BANKER DISPUTES PROBE TESTIMONY Cummings of Chicago Says He Never Met Hopson or Robinson. | By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 23—Walter J. | Cummings, Chicago banker named in | the Senate utilities lobby quizz yes- terday as a “friend” of certain utility interests, said today he was “mysti- | fled.” “I never met either Howard C. Hop- | son or Bernard B. Robinson of the Associated Gas and Electric System,” smd Cummings, who is chairman of | the Continental Ilinois National Bank & Trust Co. “The bank never had any transac- | tion with them or their company. The bank, of course, has certain util- ity holdings which Mr. Hopson and | his associates may have wished to purchase, but no deal was ever men- tioned.” Robinson, a lobbyist for Hopson' firm, yesterday identified a “C. U. | mentioned in a telegram from Hop- | son as Cummings. The telegram said “C. U. is a friend of ours except when his own interests are con- cerned.” Robinson also testified Cummings' bank was interested in a utility trans- | action with which Robinson was con- nected.

The State Department had nothing to say today to assertions in the Brit- ish Parliament that this country “can- not possibly keep out of the next war,” but that position was disputed at the Capitol. The official attitude on the Italo- Ethiopian crisis was still that of silent watchfulness. Chairman Nye of the Senate Mu- nitions Investigating Committee, a supporter of mandatory neutrality legislation, commented: ‘“Standing in with Britain and other powers in the last conflict has led to the experience which dictates that America ought to want more than anything else most emphatic guarantees against being | drawn into any conflict which is none of her making and none of her affair. “If Europe learned nothing as a re- sult of the last war, America at least ought to want to profit from it.” Horns In brought the body back to the Sta Impressive Rites Are Held for Noted Flyer in Oklahoma City. By the Assoclated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, August 23.— The body of Wiley Post, aerial globe circler and dauntless voyager of the bawn Mausoleum here today. At almost the same hour yesterday millions of Americans paid deepest homage to the two Oklahomans who week ago—Post, the stratosphere fiyer, and Will Rogers, cowboy-philosopher and screen favorite. “He died doing what he wanted to do,” declared Rev. W. R. White, who led the hour-long funeral service for Post at the First Baptist Church. Church Crowded. ‘The church was crowded with sober- faced men and women. Outside the streets were thick with others who casket was borne out through a guard of honor. Rev. M. M. Evans, pastor of the Landmark Missionary Baptist Church at Maysville, home of Post's parents, spoke briefly. At noon Post’s body was removed from the rotunda of the Oklahoma Capitol, where it lay in state, and an official tribute was delivered by Gov. E. W. Marland. Tribute Dropped From Air. An airplane curved downward from the group which had been circling overhead and scattered flowers.

Final World Tribute Is Paid At Biers of Rogers and Post| 50,000 View Body of| Philosopher-Comedian in Los Angeles. ! By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, August 23.—The | somber last curtain was drawn to for ‘Will Rogers today. His stocky, rough-hewn body was sealed away in a crypt at Forest Lawn Memorial Park late yesterday after a brief ceremony at the Wee Kirk o’ the Heather. It will rest there for a while, until Mts. Rogers takes it back to Okla- homa to be interred beside the re- mains of his father and mother in the Chelsea Cemetery. While the rites were being sald the life of the whole community stopped. Business paused. Public offices were closed. More than twoscore Holly- wood film studios were silent. And countless thousands of peopie partici- pated, in one way or another, in the homage to the homespun philosopher- wit. 50,000 View Body. Btarting at 7 o'clock in the morning, some 50,000 folk filed past his body, lying in state in a grove of trees at Forest Lawn. An even greater num- ber failed to gain entrance. The body lay for five hours and a cordon of police moved the crowd as fast as possible. But there wasn’t enough time. In the afternoon, while a few in. vited guests went to the private serv- ices at the Wee Kirk o’ the Heather, 10,000 gathered at the Hollywood Bowl, and an unnumbered host assem- bled in the movie studios and the Community Presbyterian Church in Beverly Hills. It was probably the greatest tribute ever paid a private citizen. At the chapel, a mountain of flow- ers was massed, the wreaths, figures, bouquets, and funeral pieces coming TRUNKS—"55: Repairing of Leather Goodl G.W.King,Jr. 51111thStN.W. * CUT FOOD COSTS AT KIDWELL’S MARKETS MEATS Shoulder Lamb Breast Lamb _ Real Calves’ Liver FINEST QUALITY Smoked Hams.

