FEELING TOWARD BANKS
OF NATION ON UPGRADE
Favorable Turns in Public Opinion
Cited in Survey.
BIZ Times Special

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Ninety-six
per cent of over 300 reporting clear
ing houses throughout the United
States find concrete evidence Of
favorable turns in public opinion
regarding banks, it is shown in the
results of survey made public here
today by Banking" the monthly
publication of the American Bank
ing Association
The outstanding conclusion is
that there has been a genuine ma
ton wide improvement the last few
months in the attitude of the public
toward its banking institutions"
the publication says.
How do bankers know there has
been an improvement in the public
attitude? They have certain sta
tistical evidence. They have seen
their deposits increase substantially
in nearly all the cases reported, and
tremendously in some cases. Many
letters tell of increases of 100 to 800
per cent from the low point of the
panic. For another thing, they
know that fewer people are using
safe deposit boxes as repository
for their savings, and that, in many
instances at least, postal savings are
declining"

Cubic Feet of Gas Daily.
By Times Special

By Times Special
DEARBORN, Aug. 5.-Excavation
has been begun at the Rouge plant
of the Ford Motor Co. here for two
new batteries of coke ovens which,
when completed, will provide 8,OOO,-
900 cubic feet more gas per day for
plant operations than is now avail
able from sources within the Rouge
grounds.
The excavation marks the first
step in a project which will cost
100000. Foundations for the two
batteries, each comprising 81 ovens,
will be laid before winter, and the
ovens will be ready to produce by
next summer. The 100000 will
pay for Improvements to present
by-products production equipment
in addition to actual installation Of
ovens.
To insure a greater degree Of
permanency in the new ovens, con-
crete and steel pilings are to be
sunk go feet to hard pan. There
will be about $4,000 pounds Of

Debt Cut Effect on MOP Operations
Under Van S7Ce1inger Plan Weighed
RFC Would Be Given Right
to Select Two
Directors.

in effect in 1882, 1888 and 1884 the
company would have earned its
fixed charges an average LAB times,
sponsors claim.
A return TO 1929 earnings of s34,-
543,868 would, on the same basis,
cover fixed charges 4.60 times, leav-
ing about S27000,0O0 for income
obligations and other corporate
needs.
Suitable proportions of income are
to be applied TO debt retirement, so
arranged that, if earnings fail to
reach former levels and continue
below what is needed to support
proposed income obligations, reduc-
tions of debt ultimately will reach
level where earnings will sustain
them.
The Reconstruction Finance Corp,
which is offered dollar for dollar in
new first mortgage bonds for its
loans, would have the right to ap-
prove selection of two of the Is
directors. Holders of general mort
gage bonds would name three men,
bers of the directing board; holders
of convertible notes would name
two; preferred stock. voting as a
class, would be entitled to three;
the remaining five being elected by
holders of common stock.
Importance of stock holdings in
controlling the company is claimed
to be minimized by the new direc-
torial Set-up. The stock holdings of
Allegheny Corp, a Van Sweringen
interest, thus would not suffer from
a reduction from approximately 40
per cent to approximately So per
cent.
Allegheny Corp. would exchange
its $11,152,000 bonds for new first
preferred stock, ten shares for each
81 900 bond. For its present holding
of 10000 shares of preferred stock
the corporation would receive like
number of shares of new common,
and for its present $4,000 shares of
common 40 per cent of new COM
mon stock.

Three Major Detectives of
Proposal Studied by
|. G. c.

By United Press
WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-Three
ma or detectives of the plan for re-
organizing the Missouri Pacific
Railroad being studied by the In
terstate Commerce Commission to-
day are:
Reduction of fixed charges.
Reduction Of debt.
Creation of securities to receive
interest only if earned.
The ICC was given the plan on
behalf of the board of directors by
o. P. Van SWeringen, chairman,
with a request that a date be set for
public hearing at which the plan
may be fully presented with sup
porting testimony.
Security holders were sent copies
of the plan, accompanied by a state
ment declaring that, in spite OF
present conditions, there is reason
to believe a great future will open
before this system when it emerges
from reorganization"
The proposed consolidation would
bring Missouri Pacific and thirty
subsidiary carriers into one new
company to govern a system of
railways, totaling approximately
$1,000 miles.
New Orleans and Mexico Railway
Company and International-G Great
Northern Railroad Company joined
IL filing the Dlan
Other important carriers affected
arr Texas & Pacific, separately
operated, but in which Missouri
Pacific has stock control, and Den
yer & Rio Grande Western, so per
cent owned by Missouri Pacific.
The new company would nave
only three classes of Indebtedness
and two classes of stock, as COM
pared with 83 issues Of indebted
ness and 33 kinds of stock now out
standing.
The new capitalization would be
less than original cost of properties
and below the valuation fixed for
fair return. The initial stock issue
would comprise 1,053,554 shares Of
