FEDERAL BUILDING AND LOAN

r EGALITY of the $478O00OOO system of Federal
IL building and loan associations may be safe
guarded no matter what the Supreme Court decides
In three arising out Of efforts to prevent Wis
consn institutions from converting Federal char
tiers.
Forty Legislatures have passed laws permitting
stae-chartered associations to join the Federal sys-
tenn and the converted institutions in these states
are not involved by issues raised in the Wisconsin
cases. according to Horace Russell, general counsel
for the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
The Supreme Court has set the week of Nov. IL
for arguments in the Wisconsin cases, in which the
state banking department has challenged the right
of the Reliance, the Northern and the Hopkins
Building and Loan Associations of Milwaukee to con-
vert to Federal charters without the departments
consent.
In two of the cases, a state circuit court affirmed
Congress- authority to incorporate Federal associa
tions and to authorize the voluntary conversion of
state association In the third case, the Wisconsin
Supreme Court upheld the banking departments
contention that the conversion was invalid under
the state law.
The cases are the first arising out of the Admin
istratons several-sded mortgage relief program to
reach the high court.
NEARLY all of the converted associations are in
states where enabling legislation has been
passed The state laws were advocated legal pre-
caution although the Home Loan legal division con-
tends that conversions are valid in the absence of
such laws.
The Federal system now embraces 1894 nstitu-
tons which have converted from state to Federal
charters besides 500 new institutions
Assets of the converted associations total $44o,-
100000. The largest of these, the Railroad Federal
Savings and Loan of New York, has s41oOO,OO0. The
new institutions have assets of $3800O00o
Many associations have been led to conversion
because they then eligible for Treasury subscrip
tons to their shares thus increasing their loanable
resources.
The lower house Of the Wisconsin assembly voted
81 to against bill which would have permitted
conversions. Carl Taylor, Milwaukee Building and
Loan League secretary. accused government agents
of making desperate efforts to federaize the asso
Citations before they get back to normal and Peter
A. Cleary state bank commissioner, charged that
agitation for conversion led by Federal
ployes who are anxious to make their jobs perrla-
nent."

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

4 FTER months of investigation professor in

than their wives.
good many of us had already guessed it, just
from hearing the women talk. Two-thirds of their
conversation is lamentation

Stunned accordingly Everybody thinks he's little

Men are happier than women because they are
more satisfied with themselves. The homeler a
father is the more delighted he will be to have his
child the exact replica of himself.
Always confident of his power always content
with his appearance, always sure of his opinions,
the male manages by the time he reaches maturity
to attain self-confidence which carries him tri-
urnphanty through life. He is unconcerned about
what other people think of him, especially people
he cares nothing about.
How differently we are made, ssters I know

looks The one who is tall wants to be short; the
blond pines because she isn't brunei; the maid

HE DOESN'T APPROVE OF
CORN-HOG PROGRAM

BY Harry Clay, Brightwood
Of all the New Deals insane pro-
grams, I think the farmers vote
on the corn-hog reduction is the
most hypocritical feature yet. In
your editorials and cartoons you
seem to approve of it.
Think of it: While millions were
starving, Mr.. Roosevelt had about
eight million pigs and hogs killed.
Think of it: While millions were
in need of clothes, Roosevelt had
II million acres of cotton destroyed.
He told us we had an over-produc-
ton of these necessities, and the
surplus should be destroyed.
Now, Mr.. Editor, Roosevelt knows,
and you know, that there is no
over production as long as there
are millions in the bread lines or on
charity.
After this destruction, Mr.. Farmer
was paid to reduce his hogs, wheat
and corn crops. A process tax was
placed on these articles and We city
people were made to pay it; as a
result, millions soon will have to
do without pork.
The government gave the process
tax to Mr.. Farmer for not raising
corn, wheat, hogs and cotton-paid
him for doing nothing with money
squeezed from the workers. For each
hog he agreed not to raise Mr..
Farmer was given SIS. He was paid
SO much a bushel for corn and
wheat which he does not raise.
Then an election was held. The
farmer votes on whether he still

Leaves
BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY

I like to see the autumn leaves go
fitting through the air;
They're like strange array of peo-
pie crowding to a fair;
II variegated colors, all bright and
vivid, gay,
They swarm the streets and coun-
tryside in sprightly famed array.
But when the day is over, and the
fun begins to wane,
Fair people look quite dowdy as they
scamper home again.
The leaves lose their compilations,
too, the same as folks at play
And rest in homely crevices, drab
ghosts Of past array.

