Supreme Court of Banking

"Since the passage of the Federal Re-
serve Act over 20 years ago. opinion In
Congress and among bankers has been
striving towards the ideal Of making
the Federal Reserve Board body OF
such independence and prestige that II
might be described as the Supreme
Court of Finance and Banking. We be-
lieve there is greater need now than
ever before for realizing this ideal.

OFFICIALS GROUP
TO HOLD UNIT
MEETINGS HERE
County, Township Officers
to Coordinate at First
Convention.

Co operation among various
county and township officials and
COORDINATION of their functions and
activities will be the keynote of the
first annual convention Of the In
diana County and Township Of
ficials Association, Dec. lib in the
Claypool and SEVERN.
Group meetings for each Of the
established organizations of county
or township officials, several joint
sessions in which the 2500-person
combined membership will partici-
pate anC an extensive and elaborate
entertainment program ale sched-
uled.
The Indiana Association of
County and Township Officials was
formed seven months ago as re-
suit of the desire for fuller CO.
operation among groups which
heretofore had met on different
dates each year in cities throughout
the state. Groups include town.
ship trustees, county commissioners,
auditors, assessors, sheriffs, clerks,
recorders, treasurers, highway SUI
pervisors, surveyors and engineers
and attorneys.
The new organization was re-
ceived in every county with &C
claim. 1t met the desire of many,
not only of officials, but Of others
who had long felt there should be
a closer affiliation of elected Of
ficials," James A. Slane, Lafayette,
executive secretary, said today.
THE movement started when at
tacks were made on township
trustees and county commissioners.
There seems to be a concerted eff
fort to make fundamental changes
in the basic law or at least to evade
the Constitution on these Offices
Realizing that If these offices we're
affected, other county offices also
would be affected, steps were taken
to form a wide organization.
THE association is n-political,
members on both parties and many
not in official life heing supporters.
County meetings have been a means
of bringing officials in each county
closer together, thereby making a
way for better cooperation and, ma
turally. giving the taXpaying citi-
zen better administration.

POWER LINES JAM
CHEVY CHASE OAKS
Parks Chief Sees Situation
Becoming Worse as
Trees Grow.

Willow oak trees, planted recently
TO beautify Chevy Chase Circle at Con-
necticut avenue and the District line,
now are being crowded by power cables
and other wires attached to street car
poles at the east and west sides Of the
circle, and the condition promises TO
become increasingly worse.
c. Marshall Finnan, superintendent
Of the National Capital Parks, revealed
this fact today after an inspection by
landscape architects of the National
Park Service. Interior Department.
The willow oaks are on the rim Of the
circle and the power lines follow the
street car lines.
Whfle the trees are not being seri-
ously hampered just now, the park
chief sees the condition becoming seri-
ously menacing as they grow taller
and are impeded by the heavy cables.
Some think that the powerful electric
wires will have an effect upon them,
particularly in times of storm, when
the branches Of the trees will be blown
against the cables and electricity may
leak out, damaging them. Mr.. Finnan
said that in about two years the con-
dition will become bad
The Public Utilities Commission has
under consideration a plan whereby
street cars out Connecticut avenue
may be eliminated and buses substi-
tuted along that heavily Travelled high
way. If this occurs then the trolley
poles, with their accompanying cables
and wires, would come down, officials
said. This would be q solution Of the
problem.
Oficials Of the Potomac Electric
Power Co., said today that they have

Authorities Of the Capital Transit Co.
conceded that they have two power
cables on the east side of the circle,
attached to the trolley poles, and one
cable on the west side, also attached
to poles. All three cables, they said.
supply power to the street cars that
operate out to Chevy Chase Lake.
Mr.. Finnan said today that he pro-
poses to negotiate with the owners Of
the cables to see If they can be re-
moved.
The contractor Is now finishing I'D
work on the fountain In Chevy Chase
Circle and Mr.. Finnan explained TODAY
that some sandstone Is being replaced.
AS soon as the Federal Government
ofncislly accepts the work, he said.

