i. s. CREDIT UNION
BILL IS APPROVED
House Banking Committee
Speeds Action After Call
From White House.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
A telephone call from the White
House sent the House Banking Com
mittee into hurried session yesterday
and brought from 1t a favorable re-
port on legislation designed to help
individuals get small loans at low
interest rates.
Unanimously, the committee ap-
proved an amended Senate bill to
establish a Federal credit union sys-
tenn throughout the Nation. Chair
man Steagau was authorized to take
whatever steps he thought necessary
to get the measure through the House.
The bill would let any seven or
more persons swear out an organiza-
ton certificate for the creation Of q
Federal credit union. It's shares
would have a par value Of S. each,
and its life would be unlimited.
The certificate then would be pre-
sented to the governor Of the Farm
Credit Administration, and upon his
approval a charter would be issued.
Each year the Credit Union would
pay not more than $40 to the Farm
Credit Administration governor, and
would make such financial reports as
he directed.
The union could make two-year
loans to its members at interest rates
of not more than / per cent month.
Membership would be granted upon
the subscription to one share Of stock
and the membership fee, but would
be limited to persons closely associat-
ed in business or home life-the en-
ployes in one ONCE, for instance.

Mrs. Hammond Says Nine
National Committee
Women Signed Plea.
By the Associated Press.

By the Aosociatedfress.
Mrs. Hilda Phelps Hammond Of
New Orleans, chairman Of the Wom-
ems Committee of Louisiana, said
yesterday she had filed with the Sen
ate a petition signed by nine national
committeewomen urging a fair in
vestigation into charges that Senator
Overton of Louisiana was fraudu-
lently elected with the aid Of Senator
Long.
The Senate Elections Committee
has held several hearings on the
charges, but has not yet made its
report to the Senate.
Signers Of Petition.
The petition was signed by Flora
Cotton Etter, Iowa; Mrs. Charles G
Ryan, Nebraska: Emma Guffey Mil
Ter, Pennsylvania; Gertrude Bowler,
Wisconsin, all Democrats; and Mrs
Mabel C. Batchelder, Massachusetts,
Mrs, Paul Fitzsimmons Rhode Island;
Mrs. Murray Boocock, Virginia; Mrs.
Harry Z. Thomas, Wisconsin, and
Virginia White Speel, District OF Co
lumbia, all Republicans.
The petition read:
I'VE, the undersigned national
committeewomen, request the Senate
of the United States to proceed ex-
peditiously with q full and fair in
vestigation, in open hearings, Of the
specific charges, authenticated under
oath, that have been filed by the
Women's Committee of louisiana
against Mr.. Long and Mr.. Overton
Must Protect Integrity.
1--WE feel that the Senate of the
United States must protect its in
tegrity and that it cannot afford to be
placed in the wrongful position OF
investigating charges of fraud and
corruption against private citizens ano
ignoring charges of fraud and corrup-
ton filed against its own members.
"a time has come for American
women to act. If suffrage for women
Is to be more than meaningless
duplication Of the efforts OF men n
politics, the American woman must

make q telling contribution to the
political life Of this country. She
must lead when men falter. she must
tend the lamp Of decency in national
Government when the spark fiickers;
she must lift up the torch Of honor
and justice when men in high places
let It fall; she must kindle ceaselessly
the light of truth which Is the birth
right Of the Nation.
I'VE, therefore, ask that the Senate
no longer delay q full and fearless
of the fraud and corrup-
ton charged against members Of the
highest legislative body Of this
country"
Mrs. Hammond said the petition
had been Endorsed by several other
national committeewomen, but that
she had not been able to obtain their
signatures before filing the petition.

ETHICS SURPASS
LAVA LB TOLD
Speaker Says Legislation
Can Never Halt Finan-
ciaI Collapse.

