He succeeds Ord Preston, president of the Union Trust Co. and has been first vice president during the past year. At 42 years of age, he is one of the youngest presidents the as- sociation ever had | | T.

Reilly, president of the Second National Bank, was named second vice president; A Scott Offutt, vice president of the City Bank, third vice president, and Albert S.

Election interest centered largely in the selection of third vice presi- dent, which places the candidate in line for the association presidency. Naming of Mr. Offutc means that | he will be at the head of the organi- zation four years hence. He was general chairman of this year’s con- vention and has servea on many im- portant committees. Representatives of the District Bankers’ Association in the Ameri- can Bankers’ Association were also elected at today's session. Francis E.

The contest, open to institute members, is sponsored by the bankers association. Important annual reports were presented to the convention today, including the Advertising Commit- tee, Willard G.

Eugene Elgin, assistant cashier, City Bank. ‘The reports showed marked progress in these special fields. Delano Speaks. Preston Delano, controller of the currency, was introduced to the convention as an honor guest. Speaking informally, he declared that the men who guide the de- stinies of the banks of the country are ready to do their full share in meeting the present challenge to democracy. This may call for great sacrifice, he said. In view of what is going on in| Europe any discussion of minor dif- | erences over domestic banking prob- | lems seems unimportant, he said. “Free economy, free speech, free press and free assembly are threatened in the drive now being made abroad for world regimenta- tion,” he continued. “We may have to regiment ourselves to prevent a greater regimentation.” One of the convention’s out-| standing addresses was delivered by ‘Walter B. French, deputy manager in charge of the newly formed credit department of the American Bank- ers’ Asociation. He spoke on “Con- sumer Credit.” Stresses Kind of Credit. | This type of credit relates to small loan departments which so many banks have recently established. Mr. French stressed the importance of the kind of credit the banks are to grant. He reviewed the reasons why people borrow money and said | the banks should not lend money to | those who would become spend-; thrifts. To justify the small loan depart- | ments, banks must select their bor- | rowers with the greatest care. Every | loan should render a real service. ‘The profits in small loan depart- ments, to the banks, rest largely on | volume. If such departments are estab- lished on a selfish and temporary basis, while the demand for money is s0 much smaller than the sup- ply, then the banks are headed for trouble. But if such departments are based on sound credit and serv- ice motives, both the banks and their customers will profit by them, Mr. French asserted. Dr. Willam Yandell Eliott, chairman of the department of gov- ernment at Harvard University, spoke at today's session on “Eco- nomic Aspects of America With World War Conditions and the Aftermath.” Congress in Brief TODAY.

