FINAL ADOPTION
IS FORECAST
BY AUTHOR
Restoration of Prosperity BY
"ThaWing" Deposits of
Closed Banks Seen

Scheduled for final considera-
ton by the House Banking sub
committee, the Mcleod bank re-
lief bill was laid aside late today
to await special meeting Of the
RFC subcommittee tomorrow.
Postponement was necessary be-
cause Of a meeting Of the full
House Banking and Currency
Committee which required the
presence of all those in charge Of
the Mcleod bill.
Strong Hope for Measure
Opinion has been about equally
divided at the Capitol as to the
measures future. The imposing
array of Senators and Congress
men who appeared before the sub
committee to urge its enactment
gives hope to many that the bill
will be reported out in its pres
ent form, providing for 100 per
cent pay-off Of closed bank &C
counts with RFC funds.
Others who listened carefully
10 subcommittee members during
the hearings believe the measure
will be reported out, but modi-
fled slightly to prevent any pos
Sible raid upon the Treasury.
AS the bill is written it pro-
VideS for the RIGS purchasing
all assets of closed national banks
and some State banks, reimburs-
ing depoSitors 100 per cent, and
then selling the purchased secu-
rites over a 10-year period.
Mcleod Is Confident
Meantime the faith Of the bills
author, Representative Clarence j.
Mcleod (R.) of Michigan, has not
wavered and when the subcommit-
teS prepared to meet behind closed
doors today he remained confident
it would report out his bill with
0ither none or very few changes.
Passage of the measure would
60 far toward restoring national
prosperity. Mr.. Mcleod says, eX-
planning:
''Markets will boom. Mort
cages and municipal bonds will
become valuable while many per-
sons today on relief rolls will
again become self-suppOrting
with funds held in vaults Of
closed hanks.
'T hope the committee reports
the bill out without any changes.
To accomplish what it intends,
It is necessary for the measure
to provide for 100 per cent pay
off. There is just as much re.
SpOnSibility toward the man
with $4,000 as the man with
$40 in q closed bank, or vice
versa"
Senator Gerald P. Nye (R)
OF North Dakota, meantime, is
another legislator going on record
as favoring bank relief legislation,
saying:
81 think there is considerable
sentiment for such q measure,
and, generally speaking, I think
much good would be accom-
plished from legislation of this
kind"

Turkey Ready to Act
The shock of his arrest and the
news he must return to the United
States to face trial on indictments
returned against himtIafter his
utilities enterprises went into re-

health, however, to the extent that
removal to hospital will be neces-
Sary.
Unless he is taken to a hospital,
however, there apparently is
nothing insult can do now but
await the officer who will take
him back to the United States.
United States Ambassador Rob-
ret P. Skinner has requested in
Structions from Washington as to
how to proceed.
Turkish authorities are ready to
turn over insult to an American
officer when the proper warrants
are presented. How soon these
formalities will be completed and

back to face Chicago jury is not
known.

Si1-Hour Day Seen
For u. S. Industry
By Ford Official
"WOrk Is Plentiful and
Production A m pIe,"
Says ". J. Cameron.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, December 3.-William
j. Cameron, Ford Motor Co. official
and close associate of Henry Ford,
said last night that because work is
plentiful and production is ample"
the 6-hour day will come into prac-
teal use in American industry.
A continuous decrease in standard
working hours in years past, he ex-
planned, was due mot to growing
scarcity of work to be done, but to
better ways of doing it."
There is nothing new to use in the
idea Of a 6-hour day." Mr.. Cameron
added. Seven years ago Mr.. Ford
was discussing plans to put 1t in
operation. No one was asking for 1t
then, just as no one was asking for
the 5-day week when we established
it in 1926. But we believed then and
believe now that a shorter work day
is coming.
Social improvements of this char
acter are not commanded, but created.
=" Higher wages and shorter hours
cannot be established by money dipped
out of company's treasury. They
come from economies, Improvements
and refinements of manufacturing
methods and these come from the in
cessant labor and creative experience
of management"

fell a victim of infantile paralysis
about three years ago. has been a
deaf mute since birth, and at the
time of the Presidents interruption
he was trying to teach his companion
