WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Chair-
man Duncan u. Fletcher Of the Sem
ate Banking and Currency Commit
tee this afternoon described the Ad-
ministration's new banking bill as "a
good long step toward centraliza-
ton" and announced he would press
Immediately toward its enactment.
Conservative opposition to the I'M
~precedented extension of Federal
Reserve Board powers continued to
center around Senator Carter Glass
Cd. Va.), former secretary of the
treasury. Senator Glass sharply
criticised the bill as an effort to re-
ate a central bank by ~subterfuge.
Mr.. Glass does not believe the
Federal Reserve Act, Of which ne
was the author 20 years ago, re-
quires amendment.
L had not thought any amend
ment was necessary" the Senator
told the United Press. Perhaps it
would be better to make some use
Of the bank act Of 1891

Fletcher Backs Bank Bill,
Likes Capitalization Idea

That act, known as the Glass
Steagall bill. greatly increased re-
serve authority over member banks
by providing penalties for bank di-
rectors and officials who ignore re-
serve recommendations with respect
to sound banking practice.
Senator Fletcher said he would in
troduce the bill in the Senate i'm
mediately and the committee would
decide its own course of action. He
denied any attempt to obstruct con-
sideration by a subcommittee headed
by Mr.. Glass. but admitted the
measure probably would be taken up
by the full committee.
This bill enlarges the power c.
the Federal Reserve Board" Mr.,
Fletcher said. II think it is a good
thing.
Most features Of the bill are ex-
~cellent," he said, although I ques-
ton somewhat permitting more
loans on REAL estate"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-02-06
Salient features of the bill are:
l. Stream pollution deleterious to

public health or that interferes with
industry. farming, trucking, live
stock raising or fish life is made I'M
lawful and placed under control of
the Department OF Commerce and

2. The Department is authorized
to determine what constitutes a pol
luted condition of streams, and,

force orders.
3. Findings of municipal pollution

trary, unreasonable or fraudulent,

preme Court by either party is per-
mitted.
4. Abatement Of the pollution

er affirmation of the final order.
5. To defray expenses, munich
palities may raise funds by issuing

would bring the total Indebtedness
in excess of legal maximum, the
municipalities shall issue revenue
bonds, payable from service charge

STREET FIGHTING

Disorders Mark Anniversary
of Bloody Riots of
Year Ago.

By United Press
PARIS, Feb. 6.-Street disorders
marked the anniversary of the
bloody Stavisky riots today as strong
forces of armed mobile guards and
police massed to prevent demonstra-
tons.
Police clashed in the Place st.
Michel with 1000 students who
howled insults at them. Authori-
ties chased them into side streets,
One student was arrested as leader.
Royalists, the die-hard Facists,
booed Premier Pierre Etienne Elan
din as he left the heavily guarded
Notre Dame Cathedral after a re-
QUEEN mass for the Is persons killed
in the riots a year ago today.
Assassin. they shouted until the
police massed in the vicinity forced
them back.
Because of the nervous temper of
the crowds, the King and Queen of
Denmark. arriving on their way to
the Riviera, were heavily guarded.

their voting strength but de-
cided not to act until Friday.
Many Democratic members
of the House consulted with
Speaker Edward H. Stein in
his offices. The nature of the COM
ferences was not officially am
nounced, but T. was understood
from reliable sources Mr.. Stein was
determining the attitude of the
majority members.
Meanwhile in the Senate, the
Constitutional Revision COMMITTEES
today submitted a report to the
upper house urging immediate rati-
fication of the amendment.
Ratification Is Urged
Both Houses now have committee
reports favoring ratification. The
House received a divided report Of
the labor committee, a minority
recommending rejection of tbs
amendment. It is upon accepting
or rejecting the minority report
that the House will vote.
American Legion leaders through
out the state and The Indianapolis
Times yesterday acquainted advo-
Gates of the Child Labor Amendment
with the situation in the lower
house and urged that kilograms and
other messages be sent to Repre-
sentatives urging their approval Of
the resolution, which would placs
Indiana in line with % other states
in favor of abolishing the exploita-
ton of children.
Advocates of ratification were
cheered by the Endorsement of the
Child Labor Amendment by Leo M.
Rappaport, prominent Indianapolis
attorney.
Attorney Urges Action
"There should be no hesitation on
the part of the members of the In
diana Legislature to ratify thesChild
Labor Amendment Mr.. Rappaport
said.
AS long as there are employers
who are not sufficiently interested
in the social welfare of the nation
to voluntarily abolish child labor,
it is necessary for the strong arm
of the law to correct the evil" he
continued.
THAT it is an evil is so self-evi-
dent that it does not permit Of
much discussion. Child labor stunts
the development and growth of a
large number of our future citi-
zens; it affords employment at such
low wages that an adult can not ex-
ist On them and it places cheaply
produced goods in unfair competi-
ton with the wares of employers
who refrain from exploiting chill
dren.
Backed by Many Groups
II believe the majority of Amer
lean employers are so socially
minded as to favor the abolishment
of child labor. The few who are
not, must be brought into line by
legal compulsion," MI. Rappaport
declared.
Ratification of the amerdment
has been urged by President Roose-
welt to make permanent the abolish~
ment of child labor temporarily ac-
complished through NRA codes.
Gov. Paul V. McNutt in his an
nual message to the General AS
sembly also recommended ratifca-
ton, as have Governors of % other
states.
The amendment is supported by
the Indiana Federation Of Labor,
the Indiana League of Women Vot-
ers, the indiana w. c. T. u, the
Indiana Congress of Parent-T Teach
ers, Indiana Pastors Association, and
more than a dozen other statewide
organizations.

