FINANCIAL News Canadians Search For Eielson REGULATIONS TOO DRASTIC, IS REASON Seventy-five Per Cent Reduction In Local Loans Too Much. 34SlfllES WASHINGTON, Dec. 27--AP) -The resignation of Secretary Mellon was demanded as the first step in a "clean up" of prohibition enforcement today by Senator Norris of Nebraska, a Republican dry, who joined with Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, in condemning the personnel of the enforcement service. The Nebraskan blamed "polities' in the enforcement service for what he described as the "failure" of enforcement.

When asked where he would start in reorganizing he replied quickly "with Andrew W. Mellon." "I don't say the law is not en-' forced everywhere," said Norris, vv'ho is chairman of the judiciary committee, "but I do say it is not generally enforced and I think there is evidence that the politicians are meddling too much. I don't think Andrew Mellon, who is the chief enforcement officer, is in sympathy with the law. I don't demand prohibition cranks." "In fact I don't want any cranks in the service but I want an administration of that law which is free from political influence." The prohibition stonn continued to rumble in the capital today, Senator Jones, Republican, Washington, calling upon the law enforcement commission to urge an early report by it. However, the Republican dry leader failed to find Chairman Wickersham and a majority of his commission on hand and he made an appointment for a return call early next week.

The investigation into the re ported diversion, three Chicagc newspapers said yesterday, was si widespread in scope as to includ' more than 1.000 business men, pro hibition officials, politicians an bootleggers.

Alexander Jamie, chief of th Washington prohibition unit, an his undercover agents are given credit for the expose of the diver- sion. However. Mr. Jamie told the Associated Press that "as far as I know, there isn't any particular truth to the report." On the other hand, United States District Attorney George E. Q.

Johnson, gave, both denial and admission, saying: "What there is to it is before the grand jury and cannot be discussed. But I can say that what there is to it is nothing at all like the report in the papers." "The report in the papers" referred to was accounts of the case carried by the Times, News and Post, which said the liquor was diverted into the channels of a liquor syndicate that operated throughout the middle west and from New York to Denver.

S. Emmerson, president of the National Bank of Davis, announced today the institution would surrender its national charter and be- como a state bank effective January 1. Demands of a federal examiner for a 75 percent reduction in local loans of the bank precipitated the decision to quit the reserve system, Emmerson said. "Federal banking has reached a point where we must withdraw or quit business," he asserted. Emmerson said he had protested the examiner's action to Senator W.

B. Pine and that Pine had told him the plight of the Davis bank was characteristic of banking conditions existing generally throughout the state. The Davis banker said the examiner had ordered his bank to cut its local loans from $175,000 to not more than 540,000. Emmerson said he protested that such action probably would work a hardship on this community and that the examine: replied: "To hell with the community; yon are here to make The banker said his institution had deposits of approximately $300,000 and a capital of $25,000 when the examiner made his demand.

LOUIS, Dec. 27--(AP)-- MacLeay, secretary of the sissiispi Valley Association, today, 'expressed confidence that army ngineers will report; favorably to Congress on the practicability of a standard gauge nine oot. channel in the upper Missis- iippi River. The report is to be iUbmitted soon. He said the engineers already lave been supplied with evidence iha'i traffic will be sufficient to jus- the expenditure by the government, and that the common carriage on the river can be maintained at rates yielding public-savings in freight and attract private capital.

MacLeay declared that -traffic of the river towns alone, exclusive of coal, will support an additional in- vestment of approximately $100,: 000,000. He added that adoption by this Congress of a standard nine- foot channel project in the upper Mississippi from St. Louis to Min- neapolis and St. Paul will mean the project can be completed in five years or less. "When the report of.

the engi- neers is presented," MacLeay said, "the fate of the upper Mississippi River will be in the hands of the national congress. Twenty four r. states await the completion of this as a most important part of the Mississippi system of inland waterway which, when completed, will serve directly a of 1,240 000 square miles and lower the i freight bills of the entire nation."

27--(AP)-Killed by monoxide gas, the bodies of Hillard Hibbard, 18, of Baxter Springs, and Miss Naomi Sanders, 18, of Grove, were found today in the youth's roadster on the White Water Road, about five miles south of here. The couple had been dead about eight hours. Hibbard, the -son of Walter Hibbard, widely known Baxter Springs dairyman, was married. "With his wife, the former Frances Stanley of Lincolnville, the youth had been living on his father's dairy farm. Miss Sanders was the daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. William M. Sanders of Grove. Authorities have learned that Hibbard met Miss Sanders at the home of a cousin, seven miles south of Grove, and left there at 9 o'clock last night, enroute for Grove. It is believed a flat tire caused the couple to wait until day light for aid.

The heater on the automobile was open and the ignition switch was on when the bodies were found. The motor was not running, however. IS A (31FT roTHE.
