REOPENING TO DEPEND ON FACTS DISCOVERED Walter J. Cummings, Treasury Official in Charge, Expects Action in Several Days. A comprehensive survey of the con. dition of all 13 Washington banks in the hands of conservators is being pre- pared by the office of the controller of the currency for submission to Walter J. Cummings, executive assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury, who is giving special attention to the problem of re- opening these closed banks. This report, which will ‘be oonwll- idated from the heads of all divisions of the controller’s office who know any- thing about the closed banks here, is expected by Mr. Cummings “withinsa few days,” he said this morning. ‘What can be done to reopen any of #these banks, Mr. Cummings explained, will depend upon the facts. Likely Course. ‘Without referring to any specific banks by name, Mr. Cummi ex- plained that the general situation will pmbcbly Tesolve itself into a considera- ion first of the banks which may be in c(mdmnn to reopen individually. “We may have to reorganize some panks so. that the money can be re- fleased,” said Mr. Cummings, “and a primary consideration will be the inter- tsu ol the depositors.” Representatives of the controller of the currency are known to have been making a close examination of the banks in the hands of conservators to Aetermine the value of their assets and AMNESIA VICTIM Amnesia_victim, whose relatives are being sought by police.

Victim of amnesia, a 61-year-old man was in Gallinger Hospital today while police here and in Cleveland, Ohio, were making efforts to locate his relatives. The man, who said he thought his first name is Willlam, appeared at Metropolitan Police headquarters yes- terday and asked for assistance. His clothing bore Cleveland labels, but when policg suggested he was a resident of that city, he was unable to recall ever having lived there. Close questioning brought out that he has a wife and six children and that he had been a salesman for an Jiabilities, and it is a report on this ex- Bmination which will first engage the pttention of Mr. Cummings. R. F. C. Loans in Question. The new executive assistant to the | jrog" Becretary of the Treasury will not con- kern himself, however, he explained, with any possible loans to be obtained by the closed local banks from the Re- construction Finance Corporation. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation it- self must pass on such plained. Some time probably will elapse before Bny definite word as to the reopening of any of the local banks will be forth- coming, according to present indica- tions, but Mr. Cummtnn is giving his close attention to the local situation un- der specific luthaflty from Secretary ol the Treasury Woodin.

Thirteen Washington banks still are Wirtually closed, having failed to receive licenses from the Secretary of the to reopen when the other banks of the city resumed unrestricted operations on March 14. These closed banks, which are in the hands of con- servators, who are officers of their own institutions, for the most part have been authorized to do a limited busi- mess, such as receiving trust funds in B “bailee account” for unrestricted withdrawal, the making of change and &he acceptance of payment on notes. _Possibility of a merger between some of the closed banks, which has been Gnformally discussed for some time, was given renewed impetus today by Mr. Cummings, who indicated that auch 8 gmerger might be among the possibili- ties for reopening. Details of any fuch plan, however, remain to be con- =midered, he said. There were also indi- gations that it might be necessary to | Biquidate some of the banks to release the funds which have been tied up Bince the President’s banking holiday. Conservators to Report. Conservators of the closed banks will be given opportunity to present their own plans for reopening, but this will come along in the course of regular reports through the office of the con- troller of the currency, Mr. Cummings indicated. In other words, he has not called upon the conservators in per- £on to see him in his office as yet for a consideration of any plan to reopen. ‘The ideas of the conservators, however, Mr. Cummings said, will be given full consideration along with the complete report on the banks themselves com- ing from the controller’s office.

The administration’s bill to set up a $2,000,000,000 corporation for re- financing small city homes was com- pleted today by a group of President Roosevelt's advisers, and probably will be_introduced within a day or two.

APPEAL TO CONGRESS- ACCOMPANIES REQUEST Patrick Declares Metering of Cabs Will Be Proposed Again to Legislature. Petition for establishment of a mini- mum rate of fare for taxicabs in the District and uniform zones for flat- rate charges was filed today with the Public Utilities Commission by one large cab company as s move to provide “emergency relief” for drivers now said to be suffering from existing competi- tive low rates. Commission officials, who oppose the fat-rate system of charges and have sought a return to the meter system, said consideration of the taxicab prob- lem must awalt decisions on pending litigation and legislative proposals. The request for hearing on a proposed minimum rate and uniform zones came from the Independent Taxi Owners’ Association, through its president, Harry C. Davis. The petition was accom- panied by a printed document contain- an appeal that Congress adopt suit- able legislation directing and empower- ing the Utilities Commission to est: lish an equitable cab rate and rn.sm able insurance requirements.

