Superintendent Of
Banks in Office

SACRAMENTO, March s. (UP)-
Edward j. Murphy, until last night
deputy bank superintendent, today
assumed the title of acting state SUI

appointment.
The law provides that the deputy
banking chief automatically steps
up to the top office in event no ap-
pointment is made within 80 days
of the Superintendents death. The
recent death of E. w. Wilson caused
this statute to go into effect.

Census Chief a Quiet Man
Till Certain Topic Is Mentioned
He Is Very Emphatic
On Secrecy Of
Dutu Collected
BY EDDY GILMORE,


Meet the man whose men you're
going to meet pretty soon-W. L.
Austin, director of the census.
He started out to be a doctor, and
If he hadn't taken clerkship in the
Census Bureau 40 years ago, he
might now be asking such ques-
tions as:
'How are you today, my friend?
Tell me just where it hurts and
whether you've been getting enough
sleep lately"
Mr.. Austin, of course, doesn't ask
q single question in the census
taking, but he directs 10000 people
who will pound on the front doors
of millions of American homes be-
ginning April 2.
Counting 130, 900 persons is q
big job, he says, and although this
is his first shot at directing it. he
isn't jittery-he knows it has been
done before.
Mr.. Austin Is a middle -sized, gray
haired man with glasses who has q
soft voice and friendly eyes. His
conversation is slow and we'll
modulated until you mention that
some Senators are afraid the In
formation given to the census takers
will not be confidential.
Then Mr.. Austin's thin, straight
lips tighten.
THAT information" he says, "is
very, very confidential. Why, We
wouldn't give even one word Of 1t
even to the Justice Department.

fare group after considerable dis
cussion referred the two suggested
measures to the council board,
which is expected to take them up

sided.

The bill dealing with child place.
ment would require a license to be

Court Approves
Park Savings
Bank Report
Moran Will Prepare
Plan for Dividend to
5000 Depositors

The report Of Special Master
James c. Wilkes in the Park sav.
ings Bank case was approved yes
terday in District Court by Justice
F. Dickinson Let's, but Distributing
Agent John F. Moran will have to
prepare q distribution schedule for
court approval, showing the per-
centage of dividend to be paid to
some 5000 depositors.
Costs Of the litigation, as set
forth In Mr.. Wilkes report, will
have to be deducted from the $780,
600 fund now available, which Is
part of 100000 the directors Of
the defunct bank put up to settle
lawsuits against them. The 5000
depositors scheduled to benefit at
an early date were those who had
money in the Park Savings Bank
when the Alabama charter, under
which it operated, expired on
August 80, 1929.
Will Distribute $4,000.
Officials estimated that some
1922 900 will be distributed, prob
ably in the spring, after District
Court approves the percentage of
what dividend is coming to each
depositor, after costs are deducted.
These costs include lawyers fees,
auditors fees and court expenses.
Justice Let's in his order "ap-
proved, confirmed and adopted" the
report Of Special Master Wilkes.
He ordered that Disbursing Agent
Moran pay from the funds in hand
the amounts allowed for services,
expenses and costs of the suit. He
was directed by the order to prepare
and submit to District Court for
approval a schedule of pro rata
distribution to the persons named
in the schedules of allowed ac-
counts, filed with the Wilkes report.
This money will come out of the
| balance remaining of the $350,000
fund, after deducting costs and ex-
penses.
Only One Protest Made.
Justice Let's, yesterday morning
in Motions Court, heard only one
verbal protest to ratification of
the Wilkes report, when he called
for objectors to come forward. Re-
spending was Mrs. Cora G. Wind
muller, 3165 Eighteenth street NV,
teacher at the Alice Deal Junior
High School, who contended that
the Depositors' Committee should
not be paid anything for their serv-
ices, because there was no such
agreement.
Under the report Of Mr.. Wilkes,
Joseph w. Thompson, chairman Of
the Depositors' Committee, would
receive 81 500 as compensation, while
four other members, Robert H.
Young, c. c. Hines. William j.
Neale and John c. Drake, would
each get 1850. Mrs. Windmuller as
serted

Pedestrian Walk Lights
Al Circle Not Ready

Pedestrian traffic lights at the
new Thomas Circle grade separa-
ton which were to have been turned
on tomorrow morning, will be de-
layed, it was learned today, because
OF needed adjustments.
Vehicular traffic lights on the
surface have been operating since
opening of the new underpass
Thursday morning, but the pedes-
trian walk lights have not yet been
turned on. Some time next week,
the walk lights will be started, it
was said
The underpass itself apparently
handles the peak traffic in the
morning better than in the evening.
CONSTRUCTION of the traffic arteries
from four lanes westward at Thomas
Circle, to two lanes at Scott Circle
appear to be one reason for the
evening congestion.
