CAPITAL DEPOSITS
MOUNT STEADILY
Progress Cited in Preamble
to Resolutions at An
nuaI Session.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Deposits in Washington banks are
mounting steadily, according to the
preamble to the resolutions adopted
by the District Bankers Association at
the conclusion of the seventeenth an
nual convention at White Sulphur
Springs yesterday.
On June /, 1888, the deposits in all
groups Of banks-national, State,
savings and trust companies-in the
District of Columbia amounted to
S214000,000. On May %, 1884, the 20
banks that were open year ago held
deposits of S233 100000. The number
of banks has been increased to 81 by
the opening Of the Hamilton National,
which added $13,000000 of deposits,
making the total deposits in all local
banks s246,oO0 900 on May %, 1884.
Many of the fears that existed
year ago have been swept aside and
there is more confidence among bank
ers and their depositors. A year ago
the quick assets of all the local banks
and trust companies, the resolutions
preamble said, was 52.8 per cent May
p. 1884, 1t was 60 4-l0 per cent, which
indicates that steady liquidation OF
loans has occurred during the year
and that bank depositors have re-
gained confidence in their banks, due
no doubt largely to the temporary in
surance of all bank deposits up to
So 500.
The preamble added that while the
increase in deposits and the growth
in excess reserves umong the local
banks is in harmony with conditions
that prevail elsewhere, it must be re-
membered that Washington is singu-
larly fortunate because of the large
Government pay rolls that place
money in circulation freely month
after month.

FOR DEATH QUIZ
Police Character Picked Up
for Questioning in
Walsh Murder.

Theodore CTed) Geisking, 26, OF
TOO Ft. Wayne avenue, known tc
police as a liquor hijacker during
the prohibition era, early today was
arrested for questioning in connec-
ton with the murder of Raymond
j. Walsh, SO, several weeks ago.
Geisking was arrested by police
squads under Sergeants Harry
Schley and Frank Reilly at room
ing house at 1929 North Alabama
street, on request of detectives in
vestigating the Walsh Staying. He
was slated on vagrancy charges.
under $4,000 bond.
Detectives refused to disclose their
reasons for wishing to question
Geisking.
Seven men held on vagrancy
charges for questioning in the case
were dismissed several days ago
when detectives admitted they chad
nothing on them
The homicide squad, under Lieu
tenant Donald Tooley, is working on
a new theory in the case, believing
Walsh may have been shot else
where and his body taken to the
FIT. Wayne avenue rooming house
where it was found by police.
Walsh was reputed to have been
a former hijacker, but had been
employed as a civil works admin
istration employe for some time be-
fore his death.

SENATE ATTACK
ON NRA STIRS
GEN. JOHNSON
Recovery Act Chief Begs
Retailers to Keep
Down Prices.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-"Keep
prices down-for Gods sake, keep
prices down"
This warning to business men, de-
livered by NRA Administrator Hugh
S. johnson in New York speech to
retailers, stood today as NRA's re-
joinder to senate attacks on mo-
nopohstic" tendencies in codes.
1t followed senate speeches by
Senator Gerald p Nye rep, N. d.
demanding administrative reform to
curb prices and big business mo-
nopolies, and by Senator William E.
Borah (Rep, Idaho, who said MOTH
ing less than the renewal of the
suspended antitrust laws will bring
real codes of fair competition.
Senator Carter Glass Dem, Va)
presented complaints of small south
ern business men against code
wages, and Senator Edward P. Co.'S
tigan Dem, Colo.) indicated be-
lief that there has been no ade-
quate compensatory benefits for
antitrust law suspension.
General Johnson'S speech dis
closed that a secret federal trade
commission Investigators report,
charging NRA had made mis-.
takes" has been sent to President
Roosevelt, but apparently was ig-
nored.
He also announced to employers
that NRA would insist" on shorter
work-weekS than the forty hours
now provided in nearly all the 217
codes signed so far.
General johnson followed the
senate debate on NRA closely, re-
ceiving telephone reports in New
York.
Senator Wagner (Dem., N. ",
co-author of the recovery act, who
himself favors strengthening its la
Dor provisions, is expected to reply
to the NyeBorah criticism in few
days with report on NRA's first
seven months of operation.

Hours in the Air.
GOVERNOR PAUL v. M'NUTT

GOVERNOR PAUL v. M'NUTT
" is up in the air" a great deal
of the time, and not in the man
ner charged to him by some of
his political enemies.
Returning from the Evansville
district Democratic meeting by
airplane Wednesday night, the
Governor estimated that he has
spent more than 500 hours in day
and night flying.
Back in 1929, when touring the
states as national commander of
the American Legion, he crossed
the Rocky mountains by plane.
Then, as now, many of his trips
were night flights and when they
are of great length he often re-
lieves the pilot at the controls.
Before his nomination last year
he made flight to Florida in the
private plane of Thomas Taggart
Jr.. Democratic national commit
teeman from Indiana, and has
made many flights to French Lick
in the Taggart plane, since that
time.
En- route to Florida after Christ
mas this year, he flew as far as
Atlanta. Ga. Pilot on that trip, as
on the Evansville jaunt, was Lieu
tenant Howard Maxwell of the
Indiana National Guard squadron.
The plane is a ship which for
merly belonged to Norman Perry
and was donated by him to the
city Of Indianapolis, which. in
turn. leased it to the state for ST
a year. according to Adjutant-
General Elmer F. Straub.

