Nraer Leon Henderson received off

said recently that

Tet a check of the confidential estl
mates being made by the best busi
ness authorities indlcatet Mr. Hen
derson knew what ha was talking
about. The sources of these estimates
cannot be disclosed publicly, but you
may rest assured they are not grave
yard whistlers for the new deal.
They have confidential data show
ing the scope of the government's
spending plans. Solely on these fig
ures, they Judge that the fall rise
(September and October) will be
more than seasonal, possibly 7 per
cent more.
it
Is d
Exact figures on spending cannot be
published. All that can be said now
Is that the money will be pushed out
In Increasing quantltiea through the
AAA, PWA, and "other agencies."
As an Instance of what can be done:
The CWA method of direct band-outs
Is supposed to have been abolished
last spring, but right now the FERA
k Is passing out money under different
gvlses to a substantial portion of the
people who were living off the CWA.
There are unconflnnable Indications
' "FhsTas fhany 'asflOT.noO persons are
now being cared for, or will shortly
be cared for, through this device.
Farm purchasing power can be
maintained at a much stronger level
than the drouth would suggest. Farm
ers who have any crops will get real
prices for them. Those In the drouth
areas will be supplied money by the
government.
This money flow from Washington
will certainly he accelerated until
after the November elections. Then
winter relief arrangements will be
ready.
There Is much more underlying bit
terness against President Roosevelt
among big business men than has
been publicly expressed. For Instance,
the most popular book In financial
New York la one entitled "Prankls In
Blunderland." It was written anony
mously but Is published by a repu
table firm, appropriately with a red
paper cover.
Also, the financial air is filled with
f smoking room Jokes about the new
i deal, some of which are printable.
' Apropos of the federal deposit insur
ance and the popular song. "Of Thee
I sing." Baby." It Is related that Mr.
Roosevelt is cracking the bankers
with a ferule and requiring them to
yodel: "P. D. I Sing, Bcbbee."
Much of thla ssreasm comes under
a r arm fun. even If It Is
wio umu e -
not alwavs clean, and you find some
financiers taking a sympathetic atti
tude toward the government. One
financial wizard whose Judgment Is
as good as any, haa this very interest,
lng view:
a "I don't mind when the new deal
ssvs there are to be no profits for a
few years. I am not troubled when It
tells the fst fellows they will have
to live off their fat for a while. I do
not get aroused even when It decides
to make those who have money pay
half of It to the government In taxes.
I think all those are probably good
th''Bu't I do believe the time has come
for a chance of tactics on the part of
the administration. I think Its atti
tude Is all wrong.
T"The time his come to end uncer
tainty as much as possible and en
courage business to go shead. ror In.
etsnce. all the cards In soclsl Insur
ance legislation next aesslon should
be laid on the table. Bustneaa should
be permitted to know how much It
rosts are going to be raised by such
legislation. It also should ba per
mitted to know the extent to which
It Is going to be affected by tariff
policy.
"I do not ask that Mr. Roosevelt
change hie new deal. All I say la, let
us have It ind get It over with. Bust,
ness can readjust Itself to what la de
manded of It and then get started on
something like a permanent bssls.
'Until that Is done, I cannot see
ny end to uncertainty or any chance
for substantial progress."
The opinion Is general in the best
silver circles that the new silver policy
will hstrn the collapse of Europe's
gold blor. The retirement of Prance
from gold leadership haa been ex
pected as long, and Is yet considered
as certain, as Oeneral Johnson's re
tirement from the NRA.

Treasury Comptroller Ap
proves Plan for National
Banks to Purchase Partici
pating Interest in Loans
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. (AP)-
P. T. O'Connor, comptroller of the
currency, today approved a plan de
signed to facilitate the making of
government-Issued loans to property
ownera for alterations, repairs and
Improvements.
In an Interview regarding hta de
partments attitude toward the loans
now being made under the federal
bousing administration. O'Connor
said:
Banks May Buy Interest
"There haa been approved a plan
whereby national banks may purchase
participating Intereat in loans repre
aenting advances to property owners
for the purpose of making altera
tions, repairs and Improvements to
real property, which loana are In
sured under title I of the national
housing act."
The comptroller atatement coin
cided with an announcement by the
housing administration that It ex
pected to have lending facilities
available by the end of the week In
every community of the nation. Fin
ancial institutions with assets of al
most 95,000,000,000 have been au
thorized thus far to extend credit
for home modernization.
Made to Group
Further explaining the group loan
plan, O'Connor said:
"Such loana are made by or pur
chased by a corporation acting as
trustee for the participating banks,
such trustee having made applica
tion and been approved by the fed
eral housing administrator for the
credit lnaurance under the provisions
of aectlon. 3 of the national housing
act.
"Since loans which are held In
trust by the trustee are Insured up
to 30 per cent by the housing ad
ministrator, participating certificates
in such loans will not be classified
by examlnera as slow, doubtful or
loss until the losses exceed the 20 per
cent of insurance.
"Under the plan, the books of the
trustee are open at all tlmea for ex
amination and Inspection by the bank
examiners and participating banka."

FOR CROV
AS POSTAL FORGER
Evan L. Crow, charged with the
forgery of postal money orders, and
arrested Saturday night for govern

be given a hearing today before United
States Commissioner Victor Teng-
wald. A postal inspector arrived this
morning from Portland to question
Crow, who Is held in the county Jail
Government authorities stated that
"at least one other was Involved,"
but no arrests have been made, as yet,
Crow was arrested on a federal fugi
tive from Justice warrant. The al
leged money order forgeries occurred
In the northern part of the state.
At the June term of the circuit
court, Orow was indicted for "taking
an auto without permission of the
owner." The case was dismissed when
brought to trial before a Jury, on the
grounds of lack of evidence and In
tent. The complaining witness was
Perry L. Aahcraft, Ashland garage
man. Crow was sentenced to the state
penitentiary In 1931, for burglary not
in a dwelling, for two and one-half
years. The passing of this sentence
waa used by Agitators Fehl and Banks
as a basts of an abortive recall move
ment against Circuit Judge H. D.
Norton In the summer of 1033. The
case was cited as "a breakdown of
law and order." Crow was released
from the state prison last January.
Authorities state that Crow, over a
period of years, haa had entangle
ments wit hthe law and waa the bene,
