DEPOS|TORS TO ACT
IN REOPEN|NG PLAN
Mass Meeting Planned for
Wednesday Night at
Central High.
SPECIAL COMMITTEE
TO MEET TOMORROW
President Smith of Central Business
Mems Group Says Merchants
Are Hit by Condition.

Depositors in the United States Saw
ings Bank are about to take hand in
the long drawn out controversy over
reopening the institution at Fourteenth
and U streets.
AS Col Wade H. Cooper, president of
the bank, and the Treasury Depart
ment, prepared for the court battle over
two new actions filed by Cooper, the
Central Business Mems Association, fol-
lowing a formal vote at the last regu-
lar meeting, began laying plans for a
big mass meeting of depositors at the
Central High School auditorium next
Wednesday night. This place was the
scene of two large mass meetings Of
depositors of the inSolvent Park Savings
Bank. out of which has grown complex
court action precipitated by the Park
Savings Bank Depositors' Committee.
Special Committee Head.
Arthur Clarendon Smith, president of
the Central Business Mems Association,
was authorized as chairman of a spe-
cial committee on arrangements to pre-
pare the program for Wednesday night.
Speakers are being invited from both
the United States Savings Bank and
from the Treasury Department. There
also will be a speaker to represent the
depositors' side of the case.
Plans for the mass meeting will be
further developed at meeting tomor-
row noon, when Mr.. Smith will confer
with the special Committee on Arrange
ments consisting of Joseph H. Bait,
James Armour and Lee Thompson.
What the depoSitorS want is action
to open the bank" declared Mr. Smith
,,jubt s"The roprphantS in that
section are feeling the i'll effects of that
bank being closed, and are beginning to
press for action. What most of the
depositorS want, so far as I can find
out, is the best and quickest way to get
the bank open and release the money
tied up there"
Favored Merger Step.
The Central Business Mems Associa-
tion repeatedly went on record in favor
of the United States Savings Bank join
ing the Hamilton National Bank merger.
The savings bank was dropped from the
merger following court action by Col.
Cooper to prevent the merger. Col.
Cooper now has pending in the court
two actions-one to prevent the Treas
ury Department from selling the assets
of the bank to another institution, or
from forcing the bank into liquidation,
and the other, filed yesterday, to force
the Treasury Department to open the
bank along lines proposed by Col.
Cooper
The Treasury Department has refused
to approve reopening the bank on
Cooper's plan, but has proposed an al
ternate plan which the Treasury claims
is fairer to depositors. Cooper has re-
fused to accept the Treasury alterna-
tive plan, and as owner of 56 per cent
of the stock OF the bank is forcing the
fight to an issue in court, to be heard
probably October A.
In his suit filed yesterday Col Cooper
charged the Treasury with personal
"enmity" against him and claimed the
bank was sound enough to have re-
opened March IA. instead of having
been placed in the hands of a con-
servator.

II wonder if some better method
i of curbing the disturbances OF
neighborhood peace by too loud
speakers might not be devised and put
into effect.
To curb a neighborhood nuisance in a
legal manner, under the present set-up,
requires mass attack by enraged suf-
ferers. and even if this succeeds In
uuelling the noise. it leaves very hard
feelings in the wake of the victory.
Let us suppose that today, in an
otherwise quiet neighborhood, the radio
of the Snodgrasses unduly prolongs the
waking hours of the next-door Winter
bottoms. The Snodgrasses and the
Winterbottoms are friends. Winterbot-
tom wants his sleep and also to retain
the friendship of Snodgrass.
If only policeman, thinks Winter
bottom, would pass by and hear that
internal din, my troubles would be at
an end. Perhaps he even contrives to
have a policeman pass the street at an
appropriate time. But what can the
policeman do? Absolutely nothing.

