The organization of the depositors began with a meet- ing a week ago. At that time a com- mittee headed by Judge J. W. Thomp- son, 3155 Nineteenth street, was formed, and direeted to work out a plan to protect the depositors’ money. Addresses Mass Meeting. Judge Thompson addressed the mass meeting last night both inside and outside the library, outlining the com- mittee’s plan. He said as soon as the support of approximately 80 per cent of the depositors is pledged he will confer with the Controller of the Cur- rency with a view to obtaining author- ization for the new institution. Summing up the financial situation of the Park Savings Bank, Judge Thompson said loans now outstanding total, in round numbers, $2,280,000. He said the bank has $460,000 in debts and $1,500,000 in defalcations bring- ing the total due the bank to $320,000. Other assets include $81,000 in bonds, $124,000 United States Government se- curities, $150,000 cashier’s bond. $50,- 000 life insurance policy of Robert Stunz, .an official of the bank who re- cently killed himself; $100,000 capital stock and $150,000 bank property, bringing the total assets to approxi- mately $978,000. This amounts to about 43 cents on the dollar for the depositors, he explained. Under the pr:gosed plan the cash on hand when the work of the con- servator !s finished, which was esti- mated to amcunt to between $300,000 and $500,000, will be used as the cap- atalization of the new bank. The stock wculd be prorated on the basis of the deposits. Such a plan, Judge Thompson said, would give the depositors the total as- sets of the bank. This could not be done, he said, under any reorganization of the old institution. He said it was hoped that formation of the new bank could be effected with- in 90 days. Other Speakers, Besides Judge Thompson, members of the committee presenting the de- positors the plan last night included Mrs. M. Delight Trent, Maj. E. Land Allen, Miss Jane Burke and Col. Wil- liam DeGrange. A committee representing depositors in the Industrial Savings Bank met last night on call of W. H. C. Brown, presi- dent and conservator. The group voted to issue $200,000 stock and if the total issue is subscribed, to petition the con- troller of the currency for permission to bscome a national bank. The Citizens’ Committee officers as appointed by Mr. Brown, were con- firmed by the group, which included Tepresentatives of civic, fraternal, re- nglo‘us. business and financial organ- tions. Elder Michaux, evangelist, made a Plea for subscription of the stock, and #31,375 was pledged at the mesting. Plans for a larger mass meeting of depositors probably will be formulated following a meeting of the stockholders next Wednesday. Describes Selling of Stock. il » | Hollywoodian | Helen Hayes as she posed for daughter Mary. “If I die like that at the end of every movie, people will begin to say ‘jiggers on Helen Hayes pictures’ and I wouldn't like that.” Such is the comment of Washington's favorite daughter of the stage on the habit of casting her in ic roles. “In all my pictures either the hero or the heroine dies at the end,” Miss Hayes explajned. “Directors seem to like the way I die. Or they want me around when the hero breathes his last. When across a splendid death pt, they mutter to them- selves . ‘now think how Helen Hayes could' do that" and there I go again.” Returning to Washington after a across the continent, (I nevertheless, she will go to a theater here to view her last -work in “The ‘White Sister,” which she: never has mm in its ?Mc .

