Demand for New Banking System Gives Solons Chance To -Argue
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—(UJR)— President Hoover’s demand that the nation’3 banking system be overhauled attracted most atten tion in congress today. His appeal for a general manufacturer’s excise tax also created considerable interest.
MiJd criticism came from a few Democrats. The only pronounced dissenter was Senator George W. Norris, Repn., Neb., supporter of Governor Roosevelt who commented caustically:
“The parts of the president’s message which I heard were bunk.”
Other comments follows: Senate Republican floor leader Watson, “It was a good message for time and under the conditions which confront congress.” Senator Reed, Repn., Pa.: “I am particularly glad he renewed his recommendations for a sales tax.” Senate Democratic floor leader Robinson: “With respect to that part of the message which relates to the banking system, the recommendations of the president are discouragingly indefinite with respect to war debts, today’s message leaves the congress without guidance.”
Majority leader Henry T. Rainey of the house: “The president’s message is notable for its omissions.”
House Republican floor leader Snell: “The outstanding recom-mendaton of this message is changes in the fundamental banking laws of the country. I am in entire accord with his position on a limited manufacturers sales tax. We ought to have passed It last year.”
Speaker of the House Garner: “There are quite a number of suggestions with which I am in agreement.”
An exhibition of problems completed during the current year and a special showing of the Paris prize competition, sponsored by the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design, will comprise the homecoming program of the College of Architecture, according to Whiting Thompson, president of architecture.

Praising the Literary Guild work of Carl Van Doren, eminent critic, biographer, and author, who is speaking tomorrow night at S o'clock in Bovard auditorium on "Why and How Writers Write,” Miss Katharine Glover, head of the S.C. bookshop in the Student Union, says:
“Undoubtedly Mr. Van Doren’s leadership as editor-in-chief of the Literary Guild of America has brought people all over the country in closer contact with modern literary activities. This has been of particular value to those living in outlying districts or remote towns where library and book store facilities are unknown.
Founded in 1926 by Carl Van Doren, the guild has availed 50,000 people of outstanding books each month for the past five years. With the new editions which are
sent out, the club’s editors review 20 or more books every 30 days in an accompanying magazine entitled “Wings.” In this way, members receive timely information on 250 books or more a year.
Judging from the thousands of letters of appreciation which pour into Mr. Van Doren’s offices in New York, his system has proven an incentive in starting home libraries throughout the United States. Miss Glover stated today.
Besides heading the guild, Carl \ an Doren has been editor of "The Nation’ 'and “The Century Magazines, as well as the author of several biogragraphies. of which the best known are “James Branch Cabell.” “The Life of Thomas Love Peacock,” "Sinclair Lewis,” “Bernard Shaw,” and his most re-cenUy published “Swift”
