Skip Vacations TO Aid
Defense, Patterson Asks

Undersecretary of War Patterson
urged yesterday that summer vaca-
tions be temporarily forgotten in the
interest of national defense in order
that a vacation from bombings,
ship sinkings and slavery to political
principles that are abhorrent to us"
might be realized.
He told the Washington chapter
of the American Society for Public
Administration that 1--WE have asked
industry to work on 24-hour basis,
to the degree that men, materials
and machine tools are available. If
there were a 25th hour and an
eighth day, we could use those, too y
Mr.. Patterson asked the execu-
tives TO strive for "poiSe, patience
and good humor" in their work, par
ticularly with the hot season ap-
preaching. He also advised against
ENHANCEMENT In details, citing the
plight of an executive who "is no
longer running his organization; it
ID running him"
In closing, he said: "We have
heard y said recently that COM
placency among the people is the
greatest obstacle in the path of the
national defense program. I don't
think any one needs to go out look
ing for complacency among the peo-
pie. 1t fourishes richly here. The
climate is marvellous for it. But the
climate is also wonderfully produc-
tive of perspiration, and I think with
plenty Of that we shall manage to
overcome our mistakes and to sue

The necessity for picking a new
head of the District group is based
on the expectation that Senator
Reynolds, Democrat, of North Caro-

Carolinian is in line for that place
under the seniority rule. and has
been acting chairman since the
death of Senator Sheppard of Texas.

Picketing Goes On
As White House Aide
Disperses Soldiers
Police Also Intervene
To Prevent Trouble
With Peace Group

Picketing for peace continued in
front of the White House today, but
it required police and executive in
tervention last night to avert trou-
BILE right on Pennsylvania avenue.
Following the pattern of the week
end, when uniformed service men
several times heckled and brawled
with the American Peace Mobiliza-
tion pickets, a group of soldiers,
sailors and marines gathered in
Lafayette Park last night apparently
with similar intention.
Soldiers Dispersed.
On this occasion, however, they
were hated by 1t. Col. Horace 3.
Smith, White House military aide,
who came across the Avenue to re-
mind the men they were wearing
uniforms of the United States armed
services and that they must not be
party to disorder.
Although the group dispersed
temporarily, later gathering
brought a detail of local police un-
der command of Inspector Edward
Kelly. After Inspector Kelly had
urged the service men to let the
pickets wear out their shoe leather"
Col. Smith returned TO assist in dis
Suading the crowd from further
demonstrations.
One dissenting soldier was taken
into custody by Col. Smith and later
turned over to military authorities
at Fort Myer.
Dies Inquiry Planned.
Attaches of the Dies Committee
on Un-American Activities revealed
today a special subcommittee would
begin a public investigation of the
peace organization next Wednesday.
First witnesses. it was said. would
be committee investigators who have
made a check on the organization
and its membership.
The investigating subcommittee
will be Representatives Starnes of
Alabama and Voorhis of California,
Democrats, and Mason, Republican,
of Illinois
White House police took into
custody uniformed marine shortly
after noon today after he had broken
a lantern carried by one of the Peace
Mobilization pickets. The marine
gave his name as Andrew Tomaszky.
He said he was stationed at Paris
Island, S. c.
A delegation from the picketing
organization yesterday called upon
Maj. Gen. Edwin M. Watson,
secretary to the President, to
protest their week end treatment
at the hands of service men.
The Rev. Owen A. Knox, chair
man of the National Federation for
Constitutional Liberties, appealed to
Police Inspector James E Beckett
for adequate police protection for
the pickets, in a letter received at
headquarters today. Mr.. Knox
asked that there "be no repetition
of vigilante violence such as that
which occurred last night"

By EDWARD c. STONE.

Total deposits in Washington's 90
active banks amounted to $450,970,-
637.o7 on June 30, 194l, smashing all
previous records by large margin.
1t was learned today following call
for condition of all banks in the
Capital and all national banks in
the United States, issued by the
controller of the currency, Preston
Delano.
Information obtained from the
banks since the call was announced
early today shows a gain of Sl4,-
oil ,58663 since the call of April 4.
this year, when deposits in the
banks in Washington amounted to
s436.e59 051.34, very substantial
advance.
Comparisons with deposits on
June 20. 1910, revealed a sensational
gain during the past year of $685.
2e4,13264. Deposits a year ago to-
tailed 1884 ,676.505 33.
BANKERS SAID To-Day tnat the Shdrp
increase in deposits reflects the
growth of the Capital, little desire
on the part Of bank depositors to
make extensive investments and the
fact there is no longer an intangible
tax which formerly caused sharp
Withdrawals at midyear.
1t had been expected that the
purchase of Defense bonds might
lower savings accounts in the banks
which would be reflected at this

record so far in the sale of these

money to pay for them is taken out
of income rather than from savings
