War Financing
Held Menace
To Bank Capital
Margin Of Protection
Wearing Thin; Federal
Aid May Be Necessary

WASHINGTON. Sept. II (INS).
The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation warned today that the
nations banks are facing a condi-
ton in which their capital Is wear
ing Vhin. with consequent decline
in their margin of protection.
This trend, result Of govern
ment deficit financing during pre-
war New Deal years, has been
stepped up greatly by the vastly
enlarged deficit financing made
necessary by the war. and the
private financing burdens thrown
on the banks.
The wearing away of the capital
margin Of protection will not
endanger the deposits OF the Over
whelming majority of bank de-
positors, since individual deposits
are insured up to a 5000 limit.
MAY WEAKEN BANKS
Thinning capital cushions, how
ever, admittedly will veal ken
banks, and will increase the neces-
sity of strong government meas
ures to keep banks open In the
event of postwar business de-
preston.
The FDIC pointed out that the
present situation imposes a great
strain on the banks. II asserted
that the growth in bank resources,
without corresponding increase
in bank capital, has diluted the
margin of protection at the very
time the banking system faces a
critical period.
Moreover" said the agency.
"there In reason to believe that
these tendencies will continue,
perhaps even at IN accelerated
rate"
The thinning of capital margins,
it pointed out, gives new emphasis
to the necessity for financing the
war by higher taxes and war bond
purchases, since every dollar OBJ
tanned in either of these ways Is a
dollar that will not have to be
borrowed from banks.
DEPOSITS AT PEAK
Government and private financ-
ing increases bank deposits. The
result is that deposits are the
highest in history. At the end Of
1871, deposits OF insured banks
amounted to ST., 600, 000, 900. or
double what they were when de-
posit insurance was started eight
years before. Insured bank capital,
however. increased only from S.
600. 100000 to $7,000,0O0,0OO, or
about IS per cent
Bank obligations and bank
assets will probably expand sub
stantially over the next few
years." the FDIC said. Bank
capital, on the other hand, II not

A brighter spot in the picture
was the improving quality of bank
assets. In 1941 less than I per cent

amined by the FDIC were criticized

Jan Kiepura's
Polish SONGS
Stir rAudience
Explanations Given
By Tenor Increase
Hearers FervOr
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Jan klepura, Polish tenor, sang
songs OF his native land at his
recital yesterday afternoon in Con-
stitution Hall and had every one
applauding with enthusiasm. Part
Of that was due to the dramatic
manner in which Mr.. Kiepura ex-
planned what the songs were about,
finishing by saying they were in
my blood and in my heart" These
songs were on his program last
season and now, as then. they
showed the artist at his best.
Warming up with the Celeste
Aida" aria is an unusual proceeding
for tenor, but Mr.. Kiepura seems
to wish to do so, for last year it
also was among the first. If not the
first, number he sang. The surety
of his high tones and the timber
Of his voice makes it reasonable
that more arias than songs should
be listed. for he is eminently an
operatic tenor with a flair for stage
effects. Through the program he
managed ito include the romance
from Bizet's The Pearl Fishers"
sung, for some reason, in Italian;
lie Reve,' from MaSsenet's Ma
non," substituted for the pro-
grammed Lutte Song" from Korn-
COLDS The Dead City; Sweet as
a Dream" from Flotow,s Martha.
and Che Gelida Mamma" from
Puccinis La Boheme," and, as one
encore, La Donna Mobile" from
"Rigoletto."
Voice Is Robust.
Mr.. Kiepura's voice is a robust
one. and he sings with great emo
tional intensity. Yesterday, how
ever, the tone had sharpness to it
and was not produced as freely as
formerly. While it is always salts
flying to find singer caught up in
the sentiment of what he is singing.
Mr.. Kiepura exaggerates the use of
sobbing quality and is inclined to
pattern all his emotional expression
along the same lines. This he
brought also into his Interpretation
Of songs which hardly differentiated
their style from the arias.
al ClCu1dIly WdS llllS SO Ill Lie TWO
Strauss numbers, Dream in the
Twilight" and Morning." both sung
in English. These lovely songs lost
considerable in the translation and
by Mr.. Kiepura's overdramatization
of them. The art of singing a song
so that it speaks for itself is not his
forte, for he underlines with in
tenSity every meaning.
Delivery Very Effective.
In the vocal arrangement of the
Chopin prelude known as Prayer
for Poland" and in Nowowiejski's
Baltic Legend" his manner of de-
livery was most effective. Also in
such songs of marked accents and
spirit as Wieniawski's "Kujuwiak,
Rossini's La Danza," Tagliaferri's
"Ammore Canta" and Auber's
Laughing Song" his vigorous in
depreciation was received with de-
light.
Otto Herr, playing with the piano
top lifted, nevertheless gave a well
modulated and supporting accom-
paniment to the singer.

At Least Studio
Fails to Find
1t in Life
Wide World News.

HOLLYWOOD.
If nature lovers find any screwy
boners in the new film story of
the life of Edgar Allen Poe, studio
executives say they can blame it on
the great author himself.
/. Recently 20th Century-Fo spent
several hundred dollars trying to
trace the Charleston, s. c., beetle
that Poe called the gold bug" in
his famous short story. Poe de-
scribed the insect in great detail.
But Brian Foy, who's producing
'The Loves of Edgar Allen Poe, -
says he doesn't believe there ever
was any such insect.
"Entomologists agree that Poe
put two beetles together and made
synthetic one," said Foy after
much research.
Since the author was known
to have been on at least speaking
terms with Old Man Barleycorn,
we have concluded that he must
have been seeing things when he
told how he came across the gold
bug and how it inspired him to
write his short story. But, OF course,
we could be wrong"
Anyhow, the studios bug experts
are now following Poe's description
and making what perhaps is the
first gold bug in movie history.
When completed 1t will appear to
breathe and walk and, If they can
figure out what kind of a noise a
gold bug made, they probably will
wire him for sound.
