Smith is a to be assessed $25 a share to help pay back the depositors, it was announced today by Joseph E. Broderick, State Superintendent of Banks. As the holder of about 7,000 shares, Mr.

Smith's concern will be required, under the State statutes, to pay to the superintendent $175,000. The concern had more than $1,000,000 tied up in deposits at the bank at the time of closing, most of which probably will be lost. Assessed $2,500,000 Apiece The Equitable Casualty and Suretv Company, recently thrown into bank- ruptcy, which held 6,000 shares, will be asked for $150,000, the same amount that Samuel Rosoff, millionaire sub way contractor, will be required to pay. Saul Singer and Bernard Marcus. respectively vice-president and president of the bank, will be required to put up $2,500,000 apiece, both men being holders of more than lOn.flnl) shares of stock, while other directors, including Isidor J.

Two Officials In Jail Singer and Marcus, both of whom are in jail, declared they have lost their entirs fortunes in the crash and their sole tangible assets today are their houses and estates.

Mr. Broderick's present move comes after severe criticism directed against him by die Republicans in New York State for his tardiness in handling bank failures generally. Recently Kingsland Macy, State Republican boss, has attempted, without success. to have Mr. Broderick's departmenl investigated by Samuel Seabury.

If this assessment move should fail there is further trouble ahead for trr directors of the bank in the shape suit for $40,000,000 brought by a grout oi depositors who allege that the af fairs of the bank were conducted V. legally and carelessly.

While the air attack was going on a detachment of rebels attempted to dis- embark at Port Tongoy for an attack on the aviation base at Ovalle, but were repulsed by the civil guards which had been stationed there for such an emergency. Blames Communist Chiefs A prisoner taken in this engagement said that most of the rebels in the fleet wanted to call off the revolt, but were induced to hold out by two lead ers who, he said, were Communists.

Raskob can give them. But they must have funds, not only to pay off past debts but also to start next year's campaign moving. When the Democratic National Com mittee met here In March it voted to launch a drive for funds this fall. The committee spokesmen have been non committal recently as to when this drive will start and it has been suggested in some quarters that in view of the campaign planned this fall for relief that it may be postponed until the winter. Legion Meeting Interests While all this is transpiring the American Legion is preparing to hold its annual convention later this month at Detroit.

It is expected to be a meeting filled with greater political signifi cance than any other the World War veterans have held because the Le- gionaires will vote whether they want their bonus certificates cashed in full by the Federal Treasury and whether they should take a definite stand on the prohibition question. In six States campaigns to fill seven vacancies in the House of Representa- tives are warming up. The results of these by-elections will be watched closely by political leaders for they will be regarded as barometers of what may happen next year. These campaigns will take place in Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan and two in Ohio. One of the Ohio contests will be for the seat left vacant by the death of Nicholas Long- worth, last Speaker of the House.

Democratic Race Still Open Although Gov. Franklin D. Roose velt of New York appears to have an insurmountable lead for the Demo- iv, icDiucnuat uuiluimLiuii, uic friends of such other candidates as Governor Ritchie of Maryland, Sen- ator Robinson of Arkansas, Owen Young, of New York, and Newton D. Baker, of Ohio, have not given up hope. Some of men, particu-l larly Governor Ritchie, will be heard I from frequently from the political! platform before the Democratic con vention meets in June.

The Progressive bloc in the Senate also is ready to spring into action be- fore Congress meets and provides the members a sounding board. The lead- of that group are now participat- ing in conversations to determine the feasibility of holding this fall a con- erence similar to the one they held in March as a means of getting their views before the country. Political Leaders Returning Political leaders of all parties and factions within a few days will begin arrive In Washington. Each will have something to say, some more vigorously than others, some will be critical of the Administration, others laudatory. With the beginning of the campaign every statement and every action of President Hoover will take on a new significance and will be appraised from the political viewpoint as well as others.

During the summer the Presi- dent has remained in the city and has a virtual monopoly of the national spotlight. Now he must share with others and it is expected that on oc- casion he will be attacked almost as soon as he acts or speaks. Senator Borah Idaho), the most forceable of the Progressives, is expected here the latter part of this week. When in the city Senator Borah holds a daily press conference where events of the day are appraised discussed. Senator Norris and Senator La Follette the.

most constant and effective the Progressives, also will be back within a few weeks. They will be prepared to propose programs of action well as to criticize what has been is being done.

