NEW DELHI, India, Feb. -(JP Mahatma Gandhi is going to see -the viceroy again tomorrow in one last effort to straighten out the tuu-gled Indian political situation, but tonight it looked, as though their efforts to reach an agreement would fail.

This afternoon the working commit- tee of the All-India congress party voteu to reject the viceroy's terms of settlement and no one would say what the result would be. It was understood that the deadlock followed the government's refusal to grant Gandhi's demands that Indians be given the right to make their own salt. On this issue the viceroy hts said that the salt revenue law can lie changed only by the legislature. Lord Irwin also was said to be determined not to yield the right to boy- cott British goods, arguing that it would be unthinkable to permit the congress party or any other Indian group to tear down the British commercial trade which was 150 years in iur uuiiu.iif.. As for the mahatma's demand for an investigation of charges of police brutality, the viceroy offered a departmental inquiry into any specific charges but held that a sweeping investigation o' police acting under orders in dispersing congress demonstrations would break the morale of the entire force.

It was felt tonight that all hope of settlement between the congress end the government regarding the future status of India had been virtually abandoned by the congress party. PalaceG unsBoom A Empress Gives Birth To Sixth ADDIS ABABA. Abyssinia. Feb. 2S.

First Woman Student. Besides having the distinction of be ing a native of the state that tiro- duced such writers as Julia Peterkin, DuBose Heyward, Ambrose Gonzales, John Bennett and Archibald Rutledge, Mrs. Keith can also boast of the fact that she was the first woman student to enroll at the University of South Carolina. At this institution she received the foundation for her literary attainments, which had already found their first expression when little Frances Guignard Gibbes began to write her A C's.

Modestly yes, somewhat shyly did this brilliant southern woman tell of writing her first "pieces" and hiding them in a secret drawer of dresser. In recognition of her ability as well as her efforts for play writing Mrs. Keith has been awarded several prizes, among them being first prize offered by The State, leading newspaper in Columbia. Her three-act play. "The Strange Woman," won this Award.

Other prizes given by The State, of which the well-known dialect writer, the late Ambrose Gonzales, was president and editor, were won by Mrs. Keith withN her two intriguing one-act plays entitled "Jael" and "The Stranger." Honors accorded this southern writer stretch across the At lantic for only recently was she se lected by the editor of Nouvelle Lit-teraire, a French publication in Paris, to write her opinion of the influence of French letters. Her views were published in Nouvelle Litteraire with flattering comment. London Times Criticism. Mrs.

Keith's three-act play, "Hilda," received the following praiseworthy criticism in the book review column of The London Times: "It is a relief to take up an American- nook and discover not only no trace of elaborate striving for effect, but a production worthy of the Elizabethan tradition of noetic drama. Many fine touches of insight and pathos fill these pages. Nor can one give by quotation a true impression of the high level of poetic utterance throughout the play." Similar criti cism of "Hilda" and "The Face" has appeared in leading American newspapers. And from comment made by those members of the Friday Morning Reading Club who attended the meeting last naay at tne nome ot Mrs. Samuel N.

Evins and heard the manuscript read "Up There." Mrs. Keith's latest effort may well be' appraised as one which will make this southern writer a permanent figure in the literary world. Surely the secret of her success lies in the fact that she is absolutely void of literary self-consciousness. (ceding. Ilefiiu and Tlaukhead, facing each other across the committee table, agreed upon the conditions under which the contest will be handled.

I'mler the arrangement the county sheriffs will be directed to send all the ballot boxes to Washington by registered mail in their present condition and to report if they have been ojiened since the election and if eo under what circumstances. Heflin said he wauted to amend his petition for contest and would do so by April 1. At an earlier session of the committee. Senator Caraway, democrat. Arkansas, said Hefliu should be asked to particularize his charges because it would be impossible for any one to reply to such a broad declaration.

He said Heflin's contest was "a general loose charge that if the people had known what thev were doing they would have elected him." INSULL ORGANIZATION HONORS ITS FOUNDER CHICAGO. Feb. 2S. The In- full "family' bauqueted its founder night. Seven hundred men and women, executives of the power and light dynasty whicli Samuel Instill has welded out of public utility companies in 40 states, gathered in the Palmer House to honor their leader who was au irar-iigrant 50 years ago today.

