CHARGES OF COUP
IN PARIS PERSIST
Ousted Prefect Accuses
Former Minister With
Seeking Dictatorship. I
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. March 8.-Jean Chiappe,
former prefect of Paris police. clung
today despite denials from the man
accuSed) to his sensational. story that
former Minister of the Interior Eugene
Frot planned through the recent Paris
riots to set himself up as sort OF
minor dictator in France.
The charge was hurled before a
parliamentary investigating commit
tee yesterday. 1t brought a scornful
denial from Frot. Chiappe retorted
that he stood absolutely by all he had
said.
The committee has decided to con-
front Chiappe with both Frot and
former Premier Edouard Daladier,
under whom Frot served.
Warned of Support.
The popular Chiappe. whose dis
missal by Daladier added to the gov
ernment's public disfavor. told the
committee he warned the former
premier that Frot had recruited fol-
lowers to back him in putting his
PldllS llllO ShtCullOll.
Frot was in charge of maintaining
the public order and Chiappe asserted
the former cabinet leader sought to
use the fatal riots early last month
for kind Of personal coup d'etat.
The charges were aired in an in
vestigation of the riots which is really
q part of the general effort to get at
the bottom of the S40O00,0 600 Bay
onne pawnshop swindle and allega-
tions that high government officials
were involved through failure to bring
to justice the late Serge Stavlsky,
founder of the institution.
Another parliamentary committee Is
going directly into the charges that
higher ups" were involved in
StaviSky'S promotions.
Mysterious Symbols Studied.
1t developed yesterday that police,
higher ups in the swindle, studied
the mysterious symbols Stavisky used
to designate check stubs in his secret
pay roll.
Also it was reported that police
sought the double or Judge Albert
Prince, key man in the Stavisky in
veStigatiOn who was slain between
here and Dijon recently, in the belief
that a man strongly resembling the
murdered magistrate had arrived in
DiJon instead OF Prince.
The judge shortly before he was to
testify in the scandal probe received
a fake telegram saying his mother
was seriously i'll in Dijon. 1t was at
first believed that he went there, and
that he was poisoned and stabbed on
train returning to Paris. The body,
bound and mutilated, was found near
the tracks.
Under this new theory. Princes
death would have occurred in train
en- route to Dijon. Police attached
significance to it in the belief that it
would lead to clues regarding the
slayers.

three residents with pellets, fortunately
without doing any particular harm, in
consequence of his unfamiliarity with
that kind of a weapon. The State
game warden has estimated that it will
take these four men twenty-nine years
to rid the State of Maryland of the
birds. He figures that there are 30,-
900 starlings in Baltimore and at least
100000 in the State, and at the rate
of four and two-tenths startling victims
for every shell fred, only about 800
will be brought down III q single night.
Society is divided between those who
feel that the starlings are entitled to
live their own noisy and spattering
lives and those who urge that some
thing ought to be done about it. Ap-
peal might be made to the P. w. A. for
funds for starting hostelry or series
of rooStS for them in the Mall, for
example, but even then it is uncertain
whether the birds would desert their
cherished building fronts for such
quarters. The truth Of the matter
seems to be that the starlings are
probably too confirmed in their love of
the bright lights of business streets
ever to desert them for rustic environ
ment.

The Starting Problem.

The starlings have returned. Every
evening just before sunset they Swoop
through the skies in their mass forma-
tions, circling, doubling, swirling over
the city before they roost for the
night. And they roost everywhere
downtown-on window sillS, under cor
nices, on lodges, in alcoves-many thou
sands of them. They chirp and hustle
about to find choice resting places,
quarrel for precedence and have an
altogether human-like activity before
settling down to rest.
They are an unmitigated nuisance,
these sleek, glossy visitors with their
untidy habits and their custom Of con-
centration. If they would spread them
selves out over wider area they would
be more easily borne, but of all the
birds they are the most gregarious, and
therein lies the chief indictment
against them.
What is to be done with these little
pests? That question has troubled the
municipal authorities for years. They
have defied the Fire Department, the
Police Department and the highest up
of the municipal officials. They have
eluded traps. They seem to be proof
against gunfire- which is not to be
recommended for urban use-they
have scoffed at jingling bells and tin
king strips of glass. Noise does not
disturb them. They are expert noise
makers themselves.
Baltimore is suffering from the star
ling nuisance and is taking up arms
against it. A squad Of four policemen
has been assigned to the duty of ridding
the city of these unwelcome visitors by
means of shotguns and one Of the
sfncial marksmen has Just peppered

Capital Sidelights
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.


