PHOENIX, Ariz. April 13-An
area 700 miles long and 400 miles
wide was coated with dirt today as
a dust storm swept from the Colo
RADIO River to FL Paso, Texas.
Originating in the Texas Pan
handle region, the storm crossed
New Mexico, touched FL PaSo and
swept westward to Colorado, where
it menaced southern California.
Only low pressure area in Cali
fornia kept the yellow clouds of dust
from crossing the river into dry I'M
perial Valley and then heading for
the ocean.
The thick clouds plotted out the
sun at Douglas, Ariz., and cut Wis
Utility to less than three miles near
Phoenix.
Passenger airline pilots complet-
ing late runs reported the yellow
bank extended nearly three miles
into the air Arriving planes were
thickly coated with dust.
The dust -choked air forced
motorists between Phoenix and
Tucson to turn back, their cars
covered with dirt.
Reports from Gallup and Lords
burgh, N. NJ, said the storm was
breaking in that region.
Santa Fe trains through the
Southwest were from two to 10
hours late. The Southern Pacific
was working exclusively on late
schedules.
Weather Bureau experts said
there was little danger of the
storm reaching the coast of Cali
fornia. They said the low pressure
area over most OF the California
coast region would prevail for two
or three days, after which the dust
storm probably will have blown it.

Criminal Judge Frank P.
Baker fixed bonds on the
charges at $4,000 for Mr..
Miller and Mr.. Rinehart and
$4,000 for Mr.. Meyer who is
now out on a $4,000 bond in
connection with a similar
charge.
Capias warrants were issued for
the arrest of the three bankers.
EXtradition proceedings to bring
Mr.. Meyer back to this city from
his home in Miami. Fla. and Mr..
Rinehart from his residence in
Louisville, KY, will be started next
week, Prosecutor Spencer said.
Mr.. Miller has been reported i'll
at his home, 313O N. Delaware-st.
The three aff1davits are identical
in that they charge each former
bank officer with accepting deposits
with the knowledge that each of
the banks was inSolvent on or about
the date OF the closing of the three
institutions.
DepOsitOrs Are Named
The affidavit against Mr.. Miller
charges that on Oct. %, 1880. the
day before the City Trust Co. closed.
that deposit of SIS in money was
accepted by the bank from Wilfred
Bradshaw. Mr.. Bradshaw now is
judge of Municipal Court One.
Mr.. Rinehart is charged, through
bank employees, with accepting a de-
post from the Roberts Restaurant.
Inc, Of S312.63 in money on Oct. q,
1880, the day the Washington Bank
and Trust Co. closed its doors.

S129.98 in money deposited by Lee
F. Remmetter, druggist, of 1925 E.

Morris Death Recalled
Mr.. Spencer pointed out that in
filing the charges every effort was
made to fix the responsibility
for alleged violation of the state
banking statutes on men holding
the presidency or highest executive
position in the banks.
Although Mr.. Rinehart resigned
as vice president Of the Washing
ton Bank and Trust Co. in 1929 to
head the Farmers Trust Co. he
still retained his dictatorship in
the w. Westinghouse bank up to
the time Of its closing, Mr.. Spencer
says.
J. Edward Morris, president of the
w. Westinghouse institution, was
found dead in his garage, victim Of
carbon monoXlde poisoning. He was
believed TO have committed suicide.
The prosecutor was emphatic in
declaring that he did not expect 20
file additional charges against other
officers or directors Of the closed in
stitutiOns.
Depositors' Aid Needed
Additional charges may be filed
against one bank officer now facing
a criminal court trial. No new
charges will be filed against officials
