emergency borrowings Of the gov
eminent over a long period of
years.
Unlike most others of the
Progressive stripe, Durgan does
not believe in high income and
inheritance taxes.
AN inheritance tax is all right
when levied against person who
is not a member of the immediate
family of the deceased, but tax
on the fortune that a man leaves
to his wife or his child is a cow
ardly tax" said Durgan.
DURGAN'S district comprises
~ thirteen counties in north
western Indiana, great corn and
hog producing section of the state.
He is counting on the corn-hog
checks to farmers to help Demo-
cratic popularity in the next cleo
ton.

The only speech he has made
on the floor of the house was a
speech attacking the practice of
allowing cattlemen in the west
the privilege of grazing their
herds free on the public domain.
But George refused to allow that
speech to be printed in the record,
saying that he would rather save
the government the cost of the
printing.
Another economy hobby which
he rides concerns the rural postal
service. One of the first things
Durgan did after he came to
Washington was to call on Post
master General Farley and sug-
gest that it was poor business to
pay full-time wages to rural mail
carriers who work only two or
three hours a day.
He suggested that mail routes

BRANDON WILL
STAY ON JOB

SACRAMENTO, June Is. U.P)-
Agitation to remove r. c. Branion,
federal-state relief administrator
failed to excite Branion today as
he continued working on a pro-
gram of unemployment relief which
he will recommend to state legislat-
ors. :
"Since the federal government is
spending most of the money in
California, it would seem that 1t
should have the voice in who dis
penses it," Branion said in reply to
reports there were complaints about
his administration. The state, he
insisted, could take no action
toward his removal without ap-
proval of Washington.
He further indicated Washington
was satisfied with the job he is do
ing.
Branion was appointed by the
late Governor Rolph on the recon-
mendation of federal relief Off
cials.
Acting Gov. Frank F. Merriam,
while sidestepping a direct answer,
said he had received no complaints
concerning Branion, and that the
question of retention or dismissal
had not entered his mind.

LITTLE HOPE
FOR PASSAGE
OF OIL BILL

WASHINGTON, June Is. U.P) -
A general decline in crude oil prices
was anticipated by the oil admins
tration today because of rejection of
the oil control bill by the house in
terstate commerce committee.
Such a decline, it was said, natur-
ally would accompany unrestricted
production. Oil Administrator Har-
old L. Ickes asserted that defeat of
the bill in committee and new
New Orleans court order would vir-
tually nullify the governments pro-
duction control efforts.
Ickes expressed little hope for
passage of the oil bill at this session
of congress. He said after confer
ence with Attorney General Homer
S. Cummings that he would approve
the Pacific Coast Petroleum Agen-
cy agreement designed to end ru-
inous price war. A committee OF
three will be named by Ickes to OBJ
serve operation of the plan. Sigma
tories of the agreement will be re-
quired to abide by the oil code and
permit no monopolistic practices.

BANKER FLAYS
INSURANCE OF
BANK DEPOSITS

LOS ANGELES, June Is. U.P) -
Deposit insurance is an "opiate"
which has deadening effects ON the
banking business, j. R. Douglas,
Los Angeles banker, told a section
of the National Association of Credit
Men in annual convention here to-
day.
Addressing the credit conference
of industry section, Douglas said the
country must decide whether state
capitalism" should be set up or whe-
ther banking should be restored to
private hands"
Competition of government Gre
dit with private commercial credit
has gone so far" he said. that a
drastic change in our whole econom-
ic structure is indicated. The gov
ernment should withdraw from
competition with private agencies
and the banking business should be
freed from such opiates as deposit
insurance"
The general convention reached
the adjournment stage today with
the election of officers.

LOS ANGELES, June Is. U.P)-
Senator William G.. McAdoo draft
ed" Senator Hiram w. Johnson,
Republican progressive, for service
in the Democratic party today by
advocating his nomination by party
followers.
The junior California senator
and Democratic national commit
teeman also called for the nomina-
ton of George Creel, Democratic
candidate for governor.
Il have taken this stand" Nc
Adoo said in a public statement,
because, in my Judgment, the cleo
ton of both of these men is vital
to the welfare of California.
1.-The courage of Senator John
son, his ability, his patriotism and
his flaming Americanism have
made him an outstanding national
figure. The administration has
had no abler, finer champion, and
his nomination by the Democratic
party in California is not only a
fitting acknowledgment of power
full aid, but is also a recognition of
his essential democracy"

HOUSE PASSES
INDIAN BILL

WASHINGTON, June Is. U.P)-
The house today passed the
Wheeler Howard new deal for In
dians" bill, setting up a $10,000,000
revolving loan fund and liberaliz-
ing several Indian regulations.
The measure, passed by the SEN
ate yesterday, goes to that cham
ber because of differences in the
draft passed by the two bodies.
The house bill ends the allot-
ment system, which according to
the report of the Indian affairs
committee, has cost the Indians
9O,000,000 acres of land in the last
SO years. Sale of Indian lands 10
any except Indians or Indian or
ganizations also is prohibited.
Organization of Indian credit
unions and other cooperative bus
mess associations is authorized by
the section setting UP the revolving
loan fund.
The measure also legalizes sys-
tenn of restricted tribal organiza-
ton. The bill originally proposed
to congress called for much more
liberal governing body, but
this was. eliminated in committee
because of strong opposition.

BRITISH SEIZE
|. FUNDS OWNED
T BY GERMANY
Retaliate For Moratorium On
Foreign Debts Declared By
Reichsbank.
BY HENRY RUSSELL

OHeCu TTcSS StdII correspondent
LONDON, June 15.-Great Britain
decided today to seize German
funds in England to compensate
British creditors for the moratorium
declared by Germany on all her for
eign debts.
Business men will receive COM
pensations for commercial debts as
well as holders of German bonds.
including the guaranteed" Dawes
and Yuong plan loans.
Neville Chamberlain, chancellor OF
the exchequer, announced the plan
In the house of commons, adding
that if Germany voluntarily made
good before July lin other words,
abrogated the moratorium as far
as Britain is concerned-it would
not be put into effect. Su8gs
The seizure would be accom-
pliShed by establishing a clearing
house which would sequester Ger
man funds in London obtained
through export balances, etc.
Britains move, it was believed,
would react unfavorable on the Uni
ted States by making it more diff
cult for American creditors to get
any payment. Lack of German
funds in New York makes a move
similar to the British futile.
Some financial men believed the
British arrangement would provide
that traders buying goods from
Germany should pay the sum due
into the clearing house instead OF
remitting it to Germany. Those SELL
ing goods to Germany would be re-
imbursed from the clearing house
fund. The balance of receipts over
payment would be used to meet the
claims of investors in German
bonds.
= British investors hold about S217.-
100000 in Dawes and Young bonds
on which $10,847,5OO in interest is
due July l.
