A2 »s UNUSED RESERVES | OF CREDIT LARGE Banks Found Utilizing Only Half Potential Limit of $55,000,000,000. By the Associated Press. Despite reserves in excess of legal requirements, Federal Reserve bank members’ credit was described yester- day by a high board official as re- stricted to about half the potential limits by a combination of circum- stances. This official said the “present peak reserves” of almost $4,400,000,000 could support loans and investments of $55,000,000,000, whereas the amount now outstanding was but $28,000,000,- 000. This leaves a legal reserve ex- cess of about $2,100,000,000, he said. Banks Held Hesitant. ‘The reasons ascribed for the slow- ness in making new loans were “partly hesitancy on the part of banks to take normal risks and partly to the time it takes to reverse a depression trend.” Too much stress was being placed nowadays on ‘“good borrowers,” due 1o the fact the definition of that! phrase had “stiffened considerably since the depression,” it was ex- plained. Service is Restricted. The Federal Reserve Board, it was learned, restricted service of its class *“C” directors to two consecutive terms of three years each, excluding the Federal Reserve agent at each bank, who is named from the class C rank. This order, voted January 9, takes effect January 1, 1936. It was issued to obtain new policies for the banks through the injection of | new blood and new ideas. Board officials denied they knew of the reported resignation of Owen D. Young, class C director of the New York bank as a protest against the new regulations. MAIS IS BELIEVED BREAKING UNDER POLICE GRILLING _(Continued From First Page.) tri-State gang for almost two years, 1s in New York now to question Mais and Legenza and the sweetheart of Mals, Marie McKeever. Woman Is Key in Case. Police, hoping to break the Le- genza-Mais alliance to learn who smuggled them guns at the Richmond City Jail, and to trace their actions since that fatal dash for freedom, are banking heavily on the woman in the case. Involuntarily, but no less surely, Federal agents say, Marie McKeever led them to the fugitives. The woman was “spotted” in New York and shadowed faithfully as she made her rounds. First she went to a midtown New York hotel to visit Edwin Gale and Martin Farrell, alleged members of a new gang Legenza and Mais were sald to have formed after their escape. ‘That was Thursday afternoon. Gale and Farrell were arrested and the ‘woman again followed. What’s What Behind News In Capital President Holding Tight Reins on Pres- ent Congress. l You may have suspected from glancing at the front! pages lately that it adjourned after the opening session three weeks ago. Judging from the noise made so far, no one has been in session except Huey Long. The fact is that both Houses have | been twiddling their thumbs. Sessions have been held only about half the time. One reason is that President Roosevelt has delayed the submission of his program, but there are deeper | and more significant reasons. ! About one-third of the present Con- gress is new. These freshmen hardly know how to get from their offices to the floor and back again without get- ting lost. Most of them so far have only a vague notion what this legis- | lating business is all about. It will be weeks, if not months or years, before all of them get on to the ropes. Another third is made up of Repub- ! licans, who are in a very docile mood. They are not going to start anything. All you have left are the old- time Democrats, who are the leaders, and a few old faithful geysers, like Long and Thomas, who spout every hour on the hour. The result is that Mr. Roosevelt and his leaders have the reins on this Congress tighter than on the last one. Two-Thirds Not Asleep. But do not let that fool you. Downi underneath, there is fire. The two- thirds who do not know how, or do not care, to express themselves are not asleep. You can get a tip on how they feel by noting the way they listen intently to the Longs and Thomases. BY PAUL MALLON. HIS is the most peculiar Con- gress we have had in a long time. t session, when Long spoke, it was a good opportunity for every one to go to lunch. He was a clown. No one took him seriously. This year he is a genius. Incredible as it may seem, most good politicians now con- sider him that; net, of course, in rela- tion to common sense, to finance or government, but solely in political salesmanship. He has promised to make every man a king. No one can raise him on that unless a promise is made to make every man a