- row.
 Half dozen insurance plans are being developed. Most of them propose 100 per cent immediate in surance of deposits up to $250O. The Glass bill would insure depos- it's 100 per cent up to $10,OO0; 70 per cent up to S5O,000 and 50 per cent over $50,000. But the insur- ance would not be effective until July l. 1884. Neither would it em- brace state banks not federal re- serve members.
 Informed senators said President Roosevelt would veto any bill pro- viding immediate deposit insur- ance. The administration attitude toward the Glass bill as a whole is doubtful, and the fate of the measure depends entirely on MT Roosevelt's willingness to use his influence for favorable action.
 Senator Vandenberg, repn., Mich. is leading the republican bloc which seeks immediate insurance protection for all depositors. Sena- tors McAdoo, dem., Calif., George. dem., Ga, Long, dem., La., and others comprise the democratic im- mediate insurance group.
 Vandenberg's plan would insure depositors up to s2500 in all l- censed federal reserve member banks which could present cer- tificate of solvency from state. bank 
 ITO leave the state banks out of an insurance scheme would be Vandenberg told the United Press. Tt would be the most def1atinoary step ever taken"
 Vandenberg's bill would create a temporary federal deposit in- surance fund" effective for one year, after which the insurance plan in the Glass bill would sup plant it. Resources of the Van- bill would be as follows:
 1. A mandatory levy on banks of one-half of one per cent of their insured deposits.
 2. A discretionary levy of an equal percentage if additional in- surance funds were needed.
 3. Federal treasury underwrit- ing of any deficiency.
 If the treasury was compelled to pay out any funds, it would be reimbursed over 10 years by an- nual assessments against insured banks.
 The amendment would forbid payment of more than 2 1-2 per cent interest by banks upon in- sured deposits.

RIDLEY MURDER TRAGEDY TURNS
 TO NEW ANGLE
Two Accountants Arrest ed and Charged With Forging Will to Benefit Secretary

New York, May 19-CUP)-An- other bizarre element entered the murders of Edward A. Ridley. mill lionaire recluse, and Leon Vein stein, the second of his slain scc- retaries, when police to-day ar rested two men charged with aid- ing Weinstein to defraud the near ly blind octogenarian of more than $20O,OO0.
 The men-both accountants were traced through a forged will found among the 5000 pounds of old records and documents piled in the subterranean office where Ridley and Weinstein were killed last week. The will mentioned a $200,000 bequest to Weinstein-a legacy that puzzled police since Herman Moench, the first secre- tary murdered two years ago had been treated with extreme parsi- mony. Further investigation by a squad of 65 detectives disclosed that Weinstein, despite his S35 a week salary, lived lavishly and a check he issued for an expensive automobile was traced to a dummy corporation.
