LOANS IS CONFIDENCE AID (Contlnucd From Page Three) r The administration, which had op pose the publicity, - maintained . a watchful attitude, fully ready to blame the Democratic control of the house for the legislation if bad re sults should follow. The report given out yesterdoy, cov ering the brief period from July 21 when the relief bill became law, to August 1, showed 437 loans totaling $45,057,556, of which $32,900,180 was to banks. A quick denial by the Bank or Am erica National Trust and Savings as sociation at San Francisco that It had received $3,800,000 listed as a loan made to It, drew attention to a dis closure by the report that loans to taling $223,862,500 have been author ized but not drawn upon by the bor rowers. This figure Is for the entire period Blnce the corporation began functioning. ' t Of the total, banka and trust com panies were debited with $118,681,610 which they had not found It neces sary to draw from the reconstruction finance corporation. The big Call fornia bank, through A. P. Glannlni, chairman of the board, said that since application for the loan wa3 made "conditions changed for the better and we decided we did not need the money." It appeared likely many other banks had decided similarly. Of the remain. lng money undrawn, such was allotted to railroads which receive it only as needed for retirement of bond issues or expenditures for improvements. QUICK !

She de scribed their living conditions as al most unbearable and tho many gen erations that havo lived in the back woods with no Introduction of new blood havo made them a very primi tive people.