Sergeant Louis kubler, who mad
charge of the finger print and lad
der clues. He did his utmost to
demonstrate alleged i~nef1ciency of
their work.
The only new mact he was able to
bring out, however, was that there
was a beer stein on the window sill
at the time of the kidnapping. The
beer stein had not previously been
mentioned.
Fishers questioning %revolved
around the fact that no finger
prints were found either in the
nursery or on the ladder that pre-
sumably was used to commit the
KIDNAPPING.
In cross-examination of the three
witnesses Atty Gen. David T. Will
entz brought out the states theory
that the kidnaper wore gloves.
No Fingerprints Found
A process which will bring out
finger prints on wood, many years
after they have been made" was
not used by the police. But. is was
shown, the process was not perfect
ed until long after the Lindbergh
KIDNAPPING, and meanwhile the lad
der had been p~rocessed' for finger
prints by the old fashioned method.
In the interval between the find
ing of the ladder on the Lindbergh
| estate, on the morning of March 2,
1892, until it was carefully photo
graphed on March 81, many hun
bred hands touched it, and the
f1ngerprint results were inconclusive.
The strange fact that no finger
prints were found in the nursery,
even of servants or members of the
Lindbergh household, was also force
fully brought out.

an insanity record. joined the gal

A mysterious package, which fur
cutter Isidor Fisch appears to have
carried all owe the Bronx in 1893,
entered the case through Strep-
! pone's testimony.
The witness, who said he owned a
radio repair shop, declared Fisch
left the package, which was about
the size of a shoe box, in his shop
one afternoon in May, 1888.
The Hauptmann defense vas at
tempting to prove that Fisch tried
to conceal the Lindbergh ransom
money by leaving it with numerous
friends. Mrs. Bertha Hof testified
yesterday that Hauptmann's tuber-
cular friend wanted to leave a pack
age with her, but that she refused
to take care of it..

wherever he went Campo Ragland,
grim as was his mood, half smiled in
return as they shook hands.
Seems like people didn't hardly real
lie how important Mason was around
here, until now he's dead" Kentucky
began. "Of course he naturally had
enemies"
you can't run bank right" said
Ragland lifelessly, without raising up
an enemy here and there" The boss
of the Bar Hook was not quite as tall
as Kentucky Jones, but his lean,
stopped shoulders were very broad.
His eyes were blue, like his daugh-
ter's. And though the general aspect
of his face was benign it was face
which could set grimly and stubbornly,
turning into a fighting face.
Curious" said Kentucky Jones,
watching Ragland closely, that every
body was so ready to accept that he
went to work and shot himself-acci-
dentally."
"What else could it have been but
accidentally" Ragland said impa-
tiently.
Nothing ! guess" said Kentucky |;
but on pretty near any other range
somebody would most likely have tried
to prove there was shenanigan."
For moment Campo Ragland's eyes
turned upon Kentucky. Watching him
intently, Kentucky Jones could not.
however, see that the mans face
changed. II suppose So" said Rag
land, without expression; and he half
turned, as if he would walk on.
Kentucky Jones wavered an instant.
His cautious prodding had failed; but
its failure was more challenging than
a revealing answer. He plunged.
"Mr. Ragland," he said, "can you use
a MANI"
Ragland's eyes quickened. II don't
want no more of these fivver tourists
we get for COW hands today. But If
you got in mind some good steady"
II was speaking for myself" said
Kentucky Jones.
"Come off You're a cattle trader"
"Times are bad, Mr.. Ragland; the
more so with Mason dead. l was a
brush pepper before l was a trader,
| and I'm good one yet. And I'd sure
like to fill in at it for a while. Plain
COW walloping is all l want"
"Well," said Ragland, doubtfully. 'if
you want a plain riding job for the
rest Of the winter, at fifty-five and
found, I sure can't refuse you; though
must say, it comes as a kind of sur
prise"
"I'm on, then," said Kentucky.

way the roads is. I'll leave an order

SEEK BAN ON BIBLE

The Freethinlers Of America and
Joseph Lewis, president, have instl-
tuted a suit in the New York State
Supreme court "to stop the reading
Of the Bible and existence Of re-
liglously controlled societies In our
public schools" in order ito uphold
the American principle of the sep
aration of church and state"
The complaint recites that Pro.
testants, Catholics, and Jews dis
agree, and that "for several centur-
les the said three sects hated and
murdered each other In their con-
troversies over said Bibles, but now
are not allowed by secular law to
murder each other, though the con.
troversies and religious hatreds are
quite as vocal as ever."-Llterary
