BANKS SHOWING
STRONG RECOVERY
WASHINGTON. Dec. 28 IIP)—Vig-
orous recovery from the 1933 bank
crash and the fewest failures In 14
years will be reported by bankers in
year-end condition statements to be

billions of dollars in new deposits.
There has been continued contrac-

a billion dollars »n government cash
has been poured into banks. All have
Increased their go"ornment security

This revival is expected to be shown
in figures when government agencies

sponse to a call expected to be made
as of December 31.

14.200 of the country's 15.600 member

The year-end call by state banking
superintendents for condition of all
banks not under federal Jurisdiction
likely will coincide T^ith the call of the
FDIC.
Bankers were confronted with a
steadily rising agitation for legisla-
tion calculated to gt.ve the federal
government widening power over
them They pointed, in reply, to a
record of fewer than 75 bank closings
this year, involving less than $40,000,-

had or shortly will have their smaller
deposits "made good" by the FDIC.

Oov -elect E W Marland outlined
today it plan tinder which 50.000 Okla-
homans cculd build homes with fed-
eral aid and pay for them at $15 a
month.
He also said he would ask the
legislature to create a state planning
board, with the governor as chairman,
to keep in contact with the national
recovery program in all Its phases
affecting Oklahoma
The governcr-elect raid the idea for
such a boaid ha I been approved by
Vincent M Miles, district chairman
cf the national research board, who
was here recently.
Marland believed the government
wculd supply as much as $100.000000
for a home-buildniif program In the
state If the state would supply home
sites.
The housing board, creation of
which will be promised in his first
message to the legislature, would have
authority to buy land and make
necessary provisions lor home loans
and home building projects. Mar-
land said he would suggest that ar-
rangements be made for use of as
much FERA labor as possible. In the
construction work.
Rep James V. McClintic. Snyder,
retiring seventh district congressman,
Is in Washington and will bring
back a rejxjrt on the extent of fed-
eral aid which may be expected on
a housing program Rep W E Dis-
ney. Tplsa. then will act as Marlands
spokesman in negotiations with F*resi-
dent Roosevelt to obtain money.
The governor-elect was hard at.
work today on his first message to
the legislature. He said it would in-
clude recommendations for creation
of a flood control board, a board on
new industries and decentralization
of Industry, and a new highway com-
mission.
The flood control board would be
authorized to buy land for secondary
lake and dam sites, irrigation ditches
and other projects. Marland said he
hoped the government Itself would
acquire all the land needed for federal
projects.
The board on industry would co-
operate with the federal government
In decentralization activities and would
work with B 8 Oraham. Marlands
new state industrial agpnt. In urging
concerns In the east—imsslbly textile
mills—to locate in Oklahoma.
Each board would have three mem-

NEW STATE BUDGET
GROUP CUTS EXPENSES.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Dec 28 (LP)—
Gov.-elect E W Marlands unofficial
budget committee continued today to
pass out disappointment to heads of
state departments and institutions
Tile "new deal,” It developed as the
committee proceeded with Its work,
will be a stiff brake on spending,
rather than an era of expansion and
higher expenditures.
As Maj Eugene Kerr, chairman of
the committee, explained the first
day's work, budget requests were slic-
ed and hacked wherever possible. Stale
departments' requests were pared
$400,000. and requests of institutions
will be reduced nearly $5,000,000. to
about the level of current appropria-
tions.
Such a course precludes many con-
templated new buildings, salary in-
creases. and expansions of services.
Salary rulings of the supreme court,
w hich added $300,000 to the amount to
be paid out in the present biennium,
will be regarded by the committee In
Its budget recommendations. Kerr said

