GOVERNOR SEES
DOOMED MAN

Fifteen years ago a young pros
ecuting attorney and a convict
parted in a Western State when
the young prosecutor obtained a
parole for the convict after discov-
ering the latter's innocence.
Last night while a driving rain
pelted the roof of the District Jail,
destiny drew them together once
again.
Gov. Floyd B. Olsen, of Mime.
Sofa, was the former prosecutor
and he went to the District Jail to
see what he could do to help
Charles Harris, condemned to die
as the slayer of Milton Henry,
Washington gambler, two years
ago.
While he was a prosecuting at
torney in Minnesota, Olsen con-
Victed Harris on bank robbery
charges only to discover three
years later that the convict was
innocent. He obtained Harris
release and told the latter:
IF l can ever help you let
me know"
Harris remembered that promise
when he read in the newspapers
that Olsen was in Washington in
connection with the NRA. The
governor says he will do what he
can to save Harris from the
death chair.

Detailed plans for refinancing,
with the cooperation of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation,
practically all mortgage loan COM
panies whose bonds are secured
by mortgages guaranteed by the
Maryland Casualty Company or
the United States Fidelity and
Guaranty Company, are an
nounced today by a group of in
vestment bankers headed by Mac
Kubin, Goodrich & Co., of Balti-
more and washington.
One plan provides for exchange
of present bonds, par for par,
for new 2O-year bonds. The bond
holder will receive all the net in
come from collateral up to per
cent in any year. Principal and
interest of 2 per cent during the
first five years. 3 per cent the
second five years, 4 per cent the
third five years and per cent
the last five years will be guaran-
teed by the original surety COM
pany.
The other plan provides for
payment to bondholders of 5000
in cash for each $1,000 bond and
a debenture for the remaining
$500, maturing in 20 years. The
principal will not be guaranteed,
but debenture holders will receive
all liquidation proceeds, all net
income in any year up to 6 per
cent, with annual interest guar
anteed as above.

BANK GUARANTY
FAILURE SEEN
BY BANKERS

Washington Bankers today are
studying a As page pamphlet pub
lished by the economic policy
commission Of the American
Bankers Association covering a
survey of bank deposit guaranty
experience in eight States: Okla
homa, Nebraska, South Dakota,
North Dakota, Mississippi, Kansas,
Texas and Washington, recording
q failure in each case, upon
which the report comments:
"Tt is evident that the
guaranty scheme contains with
in itself forces inherently tend
ing to cause weaker, rather
than stronger banking"
"Of none of the eight cases
studied could it be said that
the aims of the guaranty plans
to protect the public we're
realized or that banking was
benefited.
"AS a matter Of unbiased
history, therefore, the guaranty
of deposits plan proved fallaci-

supervisory officers in respect

tive functions, or the fOrtifying

In conclusion the report, which
was prepared by Gorden Edwards,
secretary, suggests positive meas

negative effort TO make good for
losses by means of indemnity,
