$25 ,0O0, ,O0O."
Mr.. Eccles urged Congress to solve
what he termed "a gap in our flnan-
cial mechanism" for meeting credit
needs of small and intermediate
business" He said he seriously
doubted" that proposal for Govern
ment insurance of bank loans to
meet these needs would succeed
unless revised.
Mr.. Eccles referred to the bill OF
Senator Mead, Democrat, of New
York, which would have the r. F. c
insure 80 per cent of loans to small
business, with local banks carrying
the first 10 per cent of losses. He
suggested the bill be revised so that
banks and Government shared any
possible losses on a prorated basis.
Under this bill if there were a
$4,000 loss on a 100000 loan the
bank would have to carry all of it,
Mr.. Eccles said.
The Reserve Board chairman said
the problem was two-fold: Need for
credit to meet short and intermedi-
ate needs of small business whose
paper is at the borderline of bank
able risk" and long term capital
needs for small and intermediate
sized business"
Mr.. Eccles found no fault with
banks, now loaded with funds, in
failing to make these loans. He said
1.-The degree of risk" was such that
banks should quite properly hesi-
tate"
Banks are eager to loan funds
he said, "but first must face their
financial responsibilities"

Dollar DevaIuation
Book Profits Urged
To Aid Little Business
EccIes Outlines
Proposal Before
Senute Committee
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A proposal to use some of the
book profits of dollar devaluation to
provide loans for small and medium
sized businesses was offered today
by Mariner S. Eccles, chairman of
the Federal Reserve Board.
He outlined this proposal to
Senate Banking Subcommittee con-
sidering legislation to authorize the
Government to insure bank loans
to small business firms.
Mr.. Eccles suggested that a new
Government corporation be created
within the framework of the Fed
eral Reserve System, with about
SIP 900 900 capital taken from some
Of the $4,000, 900 900 profit from re-
duction of the gold content of the
dollar.
At the same time, Mr.. Eccles told
Senator's that any one who believed
that any lending devise" for busi-
ness was going to be the primary
motive power in full recovery" was
going to be very disappointed"
This brought from Senator Tobey,
Republican, of New Hampshire a
request that Mr.. Eccles, as chair
man OF the Reserve System, outline
What in your judgment we could
do to bring recovery"
The chairman smiling1y asked to
be excused from replying, because
his views would require too long to
explain and were controversial.
Mr.. Eccles suggested that the
proposed corporation within the Re-
serve System operate directly or
through banks with deposits insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp.
He said that the Treasury had
used about $27,0O0,OO0 of increment
from gold devaluation to set up in
surance of bank deposits and that
another $ll2000,0O0 was available
for the business loan program.
He suggested that the new corpora
ton be given $100,0O0OO0 capital
and power to issue tax-exempt de-
bentures for five times this amount.
OF this, Mr.. Eccles said, $25, 900 600
should be set aside for small business
loans of $500 to $4,000 that would
be completely insured. He explained
that these small loans could be paid
in full on losses, providing no one
loan was greater than 10 per cent
of the loans of this type made by
one bank.
This would make possible a re-
volving fund of $3.50 900 900 for these
special loans Mr.. Eccles said, with

Quakes Not End Of World i,
Scientist Reassures
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28-A series
of temblors shaking the earth's
surface in widely scattered locales
notably in Turkey, Southern Cal
ifornia and South Africa--left DR..
William A. Lynch, Fordham Uni
versity seismologist, without rip
pie of alarm today. One was felt
in Salinas, Calf. this morning but
did no harm.
"It's not the end Of the world
yet" he chuckled, reassuringly. "All
these quakes are entirely independ-
ent. They don't mean that the
earth is breaking up, and it's merely
a coincidence that such severe tenn
blors should strike at the same
time"
DR.. Lynch said quakes occurred
regularly along the earth's major
fault lines and cited the estimate
of Beno Gutenberg, seismologist of
the California Institute of Tech
nology. at Pasadena, that there are
100000 quakes, big and little, every
year.
THE vast majority are never no
ticed," he said, because we have
so few seismograph stations and the
world has so much space that is
unpopulated."

Filling Station Robber
Gets 8-Year Sentence

Walter Jones today was found
guilty of highway robbery and SEN
fenced to eight years in the peni-
tentiary for the assault and robbery
of a 17-year-old Arlington County
(Va) filling station attendant on
November IS.
Eddie Patton, who was indicted
jointly with Jones, was acquitted
by Judge Walter T. Mccarthy of
Arlington Circuit Court.
Attorney Amos c. Crounse moved
to set aside the verdict against
Jones as contrary to law and evi-
dence.
According to testimony at the
trial which continued all day yes
terday and ended at noon today,
Jones assaulted William Nisewander
in front of a filling station on Lee
Highway after the youth had closed
the establishment. Jones was
charged with taking $135 from
Nisewander after the latter alleg-
edly refused to divulge the hiding
place of the key to the filling sta
ton where days receipts were hid
den. The assault allegedly occurred
in Patton's automobile, but Patton
testified he took no part in the beat
ing and made efforts to stop Jones.
Jones and Patton both live in
Arlington and police showed the
court Jones had q previous criminal
record.

By tho Associated Press.

by TIC Associated fTeSS.
LONDON, Dec. 28.-The ministry
of food announced today that ra-
tioing would be extended next
month to meat and sugar. Plans to
ration bacon and butter had been
announced previously.
A sugar ration of II ounces a week
per person will 60 into effect jan
uary 8, the same date that butter
and bacon rationing is to begin.

begin the same day. but the
amounts and date for enforcement
are to be announced later.
Control of livestock and home
produced meat will become effective
January Is.
Weekly rations of butter and ba-
con are to be four ounces each per
person.
Germanys weekly food rations
for the average person are: IL
pounds of meat, 395 ounces of but
ter. 227 ounces of lard, bacon or
tallow, 8.75 ounces of sugar. So
pounds of bread or Al pounds of
bread and 1871 ounces of flour, 4.37
ounces of margarine, 2.18 ounces of

and 3.5 ounces of marmalade.
1t was understood the British
meat rationing scheme would not

tied to beef. mutton, lamb, veal and
pork.
The food minister, w. S. Morrison,
already was the sole buyer of for
eign meat for this country. Before
rationing can begin he must take
control of domestic meat. This will
begin January Is, when he is to
take over $50 slaughter houses and
close the countrys smaller ones.
The government states that the
purpose of rationing is to insure
an even distribution of foodstuffs
and that it does not reflect a Short
age.
