which they were conducted by Mr..

AT the same time let us not forget
that all 'goldbricker5' in America were
not on the veterans list
IF there is going to be economy in
America at the expense of the veteran,
then let's have some economy in other
places where it is worse needed.

HITS
BOY CAMP FOES

Though commissioners of Mont
gomery county, Md, are said to
disapprove the establishment of
a camp for homeless boys at
Mount Beall, on a tract of land
given by Mrs. Eleanor Patterson,
editor of the Washington Herald,
Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford,
originator of the project, intends
to go right ahead. He said last
night:
"There has usually been op-
position to such camps. Au-
thOrities fear the men in them
may become public charges,
and adjoining property owners
are apt to worry over the pros
pect. Experience, viewer,
proves this worry unfOunded.
Camps run properly have been
self-suppOrting and usually
prove of benefit to the COM
munity in which they are or
ganiZed."
General Glassford's idea is to
set up a number of camps all
over the country, with the one
near Washington as a model. In
these camps he will give "disin-
herited youth its chance to come
back"

100000 SLASH
IS BELIEVED
POSSIBLE
Three Salaries Paid to Byrd
Not Emphasized at Hear
ing at Annapolis

The University of Maryland
can not meet payments on the
mems field house because boxing
there, which had been counted
on to bring in much revenue,
was prohibited by Prince Georges
county officials.
At any rate, that is the reason
advanced by H. c. (Curly) Byrd.
vice president, head football
coach and athletic director of
the school, who with President
Raymond A. Pearson appeared
yesterday before the State senate
finance committe at Annapolis
in hearing on the university's
budget.
Hearing Held In Secret
The committees hearing was
secret because "some things
could be discussed more freely
in executive session. Chairman
Lansdale G. Sasscer and eight
members of the committee agreed
beforehand to an open hearing,
and this was satisfactory to the
two university officials, but at
the last moment the star cham
ber session was ordered.
In addition to Byrd's explana-
ton of why the university is ask
ing the State legislature to meet
$4,000 obligations of the athletic
house due in August, it was
learned that the committee, in
examining details of the schools
budget, did not emphasize Or con-
centrate on any item, not even
the three salaries, totaling $11,500,
paid to Byrd.
Committee To Act Later
The questioning of President
Pearson and Byrd had no definite
results, the information being
tabulated for committee action
later.
Walter N. Kirkman, director of
the budget, was present to answer
any questions asked him, but took
no part in the questioning.
The committee members are di-
vided on how much can be slashed
from the university's $2,333, 800
biennial budget. Some committee
members believe 100000 can be
slashed from the school expendi-
lures safely.

For Bank Supervision

BALTIMORE, Feb. 16.-In a
report submitted by the banking
commission of Maryland to Gov
ernor Ritchie, and under consid-
Grafton today, the governor is
asked to establish an advisory
bank board with even greater
powers than the State bank COM
missioner, and with authority to
supervise State banks and inquire
into their management.
Ritchie appointed the commits
sion last year to study Maryland's
banking laws and recommend i'm
provements.
Quick Action Asked
The commission urges that the
present session of the legislature
do these things to relieve bank
conditions:
Eliminate a banks right to
lend money on it's own capital
stock or to buy such stock, ex-
cept to prevent loss.
Further limit the amount that
can be loaned to any one firm,
person or corporation.
Strengthen present provisions
governing loans by a bank to
it's directors, officers or en-
ployes.
Provide a definite method for
reopening a bank, or establish

closing.

Would Continue Study
The Banking Commission also
recommended that it be given
the power to continue a study of
the banking situation in Mary
land and make a detailed report
to the next legislature. AS al
tentative, it is suggested that a
new commission be appointed,
and suggested the following sub

Whether banks of the State
should be permitted to have
investment affiliates.
Investment in stock of other
institutions.
Limitation of the percentage
of capital and surplus OF a
bank that may be invested in
its bank buildings, and pos
sibly limit to be loaned on
