Addressing an meeting Tuesday night, Rep. Emanuel Celler, democrat, New York, said the chief executive had told him of his sympathy with American protests against the treatment of Jews in Germany.

Bank officials report that the Most encouraging sign in connec- 'Jon with the increase in deposits is the fact that numerous new depositors are opening small ac- jounts. This increase in the number of depositors is believed due to aumber of private and federal ivork projects undertaken in A.mes since January 1. These projects have afforded consider- ible employment to many who iiave been out of work -and savings are being placed on deposit.

"Of this total sum it is estimated that the farmer received but $7,566,000,000, and that it cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $11,500,000,000 to get the farmer's products to the consumer.
