BANK GROUPS MAKE
NATIONWIDE SURVEY
American and State Banking
Associations Collaborate
in Investigation
LOAN SERVICES STUDIED
Activities of the Government in
the Banking Field Are
Reviewed and Position of
Banks Analysed

NEW YORK. Detailed bank re.
searches, covering all phases of prac-
Hcal operating and economic facts and
conditions related to banking, are be-
Ing made by the American Bankers
Association. The resulting material is
being placed at the disposal of all
state banking associations, which In
many instances are extending the re-
searches Of the national association in
their own states. These activities are
said TO be a part of the general pro-
gram OF banking development which
Is being carried on by the organized
banking business.
Among the most extensive re-
searches being conducted by the
american Bankers Association Is
that OF its Committee on Banking
Studies, which is making a detailed
survey OF Federal Government lend
ing agencies and policies. The basic
material, which is kept up to date by
continuing studies, shows where the
Government sgencies get the money
they lend, what liability the Govern
ment assumes, what subsidy II ex-
tends, what return 1t gets, for what
and to whom the money goes and on
what terms it Is loaned.
The Government in Banking
1T Is not the intention of the COM
mittee to express its viewpoint about
any agency" says the foreword to this
material Its intention is only TO de-
termine the facts. These facts prop
erly assembled and presented should
help banks TO meet Government com.
petition II and where il exists. The
committee believes the Government
entered the lending field at a critical
period in order TO aid banks and
financial institutions. If the time has
come for the Government to with
draw, il is the duty of bankers to
demonstrate their readiness TO take
care OF all sound credit needs"
1t adds that the banks must be
equipped with full factual material
as TO the Governments emergency
lending activities and practices, and
that full cooperation has been given
the committee by Government agen-
cies in obtaining facts. Binders of the
material gathered have been placed
by the committee in the hands of
state associations

VIOLATES SPIRIT
OF CONSTITUTION SEN
ATE GROUP SAYS

Continued from Page One)
1T applies force to the judi :
ciary and in it's initial and ulti-
mate effect would undermine
the indendence of the courts.
1T violates all precendents
in the history of our govern
ment and would in itself be a
dangerous precedent for the
future.
THE theory of the bill is in
direct violation of the spirit of
the American constitution and
its employment would permit
alteration of the constitution
without the peoples consent or
approval, it undermines the pro-
lection our constitutional sy
stem gives to minorities and is
subversive of the rights of in
dividuals.
1T tends to centralize the fed
eral district judiciary by the
power of assigning judges from
one district to another at will.

FASHION
BRIDAL GOWNS
:. BY MAE,

Even though June, the month de-
Dictated to blushing brides. is still
some time off, the engaged girl
who expects to be married in early
spring is already wisely taking
notes for her wedding trousseau es-
pecially in the all-important we'd
ding gown.
For such inspiration-seekers,
Mae has designed bridal en-
semble that combines all the neces-
sary romance and beauty with prac-
teal simplicity.
Satin Suitable
This dress is made of damask
taffeta in a rich floral pattern.
While the elegance of this materi-
al distinguishes this particular
dress, its designer suggests that it
could also be made in any of the
dull satins or heavy dull sheers,
for much of the charm of the de-
sign lies in individual touches of
trimming and cut.
Cut is especially important in the
skirt which is made full and sweep
ing by means of graduated cores.
The top of these cores ends in two
inch scallops and are fitted to a
high waistline. The train is wide
and long, and the hem of the entire
skirt is padded so that the taffeta
falls in sculpture folds rather than
being stiff1y bouffant.
Fitted Bodice
The bodice is fitted, with a wide,
slightly off-shoulder neckline, long
close sleeves, and is given an air of
deliciuos occurrences by touches of
shocking on the bodice and sleeves
and a soft tulle tissue that is drap-
ed into the neck. Both shocking
and the fine embroidery on the tulle
tissue, are done in seed pearls and
tiny star sequins.
Equally demure is the veil ar
rangement, the lace-edged veil of
net being worn over "pompadour"
of lilies of the valley. Instead of
brides bouquet, a small cy.indri.
cal muff of massed gardenias, white
rosebuds and lilies of the valley is
carried.
