BANKERS HAVE
RECORD FUNDS.
FOR LENDING.
Production, Business Up.
swing Accompanied by
New Financing

HOUSTON, Texas, Nov. 18.-
(UP)-The American Bankers as
ISOLATION yesterday reported in
creased business and industrial ac-
tivity during recent months and
said that record funds were avail
able in the nations banks for
lending. -.
The report was made in resolu-
tons adopted at the final session
of the associations Gath annual
convention which began Tuesday.
Highly controversial subjects
were avoided in the report, al
though attacks on the Roosevelt
administration, federal competi-
ton with business, politics in re-
lief, handling of social security
funds, taxation and political and
religious intolerance had featured
speeches before the convention.
The association reiterated its
plea for a balanced budget and
condemned branch or chain bank
ing. an issue on which bankers
generally are divided. Chairman
A. l.. Lathrop, of the resolutions
committee. made the report to the
64th annual convention.
Noting increased business actiy-
ity and volume of industrial pro-
duction aka the upward trendsef
markets prices of bonds and
stocks, the association said there
had been a corresponding increase
of employment and totals of new
financing through capital issues
and securities.
Banks everywhere are particu-
larly gratifed not only at these
signs of business recovery but at
the fact that American banking
has passed through the recent pc
riod of business depression with
almost entire immunity from its
hazards" the report said.
Bank deposits have continued
to increase, interest rates on loans
to customers have remained steady
and bank losses on loans have
been few and unimportant."
The report said that the nations
banks had served their communi-
ties we'll during the past year and
were prepared to expand their SER
vices "in the better one which we
believe lies ahead" 49,
Urging improved relations with
the public, the report said:
american bankers have never
before had such large volumes OF
funds available for lending as they
have now and they have never be-
fore been more eager to make
loans.
"They are serving their Gus
toners and communities with in
creasing flexibility and effective
ness" it continued, "and stand
ready to continue to do so in this
period of business expansion.
GAS these trends and conditions
develop there will be progressive
| " diminishing justification for the
! expansion Of loans by government
tai agencies"
The association also went on
record as opposing chartering of
new banks and called on it's men,
bers to oppose any political or
other pressure for founding of
new banking institutions.
Restriction of branch banking
within state lines was endorsed.
In connection with tax levies,
the committee report said "they
shall be so devised and admins

Mrs. Gene Wright Kills One Of
Biggest Bucks Taken in Pisgah
Passes Up Six Deer to Bag
Choice 195-Pound
8-Point Buck

The desire of a Henderson coun-
ty huntress to kill big buck was
rewarded last Saturday morning
when Mrs. Gene Wright, who lives
near Davis Station, just west OF
Hendersonville, bagged a 195-
pound eight-point buck in the Pink
Bed section of Pisgah National
Forest.
The kill was a reward for the
patience of Mrs. Wright, who on
two previous days had several
chances to kill does, but held her
fire in the hope of getting a buck.
Previously skeptical over the
thrill of killing a big deer, Mrs.
Wright admits that she got a ire
mendous thrill on finding that she
had killed one of the largest bucks
ever brought down in the Pisgah
Forest hunts, held for the past
several years.
"My heart beat so fast and
loud" she said, chat ! thought
deer were running all over the
mountain"
Equally as enthusiastic over the
kill was Mr.. Wright, who Is con-
nected with Shipman Motor Co.,
and was hunting in the forest at
the same time.
KILL is THE LARGEST
BY PARTY OF FOUR
Mr.. and Mrs. Wright were mem
hers of a party Of four, the others s
being Mr.. and Mrs. John Ben
Houston. and all members OF the
party brought out a deer. now
ever. the kill made by Mrs. Wright
was the largest of the party. ,
Mrs. Wright hunted on last
Thursday. Friday and Saturday,
In the Pisgah hunt, each hunter
is allowed three days hunting ana
one kill. On the first two days
Mrs. Wright hunted with her nus
band and saw six deer. Her nus
band urged her to take a snot, DuC
she was waiting for big PUCK.
On the third morning, she oe-
cided to hunt alone and took a
course into the mountains toward
Green Knob. The going was hare
and she was forced to pull herself
up the mountain by small trees on
the slope. On arriving at the top
of the mountain, she heard a
noise, dropped to her knee, aha
fired when the deer came in sight.
The shot was made with a 25-ca!l-
bre high powered rifle at dis

