McPFadden _asserted international bankers took zhu‘e of Versailles treaty ‘pegotiations and as a result tne “honds afterward issued are tainted with ille- gality.” It was “inconceivable,” he said, that the Government would allow the sale ©f these bonds and flw fact that it did was due wholly to the infiuence of a powerful group of international bankers. He charged there was too close an association between the Federal Reserve Bank of Nflew ‘York and muf;lflgnll bankers and “economic experts to whose abando? ned.” “America’s foreign financial policy,” McFadden said, “should be fixed for the Banks by the Federal Board at Washington and not by one of the 12 co-ordinate Federal Reserve g “The stagnation in this country toda: auewhm'flmmmue foreign policy of our Government and in the financial policies of the Faderal Reserve system. mpresenunve Ramseyer, Republican, Iowa, said he doubted the wisdom of Americans imvesiing in reparations bonds.

NEW YORK, December 30.—Former Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver, ad- dressing a large audience in Mecca Temple tonight, made formal reply to Bishop William T.

He stressed the argument that the dropping of the Wood amendment was equivalent to making $836,000 available for salary mcrens-z and that the bill also carries $1,437,800 for inereases ui der the Brookhart and Welch laws. making & total of $2,273,800 in this bill for salary increases. The fund for which Senator Brock- hart and others were fighting, however, was the additional $1,190,000 the budget had recommended to take eare of 30 per cent of the under-aversge grades, and | which the conferees had eliminated. Under the Senate bill, therefore, the total for salaries in these two depart- ments would have been $3,463,800. In telling of the effort the Senate conferees made in the conference with the House managers, Senator Moses sald: “We attempted to glare at them as flercely as they glared at us.” He saild he did not agree to the theory that the House should have a larger control over the national pursestrings, but that he believed In seeking to compromisc Afferences and took the view that the Senate group got more from the con- ference than they had hoped for when they started.

As a consequence of his intimate knowledge of the subject, his opinion ¢oncerning feasibie legislation is viewed in both counties as carrying consider- able weight, Particular importance attaches to an authoritative opinion at this time in the tht of a statement by State Sen- ator G. Hilton of Montgomery County that it is extremely likely that regulatory billboard legislation will be introduced at the session of the Mary- land General Assembly which conven: in fi”n““y r. Smith said that any legislation looking toward the bl‘lmu’dq:su&rlh tion must be drawn with extreme care 80 as mof to violate the principle that no man may be deprived of use of his property without due process of law. Zoning regulations, sancticned by the power, have been proved to ac- h _this rvsult Courts in vari ku:‘htnnhu » and its application to hlllboardfi and the workinlpglfi the zo; ing ordinance in the Washington met ropolitan district of Maryland never has been challenged, indicati that a similar thod of billboard Teg. uation could be applied to the whole | of the two counties. Other Methods Tried. Other regulatory measures have been attempted in other States, Mr. Smith | asserted, but none of them has proved | as satisfac bined legal and practical viewpoint. nent among methods other than zoning, it was explained, have been the levying of taxes on biilboards and their prohibition as traffic hazas The first is of doubtful worth, in the opinion of Mr. Smith, because to elim- inate the billboards the levy would have to ke confiscatory and in that case it would mot have the support of the courts. If the tax were reasonable, the billboard operators could pay it and | still operate at a profit, he indieated. the road, causing acc’ dents. Mr. Smith said he did know whether Maryland courts would agvee to the truth of this theory. Outlines Two Courses. Two metheds of applying zoning to the entire area of Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties are apparent and could be effected at the 1931 ses- sion of the Maryland General Assem- bly, ke sald. One would be the exten- sion of the Maryland-Washineton metropolitan district to include all of both counties, while the other would be to _create separate zoning districts. Mr. Smith said the extension of the metropolitan district probably could be made so that the 10-cent special tax on the district would not be applied to the new area. Objection to the creation of separate zoning areas, declared, piobably would be based on the resuiting cost of administration. ‘That section of Montgomery County centering around Potomac is likely to fall under the metropolitan billboard regulations July 1, 1931, he declared, since the 1927 General Assembly ex- pressed a legislative intent to include the section in the Maryland-Washing- ton metropolitan district. at that time. Comparison of Areas. Effectiveness in the suburban bill- board regulations is evidenced by com- parison of such points as Norbeck, Waodnlde anid Hclnflnl\on which come within the metropolitan distriet, to the outskirts of Rockville, lying outside the district. The three points first named have few billboards as compared with Rockville, Mr. Smith pointed out. Help can be rendered by citizens in llmlun. billboards if they will report all instances of mew outdoor advertis- ing in the metropolitan distriet to the Park and Planning Commission's offices in the County Building at Silver Spring, Mr. Smith declared. He sald police of both counties have been instructed as to the law restrict- ing the erection of billboards, but vio- )nt&)m may fail to be brought to their notice. ll!uttraflons of billboards on road- des in Montgomery County are to be fcund in the iotogravure section of this Sunday's Star. The ghowgn her took pictures of the billboards the rcadside and then went bemnd them to show the scene which the billboards obscured from the vision of motorists.