Since she completed “The White Sis- ter” Miss Hayes has journeyed to the iera with her playwright husband, arles MacArthur, and Irving and Norma Shearer Thalberg. MacArthur and Thalberg are evolving a new film for Norma Shearer. Miss res took the transatlantic voyage “just for the boat ride,” as she had to return for further work in Hollywood, but she came back even before she had antici- pated because she “had a hunch” she ought to. When she arrived in Wash- ington. she found her father, Frank V. A. Brown, was ill. She hopes to remain here until his condition is im- proved, ‘Talking of her film future, which car- trious antecedents in “The Sin of Madelon Claudet,” “Arrowsmith,” “Fare- well to Arms” and, gccording to current re] , “The White Sister,” Miss Hayes said the Hollywood powers want her to do “Night Flight” next. “It’s & marvelous book. They want to have Clark Gable, Wallace Beery, and the two Barrymores in the male roles.” “‘Grand Hotel’ again, except for Joan Crawford and Garbo,” the interviewer interposed. “Oh, yes, we might have Garbo bring in a card on a tray or something. But I don't want to make the picture. It has another sad, sad ending. I want to do ‘Another Language.’ I think they will let me, although we have almost no choice in the stories we play.” Daughter Waves Bear. The actress’ little 3-year-old daugh- ter, Mary MacArthur, had been roam- ing about the room ever since the in- terview began, waving a brown teddy bear at the abashed scribes, agreeing that it was fun to be photographed. “Do you want your picture taken?” her mother asked as the photographer set up his tripod. “Uh hum,” sald Mary. “Mickey Mouse.” “No, no Mickey Mouse,” said Miss Hayes. “You see, Mickey Mouse is her favorite. But she hasn't seen me yet.” Mary continued to roam. til mother is through,” Miss Hayes sug- gested. Mary wandered out reluctantly, returned now and then to look in the door to be sure her mother had not escaped. ‘The talk turned again to Hollywood. “What's the matter with it?” “It's fine. But they have these awful picture schedules. A new one finished every week. It all has something to do with economics. You can make 52 a year as inexpensively as 30. But I think they should cut out the ‘quickies,’ make fewer films and let all shey turn out be so good people would have to see them.” ‘The directors? “Frank Borzage and Victor Fleming are two of the best I've encountered in all my experience. But directors often have to work on the deadline method. About half-way through a picture a script runs out. Then they begin handing it to the director in little scraps. He is supposed to make a picture from that. It's all because they are shooting pictures out like sausages.” * “Farewell to Arms” took about 10 weeks to finish, “The White Sister approximately 12.

Since reports at the District Bullding were that it was doubtful if a test case on the policy as affecting annual permits. ‘The board has issued temporary per- case of annual permits, to replace the temporary licenses. Don’t Expect Test Case. Leo. A. Rover, United States attorney, has not been asked yet to rule on the ;rmtter and has not published an opin- on. test case from an enforccment point of the law.

A test of whether, under the beer act, a counter is in fact a “table,” where consumption of beer is permitted in a refusal by the Commissioners to issue an annual license to one such applicant. The demand for additional temporary permits continued light today, the board approving 22 this morning, bringing the total approved to date to 1,235. A total | of 210 have been denied.

LIE DETECTION METHODS OUTLINED TO SESSION Society for Philowpl.ly. and Psy- chelogy Also Told of Fast and Slow Classes of People. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Important researches in the mecha- nisms of human bzhavior were reported at the opening session of the Southern Soctety for Philosophy and Psychology at the Wardman Park Hotel today. ‘The effect of alcohol is much the same as that of cutting out parts of the brain. This was reported by Wallace B. Varner of Washington and Lee Uni- versity, who experimented with some inebriated white rats. Before they were intoxicated the rats were taught to run two mazes—a cimple one and a com- plex cne. The drunken animals, it was found, remembered the simple maze as well as before. The complex maze running was att:nded with numerous errors. This is what Dr. Kenneth B. Lashley of the University of Chicago found recently when he cut away parts of the frontal lobes of the brains of rats. It was only the complex func- tions that required something akin thinking—not the easy tasks which had become matters of habit and were ac- complished automatically—that suffered. Varner found also that his rats grad- ually became immune to alcohol. After repeated experiments some of them reached the stage where they could do about as well drunk or sober. The rats were intoxicated by placing them in a tank containing alcohol fumes. Lie Detecting Improved. An improved method of lie detecting as by Dr. John E. Winter of Virginia. It is & combination of two old meth- ods. First is the word association test. A person suspected of falsehood listens to a list of innocuous words, responding to each one with the word which comes first to his mind. Into the list are introduced a few words bearing di- rectly-on the matter conce: ‘which the subject may be lying. time of each response is taken. If it is par- ticularly long for the “trap words,” or has various other characteristics a guilty consclence is indicated. The other method is the cardio- pneumo-psyc! test. Blood pres- sure and breat rate can be meas- by mechanical means. Both are increased by emotion. When 8 person is lying. however well he may conceal his emotion outwardly, he can- not control these unconscious physio- logical functions. Both methods are unreliable, since the tester never can be positive that the emotions that cause the abnormal reactions are due to falsehood. Winter tested 27 suspects among the college students by both methods. He found that the combination was much more reliable than either of the tests alone. But even then he caught occasionally person and concluded that thelmethod was not safe for criminal worl : Attacks Alfer Body. 25 a conductor of electricity altered during attacks of Xperiment The iz strangel epilepsy, it was shown in e: reported by J.