Cloaked with the authority of this

ing the perhaps more obnoxious
sounds of radio grooming, however, he
Is helpless.
The efforts of the Commissioners to
deaf with the noise problem make a
vastly interesting study. In addition to
their prohibition against annoying
neighbors with radios Qegally described
as any machine or mechanical device
for the magniflcation or intensiflcation
of the human voice or OF any sound
they have had occasion to pass nu-
merous other regulations in a vain at
tempt to make the city quiet.
For instance, no such device, or any
bell, horn. gong, whistle, drum or other
noise making article, instrument or de-
vice shall be struck or sounded on or
in any street, avenue, etc, nor shall
loud noises be made by any such article,
instrument or device In or about bar
rooms, hotels or other public places in
the District of Columbia for any pur-
pose whatsoever"
Exceptions Are Numerous.
There is a long list of exceptions to
this. For instance, a scissors grinder

exceed 2as inches in diameter at the
bottom or 13s inches in height from
the level to the crown of the bell. Even

be sold. and for period not to exceed

Much Law to Consider.

The reason for all this requires con-
sideration of considerable law, political
science, and history. To start with, the
Commissioners power to regulate on
such a general subject as radio noises
depends on authority delegated them by
act of Congress to adopt regulations for
the peace and good order of all the
inhabitants. Another primary idea to
be borne in mind is that an Americans
home, no less than that Of the English
man, is his castle, and that the law
cannot tell him what to do when he is
inside it.
Bearing this in mind, it IS not difh-
cult to see that the Commissioners
could not prohibit the loud playing OF q
radio In a mans home of itself. Their
power to regulate this depends upon its
disturbance of his neighbors. and the
assault it offers against public peace
and good order. But who Is to judge
Of whether the playing is an assault
against the neighborhood peace? Why,
the neighbors.
That is why a policeman cannot
make the arrest without warrant.
Unless the neighbors are disturbed,
there Is no offense to begin with. It Is
their annoyance which creates the Of
tense. When they 60 and swear out
warrant, ClldG Is tIle IlISC IlIllc t1AC ~
liceman knows, officially. that an of-
fense has been committed.
During the war some of the Ameri-
can doughboys in France learned of q
law in some of the French provinces
that man could beat his wife-so
long as the neighbors did not complain.
The neighbors, of course, were anxious
to avoid civil war by complaining
So the wife was out Of luck-just like
the quiet neighbor Of noisy radio fan
IS out of luck
The only way to get around this en-
forcement difficulty, it is said BY legal
experts. Is for Congress to treat a
radio noise which passes the boundaries
Evening star., 1933-10-01

It comes as something of a shock to
learn that it is violation Of traffic
regulation (see section 39) to make any
extraordinary, intense or prolonged
noise in starting a motor vehicle.

Large Crowd Hears
Scottsboro Story

A crowd that filled every inch
OF space In the Moose Temple,
Monday night, heard the story
OF the fight to free the nine Ne
gro boys implicated in the Scotts-
bcro case. Mrs. jamie Patter-
son, mother of Haywood Patter-
son, one of the accused boys,
Lester Carter, white southern
boy who was on the freight train
with the white girls alleged to
have been attacked, and Richard
B. Moore, International Labor
Defense organizer, were the spea-
kers.
Mrs. Patterson, an uneducated
woman born and reared in the
South, told of her struggles to
rear her children. She told how
her son left home to seek work
and how she learned of his ar
rest. In simple language she
told of her sufferings when she
heard her son she knew to be
innocent sentenced to die. There
was hardly a dry eye in the
house during the time she relat-
ed her story.
Lester Carter, the white boy,
stated he was born in Mineral
Wells, Texas, and had been
taught to despise colored people.
He was on the train with Ruby
Bates and Victoria Price and
knows the colored boys did not
modest them. He said he was
arrested by Alabama police and
told to sign a paper duplicating
the Negro boys. He refused and
was released and ordered to
leave the state. He finally made
his way to New York and told
his story to the LID. lawyers.
Richard Moore was the princi-
pal speaker and for nearly two
hours he flayed churches, prea-
crers. the N.AA.C.P. and Negro

istic program.
