NEAL ADDRESSES RIGGS BANK STAFF Banker and Advertising Ex pert Stresses Ways of Gaining Good Will. BY EDWARD C. STONE. About 300 officials and other em ployes from the main office and the branches of the Riggs National Bank heard a vigorous address last evening on the value of closer public relations by William H. Neal, vice president of the Wachovia National Bank & Trust Co. of Winston-Salem, N. C., who has just been elected president of the Financial Advertisers’ Asso ciation. The meeting was at the Wardman Park Hotel. George O. Vass, vice president and cashier, called the staff gathering to order and introduced the presiding officer, George Dagenais, newly elect ed chairman of the Customers’ Rela tions Council, which was organized at the bank two or three years afco. In addition to the guest speaker, President Robert V. Fleming made timely remarks in the way of greet ings. Mr. Neal spoke on the “Interpreta tion of Banking.” He stressed inter pretation of banking to the public, especially by banking employes. They are in a position to be of unlimited value to their institutions partially be cause there are so many more gen eral employes than officers. Employes should have as much in formation ns nonnihlp ahnnt. overv Hp. partment of their banks, methods of operation and the reasons back of banking practices. Many employes in bookkeeping and similar departments have no contacts with the outside pub lic while on duty. Outside, they have a host of friends. These associates look to them as bankers and as in terpreters of banking. If employes fail to sell their banks to their friends, these prospective cli ents may feel that the banks are only ordinary institutions. If the em ployes keep fully informed on bank ing subjects and progress, they can render wonderful service and always be in line for steady advancement, Mr. Neal declared. Cost Experts Hear Miller. Nelson A. Miller, assistant chief of the marketing research division, Bu reau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce, at the opening Fall session of Washington Chapter, National As sociation of Cost Accountants, last night at the Hamilton Hotel said that the majority of small stores in the country', although they have need for the benefits of up-to-date cost accounting control, are not in a posi tion to take advantage of scientific cost-control methods. Mr. Miller stated that the small retailers who can recognize the bene fits to be derived from proper ac counting control and up-to-date mer chandising records and methods are exceptions, and that the small deal ers who need most attention are often . those who Ere the least likely pros pects lor the cost accountant. He stated that the more progressive merchants who are doing a good job of retailing in their respective classi fications are the ones most likely to be receptive to up-to-date methods in not only account procedure but in all phases of merchandising. Mr. Miller was assisted in his dis course by W. H. Meserole of the same division of the Department of Commerce. The subject developed at the meet ing dealt with the practical appli cation of scientific costing methods developed for the use of druggists in the St. Louis Drug Survey. Banking for Women Is Uurged. Mrs. Stella Akin, special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, lauded banking as a career for women in an address before more than 100 women connected with Washington banks at the Mayflower Hotel last night. The occasion was the annual dinner of the Women's Committee of Washington Chapter, American Institute of Banking. Of all the professions more en couragement is given women in banking than in any other, said Miss Akin. Since this is true, there are splendid opportunities for women en wring the banking field, the speaker added. And those who do become proficient in banking can do a great deal for other women along the lines of financial guidance, she said Miss Akin stated that women with legal minds have extra good oppor tunities for advancement in trust departments. Bank officials every where are giving them a chance and ' finding their work of great value to the banks, she continued, concluding by calling attention to the training courses offered by the Institute of Banking and the Importance of tech nical knowledge as the only road to success. Mrs. Myrtle P. Lewis, Liberty Na tional Bank, chairman of the Wom en’s Committee of Washington Chap ter, presided. Other speakers in cluded Thomas J. Groom, hear’ of the District Bankers’ Association; Dean Raymond B. Dickey, institute faculty; W. H. Laughlin, chapter president, and Paul J. Seltzer, Educational Com mittee chairman.

BY VICTOR EUBANK. Associated Press Financial Writer. NEW YORK, September 23.—Feeble rallies failed to hold in today's stock market and late selling knocked lead ers down 1 to 4 points, with a few suffering more pronounced declines. Offerings were exceptionally light most of the day, but buyers could be tempted only with sizable concessions. Greatest activity was in the last lap, when prices were retreating. Retarding influences, brokers said, were America’s stiff note to Japan on the Nanking bombing, possibly pre saging imminent application of the neutrality act and further cutting commerce with the Orient; a revival of doubts concerning corporation earn ings in the light of mounting costs, and the general inability of the mar ket to follow through on recovery moves. Some traders shelved commitments pending the President's expec’ed speech at Cheyenne tomorrow. Others shied away as a hint was dropped by Secretary Morgenthau of mutual action by the United States and England to curb "hot money" excursions through taxation. Transfers approximated 800.000 shares. The share list wa? "thin" through out, changes of 1 to 2 points being frequent on a single sale. Wide gaps existed between bids and offers in many issues, especially high-priced preferreds, several of which fell sub stantially. United States Steel. Bethlehem and Chrysler contested the trend for a time, but fell later with the rest. Westinghouse dipped sharply, al kui/ugu umu*quauci iOr this company were believed to be the best for any similar period in several years.