J. Whitcomb Brougher, former pastor of Tremont Temple Baptist Church, Boston, and Temple Baptist, Los Angeles, seemed deeply affected as he led the service at the Wee Kirk o' the Heather, describing Rogers as he had known him. “He has been the one figure in the 1ife of our Nation who has drawn to himself the admiration and love of all classes of people,” Dr. Brougher said. The clergyman read Will Rogers’ own introduction to a book, written by the cowboy-artist, Charley Russell. PRESIDENT SIGNS BANKING MEASURE Glass, Steagall,- Morgen- thau and Eccles Among Those Present. By tre Associated Press. President Roosevelt today signed the baaking bill, giving the Fedeval Reserve Board greater control over national credit. Its congressional sponsors, Sena- tors Glass, Democrat, of Virginia, and Representative Steagall, Democrat, of Alabama, had special invitations to be on hand for this formal end of their travail in reconciling differences be- tween the Senate and House bills. Strengthens Board’s Hands. Under the legisiation the hand of the Federal Reserve Board on national credit is strengthened. Guests of the President for the sign- ing also included Secretary Morgen- thau, Chairman Eccles of the Reserve Board; Leo Crowley, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and J. F. T. O'Connor, controller of the currency. Only on infrequent occasions has Mr. Roosevelt invoked such ceremony " Pallbearers taking the body of Wiley Post mw the mausoleum at Fairlawn Cemetery, in Oklahoma City.

To prevent severe fluctuations in the ebb and flow of credit this com- | mittee may order the purchase or | sale of Government securities by the 12 Reserve banks. These operations will be confined to the open market, purchases direct from the Treasury being prohibited. The open market policies will be mandatory on the banks but the com- mittee is given power to exempt any it desires. Under existing law a bank may stay out of open market opera- | tions. As a further check on the credit barometer, the Reserve Board, by ma- | jority vote, is empowered by the new ]aw to double the existing reserve re- quirements of 7, 10 and 13 per cent to be maintained against deposits. Restating of Rates. The Reserve banks will be required to restate their rediscount rates at least every 14 days. The board may either approve them, veto h-xem or re- vise the rates. The present Reserve Board of six appointive members, with the Secre- tary of the Treasury and controller of the currency as ex-officio members, is to be reorganized, effective Febru- ary 1, 1936, into a _seven-member board with the ex-officios removed. Members cannot be removed hereafter except for cause. Board members will serve for 14 years, although the initial appoint- | ments will be for staggered terms be- ginning with two years. Salaries will be raised from $12,000 to $15,000. Provisions that the board be bi- pertisan and have at least two ex- perienced bankers as members wers eliminated in conferences between spokesmen for the House and Senate. Titles of the heads of the 12 Re- servé banks will be changed from “governor” to “president.” They will * SOL HERZOG, be selected for five-year terms by the bank boards, subject to Reserve Board approval. ¢ To en more industrial activi- ties, the Reserve banks are authorized to make loans on collateral not now regarded as eligible but which they regard as acceptable security. Limited Directorates Limited interlocking beank direc- torates will be permitted. ‘The existing temporary deposit in- surance law, guaranteeing individual deposits up to $5,000, is made per- manent, with the annual assessment lowered to one-twelfth of 1 per cent of a bank's total depocits. As'a step toward united banking, Stdte banks in the insurance- fund with deposits of $1,000,000 or more will be required to join the Federal Reserve System by 1942 to retain in- surance. A Senate provision relaxing exist- ing prohibitions against banks of de- posits underwriting securities was eliminated in conference after the President expressed opposition. Existing law on real estate loans by national banks was retained, except for a slight liberalization. Whereas now five-year loans are permitted up to 50 per cent of the appraised values, they could be made up to 60 per cent of appraisals and for 10 years if secured by mortgages | insuring repayment of at least 40 per | cent of the loan in that period.
