Expert Tells How

balances is capable Of supporting
about ten dollars Of member bank de-
posits, they constitute basis for a
huge credit expansion. However, a
careful analysis of the situation re-
vcals that. the board of governors Of
the Federal Reserve System has am
pic control over credit expansion. 1t
can. as is well known, raise reserve
requirements by 100 per cent and
thereby wipe out practically all the
surplus balances.
"Such measure however. is not to
be expected because it would raise in
tcrest rates and would make it more
difficult for the treasury to finance
it's current needs. The board also has
the power to limit loans by member
banks for speculative purposes and to
regulate the margin requirements of
brokers for loans on securities. These
powers are more suitable for checking
any speculative expansion of credit
and the board has already taken the
first step by raising brokers margin
requirements. !
HUGE DEPOSITS
The summary continues:
"Of greater Importance, perhaps,
than the surplus balances of the mem
Der banks with the reserve banks, is
the huge increase in the volume of de-
posits in the last few years. AS is
we'll known, this increase in deposits
has been caused chiefly by the pur-
chase of government bonds by the
banks. Since the governments bud
get deficit is still large, new govern
ment obligation swill have to be sold
to the banks and the volume of de-
posts is certain to increase in the
future.
'The expansion of deposits is the
real danger of initiation and since it
has been caused by the deficit of the
government, one may definitely state
that the real danger of initiation in the
United States is the financial situa-
ton of the government which necessi-
tates constant borrowing from the
banks through the sale of securities,
notably equities. Whether or not the
continued increase in the volume of
deposits will result in a runaway in
flation is, of course, difficult to pre-
dict, and will depend, to a large ex-
tent, upon the degree of public con-

Play Tournament Finals
Awards Are Made

Finals Of the one-act play
tournament of the District of
Columbia were held in the audi
forum of the Roosevelt High
School Saturday night. This
tournament is conducted annually
by the Community Center Depart
ment and is work to be highly
commended.
Four plays were presented in
the finals. There was not a wide
divergence of merit in these Of
feringS and the authors, players
and directors in each case may
we'll feel proud of their finished
product.
1.-THE Flattering Word" a light
comedy written by George Kelly,
was voted first choice by the five
judges. Those taking part in this
play were Arthur Rhodes, who
also directed Geraldine Wells,
Patricia Paige, Ethel Selby and
William Hilton.
This play was the entry of the
East Washington Community
Center.
"GIOria Mundi" Second
Second place was awarded
Gloria Mundi," entry of the Jew
ish Community Center Theater.
Patricia Brown was the author
of this work which was directed
bV Morris Arkin.
The play is highly dramatic,
somewhat terrifying and, withal,
calls for considerable hiStrionic
ability to put it over properly.
The players were: Sylvia Selbin,
Esther Lovett, Ethel Gottlieb,
Anna Erich, Sidney Binder and
Arthur WeStover.
Third place went to "Fixins,"
presented by the Langley Lambs.
Author of the piece is Paul Green
and the play was directed by M.
Ferney Reese. 1t is a simple but
powerful and direct document
with a deep under current of
tragedy. The players were: Larry
Lawrence, Paul Taylor and Eliza

BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1896, BY International
News SerYice.l


HOLLYWOOD, Oct. IS Q.N.S0.
Racketeers have devised a new
method to prey upon the gullibility
Of motion picture fans.
Exposure of the system was
made today by Kay Francis, who
is indignant over the manner in
which one of her admirers was
bilked of $25.
The Warner Brothers actress
displayed a jubilant letter from a
Santa Barbara, Calf, woman who
wrote the star she had just paid
this amount for one of the dog
sweaters knitted by Kay.
"Can you imagine the chiSel-
erS picking on a thing like
that?" demanded the star. at
is true 1 have knitted about rs
dog sweaters between scenes on
the set, but 1 gave them all to
friends, and / can account for
every one Of them"
Studio officials point out that
the new racket is a variation on
the old gag Of selling secondhand
furniture to fans at exorbitant
prices on the claim that it once
belonged to a Hollywood celebrity.
A weekend trip to Santa Bar
bara nearly resulted in tragedy
for Astrid Allwyn. blond film &C
tress, and her sister, Ruth Chris
Jefferson, when their car was
struck by landslide on the Roose-
welt Highway, north of Ventura.
Neither of the girls was hurt,
but the automobile was badly dam
aged.
According to Miss Allwyn, who
has reported for work in the Shir-
ley Temple picture, "Stowaway,"
the slide struck the car and pushed
it across the highway. Window
glass was broken and fell into
the front seat, but the girls were
not cut.
Emerging shakily, they found a
bank of dirt and rocks piled up
against one side Of the car.
Had the force of the slide showed
them a little farther, the actress
said, they might have gone over
a cliff.
Filmdom is trying to figure out
whether it is all a joke, or whether

Taylor are actually going to stage

white Horse Inn" employs hun

LOBBY is AN ANNEX
But watched it Saturday night
without ever once becoming fasci-
mated or even interested in the
stodgy book Of the operetta, and
it struck me that white Horse
Inn" must have lost some of the
intimate quality that made it such
a rousing success abroad. The
stage is filled again and again
with colorful action but the
comedians struggle futilely for
about three hours trying to trans
form flat lines into belly laughs.
Never have I seen William Gax-
ton so completely destitute of
bright material and, despite his
energetic arm waving and painful
alertneSs, he must resign top
laughing honors to a fat Falstaff
from burlesque, one Billy House,
also neglected in the script, but
saving himself by a couple OF
interpolated political quips.

Home Shots Of
Candidate

Hearst Metrotone News today
presents the first intimate glimpse
of President Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Landon at home as they
snatch a few moments from the
arduous duties of the campaign.
On one point both candidates
agree: There's no place like
home.
At Hyde Park, the President IS
shown reading his mail, glancing
at his stamp album, taking a ride
with his grandchildren over his
estate and chatting with his
mother, Mrs. James Roosevelt.
In Topeka, Governor Landon
is seen giving swinging lesson
to his small children, Nancy
Josephine and John Cobb, while
Mrs. Landon and Peggy Ann offer
smiling advice. Inside the Ian
don home, the nominee and his
loved ones gather about the fire
side for a typical American family
portrait.
In another OF It's interesting
interviews, Hearst M etrotone
brings to the screen two of the
leading contenders in the $500, 900
Toronto Stork Derby.
To the vivid comment of the
Glob Trotter, new gridiron thrills
are filmed. The passing game
becomes a special art as Tulane
is shown routing Colgate to the
tune of % to 6.
There are snapshots of a dough-
nut dunking race on New York's
East Side with Jack Pearl, coined
ian, as guest Of honor.
The current issue Of Hearst
Metrotone News may be seen at
Loew'S Palace, Tivoli, Ambassador,
Colony. York, Strand, Criterion
and Roosevelt, among other the
aters.
