The Federal Reserve Board report
ed last night that commercial, indus
trial and agricultural loans Of
member banks in 10l cities declined
$4,000, 900 in the week ended July ~.
These loans totaled $3,869, ,0O0, 900,
decrease of s556.000,000 since July
%, 1887.
The downward trend was consid-
cred by some officials to have signifi-
canoe in view of the recent statement
of Jesse H. Jones. chairman of the
Reconstruction Corporation, that banks
should release an increasing amount of
cash to private enterprise or the
Government might consider some ac-
ton to meet credit needs.
The trend was reversed in the st.
Louis Federal Reserve District which
reported an increase of s5,000,000 in
such loans for the week.
The Reserve Board reported an in
crease of S3,000,0O0 in real estate

Mountain Standard time. Three
hours, and you have San Fran

Reversely, if you are in San Fran
cisco and wish to know the time

The foregoing calculations are
based on Standard time. Daylight

faster than standard time.

that of the place from which you
start, give it to you in terms Of
your starting time instead of
your arriving time? Why, for in
stance, does a railroad man in
Chicago tell you that you will
reach New York at 8 o'clock (Chi-

get there at 10 o'clock (New York
tme) ? And going the opposite
way, why are you Informed you
will reach Chicago at 10 o'clock
New York time) when you will
actually get there at nine o'clock
Chicago time)?
Rather confusing and ineonven-
fencing if you are telegraphing
someone when to meet you!
Why do not railroad men in
telling passengers their arrival
time, always give it in the kind
of time in effect in the cities in
which they will arrive?

THE victory of Senator Claude
l. Pepper, 100 per cent New

peace of Senator Walter F. George,

had been thinking of running
against George on. a New Deal
platform.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt pointed

George, Rivers is receiving little

W1ASHINGTON.-There is moth

Washington gossips than the STIR
ring up of a factional fight in
some government department.
Not even the White House has
been immune from these rows,
when there have been differences
of opinion among presidential ad-
visers, and now the gossips are
trying to make the most out of the
case of the rest of the Supreme
Court VS.. Justice Black.
New Deal friends of the ex-
senator from Alabama have been
rushing to his defense with favor
able analyses of his. lone-woIf dis
senting opinions, first reported in
this column last February.
Blacks supporters now claim
that recently the Court reversed
a vital 96-year-old opinion in the
Tompkins case, two weeks after
Black had taken the same position
in a one-man dissent. ..

A AMBASSADOR Joe Kennedy
: was a potent conservative in
fiuence in Washington. But he
can't spread his influence across
the Atlantic Ocean. AS Maritime
Commission chairman, Kennedy
emphatically demanded compul-
sorry arbitration in the shipping in
dustry, clashing with Secretary of
Labor Perkins. After Kennedy
went to London Miss Perkins kept
lobbying quietly and the result
was a committee bill providing
special maritime labor board and
dropping the Kennedy plan.
Kennedy was more influential
than any other administration adj
wiser in dissuading the President
from turning earlier to an en-
larged spending program. q.
