Amos, Andy
Get&Loan
From RFC

Seated around a conference
table at the RFC this week, the
board of directors, headed by
Jesse Jones, solemnly pondered
a special request for a loan.
There was some debate, after
which authorization was agreed
upon and instructions issued for
the drawing of a check.
The check forthwith was prop
erly signed. It was for two dol.
lars and no cents, and was made
out to Amos and Andy, nationally
known blackface comedians Of
the air.
Ostensibly the loan was made
to help carry out development
plans of "Weberville," a mythical
townsip created by the fertile
brains of Amos N Andy for the
amusement of their followers.
Whether the loan" was duly
entered on the books of the RFC
has not yet been revealed, but

real names are Freeman Gosden

BANKERS ASSA|L
PERSECUTION
Of NEW DEAL
Claim Policies Are Hampering
Rather Than Helping
Business About Them
By EUGENE A. KELLY

Charges of persecution by the
Federal Government were hurled
today by IL bankers, who declared
New Deal policies are hampering
rather than helping the banking
business in their section.
7 The bankers interviewed are all
delegates to the American Bank
ers Association convention and
represent a cross-section of the ma
tons banking business. The spe-
cific charges made were:
1. Uncertainty of the New Deals
monetary policy has caused bank.
ers to be overcautious in making
loans.
Tax Drive Hit
2. The Treasury Departments
spirited drive for the collection Of
past taxes is a contributing factor
in the present stagnation of the
banking business.
3. Interest payments on deposits
are too high.
One president of a bank in
Northeastern Pennsylvania said
the Federal Housing Administra.
ton was "a flop" and that since
it's inception he has not had a
single application for a loan. The
same banker declared many Of
the bankers at the convention here
would like to talk but they fear
the reprisals of the Federal Gov
eminent, "who have the upper
hand"
Call it Persecution"
A distinguished banker from
California said if bankers had any
idea what the New Dealers were
doing with the money of the coun-
try, there would be q sudden out.
burst of buying and loaning.
All bankers interviewed agreed
that the Treasury's drive for back
taxes is mot only a form of per-
secution, but working untold hard
ships on the smaller banks"
The bankers we're in accord
with their charges that the inter
est rate paid on deposits is en-
ttrely too high, and that the Fed.
eral Government has and should
exercise the authority to reduce
them. One of the bankers added
that certain items which formerly
were allowed as losses by bank ex-
aminers are today not considered
as such by Treasury authorities,
and that, therefore. they are be-
ing forced to pay back taxes
which legally should not be con-
Sldered as such.
Hecht New President
At this mornings session of the
association in the National The
alter, Rudolf S. Hecht, of New
Orleans, was elected president Of
the American Bankers Association
to succeed Francis Marion Law.
Washington was honored with
the election of Robert V. Fleming
president of the Riggs National
Bank, as first vice president of
the association. This automatic
ally puts Mr.. Fleming in line for
the presidency next year.

Of 1884 she had bought abroad
goods to the value of $4,000. 900
marks more than she had sold
abroad.
Today she can borrow no money
for nobody will lend her any.
Therefore in order to balance her
foreign trade she must either in
crease her exports or diminish
her imports. There is little or no
hope she can increase her ex-
ports.
She is faced therefore with the
imperative necessity of reducing
her imports still further.
Here is Germany's greatest diff
ficulty. For it is not enough
merely to reduce the total i'm
ports by the amount of the i'm
ports surplus, namely about AGO.

reduce her imports from each
country practically to the amount

NEW RAIL LOAN
PLAN limited BY.
PRESIDE n 7
Lower Interest Rate on Cash
For Rails Would Aid
Steel Industry, Belief
BY EARL GOODWIN

Further indications that the
Government is ready and anxious
to put life into the tagging
"heavy industries" came from
President Roosevelt today when
he told his press conference that
he believed PWA money could be
loaned to railroads next year
at a lower rate of interest than
previously.
Money for steel rails had been
loaned out of PWA funds at Az
per cent. The President said he
believed this rate could be cut
to 81 per cent.
Steel Needs Aid
1t is known that the Admins
tration is keenly alive to the fact
that all possible aid is needed
to get the wheels turning in the
steel business and allied indus.
tries. The Presidents expressions
today are confirmation of this.
The President is also watching
the situation in the oil business
With gas prices tumbling in a vici.
GUS price war, the President today
was asked about the Governments
attitude. He made it clear that il
a way could be found to prevent
the "wild-catting" of surplus crude
oil, he would favor it. He indi
Gated, however, that there has sc
far been found no practical meth
cd of enforcement of any plan tt

flooding the country.
Bank Speech Not Ready
The Presidents speech to thu
American Bankers Association to
night is not yet on paper, he said
It will be dictated later today anc
probably will not be given out tx
newspapers until shortly before hi
leaves for the convention hall.
California excitement over thu
political war for and against Uptor
Sinclair. Democratic nominee fol
governor, has not ruffled the
President. Although Mr.. Sinclair
has sent the President a wire deny
ing newspaper reports that he had
claimed presidential support, PreSi
dent Roosevelt said today he had
not yet seen the telegram.
His answers to inquiries or
the California subject revealed
no light as to his attitude to
ward the Sinclair political stu
alton which has held the ma
tional limelight for the past day
or so.
Silent on G. o. P. Charge
Nor did the President permit
himself to be dragged into a dis
cusSion of the row between the
two parties on the Republican
charge that the Democrats are
using the expenditure Of relief
and other Federal recovery funds
as political arguments.
