The bank holiday spirit spread Wednesday with governors of four states Kentucky, Tennessee, Okla homa and Alabama declaring mora toriums designed to support banking institutions and protect depositors. Banking holidays and legislative or executive edicts authorizing restricted withdrawals operated in various states as follows: Oklahoma Gov. Murray pro claimed a compulsory three-day hol iday.

Tennessee Governor proclaimed, a six-day holiday, not mandatory. Kentucky Governor declared a four-day holiday, also not mandatory. Alabama Ten-day suspension of banking business ordered by governor. Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Arkansas have in force measures authorizing banks to limit demands on their funds to a small percentage of deposits, in most cases 5 per cent. Maryland Banking moratorium extended by gubernatorial proclamation pending enactment of stabilization measures.

Michigan Banking holiday still in force. Plans for establishment of two Ford backed banks in Detroit at an impasse as United States Senator Couzens conferred with state bankers. The Idaho legislature authorized the governor to declare suspensions of all business operations in the state by proclaiming "legal holidays" whenever. In his opinion, "extraordinary conditions exist Justifying such action." Gov. Olson, of Minnesota, signed an emergency measure giving the state commissioner of banks power to authorize state banks to suspend business for short periods.

In the states where bank officials were authorized to limit withdrawals of deposits, few institutions responded. In Ohio, however, over 200 banks were taking advantage of the privilege, but business quickly adjusted itself to the situation. Frqm Rome came information that Italian bankers, in the face of the unprecedented situation, expressed increased confidence in the stability of the United States banking structure and were proving it by increasing their deposits in this country. wmm l4 "SiifK The final vote on the bill was to 36, two short of the necessary two-thirds to it immediately effective. The provisions of the measure call for an appointive one-man utilities commissioner to have charge of the work now done by the elected three-man railroad commission- The democratic spokesman said the proposed elimination was economy legislation and that the present com mission had outlived its usefulness.

The republicans contended that the change would constitute centraliza tion of power in the hands of the governor. Elimination of the bonding department was much easier, the final vote being 97 to 2iThe abolition measure authorizes liquidation of the department's assets and forbids further issuance of bonds. The state entered the bonding business in 1919 and wrote bonds for officials of the state government' and its subdivisions. Three companion bills changing the motor vehicle registration and regulation laws were pushed through the house. While ace measure reduces truck and auto licenses, a second provided for compensation fees ranging from $30 to $280 which trucks would be required tof pay for use of the state's highways.

A third measure places enforcement of all motor vehicle laws under -supervi sion of the secretary of state. li cense fees for autos 3 and 5 years or more of age were reduced "50 and 70 per cent, respectively. Deferring most 'of the controver sial measures on its calendar, the senate approved 13 comparatively unimportant bills. Bills legalizing 3.2 per cent alcoholic beverages, declaring a mortgage foreclosure moratorium until March 1, 1935, and authorizing the state to Issue 000 worth of negotiable, interest bearing bonds were put on Thurs day's calendar. The senate got into a parliamen tary jam before It killed Senator I J.

Ballou's chain store tax bill. The vote on a motion to postpone Indefinitely the measure was 22 to 20. Ldeut. Gov. Ustrud first held the motion lost on the theory that a majority of senators-elect (45).

was required for its approval. After considerable argument he reversed the ruling and declared the postponement motion1 carried because it received a majority vote of those present, i By a vote of 24 to 19. the senate refused to reconsider the action by which it approved a bill abolishing the state hail Insurance department. The measure thus goes to the house for final action. Announce Dates Des Moines.

But the steering committee, after conferring with representatives of the governor, decided to push the bill as amended by the house. The bill would grant a stay on foreclosures until March 1, 1935, at any time after the decree has been entered and before the sale has been confirmed. As it came from the governor, the bill would stop foreclosure actions in their present status without letting them go any farther toward a decree. Senate Defeats Repeal Outright repeal of the farm bureau act was defeated by the senate agriculture committee, which voted unanimously to postpone indefinitely a bill containing this provision. How.

ever, the coriimittee acted favorably on a measure permitting farmers who once signed-a petition for a bureau, to withdraw' their names. Unable to do that at present, some say they are at a disadvantage when they try i to get up' a petition for abolition of a county farm bureau. The house bill giving the department of agriculture power to eradicate anthrax also was reported out by the' committee. The house fees committee reported favorably on, a substitute bill which would reduce salaries of all county officers 20 per cent unless the cut would put them below $1,000, which was fixed as a minimum.

Whitney Says No to Ideas of Changing Market Functions Washington. vR An affable but firm "no" was the answer of Richard Whitney, president of the i New York stock exchange to suggestions for changing the way the huge market place functions. His views were expressed to the senate banking committee after it had received testimony that a 110,000 loan had gone from National City company funds to John Ramsey, general manager of the port of New York authority.

Ramsey was said to have borrowed the money after the National City company had participated in underwriting a- $66,000,000 port of New York: authority bond issue in March, 1931. A statement on his behalf, however, insisted Ramsey thought it came, from Edward P. Barrett, Vice president of the National City bank and an' old friend, as a personal loan.

(JP) Hermann Goering, minister without portfolio in the Hitler government, declared in a speech Wednesday night that the incendiary fire at the reichstag building Monday night was meantto inaugurate a series of violent acts culminating in a communist' revolution. For this reason he asserted, 5 the government was justified in promulgating its drastic decrees of the last two days, which have greatly increased penalties for treason and have placed Germany under virtual martial law.

The communists, the cabinet min-ister said, have spread handbills calling for the formation of groups for so called self protection, but really intended to provoke civil war. Communist material which has been seized, he continued, disclosed forged orders to national socialist storm troopers to be in readiness after the election next Sunday night to seize Berlin by force. Capt. Goering interpreted I this as an obviously intended threat to terrorize the population. He declared that the lives of communists and socialists were not endangered so long as they kept strictly; within the law.

The nationwide process of squelching communism continued unabated, with hundreds of leading communists undergoing arrest while many others fled into hiding. Meanwhile, "President von Hinden-burg greatly increased the powers of the government by a decree raising the penalties for espionage, treason and subversive acts. The decree established the death penalty for disclosing or; attempting to obtain important military secrets and specified 10 years imprisonment for transmitting to foreign governments objects or news which, even if false, should not bedisseminated in the interest of the reich.

Clrak said after a conference with the young broker. The chief said whether the house was in Denver and certain other details made known to him could not be released at this time. The officer expressed his opinion, however, that the abduction was a "legitimate kidnaping." According to the story Chief Clark said Boettecher told him the kidnapers told the young heir he was "going on a long ride" and that if he was "good" he would not be injured. The abductors drove all night of the kidnaping, all the next day and most of the next night.

Boettcher was blindfolded after the kidnapers' car had' progressed only a block, from the Boettcher home, scene of the abduction. i Boettcher remained in the house throughout his absence Clark said. The wealthy society favorite was released on Gaylord street between Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fifth streets, was blindfolded and instructed to count -to 150 before removing the blindfold. Held by.
