MORRIS BANK
DENIED LEASE

Justice Jennings Bailey, sitting
in the United States District Court,
today made a ruling that, in ef-
feet, prevents the Morris Plan
Bank from leasing the old Com
mercial National Bank building at
Fourteenth and G Streets North
west. .
The juriSt's decision was the
first intimation that the Morris
Plan Bank wished to establish new
quarters here. The ruling left the
way open for the bank to continue
legal action to secure the lease.
The case arose when the re-
ceiver for the Commercial National
Bank, which has been closed for
several years, petitioned the court
for permission to lease the Com
mercial National Bank building for
20 years.
In dismiSsing the petition with
out prejudice" thus providing a
means for further negotiations,
Justice Bailey in a short memo
randum, declared the reason for
his action was the existence of
minor technical deficiencies. He
said the petition lacked "affidavitS
of experts to the effect that the
terms Of the lease were reasonable
and provided a fair return"
The proposed lease provided the
rental for 20 years would be $372,-
500, payable in monthly install
mentS.

There isn't any doubt about

INQUIRY FAVORED
Borah said he thought the House
should reopen its investigation OF
subversive activity in this country
by foreign countries, and focus
attention on the growth Of the
Nad movement in this country.
The House this spring declined
to continue the investigation when
an attempt to renew it was made
by Chairman Dickstetn Of the
House immigration COMMITTEES
and Representative Dies Cd Of
Texas.
Borah charged the movement
here is being financed abroad.

supported and encouraged by
the Nszis in Germany" Borah
said.
SERIOUS, HE SAYS
"That, in my npinion, is the
most serious phase Of it.
what might be done on mere
local initiative would be one
thing, but to haN. these local
organizations supported from
abroad is another and more
serious thing"

Chairman McReynolds, Democrat,
of Tennessee of the House Foreign Al

q conference for reduction in naval
ornaments If there was any chance
for success.
"The world is going wild on the
question of ornaments" he said after
the House passed the second largest

McReynolds said he would ask the
State Department for its views on q
resolution Of Representative Knutson,
Republican, of Minnesota requesting
the President to consider inviting
Great Britain. Germany, France, Italy,
Russia and Japan to a naval parley.
Knutson introduced the resolution
yesterday after the House turned down,
81 to 66, similar proposal offered as
an amendment to the $526,555. .428

Carrying $130,000,000 for warship
construction and $29, 10000 for pur-
