Disabled American
Veterans

The first definite action looking to-
ward modification OF benefits to World
War men suffering from service-con-
nected disabilities came last week when
the Disabled American Veterans asked
President Roosevelt :or an executive
order to return to the original basis of
compensation. In addition to other re-
strictions resulting from the act of last
March, all World War veterans suffering
from ailments of war origin had the
basic payment for total disability re-
duced by 10 per cent as well as other
restrictions in the law and regulations
which further reduced the monthly
check
Under the law the President was
granted authority to set the rates and
under regulations he reduced the rates
by 10 per cent and it was in order to re-
turn to the old rate through executive
order that National Comdr. j. w. Nc

Ex-CaIifornia u. Football

Detective Says.
BnTnitcd Pross

BIZ United Press
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12-Police
today held Gerald (Jerry) Craig
80. former University of Southern
California football captain and
World war hero, on a charge of
plotting the death Of his socially
prominent wife, Ethel, in order to
collect 100000 in community prop
erty. Craig denied the charge.
Police said Craig fell victim of a
police trap in which a detective
masquerading as a Toledo gun man
was hired to kill Mrs. Craig Craig
was accused Of attempted murder
Detective Lieutenant Tom Bryan
engineered the trap, after police
said they received information OF
the plot.
Affecting the dress and speech of
an underworld mobsman, Bryan
said he visited Craig in the garage
where he is employed as a foreman
I'm Buckeye Bryan of Toldeo, O..
and I want to 90 back east" the
operative said he introduced himself
Il understand you want job done,

Bryan said they discussed the plot
and bickered over fee. Finally, he
said, he agreed to accept 5000, 5000
of which was to be paid before the
killing and 500 after Mrs. Craig
was dead.
The detective said he was directed
to strip valuable diamond ring
from Mrs. Craig's hand. The rest
of her jewelry was to be tossed on
top of chandelier, according tc
Bryan. All details we're complete

trolled as if it we're only one in
stitution.
There is another important diff
ference in the case of chains or
groups controlled by holding COM
panies which are not banks them
selves.
Since the holding company has no
assets except the stock of banks it
owns, it is impossible to enforce the
provisions that stockholders of
failed banks shall be liable for
double the amount of deposits in
volved.
Extends National Bank Field
The bill hits this situation in
several ways. One OF the valuable
prerogatives of holding companies is
the right to vote national bank
stock in the election of officers and
directors. In some cases, Senator
Glass charges, they have dominated
the election.
The right to vote this stock is
therefore, definitely restricted by
the bill. The stock can not be
voted to any real extent unless
banks controlled by holding COM
panies agree Cd to undertake eX-
animation by the federal reserve
board, (2) to divest themselves OF
ownership of stock and bond
financing concerns, 80 to comply
with regulations designed to insure
ownership of sufficient free assets tC
satisfy the double liability clause in
case Of failure.
The bill also extends the field for
national banks. 1t permits them
to open branches in states which
90 not specifically forbid branch
banking.
Eighteen States Forbid Branches
At present federal law prohibits
this except for certain metropolitan
areas. 1t is hoped by this to force
many state and private banks to
join up. This specific move, how
ever, will draw heavy fire from Nor
! beck and his followers.
only eighteen states now nave
laws forbidding branch banking, as
follows: Alabama, Arkansas, Colo
RADIO, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho
