BANKERS SAY
‘LITTLE MEN’
HAVE MONEY
Corporations Now On
Small End, Causing
Lopsided Prosperity,
Is Claimed
NEW ORLEANS. Nov 14—OP—
Ybe important economic policy
eommisMon of the American Bank- i
•rs association said Thursday "little"
men and not big corporations now
have the money.
The report was made by 13 of
the nation's leading banker* as
the annual convention neared a
close after the spirited selection
of Orval W Adams of Sait Lake
City as second vice president.
Adams, a critic of the Roosevelt
recovery program, normally will
become president in two year*.
The commission said the strange
j> ‘ situation in which the average
man had more money to spend and
the corporations les^ was producing
a rather lop-sided prosperity.
“In the past three years.” the re
port said, "there have been large
increases in the consumer purchas
ing power of great numbers oi our
population.
"The part of our national pro
ductive economy which has not
made satisfactory progress is that
Which includes construction and;
the making ot durable goods."
It said the chief reason lor lack
of production of such things as
manufacturing plants and their
machinery ship* and locomotives,
pipe lines and bridges, cranes and
•re docks was that "there has been
nearly compi^Le shrinkage m the
flow of new capital issues by corp
orations."
The report said the way to cure
unemployment was not through
incurring public Indebtedness, but
by the "creation of new corporate
borrowings."
The oankers declared business
had "genuinely" improved for
farmers, retail merchants, hotel
keepers, entertainment managers
and most newspapers, but that. "20
per cent of our workers are idle. |
and their number* have not changed
much during the past two years.”
They said they did not expect
any "important increase*, in the
flow of new capital'’ m 1936, "or at
least in the early part of that
year.’*
Tlie report wa* signed by Leon
, ard P Ayres, vice president of the
Cleveland Trust company, chair
man. and by the other committee
men
Adams’ election came after a
convention floor light against the
nominating committee’s candidate.!
E G Bennett of Ogden, Utah.
Bennett s opponents charged he
was Indirectlv associated with gov
ernment-controlled financial Insti
tutions H« called the charges
"bunk and withdrew his name.
Suspect Arrested
SAN BENITO. Nov. 11—Arrested
by Fletcher Rawli of the U. fi. Bor
der Petrol, a suspect t* lodged in

Game Gets Governors Of
***** *****
Two States in Hot Water
DES MOINES. Nov. 14. —</P>—
Wager of a prize porker on the out
come of a football game had two
governors in hot water Thursday.
Virgil Case, secretary of the
Des Moines 8ocial Justice club,
filed gambling charges against
Governor Clyde L. Herring of Iowa.
He said he would file charges
against both the Iowa executive
and Governor Floyd B. Olson of
Minnesota, under a federal statute
which prohibits interstate trans
portation of gambling equipment or
the fruits of gambling.
Intense rivalry between teams
from the Universities of Iowa and
Minnesota last Thursday was the
occasion for much bantering be
tween the governors. Each wager
ed a pig on the outcome of the
game
Wednesday Governor Hpmng in
a “pig in the parlor” episode at the
Minnesota state house paid off his
debt.
The Iowa governor appeared
little concerned over the warrant.
“It is only disgusting to me" he
said, ‘that my first and only
venture in the game of chance
should bring on a warrant. It looks
as if I might have to write out a
pardon for myself.”
But Case said he saw no humor
in the bet. declaring the governor
“should set an example for other
citizens of Iowa.”
