.UST. BANK LACK
HARDSHIP FOR
MERCHANTS
Central Business Mems Group
Set to Open One If U. S.
Delay Continues

If the Treasury Department
persists in procrastinating with
plans for a bank at Fourteenth
and U Streets Northwest, mer-
chants in the neighborhood will
open their own bank, Arthur Clar-
endon Smith, prominent local
merchant declared today.
Partial paralysis Of business, un-
precedented hardships on the mer-
chants and inconvenience to resi-
dents in the section have followed
in the wake of the collapse Of the
United States Savings Bank which
closed its doors last year, Mr..
Smith said.
Business Group Acts
Crystalizing the efforts of the
past year and half, the Central
Business Mems Association, at a
meeting last night, unanimously
endorsed a resolution to have a
committee appointed to appeal to
]. F. T. O'Connor, Comptroller of
the Currency.
The nearest banking institution
is at Fourteenth Street and Park
Road, Mr.. Smith said. To change
currency. make deposits and cash
Government checks, the mer-
chants in the neighborhood Of
Fourteenth and U Streets are sub
jected to much inconvenience and
loss of time, Mr.. Smith, who is
past president of the association,
charged.
A careful survey of business
conditions in the area reveals a Is
per cent loss in business since the
neighborhood was deprived of a
bank, Mr.. Smith said. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that many
persons were accustomed to stop
ping at Fourteenth and U Streets
to cash checks and consequently
spent part of their money in the
neighborhood.
Much Money Leaves City
Much of this business is now
going to all sections of the coun-
try, Mr.. Smith said, because many
persons are sending their checks
home without first cashing them
here and spending part of their
earnings.
Five large banks here have ex-
pressed the desire to open branches
at Fourteenth and U Streets, but
nothing has been done about it,
Mr.. Smith said.

D. c. HEADS BACK
. F ST. PROJECT

Continued from Page -
the city of washington is so well
known.
The newly appointed Commits.
Sioner, Col. Dan I. Sultan, said:
81 am heartily in favor of
having F Street between Seventh
and Ninth Streets widened. 1t
seems to me that everybody is in
favor of the idea. I pledge my
support to the people of Wash
ington in their fight for i'm
prOVements in the F Street Sec
tiOn."
Although District officials stand
ready with their plans to widen
the street, they have been asked
by the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to await de-
velopments in the Fedral Govern
ment'S plans to remodel the south
entrance to the old Patent Office
Building.
Would Remove Steps
Removal of the steps leading to
the F Street entrance to the build
ing would be the ideal solution to
relieve the congestion in the area
the District Commissioners stated
today. While the Districts plan
would afford some relief to motor
lists. it would be far from the Dest
plan, the District Commissioners
believe.
Stating that he has agitated
for the desired Improvement for
years, Commissioner Hazen added
"The narrow thOrOughfare
between Seventh and Ninth
Streets is a menace and ought
to be done away with. 1t is
not only an eyesOre, but it is
dangerous to traffic, and l
trust that The Washington
Times will be able to bring about
a much-needed improvement"
Allen Backs Plan
Commissioner Allen declared he
has driven through the congested
area at Seventh and F Streets al
ways with fear that he would be
injured because of the bottle
neck" condition of the street. He
added:
"The Washington Times has
started wonderful movement.
Elimination Of the traffic con-
gestiOn at Seventh and F
Streets by removal of the steps
on the F Street entrance to the
old Patent Office Building would
be one of the best civic improve.
ments ever made in this city.
"The Washington Times de-
serves much credit for crystal
lizing by its vigorous editorial
policy the desires of thousands
of residents. I am back of them
100 per cent and wish them
success"

HOOVER BLOW
At NEW DEAL
Declares Prosperity Has Been
Brought in Sight, DepIoring
Plea for "OId Order"
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

An attack on former President
Herbert Hoover for championing
the "old order of things" hearty
applause for the New Deal which
has brought "the goal of pros
perity in sight," and an express
sion Of the belief that President
Roosevelt is more popular now
than on his inaugural day, fea-
tured a speech today by Repre-
sentative Joseph w. Burns CD
of Tennessee, probable Speaker
in the next Congress.
Cites Previous Distress
Mr.. Byrnes, addressing the
closing session of the national
convention of the Young Demo-
Gratis of America, in the Shore
ham Hotel, roundly attacked
former President Hoover for his
recent articles in criticism of the
New Deal, declaring:
"Mr. Hoover is seemingly un.
aware of the distress that pre-
vailed during his own admins.
tratiOn-a distress greater by
far than in any previous admin
iStratiOn.
ut would be amusing if it
weren't SO tragic that that same
man should have undertaken to
criticize the efforts of the pres
ent administration to relieve
the distress caused by his own
indifference and lack of cour-
age"
DENIES LIBERTY LOST
Commenting on Mr.. Hoover's
criticism that the New Deal is
taking away liberty" the major
ity leader scored the Republican
administration for granting this
socalled liberty to a favored few"
Citing the Democratic victory
in formerly rock-ribbed Republi.
can Maine as an example of the
success of the New Deal, Mr..
Byrns expressed confidence that
the rest of the country would send
a greater Democratic majority to
the Senate and as great a major
lty as at present in the House.

"THE STEIN SONG"


The other day the State of
Maine voted "wet" for the first
time in so years. Il guess that's
what you'd call "a staggering
defeat" for the "drys."
Before the election they in
sisted that the Pine Tree State
would never tolerate "the re-
turn Of the old saloon" Il
guess they forgot to say any
thing about the return of some
new ones.
If the expression that, "As
Maine goes, so goes the nation"
means anything. the Repub'
Ncans will have about as much
chance as q blOOmer salesman
in q nudiSt colony.

Nowadays, it looks like any

sought to elude an ambush of deputy
sheriffs Saturday night. was believed
by authorities today to have been the
innocent victim of an extortion plot.
The youth, Edwin Bateman, was
slain when he picked up a shoebox
containing money and paper clippings
and ran, but Sheriff Ira R. Cowdrick
expressed a belief he was being used
as a tool by other persons.
The shoebox. supposed to contain
$500, but actually containing only
$40, was placed on a platform in
accordance with demands made in
letters to Roy Wheeler, coal merchant.
The money was demanded to insure
the safety of Wheeler's 12-year-
son.
Eight deputy sheriffs, armed with
shotguns, hid about the plant and
awaited developments. Finally, they
said, they saw Bateman creep up on
the platform, seize the box, and then
run toward his home.
When he ignored their demands to
halt, the deputies said, four of them
fired. aiming over his head. They
youth collapsed in a yard two doors
from his home and died.
Bateman. who lived with his par
ents and four brothers and sisters,
never had been in trouble with the
police, and authorities said. they still
were without a clue as to identity of
the extortionists.
The deputies said there was a blue
handkerchief draped over the lower
part of the youths face and stock
ing cap pulled over his brows when
they found his body in the yard. He
was unarmed.
