By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, November 12.—| Rudolf S. Hecht, president of the American Bankers’ Association, called upon the Government today to with draw from “many fields of business. “The emergency is passing,” he told delegates to the association’s annual convention. Hecht, chairman of the board of stressed the need for some govern- mental supervision of banks and dis- cussed the public attitude of “re- newed confidence” in financial insti- | tutions. “When we contemplate the extent to which governmental activities have been expanded,” he said, “we realize that a herculean task confronts the administration in reversing its policies and reducing the number now carried | on Federal pay rolls.

CITY URGED 10 SET EXAMPLE IN DRIVE FOR CHEST FUNDS Allen Sees “Overwhelming” Need for Success With U. S. Cash Withdrawn. $362,804.11 TABULATED FROM 21,219 GIVERS Total Contributed in Two Days Is 19.03 Per Cent of Minimum Goal. Pointing out that withdrawal of Federal relief funds has created “an overwhelming need for $400.000 from private sources” to avert suffering in Washington, Commissioner George E. Allen today urged 800 Community Chest campaigners to exert every ef- fort to obtain the additional amount in their drive for $1.877,900. Adaressing an enthusiastic luncheon rally of Chest volunteers in tie ball room of the Willard Hotel this after- noon, Commissioner Allen declared it to be the “patriotic duty” of Washing- tonians to set aa example for the Na- tion in carirg for the needy. “Get in there and fight—and God bless you,” the Commissioner exorted the workers, amid tremendous ap- plause. Immediately thereafter the cam- paign organization tabulated returns for today totaling $161,681.58 from 12,993 givers. This brought the grand total to date to $362,804.11 from 21,219 givers. The grand total represented 19.03 per cent of the minimum goal. U. S. Relief Funds Lost. Commissioner Allen told of the “woeful necessity of facing additional reliet burdens” confronting the city as a result of the cutting off of Fed- eral relief. Hundreds of Washington citizens who are unable to work, he said. but are not eligible to benefit from usual Chest services, are threat- ened with want because of abandon- ment of direct Federal relief. The Commissioner agreed with a state- ment previously made in the cam- paign by District Auditor Daniel J. Donovan that people will suffer trom hunger here unless additional money is contributed to the Community Chest with which to meet the added burdens. The special assignment unit re- ported today a grand total of $137,511, or 23.99 per cent of its quota, $573.000. The group solicitation unit reported a total to date of $64.371.97, or 16.6 per cent of its quota, $388,000. The gov- ernmental unit reported $120,734, or 17.8 per cent of its quota of $677,000. The metropolitan unit reported $39,- 32219, or 17 per cent of its quota of $230.000. The Capital unit, which is canvassing colored citizens, reported $867.69, or 8.67 per cent of its quota of $9,900. McClellan Exhorts Workers. Dr. William McClellan, general campaign chairman, who presided, urged the campaigners to redouble their efforts during the remainder of the campaign. Dr. McClellan took the air last night in an Army bomber to broadcast by short-wave radio an earnest appeal for | a “120 per cent campaign” designed to | net the Community Chest some $400.- 000 more than its minimum goal of $1,877.900. A total of $200.115 toward the goal was reported at the opening report meeting yesterday. Brig. Gen. Oscar Westover joined with Chairman McClellan in the novel broadcast program from the skies. Expressing appreciation of the “priv- ilige” of the Army to participate in the Chest drive in a spectacular way, Gen. Westover said: “The Community Chest, in its (Continued on Page 12, Column 1.) o 90 REPORTED LOST WHEN VESSEL SINKS Turkish Steamer Goes Down in Harbor at Smyrna During Storm. .

