Another added:
This parade may have been in
Horthy's honor but it was aimed
at the Czechoslovak military at
tache."
All agreed that the enormous
field guns, so massive that each
required five truck-traller combl-
nations to transport its rifle, 30
man crew and recoil apparatus,
were one of the greatest revolu-
tionary military developments in
years.
The barrels of the guns were at
least 80 feet long.
Hitler, beaming proudly on his
new weapons as he stood at Adj
mirar Horthy's side in a reviewing
stand against the imposing facade
of the Charlottenburg college,
had set the stage well for their
unwilling.
More than $4,000 troops fresh

BANKING LAWS
CHANGE STUDIED

0.N.S.) Major banking legis-
lation may be sponsored by the
Administration at the next session
Of Congress, high Government
finance officials predicted today.
Technical experts of several
Federal agencies, including the
Treasury, Federal Reserve Board
and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation currently are engaged
in studies dealing with number
Of changes In the banking laws.
At the same time, congressional
banking leaders are preparing to
renew their fight for a variety of
proposals affecting operation of
the nations banks.
Among the more important
measures said to be under con-
sideration is one that would give
the Federal Reserve Board ex-
tremely broad powers in supervis-
ing excess reserves of banks.
By raising or lowering the
amount of money banks must hold
in reserve against their deposits,
the board can control in some
measure the excess that is avail
able for the country's credit needs.
Under the 1885 banking act the
board authority to raise or lower
reserve requirements was limited
within inflexible boundaries. It is
the view of a number of officials
that the board should be given
more latitude.

HERE are the facts:

lists were aboard studying trans

ated a strong draft through the

cause of the disaster, but they
have not been able to prove just
how.

G.N.SO.-While European man

moved today to eliminate "a SeH

He called upon a selected group
of ranking Government officials
to devise an immediate program
that would insure this country of
a sustained supply Of electric
power in event Of war.
The President frankly stated
that recent surveys have disclosed
the United States to be extremely
vulnerable in event of invasion be-
cause a forced wartime industry
could be too easily deprived of its
allessential electric energy.

Assistant Secretary of War Louis