"Fervid criticism Of a mythical
brain trust Of young college men
which is supposed to be operating in
Washington today" irks Donald r.
Richberg, executive director of the
National Emergency Council. He
pauses in his busy day to wonder If
such critics know any more about
the writer's of the Constitution than
they know about the lawmakers Of
the present day" Then out of his
own careful research he tells us that
the facts are that the average age
in the present Executive Council,
which includes President Roosevelt,
his cabinet and the heads of emer-
gency agencies, must be over so years
and that the leaders in the Senate
and House are no younger.
I'm contrast with this rather ma
ture group" suggests DR.. Richberg,
"the average age in the constitutional
convention of 1887 was AZ years.
James Madison, the so-called father
of the Constitution, was 36, and it
may again be recalled that Thomas
Jefferson wrote the Declaration of In
dependence at the ripe age of 33. Let
us hope that it will not undermine
faith in the practical wisdom of the
trainers of the Constitution" he says,
'lif it be also mentioned that out of
SIS members thirty had received a COL
lege education and that 26 could be
properly classified with college pro-
fessors."

VAST BANK CREDIT In RESERVE
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

| the rate Is. The posted rate may be
only 8 per cent, but if, when the Gus
toner appears seeking a loan, the
banker exercises his undoubted right
to declare that he does not wish to
lend at present. that low rate becomes
meaningless.
The same situation obtains In Eng
land as to commercial loans. Rates
are very low, yet the banks are not
putting out much money. They, like
American banks are preferring to buy
Government bonds. In a little more
than year, the London banks in
creased their holdings of government
securities from $50, 100000 pounds to
900, ,000, 900 pounds. An interesting op-
Grafton is traced in connection with
this curious era of finance. At Pc
RODS when taxes are due the banks
do lend some money to responsible bor-
rowers who can give heavy security.
The borrowed money is paid in taxes
to the government. This puts the
government in funds to repay some
Of the money it has borrowed from
the banks, with accrued interest. The
money has gone around the circle:
Bank has lent to treasury, then bank
has lent TO individual, individual has
paid tax to treasury, treasury has re-
paid bank loan with interest. It is to
be marked that it is the individual
who still owes the bank and will, anon,
be repeating the whole operation.
Pretty much the same state of af-
fairs is to be found in the important
nations-the governments enjoying the
benefits Of bank credit while the peo-
pie, who have created that bank credit,
are not accommodated 1t must be
remembered that these huge reserves
of credit in the hands of the banks
spring from deposits made by the
people. The banks would have no
money to lend to the Government If
they did not receive the deposits Of
the general public, the business man
and wage Garner.
There are many croSS-currents IN
the situation, both here and abroad.
The President has consistently urged
the people to end boarding of cur
rency. He has made it unlawful for
people to have gold in their possession.
He has urged the people to put their
money in the banks and, in a meas
ure, has directly assisted in the build
ing up of these huge excess bank re-
serves.
But the whole policy of the Presi-
dent has been to distribute wealth,
and his present effort to induce the
banks to liberalize credit is in line
with that policy. Yet another current
breaks against the banks. They we're
terrihcaLy scolded only a short time
ago for being speculative, for lending
too much, wasting the funds Of their
depositors and failing right and left.
1t would seem TO the layman that
there is no happy medium in the
banking business. If the banks lend
heavily and prices fall, as was the
case in 1929, they are attacked as
being avaricious and unfaithfuI stew
ards Of the peoples deposits. If, re-
sponsive to this berating, they husband
their funds and pile up reserves
against deposits even in excess Of what
the law requires, then the President
leads the country in denunciation Of
their refusal to renew lending.

by sufferance Of the Conservatives,
who had swept into overwhelming
power in the House Of Commons. Mr..
MacDonald's position forthwith was
unreal and unstable. His handful Of
traditional friends, the remnant Of
the Labor party in Parliament, was
now in violent hostility to him, looking
upon him as a traitor to the old
cause. His traditional foes only
accepted and tolerated his nominal
leadership because it suited their con-
venience and served their purposes.
His situation became more ind more
humiliating as time went on. With
the detection of Lord Snowden and
the Samuel group of Liberals, Mr..
Macdonald was reduced to the mere
fgurehead of what in reality was a
Conservative government. He con-
tinues to hold the most exalted polit-
ical office In all Britain. without a
following in Parliament and devoid
of backing in the country. How a
man of his spirit can bring himself
to stay at No. 10 Downing street
under circumstances so incongruous is
wellnigh inexplicable.
There Is no immediate indication
that Mr.. MacDonalds days as prime
minister are numbered. Mr.. Baldwin
can displace him practically at will.
AS a symbol of national unity, the
sage of Lossiemouth apparently still
has his uses. He has just reappeared
upon the scene in London after a vir-
tuaIy unnoticed absence of four
months in Nova Scotia and Canada,
to find his role as negligible as before.
Whenever the Conservatives deem the
hour propitious Ramsay Macdonald
will walk the plank and Stanley Bald
win will supersede him as head of
his majesty's government.
Probably the change will be defer
red until the program for granting
India dominion self-government is
carried through. Mr.. Macdonald is
so intimately identified with that
project that it might be wrecked by
his premature departure. But his
days as factor in the governance Of
Britain have irretrievably faded. For
all that, they were spacious days and
will enshrine his name in honor.
Economic recovery came while he was
still in office, and in history he will
not be denied credit for having helped
to achieve it.