The chicken ordinarily is one of the most gregarious of animals and Pattie tried to find out whether they were born with a ‘“soclal in- stinct.” He placed some chickens away from the flock as soon as they were hatched.

He found that the solitary chickens made no greater effort to reach the companions of their own kind they did to reach the mice. Four-day-old chickens who had been kept with the flock, however, made strenuous efforts to reach the other chickens. ey had learned loneliness. Pattie concluded that there was no specific social in- stinct in chicks. All Humans Divided. Human beings may be divided into a fast and a slow group, reported Dr. Lyle H. Lanier of Vanderbilt University. The “fast” are fast all over and the “slows” are slow all over. Dr. Lanier tested 35 college students in 10 kinds of motor react'on familiar in the psychological laboratory, such as tap- ping, marking lines, naming colors, can- cellation, ete. ‘They split up into the fasts and the slows. Then he tested them for the unconscious phyncloflgl functions, such as basal metabolism, blood press- ure, pulse rate, breathing rate. The “fasts” had higher blood pressure, higher basa] metabolism and faster pulse rate. The “slows,” curiously, showed the fastest breathing rate. The case of a totally color-blind man was reported by Dr. Frank A. Geldard of the University of Virginia. In- ability to discriminate any colors what- soever is considered an extremely rare anomaly and Dr. Geldard made exten- sive tests with the man.

POTOMAC 16 FEET UP IN SPRING FLOOD Anacostia Naval Air Station Lawns Under Water—Sea Walls Covered. Flood waters in the Potomac today raised the level to 16 feet above normal at Chain Bridge, poured a six-inch stream across the lawns and roadways at the Anacostia Naval Air Station and covered the seawalls al a number of points. Despite forecasts of more rain to- morrow and tomorrow night in the upper Potomac Valley, however, river- men expressed no alarm. The high water is now at about its peak, it was ts { said, and probably will begin to recede this afternoon. ‘The heavily swollen condition of the river today was attributed by the ‘Weather Bureau to three causes acting in concert—freshet water from the recent heavy rains, which accounted for a rise of about three feet above normal at Sycamore Island, above the tide line; the normal high Spring tides, and southerly winds which have been backing the water up in the Potomac for several days. At Sycamore Island the river was 4.7 feet above the yearly normal and was about 3 feet.above the Spring normal. This rise is due entirely to freshet water, the Weather Bureau said. The 16-foot rise at Chain Bridge, however, is due to the combination of all three factors acting in the deep gorge there, it was explained. The river in Washington reached its maximum height at 10:56 o'clock this morning, with the crest of the tide, and this afternoon the river is expected to be within its banks throughout the Dis- trict. The night tide shortly before 11 o'clock tonight may bring the level above the lower points along the sea- walls again, but probably not as high as this morning, it was said, N 50 “EMERGENCIES” JOIN RELIEF LIST Central Union Mission Superin- tendent Shows Demand Un- usual in Plea for Aid. Fifty new human emergencies—no two alike—are looking to the Central Union Mission for food and shelter, Supt. John S. Bennett announced to- day in explaining the need of the “mission of churches” in caring for the unusual relief demands being made upon it. In urging the mission’s supporters to aid its work during the Easter period and the months to follow, Mr. Bennett pointed out that these new relief cases cannot be provided for adequately with- out additional funds. Homer le- heaver, noted song leader, is coming to Washington to sing for the mission during its weekly radio appeal tomor- row night at 8:30 o’'clock, over Station ! WOL. As a result of these radio pro- !znmx. furnished by the Converts’ Glee Club, most of the men’s clothing given away to the needy have been con- tributed. ‘I'he Easter program at the Central Union Mission will consist of dinner for as many men as funds will provide for and a special song service in the evening at the chapel.

The State Commissions claimed yes- terday that the system unduly favored the telephcne companies. Some of the commissicns took the position that the I C.
