LANDON CONFERS ONBANKING LAWS Discusses Currency Matters With Ohio Legislator. Prepares Speech. ®y the Associated Press. TOPEKA, Kans., July 21.—A survey looking toward “simplification and improvement” of Federal banking laws was projected by Representative John B. Hollister of Ohio today as a possibility if Gov. Alf M. Lendon wins the presidency. Hollister, the ranking member of the House Banking Committee, con- ferred twice with Landon yesterday as the Republican candidate put finishing touches on the 3,500-word address in which he will aceept the nomination Thursday night. At the conclusion of the talks on banking and currency, Hollister said in a statement: “I was particularly interested to talk over with him the matter of non- partisan commission of experts on banking to begin as soon as possible & basic study of all our Federal bank- ing laws with a view to their simplifi- cation and improvement. “The operation of our national banks, of the Federal Reserve System and of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. are closely inter-related, but frequently laws governing one of these establishments are passed with- out proper consideration of their effect on others, leading to conflicts and ambiguities. In addition, ex- perience has shown us that there are many ways in which banking may be improved by additional legislation.” Aldrich Commission Cited. ‘The Ohio Republican said the com- mission might “well be patterned after the Aldrich Commission” of 25 years ago, “out of whose deliberations the Federal Reserve System arose.” Hollister said he and Landon also discussed “the various currency ex- periments of the Roosevelt adminis- tration,” “the disadvantageous effect of New Deal monetary policies on our international trade and on business generally” and ‘“wasteful Govern- ment_expenditure,” whose “continual unbalancing of the budget not only weakens the position of the Federal Reserve Banks and member banks, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO!

SMITH IS SILENT. Refuses Comment on His Talk With Hamilton. NEW YORK, July 21 (#).—Alfred E. Smith said today he conferred yester- day with John D. M. Hamilton, chair- i mittee, but he refused to comment | upon a published report that he told Hamilton he would not campaign for Alf M. Landon. “All I've got to say is.” Smith said, Further than that I haven't got any- some for detailed discussion later. He said there would be “no bitter criti- cism of any class or group.” ; This Landon adviser described the speech as representing “the view of | the plain, average American toward | the governmental problems of today, approached with the view that the American people are entitled to know | where the Republican nominee stands.” | Observers expected emphasis to be given agriculture, relief and employ- ment, and spending, Government and | the Constitution. His calling list cleared to permit two days of relaxation, Landon’s only official engagement was & luncheon: Thursday with Republican national committeemen and members of the Notification Committee. Myers Y. Cooper, former Governor of Ohlo, assured Landon yesterday Ohio would go “Republican all the way down the line.” — England now has 2,000,000 horses, 4,000,000 dogs and about 20,000,000 cats.

Democratic Chairman James A. Farley described as “too foolish to be worthy of comment,” a statement by Rev. Charles E. Coughlin that the Union party would elect a majority in the House. Representative Joseph W. Martin, jr., Republican campaign manager in the East, declared Landon would lose few votes to Lemke. Any Union party effect in the East, he said, would be to “make the States doubly mre for us.” In the Capital last night the Preul- dent was described as “a great hu- manitarian” by Senator Radcliffe, Democrat, of Maryland. Addressing the Democratic National ‘Women's Council, Radcliffe. declared: “Rmevelc stopped the depression and started the Nlflon back to Ppros-4 perity.” In the camp of the Townsendites post-convention activities continued. Dr. F. E.

Goodwin's throat was slashed in a fight staged in his machine on River | road June 17 and he was in a critical | condition at Mount Alto Hospital for ‘sfleral weeks. He obtained the ware {rant on Sunday following his dis- charge from the veterans' institution.

