Lindbergh, his emissaries and tlie police still working behind a screen of secrecy from which there came no indication that the return of Charles A. Lindbergh, is any nearer.

A program of recommendations for the conduct of banks in the future, was offered by S. L. CanTey, state fi- nant'e commissioner, in an address before the conference of the savings hanks ditision of the American Association here today.

The conference was attended by bankers from the midwest and far west. Cantley's first recommendation was that the double liability of stockholders, applfcable only to national banks, should he ex- i tended to all banks and the additional par value should be paid up at the time of organization and set up as a reserve. Dividends, he said, should he eliminated until conditions are more favorable. Savings banks and commercial banks should be sepai-ated, except in small communities with only one bank, and then the savings and commercial departments should be distinctly separated. Savings hanks should accept deposits which a liberal time limit for withdrawal can be set, and time and savings deposits should be invested only in government or high grade municipal bonus.

Investment affiliates, he said, should be completely divorced from banks. He recommended that savings deposits pay, not intere.st. but dividends, the depositor to receive half of the earnings and the bank the other half. Loans of commercial hanks, he said, should be more strictly regulated, and loans to officers and directors should he refused, or so restricted as to be protected beyond all doubt. The finance commissioner said lie knew of few' failed banks in which officers and directors had not borrowed from the banks.

More rigid requirements for bank directors and more drastic regulation of duties are needed, he said. should be limited to the maximum legal interest rate fixed by tlie state, and surplus earnings should be placed in a reserve fund. said his recommendations opposed as too raflical, they would as at discussion.
