British Duke Turns 'Snooty,
Hangs Up on Reporter

A bright soul called the duke,
informed him that he was MIR.
Snigglesworth-Mo of the Lon.
don Times washington office, "
and was very politely received.
The name, to which only a Brit
Usher would plead guilty, and the
very excellent British accent
turned the trick.
The duke belongs to the very
ole British nobility-the type
that can turn up it's nose at
royalty, not to mention hang up
on news gatherers. He was, until
his recent marriage, the most
eligible young man in England,
with lands, money, titles and a
small black mustache. At the
time of his marriage he had only
26 peers in Great Britain, and
only one other was single.
Naturally, then, his marriage
to the not very well-known but
decidedly attractive Mile. Malk-
hazouny upset British society. 1t
was something, society contended,
no British duke should be al
lowed to do.
The lady in question was the
daughter of the late Iskender de
Malkhazouny, Serbian consul in
Paris, and was noted in her own
circle as an amateur dancer of
some ability.

Increased cost of operating po-

make necessary several economy
moves, Major Ernest w. Brown,

Last year, through special ar

the police were able to buy gaso-
line at from six to nine cents a
gallon for their cars, which con-
sumed an average of 21,5OO gal
Ions monthly. This year the fuel
is costing IL cents a gallon.
Thirty new automobiles are
needed for requirements, Major
Brown said, but because of linn
tied funds, only Is will be bought.

While voters throughout the
country are going to the polls in
the hotly-contested primaries, Dem
ocratic women are organizing
themselves into iron-clad groups
in almost every State to insure
New Deal" Congress for the next
two years.
Today, approximately 1000
women in AZ States have been
appointed by feminine political
leaders to spread the gospel of
the New Deal" with the idea of
sending women to the polls to
support only those candidates for
office who support the Presidents
program for recovery.

ASSESSMENT
By EUGENE A. KELLY

by EUGENE A. KELLY
Irreparable damage will result
from payment of assessments
levied by the Comptroller of the
Currency against stockholders in
many of the closed Washington
banks, John w. Staggers, local
attorney, declared today.
Charging that the assessments
were unnecessary and that they
were the direct result of "tyran-
nical manipulations" by the
Treasury Department, Mr.. Stag
gers said they could have been
eliminated had the Comptroller OF
the Currency taken advantage OF
the Steagall amendment, which
allows the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation to buy outright the
assets of closed banks.
Values Marked Down
The banks against which the
Comptroller is attempting to as
sess a double liability became in
solvent : Sc Treasury book ex-
aminers re ordered to mark
down the value of real estate held
by these banks to the market
value and not to its book value,
Mr.. Staggers said.
Prior to the Presidents bank
ing holiday, all banks valued their
real estate holdings on their book
value and not on their market
value, Mr.. Staggers said.
Cut Caused Collapse
1t was this artificial. overnight
depreciation in the value of the
banks assets which resulted in
their collapse and the eventual
assessment of the stockholders,
Mr.. Staggers stated. Mr.. Stag
gers, formerly counsel for the
United States Savings Bank, said:
"The Steagall amendment
was an attempt to correct a
dangerous situation, but, like all
other emergency legislation
such as the banking act of 1888.
the Comptroller of the Cur
rency has been permitted to
place his own Interpretation on
what Congress intended should
be done under the act.
"If the Steagall bill we're
fairly and honestly put into
effect there would be no Occa-
sion for Ievying an assessment
against the stockholders of any
of the Washington banks, with
possibly one or two exceptions,
and there would be sufficient
assets to borrow enough money
to pay out the depositOrS in
full"
