terior appearance of the cars, and it is there that the Teague influ' ence in most in evidence. The soft, dee-cushioned seats are set low, and the upholstery is of a pleasing combination of light and dark blue, with brilliant stainless steel frames. The seats are both wider and provide more leg-room than previous cars. The floors are of cork board, covered with color full linoleum. The baggage racks are of aluminium. The walls are finished in French gray, with two narrow vermililon stripes near the ceiling. Window sills are of q
 highly polished black finish which will not burn or blister. The win dows themselves, set in aluminium frames, will be fitted with two plates of glass with an air pocket between which is dehydrated, in order to prevent steaming or frost ing of the panes.
 Illumination of the cars is of an
 entirely new type, consisting of lights directly over each seat, with direct rays yet an indirect effect , produced through the use of a
 grille, with small square openings, instead of glass for directing the | illumination. Thus, while the cars
 will be brilliantly lighted, the | effect will be soft and subdued,
 and will be ideal for reading pur- poses.
 While the outside appearance of | the cars is noticeably different be-
 cause of the tubular appearance, and because their roof-tops are
 nine inches lower than those of previous cars, the, new coaches
 nevertheless have been so designed
 as to permit harmonious combina-
 tion in a train with cars of the
 older type. The outside color is
 hunters green, which was recently
 adopted by the New Haven for it's passenger equipment, with aluminium lettering, and the win
 dows are framed in pairs with an i aluminium border, giving the cars
 a very distinctive appearance.

FRANCE WILL PUSH
EAST EUROPE PACT
Seeks Indirect Alliance With
Germany Through Eastern
Locarno Treaty.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, December 5.-France will
try to get Germany into proposed
Eastern Locarno pact, despite the lat
ter's opposition, it was disclosed today
as the League Of Nations Council
opened an extraordinary session.
The matter was discussed at lunch
con by Pierre Laval. French foreign
minister, and Maxim Litvinoff, Rus
Sis's commiSsar for foreign affairs.
France feels that Poland, which also
has been cold toward the project, will
enter it if Germany does. Laval, it is
said, is striving to avoid direct alli-
ance with Germany and is concen.
trating negotiations on broad mutual
assistance agreement which would
function within the framework Of the
League of Nations.
The proposed Locarno treaty is de-
signed to guarantee peace in Eastern
Europe, as the present Locarno pact
does in the Western section of the
continent.
A major matter before the Council
is Yugoslavia's charge that Hungary
is involved in the assassination Of
King Alexander at Marseille, alleging
she harbored Balkan terrorists.
Hungary, it was indicated. will de-
mand an inquiry into the Yugoslav
charges and deliver counter attacks.
Czechoslovakia and Rumania have
lined up behind the Belgrade accusa-
tions, as members of the little entente.
while Italy has indicated she would
support Hungary firmly.

bank LOSES SUIT
/. ON W0MAN'S NOTE
Court Rules Wife Is Not
Bound by Pledge on
Existing Debt.

In the absence of some special con-
sideration. prominssory note given by
a wife to secure an already existing
debt Of her husbands cannot be en-
forced against her, the Court of Ap-
peals ruled today in a suit brought by
Robert c. Baldwin. receiver for the
Commercial National Bank. against
Mrs. Roemer c. Kiess.
The opinion. written by Chief JUS
tice Martin, pointed out the appellate
court was not passing upon the merits
of the case but merely on the plead
ings.
The receiver had filed suit for So
1869, representing the unpaid bal
ance Of a note for $l235220 given by
the husband, Edgar r. Kiess, to pay
for the purchase Of certain securities
Subsequently, at the request Of the
bank. Mrs. Kiess gave her note as
additional security.
Residence Is Factor.
After suit had been brought, she
filed TWO pleas. The first set up the
fact that she was q resident OF Penn
sylvania and that such a contract
could not be enforced there against
married women. The second plea
contended the note was executed for
q past consideration and that she was
therefore not liable to the bank The
receiver demurred to both pleas and
these demurrers were sustained in the
lower court.
On the advice Of her attorneys,
William j. Neale and Leonard Town
send, Mrs. Kiess elected to stand on
her pleas and took the case to the
Court Of Appeals.
That tribunal decided the first plea
was bad because the contract was
completed in the District and the law
here, differing from that Of Pennsyl-
vania. makes a married woman liable
on contract Of this type.
Second Plea Stands.
The second plea. however. was held
good, the court pointing out that a
wife's note. given to secure q pre-
existing debt of her husband, is not
valid unless there is some new con-
sideration to support her note. In
this case it was held the receiver by
filing a demurrer had conceded, for
the purposes Of the pleading, that
there was no new consideration.
The case was sent back to the lower
court for a trial on its merits.

