Austria is improving steadily
and this year, for the first time
since the war, the slight re-
naming deficit accruing from
foreign business is practically
balanced by tourist trade.

Baron Views Austria
AS Capable of independence
Union With Germany
Needless, Says Won
CiesIingen

Austria need not effect a union
with Germany or any other ma
ton. She is perfectly capable Of
standing on her own legs. The
contention that she is unable to
support herself has been dis
proved in recent years, and proof
of this lies in the fact that in
spite of the unfavorable economic
situation all over the world, Aus
tria has overcome her trade
deficit.
Such views were expressed to-
day by Baron Giesl Won Gieslin-,
gen, descendant Of an illuStrious
Austrian family and one Of it's
two members in 800 years to
eschew a uniform for civil life.
He and the baroness are in Wash
ington for a brief social visit
with Mr.. and Mrs. j. j. Mack,
1900 block Forest Lane, Wesley
Heights.
Baron Is Engineer
The baron has been in America
for the last four years pursuing
his vocation-that Of locomotive
engineering. He played leading
part in locomotive designing in
Austria before coming to this
country, and is perfecting inven-
tions which have been adopted
by some of the leading railroads
in the United States. Economy
in locomotive performance is his
aim.
The baron defended his "de-
sertion" from the ranks of the
military as follows:
"Under prevailing conditions,
I though I could serve my
country better in other fields.
Up to the end of the war, all
of my people had served in the
army. I was too yOung-I
missed it by a couple of months
and a young second cousin
is the other 'recalcitrant.'

OHIO TACKLES
RUM PROBLEM

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 4
.SO.-With Federal prohibi-
ton due to vanish from the Con-
stitution orrow afternoon
when the thirty-sixth State rati-
-.es the repeal amendment, Ohio
prepared today to wrestle with
its own liquor problem.
A liquor contr-l bill indorsed
by the. White administration and
expected to be introduced in the
legislature next Wednesday by
Senator H. G. Mosier, Cleveland,
was in the hands of the State
printer.
Until that bill or substitute
measure gets the approval of
the legislature and until two
State prohibition enforcement
laws are repealed, there will be no
noticeable change in the liquor
situation in Ohio except possibly
alxity of enforcement of the few
remaining dry laws in the larger
centerS of population.
At the office of Secretary of
State George S. Myers, it was
estimated that the constitutional
convention meeting tomorrow in
the House of Representatives
could complete it's work within
two hours after it convenes at

HOTEL MEN WAR
ON NRA CODE
PROVISIONS
Resort HosteIries Seen As
Chief Directors to Hours;
Serving Meals a Snag

NRA today faced a battle with
the far-flung hotel industry over
the hotel code.
Leaders in the industry'S effort
to prepare a code have informed
hotel men the code was imposed
without their consent and in spite
of a promise Of further confer
ences by Hugh S. johnson, NRA
administrator.
In some sections, according to
information received here, hotel
men are planning to inform the
NRA they cannot operate under
the code.
Regardless Of Rest Time -.
One of the chief complaints of
the hotel interests, especially re-
sort hotel, is that they will have
to maintain separate working
forces for breakfast and dinner.
Under the code, not more than
IL hours may elapse between the
beginning and end Of the day.
Thus a breakfast force could not
prepare and serve the evening
meal, regardless Of the amount
of rest time during the day.
At a meeting of the Massa
chusetts Hotel Association
attended by several members
from other States, hotel men
voted that all members finding
it impossible to work under the
code write General johnson stat.
ing the fact and explaining why
without Consent, Charge
Lucius Boomer, Of New York,
who was chairman of the hotel
code committee, appealed to
members of the American Hotel
Association to cooperate with the
NRA but in a letter to members
declared the code was imposed
without consent of the industry.
The letter said "the lack OF
definitenesS and clarity as to the
recovery of increased costs result.
ing from operations under the
code is in spite of our statement
that it would be impossible for
many hotels to finance the great
payroll increases contemplated by
the code unless some means were
arranged for increasing revenue" j"

NO. 4 PRECINCT
MAY REOPEN

Plans for reopening the old No.
police precinct, located on E st.
S. w., btweeen Four-and-a-half
and Sixth Streets, were an
nounced today by Major Ernest
w. Brown, superintendent Of
police.
The precinct house is now used
for storing police property, which
will be moved to a warehouse,
Major Brown said. Later police
storehouse will be sought under
the CWA program.
Plans for formation Of a new
precinct, with headquarters at
Thirteenth and K Streets North
west have been halted, he said,
owing to the fact there is no
District-owned land there, and
land may not be purchased with
CWA or PWA funds.
The Washington times., 1933-12-04

without haste and as an equal
to others.
"The example of Switzerland
is sufficient proof, and Austria
is in a much better condition
to be economically indepen-
dent"
The baron emphasized the fact
that in the last IL months Austria
has spent $7,O0O,0O0 more for ex.
ports from the United States than
we have with that country. Con.
sidering the comparative popula,
ton and buying power of the Aus.
trian people, he pointed out that
such an amount in that country
would be equal to 100000, 900
here.