ChileanLiner s Towed To Anchorage After Hitfing Breakwater 110 Passengers Taken To Safety Following Panic Aboard Ship By the Associated Press. CRISTOBAL, Canal Zone, June 8. —With water in her bow up to the anchor line, the 7,216-ton Chilean liner Copiapo was towed today to an anchorage just off the Panama Canal channel after striking the west breakwater at the entrance of Cristobal Harbor. ‘The ship’s 110 passengers and her crew were rescued without injury. A passenger, Dr. Adolfo Villanueva Lazo, a Peruvian delegate to the ‘Washington Scientific Congress, said panic followed when the ship struck, but that all passengers were taken off by launches and tugs. Some of the passengers were American women en route to join their husbands in the Panama Canal Zone. Officials blamed the accident on a navigator’s failure to see the breakwater lights. The steady stream of passengers, arriving in small boats, taxed hotel facilities in Colon and Canal Zone residents opened their homes to care for the unexpected arrivals. A few of the passengers showed signs of nervousness, but many were laughing over their experience. Among those rescued was Hans Hauser, well known skier, who was on his way to Chile. Golf (Continued From First Page.) holes of high-pressure golf today. Little started out at a burning pace—34-34—picking up a birdie on the 430-yard first hole, a dog-leg. The former amateur king was strok- ing his shots beautifully. Ralph Guldahl, twice former open champion, who started the final day three shots behind the leaders, lost a stroke to par on the fourth hole when he drove into the rough. Little picked up another birdie on the fifth to be out in 34, two under par. His card: 343 435 345—34. Little holed a 15-footer for his 3 on the fifth and barely missed from 8 feet for what would have been another birdie on the ninth. Followed hy a big gallery, Little put on a brilliant exhibition of driving and approaching, splitting the green with every shot. Smith, the veteran of the three leaders, started out steadily with even par 4, 4, 3, 4 on the opening holes. Snead Has Three Pars. Snead started 4-4-3, taking easy pars on each. He gambled heavily on the dog-leg second, shooting over deep rough and placing his ball within 30 yards of the green on the 369-yard hole. His putt for a birdie 3 hung on the cup’s rim. Jock Hutchison, jr., playing with Smith, started out sensationally, 3-4-2-4-4-4, taking only one putt on each of the six holes. He was behind the leaders four strokes starting the round. Smith was level par through six holes. Craig Wood, who played through two extra rounds before he lost the Open crown to Byron Nelson last year at Philadelphia, hurridely shot himself out of the running in this event by starting out 4-5-3-6 this morning. Thus he dropped three strokes to par, and he already was four strokes behind the leaders. E. J. (Dutch) Harrison, who was within shooting distance of the lead with 144 for 36 holes, was out in 35, one under par. Ralph Guldahl, twice former open champion, who started the final day three shots behind the leaders, lost a stroke to par on the fourth hole, where he drove into the rough. He shot the last five outward holes in even figures for a 37 and slipped further off the pace. Great Birdie 4 for Little. Little went 2 under par again with a great birdie 4 on the 483- yard 13th. His second was almost buried in a sand trap, but he blasted out 6 feet from the hole. Snead ran into trouble for the first time on the fourth, where he took a bogie 5. On the fourth Snead missed the green with his second. He shot the fifth and sixth in regulation figures, but he had to sink a 32-footer to get his 3 on the fifth, Smith threatened to blow his chances when he went over par on each of the last three outward holes to make the turn in 39. His card: 443 445 456—39. Smith was slicing his drives bad- ly, and on each of his bogie holes his tee shot wound up either in deep rough or among the trees. Little lapsed on his tee shots and fell back to even par through the fifteenth. On both the fourteenth and fifteenth he sent his drives into the rough and took bogie 5s. Jock Hutchison, jr, was out in 34, slipping over par for the only time on the eighth hole. Nelson Registers a 35. Byron Nelson, the defending champion, shot into the picture for the first time with a fine 35 going out on his third round. He was [five strokes behind the field start- ing today’s play. Gene Sarazen, a two-time former champion, likewise climbed into the running with a 35 on the front nine. Harrison spoiled a fine round with a 7 on the thirteenth, where his third shot landed in & creek. ‘ THE EVENING Admiral Rodman, Veteran of Two Wars, Dies of Heart Ailment Represented U. S. Navy At Coronation of King George VI Admiral Hugh Rodman, 81, one of the Navy’s most distinguished officers, died last night in Naval Hospital. He had been ill almost a year with a heart ailment.

Farmer, 82, Found Shot In Virginia, Gun Nearby Randolph Harrison, 82, a retired farmer, was found mortally wound- ed this morning near an outbuilding at the home of his son, James R. Harrison with whom he had been living near Navy, Va. According to Sheriff E. P. Kirby, who investigated the case, a single- barrel shotgun was found lying near Mr. Harrison, who died before police arrived. Mr. Harrison was discovered by his son and daughter-in-law, who told Sheriff Kirby they heard a shot about 8:30 am. and rushed out- side where they found Mr. Harrison lying unconscious. Sheriff Kirby said Mr. Harrison apparently had rested the gun against an old harrow with the bar- rel pressing against his stomach. He evidently had used a small stick which was found near the gun, to fire it, Sheriff Kirby said. Dr. T. B. McCord, Fairfax County coroner, said he would issue a certi- ficate of suicide.

Appealing for Senate action in the face of an adjournment drive, Chairman Smith of the House La- bor Board Investigating Committee which drafted the original revisions, declared the House vote yesterday demonstrated the country’s demand for immediate amendments “as an essential part of the defense pro- gram.” “Don’t fool yourself,” said Rep- resentative Hook, Democrat, of Michigan, as House debate ended, “this bill will never be law.” Nevertheless, 116 Democrats and 142 Republicans voted for the Smith amendments; 3 Republicans, Democrats and three others against. Mrs. Norton Assails Green. Chairman Norton of the House preferring less drastic amendments, bitterly as- | sailed President William Green of | the American Federation of Labor for indorsing the Smith proposals, with revisions which were made, after having said formerly that they would destroy the act. Mrs. Norton said that until Thurs- | day her committee's bill had the A. F. L. support. “Strange things happen overnight, and we have strange bedfellows in Congress today,” she said. “What combination or trade was responsible for the change of heart of Mr. Green is beyond me.” Mr. Green several months ago said the Smith amendments would have the effect of destroying the act. Minority’s Efforts Futile. A House minority tried in vain to confine the amendments to the series of four approved by the Labor Committee and built around the ad- dition of two new members to the three-man board.

