INITIATION FEARS
HELD IMAGINARY
EccIes Defends Deficit as
Turning Money Into Pri-
vate Channels.

By the Associated Press.
A forcefully expressed opinion that
fears of imitation have been exag-
gerated was given the House Banking
Committee today by Mariner S.
Eccles, governor of the Federal Re-
serve Board.
Appearing before the committee
again to discuss the omnibus banking
bill, Eccles said:
cali this talk we've heard the last
three years about the danger Of in
fation has been largely imaginary.
There is a means of creating tre-
mendous credit imitation. But that
doesn't necessarily mean we are 60
ing to get it. People have got to be
willing to use bank credit.
Must Spend First.
SCI don't believe it is so easy to get
imitation. Certainly many efforts
have been made, but We are just as
far from it now AS we were three years
ago. Unless people without money
and without jobs are put in possession
Of money and jobs, and unless people
and corporations with money will
spend the money they have, you can't
get an initiation by purely changing
the gold content, or by silver legisla-
tion, unless your action actually puts
money into the hands of people who
will spend 1t and induces others who
have it to spend it."
Claims Deficit Needed.
Eccles renewed his contention that
a governmental deficit was needed in
time Of depression, and added:
''The income tax system must be
worked in and tied in with the none
tary system. A substantial increase
in taxes at the present time, If it
would pull into the Treasury money
which otherwise would be spent and
thus reduce private spending, would
be of no particular help.
THE time to increase taxes is when
incomes are such that income taxes
will produce substantial revenue.
There is only one way to get out of
the depression, and that is to expand
the Government deficit until private
credit expands, and that depends on
private willingness to expand credit" I"

Headley's testimony was punctuated
with sharp clashes between himself,

on leaving the witness stand was this:
I've been a member of the police

Agreed to "Step Aside"
Headley explained he had advised
Blanton of his interest in a promo

Texan told him friends Of Inspector
Bean wanted him to "Step aside" I"
Headley said he agreed without any
hesitation.
why should Mr.. Blanton be asking
you?" asked Fitzpatrick.
You will have to ask him." Headley
replied. Hes my friend and I value
his friendship very much. I was an
aspirant for the honor of assistant
superintendent Of police. I stepped
out of the picture"
The understanding was," continued
Fitzpatrick, that when Inspector
Bean retired, after short while, you
would succeed him?"
THAT was not part Of a bargain"

standing"
