Sinking OF DUTIES
is LAID TO BANKERS
Senator George Declares
Financial Houses Must
Supply Credit.

BY the Associated Press.
American bankers are charged by
Senator Walter F. George, Democrat, of
Georgia, with shirking their RESPONSE
bility, and warned by him that unless
they functioned, the people would make
the Government provide a banking
system.
George contended to the Senate yes
terday that by their philosophy" of
not investing unless a business were
absolutely profitable in fullest sense,
the bankers were preventing dollars
from going to work to help offset the
emergency.
Il think" he said, that there will
be no real return to a normal prosper
Gus condition in the United States un-
til we somehow find a banker who has
the sense to see that the character of
the merchant, the character of the
small manufacturer, the character OF
the professional man is yet good secur-
ity if banking is to be carried on in a
sensible, normal way
Criticized Those in Control.
His criticism, made in debating the
$500, 100000 administration unemploy-
mcnt relief bill, was explained by him
as not directed at all bankers, but
those bankers who control our system
very largely"
How will enterprise become profit
able unless the bankers help to make
it profltab,c?" George continued. Does
he net owe some obligation to the busl-
ness of this country? Is there not some
responsibility on the American banker?"
Every privilege" George said, had
been extended to the bankers by the
Government, adding:
I'VE have granted almost any power
that seemed to be reasonable and de-
fensible in an effort to help the banks
in this emergency. Are they open fol-
the single purpose of drawing through
the pipelines we have constructed the
balance of the money of the American
taxpayers or are they open to meet
the legitimate and conservative de-
mands of honest and courageous
Americans?
People Demand Credit.
eff the banking system. which we
have built up does not understand and
appreciate the necessity of furnishing
credit where credit may be legitimately
extended and upon security which is
safe whatever may be said about
a unified system of banking our banks
must be prepared to accept the decision
CT the American people to have some
form of credit and some form of serv-
ice.
THE Government will go further and
further into business. We may regret
it. we may all deplore it, but never
theless We will not escape it,"

REGULATION HOLDS
DEPOSITS IN BANKS
Special Order From Con-
troller Required to Per-
NIT Withdrawals.

In answer to continued flood of in
quiries to closed local banks concerning
the possibility of Withdrawals under
the much discussed regulation 80 issued
recently by the Secretary of the Treas
ury, conservstors of these banks today
further explained their refusal to allow
Withdrawals by pointing to official word
received today from the Federal Re-
serve Bank at Richmond.
The official copy Of this regulation
was received by all local banks, mem
bers of the Federal Reserve System,
in the hands of conservators.
Up to Controller.
1t was pointed out by conservators
that this regulation provides for such
limited banking functions as may be
authorized in accordance with law by
the controller of the currency in the
case of national banks, or by the ap-
propriate State officials in the case of
State member banks
:; In the District, it was explained
the controller. of the currency by
all banks and banking institutions
Thirteen local banks which did not
reopen are still in the hands of con-
servators, and have not yet been granted
specific authority by the controller.
Such specific permission would have to
be granted before the conservators could
act, even under regulation 80, they point
out, to receive or pay out deposits other
than special trust fund deposits
These explanations were made by
representative conservators today in
view of the fact that inquiries and
telephone calls continued to food the
banks to know why accounts are not
yet open to Withdrawals.
Bank Pays 80 Per Cent.
In the meantime the Departmental
Bank, which is In the hands of a re-
ceiver this morning began paying out
dividend checks to about 200 persons
who did not get their dividends in the
original payment. AS explained by w.
B. Altman, receiver of the bank, this
supplementary dividend does not
mean that persons receiving one pay
ment now will get another.
The Departmental Bank will be open
until 10 o'clock tonight for the con-
venience of persons who found it i'm
possible to get to the bank during
regular office hours during the day.
The dividend checks are based on pay
ments OF 20 per cent of deposits.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, March 3l.--A court
order throwing the $4,000, 900 American
Bank and Trust Co. of Richmond into
receivership was vacated by Judge
Julien Gum in City Circuit Court last
night, after a hearing in which the
city of Richmond, officials of the bank
and the Richmond Clearing House As
sociation protested the order
A motion in behalf Of j. A. Sale, jr.,
Sdepositor, for appointment of re-
ceiverS, was continued by Judge Gum
until 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Earlier yesterday Judge Gum granted
the petition that receivers be appointed
and had named T. Kearney Vertner,
banker, and Sherlock Bronson, attor-
ney, to act as receivers.
Questions Soundness.
Sale in his petition asserted that the
bank could not discharge Nall It's OBJ
legations to depositors even If 1t secured
q Federal loan.
The city of Richmond, with 1851 900
deposited in the bank, which has been
closed since the national bank holiday
was declared, asserted in a petition that
receivership would result diSastrously

to the citizens thereof, respectively"
Similarly the Clearing House Associa-
ton urged a vacating Of the receiver
ship in the best interests of depositors,
creditors and others, pending negotia-
tons looking to reorganization of the
institution
Counsel for the bank argued that a
receivership would penalize citizens
who had deposited $500000 in special
trust accounts since the bank was
closed. This view was shared by Max
well Wallace, counsel for the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond. -
Charges Loss of Assets.
One Of Sales allegations was that
two loans contracted by the bank caused
it to lose control of approximately 3d.
100000 of its prime assets. Counsel for
the bank told Judge Gum that it
would not accept any r. F. c. loans
without the courts permission. SalleS
counsel had claimed that to accept
loan now for reorganization purposes
would strip the bank of $4,000,o00 as
sets and leave depositors unprotected.
Lewis F. Williams, counsel for the
bank, told the court I'VE think the
bank can work cut the situation all
right"

 This Is brought out in an analysis of automobile-pedestrian accidents by The Travellers Insurance Com- pany. The study discloses that the probability of death to . pedestrain in an automobile accident wniie crossing an intersection diagonaLiy is twice as great as when crossing with the signal, and is nearly nalr again as great when crossing against the signal as with the signal at the intersection.
 Ped estrians are in the greatest danger, however, 1t is shown by the study, when walking along high ways, because under such circum. stances 1t is found that the rate of pedestrian death per automobile accident is nearly three and one- half times as great as the average for al acknowledgements as' cidents.
 Although the number Of auto mobile -pe destrain collision accid- ents average around 6 per cent less than the total of personal-injury automobile collisions, the number of persons killed in automcb cbile- pedestrian accidents ii found to be 9e per cent greater than the fatalities due to personal injury collisions between autotno- plies. The chance of Q pedestrian meeting death when injured in an automobile accident Is more than 100 per cent greater than when person is injured as an occupant of Q car in collision with another car, and is nearly half again as great as the probability of death per ac. cident from all other personal-ir. jury automobile accidents combin. ed.

 Most outstanding among hia many efforts to keep the family larder fuli is his role of truck farmer.
 Although femmed in by the boundaries of his own small yard, Easton managed to raise enough vegetables this year to be the envy of the neighborhood. Unaided and entirely on his own initiative, he titled the soil, laid out 20 rows of corn, planted tomato beds and finally brought to fruit a bumper crop of carrots, beets, sqssash and many other vegetables.
 In his own way, he proudly watched" the garden grow. Every morning he felt the tiny sprouts with his sensistive fingers.
 His wife, who 1s partially blind, explained her husband planted the garden by means of stakes and cord, using these as a guide for his spade.