Patrick, cb.llf- man of the Utilities Commission, sai today u:e commission plans to pmpoae again the metering of taxicabs and to suggest rates for the approval of Con- gress, unless there is a change in the restriction on the powers of the com- contained in District legisla- tion. ‘The commission, he said, could not establish minimum flat rate charges, Shsion upnomna;' e & o an order of e » requiring the metering of cabs, found 3 ayuun of flat rate charges to be inatory and un- just. ‘This District Supreme Court decision, O acals, where's Geciion 1s pendine: o ‘where a Since the low:: court declared flat tory, Gen.

A rider was attached by Congress to the 8] tion act for the current year, mam. enforcement. of the n order requiring installation of meters on the cabs. The pending measure for the next fiscal year be- gioning July 1 provides an order for meters cannot be entl;‘oteed until and if Congress approves them.

Keech said he would favor a system where taxi operators could elect to use the zone rate of charge or the meter system as ordered by the commission. Asks Temporary Relief. ‘The Independent Taxi Owners’ Asso- ciation stated it was in sympathy with the commission order for mzurm; of the cabs, but since Congress has re- stricted this power it asks the setting of minimum rates to provide temporary relief until Congress lifts the ban on meters. “We have patiently waited since Jan- uary, 1930, for proper regulation by the Public Utilitles Commission,” the state- ment declares. “The hamstringing of the Public Utilities Commission by Con- gress on the meter question has caused a terrific hardship on the part of these drivers’ and owners’ dependents. These men allege many pitifule stories, such as not being able to properly clothe and feed thei.r little ones, which fre- quently keeps these youngsters from at- tending school.” e e - o Boys Dismantle Airplane. An airplane in a barn near the south end of Bolling Field was partly dis- mantled yesterday by a gang of boys later arrested by police. Sergt.

Washingtonians by the thousands vied with visitors from the four points of the compass yesterday in paying trib- ute at the court of the Japanese cherry blossoms, around the Tidal Basin in Potomac Park, until nearly 100,000 had viewed the floral carnival. ‘The United States Park Police, who kept an official count of the number of automobiles traveling the flowery circuit, said today that 13280 cars passed the Inlet Bridge yesterday. Capt. P. J. Carroll, who had charge of the police detail of 50 officers, said that no count was maintained of traffic to Hains Point. He noticed large numbers of people being brought down to the Tidal Basin by taxicabs, to walk around be- neath the fragrant trees from Japan. Many were discharged from the street cars, at Fourteenth and Water streets, too, he said. Fewer Come From Away. ‘The police commented on the fact that there were not as many out-of- town cars as usual on the Sunday when the cherry blossoms are at their height. ‘They were anticipating machines from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, le!llnd and Virginia in great numbers, but this year it seemed to the police mc the automobilists were nearly all from the District. They attributed this to the depression and the fact that visitors in great numbers came here recently for the inauguration. The station master's office at the Union Station today estimated that 5,000 visitors came into the city yester- day by rall. There were three special excursion trains and extra coaches were placed on the regular equipment to care for the increased travel. Police reported but one traffic accident in Potomac Park. The machine of M. C. Free of Clayton, Ohio, going east on the Tidal Basin road collided with the rel.r of a machine driven by Harry P. Mills of 2325 Third street, northeast. Mrs. Maude E.

The American Automobile Associa- tion with its si and arrows point ing the way to the floral display, facili- tated the movement of machines from out of town, along the city’s principal streets. ‘The weather was propitious although cloudy in the afternoon. The cherry blossoms sightseers got their start early for at midmorning the roadways ad- Jjacent to the Tidal Basin were filled with motorists, determined to see the sights, before the midafternoon traffic jam set in. Park officials say that with favorable weather, the cherry blossoms will pre- sent a delightful spectacle gll this week. The pink will fade to white, however, and the next display will be the dou- ble blossom variety, found in East Po- tomac Park. These are expected to be at their best about a week from next Sunday.
