INSTITUTIONS
Scrip Won't Be Issued If State
Banks Are Permitted to
Join in Reserves

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 10.
No scrip will be issued in Mary.
land if amendments proposed to
the national banking laws are
passed, granting State banks the
privilege of coming under the
Federal Reserve System, it was
learned today.
The amendments also would re-
quire the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation to release claims
against State banks which have
obtained loans and to take IN it
stead preferred stock in the banks.
Scrip Measures Ready
However, the bill setting up two
systems for the issuance of scrip.
one by the Baltimore Clearing
House and the other by the State
banks, will be introduced in the
legislature on Monday. This was
expected to pass as precautionary
measure in event the amendments
are not adopted.
Only 80 Maryland banks, those
under the Federal Reserve SyS-
tenn, will be able to open Mon
day, while ITS State banks, which
do not come under this protection,
will have to remain closed.
If included in the Federal Re
serve, the ITS banks can open.
Sponsored by Tydings
It was learned from Secretary
of State David Winebrenner that.
issuance of scrip will be unneces-
sary if the Federal Reserve pro-
lection is extended to other banks.
Governor Ritchie was in con-
stant communication today with
Senator Millard E. Tydings, of
Maryland, who is behind the
amendments to protect the State
banks.

D. c. INDUSTRY
HOLDS LEVEL

District payrolls in manufactur
ing plants, including printing and
publishing plants, held up better
between 1929 and 1881 than those
Of any State in the Union, &C.
cording to a report of the Bureau
Of the Census made public today.
In most States the number of
employees in such plants was
drastically reduced, and payroAs
were even more keenly slashed.
The decline in employment ap-
parently averaged about Is per
cent, and the wages paid were
cut by about one-third.
In Washington, however, though
only 492 plants we're reported in
1881, as against SAT for 1929, the
number of wage earners had
fallen only from 9,752 to 1858,
a number still in excess of en-
ployment in 1921, and wages had
been reduced only from $15,.
512,711 to $14,O62, 1923.
Inasmuch as the census of man.
ufactures includes only establish
ments whose output for the year
was valued at $4,000 or more, it
is probable at least that a num-
ber of plants which were reported
in 1929 were still in business in
1881, but not included in the re-
port because their output had de-
Clined.

DUBLIN, Ire, Jan. 3l, President Ramon DeValera, reelected with clear majority in the new Dail, went to work yesterday Cn his election promises Of united Ire land which he hopes eventually to reorganize as an independent republic, free from England.

 The forces making for Irish uni ty are greater than the will of a transient individual. He referred to the statement of Lord Craiga- von, premier of the Ulterite gov ernment in Northern Ireland, at Belfast, who declared Ulster loy- alists would defeat any attempt to incorporate Northern Ireland into the proposed Republic.

 TWO CABINET POSTS

BERLIN, Jan. 31. Adolf Hitler rode into power in Germany on the rising tide of his militant Fas- cism. The desperate political ex- periments of the last two years were eliminated when President Paul von Hindenburg entrusted the Chancellorship to the fiery little Austrian from Munich, foe of Jews and Communist, and lead ing exponent of belligerant Ger man nationalism.
 Last night the country stood at the crossroads under the rising star of German MuSsolini." :"
 Hitler is not yet dictator, but he means to be. This he made clear in his first proclamation to the nation.
 A dramatic reconciliation with the aged President Hindenburg, who twice refused him the Chan cellorship, gave Hitler the post yesterday.
 The nationwide frenzy of fear and enthusiasm that flashed thru Germany on his appointment was comparable only to that of Aug ust. 1914, the opening of the world war.
 Hitler swore an oath of allegiance to the Republican Constitution, re- serving for himself in the cabinet the posts of Minister of the h. terior and minister without a port folio.
 As one safeguard President Hin denburg left the Army in the hands of General Werner Vor BlOmberg.
 The Nazis leader formed his cabinet without Centrists and the Bavarian Peoples Party will b5 asked to tolerate his regime ol else parliament will be dissolved.

FIRST COYOTE KILLED
 FAR WESTWARD AREA
 BY 12-yEAR-OLD B0y
By special correspondent


 To Bloonka Manootuli, 12-year old native boy of the village of Akokpak, may be credited the talk ing of the first coyote within the Nushagak watershed.
 Bloonka returned from his trap line one day about New Years and reported to his astonished parents that he had caught a 'half-dog.
 None of the villagers knew what the strange animal was, and for several days did not even remove the pelt from it, thinking the skin as valueless; as that from one of their own sled animals.
 However, they are ''wised" up now, and it is even possible, if this lone animal be the forerunned of a horde of the one-time plain dwellers, that the words "ulna" and bounty may be added to the vocabulary of the Nushagak native. That is, if the bounty on predatory animals does not go the way of the much lamented late reward for the taking of preda- tory fish.