The Central Republic Bank and
Trust Company of Chicago is in
technical default on its $90,000,-
600 loan from the Reconstruction
FL ance Corporation, Interna-
t1onal News Service learned today,
The bank has repaid about one
third Of the loan, which became
due on December %, 1892. The
bank now owes $62, ,157, ,596.85, in
Guiding 1888, 1924 in interest
accrued, overdue and unpaid.
Protected BY Collateral
This was the loan negotiated
June %, 1882, 16 days after for
mer Vice President Charles G.
Dawes resigned as president of
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration to become chairman of
the board of the Central Republic
Bank. The loan was denounced
by insurgent Republicans n d
Democratic on both floors of Con-
gress as soon as it became known.
The present status of the loan
has been investigated by the Sen
ate Banking and Currency Com
mittee. It learned that the un-
paid balance is fully protected by
collateral, having face value of
$91 ,633, ,679.91 but considerably
less actual value.
r r r. Ts Not Alarmed
The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation was reported as be-
ing thoroughly satisfied with
the present status of the loan.
One Government official ex-
planned the default was purely
technical and induced solely by
the corporations decision to re-
fuse a renewal in order to take
more complete control Of the
banks affairs. He declared the
bank was "in process of liquida-
tion" with prospects that every
penny of the loan would be re-
paid ultimately.
Government authorities care
fully explained that former Vice
President Dawes is not involved
in the loan, although he headed
the Central Republic at the time
it was negotiated. They said no
other Chicago bank was con-
nected with it.
SSO,126, 1862 Repaid
The Senate inquiry revealed
the loan originally was for $780,
100000, although when made in
June, 1882, it was reliably re-
ported to be $8O,OOO,000. To date,
the bank has repaid $30,126s'
362.10. There was an unpaid bal
ance Of $62, ,157 ,596.85 on Novem-
ber 6 Of this year, including ST.
839,192.14 in accrued, overdue
and unpaid interest.

TRADE SHIPPING
FACES ACTION
BY CONGRESS
Rigid Control of Merchant
Marine Likely; End Of
Ship Board Seen
By international News Service

Sweeping legislative changes
looking to a complete reorganiza-
tion of the American merchant
marine were taken under consid-
Grafton today by the special Sen
ate committee investigating ocean
mail contracts.
With a majority of the COM
mittee seeing eye to eye, it was
considered virtually certain these
changes will be urged upon Con-
gress early next year.
For Vigorous Control
Senator Black D0 of Ala
bama, the chairman, declared:
'Tt is absolutely clear that
there must be far more vigOr-
Gus Federal control over Amer
lean steamship lines which en-
joy mail subsidies or operate
with money borrowed from the
Government.
"Many recommendations un-
dOubtedly will be made"
With the ocean mail hearings
scheduled to end this month,
Black stated, the committee will
present it's findings and recon-
mendationS in time for legislative
action before spring.
Then it will plunge into the Sec
ond phase Of its inquiry, involving
air mail subsidies and frequently
repeated charges that monopoly
dominated by j. P. Morgan & Co.
has gained control of American
civil aviation.
Ship Commission Looms
Among the measures which the
committee is weighing, but upon
which no final decision has been
reached, are:
/. Abolition of the United
States Shipping Board and Gre
alton of a shipping commission
modelled after the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
2. Cancellation of certain
ocean contracts. on grounds Of
fraud.
3. Rigid limitation of salaries,
bonuses, stock dividends, eX-
pense accounts and other emolu-
ments received by officers, di-
rectors or stockholders of ship
ping firms.
4. Drastic new provisions to
prevent favoritism and graft in
the awarding of ocean mail con-
tracts.
S. A greatly increased ship re-
placement program, to overcome
the steady shrinkage now occur
ring in the number of modern,
fast American ocean vessels.
The committee also is consider
ing the relative merits of the
flat mileage rate of payment for
ocean mail and the poundage
rate formerly in effect.

REPEAL VOTE

HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. 4
G.N.SO.-"Full speed ahead" will
be the slogan and action of Penn
sylvania's convention to vote for
repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment here tomorrow. Washington
probably will know about it Off
cial1y before 3 o'clock.
Speed will be the keystone when
the convention is called to order
by Lieut.. Gov. Edward C. Shan
non. That is necessary because
Pennsylvania wishes to be the first
of the three States which will
doom the Eighteenth Amendment
tomorrow and return the United
States to ''hard liquor" legally.
When the call to order is given,
Richard j. Beamish, secretary of
the Commonwealth, will certify
that all delegates were properly
elected.
Immediately after the vote is
taken, Beamish will rush to Wash
ington either by airplane or auto

John LaMattino, %, and George

pleaded not guilty to statutory
charges involving an Is year old
Naugatuck girl, when arraigned
before Judge John Richards Booth
ut the opening of the June crimi-
nal term of superior court this
afternoon.
LaMattino elected trial by jury
and Narcotic chose trial by court.
The date for their trials, was set
for two weeks from today. June

Both are charged with having
criminally assaulted the young girl.
whom they had taken for an au-
tomobile ride, in Wolcott on May
Goth. The girls cousin, who es-
capped from the car, ran for as
sistance to the dance hall in VOL
colt and was accompanied back to
the scene of the attack by several
men who secured the license num-
bers of the car.
Investigation by Wolcott and

markable when contrasted with
huge declines in assets of lesser
businesses.
In the years after 1929, while
the % corporate leaders were in
creasing assets almost one per cent,
the stock market declined almost
lS5 per cent from the 1929 high;
national income was down 60 per
cent; the country's wealth, as es-
timated by the National Industrial
Conference board, decreased 80
per cent.
Perhaps the primary cause OF
this stability was sagacious, con-
sentative management through the
trying years. Most of the leading
companies translated as large a
proportion of their assets as pos
sible into cash and government Sc
| curities, and reduced inventories to
a minimum.
In some cases, however, the ex-
| cellent record represents, at least
| in part, bookkeeping finesse, since
| security holdings were valued at
| the end of 1882, far in excess of
what could then have been OBJ
tanned in the open market.
Following is the list of American
corporations in the billion-dollar
class. with their total assets at the
end of 1882 and 1881.