None Of the new banking legisla-
ton, proposed or enacted, can of
itself prevent q repetition Of the re-
cent financial collapse, o. Howard
Wolfe, cashier of the Philadelphia
National Bank, declared late yester-
day at the concluding session Of the
American Institute of Bankipgis
thirty-second annual convention.
The speaker criticized what he
called "muddled" public thinking and
said: a
1.-THE theory that sound banking
can be achieved by legislation Is
pretty well exploded. AS a matter
of fact, consider carefully first the
reasons for the banking upset in the
latter days Of the depression. and
then ask yourself If any single piece
Of new banking legislation that has
been proposed or enacted can Of itself
prevent o repetition of what happened
from 1926 to 1888, except to the ex-
tent it may reinspire public conf
dence"
Deposit insurance, he said, Is moth
ing more than a temporary expedi-
ent" to restore confidence in banks.
Urges Sound Doctrines.
Success of bankers In the future
depends on adherence to sound eco
nomic doctrines, courage to accept
and to work for new and better bank
ing practice and faith in the profess
sion and its essential soundness," said
Wolfe.
One of the most frequent fallacies
in public thinking is the theory that
the Government can and should
operate the banks, he asserted.
He said 1T should be pointed out
that there is no other business, pub
lie or private, so closely restricted
and regulated as the banking busi-
ness Not a bank failed but had
been subject to at least two examina-
tions annually. These examiners are
Government employees, and have no
thought whatever of criticizing them
in any way, but we must not expect
the impossible. BY what process can
a bank examiner be a better judge
Of credit than the bank that ex-
tended 1t?
Blames Speculation.
mo way will ever be devised by
which the Government can operate
the banks or any other industry ex-
cept through human agency. Yet
the idea will always prevail that
! somehow Government operation tram
! scends in intelligence, efficiency and
honesty any other form Of manage
ment."
The speaker attributed the depres-
sion to uncontrolled speculative buy
| ing Of securities.
What happened in Florida is what
happened in the country at large
when people bought securities as the
Florida spectators bought real estate,
not to be held, not for investment,
but merely to be sold at high price
| to the next fellow" he explained.
"All the legislation in the world will
not discourage the invincible opti-
mism that somehow we can get some
thing for nothing"
Urges Shift In A. I. B.

| ton of students and become an or
ganization Of teachers, he asserted.

Continent of Atlantis
Was Surrounded by Sea

The lost continent of Atlantis was
entirely surrounded by sea. 1t existed,
supposedly, between the Straits of Glib
raltar and the Mexican Gulf. 1t had
been a great empire Of tall, fair-haired,
blue-eyed men and women. Alleged
historical accounts agree that it was
inhabited by supermen who lived
peacefully and happily over long pc
Rod of years. The arts of civilization
of the present race were acquired, ac-
cording to historians, from this lost
race before it vanished beneath the
sea. A description of the lost CONT
nent has been furnished by Plato.
1.-THE whole country" he relates.

BROWNS VALLEY
MAN NATIONS
OLDEST CITIZEN

Browns Valley Man hunted the
woolly mammoth and the mastodon
In the Minnesota woods equipped
with spearheads of flint. That
was 10000 years ago, little more
than 10000 years after the northern
section Of what Is now the United
States had emerged from beneath
the mlle-thick blanket Of Ice that
covered 1t during the Glacial age.
He Is Americas Oldest known citizen.
The discovery of Browns Valley
man is the most important find to
date In the study of ancient man In
America. 1t marks a decided victory
for those who think that man has
been in the New world for a consid-
cradle period of time. 1t is defeat
for those who think that man en-
tered the New world by way of
Alaska less than 10000 years ago.
The type of spear with which
Browns Valley Man hunted Is not
new to anthropologlsts. The spear
heads of Clipped flint, known as
Folsom or Yuma points, from the To-
calities in which they were first
found, have long been centers Of
stormy battles. They have been
found associated with bones of ex-
tinct mammals. But one school of
American anthropology has insisted
upon calling the association an ac-
cident. No human remains had ever
been found in association with them.
This time, however, the shattered
remnants of a human skeleton have
been found In gravel pit associat-
ed with such spearheads. These
splinters of bone, found in Browns
Valley, near Fertile, Mimi, have been
named Browns Valley Man.
William II. Jensen, an amateur
anthropologist, first noticed the
spearheads and the splinters of bone
when some workmen under his direc-
ton were excavating in the gravel
pit. He communicated with DR.. AL
bert E. jenkins of the University of
Minnesota.
DIR. Frank Leverett, authority on
the Glacial age, examined the pit
and pronounced it as geological
formation twelve thousand years
old. - David Dietz, straightforward

World-Telegram.