dictator, but, even so, a king's life is softer. The freshmen may not know much, but they know Huey's hooey goes over big with unintelligent voters and also with a lot of intelligent ones who have suffered so much that they are past calm reasoning. Mr. Roosevelt knows this situa=~ tion and has been handling things mainly to keep the Congress jrom running after the false prophets. That strategy was apparent in all Still unsuspecting, she led them to the hospital where Legenza lay with his two fractured legs in plaster casts, Legenza's legs had been broken when he jumped down an embankment fol- lowing a gun fight with Philadelphia police. Legenza was taken into cus- tody, helpless to resist. Mais Found Asleep. Then, agents say, the McKeever woman was followed to an apartment early yesterday where Mais was asleep, 2 loaded gun and dirk in bed beside him. Mais and the woman then were arrested, without a shot being fired. If the alliance breaks, the Mc- Keever woman will break it police officials here belleve. Legenza, ac- cording to the gang’s “squealer,” never approved of the girl friends who were attached to other members of the gang. The McKeever woman remained loyal. however, and was the princi- pal defense witness when the pair received death sentences for the mur- der of a Federal Reserve bank truck guard during a Richmond hold-up. Gale and Farrell probably will be held for Pennsylvania authorities. The new gang organized by Legenza and Mais is supposed to have perpetrated numerous pay roll robberies in and about Philadelphia and Camden, N. J, using New York as a “hide- | away.” Kidnap Plot Bared. Mais is said to have told authorities his gang planned to hold Neuman for $50,000. Precautions taken by the | distiller as the result of other kid- napings caused the plan to fall through just as the gang had posted men near the Neuman garage to wait for an opportunity to seize the intended victim. Then, according to Mais, the gang turned to a plan to abduct Sam Lazar, said to be indentified with the alcohol business in Philadelphia, but increasing pressure on the gang by Pennsylvania police caused the mem- bers to flee to New York. Francis X. Fay, in charge of the Department of Justice Bureau of In- vestigation in New York, said the in- vestigators were “morally certain” that Mais and his gang are implicated in the kidnaping of Willlam Weiss, prom- inent in Philadelphia night life, last November. Although an $8,000 ran- som was paid by relatives of Weiss, he never returned and police believe he was murdered. Hold-up Plans Unfolded. ‘The Philadelphia Record said today that Farrell told New York police the gang had been planning a series of hold-ups in Philadelphia at the mo- ment they were arrested. The first was to have been a downtown Phila- delphia bank yesterday afternoon, the paper said. The Record also quoted Lieut. Wal- ter Sullivan of the New York police as saying Mais told him Legenza fired the shot that killed the prison guard during the Richmond escape. Sul- livan said Mais admitted both he and Legenza had guns at the time, but that Mais insisted he did not do:the shooting. The police officer also was quoted as recent moves. As things stack up now, he will be successful gener- ally, although he will have to make concessions. But don’'t by any means Dbelieve everything is as quiet as it seems along the Poto- mac. The mayor of a large Eastern city went to see Long a few days ago. He asked the Senator to visit his town and make a share-the-wealth speech. Long barked back: “I don't have to go traveling all around the country. I reach my peo- ple on the radio.” That is the Roosevelt technique, but you could hardly classify Huey's harangues as “fireside talks.” Reports of the resignation of houser James A. MofTett are getting to be a dime a dozen in the Wash- ington whispering gallery. Even his friends edmit he plans to sever his connection with the New Deal some- time soon so he may return to the oil business, but they say he will not quit unti] the Senate has confirmed him. Possible Successorship. Some have even gone so far as to pick his successor, A good bet is Charles Edison, son of the late in- venter, who is a State officlal of the National Emergency Council. Edison was associated with Frank Walker in the drafting of the housing legislation and has a keen interest in the prob-! lem. The housing administration has developed publicity science further | than any other New Deal bureau, Among other things, it now puts out daily a_ digest sheet with circular charts showing exactly