ED. NO. BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1933 President Hits Conservator Of Closed Bank Norton Says Depositors of First National at Hempstead Must Act Hempstead, June 24-Declaring that "salvation" of the closed First National Bank of they Hempstead rests in the depositors' movement under the chairmanship of B. Elliot Burston, Hempstead attorney, and urging all depositors to sign the petition without delay, Carroll F. Norton, president of the bank, today became an active participant in the program to "reopen the bank at as early a date as possible." In a signed statement, issued after he himself had signed the depositors' petition, Mr.

Norton deplored the fact that nearly four months have passed since the bank closed its doors and that no united effort has been taken until the present depositors' campaign to act for themselves and in their own interest. Hit Conservator The movement of the depositors was accelerated by discussions before a meeting of stockholders recently when Mr. Burston pioned the cause of the depositors and assailed B. P. Van Benthuysen, conservator of the bank, an "an obstructionist." He declared that since the effort of the directors to perfect a plan for reopening, the conservator had offered no suggestion concerning any program to relieve the 7,000 distressed depositors.

Mr. Burston declared that in the interest of the depositors he had visited Washington and there joined the National Depositors Committee as the only representative from Long Island. This committee, formed by representatives of 20 million depositors throughout the country, adopted resolutions, now before President Roosevelt, which demand a more liberal policy on the part of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation with respect to refinancing closed banks. Must Be United By this liberalization of policy, Mr. Burston said, the First National Bank of Hempstead was reasonably certain of securing sufficient loan, once the depositors had united on the "Waiver Plan." This plan was submitted to the stockholders in opposition to the socalled "Spokane pilathe offered by the conservator.

"Spokane Plan" having been abandoned, this "waiver or deferred deposit plan" has since been submitted to the Nassau County Clearing House Association for consideration, although the plan itself already has the sanction of officials of the Treasury Department. Since this stockholders meeting, more than 600 persons with deposits of over $500.000 have alligned themselves with the depositors' movement. City Will Appeal MacMaster Ruling Corporation Counsel Hlily said last night that the city will appeal the ruling of Supreme Court Justice James T. Hallinen which held that Frank J. MacMaster had been wrongfully removed as Deputy Public Works Commissioner under Borough President Harvey.

Eight members of Harvey's cabinet will be in a position to keep their jobs under any succeeding borough administration if the higher courts uphold Justice Hallinan, Mr. Hilly believes. Justice Hallinan ruled that MacMaster had not been given any hearing and that no charges had been brought against him. MacMaster brought a court action to force Harvey to reinstate him.

HURT IN FALL FROM AUTO Cornelius McMonicle, 23, of 151 Midwood suffered a morning possible skull fracture at 4:30 this when he fell out of an automobile which he was a passenger at Lee Ave. and Rutledge St. car was driven by James Shand, 1227 Hudson Ave. I Following up the action taken by its executive board at a meeting held last Wednesday night when it was decided to agitate for Federal funds for the improvement of Jamaica Bay Harbor, the Flatbush Chamber of Commerce has asked Borough President Hesterberg to submit the matter to the consideration of Gen, Hugh S. Johnson, administrator of the National Industrial Recovery Act.

Pointing out that the act provides under the comprehensive program of public works, for the construction of river and harbor 1m- provements, the communication to Hesterberg declared that "the Flatbush Chamber of Commerce has been vitally interested in Jamaica Bay harbor since its inception because of the possibilities which it offers for development of this portion of Brooklyn." The letter further reads, "The chamber understands that a list of projects is now being made up by the city administration which will be submitted for consideration to Administrator Hugh S. Johnson. We respectfully ask that you include the completion of the Jamaica Bay project in the list of undertakings which the Federal Government is requested to execute under the National Industrial Recovery Act, and that you make vigorous efforts to get the work done." George Barnewall, president of the chamber and chairman of the special committee on Jamaica Bay appointed by the Board of. Estimate, who sent the request to Hesterberg, pointed out that the development of the harbor project "has been sadly neglected." The project was authorized by Congress in, 1910, at an estimated cost of $7,304,000, later revised (in 1919) to $11,806,000, but up to June 30 of last year only $3,194,764 had been expended, Barnewall declared. Meanwhile, he said, the City of New York has expended the same sum on the project proper and several millions more upon collateral improvements, such as the building of the Cross Bay Boulevard, the extension of Flatbush Ave.

to Rockaway Inlet and the construction of the municipal airport, Floyd Bennett Field. The National Industrial Recovery Act carries an appropriation of which will be loaned and $3,300,000,000, a large proportion, of municipalities, but a considerable. part will be expended directly by the Federal Government, and the completion of the Jamaica Bay project comes within this category, Barnewall pointed out. The benefits which the city will derive from the completion of project were first outlined in the report made in 1907 by the Jamaica Bay Improvement Commission to the Board of Estimate, and have "been confirmed many times since in reports made under subsequent city administrations," the chamber contends.

And then he told of what he considered the adventureless trip in the 320-foot, -rigged vessel from Australia to England and the greatest impression he had was of work, constant work. He did not like the food and he did not have much fun, but he admitted that the discipline had done him good and that his health, always good, was even better.