Separate the agency's present Canada’s Premier Speaks of Possible U. S. Aid in War Old and New Friends Will Arise to Help, Says Mackenzie King By the Associated Press. OTTAWA, June 8.—Prime Min- ister W. L. Mackenzie King pointed Canada’s attention today to “old and new friends"—with a reference to the United States—for possible | help if a widening war ranges ‘new | enemies” against the Allies. Speaking at a time when the world is expecting an Italian move | to join Germany in the war, the Prime Minister said in a radio ad-| dress last night: “If new enemies oppose us, we Americans Over 40 Meet fo Consider Role in War Time Fifth Column Detection Pointed Out as Valuable To U. S. Defense Dr. William Downs, president of the Americans Over Forty, Inc., presided over a patriotic meeting in Epiphany Parish Hall, 1317 G street N.W., last night, at which Gen. Amos A. Fries, U. S. A. retired, was prin- cipal speaker. Col. Walter W. Burns, cominand- ing officer of the 260th Anti-Aircraft Artillery of the District of Columbia National Guard, also spoke. Contending that wars are fought in greater part by younger groups, partly because of physical fitness and partly because of enthusiasm, the speakers, including Dr. Downs, may be sure that old and new friends will arise to help us. The world-wide significance of the con- flict is being realized in every land. Cites Roosevelt's Views. “You know how earnestly and vigorously the President of the United States has spoken in the name of humanity. There has been mobilized in the cause of freedom the conscience of the civilized world, | and tyranny will long remember the | power of that conscience and the final effect of the world's condem- nation upon the forces of evil.” Mr. Mackenzie King said attention hitherto had been centered on Ger- many as the sole enemy, but added that the coming phase of the war “will witness operations in entirely new theaters of war” and “will most | certainly be marked by conflict be- 13| tween nations that thus far have | escaped or avoided hostilities.” | Referring to a recent statement by | Britain’s Prime Minister, Winston | Churchill, that the New World would | carry on the fight if the worst should | befall England and France, Mr | Mackenzie King declared Canada would rise to the challenge of new responsibilities in the war. He disclosed that Canadian sol- diers now are guarding strategic areas in Newfoundland, easternmost | British possession in this hemis- | phere. Troops In North Atlantic. He said Canadian troops are serv- ing in the British West Indies and | the North Atlantic, but did not state whether by North Atlantic he meant !any area other than Newfoundland. “From the haYbor of Dunkerque {and from the citadel of Calais, the bravest men in the world battled their way home to fight once more for liberty and goodness and mercy,” he said “I speak the heart and mind of {our country when I say that every |fort in Canada will be another Calais and every harbor another Dunkerque before the men and women of our land allow the light and the life of their Christian faith to be\ extingpished by the powers of evil or yield their liberties to the tyranny of Nazi brutality.” Man Jailed for gp}ead Of Pro-Nazi Pamphlets By the Associated Press. ‘ LOS ANGELES, June 8 —Winton A.

One of the most important tasks now to be performed by the elder generations, the speakers agreed, is the suppression of subversive groups within the United States—particu- larly in Washington. It was con- tended that the young people can- inot do as well in this field because | they have a tendency to become “jittery.” Pleas for support of the recruiting campaign now being waged by the 260th Anti-Aircraft Artillery of the local National Guard were made by Gen. Fries and Dr. Downs—and it was agreed by an enthusiastic audi- | ence that everything within the power of Washingtonians should be done to get this regiment up to its proper strength. Gen. Fries, in recounting his World War experience, overseas with the A. E. F., in 1917-18, paid high tribute to the National Guard as citizen soldiery. Second Line of Defense. “We military men call the Na- tional Guard the civilian component | of our Regular Army,” Gen. Fries | said. “The National Guard is really our second line of defense. After intensive training the Nationa) Guardsmen can become good sol- diers. They did it in the World War. They can do it again.” In warning the people of Wash- ington against subversive elements known to be in the city, Col. Burns advised his hearers to “keep vour eves and ears open, and your mouth closed. And if you hear anything that smacks of disloyalty, note the inmn and place and write the words on paper and send them to the F.B. 1" $t.
