D. {. Bankers Pleased
By Plan 10 Reduce
F. lie. Assessment
All Capital Bankers
Would Benefit by
Crowley Proposal
By HAROLD B, ROGERS,

Washington bankers are pleased
over the proposal by Chairman Leo
T. Crowley, chairman of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp, for a re-
duction in the F. D. I. c. assessment
of one-twelfth of l per cent on in
sured banks.
All Washington banks are insured
under the F. D. I. c. so it would be
a substantial benefit to the banks
here if change downward should
be made III the assessment.
AS one prominent banker here ex-
pressed it, such a proposed reduc-
ton would be a very practical con-
sideration,' especially in view of the
experience of the F. D. I. G.
Chairman Crowley, who appears
about to retire from his public post
to assume full-time work in his new
job as chairman of the Standard
Gas e. Electric Co., has urged a
renewal of private capital invest
ment in banking.
Capital funds of the of the F. D.
I. C. are about s500,000,000 despite
the fact that during the past six
months there have been some Of
the biggest outlays of funds for any
six months since the corporation
started operations in 1884.
with the disbursement of more
than s65,000,o00 to facilitate the
merger of 20 banks during the past
six months" Mr.. Crowley said in
his report, the corporation has
about completed its program for the
rehabilitation of the banks in the
system constituting a substantial
hazard"
Addison Commended.
F. G.. Addison, jr., president OF
Security Savings e. Commercial
Bank, is commended in current
issue of the American Banker for
successful institution of system
of service charges.
Mr.. Addison says he acted on the
theory that the customer will not
object to paying a service charge if
it is made perfectly clear to him
why 1t is being done. The system
uses 'slip-in" card to be sent to its
checking account depositors, which
explains the why's and wherefores
of earnings, deposits, costs of ham
ding checks. and charge. also ex-
ceptions. The slip card, he says, has
produced excellent results

Nv the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 30.-Actual cash
outlay for the defense program dur
ing the current fiscal year is esti-
mated by Standard Statistics Co.
at about $4,000, 900 900.
congress has already appropriated
$4,20o,0 100000 to be spent for mill
tary purposes in this fiscal year
and is expected to set aside an

1t Is not expected, however, that
the total, $1,000, 900 900, will be spent
within the year. Because of in
evitable delays, the cash outlay will
probably be close to $4,000, 600, 900,

be employed as batting practice

suffered due to lack of an ac-
ceptable one.
Jim Gillette, University Of Vir-
ginia first baseman and also
gridiron stalwart, worked out with
Washington yesterday. but failed
to impress the Nat bosses. Bill
Fisher and Benny Steiner, the
Central High pitcher and short
stop, respectively, probably will
be signed by other major league
clubs despite the fact they worked
out with the Mats and were liked
by Griffith and Harris.

denly has attracted favorable at
tention with recent commendable

Hudson, Joe Haynes and Walter
Masterson.
Hudson, who pitched no-hitter
for 51a innings in a relief role
against the Tigers his last time
out, was nominated by Harris to

There's no doubt in my mind"
said Georgetown University's Hap

George Case would have been a

any coaching. I was convinced he
could beat anybody in baseball and
easily.
Right now Case could beat the

could do. I believe he would have
been one of the fastest sprinters
of all time If he had become
trackman instead of a baseball
player.

That, though. is something else,

Cases real speed hasn't been
seen by the baseball public. He
ran so yards for me in 54 seconds
(the world record is SD, but his
greatest speed is in that last so
yards. He tears down the stretch
like a tornado is chasing him."
Case is the fastest member of
baseball's swiftest outf1eld, other
wise comprised of Left Fielder Ger
aid Walker and Center Fielder
Johnny Welaj. BY no stretch of
the imagination the most polished
fielding outfleld in the industry,
that trio nevertheless may rank as
the all-time best in the matter of
picking 'em up and putting EN-
down.
George has stolen 13 bases in 18
attempts this season to lead the
league by a prohibitive margin.
Second to him is Walker, who has
tried to steal on eight occasions
and succeeded seven times. Welaj,
who has seen considerably less serv-
ice than either, has stolen FIVE bases
In seven attempts.
May Finish 1928 in A..
That represents Is stolen bases,
or more than the five fastest men
in the National League have been
able to accumulate. 1t is plausible
that Case, Walker and Welaj will
finish 1928 in American League
base stealing this season, with Third
Baseman Buddy Lewis, who has
stolen four bases in seven tries, a
contender to rank highly in that
respect.
Case, who led both leagues last
season with 81 steals, more than
doubling the total of his nearest
rival, also is threat to pace the
league in runs scored.
Walker, a more daring, reckless
runner, is threatening to stick
among the leaders in the runs batted
in department, while Welaj, really
brilliant fly flagger, is the smoothest
outfielder on the team.
Only Walker is hitting more than
300 at the moment, but the COM
bination of Case, Welaj and Walker
remains the most dangerous base
running outfit in baseball.

MCKINNEY, Tex, June 6.-Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Largent travel 30
900 to $4,000 miles a year looking
for baseball talent to send to the
Chicago White Sox, but they
found Howard Wafer practically
sitting on their front doorstep.
The Mckinney High School
sensation, over a period of three
years, has averaged a dozen
strikeouts and held the opposi-
ton to four hits per game. Mrs.
Largent calls him major league
prospect of the first order.
Wafer still runs the risk of
being mobbed by baseball scouts
because he hasn't signed any,
thing with the White Sox. How
ever, Mrs. Largent intimates a
