Middle West Digging Out
Of Deepest Snows of
The Past Decade
Sub-Zero Temperatures
Extend to South and
Atlantic Coast
By The Associated Press
Cold continued to reign supreme
over a great portion of the United
States Saturday but the blizzard
which sent the Icy blasts as far
south as the Gulf of Mexico had
unent itji furv.
The middle west and Great Lakes
regions were digging themselves out
of one of the worst storms In a de
cade. Zero temperatures hampered
the snow removing process but most
transportation facilities, except on
Michigan highways, were back on
normal schedules.
Several southland states still re
ported freezing weather. The cold
wave was felt over the entire south
with the exception of southern Flor
ida and the Atlantic coastal states.
New England started repairing
the damage from several days of
sleet and Ice which broke down
trees and wires- and crippled both
transportation and communicauon
systems.
The middle Atlantic section wel
comed the chilly winds which dis
persed the fog and rain that had
hung over the region for days.
Chicago (IP) Winter, an unofficial
guest so far, observed the first day
of his official regime by settling
down as If for a protracted stay in
the middlewest.
Frigid weather was predicted for
Sunday and probably until Christ

Meanwhile, steps were being taken
to obtain opinions from the courts
and the attorney-general on tnc de
cision of the state democratic execu
tive committee, which barred Locke
and Heflin among others from com
peting in the next party primary.
The committee excluded as candi

LET'S SETTLE IT
We suggest that when this con
test to determine the town's out
standing citizen comes off, that the
following be put on the ballot.
Ellis Purvlne, the only man who
voted against the bridge bond issue.
Hal Pattern, the only man who
voted against the bridge bond issue.
Tims, the people in voting on this
question, could not only determine
the outstanding citizen, but also
could determine as well who really
was the only man who voted against
the bridge bond Issue.
TIP TO BOB HENDRICKS
We suggest to Bob Hendricks
when he starts taking the next
census, if he wants to get the
Scotchmen lined up. that he toss
a nlckle In the street.
This McEwan business at the Uni
versity of Oregon, like the Bag
shaw business at the University of
Washington, Is merely another in
dication that more and more foot
ball hounds are beginning to think
that coaches win the games In

ed out because he could not beat
some of the best football teams in
the world with two or three stars.
Don't forget tonight's the last

COMPTROLLER
URGES BRANCH
BANKING PLAN
Washington WP Urging the ex
tension of branch banking by na
tional banks as a way to assure a
safe and sound system to rural
communities, John W. Pole, Comp
troller of the Currency, said in his
annual report that such a devel
opment would be of advantage to
agricultural communities.
At the same time the comptroller
pointed to the growth ot group
banking, in which holding com
panies have acquired the stock ot
several banks, and the defections of
banks from the national field to
seek broader privileges under state
laws as reasons why the national
bank laws must be liberalized.
He said that total resources of all
of the 25.330 banks in the country
on last June 30 aggregated $72,172,
005,000. an increase of (598.177.000
over the previous year. National
banks numbering 7,506 were shown
to have total resources of $27,440.
288.000. a decrease of $1,063,000,000.
while the number of all banks had
decreased in the year by 883.
. Of the total resources, lie contin
ued, 250 banks in the cities had
recources of $33,400,000,000 while
three-fourths of the banks of the
nation were In country communi
ties and clas-ttd as country banks.
The country banks, he said, operate
with small capital funds and econ
omic developments since the war
have had the effect of decreasing
their opportunities to operate at a
profit.
On the question of bank failures
i-oie saw mat no "important iaii
ures" had occurred among banks in
larger cities between last January 1
and November 1 and that "whereas
a depositor in a large city bank,
whether a wage earner or a busi
ness man. has had full protection.
the depositor in the small country
bank has suffered severely from the
inability of so many banks to meet
their deposit liabilities."
Bankers Who Refuse
To Pay Taxes Backed
Tax Increase Plans
During the past several years when various matters came
up before the public for extraordinary expenditure of public
funds, either one or more persons connected with the banks
of the county have assumed an ac-
tive cart in the promotion of such ; Rations by co-operation with the
plans.
For instance the following might
be mentioned:
Enactment of an $850,000 bond
Issue for building of paved mar
ket roads.
Promotion of a plan for giving
Marion county a county agricultur
al agent
Promotion of plans for bonding
the city for sewers and bridces.

Boston (IP) The steamer Santa

steering gear and is "barely able to

This report was relayed to Tropi

urday by the United Fruit steamer
Toloa. one of three vessels speeding

Toloa was In direct communication

The Toloa was making all pos

RAIL MERGER
HALTS PLANS OF
NORTHERN LINES
St. Paul (IP) The proposed merger
ot the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific railways to the exclu
sion of the Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy, their, subsidiary as rec
ommended by the interstate com
merce commission Saturday left the
plans of the great northwest lines
very much In the air, rail leaders
declared.
Ralph Budd and Charles Don
nelly, presidents of the former lines,
agreed that nothing would be done
on their unification projects until
the full text of the Interstate com
merce commission report was thor
oughly studied and a decision made
by the federal government as to
what Is to be done. The presidents
assumed that the commission In the
face of its general report would
frown on the three way merger and
would Insist on the separation of
the Burlington before the Northerns
could consider consolidation.
"It has been rumored for some
time that the commission might
allow the consolidation or unifica
tion of the Northern lines," Don
nelly said, "provided they gave up
their ownership of tne Burlington
and the possibility of our having to
face such a situation, therefore, has
been recognized.
"The plan will, of course, be care
fully considered by the deposit
committee, consisting of J. P. Mor
gan, George P. Baker. Arthur Cur
tlss James, L. W. Hill and Stephen
Birch."
The Burlington, owned by the
stockholders of the two roads Blways
hM bn considered
an Invaluable

the two lines and the east by way
of the Twin Cities and Chicago.

Paris (LP) A memorandum con

on naval disarmament pertaining to
the five power conference in Lon

Copies were 6ent out simultan

sized the following points In the na
tion's attitude towards the London
conference:
1. Naval disarmament constitutes
only a part of the general probem
of limitation of armaments which
ought to be regulated by the league
of nations.
2. Naval, land and aerial arma
ments should be considered as in
terdependent. 3. The French demands for ton
nage will be based only on tne needs
of France.
4. The naval problem should be
considered from the viewpoint ol
guarantees of security necessary for

the cathedral for the bcautlflca

Sunday had forced a curtailment of
the ceremony.
The basilica was crowded when
the pope entered, borne on his se
dalla of state, and was adorned with
banners and hangings which lent
all the dignity of medieval times to
the scene. In the central nave, the
palatine guard, in picturesque cos
tume, was drawn up.
As usual, upon a state occasion,
a silver bell announced the arrival
of the pope, whereupon the thous

pope entered.
