URGE BANKERS
TO ATTEND
FARLEY

Emphasizing the Importance OF
cooperation and mutual exchange
of viewpoints, Robert V. Fleming.
president of the American Bank
ers Association and of the Riggs
National Bank, yesterday sent a
communication to all members OF
the association urging their at
tendance at its annual conven-
ton in San Francisco, Septem-
Der 21-24. President Fleming said:
although banking has gone
far along the road of recovery,
one of its major problems still
is to develop it's operations on
lines that will in themselves
create public understanding of
its methods and services. 1t is
my earnest conviction that
such public understanding Of
banking is not only an essen.
tiaI defense against attacks
from whatever source, but is
also requisite to re-establiShing
it upon a firm and satisfactory
basis of profitable operations.
These considerations have been
among the controlling factors
in our plans for the sixty-sec-
ond annual convention of the
American Bankers Association.
81 therefore urge the men,
bership of the American Bank
ers Association to make every
endeavOr so to shape their
plans as to be with us in this
annual common council of the
nations bankers"

 Swinging silver, pick, former Mayor James J. (Jimmy) Walker broke ground for the. sprawling project on October 25, 1929; Actual construction, however, was delayed nearly five years. Virtually nothing had been done when the Triborough Bridge Authority Board, reorganized under Mayor F. H. LaGuardia, call ed Colonel, Loeser to the job in February of 1884.
 Colonel Loeser negotiated the sale of a maximum of $35 100000 in Bridge Authority bonds to the Fed eral Government, got a PWA grant of nearly $9,0O0,00O, began letting contracts and had men at work, by October I, 1884. His associates are O. H. Amann, Chief Engineer, and Col. H. w. Hudson, Construction Engineer.
 The bonds sold to the Federal Government are to be paid off in 20 years from tolls. When paid for, the bridge will be turned over to the city.

In moving into the new Decker quarters, located on Frank lin Street next to the Nugget Shop, MT. Yurman stated that local pat rons are assured of absolutely fire proof and mothproof storage for their garments.
 Arrangements of furs and displays were completed this week. In the modern new show room, MT. Yur- man, can be. jointly. proud of his Fifth Avenue" store, as the walls, floors, lighting effects, and general appearance would fit well into any smart New York setting.

 SHOOTING

Control Cables of Radio System Damaged-Fm-

The matter of shooting along the Glacier Highway is getting to be quite a problem for the local Army radio station. Twice in the past five months and four times during the past year some one has malic- iously or accidently shot through the control cables leading to the receiving station at Mile T.
 When the heavy lead cable is shot into 1t breaks all the smaller pairs of wires inside which are in turn connected to various instruments and equipment, causing a serious mess and entire disruption until the fault is located and fixed.
 Due to the physical makeup ot the heavy cable 1t does not break entirely in two, as a small iror telephone or light line would, and a small bullet hole through it is hard to locate.
 After the break is located it takes

 The public is again asked to CO., operate in this matter by abstaining from shooting across these lines, also all families are asked to in struct and explain to their children the gravity of this situation, as it is believed that most of the diff ficulty lies in younger boys with rifles. It is hardly believed that older persons would deliberately shoot into wires.
 If the situation persists, extreme measures will have to 'be taken and in the meantime the public's attention is invited to that section of the Federal law, which reads ir part as follows:
 Whoever shall willfully or malic- iously injure or destroy any of tht works, property, or material of an, telegraph, telephone or cable line or system, operated or controlled by the United States, whether con structed or in process of construc- tion, or shall willfully or maliciously interfere in any way with the work ing or use of any such line or sys. tenn, or shall willfully or maliciously obstruct, hinder, or delay the trans. mission of any communication ovel any such line or system shall bt fined not more than $1,000 or i'm. prisoned not more than three years or both"

results from those experiments which Q year ago were dumped into the lap of RA and Administrator Rexford c. Tugwell.
 Resettlement's own program of rural resettlement communities is nearly all still in the planning stage. But Tugwell is still serving as goat for the administrators sins in addition to having had the job of untangling hundred or more of those ventures in humanitarianism, which came to him in all stages of progress and frequently in a state of flop.
 Among the original ideas about subsistence homesteads were:
 l. That you could solve peoples problems and make them self-sup- porting by getting them back on the land.
 ?. That you could do 1t by giving them houses.
 3. Or both.
 1. That if you built communities and put people in them, industry would gravitate there to provide part-time employment for those people to supplement income or subsistence from the land. Two Types Planned
 Two general types of homestead were planned. First, communities where penniless farmers and stranded families in former indus trial communities could have homes, land, and farming facilities on a 30- year payment plan plus cash income from part-time industrial employ ment.
 Second, garden homesteads on the fringes of industrial communities where workers could have decent loW-cost housing with an acre or two of land on which to raise their own food and this supplement in comes.
 Most of the second type have turned out fairly well, despite de- lays, red tape, occasional construc- ton mistakes, and other mishaps.
 The grief came where there were no industries to provide employ ment, and industries didn't move in.
 Tugwell now seeks to change what were to be agricultural com- munities by buying more land and establishing cooperatives, providing an adequate base for successful farming instead of the present acreageS which cannot make horne- stead families self-sustaining. 
 Many Mistakes Made
 Many cooks made the subsistence tlomesteads broth, beginning with

Cleveland, O.-Preliminary ar- rangements for radio coverage Of the two national political conven- tions in June were completed here today when radio representatives met with officials of the republican national committee. Similar ar- engagements with the national demo- cratic committee were made in Philadelphia several weeks ago.
 The most elaborate broadcasting schedule in the history of national conventions was virtually completed at meeting between network rep resentative and Chairman Henry P. Fletcher and Vice-Chairman Ralph Williams of the republican national committee. Paul w. White, director of public events for the Columbia Broadcasting System, announced that CBS would have It's control booth located at the side of Cleve- lands huge auditorium, close to the speakers platform. There also will be 8 studio adjacent to the arena where delegates will be meeting. Microphones will also be in position at other points of interest around the convention floor.

Mrs. Roosevelt and the late Louis Howe. Sometimes the houses didn't fit the climate, as with the first ones at Rockville, Va. Other houses were poorly constructed. Tn at least couple of instances slickers un- loaded worthless land on the gov- ernment.
 So many criticisms have been heard as to subsistence homesteads that it's surprising to be told by RA officials that the homestead loans are only 0.4 per cent delin- quent.
 The biggest difference between promise and performance is seen in the cost of certain projects.
 It was announced that the cost of complet2 iToN4cstessNt wuufuf range from $500 to $35o0, with the average cost between $2500 and $3000. The Reedsville project known as Arthurdale, has thus far cost about $10,000 family; Red House, W. Va, $5200; Crossville, Tenn,
