IN spite Of everything, he insisted that
he saw Swanson gallopin' like hell to-

BEVERLYS RESIGNATION
IS DENIED BY DERN

Secretary of War Dern said today
that Gov. James r. Beverly of Puerto
Rico has not resigned and will con-
tinue to administer the island govern
ment until his successor is appointed.
He made 1t clear he has no one in
mind for this important executive post,
nor has he committed himself on the
subject.
In his first press conference today, the
new Secretary Of War said he has been
too busy trying to keep his feet on
the ground to give any thought to fu-
ture plans of building up the Army to
the 10000 enlisted strength recon-
mended by Gen. Douglas Macarthur,
chief of staff. For the present, at least,
Secretary Dern will spend his entire
time in Washington devoting himself
to an intense study of the War De-
partment and all its functions. Later
he will make a tour Of the principal
military posts and harbor defenses of

emergency banking bill today. Mr..
Rainey said: The bill is very involved,
and Government bonds only will be the
security for currency.
ANY individual. bank or corporation
would have the right to tender Govern
ment bonds to the Treasury and take
away currency.
The currency would be new issue
entirely. The extent of the issue would
be controlled by the Treasury. The
maximum that the issue could reach
would be $4,000 900, but it will not
60 that high"
No Increase in Debt.
He said the plan would not add to the
Governments debt.
The banking bill was nine printed
pages long Details were withheld for
the time being.
Only so copies of the proposal were
understood to have been printed for the
present. Two were given to the Presi-
dent, two each to Senator Glass and
Representative Steagall, one to the At
torney General, Homer S. Cummings,
and the remainder to Treasury experts
The fact that the administration pro-
posal was quite lengthy strengthened
the belief that it would have to go
IOulLle Oh committee CON-
Sideration first.
This may delay final action a little,
but both Republican and Democratic
leaders have pledged themselves to push
1t through without undue postponement.
The banking situation has dwarfed
momentarily other problems which con-
front the new Congress. However. it is
expected that the Congress will be
called upon within short time to pass
additional legislation looking to bal
anced budget, legislation for the farm
ers, for the relief of the unemployed
and legislation amending the Volstead
act so as to permit the manufacture of
beer This last measure will carry
with it revenue raising features tended
to help in balancing the budget Such
a bill passed the the House at the last
session and was reported to the Senate.

1t was stated positively in local bank
ing circles today that the Washington
Clearing House Association would not
issue scrip to be used as a substitute
for regular currency. A careful survey
has shown that conditions here do not
compel the adoption of scrip or any
other form Of Clearing House certifi-
Gates. Bankers are greatly relieved that
this difficult move has been avoided
Washington financiers were following
the situation on Capitol Hill very closely
today, anxious to learn what move may
be made by Congress and what effect it
will have on further improving the
banking outlook here.

Representative Goldsborough Of Mary
land announced today that he win
introduce legislation this week proyid-
ing for issuance Of Treasury notes to
pay of all obligations CT the Govern
ment and to meet current expenses
This measure has the same object, he
explained, as the Goldsborough bill
which was passed by the House last
session, but not by the Senate. to bring
the wholesale commodity price average
up to the 192l-1s2s average. 1t aims,
however, to attain this objective in q
different way.
When the issuance Of notes has
brought values up to that level, Mr.
Goldsborough pointed out, it can then
be ascertained whether 1t will be neces-
sary to devalue the gold content Of the
dollar to put the country back on 40 per

1t was announced in the financial dis

Bankers state that very little gold has

know. Their only way of knowing about

small amounts, and, the "hoarders''

IN WESTERN HOLD-UP
Subdue Policeman and Use Three
Women Employees to Shield
Flight.

BY the Associated Press.
PIPESTONE, Mimi. September 30
Subduing the towns only policeman,
five bandits looted the Pipestone Ma
tional Bank of 81 900 today and then
used three women employees as shields
in fleeing in a large car bearing Ne
braska license plates.
Authorities theorized the raiders
might be escaped prisoners from Mich
igan City, Ind. since some OF the fugi-
tives were believed in Nebraska two
days ago and Iowa yesterday.
A car bearing the license plates noted
here was stolen al Lincoln, Nebr.,
Wednesday night by six gunner who
forced three persons from it.
Covered with a pistol as the bandit
machine drove up to the bank, Patrol
man Edwin Moe was powerless to shoot
as the robbers fed because the three
women hostages were on the running
boards. The women were released un-
harmed half mile north Of town.
The bandits forced the three girls
the cashier and the president, to lie
on the floor. Finding the time lock
barring the way to the interior of the
vault, they took 81 600 from the cash
drawers and then forced the girls to
walk with them out Of the bank.
