D. {. Banks May Try
5-Day-Week Plan if
Saturday Work Drops
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Belief was expressed in the finan-
cial district yesterday that WASH
ington banks may eventually Join
the five-day week movement and be
closed all day Saturdays, officials
stating that this might come about
in the next two or three wears
Adoption OF the f1ve-day week by
the Government may reduce the
volume OF Saturday banking business
until the 2h h-hour Saturday service
will not be needed, bank officials
said.
Future volume on Saturday will
depend largely on the number of
Federal employees who go down town
to do their banking when the Gov
ernment Offices are closed. One bank
official said the branches were likely
to get more business than they have
been getting, while there may be a
falling off in the main offices. The
Saturday noon rush, that has pre-
vailed Tor so many years, may fade
out.
The banks are watching the situa-
ton very closely, future action hing
Ing wholly on the volume of business.
Some banks in New Jersey and else
where already close on Saturdays in
the summer. For the first time, the
New York Stock Exchange closed
Saturdays this summer One bank
official said that the financial in
stitutions are not likely to close
Saturdays as long as the big de-
partment stores remain open.
Bruce Baird, president of the Dis
trict Bankers Association, said that
service" is the deciding factor in
any consideration of banking hours
1t is too soon to tell what the Gov
ernment's flye-day week will mean
to the banks.
The AZ associations in the District
Building and Loan League are
watching developments with equal
interest and are ready to take any
action in the future that may be
warranted

TAXI REGULATION
BILL IS REJECTED

RALEIGH, Feb. g. R The
House Finance Committee voted
today to report unfavorably a bill
seeking to regulate and control
taxicabs in North Carolina by plac-
ing them under the supervision
Of the State Utilities Commission.
The decision to give the big,
Statewide measure an unfavor-
able report was made in executive
session following a tWo-hour pub
lie hearing, the second in week.
The first hearing was held last
Wednesday by the Senate Finance
Committee, which deferred action.
Identical taxicab bills were intro
duced in both houses.
Spokesman opposing the meas
ure today, led by George C. Hamp-
ton of Greensboro, charged that the
bill would eliminate competition
in the taxicab business, thus fore
ing small operators out of bust
ness, under provisions OF the bill,
introduced in the House by Reps.
Hatch of Wake, Caveness Of Gull
ford and Wallace of Lenoir, the
Utilities Commission would issue
franchises to operators, requiring
them to carry insurance of a bond
and having power to refuse or re-
woke the franchise. Tax rates for
taxicab operators would also be
increased.
This bill is bounded and Cir
cumscribed by the world 'monop-
oly'!" Hampton said. He added
that in centralizing power in Raj
eigh with the Utilities Commission,
it would squeeze the little men,
the war workers, and finally the
returning veterans out of business
and eliminate competition for the
large taxicab companies.

Daily Prayer
FOR RIGHT THINKING

Made in Thine image, with the
right to approach Thee as sons,
we pray to Thee, our Father in
Heaven, for sound minds, to see
the right clearly, and to pursue it
faithfully. Deliver us from the fogs
of sentimentality and confused
moral judgments. Teach us to
love the things Thou lowest, and
to hate the things Thou --latest.
May our moral convictions not be
blunted by any false prudence or
personal fears. Give us a holy hor-
ror of whatever is wrong; and en-
able us to share Thy Sons pas
sionate resentment against all who
defile holy things and despoil in
nocent persons. So may we keep
ever before us the essential issues
of this war, and thus be delivered
from baser motives and fears.
Amen.-W. T. E.

Hungary Rekindles
The Torch of Liberty

IN THE first postwar free election
i in Eastern Europe, the people of
Hungary have REPUDIATED
COMMUNISM and have put A CON.
SENTATIVE PARTY in power.
Moreover, the liberal" Socialists
were also emphatically rejected.
The small landowners party OBJ.
tanned a decisive majority of all the
ballots cast.
The Social Democrats ran a poor
second, and the Communists were a
bad third, supported apparently by
fewer than Is per cent of the elec.
torate,
This outcome was especially i'm
pressive inasmuch as Hungary was
liberated" from the Nazis by Soviet
Russia, the country is now occupied
by Red army under Marshal Vo-
roshiloff, and attempts were made by
Communist sympathizers and Com
munist police to Influence" the
election by intimidating voters and
arresting non-Communist party
leaders.
THERE must be sound reason for
Il such an event-and there is.
TWenty-six years ago Hungary
experienced the r1iseries and hor-
rors of Communist government,
and the Hungarian people haUe not
forgotten the bitter ordeal.
Following the downfaH OF the
old Hopsburg empire, Hungary
emerged from the First World War
as an Independent republic under the
leadership of Count Michael KaroIyi.
A Communist uprising wns TO-
nented and financed by Soviet
Russia.
The republic Uas oUerthroUn,
Count Karolw Was driUen into exile,
and Bella Kun became the dictator
of SoUiet Hungary.
Kun, former Socialist serving in
the Hungarian army, had been cap
tured by the Russians, converted"
to Communism in a military prison,
released by Lenin and smuggled into
Hungary in the disguise of a Red
Cross nurse with war fund of Rus
sian rubles.
For 133 days Hungary suffered a
