Garfinckel Store
Directors Declare
Common Dividend
Quarterly Payment
On Preferred Stock
Is Also Voted
By EDWARD C. STONE.
Directors of Julius Garfinckel & I
Co., whose preferred and common
stocks were recently distributed pub
licly, following the sale of the busi
ness by the estate of the founder,
today declared an initial dividend of
17 % cents per share on the com
mon stock of the company, payable
December 15, 1939, to stockholders
of record December 5, 1939. In an
nouncing this initial dividend, the
directors stated that it would be
their policy to declare such divi
dends henceforth on a quarterly
basis, contingent upon earnings.
At their meeting, held in Wash
ington, the directors also declared
the regular quarterly dividend of
1*2 per cent on the company’s $25
par value preferred stock, payable
December 31. 1939, to stockholders
of record December 15, 1939.
William E. Schmid, president,
stated that the store's sales volume
is currently running substantially
ahead of the corresponding period
last year.
Veteran Bank Director Dies.
The death of D. J. Kaufman, 77,
noted elsewhere in today’s Star,
caused deep regret in the financial
district. He had been a director of
the Union Trust Co. for 32 years and
was a member of the Executive
Committee, and had been on the di
rectorate of ’the Columbia National
Bank for 28 years. He was founder
of the clothing business at 1005
Pennsylvania avenue N.W.
Mr. Kaufman was greatly inter
ested in finance and kept up with
all the latest developments in bank
ing. Tributes were paid him today
by Frank J. Stryker, president of the
Columbia National, and Ord Pres
ton, head of the Union Trust Co.
One of the sustaining members of
Washington Chapter. American In
stitute of Banking, he showed in this
practical way his concern in the ed
ucation of young bankers.
Hanes Urges Banking Caution.
Robert M. Hanes, president of the
American Bankers' Association,
speaking at a bank management
conference the other day, said that
the banks are now- entrusted with
the safeguarding of 65 billions of
deposits. Bankers have an in
escapauie responsiomiy, ne saia, 10
discourage all tendencies toward in
flation and to use every effort to
direct the use of credit into proper
channels so that the unfortunate
reactions that followed the first
World War may be avoided. Mr.
Hanes continued:
"The current movement that seeks
to set up Government banks to
make loans direct to small business
and thereby socialize the American
banking system constitutes a very
real challenge to all bankers. Bank
ers do not object to any legislation
that enables chartered banks to
operate more UjS»fully if the niles
of safety are not violated. In fact,
they expect a larger measure o*
regulation than almost any oth
form of business because of the
vital public interest involved.
"But Government regulation of
banks is one thing and Government
ownership and operation is quite
another. If free enterprise is to be
maintained we must maintain a free
and independent credit system. The
granting of credit must be moti
vated by principles of sound credit
procedure rather than by political
expediency.”
Transit Stock Hits New High.
Capital Transit stock scored an
other new high mark on the present
move on the Washington Stock Ex
change today. The market opened
with 22 shares selling at 14 and
closed with 28 more changing hands
at 14tk. The final bid was 14U writh
lo'-2 asked.
Capital Traction 5s were strong
again today, $1,000 moving at 96H,
a new 1939 high. Ten shares of
Lanston Monotype stock sold ex
dividend at 3312
Storage Dividend Declared.
Directors of the Fidelity Storage
Co. have declared a dividend of $2
per share on the outstanding stock,
payable on December 15, President
David B. Karrick announced today.
inis wiu oe the fourth regular $2
dividend paid by the company dur
ing 1939.
Dun & Bradstreet reports that
building permits issued in Wash
ington in the first 10 months
amounted to $33,485,511. This was a
rise of 33 per cent over the $24,462,
000 in the January-October period
in 1938. The gain in the Capital far
exceeded the average for the coun
try as a whole, which amounted to
8.8 per cent.
Bragg Addresses Underwriters.
James Elton Bragg, well-known
lecturer on life insurance, who is
manager of the New York office of
the Guardian Life Insurance Co.,
was the guest speaker at the Novem
ber luncheon of the District Life
Underwriters' Association at the Wil
lard Hotel this noon. He spoke on
"Reasons for Buying Life Insurance.”
About 200 members of the associa
tion were present, President Joseph
A. Marr presiding.
Another Peak in Credit.
The statement of reporting mem
ber banks for November 1 showed
total loans and investments of $22.
728.000.000, which is another new
peak since the credit expansion be
gan in the summer of 1938. The
present volume of earning assets,
says Fitch's Market Review, is now
only slightly under the high point
of $23,000,000,000, which had been
reached at the end of 1936. A gain
of $71,000,000 in the week of No
vember 1 resulted principally from
expansion of loans, including an in
crease of $18,000,000 in business
loans and an extension of $10,000,000
In credit to brokers and dealers in
securities.

Erie Cites Earnings
In Reorganizing Plans
By the Associated Press.
Tire Erie Railroad told the Inter
state Commerce Commission today
that sharp improvement in earn
ings recently had justified fully its
own proposal for reorganization.
Edwin S. S. Sunderland, counsel
for the Erie, who made its argu
ment in support of its reorganiza
tion plan, said the bankrupt railroad
likely would have $12,500,000 income
available for charges for 1939. The
Erie’s reorganization plan provides
only $6,484,537 in annual fixed
charges.
Because of improved conditions,
Sunderland said he thought $14,
000. 000 of new money would be ade
quate to carry out the reorganiza
tion.
The Erie’s original plan called
for $21,500,000, while Milo Brinkley,
1. C. C. examiner, recommended
$18,000,000.
The three plans before the I. C. C.
—that by the Erie, another by in
stitutional bondholders and the
third by Brinkley—differ in many
details, including the treatment of
, present stockholders.
, The Erie plan would give present
preferred and common stockholders
1 share-for-share in new common
stock. Brinkley would give the
[ stockholders one share of new com
mon for each share now held and
i the right to purchase additional
> stock. The institutional group’s
1 plan would give present stockhold
1 ers only the right to purchase new
common at $36.25 a share.
, Edward W. Bourne, counsel for
the institutional group, argued for
the adoption by the I. C. C. of that
group's proposal. He said it rep
resented “a substantial agreement
of creditors.”
The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway
now owns 55.68 per cent of the
Erie's voting stock for which it
paid $44,825,295.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK. Nov. 15.—Laggard
stock.' followed the upward lead of
business today, but buyers entered
the market only in small groups.
Gains of fractions to full points
were spread all over the big board
toward the fourth hour. The ad
vances, however, were timid—and so
were the traders.
The ticker tape traveled at a snail
like pace, and one analyst—typical
of many in Wall Street—expressed
the opinion:
“The path of least resistance is
likely to prove to be upward."
The shares of capital goods indus
tries led the creeping advance.
Leaders in the rise included U. S.
Steel, Bethlehem, Republic Steel,
Chrysler, Goodrich. Anaconda, Al
f’homiral TTnitoH Airrroft
Eastern Air Lines. United Air Lines,
Du Pont, Santa Fe and Southern
Railway. |
Curb prices moved upward sym
pattietically and at a corresponding
ly slow pace, with leading gainers !
including Newmont Mining, Sher
win Williams, Quaker Oats, Singer
Manufacturing. Minnesota Mining ;
& Manufacturing, and Eorne
Scrymser. j
The end of the "political truce” *
in Washington and the consequent
outburst of theorizing as to whether f
President Roosevelt intends to run
for a third term was watched in- ’’
tently in Wall Street, but no one
appeared certain as to whether the
present apathy of the market bore
much relationship to the domestic
political scene.
