Durant Will Appeal Ban
On His Grain Trading
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 20.-Counsel
for William C. Durant said today
the former president of General
Motors Corp. would appeal to the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals from an order signed Monday
by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
barring him from trading in the
Country's grain markets.
Mr.. Duran't attorney, Jacob Cru
ber, said an appeal also would be
made in behalf of Mrs. Durant, Gle
ment B. Johnson and H. W. Arm
strong &, Co., the grain brokerage
house in which Mrs. Durant and
Mr. johnson are partners.
Joseph Buchalter, statistician,
whose grain trading plan was criti-
Cized by the Commodity Exchange
Commission and who also was bar
red, did not indicate whether he
would join in the appeal.
Mr.. Buchalter and his associates
were charged with defrauding GUS
toners "by the manner in which
they promoted and operated a
scheme sometimes called the Buch-
alter plan of trading" The COM
plant was aired before the c. E. A.
last Spring.
Mr.. Gruber said the Durant appeal
would be on the ground that the
Secretary of Agriculture's order was
based on assumptions not supported
by any testimony in the record. He
said he would charge errors in the
introduction of evidence, notably
that the c. E. A. failed to give the
defendants a bill of particulars and
that the case was conducted in a
manner contrary to the law which
created the commission.

Fifth District Bankers
Tackle Bond Problems
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, March 90
Bankers from five States and the
District of Columbia went to
School, here today to hear the
opinions of experts on bond invest
ment problems.
DR.. E. A. Kincaid, consulting econ
omist of the Fifth Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond, in the keynote
talk opening the two-day confer
ence, said banks were confronted
with the absence of substantial
demand for good loans in relation
to the growing volume of deposits"
and must find good bonds in which
to invest their money"
This problem, he said, like many
others was a heritage of the World
War, which had fostered disequi-
librium, brought on depression,
made reform" and change the order
of the day, and, since change means
risk, impaired the spirit of conf
dence which is so essential to the
functioning of initiative in enter
prise. and hence the use of bank
credit
The conference was attended by
bankers from Virginia, West Vir-
ginia. North and South Carolina,
Maryland and the District of Co.
lumbia.