That law increased the maximum loan value of the compen sation certificates from 22' per cent to 50 per cent. With the addition of loans made previous to the law, the total becomes $1,206,038,562.

Payment of the full face value of the certificates would entail a further disbursement of some 000,000, for the aggregate value of the certificates outstanding is $3,365,341,400, With the foregoing in mind, Administration officials have observed inter estedly the growth in membership of the veterans organizations during re cent months, and the simultaneous spread of the demand that the service certificates be paid at once and in cash. Increased memberships have been announced by all the principal veteran groups. The American Legion has, for the first time in its history, more than 1,000,000 members and its auxiliary numbers 500,000 women. The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States have added more than forty per cent, to their enrollment within a year. Legion Chief Favors Additional Benefits Enid, Sept.

7 (P-Ralph T. O'Neil, national commander of the American Legion, told Oklahoma Legionnaires today that Congress should go a step farther in veterans' legislation and make adequate pro vision for the wives and children of disabled former service men, The commander also said veterans who were financially disabled by World War service were entitled to consideration from the Government, adding that the Legion would press onward in efforts toward that end. Representative Garber, of the Eighth Oklahoma district told the State convention "the nation needs the Legion now as never before." He said he believed the next Congress would do whatever necessv for dependents of disabled veterans, "whether it receives the sanction of Andrew W. Mellon or not." Hoover Discusses Idle Relief With Garfield Otherwise, President Observes Labor Day At Camp With Rest And Recreation Luray, Sept. 7 President Hoover partly observed Labor Day to day by discussing with a former Cabi net member the problem of America's unemployed.

James R. Garfield, of Cleveland, for mer Secretary of the Interior and now member of the relief committee headed by Walter S. Gifford, conferred with the President on the question of helping the jobless. Otherwise, Labor Day brought a complete surcease of the duties and activities of the Presidential office. Early In the day Mr.

Hoover rode horseback along the forest trails of the Blue Ridge. Returning to the camp, he devoted other portions of the day to resting, reading and chatting with his guests.

This whetted Moyle's appetite and he said: "If it's all the same, make wine ham and eggs and corn cakes, with maple syrup." The flyers were in the cockpit a second afterward and the motor roared, drowning conversation. Lindbergh Expresses Hope For Flyers' Success Tokyo, Japan, Sept.

8 W) Col. Charles Lindbergh today expressed hope for the success of an attempt by Don Moyle and C. A. Allen to make a non-stop flight across the Pacific to Seattle. Although the Colonel did not meet either of the flyers, who spent most of their time at Tachikawa airport work lng on their plane, he said: The boys have all my best wishes.

It's a dangerous job they have under. taken." Then Lindbergh inquired concern lng the weather, particularly in the region of Puget Sound. Landing Weather Big Factor "The weather over the Aleutian Islands does not matter so long as they can keep going," he said, "but the important factor will be the weather Where two tired flyers will land." Hugh Herndon, who, with Clyde Pangborn, flew here from New York with several landings in Europe and Siberia, said: "Allen and Moyle deserve credit for fretting away in the face of great odds. They are nice fellows. My hat is off to them and I wish them all the luck In the world." Pangborn Joins In Tribute Pangborn also paid tribute to Moyle and Allen, saying: "The boys got away better than 1 expected.

To take to the air with such tremendous load was one of their greatest difficulties. Now, if they have an even break with the weather, they are pretty sure of success." The good wishes of Pangborn and Herndon for the success of Moyle and Allen were expressed despite the disappointment of the former pair in failing thus far to obtain permission from the Japanese Government to make a similar flight. They were fined recently for photographing Japanese fortifications on a flight from Khabarovsk, Siberia, to Japan. Grafs Homeward Trip Delayed By East Winds Friedrichshafen, Germany, Sept. 7 (P) Decorated as gayly as a vacationer returning from a summer jaunt, the Graf Zeppelin arrived at its hangar this afternoon from its strictly business trip to South America.