IN THE outer rim Of the inner

~ mumbling behind their hands
against President Roosevelt's
sweeping conception of the Supreme
Court decision. They blame II on
Mr.. Richberg. They say he is acting
as personal attorney general to the
President in this matter, that he
selected the lost case and now feels
all is lost.
What they want to do is to act
as if nothing had happened, give
the court decision the narrowest pos
sible legal Interpretation and rush on.
They object to having the whole New
Deal thrown into a constitutional
fight.
These assertions are not eractly

KENNEDY AT POST
Securities Commission Chief De.
cides to Stay Until Situa.
ton Is Clarified. 3
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Courts invalidatiou of
N. r. A. has led Chairman Joseub p
Kennedy of the Securities Commission
to defer his tentative plans for re.
signing soon. -
Kennedy had nothing to say todav
on the matter, but associates asserted
the chairman believed the general sit
uation was too indecisive for him to
make any plans for leaving. He was
said to have decided tentatively on a
further stay Of six months or q year.
Although President Roosevelt has
contended that the N. r. A. decision,
oy implication, raised doubts of the
constitutionality of the securities act
and the securities and exchange act.
which the commission administers.
commission members themselves have
expressed no worry that their work
would not survive court tests.
But Kennedy was represented as
feeling that retirement would not be
q suitable move until the situation Is
more settled. -
Commission experts express the be-
lief that N. r. A. constitutional dif-
flculties do not touch the Securities
Commission directly. They hold that
the Government has extensive power
to govern what goes in the mails or
crosses State lines. and that there are
few security operations which do not
involve interstate movement.
There Is an expectation. however,
that the N. r. A. decision may accel-
crate test cases on some parts of the
law-for example. as to whether a COR
poration official who makes money In
security operations In the shares Of
his corporation must return such profit
to the corporation.
The power of the commission to re-
quire publication of salaries and some
other data also may be questioned
More than a hundred corporations al
ready have asked that such informa-
ton be kept confidential.

Interior Department today dropped a
proposal that idle engineers and archi-

Of the department, applied for $7,s2S,-
600 of work-reIief money to carry on
its portion Of the venture one year.
Ofiicials said the Coast and Geodetic
Survey would cooperate and that the
topographic maps to be prepared would
require 10 years for completion.
Each square mile Of the 48 States,
Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands would have an inch-square
place on the maps. It was said that
similar ones already had been drawn
for about half of this area, but that
the National Resources Board con-
sidered only about one-fourth of these
In conformity with its requirements.
Treasury Asks sss4.ooe.
The Geological Surveys proposal was
the largest In q batch Of applications,
totaling $12, ,776, 200, announced by the
Applications Division.
The Treasury requested $964, 900 for
study Of Federal tax collections and
an analysis of State and local debts
from 1880 to 1885. Reduction of tax
conflicts between the Federal and
State Governments was described as
one aim.
A request for s5s5, 900 to survey and
map grazing lands in Far-Western
States was received from the Interior
Department, and the Navy Depart
ment asked $l,544,200 for 21 base
construction projects in California,
Connecticut. Massachusetts,. South
Carolina. Virginia and the District
Of Columbia.
A hood-control project in Louisiana,
estimated to cost $1,s25, 900, was pro-
posed by the War Department.
President Roosevelt's Allotment Ad-
visory Committee, at its fourth meet
ing yesterday, decided that projects
proposed from now on must involve q
lowering of the ratio of material
costs to labor costs"
81 Projects Recommended.
1t was explained that some of the
81 ,260, ,000, 900 Of proposals which the
committee already has approved will
require comparatively high outlays for
materials and equipment, bringing
their cost per person employed above
the sl,100 average that the President
has to spend.
At the conclusion of its session the
committee announced it had recon-
mended only Il projects, totaling
$13,629, TOO, and that these and other
recommendations in the future would
be kept secret until Mr.. Roosevelt had
an opportunity to pass upon them.
The White House has given final
approval to $683, ,622, 500 Of projects
so far.
The committee considered a sugges-
ton that the present age limit for
members Of the Civilian Conservation
Corps-I8 to 20 years-be raised and
that more single men be enrolled.
Robert Fechner, director of the c.
G. c., told the group 1t would be
dificult to enlist 100000 additional
recruits from relief families, as
planned. unless the enlistment re-
quirements were modified.
