would grant authority for financing
foreign trade and extend the corpora
tons functions In other directions.
Whether the bill had the approval
Of President Roosevelt was not i'm
Mediately disclosed, but many argued

known Of the proposal.
Taking cognizance Of steps already
under way to create system OF fed
eral intermediate credit banks under
the federal reserve board tor lending
to industry, Jones said the board did
not want to oppose that proposal.
Plan Five.Year Loans
The RIG bill would authorize loans
up to five years to industrial and
commercial concerns ito enable such
business to obtain working capital, re-
duce and refinance its outstanding
indebtedness, or make plant improve
n1ents or requirements"

to companies employing 10 people or
more, that were fully complying with
tho NRAx.

purchase q participation" up to IS
| per cent In loans for commercial and
industrial purposes by private banks.
Jones personally recommended that
federal reserve banks be given au-
thortty to make loans, with the ap-
pgoval Of the reserve board, to COM
merce and industry for Is long q five
years.
Under the private loan provision
Of the bill, the RIG would be per-
mitted to loan to ANY established in
dustrial o. commercial business on

counts, purchase Of securities or 9th.
erwise for the purposes stated.
Under the foreign financing Sec
ton. the RIG would be authorized to
extend credit to expand trade either
BY direct loans to exporters up to five
years, or through export banks owned
ty the United States.
Another significant section Of the
ELL. designed to facilitate the reor.
ganization Of railroads, would permit
the corporation to compromise claims
against carriers with the approval Of
the interstate commerce commission.

United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-As
isolated from the world as though
he were a castaWay on desert
isle, Alphonse (Scarface AD Capon7,
cnce the nation IS No. l gangster,
began a new type of existence to-
day in the new federal prison on
Alcatraz Island.
Capone has been in other prisons
during his career from the side
walks of New York to the top of
the Chicago underworld, but never
in one like the old Spanish fortress
washed by the swift currents which
flow into San Francisco bay from
the Golden Gate.
The new prison, already called
the "American DEVILS Island" is
designed to cut off its inmates COM
pletely from contacts with the rest
of the world.
Federal authorities, charged with
keeping Capone six more years on
an income tax violation conviction,
desired this isolation for the for
mer gangland leader. That is why
he is here along with &c other fed
eral prisoners. Eventually, tn e
number will be increased to 200.
Gloomy old Alcatraz stands a mile
and one-fourth from the nearest
shore. Watch towers project from
the castlelike battlements of its
prison buildings. In those towers,
on ceaseless vigil, are steel-eyed
guards with high-poWered rifles.
No boat, no swimmer, no airplane
may approach within 300 yards of
the island. Signs in the day and
lights at night warn visitors not to
come near.
Two Types Included
The department of justice took
over the prison to house two types
of fellows-those it considers in
corrigible-whose sole thought is of
escape-and those who attempt to
maintain contact with friends out
side.
Capone, already the No. l prison.
er of old Alcatraz, falls into the lat
ter class. He was transferred here
