Bank Holiday Is Topic of Men’s Faculty Meeting
A special meeting of the Men’s Faculty club was called Friday at 3:30 p.m. in Hoose hall by President Rufus B. von KleinSmid for the purpose of discussing the bank holiday.
The suggestion was made by the board of trustees that inasmuch as the faculty is a clear-thinking group of leaders in the community its members should be able to give intelligent answers to questions on the subject. Presi-sident von KleinSmid gave a resume of conditions leading up to the bank holiday and talks were given by Dean Reid L McClung, Prof. Joy Leonard, and Dean William G. Hale. All of the speakers stated that they felt confidence in the situation and that there was no cause for worry.
Professor Leonard quoted figure* relating to the 12th Federal Reserve district which showed that all of the closed banks had ample kinds to meet reasonable demands.
D*»an Hale said that the situation was a matter for faith and courage and that trouble would arise only If people became panic-stricken.
The Idea was brought out that legislation would be affected shortly. probably limiting cash withdrawals to five per cent and allowing checks to circulate as per usual.

Z Piccard Predicts New Air Flights
PHOENIX, Ariz., March 5.—OLE) —Prediction that man soon will be flying through the stratosphere j in specially designed airplanes was made today by Prof. Auguste Piccard, noted Belgium scientist, during a brief stop here while en route t.o Dallas, Tex., by air.

It was intimated by some that the emergency legislative program would deal definitely with the currency problem, although congressional leaders professed to be uninformed as to details.

Roosevelt Declares Modified Holiday
WASHINGTON, Mar. 5—(UJR)—A A modified national bank holiday extending through Thursday was declared by President Roosevelt in a proclamation tonight.
He ordered all banks to suspend payments of gold and other forms of currency now' on deposit. A special session of congress has been summoned to meet Thursday to consider banking and financial legislation.
System Ordered A system of clearing house certificates was ordered under the supervision of the various federal reserve districts to obtain virtual national uniformity.
The secretary of the treasury is empowered to authorize that new deposits made after the modified holiday went into effect may be accepted and preserved in special trust accounts which shall be subject to withdrawal on demand without any restriction or limitation. Banks must keep such funds separately in cash, or deposit in federal reserve banks or invest them in obligations of the United States government.
Plan Deliberate The modified bank holiday was fixed deliberately to extend through the opening day of the new congress. W'hether an extension might be necessary would depend upon what action congress took.
President Roosevelt has not indicated publicly the nature of the legislation he will ask, but it was obvious that he is now hopeful that whatever this legislation may be it will go through at once.
The question of the constitutionality of this action was carefully studied and President Roosevelt was given to understand by his advisers that he proceeded in accord with the provisions of the war-time act.
War-Time Comparison Nothing comparable to this action insofar as lt affects the activities of the average citizen has occurred since the famous war-time closing order issued under Woodrow Wilson. In that instance factories and other fuel consuming institutions were ordered to suspend operations for 10 days to prevent congestion on the railroads.
As the president conferred with his cabinet and congressional leaders in a tense atmosphere reminiscent of war-times, Secretary of Treasury Woodin gathered about him leading bankers of New York and Chicago to arrange for the banking holiday which was proclaimed as the bankers still were closeted in the treasury where they had spent the Sabbath.

Bank Laws for State Framed
Emergency Bills To Solv€ California Financial Crisis Studied
SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.— (U.P>—Members of the San Francisco clearing house association today informally agreed to a plan for issuing scrip.
It was believed the plan would be ratified at an executive session of association members to day.
California’s banking holiday wa# extended until Thursday morning by Governor Rolph.
Meanwhile, a proposed emer* gency law restricting bank with* drawals was agreed upon by banking interests. Its test was telegraphed to Senators Hir&m Johnson and WTillIam G. McAdoo, who were asked to determine If it meets approval of federal authorities.
Hamilton H. Cotton, Los Angeles Democratic leader and a candidate for the federal post of comptroller of the currency under the Roosevelt administration, said amendments to the bill probably would be offered by southern California interests.
The measure would give tha state superintendent of banks authority to limit withdrawals at his discretion. The withdrawals would be uniform for every bank in the state.
Senator Roy Fellom’s bill providing for the banking superintendent to supervise clearing house certificates was expected to come up in committee before the legislature Monday.
Amendments to the state building and loan act protecting tbe institutions from unwarranted withdrawals during the bank holiday or during limitations, is ready for presentation to the legislature.
S. C. Head Tells Faculty Attitude On Bank Crises
Capitol Visitors Caught in Inaugural Traffic Snarl
WASHINGTON, March 5—(Ui?)— Almost 200,000 inaugural visitors— many of them almost penn’les3— wanted to get out of town tonight. Thousands tried in vain.
The city was one gigantic traffic snarl. Hundreds missed outgoing trains because iheir taxicabs took hours instead of minutes to reach Union station. Other hundreds tried to buy tickets, but found train reservations sold ouf Still more hundreds wanted transportation, but couldn’t pay the price. They had spent all their cash seeing the sights incident to the inauguration o! President Roosevelt. The nation-wide banking situation made lt impossible for them to cash checks.
telegraph offices, which did a rushing business sending collect, wired pleas for money. The rest of the moneyless visitors returned to their hotels. They admitted they didn’t know what to do.
The inaugural parade route, from the capitol to the White House, meantime was a scene of wreck and ruin. Street cleaners labored in vain. The avenue of presidents was thronged with too many tourists and littered with too much crumpled paper for tne workers to do much good.
It took nearly an hour for an automobile to creep from the capitol to the executive mansion, a trip which Mr. Roosevelt and his motorcycle escort made in 10 min-
Some of the destitute flocked to j utes flat yesterday.
President R. B. von KleinSmid of The University of Southern California called a special meeting of the faculty at 3:30 Friday afternoon in order to outline to the staff of S.C. the attitude of the administration toward the bank holiday designated by Gov. James Rolph Jr., to answer inquiries and to allay fears.
The group expressed its entire confidence in tbe banking situa-tion, and faith and belief that within a few days things Mil b* cleared up to the satisfaction of all depositors.
“The meeting was called* stated Dr. von KleinSmid. “in tho interests of a sane interpretation of the bank holiday, and confidence was expressed that matters are well in hand, that the holiday will be of brief duration, and that the outcome will be to the benefit of all concerned."
