In an analysis of the banking situa-
tion in Washington, Audley A. P. Saw
age. auditor of the National Savings
& Trust Co.. announced today that

aggregated s306,858,34576 on the date
of the Controllers call, June 80. 1888.

of March 7.
With one exception. every national
bank in the city reported lower de-
posits at the end of June than in
March, the decrease amounting to
$22,056,678.48 for these banks. Every
one of the five trust companies also

slump totaled only s7oo8,S25.9O.
Five of the eight savings banks,
however. reported gains. the aggregate
figure standing at s40O25228 The
Morris Plan Bank reported the larg-
est increase among the savings banks,
noting larger deposits than in March
and the Second National Bank was
the institution with national char
ter that experienced an increase
during the three months.

find deposits back about where they
were in the middle of June. Most of
the funds which were shifted into tax
exempt securities in June are now
back in the banks, officials report.
The switching of funds around the
intangible tax date this year reached
the largest proportions on record,
bankers say.
According to Mr. Savages analysis,
deposits in the banks on June 80 were
just little below deposits on the same
date year ago. when they stood at
S308,805, ,88l07 and much below the
$322,651 1855 total six months ago. The

0NS) Senator McCarran CD
0f Nevada said today he will
move to increase the Commerce
Department appropriations bill to
provide for more air safety aids in
the mountain States.
Sponsor Of a biK which would
consolidate Federal regulation OF
commercial aviation under a Bu.
reau of Aviation, McCaran
stressed the need of additional
safety devices in the Far West.
"The danger is In the noun
tain States" he said. "While
I would not deny other regions
the fullest protection through
lighted airways and radio beams,
it seems to me that renewed at.
tention should be given to the
Far West, where three accidents
have claimed 38 lives in scarcely
more than three months"
McCarran said he would confer
with Department Of Commerce Of
ficisls concerning the amount Of
money needed to place additional
safety devices on the Western
routes.

ID. C. HEADS ACT
TO ALLOW FIGHT
FILMS IN CAPITAL
Welfare Shift FroWned
On by Commissioners

The District Commissioners to-
day started the ball rolling toward
the long.advocated legalization Of
showing prize fight films in the
District of Columbia.
Corporation Counsel Elwood H.
Seal has been instructed by the
city heads to draft a bill accom-
plishing this purpose. Although
shown IN nearby States, fight films
have been banned from the Capital
by a Federal law enacted 26 years
ago.
An unfavorable report on the
bill sponsored by Representative
Reuben Wood CD, Missouri, and
now pending in the House for re-
Organization Of the Board of Pub
lie welfare was ordered by the
Commissioners.
The bill provides for replace
ment of the present unpaid nine
man board and paid director and
assistant director, with a paid
board Of three members and q
paid secretary.
An amendment to the liquor act
reducing fee paid by railroads and
steamboats, for diner and lounge
liquor service was ordered drafted.
The amendment would provide Q
fee Of 500 annually for each COM
pany and $40 for each car or boat
on which liquor is sold. The
present car or boat rate is $40.

delivered italian trade treaty
because it involved Ethiopian
recognition. This has been de-
MED officially and may not be
technically true, but 1t GER
tainly indicates accurately what
Hull thinks about Ethiopian
recognition.
Note-Also there Is some
question of the fact of Musso-
lini's Ethiopian conquest. While
no information, except what
Mussolini wants to present, is
permitted to get out Of Ethio-
pia, there is reason to believe
civil courts have not yet been
generally reestablished there,
and the occupied country is
not completely subdued.
QUIET but complete arrange
ID ments have been made in
the Senate for handling the
House tax bill with scissors.
Finance Chairman Pat Harrison
started to work the day the
House bill was announced He
is an expert at making conces-
sions to get bills through IN q
hurry. Most major controversies
are expected to be cut in COM
mittee, so floor Shearing will not
take long. AS advertised, the
third sledgehammer is to be
eliminated and the capital gains
provisions further moderated.
ONE unannounced conclusion
" on the next tax bill is &C
cepted by all. The proposed new
law does not simplify taxes but
adds complications.
Veteran and able legislative
tax counselor, Middleton Bea-
man, told the House Ways and
Means Committee simplification
of taxes is impossible. Commit
teeman Cooper, long an advocate
of simplification, says the reason
is that business itself is not
simple.
Some large corporations make
100 different tax returns during
a year to Federal, State and
local taxing agencies. No one
weeps for them. They have the
legal and accounting facilities.
The one who is really hurt is
the small business man.

new RAIL RATE.
RETURN IS CUT.
BY EXEMPTIONS
10 Pct. Boost Really
Only 4.8 Pct.