what the press thinks of it. One such chart recently showed 80 per cent of the press fav- orable and 16 per cent neutral. What pleases the New Deal econo- mists so much about the increased steel production is that some of it is due to increased orders for machinery. ‘That may mean the start of a pick-up in factory rehabilitation. N. R. A. Chairman Clay Williams’ idea of news was to pledge a reporter to secrecy recently about the fact that he, Williams, was going to make a | speech the following week in New York. The A. A. A. has not said so yet, but it has decided to drop one of its strengthening amendments because Senator Byrd objected. This is the one giving the A. A. A. authority to contro! land taken out of production. Modest Senator Sheppard of Texas tried to get an appointment recently with Interior Secretary Ickes, but was informed Mr. Ickes was too busy to saying Mais told him the guard who was killed had smuggled the guns to them, according to the Assoclated Press. 2,500 FLEE SAAR AREA Flood of Refugees to France Is Growing. FORBACH, France, January 19 (). ~The flood of Saar refugees reached high tide here today with the arrival of several hundred persons during the forenoon. Officials estimated 2,500 had left the Saar since the plebiscite. The refugees are being quartered and fed in the gymnasium here, but as quickly as possible sent by train to Southern France to make room for others, see him for nearly a week. Congressmen are spending most of their time interviewing job-seekers from home. The job-seekers are wasting their time because there are no jobs here. (Copyright, 1935.) — Marriage Tangles Relations.

I They met when Experiences during a 3,000-mile trip through Great Britain were described by Dr. Maynard Owen Williams, chief | of the forelgn editorlal staff of the National Geographic Society, in an il- | lustrated lecture last night in Consti- | tution Hall before members of the soclety. | The lecturer described such events as the Grand National steeplechase, the famous Derby and Royal Ascot races, the trooping of the colors in London before King George, glimpses of the famous Henley regatta and such | sports as tossing the caber in Scot- | land. Dr. Williams also described Kew Gardens, London, which he said| played an important role in the de- velopment of the great rubber planta- tions of the east. Small rubber trees were shipped from Brazil to the gar- dens and were there carefully “nursed"” by expert botanists. Later they were shipped to Ceylon, site of the east's| first rubber plantations. Through the same gardens quinine was relayed from | Peru to the East Indies. Dr. Willlams also described the port of London with its 70 miles of harbor. Two-thirds of all that England eats and drinks is imported, he pointed out, and most of the imports are brought to the London docks. The student steeplechase at Eton College on founders day, the wedding of Prince George, Duke of Kent, to Princess Marina, the Scottish games at Braemer, attended by the King and Queen; the Runnymeade pageant of episodes in British history, St. An- drews famous golf course, the launch- ing of the gigantic ship Queen Mary on the Clyde and the Aldershot tatoo also were described by the lecturer. —_ Baby Suffocated in Crib.

'$250,000 1S SOUGHT FOR ANACOSTIA SPAN | Southeast Business Men Address Letter to Appropriations *Group in Senate. The Southeast Business Men's As- sociation, in their fight for a new bridge across the Anacostia River at Pennsylvania avenue, last night ad- dressed a letter to every member of the Senate Appropriations Cemmittee asking for an allotment of $250,000 for its construction. The House turned down the provi- sion in the 1936 District appropriation bill for an engineering survey for the bridge after it had been approved by the Commissioners and the Budget Bureau. Pointing out the present handicap to traffic because the bridge is not wide enough to permit more than one two-way traffic lane, and calling at- tention to the fact that trucks carry- ing more than 10 tons are not per- mitted to use the present structure, Richard B. English, vice president of the association, in his letter, declared Southeast Washington, while contrib- uting 1513 per cent of the taxes, has received only about 3 per cent of the figure spent for improvements. Pointing out that in the last three years the Northwest section of'the city has received three new bridges, English asked the Senate Committee for permission to appear before it and submit an oral argument in fa- vor of a new bridge.
