Babson Scents Danger Of Graft
and Scandal in Big Fed
eral Expenditures

Boston, June 12.-(P)-Roger W.
Babson, statistician, Monday said
public works programs and farm re-
lief measures may open the way for
the biggest graft scandal in the Unit
ed States history and a reaction that
Is too ugly to contemplate"
Addressing the National Association
Of purchasing agents. Babson said
this was the first year since 1928 that
he could bring message OF optimism
but he warned Of the dangers Of too
much initiation:
He said:
GAS honest and conscientious as the
president is. it will be difficult for him
to control the dispensing OF huge
sums without the political machine
creeping in. This could result in q
drastic action toward either conser-
vatism or radicalism. with probable
decline in prices to natural level
based upon supply and demand"
Possibly the next 80 days will be
the most crucial time since the crit
ical period" Of 1783-1789. Not since
that momentous time has the life OF
the nation depended SO upon wisdom
foresight and backbone. The next two
or three months may tell us whether
our domestic and international plans
are going to give us the necessary lift
from chaos or turn us over to social

Favorable Report on
Glass Bank Bill Made

Washington, June 12.-(AP)-An
eleventh hour agreement by congress
sional conferees on the Glass bank
bill Monday revived hope for enact
ment Of permanent banking legisla-
ton at this session of congress.
A complete agreement was reached
by the house and senate conferees in
in four-hour session, during which
President Roosevelts views were OBJ
tanned by telephone.
The bill provides for insurance of
bank deposits up to $4,000 beginning
January l, 1894, and up to $4,000
beginning July l, 1884.
All banks, state and national, would
be permitted to enter the insurance
system after certification by state
authorities and examination by the
insurance corporation set up by the
bill.
All those which were not members
of the reserve system by 1886 would

banking, senate conferees said.
The permanent deposit insurance
provision of the senate bill was re-
tanned virtually intact.