uN.S.) Experts of the Bureau
Of Railway Economics, the stats
tical division of the Association
of American Railroads. after a
preliminary survey of the Inter
state Commerce Commission deci-
sion in the rate case, today esti-
mated the net increase in the
rates would not total more than
4.S per cent.
On this basis the railroads
would earn about $3.50, ,OOO, 900 in
additional revenue. Adding the
$4,000, 900 increase granted last
October gives the roads additional
annual revenue Of $220, ,000,0 900.
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion experts estimated the In
crease allowed by the ICC would
not amount to more than 8h per
cent.
This estimate was reached on
the basis of the commissions de-
cision granting a 10 per cent in
crease in rates, but exempting a
long list of specific commodities.
These include bituminous coal,
Ignite, coke, iron ore, fresh milk
and cream. It also specifically
forbade the railroads to increase
any charge for protective services.
FARLEY PLANNED
Immediately after the commits
sion announced its decision yes
terday, President Roosevelt said
he would assemble q conference of
Government officials, congress
sional leaders and representatives
of the railroads and railroad work
ers early next week to consider
the railroad problem, particularly
its financial phase.
In its decision the commission
held that the railroads, in making
any of the increases, must allow
for any increases granted last fall
in the general commodities case or
in the tranScontinental rate case.
"The record shows" the COM
mission said, that the existing
basis of rates is not sufficient
to maintain in full vigor either
rail or water transportation.
DETRIMENT SEEN
"An increase of is per cent
generally, however, is for a
larger amount than is reason
ably necessary to meet the pur-
poses of the increase and will
be such a deterrent to traffic
as to stifle movement"
Referring to the partial in
creases granted a few months
ago, the commission said:
These increases were permit
ted because of a general finan-
cial, economic and traffic situa.
ton which is one with that now
prevalent, modified only in the
degree Of its intensity and by
the interjection of some new ele-
mentS and the elimination Of
others. The amount of added
revenue realized by increases
made effective during the pro-
cesses last cited was very sub.
Stantial.

NEW YORK, March 9 GN.S).
Richard whitney, former presi-
dent and still a governor Of the
New York Stock Exchange, today
was expected to agree to question
ing by the assistant states at
ltorney general as Federal and
State probes into his stock deals
were pushed by authorities.
Public hearings by the state at
ltorney generals office were to
open today under the State Secu-
rites Exchange Commission. Fed
eral regulatory body, opened a
private investigation into the
crash of the top-flight brokerage
house.
In addition, whitney soon must
answer to the exchange board OF
governors on charges Of violating
the code of business ethics.
WHITNEY UNAVAILABLE
The investigations were
Launched after the Whitney firm,
one of Americas biggest broker
age houses, announced bank
ruptcy. So far, Whitney has re-
mained inaccessible to subpoena
servers and has offered no state
ment.
His firm was quickly suspended
from the stock exchange for in
solvency. Stunned by the news,
Wall Street today was still trying
to penetrate the mystery sur
rounding the company's sudden
failure, officially admitted in a
voluntary bankruptcy petition filed
in Federal Court.

Whitney has long been active

treaty are to be held in
the Smithsonian Institution
amongst the fossils. Another
will be conducted in a large
hotel ballroom, probably with
out an orchestra. The third
and fourth parts are slated for
the Commerce and State De-
partments.
These settings were not Sc
lected for background, but will
furnish an accurate one. About
800 business men are to be
heard in protest against prob
able tariff reductions on their
products 1argely textiles and
farm materials). Another 100
are to plead for concessions.
After they are waltzed around
the ballroom and permitted to
view the active fossils in the
State Department as we'll as the
inactive ones in the Smithso-
nian, the treaty will be pro-
claimed undoubtedly on the
basis of private understanding
which already has been reached
between the two governments.
But you may safely wager the
proclamation will not be issued
until Congress has adjourned.
That will be at least three
months hence. Authorities will
hardly be unwiSe enough to
throw such a general tariff re-
vision as a live topic to the
wolves in the Senate and House.
Note-The British agreement
in itself, of course, will not con-
stitute a general tariff reduc-
ton, but II other treaties have
now been concluded, and each
applies to all SignatorieS. So
If you add the broad scope OF
the British to the II now in
effect, you will have a virtually
complete abolition Of the old
law.
THE Eden Chamberlain split
l. may turn out to be more
serious from an American
standpoint than is generally be-
ueved.
The official text of the par.
liamentary debates arriving
here caused apprehensions on
high. Mr.. Chamberlain is shown
therein to have indicated frank
ly his purposes in renewing con-
versationS with Italy.
He is thinking about trading
off British recognition Of Mus
solini's Ethiopian conquest for
withdrawal of the 80, 900 to 100,-
900 Italian troops still in Spain
(not disclosing what else Brit.
ain would get out of it except
this appearance of temporary
peace.
Now nothing can be said here
officially. Strictly speaking it Is
Mr.. Chamberlain's business. But
there are ways of letting him
know authoritatively that Wash
ington could consider recogni-
ton of Ethiopia a breach OF the
Anglo-American front. These
ways have been taken, quietly.
TTHIOPIA is not what author1-
II ties here are worrying about,
but rather the effect of Cham
berlain's realism" on the Far
East. If the democracies are to
recognize Mussolini's conquest
they will have little excuse to
refrain from recognizing the
Japanese conquest of Man
chukuo and China.
Thus the realistic" accept
ance of an Italian-Ethiopian
fact may in reality become
shattering of the last feeble
democratic resistance to die
tatorS and aggression.
