Representative Clarence J. Nc
Leod (RO of Michigan today
introduced in the House a re,
vised bill broadening the scope
of the bank relief measure he
introduced February II.
The new bill contains three
amendments which authorize the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton to take over assets of State
banks in addition to those of ma.
tional banks providing they were
members of the Federal Reserve
System last March 4.
It further provides that no
owner of stock in any bank af.
fected by provisions of the act
shall be relieved of any assessment
or liability to which he is subject
under existing law and provides
further that banks in the hands
of conservators may be reopened,
providing a majority of the de,
poSitorS so desire.

MARGIN SALES
BAN ASKED
BY international News Service

Federal Judge William L. Clark,
of New Jersey, the first United
States jurist to hold the pro-
hibition law unconstitutional, to-
day appeared before the Senate
Banking Committee and urged
abolition of margin trading in the
stock market.
In dramatic language, Judge
Clark charged that margin trad
ing lin an unconscionable num-
ber of cases, led to either death,
diShonor or Distress"
He said the Department of JUS
tice had informed him that go
per cent of the cash of national
bank embezzlements in the last
five years resulted from stock
market speculation. He added
that records of bonding com
panies and of prosecutors Of
fices will show that officers in
State banks and public officials
have been equally inclined to use
"other peoples money" on the
stock exchange.

New Automatic
Rifle Tested
By Army
BY International News Service


A powerful new automatic
rifle, capable of firing eight
rounds without reloading, has
been acquired by the War
Department for experimental
purposes, it was learned today.
The weapon, representing a
revolutionary development in
rifles, is known as the Garand-
type, and is of 80 caliber. De-
tails of the design and opera
tion are being closely guarded
to prevent any duplication by
foreign powers. Eighty of the
rifles have been acquired by
the War Department. They
will be sent to Fort BenningS,
Ga. If the experiments prove
satisfactory, the Army will be
equipped with them.

CALL
To INSURE
PAY VOTE
Byrns Insists Democrats Must
Settle Full Return Issue;
Gag Rule Unlikely

Anxious to prevent sailing
of a gag rule on the indie
pendent office supply bill, Ma
jority Floor Leader Joseph
W. Byrns (D.) of Tennessee,
plans to call a Democratic
caucus.
He revealed this to The Wash
ington Times today as his plan to
give members of the House an
opportunity to vote upon full pay
restoration. He said he will call
the caucus as soon as the appro-
-priations committee reports out
the supply bill, regardless of the
nature of it's report, adding:
PERSONALLY, 1 would like to
see the bill reported out without
recommendation, for that would
give the House full opportunity
to act freely on both pay cut
and veterans relief.
WANTS ISSUE SETTLED
"RegardIess of what the COM
mittee does, 1 will call the eau
Gus because 1 want the Demo-
Gratis to thrash this thing out"
A Democratic caucus may be
called either by the Speaker, Lne
majority floor leader or Is mem
bers of the party, he explained.
Reports circulated late yester.
day that a drastic gag rule would
be brought out with the commit
tee report, but it is known that
other House leaders, in addition
to Representative Byrns, are Wig
orously opposed to such steam
roller" tactics.
Representative Clifton A. Wood
rum CD of Virginia and chair
man of the subcommittee in charge
of the bill, admits he does not
share Mr.. Byrns' antipathy to gag
rule, but says:
eve won't gag them unless
they want it,"

EDUCATED BALL PLAYERS

Among other novel circumstances
connected with the recent worlds series of
baseball games is the fact that the rival
managers are both college men. Frank
Frisch of the Cardinals is graduate of
Fordham University, while Mickey Coeh-
rane of the Tigers is an alumnus of Bos-
ton University.
There are quite number of college
men among big league players. Lou
Gehrig. the new home run king, is a
graduate of Columbia. Others who may
be mentioned off-hand as coming from the
college campus to the professional dia-
mond are Gehringer, Stephenson, Schu-
macher, Eddie Collins and Sisler. There
are probably several more.
Some players who are good enough
upon leaving college to get into profess
sional baseball are able to learn enough to
finance their further education in law,
medicine, dentistry or some branch of en-
cheering But the wiser ones, unless they
quickly become outstanding stars, usually
quit the diamond early.
A has-been ball player, like has-beens
in other lines of professional sport, leads a
precarious existence, unless he has been
able to save money while in his prime.

It's one of those thing

It's one of those things officialdon
won't discuss and which probably would
be denied at this stage. but Key West is
nearer a highway hook-up with the main
land than it ever was in the days when a
multi-milliOn loan from Uncle Sam to
bridge the ferry runs was being seriously
ballyhOoed. When Whirligig gave you the
first hint of P. & O.'s removal of its Ha-
vana service terminal from Key West to
Miami some months ago, it suggested the
change was fOrerunner to eventual
abandonment of F. E. c. rails to Key West
The carefully guarded gossip just now is
that the logical outcome will be the place
ment of shoulders on the oversee rail
bridges to suit them to auto travel and
thus provide through highway at a frac-
ton of the first contemplated cost. FERA
has plenty of weed-cutting labor in Florida
thatmight be more profitably employed on
such a rojeet.-Miami Daily News.