BANKS AID T0U.S.
SEEN IN BOND BIDS
5 Billion Response to 900
Million Asked Heart
ems Leaders.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A $5,400000,000 response TO the
Governments request for 5000, ,000, 900
of ready cash was a tangible express
sion yesterday Of the recently pledged
cooperation of American banks with
the administration.
This huge oversubscription was OBJ
tanned despite what Undersecretary
unusual efforts to prevent "bid-pad-
ding" by institutions desiring . big
percentage of the Government Offer
ing. In this practice bidders ask for
more than they want in hope Of get
ting at least q sizable share.
Relief Sum in Doubt.
Coming at a time of conflicting
Capital rumors as to just how many
relief billions the new presidential
budget will contain, the eagerness of
banks to invest funds with the Gov
ernment was considered by officials
to be especially encouraging.
Informed circles believed it definite
ly assured Treasury financing by
orthodox borrowing methods Of what
ever relief demands there may be.
The use of such extreme powers as the
direct sale of Government securities
to Federal Reserve banks apparently
was not even receiving consideration In
official Treasury quarters.
Figure Is Unchanged.
Also, it was learned in highest re-
serve bank sources. that the system
has no immediate intention Of adding
to its heavy portfolio of Government
obligations. The IL reserve banks now
hold S2,430, 900 900 of Government Is
sues, figure which has remained un-
changed for months.
More than a year ago, the reserve
banks made large purchases in the
open market to bolster Government
security prices. This policy was halted
when present holdings had accumu-
lated and not since then have the
banks gone into the open market.
While exact figures on the over
subscription were not available, Cool
idge said the $3.50 900, 900 issue of 1913
year 3ls per cent bonds had been
more than five times oversubecribed,
and the s4s0. 900, 900 Of l8-month rs
per cent notes more than seven times.
Evening star., 1934-12-05

This sub-rosa budgetary Situation
may be the reason for the surprise
in that recently y-announced Treasury
| financing.
The best-informed bankers were ex-
| pecting that the Government would
ask for $500 100000 Instead. Mr.. Nor
genthau asked for 5000, 100000. And
you may have noticed that he was
| in Warm Springs when the Treasury
| Department made its announcement.
Telephones still operate between here
| and Warm Springs.
The private official explanation
for the size OF the sum Uas this:
The Treasury has been running
quite heavy monthly deficit.
There are certain large interest
payments to be made shortly.
The unannounced policy Of Mr..
Morgenthau has been to keep a cash
, at all times. At the time of the
financing announcement his working
| balance was down to s750,000,000.
So Mr.. Morgenthau figured he
might as well seek 5000 900 900 while
money market conditions were good.
Timing Important Aspect.
That is all true. but there was more
| in it than that. Obviously Mr.. Nor
genthau was anticipating Winter re-
| lief demands. There are good reasons
| for believing that he expects the pres
! ent financing to pull him through I'M
til April. No public promise can be
| made of that, but the expectation is
reasonable in the light of existing
| facts.
The clever part Of it was the auspi-
cious time which Mr.. Morgenthau Sc
lected. 1t was just three weeks before
the budget will come out.
The results may be announced be-
fore you read this, or shortly there
after. Advance indications were that
they will be favorable. Word from in
side the Treasury is to the effect that
the issue Is going very well.
Bankers Formerly Jittery.
The money market was in a much
more receptive condition this time
| than last September. Uncertainty
| filled the air then. Certain bankers
were more jittery than the country
knew. Now the financing is being
done In an atmosphere similar to that
Of the June financing. For that rea-
son Mr.. Morgenthau did not offer as
high an interest rate.
The result pilI be significant
test OF the long-ternl bond market,
Which ,ods not so good last Sep.
tember.
The public generally may not un-
derstand Government financing moves.
but every banker knows they are the
only sincere hints as to how things
are going. They always tell the truth,
which can be safely hidden between
moves.
A personnel officer in one of the
New Deal units was warned before he
took his job that a certain Senator
was to be treated deferentially. When
the Senator telephoned and recon-
mended man for Job, the personnel
officer dutifully took the fellow on.
