FLETCHER
By SENATOR DUNCAN U.
FLETCHER

Chairman Of the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee
The new year finds business
generally on the upgrade. We are
pulling out of the depression.
Reports to me indicate the worst
Of the depression is back Of us.
The way people spent money for
Christmas presents was an un,
mistakable sign of better times.
Business improvement is evident
by an increase in money circula'
ton as we'll as greater turn
over Of the money in the hands
Of the people.
I do not believe there will be
any unorthodox monetary legisla-
tion at the forthcoming session OF
Congress. Certainly we are not
going to have any wild initiation.
There is no need for legislation
to create a central government
bank to take over the private
banking business. We already have
a central bank in the Federal
Reserve Board and the Treasury
Department.
What business wants most now
is assurance of no radical legiSla-
tion and I agree with that de-
mand. Business men need have
no fear that Congress is going to
pass radical legislation.
The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation is working Splendidly.
Its creation was one of the most
important things done by Con-
gress.
There will be some amend
mentS to the National Industrial
Recovery act to put it on a per-
manent basis, but no one knows
just what they will be.
The Securities Exchange act is
also working out all right. We
don't need any amendments.

this, and the community is the
better for it.

Of ARMY
By International News Service


Opening a new drive in Congress
for an adequate Army, Senator
Morris Sheppard D0, Of Texas,
called today for legislation to
build up the nations land defenses.
Senator Sheppard, chairman of
the Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee, recommended an expan-
sion program to be spread over
several years, with view to car
rying out policies laid down in
the national defense act. He said:
"Our Army today is made
auate. We should build it as fast
as the finances Of the Govern
ment will permit"
Warning by Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, Chief OF Staff, IN his
annual report, that the Army has
been reduced to a skeleton, was
commended by Senator Sheppard,
with a reminder the Army is less
than a skeleton" in strength.
He said
II hope every citizen may
have the opportunity to read
and ponder General MacArthur's
report.
TN doing so it should be borne
in mind that in the last analysis
our military policy is simply an
other name for our national in
Surance policy.
"Unless that policy is backed
by the assets and resources of
proper military establishment;
unless the premiums on that pol
icy in the form of sufficient an
nual appropriations are paid,
our national insurance and with
it the security of our national
existence will lapse"
General Macarthur recon-
mended a Regular Army of 1861
900 men, compared with the pres
ent enlisted personnel of $4,000.
Senator Sheppard said he was in
accord with that recommendation.

Caught On Air.

To the Editor of The Times:
The plan to broadcast proceed
ings in Police Traffic Court is
a noble one, and should not be
allowed to stale. In my opinion
it will not only prove effective
in curbing accidents in the
District and area, but will give
We early morning radio fans a
delightful program, for which
we are solely in need.
Aside from the "entertain-
ment" feature, and speaking as
a motorist, il should go far to
encourage safe driving, and
above all, sober driving.
I am sure that no one wants
to testify under oath, not only
before a crowded court. but to
thousands of radio listeners,
just how much he had imbibed
before being arrested on a
charge of traffic violation.
Let us hope this program IS
taken under serious conSidera-
tion by the powers that be and
put on the air at an early date.

Curb Crime BY Actor

Curb Crime BY Action
To the Editor of The Times:
I was very much impressed
with both the timeliness and
the tenor of your recent edi-
torial on the widely publicized
Crime Conference held in Wash
ington. Your suggestion that
immediate steps should be taken
to put into concrete form the
numerous recommendations of
the conference will have the
unqualified approval Of all
thinking men and women.
The history of all such con-
ferences in the past has shown
that while they create a great
furor for the moment, the fever
soon passes, nothing is done
about it and a lot of "hot air"
is the net result to the public.
It is not necessary to dilate
any further on the crime sit
uation in this country, nor is
it necessary to indulge in any
more TALK about it.
The Hearst papers can rem
der no more important service
to the general public than to
force this crime issue to a
showdown and compel the
steps necessary to curb this
reign of outlawry that is i'm
perilling the safety of our coun-
try far more than the shadow
Of another war.