Windsor Poole | at his home, 4215 Leland street, Chevy Chase. His case will be heard in County Police Court on August 10. | A Washington laundry employe, Clifton Dickerson, reported to police |on June 17 that he had stopped a | fight between two men in an automo- | | bile near Kenwood, Md. One of the men, he said, was suffering from a horrible throat cut, but insisted upon driving himself to the hospital. The | other fled. | Officers investigated and found Goodwin, who lives at 4507 Ridge street, Chevy Chase, Md., in Mount | Alto Hospital. He said he could not | tell who attacked him or give any information on the assault, police declared. On Sunday, however, he appeared before Justice of the Peace Evan A. Condon and obtained the warrant. | ‘Two days after the atiack on Good- win, a neighboring couple, calling upon Royer, found him lying un- conscious on the kitchen floor of his home. Gas was flowing from a near- | by range, while it was reported the doors and windows were tightly closed. Americans (Continued From First _P_nge.) reported to have been killed at those | places. He said there were hundreds of refugees in Gibraltar and that Jay Allen, correspondent of the Chicago ‘Tribune, was safe and uninjured there. It was reported that Allen narrowly escaped death Saturday when he was mistaken for an insurgent sympathizer. At Barcelona, American Consul Lynn | W. Franklin reported as of 1 p.m. yes- terday that since Sunday morning the | city of Barcelona had been the center of a Fascist uprising and that all Americans were safe. He said that while the greater part of the rebels had surrendered, there was a continued pursuit of rebels throughout the city, which made it dangerous for persons to appear on the streets. Many churches had been set afire. ‘The larger portion of the army, co-operating with the civil guard, la- bor groups and shock troops, was described as attempting to capture the rebels and maintai norder. A report from American Consul Wil- liam W. Corcoran at Vigo, Spain, at noon today, Spanish time, said that civil war was rife and that the death toll was increasing hourly. His message was telegfaphed through the American Embassy at London. He said members of the consulate staff and their families were safe, that the consulate was functioning and did not need help and that no American casualties had been re- ported. Two British cruisers were standing by ready to taken on British citizens, Corcoran said. Three thousand armed workmen were reported in the hills near Vigo defying the military. It was assumed the military consisted of rebel troops, but this was not made clear. Corcoran said that yesterday after- noon there was fighting in front of the American consulate during which troops fired upon crowds of workers, killing 30 and seriously wounding scores of persons.

Va. By the Associated Press. BECKLEY, W. Va, July 21.—Hub- bard Duling, 34, and his brother Paul, 28, of near Summersville, W. Va., were arrested at their homes yesterday and charged with the murder last Friday of Deputy Sheriff Clarence (Big Boy) Simmons, 44, of Roanoke County, Va. Two other brothers, George and Joe Duling, were taken into custody and lodged in jail here pending “further investigation.” Edward H. Richardson, Roanoke County commonwealth’s attorney, linked the deputy sheriff’s assassina- tion with the death of John Franklin Duuing, a fifth brother, who died in a leap from an automobile pursued by Simmons December 23, 1933, near Roa- noke. Richardson said the car was loaded with liquor. The four denied knowledge of the early-morning death of the deputy in a hail of buckshot as he drove toward his home, about 8 miles south of Roanoke, accompanied by another deputy, Charles Boone.

Prompt action with emergency funds to make the Potomac River Basin a research and demonstration area for studies in flood control, elim- ination of pollution and industrial de- velopment, as recommended by the National Resources Board, was urged upon President Roosevelt in a letter yesterday by Representative Jennings Randolph of West Virginia. He emphasized that a development which would assure even flow of water in the Potomac would encourage very substantial industrial development. He said there are big opportunities, espe- clally at Cumberland, where the Cel- anese Corp, now employing some 8,000 persons, is preparing for an expansion of their plant to 12,000 or 14,000 if assured of an even flow of water in the Summer. Randolph also stressed the health and sanitation and land use advan- tages that would come through such a study. He urged the President to »¥¥» A—3 begin at once the rehabilitation of the Potomac Valley from the Capital to the ‘headwaters in the Keyser- Pledmont, W. Va., area. Referring to the proposal already. pending before the President for con< struction of a dam on the Savage River, tributary to the Potomac, at & cost of $1,600,000, Mr. Randolph argued that this would go a lang way toward regulating the flow of water. Pointing to studies already made and to the recommendations of thg Army engineers and the National Ree sources Board, Representative Ran- dolph impressed upon the President the desirability of having the work get underway at once.