It carried freight, mail and sets of scientific instruments that had been tried out during the journey, but what interested welcomers on the field were the huge tuft of palm branches adorn ing the prow and a stuffed crocodile figurehead. These tropical souvenirs were none the worse for the severe lashing they got from east winds that delayed the Graf's homeward progress, increasing its running time almost ten hours over the seventy-one hours required for the outward journey to Pernambuco, Brazil. The Graf had experienced 216 homecomings, but today's No. 217 proved the big dirigible to be just as fascinat ing to the welcomers as ever. Enthusiasm couldn't be restrained and crowds broke through police lines when the ship's nose dipped ground ward.

The spectators followed all the way into the hangar. The problem of getting through the crowd was best solved by Commander Hugo Eckener, who walked the entire length of the ship and clambered out the rear motor gondola. Yon Gronau To Submit Trans-Ocean Mail Bid New York, Sept. 7 () Capt. Wolf gang von Gronau, German abator, who flew from Germany to Chicago across the northern circle route, came to New York tonight with the announce ment that he was ready to submit proposals for an intercontinental air-mail line to his German backers.

Ohio, a year ago, the Groenland Wal, in which he made his transatlantic flight, was berthed beside the DO-X, giant German seaplane. The Von Gronau ship left Cleveland at 12 noon and passed two hours later over Niagara Falls.

Previously the group had flown to the air meet from Chicago, where Von Gronau ended his ocean flight. Captain von Gronau will submit his recommendations for the Arctic mail and express line to Lufthansa (Ger man Flying Company) next week. He will recommend a route from Hamburg through Reykjavik, Iceland; Ivigtut, Greenland, and a point in Western Labrador to two terminals-Chicago and New York. 45 Houri Flying Time "Such a route would mean forty- five hours of flying between the Ger man and American terminals," he said. "With relay planes ready at each point, the transshipment of postal matter between the two countries should be swift and highly beneficial to trade." The distance would be 4,300 miles.

I in Proposes Hoover Call Con ference Aimed At Assuring Employes Their Jobs BOIU1I GIVES WARNING Says If Wealthy Do Not Feed Idle This Winter Dole System May Result IBy the Associated Press Ottumwa, Iowa, Sept. 7 William Green, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, proposed today that President Hoover call a national con fcrence of employers and employes to consider the industrial situation.

Mr. Green made the recommendation in his Labor Day address at a picnic here. The Presidential conference, he said, should point toward bringing about assurance to working men that they will be provided jobs during the coming winter. Would Release Credit Such assurance, he claimed, would break the psychology which now grips the country and would result in freer spending and use of credit, thereby setting business in motion. He also advised reexamination of the international debt situation.

Higher Income Taxes Suggested By Borah Cottonwood, Idaho, Sept. 7 (P) Sen ator Borah (Rep.) declared in an ad dress here today that the rich of the country must feed the unemployed during the coming winter, and warned that "if they do not do it voluntarily they will nevertheless do it." Accusing the governments of re sponsibility for the World War, "the result of which was to wreck the eco. nomic system of two continents," the Idaho Senator contended it was their duty to care for the impoverished and suggested an increase in the Fed eral income tax. Assails Armament Cost He asserted the burden of the peo pie was increased by the governments continued building of armaments and "reckless extravagance" which ha, reached the point where "taxes discourage thrift and menace legitimate business, where the expenses of gov ernment have made home building a luxury." The address was delivered at the dedication of a monument to seven teen volunteers in the Nez Perce Indian War who July 1877: r.t a desperate battle against 15L iBdmen that nonplussed the savages and turned the war in favor of the whites. Points To Hoarded Money "As we approach winter the task of taking care of these men and women and their dependents is uppermost in our minds," Senator Borah said, re ferring to an estimated s.OOO.ouu or 6,000,000 unemployed in this country and 20,000,000 in the world.

