GERMANS RESENT VIEW OF BANK RATE {French Sources Accused of Interpreting Raise in Un- justifiable Sense. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, April 26.—The Wolff Bu- reau German press association, has is- sued a denial of reports of French origin dealing with the condition of the Reichsbank and the raising of its dis- count rate yesterday from 6z to 72 per cent. ‘The statement charges “conclusions” reported to it by French sources repre- sented an intentional undermining of German credit abroad. It denied there had been extensive foreign withdrawal of deposits from Germany. The statement follows: “According to reports by a French news agency, Wednesday's session of the Dawes plan transfer committee has given rise to conclusions which cannot be explained otherwise than as an in- tentional undermining of German credit abroad. Withdrawals Are Denied. “It was sald, for instance, that cer- tain forelgn banks considered it wise io MRS. MITCHELL MAKES MOST {Wife of .

The joy of living, the pleasures of society, study, sport and being a real companion to her husband and her two sons are perhaps accountable for the engaging personality of Mrs. Willlam De Witt Mitchell. The wife of the new Attorney Gen- eral goes about her daily tasks with a ,mulng energy which conveys the happy impression that she enjoys being a cabinet hostess. She finds it is possible to carry on philanthropies and social activities, to| keep her attractive home in perfect | running order and to make it a real| home, to play a bit and to help others get some of the delight out of life that she gets herself.

Mrs. Riley's speech, in part, follows: “On the envelope which carries the monthly bulletin of the Women's City Club to fts hundreds of members in Washington and in many other cities throughout this country and abroad, the words ‘Voteless Washington’ have been used as a reminder of this po- litical paradox at the Capital of a great republic founded upon the right of rep- Tesentation. “The Women’s City Club, with its large membership composed of women of diverse interests, many of ‘them Distriet of Columbia. which dpes not enjoy the high privilege of voting for electors for President and Vice President of the United States. “It has no representation in the Con- B etizens permiied o pariiioate ns parti the selection of their city officials, Fur- thermore, the citizens have no voice in the fixing of their municipal tax rate, gl the ]gn!lz‘tblfit“ the dtym:ud‘n or ow and for what purpose me raised through taxation shall be mmy'l “The residents of the District of Co- lumbia, without any voice in determin- ing the covering policies, are required to obey all national laws, to pay na- the wealthiest and most mt.lan(m'.Iu!loeofmzel?trl':'rar“mfi'F enjoy the same privileges that the citi- zens of four of our non-contiguous ter- “Through special committees and for- mal action at regular club meetings, it has co-operated with the Citizens’ Joint Committee and has annually reafirmed the principle announced by the found- ers of our Republic that ‘governments derive their just powers from the con- sent or the govern: nd that ‘taxa- tion without Tepresentation is tyranny,’ and that the half-million people of the District of Columbia who obey national {CULTURE BEFORE COURSE | Chief Measure Is to Shift Emphasis From Credits to Accom- plishments. FORT WORTH, Tex. (#)—No longer will upper classmen at Texas Christian University be judged in terms of courses passed and credits earned. A “pre-junior achievement test,” to measure a student’s merit in terms of general accomplishments, will be in- augurated next Fall. Students must pass this test in “fundamental tool courses” before gaining admission o the junior year. “Tool courses” are listed as English composition and literature, one foreign language, government and history, one natural science, two electives from the field of mathematics, the Bible, sociol- ogy or economics, psychology or philos- ophy and an additional science and language. “In addition to these fields of study.” Dean Colby D.
