PARK KDEPOS|TORS'
TIME EXTENDED
Claims May Be Filed Until
80 Days After Court
Decision.

Depositors and creditors of the Park
Savings Bank have been given more
time to file their claims against the
institution, it was learned today.
Controller Of the Currency J. F. T.
o-Ccnnor has notified Receiver John
F, Moran to extend the time for re-
ceipt of claims from March 4 where
it is fixed. to day which will
be 80 days after the Park Savings
Bank case, now pending in District
Supreme Court. is decided.
The controller acted after a'peti-
tion had been filed in District Su-
preme Court by the Depositors' Com
mittee asking the court to lift the
limitation upon filing of claims. No
decision was reached by Justice Jesse
C. Adkins, who has the case under
advisement, out the controller. deslr-
ing to satisfy any depositor or cred
itor who might consider his rights
in jeopardy, changed the official final
date for receipt of claims.
Case Pending.
The Depcsitors' Committee. through
its attorneys, E. Hilton jackson and
William E. Richardson, had pointed
out that the case of the Park Saw
ings Bank was pending before the
court and that some depositors had
not filed claims with the Treasury
Departments receiver because they
had been advised the receiver had no
authority to receive these claims
The Depositors' Committee said: "It
is obviously unfair to the various
depositors of the Park Savings Bank
to endanger their future rights while
this litigation is in its present con-
dition to place such limitation upon
the filing of claims by them or to at
tempt to force them to admit the
Jurisdiction of the controller OF the
currency" The Depositors' Commit
tee asked for an order from the court
requiring the receiver to advance the
date for receipt of claims until such
time as the court may hereafter per-
NIT said order to be continued.
Acting Under Law.
The controller, it was explained
today, was acting under law when
he had his receiver place the limita-
ton on filing of claims within the
period of three consecutive months. "
The DepoSitors' Committee in the
principal suit in equity is still trying
to oust the Treasury Department re-
ceiver and to replace him with a
receiver appointed by the court. The
depositors also are attempting to
collect the huge losses of more than
100000 from the directors of the
bank.

LEISURE TIME

THERE'S a middlewestern business man
n who owns a small factory, and ever since
last summer he has been an ardent booster
for NRA. So a little while ago he decided
that he ought to make another cut in work.
ing hours at his plant, and he asked his en-
ployes whether they preferred to work a five
day week or six days with shorter hours each
day.
To his amazement, they voted overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the six-day week And when
he asked them why, a spokesman told him:
Well, the boys figure they won't have
much use for that extra day if they do get it.
They'll just hang around the house, doing
everything from putting up screens to weed
ing the lawn and minding the baby. So they
figured they'd rather work the six days"
Now here is a little angle to this problem
which most of us probably hadn't thought of
before. Maybe it means that some men find
their wives harder taskmaSters than their
bosses, and maybe it just means that people
hate to get out of an accustomed groove; but
either way it seems to indicate that there
really is some reason for all this talk about
the necessity of training people to make prof
liable use of their leisure time.
Whatever may happen to the NRA, it is
very probable that the trend toward a shorter
working week is going to continue for a long
time to come.
That means that the average man will
have more spare time in the future than he
ever had in the past. Less of his life will be
filled by his job; more of it will be his to do
with as he sees At
Now, if there really is any very large num-
Der of men who simply don't know what to
do with themselves when they get an extra
holiday every week, this business of training
them in proper use of their leisure is going
to become pretty important.
1t would be foolish, of course, to suppose
that all men will want to use their spare time
in the same way. But there are so many things
to do with an extra day a week! Some men
enjoy taking care of their gardens; others
like to climb in the car and take the family
out for an all-day drive in the country; others
like to play golf, others like to go in for
amateur carpentry, still others like to rig up
a sailboat and get out on the water.
The list of possibilities is endless; what we
need is to have them tabulated and described
for the benefit of people who have spare time
they don't know how to use.

TO BE REMEMBERED

EEW public men in American history occupy
l. a niche quite like the one reserved for
the late William H. Woodin.
A great many others have stepped into
important jobs in time of stress and acquitted
themselves we'll; but none of them evel
brought quite that combination of jaunty and
unworried good humor to the job-and never
was that particular quality so badly needed
as it was in Mr.. Woodin's case.
We all had the ~jitters, when Mr.. Woodin
took over the treasury secretaryship; we had
them bad, and the whole stream of finance
seemed to have turned into a horrible whirl-
pool. And there, all of a sudden, was Mr..
Woodin, perpetually smiling an elfln little
smile, and being so happy and high-spirited
about things that he suddenly had us per-
suaded that things weren't so bad after all.
He banished our filters, in other words, simply
by showing that he didn't have any filters
himself. We owe him a good deal for that
job.

immigration service sent to congress a men,
orandum, proving legal laxity in Kidding the
country of undesirable aliens and harshness
in the treatment of desirables. A record of
235 criminal aliens of New York and Chicago
shows how the laws meshes permit some of
the worst types to remain here. Also he ap-
pended the able study of ass deportaole aliens,
Just made by the Ellis island committee.
The first study revealed one undeportable
alien who spent ten years in prison out of
twenty-seven in America. Another had been
convicted twenty-three INES.
The second study covered many pathetic
cases of helpless and innocent alien families.
One man, who has lived here fifty years and
reared a fine family, is deportable because of a
Christmas visit to Canada. Two little girls,
illegally brought here as infants, must be torn
from a good home. If the present laws are
enforced in these 465 cases, the deportees will
leave tranded here 987 relatives, of whom 665
probably will become public charges.
Congress should correct these senseless and
cruei provisions of the law.
