EDISON FINDS BANK.
WITHOUT PENNIES
international Finance Ex'
pense Voting PROPOSE
ton He Claims
By ARTHUR EPSON
(For Hal Boyle

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80 -R-
Clutching a fey pennies in my
grimy little hand, 1 called on thu
world bank today to open an &C
count.
Right Of, I could see that some
thing was wrong.
For where were the usual re
assuring sings OF banking life?
Where were the pens that al
ways promise to write-better thar
they do?
Where were the discreet calen
dars of the Indian lady in g
canoe?
Where were the tellers behine
the bars that are a subtle remind
er of what happens to little tellers
with sticky finers?
Where, in short, was the bank
No teller, but a publicity mar
named Henry Brown, came to my
rescue.
He said that not only does the
bank have no t%ellers, 1t doesn'1
even have many bankers. Not in
the usual sense, at least. Most Of
its $40 employees are statistlclans,
secretaries and lawyers.
Although the bank has $8,OOO,-
900, 900 in the cat CHATS too big
to be called a kitty, not a dime
of this can be seen.
The bank handles its spare cash
just like you do. 1t takes it 20
the bank. Most of this money is
in the Federal Reserve banK OF
New York city. The rest is scat
tered in banks all over the world.
Its real name is The Interna-
tional Bank for Reconstruction
and Development, and the idea is
to advance loans to help torn-up
nations make the switch from war
to a reasonable facsimile o.
peace.
But the wheels of international
finance grind slowly. So far only
four loans have gone through, tc
France, The Netherlands, Den
mark and Luxembourg.
At least one of the banks direc-
tors has been in Jail. Pierre Men
des France, of the country of the
same name, was tossed in the jug
by the Vichy government. T s
now is considered a compliment.
Since the As st%ock-owning ma
tions have three-fourths of the
worlds population, the bank, in
effect, has 1900, 900, 900 depositors.
Main absentees: Russia, S p a n,
Argentina.
The U. S. has 50, ITS, 0C0, 900 in
the bank. So every man, woman
and child in the country would
have around $22 if this YER split
up equally-Which is most unlike
ly.
With more stock than anyone
else, the U. S. gets $4,000 votes.
Panama has the least stock. and
gets 252 votes.
Every country which joins the
bank gets $50 votes. From then
on the balloting becomes a trifle
expensive-$1O0, 900 a vote.
When Brown said this, I quietly
dropped the pennies in my pocket.
I guess they'll have to hold the
election without me.

Lions, Hoping oCree|
Nearer 10 Leaders,
Meet Barons Here

The Washington Lions hockey
team may not land on top Of the
American Leagues Eastern division,
but the boys will be in the playoffs
anyway, predicts Coach Jack Riley.
"A team as tough as this one is 60
ing to start getting some breaks
soon," he says, land we'll start win
ming the close ones instead Of losing
them"
The top three teams in each divi-
sion earn playof spots. Right now
the Lions, who play Cleveland to-
night at Uline Arena, are in fifth
place, two and a half games away
from the first division, and there's
plenty Of time remaining in which
to improve their position.
The local hockey club has been
putting on an often-a-bridesmaid-
but-never-a-bride act recently, Riley
complains. We've lost two heart
breakers in q row to Indianapolis
and tied both st. Louis and Her
shey after all but winning those
games. We also dropped tough
one to Pittsburgh. We could have
won any or all Of them and it's time
We started winning"
Tonight's game against the Bar
ons ut Uline Arena starts the Lion,
of on busy week end. They tangle
with the Barons again tomorrow
night at Cleveland, and then go tc
Providence to play the Reds on
Sunday.
This will be the first time Cleve-
land has hit Washington this sea
son. The Barons defeated the Lions
60. In a recent match at Cleveland
Lou. Trudel. local favorite when
he played with the Lions several
years ago, is one of the Baron stars
Other standouts among the visitors
are John Holota and Pete Lewsick
