Wind Up the Debacle
Pay the Bank Depositors


The banking debacle Of year ago still keeps srangle
hold on Nation struggling toward economic recovery.
Just year after all banks closed temporarily order
to give the country breathing and to prevent total
collapse more than fifteen hundred banks national and
bers of the reserve system, remain closed
Tied up in these institutions estimated at approx
mately two thousand million dollars.
Most this titanic amount represented by sound ecur
ties securities which will eventually pay off at full nearly
full value.
As long as that money is tied up these institutions it
represents lightweight against which the forces Of recovery
pulling in vain
That money cannot be budged by ordinary It
not be into the markets of the country to function in
its normal capacity in the buying selling of goods
THAT MONEY MUST BE RELEASED AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.
IT MUST BE PUT BACK INTO THE POCKETS OF
THOSE WHO ORIGINALLY DEPOSITED 1T IN THE
BANKS WHICH HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REOPEN. BY
THEM IT WILL IN TURN BE PUT TO WORK TO AID IN
THE RECOVERY CAMPAIGN.
Representative Clarence Mcleod Of Michigan, has intro
duced in the House bill which would accomplish that pur
pose
It is very simple It would cost the Government
virtually nothing
Yet it would wipe out the fostering Of the closed
banks would put hundreds Of millions Of dollars into circua
ton and would the misplaced confidence Of the mil
lions of and who deposited money in banks which
were unable to weather the storm.
The machinery which the bill would set in motion be
described briefly
It would have the Reconstruction Finance Corporation pur
chase the receivers consevatrs Of the closed banks
all the remaining assets Of the institutions giving pay
ment funds sufficient to pay in full the deposit liability Of
the banks.
This money paid by the RFC would be in loan
gift,
The assets which the corporation would purchase would be-
come property the corporation The corporation would
be authorized dispose of them within tenyea period
recovery back it should certainly return
within that period The assets could then be disposed Of by
the RFC for least enough make good the funds advanced
to the closed banks
It would simply that the Government would pay off
the depostors IMMEDIATELY take the assets and hold them
until they could be disposed Of which time the Govern
ment would be fully reimbursed for its expenditures.
This is bill to relieve anyone of liability responsibility
for his misdeeds
1T IS A MEASURE WHICH WOULD LIFT THE EVIL
CONSEQUENCES OF THOSE M1SDEEDs OFF THE
BACKS OF INNOCENT VICTIMS.
The innocent depositors the victims Of whatever
was wrong with the banking institutions which have REMAINED
closed.
THE WRONG AGAINST THOSE DEPosIToRs CAN 81
RIGHTED BY THE GOVERNMENT, WITHOUT COST

intention of letting up on the drive to get the governorship nomination for ex-senutor AL bert k. Lavery. It is being pointed out that should Att torney Brown get the nomina- ton Lieutenant-G Governor Will. COX would be renominated for second place on the ticket, thereby leaving ex-Senator Lavery tout in the cold", The latter kept out of the picture two years ago for harmony's sake but his friends now feel that he is entitled to some place on the ticket and he would like the governorship first and the Iieutenant-gov- ernorship second.
 Locally, of course, the re- publicans are having lots of squabbles. First of all, the re- organization group plans a mass meeting for Monday night in Garden hall in an effort to set up tickets which if vic- tOrious will overthrow the pre- sent leadership. And in the 10th district a three-corncrcd battle for the senatorial nom- inatiOn is assured. Former Prosecuting Attorney Emil Humnel is the latest one men, toned for the nomination as far as the regular organization is concerned.
 Judge Freeman Light of the NOrwalk city court is being boOmed for the post of chair man of the g. 0. p. town conn mittce. He is likely to have op. position before the party con. vention late this month ,how- ever, according to reports. Form Chairman Alvin Heerdt resigned several weeks ago.
 Edward +. Bray has been endorsed by the Fairfield dem- Ocratic town committee for the office of senator in the 25th district. It is not known whether Bray will be opposed in other parts of the 25th but the town of Fairfield is absol- utely behind its favorite son. Town Chairman Nicholas J. Phelan is leading the fight to put Bray in the raco. At the present time Senator Rodney Proctor Shepard, republican, of NcWtOwn, represents the district and is expected to De renomipatcd by the g. o. p. convention delegates.
 Since Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone visited United States Senator Augustine IIon- ergan in Washington, D. O., a couple of days ago, much spe- culatiOn as to the nature of their conference has been go. ing the rounds of the state party leaders. Commissioner Tone is now automatically understood to be a candidate for the U. s. senatorial nomin- atiOn .and if nominated and elected he would be a mate of Senator Lonergan's in the next session of Congress. Both men have refused to state what the nature of their meet ing was.
 Joseph Foran, candidate for judge of probate in Mill ford and a prominent member of the Democratic club, is re. ported as making great hcad- way in his fight for the post. Mir Foran is chairman of the membership committee of the Young Democratic club and is now studying at Yale with the intention of becoming a law yer.

 STUDY OF STARS
Blure Image of Stellar Bodies for Worlds
 Astronomers
By ALFRED BERTHINET

United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, (UP)-Scientists find little enpoyment in the twinkle, twinkle little star" rhyme.
 That twinkling is caused partly by the earth's atmosphere and generally is regarded by astron- omers and astrophysicists as blight. It causes blurring of the stellar mage, which contributes immensely to the obliteration of surface details and finer markings on the sun, moon and planets. An astronomer seeking to probe the secrets in space, must first pierce, with his telescope. the en- tire depth of the earth's atmos- phere.
 Lighft Beams Twisted Every irregularity of the air, through which the light from the distant stars must pass, bends and twists the beams of light, and. as recently pointed out by Dr Wal ter s. Adams of Mount Wilson observatory. as such irregularities change. speedily, continual blur ring and quivering of the image results.
 If the earth's atmosphere could be removed, an astronomer could use a microscope attached to his telescope to view the stars, and thelimit of magnification wgould be restricted only by the resolving power of the telescope plus the disturbances in the planets them- selves, according to Dr Adams.
 Limited Knowledge
 This peculiarity of the earth's atmosphere seems to explain why our knowledge of the stars is linn tied mainly to their physical state, and it explains why astronomers seek to locate their observatories in sections of theearth where et- mospheric variations are slightest.
 Inversely, if the earth were viewed from another planet, 1t would appear covered with d steamy haze (our clouds and at. mosphere). These clouds would appear conspicuously because of their high refiecting power. Our seas and other large bodies of water would shine when reflect ing sunlight directly to the ob- server, but would b edark when seen at less favorable angles.
