EDITOR TALKS
Summer School Hears
Father Doubling

Lecturing on student govern
ment, the Rev. Edward Bowling,
s. j., associate editor of THE
Queens Worker" and organizer Of
the Sodality Of Our Lady, was the
principal speaker at today's ses-
sion of the Summer School of
Catholic Action in the Washing
ton Hotel.
Father Bowling spoke on the
Sodality as a training in democracy
and described the democratic ele-
ment in student societies. The
school sessions are scheduled to
close tomorrow.
Giving the District the right and
responsibility of the vote was ad-
vocated at yesterdays session by
Miss Dorothy ]. Willmann, execu-
tive secretary for parish societies
and a director of the Sodality
Union News.
She said thousands of persons
who come here to work for the
Government assume "snooty" at
titude toward a ballot for the Dis
trict. She added the longer they
stay here, the further their civic
responsibility slips from them.

U. S, IN SEARCH
FOR new Way to-
LOOSEN CREDIT
Figures Show Banks Still
Cling to Idle Millions

0N.S) Government fiscal ad-
visers today searched for a new
method of easing the nations
credit situation following the set
back sustained by the Administra-
ton in its campaign to "unfreeze"
money when Treasury figures re-
vealed q shrinkage Of 100000, 900
in bank loans and discounts over
q three-month period.
TIGHTER CREDIT SEEN
Acting Comptroller Of the Cur
rency Diggs, in reporting total
assets of the 5,248 national banks
on June 80 as 30,387, 082, 900,
disclosed that bank loans and dis
counts totalled $8,334,624, 900, as
compared with 1881, $3.50, 900 on
March Z and 1882, 1896, 900 on
June 80, 1887.
Total assets increased 1858 $780,
900 over the March Z report, when
eight more banks reported, and
$50 ,O11 900 over the amount re-
ported by $500 banks on June 30,
1887.
PLAN FRUITLESS
On April IA the Treasury de-
sterilezed $1,400, 100000 in gold,
which was to be introduced into
the credit stream through Federal
Reserve System member banks. At
the same time, the required re-
serves of the banks were reduced.
Apparently, however, the plan
has not born much fruit, for on
August 3 excess reserves stood at
81, 920, 000, 00O-w ich indicated
that on that date the banks had
not materially increased their
loans. Today's figures as released
by Diggs confirmed that mdica-
ton.

GREAT INCREASE.
IN D. C. LIBRARY.
BUDGET SOUGHT
Funds Also Asked For
Juvenile Court

To provide for increased service
to Washington's book lovers,
George F. Bowerman, public libra
rian. today asked the District
Commissioners to approve
budget of $1,3S6,751. Congress
appropriated $593,27O for the
library expenditures in 1887.
Bowerman asked first for SAIL
GIT for personnel expenses. For
the 1887 year, this bill was 1884,
300. To meet the growth of the
present service, Bowerman told
the Commissioners, $37, $50 a year
was needed for Is library assist
ants, two junior messengers, four
clerical aides and four mainte-
nance men.
AID FOR REFORMATORY
He also asked that facilities at
Lorton RefoTrnatory be made
ready speedily in order that the
books may be put into immediate
circulation.
Headlining the Bowerman de-
mandS was an item for 100000
for beginning construction Of a
new $3,500,00C library building on
Pennsylvania Avenue N. W., be.
tween Fourth and Sixth Streets.
The librarian explained:
IAN effort will be made to Sc
cure a PWA allotment for the
building. If that fails, an initial
appropriation should be made
for starting the construction in
the fiscal year 1940."
FOR JUVENILE COURT
Additional funds also were
sought for Juvenile Court. Judge
Fay Bentley estimated she would
need $126,740 for the 1910 fiscal
year. This would be an increase
of 81 per cent over the $104,570
appropriated for 1899.
Judge Bentley told the Commits
sioners the work of the court has
become one and a half times
more than it was scarcely two
months ago when Congress
amended the court bill to make
the Juvenile Court a court of
record.
1.-THE enormity of the burden
Is Indicated" she said, "by the
fact that in that short time
more than 900 children's cases
have passed through the intake
office of the court"

murder because Yagoda threat
ened to annihilate his family, the
doctor said.
Yagoda wormed his way into
his confidence, Levin declared,
with gifts of flowers, costly
French wines and a palatial coun-
try estate while he was Gorky'S
attending physician. The doctor,
one Of 81 alleged anti-Stalinists
on trial for their lives, told the
most fantastic story yet unfolded
in this almost unbelievable
witches labyrinth of conspiracy.
The Stocky, white-haired doctor,
spoke in flat, Unconditional tones
as he confessed
"Yagoda was most friendly to
me. He displayed the greatest
attention. But I saw nothing
unusual in it. I was flattered.
SENA l. HIM WINE
"He would send me French
wines and splendid flowers. He
presented me with a country
home. But I took it all for
granted since was the chief
Kremlin physician"
The confession was followed by
an outburst from Yagoda himself,
who caused a sensation in the
courtroom by repudiating part c.
his former confession.
Yagoda denied he had given or
ders for the murders of Vyache-
slav MenzinSky, former secret po-
lice chief, and M. PeShkov, but ad-
mitted he had ordered the deaths
Of Gorky and M. JubiShev.
Before Yagoda began to testify,
Levin said he first met Yagoda in
1920 but rarely saw him until
1923, when Gorky came to Moscow,
aSsertedly suffering from tubercu-
loSis. He had lived in Italy since
his youth, coming to Moscow only
during the summer.
