GOVERNMENT ENTERS
 BANKING BUSINESS
 TO AID COMMUNITIES

, termination to exercise firm con- trol, but to-day these appeared to have been overcome.
 This action by the government in setting up the Detroit bank on a partnership basis evoked a call in the house for an investigation. Rep Wiedeman, dem, Mich. charged that outside" interests were attempting to get control of the Michigan banking structure and asserted treasury officials had denied him permission to partfci- pate in conferences concerning the new bank, plan.
 Senator Couzens, repn, Mich, opposed the government ~plan on some points in hard-fought con- ferences at the treasury.
 Throughout, the youthful Await battled firmly but in good humor as he insisted upon provisions which would give the government full authority to protect it's invest ment by participating on basis of full equality in the board of di- rectors.
 This is the reverse of the policy under sthe Hoover administration. Under that policy, when 8 bank needed money. the government. through the Reconstruction Fi- nance corporation. took its best as- sets as security for loans. By the time the new administration came in, hte government was holding the best share of good assets from the banks which most needed help.
 Now the government, instead of taking out the assets, buys pre- ferred Stock, requiring the bank to raise locally a like amount through sale of common stock.
 This leaves intact the banks as- sets. The government requires the bank to buy back It's preferred stock out of a share of the profits. so that eventually the government may withdraw from it's partner ship.
 The new plan is being applied through treasury officials and the reconstruction Finance corpora tion.
 The key official in setting up the Detroit model was Await. He is the governments bank expert. Tn his office are all details as to the bank examiners, Information as to stocks, bonds, mortgages and other assets of all national banks. Await. a broad d-shou1dered man, knows more about the physical condition of individual banks than a doctor knows about his patients. There are no secrets from him.
 He has carried the brunt of the task of deciding what banks should be allowed to reopen~ Many nights difrin0 tho laat month he has gone home for a few hours sleep at 4 a. m. Angry senators and repre- sentatives have demanded that he permit banks to reopen and he has had to refuse them in cases where he felt that it was better to wait.
 Await, according to friends here, had his personal funds in bank which was not reopened after the holiday. He knew it's condition but, it is said. refused to take ad- vantage of his official information to withdraw his own personal sav- ings. His money is still tied up.

RACKETEERS OF
 NEW YORK GOING
 TO FIGHT HARD
They Will Not Give Up Big Beer Business They Have Built Up Past IA Years r

New York. March 2S--(UP)-- Battle lines were drawn today for control of the rich metropolitan beer market. Separate secret meet ings were held by legitimate brew CTS and racketeers who have built up powerful organizations in IA years of prohibition.
 One fact emerged sharply from the conferences. Bootleggers will not give up. without last ditch struggle, the revenue derived from the sale of beer and "hard liquor' to thousands of local speakeasieS.
 The word was passed to speak easy proprietors after the meeting that efforts would be made to ob- tain beer permits for each resort but If the state law provides for too searching an inquiry into appli- cations the present law-evadfng policy would be continued with 'beer supplied as usual"
 Meanwhile brewers who have waited patiently for legalization of their product are prepared to com bat underworld competition by de- manding that the state and federal government exercise extreme cau- tion in granting licenses for beer manufacture.

 Ellman and other brewery offi- cials pointed out that gangsters and hoodlums are looking tor every chance to muscle in" on the new beer trade. They are prepared to take advantage of the excitc- ment incident to beers return to turn the celebration into means of illicit revenue for themselves. The Atlas brewery hummed today as brew rushed through to supply the demand that will be met later on April z even if no deliveries are made before dawn. The Atlas plans to turn out 1,600 barrels of beer a day.

 As acting comptroller of the currency. Await has been instru- mental in working out the plan. Through the Reconstruction Fi- nance corporation. the federal gov ernment is putting up half the capital for the new Detroit bank. Washington's share is $12,50O, 900.

 PLANS MAY PASS
 BY END OF WEEK
Two Measures Proposed By the President Are Very Likely to Be Put Into Law

Washington. March 2S. tUP)-- The senate began to-day n major offensive against unemployment, with leaders confident of passing before the weekend two admins traitor measures creating jobs for 250,00O men and rushing fresh re- lief funds to impoverished states.
 The first item Is President Roosevelt's project to enroll job- less citizens in reforestation army for work on useful projects on the public domain and state lands.
 Democratic Leader Robinson, after q conference with the presi- dent last night, expressed belief this would be passed to-day.
 On the heels of the reforestatiop bill is the measure sponsored by Senators Wagner. Costigan and La Toilette to provide $500,000,000 in them to continue to supply food and clothing to the needy.
 Senator Lewis, Dem, III, asked Robinson to speed action on this measure by combining it with the reforestation bill. He pointed out that Illinois has exhausted it's $45,000,00O quota under the pres ent R. F. c. relief loan system and needs further aid quickly.
 The White House conference last night decided against the combina- ton. Robinson said an amendment probably would be tackled on to the reforestation bill lifting the present quota limitations on loans to states. This would meet Illinois immedi- ate needs.
 Robinson feared combining the two measures might delay the re- forestation work on which the ad- ministration is anxious to get idle men busy as soon as possible. Con- siderable debate is expected over the Wagner bilrs provision for di- rect grants to states. A number of senators want to retain the Hoover administration's system of advanc- ing funds in the form of loans.
 senator Black, Dem, Ala, said he would press for action on another relief bill. his .five-day, 30-hour work week measure.
 William Green. president of the American Federation of Labor estimates application of the 30- hour week to all industry would put G.500.000 idle men to work. Major opposition to the bill cen ters on constitutionality of this pro- vision. Black admits the supreme court decision in the child labor case was against such legislation, but he believes the present court would uphold it by a comfortable margin.