Let me add my voice to those urg-

We have too many drivers who
are not concerned with anybody but
themselves.
If we can educate drivers to give
the other fellow break instead of
squeezing ahead of him all the time
our streets will be much safer.

said that taxation without repre-

tax is not only unjust but is
robbery.
Now I would like to ask: Why so
much concern about the farmer?
We are told that he has been hit
hard by the panic, that he is not
getting enough for his crops and
that millions have lost their farms.
Is that any worse than for millions
of city workers to lose their homes
after working almost a lifetime to
pay for them? The farmers at least
have had what they wanted to eat.
Very few ever had to get in the
bread line like the poor city worker.
Why SO much unfair diScrimina-
ton?
Did you say votes? Well, we city
workers also have votes.

RESTORATION
EXPECTED
Continued u. S. Loans Will
Raise Quotation, Senator
Russell Predicts

Continued Government loans
will be sufficient to restore
prices" Senator Russell CD Of
Georgia stated today after he was
assured at the White House there
would be no change in the Gov.
ernment's existing cotton loan and
production restriction policy.
The wide break in the cotton
market was the subject Of a White
House conference attended by Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace:
Chester c. Davis, AAA admins
traitor; Jesse H. Jones, chairman
Of the RFC, and Lynn p. Talley,
president of the COMMODITY Credit
Corporation.
248 Million Outstanding
This corporation has $248,606,-
420 outstanding in loans on cot
ton at IL cents a pound while the
open market price fell below that
price Monday and yesterday.
Cotton held under these loans
and that held by the option pool,
and the old loans the AAA took
over from the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration amounts to about s.
691 ,585 bales, thereby placing al
most half of the total stocks OF
American cotton-11 ,901 900 bales
under Government control.
Favorable Price Seen
The consensus is that the
market price will be favorable
when the loans become due be-
cause Senator Russell expressed
his disbelief that "the AdminiStra-
ton will let cotton prices collapse
to any extent"
AAA officials were stunned by
the sudden drop in prices while
Senator Bankhead CD Of Ala
bama, blamed it on false propa-
ganda. Other sources thought the
drop was due to the Governments
own loan and restriction policy
while still another quarter cited a
move in Congress to impound cot
ton controlled by the Government
as the probable cause.

REYNOLDS STRIED
TOD|S|NHER|T
CHILD, CLAIM
Lawyer Claims Tobacco Heir
Wanted to DiSoWn Baby
By His First Wife

WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., March
13 G.N.SO.-Two months after
his estranged first wife, Anne
Cannon, North Carolina towel
heiress, bore a child in 1880,
Zachary Smith Reynolds, heir to
a $25, ,000, 900 tobacco fortune who
died from a mysteriously fired
bullet in 1882, sought legal service
on disinheriting the child.
This was the assertion today OF
the Reynolds family, through
their attorney, H. G. Hudson, as
the lengthy legal battle between
Anne, the first wife, since mar
ried and divorced a second time,
and Libby Holman Reynolds,
Broadway torch singer and Zach
ary's second wife, shaped toward
q climax.
Pleading for the courts approval
Of a settlement offered by the
Reynolds family which would give
Anne's daughter approximately
$4,000, 900, and Libby's son ap-
proximately 100000. Mr.. Hud-
son said:
eve want this matter consid-
cred in the light Of circum-
stances existing in 1881 and not
as Of today.
"The contention (Of Anne) is
that there was no controversy
in 1881, but we deny this-Smith
Reynolds consulted attorneys
two months after the birth of
Anne Cannon Reynolds I'd in
1880 seeking advice as to his
power of making a will cutting
her off,"
WANTS 1T ALL
Anne, who claims she was per-
suaded against her will to divorce
young Reynolds and that the
divorce is not valid because she
allegedly was i'll and doped with
morphine when her divorce depo-
sition was taken at Reno, is seek
ing the entire 25,000,000 fortune
for her child, Anne Cannon
Reynolds I'd.
She contends her divorce was
not valid, therefore Zachary's
marriage to Libby six days after
the divorce was granted was not
legal and Libby's son, born six
months after young Reynolds
death, is not legitimate heir.
Mr.. Reynolds, at that time,
Mr.. Hudson said, was a minor.
He wanted to move from the
State and make a will that would |
prevent Anne and her daughter |
from sharing in any portion of |
his fortune.
He separated from Anne a few
weeks after their marriage at
York, S. c., in November, 1929,
when serious and unpleasant diff
ficulties arose." Mr.. Hudson said,
and, after the 'child's birth, re-
fused to acknowledge any obliga-
tion to her or to Anne Cannon.
Later, the young sportsman
agreed to a divorce settlement of
81 100000 with the understand
ing, affirmed by Anne Cannon,
that his wife and her daughter
would waive all further claims on
his fortune.
The reason for Zachary's re-
fusal to acknowledge Anne's child
was concealed, on insistence of
counsel for the Cannon family,
Mr.. Hudson said, 80 as not to
