FLEMING TAKES
BANKPLANS TO
WHITEH0USE

Robert v. Fleming, president OF
the American Bankers Association,
laid his plans before President
Roosevelt yesterday to return to
private bankers functions now I'M
dertaken by Federal agencies.
AS he left the White House,
Fleming said he had outlined
plans for a series of regional con.
ferences to this end, but did not
attempt to interpret the Presi'
dents attitude toward the plan.
Mr.. Roosevelt said long ago
that when the bankers were ready
to resume lending the Govern.
ment would quit the field.
He has repeatedly urged lower
interest rates, and Fleming'S call
came within "a hours after an an.
nouncement by the Reconstruc-
ton Corporation re-emphasizing
the drive for lower rates in rail
road financing.
The regional conferences Of
bankers will consider the question
of taking over the banking func-
tons of the Government along
with general study of services
that banks can perform under the
new laws and regulations. Elem.
ing said.
The first conference, he said,
will be held at Philadelphia Janu.
AIRY % and "a. Bankers in the
territory ranging from New Eng
land to Ohio and Virginia will be
invited. Succeeding conferences
will be held at Atlanta or Mem

BUS LINES AWAIT
TERMINALS RULING
Utilities Commission Considers
Forcing 0ff-Street Plan,
Following Hearings.

A decision probably will be given
within the next week or 10 days by
the Public Utilities Commission on
whether to force intracity and suburban
bus lines to procure and maintain Of
street terminals to replace their curb
terminals now In the downtown con-
gested area.
The hearing ended yesterday with
representatives of all the bus COM
-panies contending of street terminals
will not meet popular demand or needs
and that such establishments would
be prohibitive in cost.
The chief questions involved are
whether the on-street terminals add
to traffic congestion, and whether Key
Bridge should be abandoned by Ar
lington County, Va, buses in favor
of the Arlington Memorial Bridge.
Georgetown business men and resi-
dents have been making vigorous
protest against removing the lines
from M street and Key Bridge, and
the bus companies themselves have
fought against the charge that their
vehicles contribute to traffic conges-
ton by short halts at downtown
points.

w WITH Friday midnight the

wv tax returns, Government
Y experts are being faced
with a milling horde OF
Washingtonians, anxious to get their
papers in on time. but more anxious
that, under the new regulations this
year, the figures are correct.
Through Room 1902 at the Bureau
of Internal Revenue, at Twelfth street
and Con rStitution avenue, last week
poured a continuous stream of Wash
ington business and professional men,
Government workers and people from
all strata of life in the National
Capital.
The flood reached its peak Thurs
day, the warm day last week, when
1901 persons filed through the big
room and were given expert advice
and help.
The average for the past week as
a whole was about 1900 persons a
day. This week, however, with only
five more business days and nights re-
naming, the big rush is expected to
consist Of q veritable small size mob
converging on the deputy collectors

IL Experts on Job.
In spite of the fact that IL Govern

up part of their hard-earned salary
or profits for the year.
These corridors have been in con-
slant use during the past week, as
long lines of taxpayers filled up the
limited space inside of room 1902
and overflowed into the Railways out
side. Sometimes the lines are run
east and west, sometimes north and
south But no matter how long the

The Army is understood to have
argued that the Department of JUS
tice is in position to relinquiSh the
Leavenworth annex now that the War
Department has released to the Prison
Bureau the former military prison on
Alcatraz Island, in San Francisco Bay.
The military authorities declare the
annex is needed to house military
prisoners formerly confined at Alca-
traz and a group held at the prison
In New York harbor.
No Exchange Recalled.
The Justice officials contend there
was no understanding that Alcatraz
would be exchanged for the Leaven-
worth annex.
Alcatraz has capacity of only 500
prisoners. while the annex can ac-
commodate three times that number.
The island prison, recently recondi-
toned and equipped with latest de-
vices to detect and prevent escapes,
is reserved for the more hardened,
incorrigible prisoners. Included in
this category are such gangsters as
Harvey Bailey, George Machine Gun"
Kelly. Albert Bates and AL Capone.
These notorious convicts, designated
by Cummings as trouble makers" y"
are being transferred from the other
Federal prisons under gradual weed

ceeding quietly for months.
Leased Annex for Five Years.
The Department of Justice leased
The annex at Fort Leavenworth from
the War Department in October, 1929,
for a period of five years The Justice
officials have expended about $4,000
in maintaining the prison. The orig
inal lease expired last october, at
which time an extension until June
was granted. Further extensions have
been refused by Army authorities.
The annex is used chiefly to house
drug addicts and other convicts in
volved in narcotic law violations.
Army officers and other residents
in the vicinity of the annex are said
to have complained about the housing
of these prisoners on. the military
reservation, on the ground that their
presence constitutes a hazard to the
community. The residents are said
to live in fear of prison break.
