The act is the result of the determined drive made by
Representative Clarence J. Mcleod Of Michigan to provide
complete payo of the depositors in the closed banks
Congress did go far Representative Mcleod and
his supporters desired.
BUT THE BILL WHICH PASSED DEMONSTRATED
CLEARLY THAT THE CONGRESS WANTED AGGRESSIVE
STEPS TAKEN TO REMOVE THE DANGERS TO RE-
CovERY THAT ARE INHERENT IN HAVING THOU

The Washington times., 1934-06-18

In the last session Of Con-
greSS, Senator James F. ByrneS,
of South Carolina, Administra-
ton satellite, was unusually
busy.
He continued to be one Of the
most active youngsters in the
Senate, attending the majority
of conferences between the
President and party leaders. He
was instrumental in the passage
of Administration legislation.
Action on appropriation bills
usually reflected Byrne's work.
He was in charge of several
supply bills, a duty that ordl'
narily would have gone to SEN
ator Carter Glass, Of Virginia,
chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, had Glass not been
busy with other matters. Byrnes'
views were Administration views.
Byrnes' activity gives rise to
speculation as to what the
future holds for him.
IL has been suggested that
when . vacancy occurs on the
Supreme Court bench, Senator
Joseph T. Robinson, Majority
Leader in the Senate, may be
appointed to fill the gap. In
that event q new leader will be
selected in the Senate for the
Democrats.
Byrnes has been suggested
for the job.
To become leader, however.
he would have to do more
than continue finding favor in
the eyes Of the Administration
other members who have
curried favor have been in the
Senate longer than Byrnes.
Senator Pat Harrison of Missis-
sippi, Administration wheel
horse, has been active also, this
session, and secured action on
revenue, tariff and other major
bills.
Harrison has many friends
and whether Byrnes could
supersede Harrison for the
post of leader is debatable.
A new blow for bank de-
positors is reported in the
offing.
Forbidden to continue deal
ing in bonds, banks throughout
the country are said to be plan
ming to inaugurate a new sys-
tenn of charges on checks and
deposits before long. The plan,
it is reported, has not been
announced, because of a fear
of congressional opposition.
According to reports banks
will make their regular service
charges. In addition, it is said.
that they will charge a rate OF
a certain number of cents on
each check that is drawn, the
rate depending on the type OF
check. This charge will be in
addition to the Federal tax of
two cents.
Deposits also will be taxed
by the banks. they say. Savings
deposits and checking deposits
will be assessed according to
size, it is said.
BY this method, it is reported,
bankers hope to make up for

The Human Side of the News
Bv EdWin C.. Hill

Pride goeth before destruc-
ton, and a naughty spirit be-
fore fall. A king went forth to
the war, and with him six sons.
The king, an old disillusioned
man, stricken in his age, lives
out his years in exile. This is
the story of his six sons, the five
living and the one who died by
his own hand-the story of the
Hohenzollern princes. Friedrich,
Wilhelm, Eitel, Adalbert, August
and Oskar.
They are all back in Germany
and active, save the sailor, Adal-
bert, third and best looking Of
the Kaiser's sons. The Crown
Prince, Friedrich Wilhelm, is no
longer the swashbuckling blade
of twenty years ago. He still
likes his big, red, racing car,
the theater and sports, but
managing his own and his
fathers estates is a job which
leaves few idle hours to this

bles, attending some celebration
in honor of Hitler, to whom at
least he gives lip service, and it
is said that he retains his bitter
ness toward France and his ad"
miration for England.
Our former ambassador to
Germany, James w. Gerard, has
estimated the former crown
prince as a man Of real ability.
Eitel Friedrich, the second son,
is no longer the striking figure
nor the popular prince Of the
German people. His once sturdy
frame is buried in layers Of fat.
He emerged from the war a
bully and q carouser. An un'
savory divorce case cost him his
post as grand master Of the
Knights of st. John, who don
their purple coats, white breeches
and ostrich feathers to swear
eternal allegiance to the King Of
Prussia. .
In place of Eitel Fritz, the
knights chose the KaiSer'S fifth
son, Oskar, of the Van Dyke
beard, A years old and mill
tant nationalist. He was a ro-
mantle hero in his youth, when
he took q morganatic bride. one
of the ladies in waiting to his
mother. the Kaiserin.
August wilhelm. the other
surviving son, chants the Ger
many Awaken" battle cry Of
Herr Hitler, whom the prince
halls as Gods gift to the Ger
man people. And August Suf-
fered in the Hitler cause. He
got a tidy clubbing about q
year ago from police in Koen-
igsberg when he refused to
get off a street corner with
the rest Of the Hitlerites. Po-

lern prince! There's a whole

A Dallas attorney, jefferson
T. Baker, went into court and
asked to have his name changed
to George B. Terrell. The
court granted the request and
the. former Mr.. Baker filed his
name as a candidate for State
treasurer.
Representative Terrell is a
descendant of a long line of
Terrells, many of whom have
been active in politics and
other national affairs, including
one George w. Terrell who was
minister to England, France
and Spain in the days of the
Republic of Texas.
George w. Terrell, the ennis
sary, brought back a cream
colored, flowered, silk suit with
knee pants. Representative
Terrell wears no such costume
as that but he objects to per-
sons who take the political
cloak of another mans name.
Said he:
II would like to see if there
Is some way for the wise men
of the East, including the
White Chief on the throne, to
establish a code under the
N. r. A. which would super.
Sede all State laws and pro-
tect the people against crooks
in, politics aS\ well as in bust
ness so that we can stop these
lawyers from practicing such
legal legerdemain to purloin a
mans name for the sake of
politics. II we are to have
more TerrelIs in politics, they
should be created according to
the divine plan and not made
by court decree"
Assistant Secretary of Com
merce John Dickinson is said
to be gloating over the ap-
pointment of DR.. Willard 1.
Thorpe to the Consumers Ad-
Visory Board.
Dickinson was much diSap-
pointed, it is said, when the
Senate Commerce Committee
refused to confirm the nomi-
nation of Thorpe as director
of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. He and
Thorpe made caustic comments
about the Senate action.
A search was made for a
job for Thorpe and the Con-
sumers Advisory Board was Sc
lected as a place for the emf
nent doctor to labor.
The salary, it is reported,
is $25 per day.
Senators didn't like the ap-
pointment but they had moth
ing to do with it as it didn't
require Senate confirmation.
AS one official said:
"In the old days when the
Senate turned. down a man
he was out!
"Now, they just put him in
a good job, somewhere else!"
