Smell is one OF the few Republicans
still holding a high officisl position
Every one has expected for some
time that he would be put forward
seriously by his friends.
But the mention Of BorGh has
more interesting origin and
background. EUen some OF his
enemies in the Republican Party
hare been thinking for long time
that Borah is the strongest man
lCh0 could be nominated in the
ertstino situation. The Repubii-
cans IDunt the tdrns States back,
and BorGh is the logical man to
get them. He is leading much Of
the most serious opposition to the
neU deal.
Yet those who know Borah most
intimately are convinced he will not
consent to be drafted Inwardly, he
Is more angry about the Republican
set-up than he Is about the new
deal. A rather widespread organiza-
ton of young Republicans has clus-
tered around him out through the
Middle West. He would like to fan
them into flames, but whether he
would care to undertake a presiden-
tial campaign in his 7lst year Che is
SO now is another question. He GER
tainly would not consent to be a

Hawaii Trip Criticized.
There has been more inside than
outside criticism about President
Roosevelt going of to Hawaii for
such a length of time WI lie a more
than-Seasonal Summer slump was in
progress.
For this reason, the President will
spend less time at Hyde Park and
Warm Springs than had been planned
for the next four months. However.
similar criticism cannot legitimately
be made regarding excursions to those
two places, as he usually takes the
Capital with him when he goes.
Price-Fixing to Go.
The price fixing features of N. r.
A will be restricted measurably after
Mr. Roosevelt returns. That angle
of the N. r. A. will be gradually
abandoned, eliminating such criticism
as Senator Borah has been making
lately.
This action will be stimulated by a
report due shortly from Mr.. Roose-
velts secret cabinet committee, ap-
pointed to go into the legality and
advisability of Federal price-fixing
measures. The report will advise

BY the Associated Press
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
reported yesterday that the cost Of
insuring bank deposits for the first
six months of operation amounted to
less than 6 cents per thousand dollars,
The insurance corporation virtually
guarantees individual bank deposits
in member institutions up TO 5000.
The banks are assessed to pay for the
insurance fund.
The corporation said only one bank
whose deposits were insured. an East
Peoria, ILL.,, institution had failed dur
ing the six months ending June
80. The insured deposit liabilities
amounted to $l23,00O. -Four insured
banks, however, have closed since
June 80.
The insured accounts on June 80
numbered 56,000,000 representing de-
posits Of $4,000. 900 900. although the
withdrawal Of 1873 institutions at the
close Of the six-month period reduced
these figures to $4,000 900 insured ac-
counts and about Sl2, ,000, 900 900 OF in
sured deposits.
Leo I. OTOWieys chairman OF the
corporation, said securities held had
risen approximately s7.500.O00 in
market value since their purchase,
although carried on the books at
cost.
Only one-fourth Of per cent of
the insured deposits has been assessed
against participating banks, although
the law permits a l per cent levy.
Any bank assessment loss, Crowley
said, had been more than compen-
sated for by reduction Of interest
on savings deposits.

payment of more than per cent .in-
terest on time deposits and Of any

BERLIN, August 9.-Germany's
Protestant pastors and church officials
will be required to take an oath OF
fealty to Chancellor Hitler, Just as
Nazi Storm Troops and members oi
the regular army did last week.
This important step to secure Hitler
uniform support following his as
sumption of the powers of President

Nazi commissioner for Protestant
churches.
Jaeger at the same time explained
new rules to be imposed by the Ma
tional Synod today which will deliver

men). srsf3 49n
Stamp Out Opposition. 81 -
They appear designed to stamp out
independent thought and action by
the clergy. q considerable number OF
whom have strongly opposed Muel-
leF's dictatorial steps toward achiev-
ing the Nazi program of a unified
Protestant Church.
The new measures. as DR.. Jaeger
put it, will end all foolish talk about
violation of law and justice"
They will be voted into effect by
Mueller's rubber-stamp synod, called
into session without the knowledge OF
the general public. At the same time
the synod Is scheduled to disenfran-
chise itself.
A clause will be adopted so that in
the future mot balloting but brother
ly discussions will be used" explained
DR.. Jaeger.
Mueller, who already bears unusual
powers. will become supreme lawmaker
and church authority.
Recognizes Der Feuhrer.
The oath of fealty will call for
recognition of Der Feuhrer" (Hitler)
of Volkspum lnationalism) and OF
"the will to sacrifice"

victory at Magdeburg by obtaining
