Remain Aloof Although the state department was silent upon this point, it was assumed by observers that word had gone to Norman H. Davis, the American ambassador at large, reminding him of this country's desire to remain aloof from political entanglements.

Officials here felt that the conferences preceding the reconvening of the arms parley on Oct 26 could not escape carrying continental political implications, and that Davis, therefore, should remain out of them. It has been stated here that the United States had not become aligned politically with any of the European powers and that such unities of purpose as the recent American indorsement of British and French plans for Geneva had been based purely upon disarmament matters. Some officials here were known to feel that unless Germany-could be persuaded to re-enter the. disarmament parley little could be achieved there. The only hope seen by officials was that a plan might be reached which would gain German indorsement after it hau been formulated by the other powers.

Lantz, leader of the agricultural bloc which is opposing passage of the 30 million dollars unemployment relief program, is "playing politics with human misery." The Senate reconvenes tomorrow to again consider the bond issue program which is advocated by Gov. Horner. When it adjourned last week the agricultural bloc, which is insisting on passage of the so-called Lantz bills, had checkmated administration efforts to pass the bond issue. The Lantz bills would place the burden of relief on local taxpayers. In a telegram to Senator Lantz, the Moline Mayor said the action of bond issue opponents was "unbelievable." His telegram, in part follows: "I have read press reports where you have checkmated the state administration, and its plans for issuance of 30 million dollars in bonds to provide unemployment relief.

I feel this action is playing politics with human misery. Our city at present is almost 100 per cent on a work relief program, The funds being provided from sales tax revenue the federal government, and some issues to be paid out of the gas tax. "This worthy program of our state administration will save property owners many thousands of dollars in property taxes. We must all forget political lines and pull together -as 100 per cent American citizens. Your action in obstructing state administration's worthy program for unemployment relief and property tax reduction is unbelievable.

whose formation was announced last night by President Roosevelt, got to work Monday, and after a long meeting announced readiness "to proceed with all possible dispatch" toward releasing one billion dollars of frozen deposits in banks. Jones said the plan of operation would be to select a chairman of the deposit liquidation committee for each federal reserve district, who in turn would select local chairmen if he desired.

The corporation may later look into the status of those banks, however. The comptroller of the currency already has in hand appraisals of the assets of 778 national banks that are still unlicensed.

They have deposits of 671 million dollars. At the suggestion of the President, these appraisals will be re-examined by the district advisory committees. Plan of Loans Money will be lent to the receivers and conservators on a basis of four per cent. Loans will be 'made up to a maximum of 50 per cent of banks' deposits inclusive of distributions heretofore made. Where remaining assets are worth less than 50 per cent, depositors will get only their share in the remaining assets, with the 'deductions for liquidating expenses and taxes.
