Miss Googin previously had denied the re- Ported romance, saying: “I really couldn’t say anything about that. You see, Eliiott still is married.” Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt characterized the reports as “ridiculous.” GLASS BANKING BILL GRANTS MORE POWER TO RESERVE SYSTEM Legislation ‘Enacted Tuesday Provides Deposit insur- ance, Other Features Washington, June 14.—()—Radical revision of the country’s banking meth- ods after years of agitation to correct conditions leading to bank failures and contributing to financial booms jand crashes, will begin to take shape immediately. Senator Carter Glass’ bank reform act, possibly the greatest piece of per- manent legislation enacted by any re- cent congress is becoming a law. {President Roosevelt's signature had been promised, and he had called it “the best piece of banking legislation since the reserve board act.” Under it, private banks will have to ;Quit taking deposits or stop floating jsecurities. All national banks must separate themselves completely from their se- curities corporations within one year. The federal reserve system, greatest single channel for massing credit, is now given the power to shut off this |stream of money from members lend- ing it to assist market speculation. The reserve board is given the pow- er to remove from its member banks, no matter where or how small, offi- cials- whose policies are illegal or even regarded as “unsound.” The practice, fosteted by sharp competition, of paying interest on checking accounts, is stopped. Re- serve member banks may no longer make loans to their officers. Nation- al banks may operaie branches in states which permit their own banks to do so, reducing an advantage held by non-national institutions and al- lowing branch-maintaining institu- tions to enter the national fold. Again curbing the power of the pri- vate bankers, directors or partners of these must get off the boards of all ‘commercial banks. The deposit insurance provision will i 1 W. | protect customers of all banks deemed. sound from January, 1934, until 1936. After that only reserve member banks will have the privilege, a provision that is expected to bring state banks generally into the closely regulated system. i Big Tire Companies Announce Pay Boosts New York, June 14.—(7)—Harvey 8. ¢| Firestone announced Wednesday that al] his companies and stores through- out the country would increase pay of employes 10 per cent effective ,| Thursday.

It had been thought in some conference quarters he could not ig- {more them because they had been |given such great emphasis by the ; Spokesmen for other nations. Three points were stressed by the {chief of the American delegation. He called for removal of “all ex- cesses in the structure of trade bar- riers.” He urged the conference to face ithe “vexed problem of a permanent jinternational monetary standard and lay down the proper function of the metals, gold and silver, in the opera- tions of such standard in the future.” He emphasized the “necessity of taking measures for the removal jof Testrictions upon foreign exchange dealings,” saying that this might “in- volve balance sheet reorganization of certain countries.” Address Well Received His address was received with many marks of approval among for- eign delegates. Members of the Brit- ish delegation indicated that they | Were pleased. The thing which, perhaps, drew the} most general comment, was the fact that the reserved American secretary of state played his cards close to his chest all the time and gave no con- crete indication of the American pro- Posals which will: be forthcoming to carry out the general program. {| Hull was the last of the “big five” jto address the conference, France, Italy, Britain and Japan having pre- ceded him because of delay in the Preparation of his address, which was to have been delivered before any of them. He faced an assemblage of delegates of whom some had bitterly assailed the American war debt and| monetary policies. i The entire American delegation’ was present to hear its chief speak.! Hull was given a tribute of applauce by the crowded house as he took the Tostrum after an introduction by Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald. “The world cannot longer go on as! it is going on at present,” he de-| clared. “The first and greatest task at the present juncture is the develop- ment here, in this hall, of will and determination on the part of the na-} tion's vigorously to advocate this! course. Thereafter plans and meth-| ods will readily take form.” Hull called first of all for a renewal of the tariff truce promulgated sev- eral weeks ago under the leadership of President Roosevelt. i Must Break Barriers i Removal of trade barriers, elimina- tion of excessive tariffs, stabilization | jof exchanges and abandoment of na-| tionalistic economic policies, he said,’ must follow. “The world can not longer go on as! it is going at present,” Hull said. “Ay Successful meeting of this conference | in my judgment is the key to wide- | spread business recovery. | “While it is true tha‘ at the present! time there does not exist a sufficiently | informed public opinion in support of @ necessary program of international: economic cooperation, it is my firm: conviction that the losses and suffer- + ings of people in every country have been so great that they can soon be; aroused into aggressive support of such @ program.” Listeners waited in vain for any ref- erence to the explosive war-debt ques- tion. Despite the fact of its non-in- clusion upon the conference agenda, it had been raised by leading states- men with a demand for prompt reduc- tion as a contribution to the success of the parley. Hull's speech was scheduled for de- livery Tuesday. It was postponed and in the interim it was extensively re- vised. A belief spread here that that fact had @ connection with the reply Presi: dent Roosevelt is preparing to Great Britains’ offer of a partial war debt Payment. Need Cooperative Spirit “My firm prayer is for a spirit of co- operation necessary to create a uni-| fied leadership and program in this conference that will carry hope to the unnumbered millions in distress throughout the world,” Hull said. “A preliminary step indicative of sincere purpose would be the immediate | general adherence by all the partici- | pating governments to the tariff truce already agreed to by at least a dozen i | j | i | ! i | this conference.” The truce was ini (Continued on Page Seven! y Bill Into Action Working Overtim e on Congress Jam Coats off, collars unbuttoned, members of the Senate Finance Com- mittee are pictured up to their elbows in details of the National In- dustrial Recovery Bill as they strove for early adjournment sought by administration leaders.