"How is it to be done? Food is going to waste. There is plenty of money in the country, hoarded and idle. When the Secretary of the Treasury offered certificates for sale to the amount of some $800,000,000 they were oversub scribed many times. "If the wealth of the country," he said, "does not voluntarily contribute to the end that we may take care of them, there is only one thing to do, and that is to feed those people from the Treasury of the United States and increase the income tax, particularly in the higher brackets, to enable us lo do it. Cites Couzeni' Gift If the public dole system is es tablished in this country, it will be forced by those who, having the means, refuse to do their part in feeding the hungry." He cited a donation of $1,000,000 by Senator Couzens as an example of what may be done to alleviate the suffering.

Senator Wagner Urges Two Billion Program Syracuse, N. Sept. 7 OP) A 52,000,000,000 Federal construction program, in addition to normal activity, so as to provide prompt employment for over 1,000,000 men, was advocated by Senator Robert F. Wagner, of New York, in the principal Labor Day address at the New York State Fair opening today. State and local effort alone in meet ing the prosent unemployment situa tion, he said, will prove insufficient.

Would Modify Dry Law He also urged withdrawal of a "mil lion children under 16 years of age who are holding jobs which ought to be filled by their fathers, their elder brothers and sisters," by strengthening legislation to keep the children school and having industry itself realize the wrong done the child and the adult both by these children working. Modification of the Volstead act within the limits of the Constitution, with an expected "substantial" addition to employment, was cited as a third measure of relief. Optimism Expressed By Secretary Of Labor Johnson City, Sept. 7 (m A belief the United States will stand upon "the substantial plane of pros perity once more "before long" was expressed here by Secretary of Labor Doak in a labor address at the Appalachian Tri-State Fair. Emergence from "our present diffi culties," he predicted, will be brought about "as a result of the strivings of men of thought' and action." He said he was "an extreme optimist so far as holding the view that Americans will solve any problem with which they have to deal." I to Br w.

But you don't have to know anything about banking to know that the bankers have driven the farmers, the merchants, the laborers and the manufacturers to despair and the end of their corrupt kind of economics is coming right fast, boys, right fast." Wants Tariff For Farmers He drew a lesson from the experience of Xerxes, the Persian conqueror, who raised a victorious army of men only to see his empire weaken because the men he made into soldiers had first deserted their plows. No bankers on the Federal Reserve Board and a tariff on all raw materials on the farm went into Alfalfa Bill's platform. Increase foreign trade by all means, he bellowed, but increase it in Latin-America rather than in Europe.

Once the Moses of the Cimmaron played Moses to a host of Oklahomans and led them to Bolivia as a new land of promise. Everybody came back broke, including Moses but he made no reference to that failure this after noon. "I've called the militia out twice in my own State in defense of the working man," he cried, and again he was given a full minute's ovation. Returning again to the plight of the farmer. Alfalfa Bill observed: "Civilization begins and ends with the plow.

When the plow turns at the end of the furrow with a profit, that works for civilization. You can't trust to big mergers or big monopolies to sprinkle prosperity about the country.

He took the American voters to task for giving their support to "the man who jollies us under the chin." "Remember," he said, "the man who promises most, fulfills the least When you hear of a business man candidate, look carefully and you'll find some utility behind him trading trading for its own advantage.

OPPOSE PENSIONS ON CHARITY BASIS Spanish War Veterans Plan Formal Stand Against "Pauper" Legislation CONGRESS COMMENDED Praised For Overriding White House Vetoes Order Of The Serpent Celebrates IBy the Associated Press New Orleans, Sept. 7 Steps to place the United Spanish War Veterans on record as being unalterably opposed to "pauper" or "needs" clauses In Fed eral pension legislation were taken at the annual convention of the organiza tion here today. A resolutions committee met to shape a proposed formal stand after Rice W. Means, former Republican Senator from Colorado and a past national commander of the Veterans, sounded a warning that "there is al ways a chance of slipping over a piece of legislation which would rob you of the rights you now possess." Vetoes Are Criticized After criticizing recent Executive vetoes of pension legislation and laud ing Congress for overriding them, Means predicted the possibility of the "pauper clause" being revived as an issue in the next Congress.

He asserted propaganda to this end was being disseminated widely, and ad. vised the veterans to present a solid front against "putting pensions on a charity basis. There is a gemf al misunderstand ing, he said, that pensions once granted are permanent, and he de clared the Bureau of Pensions might any time order a general reexamination of pensioners for the purposes readjustment.
