To RETURN
BANK DEPOSITS
FINDS FAVOR
Growing Sentiment Is Seen for
Mcleod Measure to Free
Frozen Funds
BY HON. BROOKS FLETCHER
Democratic Representative from
Ohio

There is growing sentiment IN
Congress for enactment of the Nc
Leod bill authorizing the RFC to
release to depositors funds now
held in closed banks.
A great measure of good would
come from legislation of this
character providing the burden
on the Federal Government be
minimized and return payment
to the RFC be practically as.
sured over a 10-year period.
Returns Deposits in Full
The Mcleod bill proposes to
return in full to depositors monies
now held in the closed banks,
the burden of collection being
lodged with the RFC.
According to figures submitted
by the Comptroller of the Cur
rency it is assumed that the RFC
would be left with a portion of
such deposits uncollectible based
on the past history of liquidated
banks since 1865, the Comptroller
indicating that between so and
10 per cent of the deposits are
secured through liquidation.
U. S. Would Not Lose
To give immediate relief to de-
positors in closed banks and cir
cumvent the objections to the Nc
Leod bill it occurs to me that
there is justification for approval
of an amended bill that will re-
lease two-thirds of the deposits
in the closed banks through the
RFC, the provisions of the Nc
Leod measure to apply in secur'
ing reimbursement to the Federal
Government.
Such advances would be com.
parable to the loans made to va.
rious institutions by the RFC and
would carry with them some as.
surance that the Government
would not lose by coming to the
rescue of depositors at this time.

Opposition to the proposed abolition
of the Board of Trustees of the Public

supplement to public schools and as
an agency for adult education was ex-
pressed by Charles s. Embrey, dele

sociations and author Of the resolu-

NEW YORK, October 31.-The bond

even price range today with trading
interest at low ebb.
Some of the United States Govern
ment issues were rather actively

largest dealings were in Home Owners

then came back to 9s.19 for a net loss
of 3-32ds of point. A heavy volume
was done in this issue yesterday, and
while the privilege Of exchanging them
for the fully guaranteed IS has ex-
pired, dealers attributed the unusual
activity to switching from some of the

Shakespeare at the Wedding.
(New York Times.)


 Two of King Georges younger sons bear titles which more of their luster to Shakespeare than to English history. Duke of York and Duke of Gloucester (Gloster) live because of Henry VI" and Richard III" and the Wars of the Roses and My kingdom for horse!" The youngest son and bride groom of last Thanksgiving Day is Duke of Kent and the last to hold the title Queen Vic tora's father. But there is a Kent in Shakespeare not Duke but an Earl, who is one of the noblest figures in the Collected Works.
 Kent is the frank and loyal servant who warns King Lear against his rash abdication of power at the opening of the play. He is banished from the kingdom under pain of death, returns in disguise and offers his services to the old King, who says What art thou?" Kent replies "A man, sir and proceeds to state his qualifications:
 I do profess to be less than I seem: to serve him truly that will put in trust to love him that is honest; to with him that is wise, and says little; to fear judgment; to fight when I cannot choose; and to eat fish.
 He amplifies this later:
 I keep honest counsel, ride run, a curious tale in the telling, and de- liver a plain message bluntly that which ordinary are fit for qualified in; and the best of me is diligence
