State agencies will not concede at this stage that there is no ciunmal violation involved.' Instead • proving legality, the in vestigation has so fai "not proven criminality, according to SBI. The scheme, as was outlined m prev.ous publicity is tor Davenport to solicit ’'loans'’ in sums ol $11)1) or more, lor which he gives a check at tiit time he accepts .he money. The cheek is good upon pt esentatiom but until it is casheit t‘ e holder can collect So a week on each $lbo loan ed. Davenport then re-len.'s lids in ■■mall am emts at ten percent a week. It was reported a . mind Raleigh. a"d m the communities where the scheii e nourishes—New Bern, Kin ston. Goldsboro. Rocky Mount Greenville and perhaps other towns— that many ut "depositors'' were "ash ing the checks following the splurge of newspaper publicity last week. Dow extensive these withdrawal:, have been < an only be guessed. M 1 ile schemes of this kind natur ally nourish better without too much publicity. SBI agents report that Davenport had cooperated fully in tnen investigation, has made his books and records available nd has apparently not sought to hide any thing ci nnected with the business. Saturday he went another step and took the proposition to the public himself. Whatever may be the linai out come of the current investigation, which lias not been abandoned, or what the effect may be upon the business itself, one almost certain result wiill be legislation next year putting tins kind of operation deti iitelv outside the law. Publicity »iven tins enterprise, following closely upon that indictment to in volvement of two members 01 the jeneral .Assembly in Federal indict-' nent in connection with small loan jperations, has brought the whole matter to public attention ;t cannot oe longer ignored. Bankers, legislators and law en forcement officers recognize the ne cessity tor providing methods m aiiall short term loans, and ;h-*y cuow they cannot be made at six percent per annum. There .a ati ang eutiments against raising the legal nterest rate, but to maintain at an nviulable six percent would be to ; ut off entirely facilities lor the small hurt time borrower.