NEW YORK, November 12.—Dr. Fritz Gebhardt. 40. was shot to death in a skyscraper hotel early today, and police, rushing out to cut off the slayer's escape, seized his asserted fiancee, who, they said, admitted kiling him. He was found sprawled lifeless in his room on the twenty-first floor of the Beekman Lower Hotel, clad only in a nightshirt Patrolman John Holden found Miss Vera Stretz, a striking ash blond, seated on a fire escape step. “Did you shoot that man upstairs?” he demanded. “Yes, I did,” Holden said she ad- mitted calmly. Detectives said they found a pistol in her purse. They took the woman to a station house and questioned her for hours, but her only assertion, they said, was that she had become engaged to the doctor last December. Came From Germany. Gebhardt had registered at the hotel from Karlsruhe, Germany. four days ago. He used the title doctor, poiice learned, because he held a doctor of philosophy degree in politi- | cal Science. Miss Stretz registered November 4, police said. She refused to give her age, which they estimated at 28. Miss Nan Cannon, assistant man- age of the hotel, who lives on the twenty-third floor, heard shots at 2:35 am. She telephoned police and Leslie | Taite, the assistant night manager. raite went to the twenty-first floor, where, he told police, he saw Miss Stretz sitting by the elevator door. Dr Gebhardt’s door was open and while he went to investigate the woman disappeared. A radio alarm brought a squadron of police cars speeding to the scene, a fashionable midtown neighborhood facing on the East River. Found on Fire Escape. Patrolman Holden, told that no one had come down the elevator, started up the fire escape stairway. He found Miss Stretz at the third floor. She was fully dressed and carrying her purse. He quoted her as saying after ad- mitting the killing: “I was on my way to the station house to give myself up.” The woman's father, Frank Stretz, taken to the police station for ques- tioning, said he did not know Geb- hardt or where his daughter had been living. The medical examiner said Geb- hardt had been shot at least four times, the ballets striking him in the chest, left shoulder and left arm. Empty Shells in Pistol. Four empty shells were found in the pistol Miss Stretz carried, police said. In her purse was a box of cartridges. She said she had been living at the hotel intermittently for about two years. “Please don’t ask me that” she sobbed when asked why she shot the doctor. “I’ll talk only to my lawyer.” Deputy Chief Inspector Francis J. Kear, commander of the Manhattan homicide squad, took charge of the interrogation, but he got no further than the precinct detectives. Letters in Gebhardt's room indicated that he was interested in the promo- tion of a shoe-manufacturing ma- chine and that he went.to Germany last August, returning about a month ago. In Miss Stretz's handbag purse, be- sides the pistol and cartridges, police said they found a blood-stained silk garment which might have been used as a night dress. ‘The purse contained also a platinum engagement ring with a one-and-a- half-karat diamond. The young woman was calm through- out most of the police questioning, but occaslonally burst into sobs. GRID GAME POSTPONED Tech and Western High Schools to Meet Tomorrow.

Christmas Savings Banks Soon Will Pay Owing to a substantial gain in the number of Washingtonians who en- rolled in the Christmas Savings Clubs this year, banks in the Capital will pay out an aggregate of $5,279,575 late in November, which will be avail- able for Christmas shopping and a host of other purposes. ‘The number of Capital residents enrolled in the 1935 clubs in the banks maintaining this type of thrift aggregated 66,154, as compared with 55,307 members in 1934, a gain of 10,347 or about 20 per cent, records show. At the same time the total sub- seription of $5,279,575 in this year's clubs, against $4,362,160 in 1934, re- veals an increase of $917,415, or a jump of 21 per cent over last year. Of course, a few members have not kept up all their payments. The Washington average shows $79.80 pledged per member while the average for the whole United States L] Out $5,279,575 this year was only $42.60 per member. Eighteen of the 22 local banks have maintained the clubs during 1935. Christmas Savings Clubs were first started in Washington in 1912 by a few banks. The idea soon leaped into popularity, and since 1912 these club funds have been an important factor in the sum total of Yuletide spending recorded here. Records indicate that by far the larger proportion of these savings are used for Christmas purchases, Wash- ington bankers placing the figures at about 42 per cent. For permanent savings and investment about 26 per cent is used, while for other year end commitments the figure is placed at 8 per cent and for taxes, 12 per cent. Other uses include mortgage interest, insurance premiums, education, travel and charity. Payments are usually distributed during the last week of November, ¢ | David T.