Edger- ly, a New Englander who furnish- ed the action for a colorful bit of Civil War history in his role as the Personal spy or “field reporter” for President Abraham Lincoln. He died at his suburban home in Blue Island Tuesday night at the age of 95. The recent heat wave that enveloped the midwest was held partly responsible for his death. President Lincoln gave Edgerly his nickname of “the flea”. after he had stolen the confederate army plans for the Willow Creck battle from under the nose of General Robert E. Lee. ‘On one occasion Edgerly escort- ed President Lincoln on an inspec- tion tour of the Union defenses. He said the president stood bold- ly on the fortifications while can- non shot fell near. “Get down from there, Mr. Lin- coln,” he said he advised the pres- ident. “They have your range.” “Your life is as sweet to you as mine is to me,” Lincoln replied. “Yes, but yours is more import- ant,” Edgerly answered.

LIMAX NEARS AS OPPONENTS OFFER ( SUBSTITUTE PLAN Full Test of Strength Indicated; sult Is in Doubt Re- Weakens Opposition Bloc in Senate By Agreement to Aid Spanish War Men ' | Washington, June 14.—(7)—A direct | showdown between President Roose- velt and the senate on veterans relief | was brought near a climax Wednes-| day with the formal offering in the senate of a substitute for the revised house-administration compromise. Accepting a perfecting amendment by Senator Byrnes (Dem. S. C.) to the house-administration plan, to take care of Spanish-American War pen- stoners, the senate drove toward a vote on the substitute and a full test of presidential strength. Senators Steiwer (Rep. Ore.), and Cutting (Rep. N. M.), called up for consideration their substitute, which is more liberal than the house pro- Posal and considered virtually certain to be vetoed by President Roosevelt if passed by congress. Should the substitute be voted down and the modified compromise be ap- Proved by the senate, the battle would be over with victory for the chief ex- ecutive, as Byrnes has told the sen- ate the house would accept the com- Promise and that President Roosevelt would sign it. ‘The modification to include Span- ish American veterans was looked on as a move by the administration and jits forces to take away from the sub- stitute enough votes to beat it, as leaders previously were about ready to concede its approval by the senate. ‘The change made the outcome more doubtful, but advocates of the Cut- ting-Steiwer proposal remained confi- dent they had a narrow margin of votes to carry it. Every consequential task of the legislature has been completed except, settling the senate'’s insistence that allowances for ex-soldiers be greatly increased. Other tasks remaining to congress were nominal. Final signatures had to be affixed on the industrial re- covery act, so the president could put it on the lawbooks. Expectation of a quick windup was shown by Speaker Rainey who packed up and went home Tuesday night. He Left the house in charge of one of the ablest party pilots, Bankhead of Alabama, who has handled many a difficult situation in the past. DEBT TALK RAGES Hayes of Detroit, Mich., and Herbert C.

Frenchmen at the London parley heard’ that President Roosevelt had called a debt conference at Washing- ton and that Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the British exchequer, would announce the fact in the house of commons Wednesday night. The French had tentatively decided not to pay anything on the install-/ ment due Thursday but indicated they might change their minds if a debt conference were called in order to put themselves in line for consideration. Premier Daladier rushed from Lon- don to Paris to talk things over and 4 formal decision was expected late Wednesday or Thursday. Otherwise the French will send another note saying they are deferring payment, as they did last December. The French view of the reported debt conference is that President Roosevelt would talk with each of! America’s debtors separately. The president dispatched to London @ message, to be announced later in the day, saying the United States wilt accept the “token” payment of 10 per| cent, offered Tuesday, only with the understanding that it is only an in- stallment in the $79,950,000 due Thursday and that such acceptances in no way invalidates America’s claim for payment of the remainder. A report in London, after receipt of the message, was that it was satisfac- tory to British ministers. Italy has offered to pay $1,245,438, which is the interest due on its in- stallment of $13,545,000. Grand Forks Legion To Support Martin Grand Forks, WD.