that therr Is a foundation not only

Richhergh Says Relief Load Is Less Than Year Ago
PLAN MOVE TO
RESCUE HOLLINS
FROM EXECUTION
CLEVELAND. Dec 28 (LP)—Recov-
ery coordinator Donald R. Richbcrg
in an addrers opening the Cleveland
civic exposition said today that the
federal relief load this winter is
running about 2.000.000 cases below
last year.
Richberg said that "contrary to
common misunderstanding.' the size
of the relief load was diminishing
slowly but surely.
"It has been a mistaken habit to
compare the relief roll of last year
with that of this year.” Richberg said,
‘•ignoring the fact that in addition
to last year's relief roll the federal
government carried over 4.000.000 per-
sons in the civil works administra-
tion.
"This year all cash relief and work
relief is canted on the federal emer-
gency relief roll."
He pointed out that relief rolLs had
failed to rise substantially as might be
expected during October. November
and December This, he said, "is the
most heartening indication of a per-
manent chain in employment that
could be presented.”
Richberg. reflecting relief adminis-
trator Harry L. Hopkins' announce-
ment that tlie problem of unemploy-
able persons would be turned back to
local agencies, said that "as to the
meaning of this relief problem. It is
not a problem of taking care of un-
employable or unwilling workers.”
“Thai problem.'' he said, "may be
one that eventually can be referred
back to the states and local govern-
ments But the man who talks about
referring the problem of several mil-
lion capable, earnest idle workers back
to overburdened states and cities for
local solution simply does not know
what the problem Is."
Richberg attacked suggestions, such
as that presented by the U 8. Cham-
ber of Commerce and National Asso-
ciation of Manufacturers that n dole
be substituted for work relief.
"There are today a large number of
business men,” he said, ' who were
opposed to the dole two years agoj
because of its cost, snd who now favor1
the dole because it will cost them
leas, than to give men work.
"I think that Is a very short-sighted
view It isn't always sound business
Judgment to pay the cheapest price
for a thing. And it is often very bad
political Judgment to buy the cheapest
protection of national security We
may have some reasonable fears of a
loreign foe, but the gravest dangers
that threaten America are those of
internal dissension
"Perhaps It might be cheaper even
In a money sense to find work for
these idle hands to do than to sup-
port the aimies necessary to hold
them back If once those millions of
pleading fingers were turned Into

OKLAHOMA CITY Dec. 38 (IP)—
E. T. Barbour. Oklahoma City attor-
ney. today was planning a hurried
trip to Washington. D. C., in an at-
tempt to save Jess Hollins, negro,
from death In the electric chair at
McAlester next Friday night.
Hollins was convicted on a criminal
assault charge filed In Creek county.
The verdict was returned In Okmul-
gee county where the trial was held
on a change of venue
The criminal court of appeals af-
firmed the conviction and set the
execution date, and apparently Hol-
Pns' only hope now is for his attor-
ney to get a hearing before United
States supreme court
Their contention, if an appeal is
permitted, will be that negroes were
kept off the jury because of a racial
prejudice.

The state bar turned Che searchllghg
of criticism upon itself today and
assumed the burden of reform.
"The very existence of the judicial
branch of government is threatened."
Charles B Cochran, Oklahoma City,
state president, told 500 lawyers gath-
ered for the bar's fifth annual meet-
ing.
"Self-preBervatlon demands that we
assume th leadership in overhaul-

Cochran joined Chief Justice Fletch-

He told of a study being made by a
bar committee on criminal law and
its enforcement.
"It Is apparent from a surrey made
that, aside from Oklahoma City and
Tulsa, our principal crime problems
center around the protiibtUon laws
of the state.” the governor's report
said.
"As compared with many other
states we have no organised crime at

is still much room for improvement

INSURANCE LAW .
CHANGES SOUGHT
BY JUDGE DOYLE
OKLAHOMA CITY. Dm 3A <UM-
Judge Thomaa H Doyle, retiring
chairman of the state industrial com-
mission. today prepared to a* for
far-reaching changes In the state In-
dustrial insurance taw.
He reported to Oov W. H. Murray
that the assets of the Industrial fund
have reached a peak of nearly $400.0$O
through a process of steady growth.
Doyle will recommend to Oov. -elect
E w Marland and the legislature,
he said, that a constitutional amend-
ment be launched, to permit the fund
to pay death benefits.
He estimated that with death tena-
nts payments the fund would grow
considerably, and provide a much
more equitable typ$ of Insurance.
Section 7. article 13 of the con-
stitution, which specifies that nn
limit shall ever be set on the right
to recover for injuries resulting In
death, precludes any possibility of the
state fund fixing a limitation on death
benefits, as it now stands. Doyle said.
It is this section he would amend.
Doyle will also recommend that the
state borrow about $900,000 from the
commission, to construct a new build-
ing. on the capital acreage, to hmae
the industrial commission, the insur-
ance commission and the highway
commission
The Industrial commission chairman
will become a member of the stste
criminal court of appeals, on which he