It was a democratic affair, rich in reminiscence of that February day in ISM. when lil-year-old Samuel lusull came from London become a private secretary to Thomas A. Edison. To revive memories of that relationship Dr. Edison consented to address the celebration by tele-i 1 dione from his Fort Myers home, his words renching the bauquet- Only ay.

Money obtained from the credit corporations, Hyde explained, could be used just as if it had been obtained from any bank. The proposal of Senator Wheeler, democrat. Montana, for creation of a S100.000.000 emergency relief fund followed contentions of Senators Borah, republican, Idaho, and Copeland, democrat.

New York, that there remained time at this session to enact adequate legislation. Congress. Borah said, had shown a "lack of courage and purpose" in relief legislation, while Senator La Fol- lette. republican, Uisconsin, was of the opinion the senate abject render on the relief compromise had killed any chance of adequate legisla tion. After the debate, republican leaders contended the money already appropriated for drouth relief and about S500.000.000 for public construction, would take care of the sitnation.

The department of agriculture expected to be readv to entertain applications for loans from the fund Monday and that loans would be made the latter part of the week. Hvde said a committee would be set up in each of 21 drouth states to aid in administering the fund respecting agricultural credit corporations. That in Arkansas has been formed and will meet Monday. To direct loans to farmers, Hyde sh id be did not believe agricultural i rehabilitation meant the purchase of new live stocK, new macninery or improvements. ARKANSAS RELIEF AT TURNING POINT LITTLE ROCK, Feb.

28. (P) The turning point in the widespread feeding program of the American Red Cross in drouth-stricken Arkansas was reached tonight. Though relief work will go on, Albert Evans, disaster relief worker for the- state, estimated that, within the next two weeks, 00 per cent of the persons now dependent upon the Red Cross for food would be able to support themselves. The reason is the "furnishing' period starts tomorrow. March 1 is the date annually for merchants and banks to begin providing food, clothes and credit to the farmers on the crop for that year.

For the pa'vt few days, persons who for two months have been making biweekly trips to their nearest Red Cross relief offices for provisions have been telling the relief workers they will need no more supplies, Mr. Evans said. A rapid thinning out of the ranks of dependents is expected in the next I week or two. Mr. Evans said, and by tne enu or jaarcn ne estimated mat no more than 20 per cent of those now visiting Red Cross offices would still be coming back.

"It now will be possible for most of those who have received Red Cross aid in Arkansas to finance themselves through the usual credit machinery, supplemented by the federal seed and feed loans, agricultural credit corporation, the re-establishment of certain credits from bank and furnishing merchants." Mr. Evans -said. From now on, Mr. Evans said, the relief program will be scaled downward, the cases will be investigated more closely, and much of the work will be carried on with donated food supplies.

Adoption Next Session. In a statement made this afternoon, Representative Ramspeck said in ''My purpose in introducing this bill now is only to focus the attention of the people upon this subject rue nope mat tne next session of congress will adopt a measure for the protection of bank depositors. "Congress can legislate only for national banks and other banks holding membership in the federal reserve system. Last year more than 1,000 banks failed. While the money loss was enormous, the most serious effect, it seems to me, has been the fear engendered in the minds of the public toward all banking institutions.

"There are more than 24.000 banks in the United States. Approximately of these are members of the federal reserve system, of which 7.400 are national banks. In 1020 a total of 042 banks stis-. pended business. SI of which were members of the federal reserve svstem and 501 were not.

The percentage of federal Teserve banks suspended was less than 1 per cent, while the percentage of non-member banks failing was 3 1-2 per cent plus. This indicates a more healthy condition for those holding federal reserve membership. All Interested in Each. "Experience shows that the most important element in safe banking is the management. Membership in the federal reserve system adds another safeguard.

With an adequate depositors' guarantee fund, confidence would be restored to our banks and millions of dollars now out of circulation would flow back into the banks. "The. plan I have suggested would necessarily cause every member bank of the federal reserve system to become interested in the safety of each other member bank in the same district and this would cause laxity in management to be brought to the attention of the banking officials. The plan will take some time in which to accumulate the maximum fund in each district, but it places no cost upon the member banks. "Since the beginning of the federal reserve system the earnings, ntcr payment of dividends, that have been transferred to the surplus account amount to The similar earnings paid to the United States as franchise tax amount to $147,100,574.