FIGHT ON HOUSING
COSTS IS URGED
Report Given Architects
Institute Voices Fear of
Acute Shortage.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS, April ga cost
jam is blocking building recovery, the
Housing Committee of the American
Institute of Architects declared in a
report to the SEVENTEEN meeting Of
the institute here.
The Housing Committee called upon
industry to develop new inventions,
new methods of manufacture and
new means Of distributing housing
materials to reduce the cost of build
ing homes. The committee. of which
Walter r. Mccormack of Cleveland
is chairman, pointed out that high
costs have made it impossible to sup
ply houses for families with incomes
OF $50 a week or less, except by sub
sidy, although automobile manufac-
turers have been able to sell two
thirds of the American cars to this
income class.
In other words, housing is in di-
rect competition with the automobile,
the radio and all other improvements
which have been invented and sold
to the American public by advertis-
ing" the report declared. The COM
mittee suggests the possibility Of in
dustry attempting to find new meth
DDS of manufacture, new inventions
or new methods OF distribution where
by the ultimate cost to the consumer
may be materially reduced. Unless
the cost jam is broken the building
industry will not be able to compete
successfully with those other indus
tries that have been able to reduce
cost and increase quality"
Acute Shortage Feared.
An acute housing shortage will en-
sue if costs are not cut drastically,
according to the committee, which
announced that after three years of
housing studies it had organized for
action" The committee framed a
program in which the Government,

Check Roofs for Damage.

Before the season gets any further
under way, 1t is good idea to check
on your sheet metal or asphalt roof

been doing to It. For protection
against water seepage and corrosion
there is bituminow- coating OBJ
tainable at comparatively low cost.
This coating Is really thick asphalt
paint, sometimes mixed with flbrous

Berlin Angered Over
Appeal and Warning
of British About Mid

London, Aug. 29.-(AP)-The Bri-
fish ambassador to Germany, Sir
Neville Henderson, handed to Premier
Chamberlain today a personal report
on Berlin's present attitude and in
tentions in the increasing dangerous
Czechoslovak minority's dispute.
The ambassadors sudden return to
London and a summons to cabinet
ministers to meet Tuesday were fore
most in the crescenda of events over
the weekend These steps were keyed
to the fear that conflict anywhere
may be conflict everywhere" as the
Times put it, and to the British policy
to contribute to control of events be-
fore they take charge of us"
The tone of Sir Neville's report to-
day to the prime minister; to Wis
count Halifax, the foreign secretary;
and to Sir John Simmond, chancel-
lor of the cxchequer, may determine
whether the cabinet ministers tomor-
row shall decide some action is necs-
Sary.
Officials in Berlin privately already
have shown dislike for Sir Johns
speech Saturday, warning that con-
flict might be limited at the start
but could spread like fire in a high
wind" Berlin disliked equally fore
ign office statement appealing to "all
quarters" to avoid anything which
might "heighten the tension" Ger
man political circles saw this as a
spur to Czechoslovakia to resist her

for autonomy.

Men Trapped
By Hurricane
Seen From Air

Brownsville, Tex, Aug. 29-(AP>--
A Fan-American Air Line pilot radioed
here today he had sighted two auto
mobiles and several men on Fort Pass
off the Mexican coast, near where ten
texans were marooned yesterday by
a hurricane. The men were running
around the island waving sheets. the
pilot said. The plane continued on to
Tampico without making an attempt
to land. The pilot did not mention
the number of men sighted.
Pilot Less Mauldin, aviator, plan
red to take off after lInch for the
sand dune area in search Of the miss
ing men.
The Texans went fishing Friday and
are believed marooned on low islands
that were almost directly in the pata
of the gale.
High tides pushed up by hurricane
winds rolled over portions of the sand
dunes off the Texas coast, leading to
belief the islands, six miles off the
Texas coast, were hard hit.
