M’Narv Charges
J u
Sent to Harding
Confirmation as Comptroller
of Currency This Session
Improbable.
Washington. Fob. 26.—A detailed
statement of charges and evidence
against James G. McXary, New Mex
Ica and Texas banker, nominated to
be comptroller of currency, was sent
to President Harding today by Sena
tor Couzens, republican, Michigan,
chairman of the senate banking sub
committee, which has been consider
ing the nomination. Committee mem
bers declared the statement was not
to be regarded as a formal report,
although the committee had cogni
zance of Its commission, and it was of
such a character as to present to the
president the question of the advisa
bility of insisting upon Mr. McNary's
confirmation.
The statement was said to detail
evidence secured by the subcommit
tee from bank examiners and others
regarding the banking transactions of
Mr. McNary and other officers of the
First National bank of K1 Paso, of
which Mr. McNary was president.
Loans made from the funds of the
bank and from other -sources to Mr.
McNary were passed under review, in
cluding its correspondence on the sub- '
Ject between the bank and the comp
troller's office in Washington.
One banking transaction of Mr. Me- i
Nary's under review Involved a loan
of *114,000 said to have been made
by a New York hank on a Mexican
sugar deal. Mr. McNary was report
ed to have Insisted before the com
mittee that this was a personal and
private transaction. ,
Whether President Harding will
withdraw the nomination in view of
the evidence contained in Senator
Couzens’ statement remained uncer
tain today, hut the general predic- |
tlon among senators was that in any
case confirmation before the end of
the session would be Impossible.

Two Range Transmission
for Auto Trucks of Future
"In course of time, only motor
trucks with removable cylinder walls
and something approximating the two
range transmission will be used,"
says Lee Huff, vice president of the
Nebraska Bulck Auto company. "But
before this is done, other factories
must market millions of dollars of old (
models and material.
"There Is a fist growing apprehen- j
sion of the high merit of the new
OMtl K-serlea trucks on the part of
transportation superintendents, pur
chasing agents, and othpr officials of
large business institutions who are
recognizing the fact that these fea
tures make for economy in truck op
eration.”