TAX PLOTTERS
FACE EXPOSURE
Treasury Plan Would Have
Advisers Sign Income
Levy Returns.
BIZ United Press

~ nfffn Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Treas-
ury officials from Secretly Henry
Morgenthau Jr. down, believed to-
day that a lot of high-priced law
yers, tax experts and accountants
shortly are going to e gazing
around and about wondering what
hit them.
Mr.. Morgenthau was delighted
with a plan urged by Earle Bailie,
recently a special treasury aid, be-
fore he bundled up his luggage and
returned to Wall street.
The plan is that lawyers and 9TH
ers who plot for their clients the
frequently devious paths by which
income tax is escaped be publicly
identified.
The capital is tremendously in
terested in the program. 1t is,
briefly, that lawyers, tax experts,
accountants and others giving pro-
fessiOnal income tax advice and
preparing returns shall sign the re-
turn along with the taxpayer. The
taxpayer also will be required to
state whether he consulted an ex-
pert even if he prepared his own
return. If there was a consult
ant. he must be named, too.
The department has been con-
frOnted in a number of cases." the
treasury announcement said, with
the assertion that the errors or
even fraud which its agents have
unearthed resulted from the advice
of some professional persons, pre-
viOuSly unnamed.
The purpose of these regula-
tons is to fix the responsibility
where it belongs. They are in
tended to insure a higher degree of
accuracy and care by the profess
Sional advisers who have actually
prepared the return"

Denies Mail
Plot Charge
Indy Backers Are Called
Cheap Promoters in
Senate Probe.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-Senate
air mail contract investigators to-
day studied testimony of William
Sacks, air mail contract entrepre-
neur, public spirited citizen OF St
Louis and politician, regarding his
activities in seeking to obtain mail
contract for the Robertson Brothers
original Lindbergh flight hackers.
A blunt character who knows
many politicians casually from
having met them at Republican ma
tional conventions, Mr.. Sacks
heatedly denounced the Roberts
sons. He described William B. Rob
ertson as cheap promoter" who
"was trying to ride on windy"
The denunciation followed testi-
mony by the Robertsons that Mr.
Sacks sought to interject himself
into the contract negotiations
against their will, but with the
backing of the late P. D. G. Ball
owner of the st. Louis Browns base
ball club, who had contributed sub
stantial backing to the Robertson
Air Service, Inc.
Politics Center Quiz
Mr.. Ball, Frank Robertson said
expressed a conviction that Mr.
Sacks would have to be dealt with
in order to obtain an air mail con-
tract between st. Louis and New
Orleans because it's chiefly polit-
ical."
Mr.. Ball explained at the time
Frank Robertson testified, that Mr.
Brown was seeking a favor of Mr.
Sacks, namely the Missouri delega-
ton to the 1882 convention to sup
port Herbert Hoover's denomination
The delegation went for Governor
Frank Lowden in 1928.
Denies All Charges
A Welter of conflicting testimony
indicated that the RobertsonS die
not want to deal with Mr.. Sacks
who, one of them said, wanted S
per cent cut on the mail route pro-
ceeds. He also asked, itswaS tes-
tilted, a $4,000 contribution to the
campaign fund of Leonidas c. Dyer,
former congressman.
Mr.. Sacks denied all these claims
categorically, though admitting he
knew Postmaster General Walter
Brown in charge of the mail con-
tracts and had seen him twice for
the Robertson line.
The investigation was in recess
until Tuesday.

Attempts to Obtain SpeCia
FaVorS Failed, Says
Alcohol Chief.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Some
psychologists of the Democratic
national committee who are being
forced out of Office by President
Roosevelt embraced the federal al
cohol control administration in their
practice" it was revealed today.
So far as could be learned, their
representations to importers that
they could expedite liquor allot-
ments were of no avail. Joseph H.
Choate Jr., alcohol administration
head, said all requests were treated
on the same basis.
I'VE received letters from some of
the gentlemen who were mentioned
in the newspapers" he said, adding
that none of them, so far as he
knew, had made any personal APP
pearance before his administration
Mr.. Choate was interested in re-
ports that a fee of cents a gal
lon was asked for "interceding" with
the control administration. Another
report said that a straight fee OF
81 900 was fixed by one of the ma
tional committee lawyers.
80 far as I know the lawyer
service was of no avail in any case,
Mr.. Choate said.
Recently the FACA issued a gen.
eral order pointing out that it is MOI
necessary for any one dealing with
it to employ representation.
Many applicants for import per.
mits apparently have felt that il
was necessary to engage the serv-
ices of local representatives" the
order reads.
although this is erroneous, such
representatives will, of course, bt
recognized. The order specified
however, that only one representa-
tive would be permitted"
AS indications grew today that
other designations would follow
those of Bruce Kremer, Montana
Robert H. Jackson, New Hampshire
and Max Gardner, North Carolina
the shakeup in the national COM
mittee occasioned by President
RoOsevelt's condemnation of com
mittee lobbyists became a source OF
lively political interest.
Some Republicans were consider
ing today whether they would capt.
talize it, possibly by asking a con-
gresSional investigation. The leader
in this group is Senator L. j. Dick
inSon (Rep., Iowa., the most per-
SiStent critic of the Roosevelt new
deal.
Other Republican leaders advised
against any such move, pointing out
that former Postmaster General
Walter Brown, once chairman of
their party's national committee
now is under investigation by a
senate committee and recalling that
former Chairman Claudius Huston
and Robert Lucas, former executive
committee chairman, were raked
over the Goals in the senate for
some of their activities.
Senator Arthur Vandenbere
Rep., Mich) introduced a bill
making it illegal for any national
committee member to practice be-
fore government agency. He dis
claimed any political motive, ex-
planning he had prepared the meas
ure ten days ago, and praising
President Roosevelt for his stand.
Inquiry today developed that Jed
Adams, a member of the United
States board of tax appeals, is a ma
tional committeeman from Texas,
and the question was raised as to
whether he would give up his men,
berShip on the committee.