Under the plan I have suggested, all of these earnings would be placed in the depositors' guarantee fund until such fund reached the maximum to be fixed by the federal reserve board. During the five years the annual net earnings have averaged more than twenty millions of dollarsso it Will be seen that under the plan suggested the guarantee fund would accumulate very rapidly. "I realize that this plan is not perfect. It will need to be studied and revised. It is my hepe that it will provoke discussion and studv which i will eventually provide a plan whereby i money deposited in a bank holding 5 membership in the federal reserve sys-; tern will be absolutely safe.

"As to the Atlanta federal reserve district, the effect of thjs plan is to place in the guarantee fund earnings which would otherwise go into the federal treasury as a franchise tax. since the Atlanta bank has nl refiflv attained 100 per centum surplus. This is also true of several other districts." NEGRO AVIATOR PLANS ATLANTIC HOP ALONE NEW YORK. Feb. 2.UPy Colonel Hubert Julian, negro aviator of Harlem and Abyssinia, who left Abyssinia after he had cracked up the king's favorite plane, announced today he would fly the Atlantic alone during the summer and would return by air to Abyssinia.

He said just before sailing for Bermuda that a special plane was being constructed for him at Wilmington, Delaware. His flight would be non-stop from New York to Spain, thence to Abyssinia, he said. Georgian's Bill Would Set Up Guarantee Fund To Pay Depositors of Liquidated Members. WASHINGTON. F.b.

2S. iSpe-1 cial. Representative Robert. Rnm-j speck, of Georgia, today introduced in the house a bill to amend the fodcr.il reserve act, which if enacted would, he believes, do three things: Safeguard depositors, restore confi- tience in Dankmg tacilities and also make membership in the federal re- serve sjstem more attractive to the banks of the nation. He does not expect any action to be taken at the present session of congress, but introduced the bill at this time in the hope that it would cause more or less discussion and lead toward action along the lines that he proposes at the next session of congress.

Under thf present law, after dividends have been paid, and a surplus created equal to 100 per cent of the capital stock of each reserve bank, the remainder is paid to the L'nited States as a franchise tax, with the exception of 10 per cent, which is added to the surplus funds. Bills Provisions. Tl.e Ramsp.ck bill would change this as follows "(A) Bv deposit into a guarantee fund in each federal reserve bank from which shall be paid losses of depositors in member banks that are hereafter liquidated in such federal reserve district. The federal reserve board shall make rules and regulations for the administration of such funds and shall establish a maximum amount therefor which shall be such per centum of the deposits held bv the nicnibtT banks in such district as in opinion ot tne lederal reserve board ill serve to safeguard such de- posits. This fund shall be invested by the directors of the federal reserve bank in each district in United States, state, municipal and county bonds, approved by the federal reserve board, and the earnings therefrom shall be added to said funds.

hen this fund has reached the maximum fixed by the federal reserve board in any federal reserve district, the member banks in such district shall be authorized to advertise that their deposits are safeguarded by such fund.

To eliminate poetic ornament but to maintain poetic atmosphere is the objective of Frances Guignard Gibbes, well known South Carolina writer of poetic drama, whose pen has produced a number of interesting plays. This fact was emphasized in an interview with the distinguished author of "Hilda," "The Face" and othtfr dramas while a visitor in Atlanta this past week. In social life Frances Guignard Gibbes is Mrs.

The transaction, in addition to setting the high figure for property sales of 1931 thus far, brought to the front again the names of principals who have lieen involved in the notably increased real estate activity that has marked the recent market trend. The Candler family, a member of which acquired the important Spring street corner in the current deal, has been increasing its investments in Atlanta at a steady and rapid rate.

During the past six months it has figured in a large number of major deals resulting in the purchase of several million dollars' worth of commercial and residential investment property. Likewise the Massell company and its subsidiaries have been principals in many of the large deals in the recent flurries of market activity, wfiilei the current transaction represents the third important deal announced by the Burdett Realty Company during the month of February. Two other sizable deals in which the company acted as agent during the month- were sale of the southeast corner of West Peachtree and Linden avenue for Mas-sell to II. T.

"I can see no reason why the two governments involved could not set up $50,000 for the work within a short time, and feel sure that Jones admirers and patriotic citizens would see that the other $50,000 is forthcoming," Mr. Simons said.
